Fourier and action-angle schematic associated with the proof paper.

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.
