Structural transfers in the directed backward sweep #
Structural routing changes which node owes a coefficient. Addition and subtraction accumulate both parent occurrences, including when their graph identifiers coincide.
Copying a coefficient to a value-preserving parent preserves its exact contribution.
An addition routes the same coefficient to both parents and sums both contributions.
Subtraction routes a directed negation to the right parent, including repeated-parent cancellation without assuming that the rounded coefficient interval is a point.
Broadcasting a scalar coefficient to all coordinates encloses the exact sum pullback.
A coefficient gathered along a coordinate map encloses the same gathered real vector.
A bijective coordinate change preserves an exact real objective.
The actual axis-permutation pullback encloses coefficients with the same real objective.
