A crossover with two attachment ports per side #
Each old terminal is replaced by two ports and one implication between them. Together with its two old incidences this forms an implication chain between two equal internal copies. Consequently both ports have the old terminal's uniquely determined value. Each port has two internal incidences and room for one external incidence. The unchanged internal core comes from Lichtenstein's crossover [Lichtenstein1982, Figs. 4–5], as drawn in [Tromino2025, Fig. 8(b)].

The eight attachment ports in left/right/bottom/top geometric order, with two lanes per
side. The source variables .bTop and .bBottom retain their historical names.

Forget the lane of a boundary port.
Instances For
Choose lane zero as the representative of each old terminal.
Instances For
Replace each old boundary literal by the port at that incidence's geometric lane.
Instances For
One directed implication joins the paired ports on each side.
Instances For
Preserve the old 74 clauses with their terminal incidences separated, then add four bridges.
