SignedUnit(u)

Exactly the canonical signed codes 2 (+1) and 1 (-1). Its equivalence with an actual signed multiplicative inverse and the affine-equation solver are separately proved, not assumed by this two-case graph.

Conservative notation; not a theorem, primitive, or axiom.

Definition in prerequisite notation

u = 2 ∨ u = 1

Only definitions earlier in this acyclic notation graph are used here.

Hygienic expanded first-order definition
(((u)) = 2 \/ ((u)) = 1)

The unchanged native kernel never receives this surface symbol. Binder-safe expansion produces only its existing first-order syntax.
