Appendix B — Operator Tables

Complete tabular data for all 12 dimensional operators: indices, names, base operators, associated invariants, phase-advance maps, matrix structure, and spectral properties. Full table in Chapter 3.

Key spectral fact

For all $i$: $\|u_i w_i^T\| \leq 1/3$ and $\sigma_{\min}(A_i^\perp) \geq 2/3$. These bounds are uniform across all 12 operators, enabling the Pythagorean estimate of Chapter 6 to sum 12 equal contributions.

Appendix D — External Theorems Cited

D.1 Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem

Let $B \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be compact and convex, $f : B o B$ continuous. Then $\exists\, x^* \in B : f(x^*) = x^*$. (Brouwer 1911; Milnor, Topology from a Differentiable Viewpoint, 1965.) Included for reference; the main proof uses Banach directly.

D.2 Banach Fixed Point Theorem (Contraction Mapping Theorem)

Let $(X, d)$ be a complete metric space and $f : X o X$ a strict contraction with constant $\kappa < 1$. Then: (i) $\exists!\, x^* \in X : f(x^*) = x^*$; (ii) $d(f^n(x), x^*) \leq \kappa^n/(1-\kappa) \cdot d(x, f(x))$ for all $x \in X$. (Banach 1922.) Used directly in Theorem 6.1 with $X = K$ (compact, hence complete).

(X, d) complete metric space,  f : X → X contraction (κ < 1)
⟹  ∃! x* : f(x*) = x*  and  d(fⁿ(x), x*) ≤ κⁿ/(1−κ)·d(x,f(x))
