Paper
Layered symplectic musical space — proof paper
The academic flagship and current formal authority: theorem-driven, AMS-format, and intended for submission as a mathematics preprint. Contains the full proof trail from discrete seed to cardinality-graded symplectic quotient.
This is the academic flagship paper and the current formal authority for the project, intended for submission as a mathematics preprint (arXiv/journal). The revised AMS draft proves the layered Fourier embedding, the standard exact symplectic thickening in chosen Fourier coordinates, Hamiltonian circle extensions for transposition and cyclic reindexing, anti-symplectic inversion, and the finite cyclic quotient/orbifold-stratum picture.
Relationship to other documents: The technical survey predates this revision and should be read as an earlier interdisciplinary exposition. The camera-ready volume is the public-facing essay collection. This proof paper is the most formal of the three and is the authoritative reference where any language diverges.
