Concrete example first

For a toy case with traces raw and clean:

  1. define ((T,J)),
  2. attach two finite fibers and a reindexing map,
  3. choose (\sigma) and (\Delta),
  4. compute fixed fibers,
  5. iterate (UG) until closure,
  6. optionally restrict to one sub-site as a cell.

That sequence is the practical GFRTU workflow.

Formal workflow

Step 1: Specify the trace site

Define a small category (T) and Grothendieck topology (J).

Step 2: Attach recognition fibers

Provide finite Heyting algebras (H_t), reindexing maps, and dynamic maps (\sigma_t,\Delta_t) compatible with transport.

Step 3: Build the fixed layer

Compute (H_t^*={a\mid \sigma_t(a)=a=\Delta_t(a)}) and verify these fixed fibers form a subsheaf.

Step 4: Run generative closure

Define (UG) on (P(\mathrm{Ob}(\mathbf{Sh}(T,J)))), iterate from (\emptyset), and take the least fixed point.

Step 5: Localize into cells (optional)

For a full subcategory (U\subseteq T), form (\mathbf{Sh}(U,J|_U)) to study local behavior.

Validation checklist

  • Site axioms hold.
  • Fiber functoriality holds.
  • Dynamic operators satisfy required properties.
  • Fixed fibers are reindexing-stable.
  • Closure iteration reaches a fixed point.
