Every genuine first-row minor · arbitrary alternating sums · T13 partial · Constructive arithmetic

Complete signed cofactor families and alternating Laplace folds

∀M,q. ∃ family. ∀j<S(q). family[j]=SignedMinor(M,0,j)

Twenty-nine independently checked constructive theorems simultaneously encode every genuine signed first-row cofactor minor, prove exact parity-adjusted finite Laplace folds and establish uniqueness in every unrestricted finite dimension.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved. Exact original first-admission records.

Exact mathematical boundary: Historical partial components only: this chapter proves genuine signed first-row minors and unique alternating folds, with supplied cofactor values. T13 is now closed in the separate Alpha-v27 integer-linear-algebra branch with actual arbitrary determinant data, rank, and integer column spans; lattice index and normal forms are not claimed.
