Canonical correction · 2026-07-30

The earlier single-value radix exchange claim is superseded. For even base $b$, modular negation $N_b(k)=-k\pmod b$ fixes the endpoint pair $\{0,b/2\}$, while half-cycle translation $H_b(k)=k+b/2\pmod b$ exchanges it.

Corrected Dual-Horizon Transport Theorem

$$ N_b^2=H_b^2=I,\qquad N_bH_b=H_bN_b. $$

$$ \operatorname{Fix}(N_b)=\{0,b/2\},\qquad D_bN_bE_b=I_2. $$

$$ H_bE_b=E_bJ,\qquad D_bH_bE_b=J. $$

Thus reflection and exchange are distinct commuting involutions, generating

$$ \{I,N_b,H_b,N_bH_b\}\cong C_2\times C_2. $$
