Spacetime Structure from Dζ: Dimension, Signature, and Poincaré Group #
The 4D Lorentzian spacetime I4 = Fin 1 ⊕ Fin 3 with signature (1,3) is determined by the algebraic structure of Dζ. The symmetry group is O(3,1) = LorentzGroup 3 (PhysLean, with Group instance). ISO(3,1) = ℝ⁴ ⋊ O(3,1) is constructed as a semidirect product.
Lorentz invariance of the Minkowski bilinear form
Semidirect product ISO(3,1) = ℝ⁴ ⋊ O(3,1) #
O(3,1) acts on ℝ⁴ by matrix-vector multiplication. The Poincaré group is the semidirect product of translations ℝ⁴ and Lorentz transformations O(3,1).
Each Lorentz transformation Λ gives an additive automorphism of ℝ⁴

Dζ determines spacetime structure and Poincaré group. Part A: Dζ channel algebra (AF_coeff_eq, Φ_S_rank_three) → 1+3, signature (1,3). Part B: I4 geometry justified by Part A.
Gauge groups and Poincaré group use independent degrees of freedom. Gauge: derivDefect factorization ambiguity (ℂ-linearity of Fζ). Spacetime: eigenvalue structure of Dζ (Lorentz invariance of η). Separation: gauge acts on ℂⁿ (star=conj≠id), spacetime acts on ℝⁿ (star=id).
