Global Section Carry Criterion
Abstract
An additive section exists exactly when canonical carry is cancelled by section carry.
Theorem 1.1 (Section existence and canonical carry cancellation).

Commentary.
For additive commutative groups X and B, q is an additive quotient map and r is a normalized set-theoretic right inverse. The kernel-valued carry and the carry of beta are both instances of the repository’s canonical section-carry construction.
A homomorphic right-inverse section exists exactly when a kernel-valued change of section cancels the canonical carry. Consequently, absence of a cancellation witness rules out every additive section.
