Triality on the tripled type-D4 carrier #
The order-three symmetry of the Bourbaki-numbered D₄ diagram, TauCeti.trialityPermD4, fixes
the central node and cycles the three outer nodes, and with them the three eight-dimensional
representations V(ϖ₁), V(ϖ₃) and V(ϖ₄). On the tripled weight table it is the symmetry
TauCeti.D4Tripled.trialitySymmetry, and on the rational tripled module the coordinate
permutation TauCeti.MinusculeWeightTable.Symmetry.moduleEquiv of that symmetry intertwines the
represented positive and negative simple-root generators. Every nonzero entry of a raising or
lowering matrix on the tripled weight basis is 1, so no signs are needed: the lift permutes the
lattice basis with every scaling coefficient equal to one. This file descends that lift to the
tripled carrier through the numbered-symmetry construction on Kostant toral closures.
The resulting automorphism TauCeti.D4Tripled.trialityAutomorphism carries each numbered root
subgroup to the subgroup numbered by triality, without changing its additive parameter, and
carries the represented split torus to itself, relabelling its coordinates by the inverse of the
diagram permutation: weightTorus ≫ γ.hom = relabel σ⁻¹ ≫ weightTorus, a distinction that
matters for a permutation of order three. It has order dividing three. On matrix-valued points it
is conjugation by the permutation matrix of TauCeti.DynkinType.d4TripledTrialityPerm, and that
matrix is compatible with every change of value ring. The action on the numbered root subgroups
already determines it, since those subgroups generate the carrier.
No reductivity, maximality of the represented torus, or identification of the carrier with the
pinned simply connected group scheme of type D₄ is asserted here.

The triality automorphism of the carrier #
The triality automorphism of the tripled type-D₄ carrier, characterized on the numbered
simple-root subgroups by rootSubgroup_comp_trialityAutomorphism_hom and on the represented
weight torus by weightTorus_comp_trialityAutomorphism_hom.

Triality has exactly one realization on the carrier. An endomorphism of the carrier carrying each numbered simple-root subgroup to the one at the triality image of its node, with the same additive parameter, is the triality automorphism. The numbered root subgroups generate the carrier, so these equations leave nothing free; in particular no condition on the represented weight torus is needed.
The triality automorphism is the unique automorphism of the carrier realizing the
three-cycle of the outer D₄ nodes on the numbered simple-root subgroups.
