XIV-C@1#eq:triangle, XIV-C@1#eq:nus
For the incidence, the underlying scalar numerical factors are
Choose
At the fixed triple in J0,
With the inherited time-ordered orientation, the wavefront selections at the line endpoints are
The retarded forward-null singularity permits both conormal signs. The time-ordered signs are those copied in XIII-C. A simultaneous reversal of Fourier convention reverses all three selections and leaves the calculation unchanged.
In the common vertex order these covectors are
They are nonzero and
The original weight is nonzero. None of the vertices coincides with another. This is a retained configuration of the frozen graph, not a point removed by collision exclusion.
This selection is the inherited characteristic cancellation. The new calculation below identifies its geometric rank and support consequences.
