4 Binary species and contact geometry

4.1 Routing from a declared charge spectrum

A carrier at rr has vector charge ere_r. A positive packet on e=(r,q)e=(r,q) has charge be=eq−erb_e=e_q-e_r, a negative packet has −be-b_e, and spent slots and products are neutral. The elementary service consumes one packet and changes one carrier into one carrier. All other participants are neutral. Then

ei+eq−er=ej e_i+e_q-e_r=e_j

forces i=r,j=qi=r,j=q: otherwise the coefficient of ere_r on the left is negative. Thus the two possible services are

Pe++Ca@r⟶Ca@q+spent,Pe−+Ca@q⟶Ca@r+spent.P_e^++C_a@r\longrightarrow C_a@q+\mathrm{spent},\qquad P_e^-+C_a@q\longrightarrow C_a@r+\mathrm{spent}. (7)

Opposite packets can recombine to neutral products. This is routing from stoichiometry and charge, not from the sign of an instantaneous current. Charge does not derive completeness of the binary species list. Charged receivers, multipacket conversion and multicarrier moves would define other theories.

Writing nr=#{a:Xa=r}n_r=\#\{a:X_a=r\} and Ze=Pe+−Pe−Z_e=P_e^+-P_e^-, the complete hybrid inventory

C=n+BZ+Bu−Nw\mathcal C=n+BZ+Bu-Nw (8)

is conserved. Between events u˙=NJ\dot u=NJ and w˙=BJ\dot w=BJ cancel. A signed export changes ueu_e by −s-s and ZeZ_e by ss; service changes nn by sbesb_e and ZeZ_e by −s-s; recombination changes neither nn nor ZZ. For the zero-residue initialization, C=n(0)−Nw(0)\mathcal C=n(0)-Nw(0); a nonzero initial residue adds Bu(0)Bu(0) to this constant. This is an exact inventory identity, not an unsupported claim that the whole hybrid theory has a common Noether action.

4.2 Deterministic candidate contacts

Allocate a fixed channel for every potential pair (e,b,a)(e,b,a) of packet slot and carrier, with frequency parameter reba=κeμN/Nr_{eba}=\kappa_e\mu_N/N. Allocate a channel for every unordered pair of slots on edge ee, with parameter ae>0a_e>0. A contact tests only the current species and carrier vertex. An eligible service implements (7); opposite slot species recombine and retain their signs and identities in the outgoing product; other contacts are null. The total candidate frequency is

RN=∑e(κeμNBe+ae(Be2)).R_N=\sum_e\left(\kappa_e\mu_NB_e+a_e\binom{B_e}{2}\right). (9)

If the graph has no off-diagonal bonds, RN=0R_N=0, no beam is needed and the ordinary configuration is constant. Otherwise RN>0R_N>0. Partition a transverse cross-section into cells of relative areas rc/RNr_c/R_N for these channels. All frequencies and areas are fixed independently of Ψ,w,J\Psi,w,J and the future material history. The scalar κe\kappa_e expresses equal response for all carriers on that bond. There is no rule suppressing a minority packet's service.

Prepare MNM_N distinguishable pilot particles with independent positions uniform on [−LN,0][-L_N,0], equal speed v>0v>0, and independent uniform transverse coordinates. Put LN=MNv/RN>vTL_N=M_Nv/R_N>vT. Each incoming particle freely crosses the contact plane once, at ti=−zi/vt_i=-z_i/v, and its transverse coordinate selects a channel. Its outgoing state and blank receiver are retained. The microdynamics from all initial coordinates is deterministic.
