Root subgroup moves on the type-D spin coordinate basis #
The root subgroup at a simple root moves a coordinate vector of coroot weight -1 by a
signed multiple of its reflected coordinate vector. The negative root subgroup does the same
at weight 1. The coefficient is the parameter times an integral unit, over any commutative
ring. In particular, parameter one gives a nonzero move over every field, including
characteristic two.
These formulas transfer the polarized spin-basis calculations to the integral matrix carrier.
Together with the two parity orbits of typeDSpinReflection, they provide the root moves
needed to propagate an invariant coordinate line throughout its half-spin summand.

A signed root-generator column gives the root subgroup's displacement of the corresponding coordinate vector, at every parameter over every commutative ring.
At simple-coroot weight -1, the positive root subgroup moves a spin coordinate vector
by the reflected coordinate vector, with a fixed integral-unit sign at every parameter.
At simple-coroot weight 1, the negative root subgroup moves a spin coordinate vector
