Finite Bilateral Trajectories
Abstract
Bilateral trajectories of a finite system are uniquely based at periodic points.

Commentary.
Let Y be finite and F a self-map. A bilateral trajectory is represented by its backward half x, satisfying F(x(n+1))=x(n); its forward half is then generated uniquely by F. A bilateral periodic trajectory is the subtype for which every represented state is periodic.
The exact repository coordinate-periodicity theorem proves the first conjunct and shows that every compatible trajectory belongs to that subtype. The exact coordinate-zero bijection supplies one trajectory through each periodic point and proves its uniqueness.
The imported repository results apply the pinned-Mathlib declarations Function.bijOn_periodicPts, Function.IsPeriodicPt.eq_of_apply_eq, and Fintype.exists_ne_map_eq_of_card_lt. Repository and pinned-Mathlib searches found no theorem packaging both displayed clauses.
