Generation of the positive type-D root vectors #
The positive roots of type Dₙ are εᵢ - εⱼ and εᵢ + εⱼ for i < j. This file
shows directly on the split orthogonal matrix carrier that their standard root vectors belong to
the Lie subalgebra generated by the numbered positive simple-root vectors.
For the difference roots, successive brackets concatenate intervals along the chain. For the sum
roots, the fork generator first produces every sum root involving the last coordinate; a generated
difference root then moves the second coordinate from the last index to any j with
i < j < n - 1. The imported matrix bracket identities record the signs used in these recurrences.
