The Minimal-Yield character ϕt : H → Laurent series (MCB Prop. 3.5.3, Lemma 3.5.5) #
[MCB25] §3.5.2.2
The character ϕt of MCB Prop. 3.5.3 (eq. 3.5.6) as an algebra homomorphism from the Hopf
algebra H = ConnesKreimer R (Nonplanar α) of nonplanar rooted forests to the Laurent-series ring,
in the lean t-grading model: rather than coefficients in the full algebra DM of free Merge
derivations (Def. 3.5.1), we record only the grading tᵟ. With δ = δα, the grading of the
canonical construction L(F) → F is exactly α(F) = Forest.alpha F (the leaves carry α = 0), so
ϕt(F) = t^{α(F)}.
Since α(F) ≥ 0, ϕt lands entirely in the nonpolar subring DM[[t]] = (1 − R)·DM[t⁻¹][[t]]
(MCB Lemma 3.5.5): R·ϕt(F) = 0 for every forest F. This is exactly why ϕt alone cannot
detect Sideward Merge — the intermediate-derivation character ψt (Cor. 3.5.4) and the full Birkhoff
factorization (Prop. 3.5.6) are needed to separate Internal/External from Sideward Merge.

Equations
Instances For
ϕt(F) = t^{α(F)}: the forest value is the single grading monomial at the accessible-term
count (the product of per-tree monomials collapses since α is additive).
MCB Lemma 3.5.5: ϕt is entirely nonpolar #
MCB Lemma 3.5.5: ϕt(F) always lies in the nonpolar subring — R·ϕt(F) = 0 — because the
δα-grading α(F) ≥ 0. Hence ϕt cannot detect Sideward Merge (regardless of which Merge
operations build F), motivating the intermediate-derivation character ψt.
