Elementary grid commutation moves #

This file packages row and column commutations as relations between grid diagrams. Two columns are eligible for an elementary commutation when they are cyclically adjacent, their marking segments are non-interleaving, and the target diagram is obtained by swapping them. Row commutations are defined dually.

Cyclic adjacency is represented without an extra predicate: an edge of the cyclically ordered set Fin n is the pair a, finRotate n a. Requiring these endpoints to be distinct excludes the degenerate one-column identity swap. The resulting relations are symmetric because a swap is an involution and preserves non-interleaving of the swapped pair.

This is a prerequisite for TauCetiRoadmap/CombinatorialHeegaardFloer/README.md, Lane G.5, "Invariance over 𝔽₂. Grid moves = commutation + (de)stabilization": the later pentagon-counting chain maps are attached to the elementary moves defined here. The definition follows OzsvΓ‘th--Stipsicz--SzabΓ³, Grid Homology for Knots and Links, Chapter 3.

Two grid diagrams differ by one elementary column commutation.

The columns are consecutive in the cyclic order on Fin n, have non-interleaving marking segments in the source diagram, and are swapped to obtain the target diagram.
