Complement Fiber Lift

Abstract

A section lifts base complement, and the lift square is its fiber retraction.

Theorem 1.1 (A right-inverse section lifts base complement).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/Negation/ComplementFiberLift.sectionLift_isComplementLift (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The section lift first reads the base value, applies the supplied base negation, and then chooses the section representative over that negated value.

The right-inverse hypothesis projects this representative back to the negated base value. This is exactly the pointwise complement-lift condition, with no injectivity requirement on the section.

Theorem 1.2 (The lift square is the section retraction).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/Negation/ComplementFiberLift.sectionLift_square (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

After the first lift, the right-inverse section exposes the complemented base value. Applying the lift again invokes base negation a second time.

Base involutivity cancels those two negations. The square of the lift is therefore not asserted to be the identity on all of the total space; it is exactly the retraction that sends each point to its chosen section representative.
