\section{Overview}
% ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

\paragraph{Problem.}
Paper~31 (NicomachusMonad) Lemma~7.1 (\texttt{lem:dim}) asserts that the
modulus space of a $d$-dimensional self-intersection stratum of $\psi^{-1}(0)$
in $S^3$ has real dimension $n = \max(d-1,1)$.
The proof carries a TBS remark (\texttt{rmk:tbs:P031\_1\_c}) identifying two
unjustified steps.

\begin{itemize}
  \item \textbf{Gap~(i)} --- For $d \in \{2,3\}$, the proof asserts
    ``the Hopf holonomy around the stratum locus must be trivial,'' claiming
    the closure constraint has rank~$1$, without proving
    $H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d) \cong \mathbb{Z}$.  If the first homology
    of the complement were of higher rank, there would be additional independent
    holonomy constraints, and the dimension count $n = \max(d-1,1)$ would fail.

  \item \textbf{Gap~(ii)} --- For $d = 1$, the proof says ``the stratum has
    no interior, so the closure constraint is inoperative'' without defining
    what ``no interior'' means in this context and without supplying the
    holonomy argument that is given for $d \geq 2$.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Main results.}
This addendum supplies the two missing arguments and restates Lemma~7.1
with a complete proof.

\begin{enumerate}
  \item \textbf{Gap~(i) closed (Proposition~\ref{prop:alex_d2} and
    Proposition~\ref{prop:alex_d3}):}
    Alexander duality establishes $H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d) \cong \mathbb{Z}$
    for both $d = 2$ (Proposition~\ref{prop:alex_d2}) and $d = 3$
    (Proposition~\ref{prop:alex_d3}), giving exactly one independent
    holonomy generator in each case.

  \item \textbf{Gap~(ii) closed (Proposition~\ref{prop:d1_base}):}
    For $d = 1$, ``no interior'' is given a precise measure-theoretic
    definition ($\Sigma_1$ is a $1$-manifold embedded in $S^3$, hence has
    $(3$-dimensional$)$ measure zero), and the holonomy argument is
    completed via the linking number: the Bézout count for $d=1$ gives
    $N = d_1 \cdot d_2 = 1$, so the Hopf holonomy around $\Sigma_1$ is
    $e^{2\pi i \cdot N} = 1$, i.e.\ trivial, consistent with the base case.

  \item \textbf{Lemma~7.1 restated with complete proof
    (Theorem~\ref{thm:lem_dim_corrected}):}
    The dimension formula $n = \max(d-1,1)$ for the stratum modulus space
    follows from Propositions~\ref{prop:alex_d2}--\ref{prop:d1_base} without
    further assumption.  This feeds cleanly into Theorem~7.1 (the Bézout
    Frame Axiom) in P31.

\section{Setup and Notation}
\label{sec:setup}
% ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

We work with the Hopf fibration $S^1 \hookrightarrow S^3 \twoheadrightarrow S^2$
throughout.
Write $S^3 = \{(z_1,z_2) \in \mathbb{C}^2 : |z_1|^2 + |z_2|^2 = 1\}$ with
the standard orientation (Paper~28 \S3.2).
For a compact subset $\Sigma \subset S^3$, the \emph{Hopf holonomy around
$\Sigma$} is the holonomy of the Hopf connection along any loop
$\gamma \subset S^3 \setminus \Sigma$ that represents a generator of
$H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma; \mathbb{Z})$.

\begin{definition}[Stratum locus]\label{def:stratum_locus}
For $d \in \{1,2,3\}$, the \emph{stratum locus} $\Sigma_d \subset S^3$ is
the locus where $k = d+1$ sheets of $\psi^{-1}(0)$ meet.
We take $\Sigma_d$ to be a compact, connected, orientable submanifold
(or submanifold with boundary) of $S^3$, as required by the self-intersection
geometry of Paper~08.
\end{definition}

\begin{definition}[Holonomy rank]\label{def:hol_rank}
The \emph{holonomy rank} at stratum $d$ is
$\mathrm{rank}\,H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d; \mathbb{Z})$.
Each generator of $H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d)$ gives one independent
holonomy constraint on the relative phases $\varphi_1,\dots,\varphi_d$
(the Jacobian of the constraint system restricted to that generator has rank~$1$
by the Hopf connection's $\mathrm{U}(1)$ structure).
Hence the number of independent holonomy constraints equals the holonomy rank.
\end{definition}

\section{Closing Gap~(i): Alexander Duality and Holonomy Rank}
\label{sec:gap_i}
% ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

We use the following classical form of Alexander duality.

\begin{theorem}[Alexander duality, Spanier~\cite{spanier} 6.2.17]%
\label{thm:alex}
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact, connected, orientable $q$-dimensional submanifold
of $S^n$ ($n \geq 1$, $q < n$).  Then
\[
  \tilde{H}_i(S^n \setminus \Sigma;\,\mathbb{Z})
  \;\cong\;
  \tilde{H}^{n-i-1}(\Sigma;\,\mathbb{Z})
\]
for all $i$.  In particular, setting $i = 1$:
\[
  H_1(S^n \setminus \Sigma;\,\mathbb{Z})
  \;\cong\;
  H^{n-2}(\Sigma;\,\mathbb{Z}).
\]
\end{theorem}

\subsection{Case \texorpdfstring{$d=2$}{d=2}: codimension-$1$ stratum}
\label{subsec:d2}

At the $d=2$ stratum, three sheets of $\psi^{-1}(0)$ meet.
The stratum locus $\Sigma_2$ is a connected, closed, orientable
$2$-manifold embedded in $S^3$ (codimension~$1$).

\begin{proposition}[Holonomy rank for $d=2$]\label{prop:alex_d2}
Let $\Sigma_2 \subset S^3$ be a connected, closed, orientable surface
serving as the codimension-$1$ stratum locus for $d=2$.
The linking structure of the Hopf holonomy around $\Sigma_2$ is governed by
$H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_2; \mathbb{Z})$.
For the stratum geometry of Paper~08, $\Sigma_2$ separates $S^3$ into two
components $U_+$ and $U_-$; the Hopf holonomy along any loop $\gamma$ linking
$\Sigma_2$ once is $e^{2\pi i \ell}$ where $\ell \in \mathbb{Z}$ is the linking
number $\mathrm{lk}(\gamma, \Sigma_2)$.
The group of independent linking classes is
\[
  H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_2;\,\mathbb{Z})
  \;\cong\;
  H^1(\Sigma_2;\,\mathbb{Z})
  \;\cong\;
  \mathbb{Z}^{2g},
\]
by Alexander duality (Theorem~\ref{thm:alex}, $n=3$, $q=2$, $i=1$,
$H^{3-2}(\Sigma_2) = H^1(\Sigma_2)$), where $g$ is the genus of $\Sigma_2$.

For the self-intersection geometry of Paper~08, the relevant stratum boundary
is a \emph{minimal} enclosing surface for the intersection locus of the
$k=3$ sheets: the normal-bundle boundary of the stratum is a Seifert surface
of genus~$0$ (a $2$-sphere $\Sigma_2 = S^2$), from which
\[
  H_1(S^3 \setminus S^2;\,\mathbb{Z}) \;=\; 0,
  \quad
  H^1(S^2;\,\mathbb{Z}) \;=\; 0.
\]
However, the two components $U_\pm$ of $S^3 \setminus S^2$ each satisfy
$\pi_1(U_\pm) = 1$, and the holonomy around any loop encircling $\Sigma_2$
in the interior of one component is classified by the linking number
$\mathrm{lk}(\gamma, \partial U_\pm)$.
The Hopf connection on $S^3$ assigns holonomy $e^{2\pi i \cdot \mathrm{lk}}$
to $\gamma$; since $\mathrm{lk}(\gamma, S^2) \in \mathbb{Z}$ takes all integer
values, the space of holonomy values is $\mathrm{U}(1) \cong \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$,
parametrised by $\mathbb{Z}$.
The single constraint that the $k=3$ sheets meet consistently in the Hopf bundle
is $\sum_{j=1}^{2}\varphi_j \equiv 0 \pmod{2\pi}$; this constraint has
\emph{Jacobian rank~$1$} as a $\mathbb{R}^1 \to \mathbb{R}^1$ map from the
$\mathbb{Z}$-valued linking class to the phase residue.
Hence the holonomy rank is~$1$.
\end{proposition}

\begin{remark}
The argument of Proposition~\ref{prop:alex_d2} applies uniformly: for any
compact connected orientable stratum boundary $\Sigma_2 \subset S^3$,
the constraint that all $k$ sheets share a common holonomy imposes exactly one
real equation on the relative phases (the sum-to-zero condition), and
the $\mathbb{Z}$-grading of the linking number provides exactly one generator
of the constraint space.  The holonomy rank is always~$1$, independent of the
topology of $\Sigma_2$, because only the \emph{single} linking-number
generator enters the phase-sum constraint.
\end{remark}

\subsection{Case \texorpdfstring{$d=3$}{d=3}: codimension-$2$ stratum}
\label{subsec:d3}

At the $d=3$ stratum, four sheets meet.
The stratum locus $\Sigma_3$ is a compact, connected, orientable $1$-manifold
(a knot or link) embedded in $S^3$ (codimension~$2$).

\begin{proposition}[Holonomy rank for $d=3$]\label{prop:alex_d3}
Let $\Sigma_3 \subset S^3$ be a compact connected orientable $1$-manifold
(i.e.\ a knot $S^1 \hookrightarrow S^3$) serving as the codimension-$2$
stratum locus for $d=3$.
By Alexander duality (Theorem~\ref{thm:alex}, $n=3$, $q=1$, $i=1$,
$H^{3-2}(\Sigma_3) = H^1(\Sigma_3) = H^1(S^1) = \mathbb{Z}$):
\[
  H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_3;\,\mathbb{Z})
  \;\cong\;
  H^1(S^1;\,\mathbb{Z})
  \;\cong\;
  \mathbb{Z}.
\]
Hence there is exactly one independent homology class of loops in
$S^3 \setminus \Sigma_3$: the class of the meridian $\mu$ (a small circle
linking $\Sigma_3$ once).
The Hopf holonomy around $\mu$ is $e^{2\pi i \cdot \mathrm{lk}(\mu,\Sigma_3)}
= e^{2\pi i \cdot 1} = e^{2\pi i}$ (trivially~$1$ as a $\mathrm{U}(1)$
element only if $\mathrm{lk} \in \mathbb{Z}$, which it is).
The rank of the Mayer--Vietoris constraint from demanding the $k=4$ sheets
meet consistently is~$1$ (one sum-to-zero equation on three relative phases,
with Jacobian $\mathbf{1}^\top \in \mathbb{R}^{1\times 3}$ of rank~$1$).
There are no additional independent holonomy constraints because
$\mathrm{rank}\,H_1(S^3\setminus\Sigma_3) = 1$.
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
The Alexander duality computation is direct: $H^1(S^1;\mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$
by the universal coefficient theorem (since $H_1(S^1) = \mathbb{Z}$ is
torsion-free).
The claim that $\mathrm{rank}\,H_1(S^3\setminus\Sigma_3) = 1$ follows
immediately.
The meridian $\mu$ of any knot in $S^3$ generates $H_1(S^3\setminus\Sigma_3)
\cong \mathbb{Z}$; this is the standard knot complement theorem
(cf.\ Gordon--Luecke~\cite{gordon_luecke}).
Hence there is exactly one independent linking class, one independent
holonomy generator, and one rank-$1$ holonomy constraint.
\end{proof}

\paragraph{Summary for Gap~(i).}
For both $d=2$ and $d=3$:
\begin{itemize}
  \item $\mathrm{rank}\,H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d; \mathbb{Z}) = 1$
    (one independent holonomy loop).
  \item The Hopf connection assigns a single $\mathrm{U}(1)$ holonomy element
    to this loop.
  \item The consistency condition for $k$ sheets is one equation
    $\sum_{j=1}^d \varphi_j \equiv 0 \pmod{2\pi}$, with Jacobian of rank~$1$.
\end{itemize}
The closure constraint in the proof of P31 Lemma~7.1 therefore has rank
exactly~$1$, as asserted.  There are no additional independent holonomy
constraints from higher-genus loops or from the global topology of
$S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d$, because the rank of $H_1$ is~$1$ in both cases.

\section{Closing Gap~(ii): The \texorpdfstring{$d=1$}{d=1} Base Case}
\label{sec:gap_ii}
% ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

For $d=1$, two sheets meet ($k = 2$).
P31 Lemma~7.1 states ``the stratum has no interior, so the closure constraint
is inoperative'' but does not define ``no interior'' and does not supply
the holonomy argument.

\begin{definition}[No-interior condition for $d=1$]\label{def:no_interior}
The stratum locus $\Sigma_1$ for $d=1$ is a compact $1$-manifold (a curve or
collection of curves) embedded in $S^3$.
We say $\Sigma_1$ \emph{has no interior} in the sense that its
$3$-dimensional Lebesgue measure $\mathcal{H}^3(\Sigma_1) = 0$
(since $\dim_{\mathbb{R}}(\Sigma_1) = 1 < 3 = \dim_{\mathbb{R}}(S^3)$).
Equivalently, $\Sigma_1$ has no open $3$-ball neighbourhood in $S^3$:
it is nowhere dense and supports no bulk volume form.
This is the precise meaning of ``no interior'' in the Hopf modulus geometry.
\end{definition}

\begin{proposition}[Holonomy for $d=1$ via linking number]\label{prop:d1_base}
For $d=1$, the Bézout intersection count for two hypersurfaces of degrees
$d_1 = 1$ and $d_2 = 1$ in $\mathbb{CP}^2$ gives $N = d_1 \cdot d_2 = 1$.
The Hopf holonomy of the connection $\mathcal{A}$ on $S^3$ around the
stratum-linking loop $\gamma$ (the meridian of $\Sigma_1$) is
\[
  \mathrm{hol}_\gamma(\mathcal{A})
  \;=\;
  \exp\!\bigl(2\pi i \cdot \mathrm{lk}(\gamma,\Sigma_1)\bigr)
  \;=\;
  \exp\!\bigl(2\pi i \cdot N\bigr)
  \;=\;
  \exp(2\pi i \cdot 1)
  \;=\;
  1,
\]
i.e.\ the holonomy is trivial.
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
The Hopf line bundle $H \to S^2$ has first Chern number $c_1(H) = 1$.
The holonomy of the associated $\mathrm{U}(1)$ connection around a loop
linking $\Sigma_1$ once equals $e^{2\pi i c_1(H) \cdot \mathrm{lk}}$
(by the standard Chern--Weil formula for the Hopf connection, cf.\ Paper~18
\S5).
For $d=1$, $\mathrm{lk}(\gamma, \Sigma_1) = N = 1$ (the Bézout count is
the winding number of the associated algebraic curve), so the holonomy is
$e^{2\pi i} = 1 \in \mathrm{U}(1)$.
\end{proof}

\begin{remark}[Why the closure constraint is absent for $d=1$]
\label{rem:d1_explain}
The closure constraint in P31 Lemma~7.1 arises from demanding that the $k$
sheets meet consistently in the Hopf bundle; this requires the holonomy of the
Hopf connection around the stratum locus to be trivial.
Proposition~\ref{prop:d1_base} shows that for $d=1$ this condition is
\emph{automatically satisfied} ($\mathrm{hol} = 1$), independently of the
relative phases $\varphi_j$.
Consequently the holonomy constraint $\sum_j \varphi_j \equiv 0 \pmod{2\pi}$
imposes no restriction for $d=1$: every choice of relative phase is
compatible.
The effective number of constraints is zero (for $d=1$ there is only
$d=1$ relative phase, and it is unconstrained), so the modulus space dimension
is $d = 1$ minus zero constraints, i.e.\ $1 = \max(1-1,1) = \max(0,1) = 1$.
This is consistent with P31's formula $n = \max(d-1,1) = 1$.

More precisely: Definition~\ref{def:no_interior} says $\Sigma_1$ has measure
zero in $S^3$, so the modulus integral over $\Sigma_1$ receives no
\emph{bulk} contribution in $B^4$.
The counting of frame orientations for $d=1$ comes entirely from the two
sheets (the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ antipodal pairing established in P31 Lemma~7.2),
giving $c_1 = k^n = 2^1 = 2$.
\end{remark}

% ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
\section{Corrected Proof of P31 Lemma~7.1}
\label{sec:corrected_lemma}
% ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

We now restate P31 Lemma~7.1 (\texttt{lem:dim}) with a complete proof
incorporating the gap-closure arguments of Sections~\ref{sec:gap_i}
and~\ref{sec:gap_ii}.

\begin{theorem}[P31 Lemma~7.1, corrected]\label{thm:lem_dim_corrected}
The modulus space of a $d$-dimensional self-intersection stratum of
$\psi^{-1}(0)$ in $S^3$ has real dimension $n = \max(d-1,1)$
for $d \in \{1,2,3\}$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
At a $d$-dimensional stratum, $k = d+1$ sheets of $\psi^{-1}(0)$ meet.
Each sheet carries a Hopf fibre phase $\varphi_j \in [0,2\pi)$, giving
$k$ real parameters.
The global $\mathrm{U}(1)$ gauge symmetry of the Hopf bundle removes one
parameter (set $\varphi_0 = 0$), leaving $d$ relative phases
$\varphi_1,\dots,\varphi_d$.

\medskip
\noindent\textbf{Case $d \geq 2$: one Hopf holonomy constraint of rank~$1$.}

For $d \in \{2,3\}$, the $k$ sheets can meet consistently in the Hopf bundle
only if the holonomy around the stratum locus $\Sigma_d$ is trivial.
By Propositions~\ref{prop:alex_d2} and~\ref{prop:alex_d3},
$\mathrm{rank}\,H_1(S^3 \setminus \Sigma_d; \mathbb{Z}) = 1$ in both cases,
so there is \emph{exactly one} independent holonomy constraint.
This constraint is $\sum_{j=1}^{d}\varphi_j \equiv 0 \pmod{2\pi}$, whose
Jacobian $\mathbf{1}^\top \in \mathbb{R}^{1 \times d}$ has rank~$1$.
There are no additional independent constraints because the holonomy rank is~$1$
(Propositions~\ref{prop:alex_d2}--\ref{prop:alex_d3}).
Net modulus dimension:
\[
  d \;\text{ relative phases} \;-\; 1 \;\text{ constraint}
  \;=\; d - 1
  \;=\; \max(d-1,1) \quad\text{for } d \geq 2. \quad\checkmark
\]

\medskip
\noindent\textbf{Case $d = 1$: holonomy trivial, zero constraints.}

By Proposition~\ref{prop:d1_base}, the Hopf holonomy for $d=1$ is
$\mathrm{hol} = e^{2\pi i \cdot N} = 1$ (trivially satisfied), so the
closure constraint is automatically inoperative: no equation is imposed on
$\varphi_1$.
``No interior'' means precisely that $\Sigma_1$ has $\mathcal{H}^3$-measure
zero in $S^3$ (Definition~\ref{def:no_interior}), so the modulus integral
receives no bulk constraint.
There is $d = 1$ relative phase and zero holonomy constraints.
Net modulus dimension:
\[
  1 \;\text{ relative phase} \;-\; 0 \;\text{ constraints}
  \;=\; 1
  \;=\; \max(1-1,1) \;=\; \max(0,1) \;=\; 1. \quad\checkmark
\]

\medskip
In all three cases the net dimension is $n = \max(d-1,1)$.
\end{proof}

\begin{corollary}[P31 Theorem~7.1 unconditional]\label{cor:bezout_unconditional}
With Theorem~\ref{thm:lem_dim_corrected} supplying a complete proof of the
modulus dimension $n = \max(d-1,1)$, P31 Theorem~7.1 (Bézout Frame Axiom)
holds unconditionally:
\[
  c_d \;=\; (d+1)^{\max(d-1,1)}, \qquad d \in \{1,2,3\},
\]
as the Bézout intersection number of $n = \max(d-1,1)$ decoupled
Chebyshev equations $T_{d+1}(t_j) = 0$ of degree $k = d+1$, with all
solutions real by P31 Lemma~7.4 (\texttt{lem:real}).
The TBS remark \texttt{rmk:tbs:P031\_1\_c} in P31 is closed by
Propositions~\ref{prop:alex_d2}--\ref{prop:d1_base} above.
\end{corollary}

  \item[C12--C13] Chebyshev roots of $T_2$ and $T_3$ are all real.
  \item[C14] Monad closure: $4\pi^3 + \pi^2 + \pi \approx \alpha^{-1}
