3767 — Generic Rational Cosets Form an Exact Four-Port Fourier Orbit

For shifted support and character-weighted combs

$$P_r=\sum_n\delta_{n+r/q}, \qquad C_r=\sum_ne^{2\pi i rn/q}\delta_n,$$

Fourier transport gives

$$\mathcal FP_r=C_{-r}, \qquad \mathcal FC_r=P_r.$$

Hence a generic rational shift follows the exact orbit

$$P_r\longmapsto C_{-r}\longmapsto P_{-r} \longmapsto C_r\longmapsto P_r.$$

The four ports retain support shift, dual character, reflected support, and conjugate character. The half-shift degenerates to a two-cycle; the unshifted integer comb collapses all ports to one.

Thus the four-rung tower is forced by Fourier order four, with reflection at the second step. The integer source only appears intrinsically one-port because it is the common fixed object of the generic orbit.
