Structural real semantics and the backward interface #
The checked backward concat layout preserves the forward layout. Transpose and permutation use the coordinate bijection of the exact tensor evaluator. These facts derive the legacy backward equations from the actual real semantics, without a second semantic assumption.
A successful backward concat check preserves the forward layout and occurrence count.
A successful exact permutation of the real parent tensor yields the backward flat-index permutation equation.
The exact forward concat equation supplies the backward concat node equation.
Exact real permutation semantics supplies the backward permutation equation.
Exact real transpose semantics uses the same checked axis permutation as the backward pass.
One real structural semantics supplies the backward node equations. Valid parent indices are ordinary graph topology evidence; no interval enclosure or redundant value equation is assumed.
