2772 — Plaquette Flatness Reduces Graph Phase to Carrier Cohomology
The graph-only phase quotient includes local plaquette curvature. Flat edge phases modulo vertex gauge are instead (H^1(X;U(1))), or (H^1(X;C_2)) on a real locus. A filled triangle reduces graph cycle rank one to (b_1=0); the minimal torus retains (b_1=2). Quantum duality and intersection anticommutation remain additional coefficient-lens structure.
