Trace every original equation

The correspondence register maps all 75 principal numbers and 26 lettered variants to their recovered operations. It preserves the original pagination and the exact scope of each correspondence.

B. Complete original-equation correspondence

The register covers all 75 principal equation numbers and all 26 printed lettered variants, 101 entries in total. Printed page numbers refer to the original article. A present equation may recover several source forms by the tensor or variation identities proved in the adjoining text; the table is an operation map, not a claim that each historical equation is independent. Unnumbered discrepancies are recorded separately in Appendix A. The machine-readable version is supplied in registers/equation_correspondence.csv.
