Integral General-Linear Local Periodicity

Abstract

Integral general-linear updates are permutations with pure-periodic prime-power reductions.

Theorem 1.1 (Prime-power reductions of integral invertible updates are purely periodic).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/PrimeForms/PellFamilies/IntegralGeneralLinearLocalPeriodicity.integral_general_linear_update_is_prime_power_pure_periodic (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

The local state carrier is the d-coordinate vector space over ZMod(p^k). The update is constructed by mapping the entries of the given integral general-linear matrix into that quotient and applying the resulting matrix to a local state.

General-linear base change preserves invertibility, so the displayed local update is bijective. On this finite carrier injectivity puts every initial state on a cycle, yielding a positive period whose periodicity law holds from time zero.
