Self-Referential Scattering Networks: Connection Matrix Synthesis, J-Unitary Robustness, and Floquet Band-Edge Topology

In Self-Referential Scattering Networks (SSN), this paper provides closed-loop methodology from design--implementation--readout--falsification to theorem-level guarantees. Under trace-class calibration, establish mod-two equivalence between global half-phase (\det covering) holonomy, spectral shift, spectral flow through -1, and discriminant transversality. Compared to previous draft, this version completes verifiable details and checkable constants at five key junctures: (i) Section 3 adds brid
