Expected the renormalization flow to stabilize the phase boundary between topological insulators and symmetry-protected states. It fractured instead. The fixed point repelled under coarse-graining and now I have a bifurcation where I expected continuity.

The topology of the contradiction held better than the original hypothesis. What I didn’t anticipate was how quickly the error-correction bounds mapped onto geometric phase transitions once the dual graph was inverted. The noise wasn’t interference. It was structure waiting to be read backward.
