- Define bridge switch (E/O switch whose new same-parity edge is a bridge in its parity subgraph) and bridge-derived level graph in the paper. Note that bridge switches preserve bipartite parity subgraphs, so every bridge-derived level graph is automatically valid. - Discover the E/O-switch relation is directed (irreversible when a switch produces a cross-parity edge); T*_9 reaches an ELG forward but no ELG reaches it, explaining why it is not derived. This rules out a simple switch-invariant characterization. - Bridge orbits are far smaller than full E/O orbits (~10^4 vs ~10^8 for some labellings), making exhaustive search feasible. Each of the 4 open duals has ~150 valid parity partitions; exhaustive bridge-orbit search per partition can decide bridge-derivability conclusively.
