+ *
+ * Extracted by probing the physical substrate's IEEE-754 implementation.
+ * Every constant was derived from measurement, not from a textbook.
+ *
+ * The Born rule says P(i) = |ψ_i|². Reality computes this as:
+ *   P = re*re + im*im   (two MULs, one ADD — no FMA by default)
+ *
+ * We provide three implementations:
+ *   1. EXACT:     standard re²+im² (matches reality's rounding)
+ *   2. FAST:      bit-hack squaring (approximate, no MUL needed)
+ *   3. QUAKE:     bit-hack 1/total + Newton (fast normalization)
+ *

+ * hpc_mobius.h — The Möbius Amplitude Sheet
+ *
+ * The Devil's answer to "hold all superposition at once."
+ *
+ * The HPC graph encodes 6^N amplitudes implicitly as:
+ *   ψ(i₁,...,iₙ) = [Π_k aₖ(iₖ)] × [Π_edges w_e(iₐ, iᵦ)]
+ *
+ * But this product is computed-and-discarded for each point query.
+ * The Möbius Sheet HOLDS the full amplitude surface by maintaining
+ * per-site "dressed amplitudes" that pre-absorb entanglement from
+ * all touching edges via belief propagation message passing.
+ *
+ * Each site has two faces (the Möbius twist):
+ *   Forward:  dressed[k][v] — local amp × absorbed edge messages
+ *   Shadow:   message[k→p][v] — outgoing message to partner p
+ *
+ * The forward face of site A is defined IN TERMS OF the shadow faces
+ * of its neighbors. This self-referential loop converges to exact
+ * marginals on tree graphs and approximates on loopy graphs.
+ *
+ * KEY INSIGHT: Messages operate in the PROBABILITY domain (|·|²),
+ * not the amplitude domain. Complex phases create destructive
+ * interference feedback loops in BP. Instead:
+ *   - Messages carry marginal probability beliefs: m_{p→k}[v] ∈ ℝ⁺
+ *   - Edge factors are |w_e(u,v)|² (phase magnitude squared)
+ *   - For CZ edges: |ω^(u·v)|² = 1 for all u,v → messages = local |a|²
+ *   - Dressed amplitudes are RECONSTRUCTED from prob-domain beliefs
+ *     by re-introducing the phase structure from the graph
+ *
+ * Once converged:
+ *   marginal[k][v] = P(site_k = v)  — O(1) lookup
+ *   ψ(i₁,...,iₙ) reconstructable from sheets in O(N + E)
+ *   Surface walk enumerates all |ψ|² > τ via sheet intersection

+ * quhit_hexagram.c — The Hexagram Quhit Implementation
+ *
+ * Edge-dual of the triality quhit. Amplitudes on hexagram line segments.
+ *
+ * The H₆ transform is derived from the body-diagonal projection of the
+ * cube's face diagonals. Each hexagram line ℓₖ corresponds to specific
+ * face diagonals that project onto that line when viewed from (1,1,1).
+ *
+ * Cube vertex labels (Cubeee.html convention):
+ *   0:(-1,-1,-1)  1:(+1,-1,-1)  2:(+1,+1,-1)  3:(-1,+1,-1)
+ *   4:(-1,-1,+1)  5:(+1,-1,+1)  6:(+1,+1,+1)  7:(-1,+1,+1)
+ *
+ * Body-diagonal projection from (1,1,1), projected positions:
+ *   0,6 → center (body diagonal endpoints)
+ *   1 → (√2, 0)          ≈ right
+ *   2 → (1/√2, √(3/2))   ≈ upper-right
+ *   3 → (-1/√2, √(3/2))  ≈ upper-left
+ *   4 → (-√2, 0)          ≈ left
+ *   5 → (-1/√2, -√(3/2)) ≈ lower-left  (wasn't this wrong? No...)
+ *   ... Wait, let me use the quhit basis states directly.
+ *
+ * ── Mapping from quhit basis states to hexagram lines ──
+ *
+ * The 6 basis states |0⟩...|5⟩ map to the CMY channel structure:
+ *   C: {|0⟩, |1⟩} = ±X face pair
+ *   M: {|2⟩, |3⟩} = ±Y face pair
+ *   Y: {|4⟩, |5⟩} = ±Z face pair
+ *
+ * Each face has 2 diagonals. Under body-diagonal projection:
+ *   Face diagonals within channel k map to hexagram lines.
+ *   The specific mapping depends on which cube vertices the
+ *   face diagonals connect and how they project.
+ *
+ * The H₆ matrix encodes: for each hexagram line ℓₖ, which
+ * superposition of basis states |j⟩ contributes amplitude.
+ *
+ * ── Derivation of H₆ ──
+ *
+ * The 6 hexagram lines alternate: diameter, outer, diameter, outer, ...
+ *
+ * A DIAMETER line passes through the center. In the cube, this
+ * corresponds to two face diagonals from opposite faces of the same
+ * axis that project onto the same line through center. These combine
+ * the vesica (sum) and wave (difference) of the antipodal pair.
+ *
+ * An OUTER line connects two adjacent hexagram vertices. This
+ * corresponds to a single face diagonal from a different axis that
+ * connects the projected positions of two non-antipodal vertices.
+ *
+ * For each hexagram line ℓₖ, H₆[k][j] gives the contribution of
+ * vertex basis state |j⟩. The matrix is constructed so that:
+ *
+ *   Diameters:  ℓ₀ combines C-channel pair {|0⟩,|1⟩} antisymmetrically
+ *               ℓ₂ combines M-channel pair {|2⟩,|3⟩} antisymmetrically
+ *               ℓ₄ combines Y-channel pair {|4⟩,|5⟩} antisymmetrically
+ *
+ *   Outers:     ℓ₁ combines a cross-channel pair from Y and M
+ *               ℓ₃ combines a cross-channel pair from C and Y
+ *               ℓ₅ combines a cross-channel pair from M and C
+ *
+ * The specific coefficients ensure unitarity and encode the 120°
+ * rotational symmetry of the body-diagonal view (C→M→Y→C cycling).
+ *
+ * The eigenbasis structure: diameters are channel-internal (sum/diff
+ * within a pair), outers are channel-crossing (linking adjacent
+ * channels). This 3+3 partition mirrors the unicursal path's
+ * alternating diameter/outer structure.

+ * quhit_hexagram.h — The Hexagram Quhit
+ *
+ * A new quantum primitive: the EDGE DUAL of the triality quhit.
+ *
+ * The standard (triality) quhit stores amplitudes on 6 VERTICES of
+ * the hexagon — the computational basis states |0⟩...|5⟩. 
+ *
+ * The hexagram quhit stores amplitudes on 6 LINE SEGMENTS of the
+ * unicursal hexagram — the face diagonals of the cube projected along
+ * its body diagonal (1,1,1).
+ *
+ * The 6 hexagram lines (unicursal traversal order):
+ *
+ *   ℓ₀: diameter  E—center—D   (cyan,    C face diagonals)
+ *   ℓ₁: outer     D—C          (yellow,  Y face diagonal)
+ *   ℓ₂: diameter  C—center—F   (magenta, M face diagonals)
+ *   ℓ₃: outer     F—B          (cyan,    C face diagonal)
+ *   ℓ₄: diameter  B—center—G   (yellow,  Y face diagonals)
+ *   ℓ₅: outer     G—E          (magenta, M face diagonal)
+ *
+ * Key properties:
+ *   - Chirality is intrinsic: the unicursal path has a direction.
+ *     The two orientations correspond to the two mirror tetrahedra
+ *     inscribed in the cube.
+ *   - Δ=0 is the native ground state (hexagram states encode the
+ *     exotic S₆ automorphism structure naturally).
+ *   - The H₆ transform (vertex ↔ hexagram) is derived from the
+ *     body-diagonal projection of face diagonals — NOT the DFT₆.
+ *
+ *   Vertex model:   TrialityQuhit  (amplitudes on points)
+ *   Edge model:     HexagramQuhit  (amplitudes on paths)
+ *   Duality:        Kramers-Wannier, mediated by S₆ outer automorphism
