Transport of ray parity along isolated segment interiors #
The trace of ray parity on the interior of an isolated segment is constant when the
arrangement has even incidence. Removing the observed segment leaves its endpoint jumps
unchanged at every interior height. This gives transport without choosing a positive
distance from all the other endpoint heights. Local cancellation and its even-incidence
specialization are supplied by RayParityEven; this module applies that shared criterion
to the arrangement with the observed segment removed.
A point on a nonhorizontal segment never counts that same segment as a crossing: the horizontal ray excludes its base point.
Ray parity on the open interior of one segment is constant if no other listed segment meets that interior. The segment itself is omitted by the strict base-point convention. Endpoint jumps from other segments cancel even when their heights occur inside the observed segment's height range.
