Conclusion

The symmetry was never broken. It was folded.

Local antimatter exists. It is produced and annihilated constantly via pair production — the σ-involution operating transiently on the manifold. This is standard physics.

The net asymmetry — the surplus of matter over antimatter in the visible universe — arises from topological segregation. The visible universe is the ℒ-sector (the 1-pole, the white of the Eye).

The interior of every event horizon is the 𝒫-sector (the 0-pole, the black of the Eye). Theorem 1 derives this identification: the event horizon is the σ-boundary, and σ̂ = CPT there.

The door stays open because ε has no σ-image (Proposition 1, unconditional). The break is the one entry in the ledger that cannot be cancelled. The universe exists because the break exists.

There is something rather than nothing because the splinter has no mirror.

The mechanism sidesteps the Sakharov conditions because it is topological, not dynamical.

No baryon number violation occurs globally — the total baryon number of the universe is B(ε) ≈ 0. The asymmetry is apparent, not fundamental.

What appears as excess matter is the visible half of a balanced ledger.

You have held a ledger in your hands. You know what balance means. This is that — at the scale of the universe. One column is the sky above you.

The other column is behind every event horizon. The books balance to within one entry: ε. The crack that will not close. The reason there is something rather than nothing.
