Anomaly Inflow Quantizes Relative Orientation, Not Absolute Sign

Anomaly inflow supplies a quantized CP-odd bias

$$E_{\rm odd}=-k\eta J,$$

where $k$ is the integer anomaly level, $\eta$ is the boundary normal, and $J$ is a faithful weak-basis flavor orientation. At fixed $\eta$, this selects $J$. Anomaly matching protects $k$ under symmetry-preserving RG and gapped vectorlike thresholds.

The unoriented joint source retains two exact minima:

$$(\eta,J)=(+1,+1),\qquad(-1,-1).$$

They have the same energy and inflow current but opposite absolute flavor sign. Fixing $\eta$ restricts the experiment to a stabilizer groupoid and creates a relational orientation port. In an anomaly-free channel $k=0$, so inflow supplies no bias.

Claim boundary

RG and threshold protection require an unbroken anomaly-supporting symmetry and a maintained gap. The result is a relational selector theorem, not a physical16 detector construction.
