A stated candidate class or identification has been ruled out under explicit assumptions. checks assumptions, certificates, counterexamples and stopping rules.
Exact assertion
Multiplying every vector by minus one changes its sign but preserves the orientation of an even-dimensional frame. Handedness instead changes under a reflection with negative determinant. This is why a central -I holonomy cannot simply be called chirality.
A specified candidate class fails under explicit assumptions. The conclusion does not automatically extend to mechanisms outside that class.
Chapter “The projective loop”, section “Central sign versus handedness”. This is assertion 1 of 2 in that section.
Check the assumptions defining the ruled-out candidate class; the no-go does not automatically extend beyond that class.
checks assumptions, certificates, counterexamples and stopping rules.
Break one of the no-go assumptions in a controlled construction, or show that the alleged obstruction does not follow within its stated class.
