2271 — Noncentral D(S3) Flux Ports Are Local but Not Native Gauge-Invariant Terms
Result
On one frozen oriented square, the based plaquette-flux effects
are four-edge Hermitian projectors. Hence their exponentials are exact local diagonal pulses whenever a based, element-resolved holonomy coupling is admitted.
They are not terms of the native commuting-projector Hamiltonian. With
exact enumeration gives
for the frozen transposition and three-cycle representatives. Every
conjugacy-class sum commutes with A, but class averaging loses the element
resolution required by the 36-dimensional endpoint-algebra theorem.
Thus the two minimal flux ports are local and Hermitian, but their physical
availability is a genuine apparatus enlargement. They can leave the larger
vertex-invariant excitation space, while acting exactly trivially on the flat
vacuum code because B^t B^e=B^c B^e=0. A useful control protocol must first
type the endpoint excitation on which these ports act.
Scope
This is a finite, source-typed result on one square plaquette and its base vertex. It does not establish a ribbon compilation, a perturbative gadget, fault-tolerant execution, a leakage bound in time, or hardware access to the four-edge diagonal coupling. It does not promote endpoint-algebra span into physical control.
