The pentagon map on unblocked grid homology #
The pentagon-counting map of a column turn (GridDiagram.ColumnTurn) intertwines the unblocked
differentials. It therefore induces a specified map on GH⁻, sending the class of a cycle
to the class of its pentagon image. The map is semilinear along the transposition of the
two coefficient variables. Over any commutative ring of characteristic two, for diagrams with an
odd number of link components it raises the Maslov--Alexander bigrading by the bidegree
GridDiagram.commutationBidegree of the turn, which vanishes for a column commutation. For knot
grids it is linear over R[U] and homogeneous for the Alexander grading
(GridDiagram.IsKnot.isHomogeneous_unblockedHomologyCommutationLinearMap).
The construction uses the concrete cycle quotient through unblockedHomologyIso and
Mathlib's Submodule.mapQ. It supplies the homology map itself; invertibility requires
the hexagon homotopy identities. In one direction this is recorded here: if the commutation map
Φ of a column turn followed by a commutation map Ψ back at the same columns is chain homotopic
to multiplication by a polynomial p, then ΨΦ acts on GH⁻ as p
(GridDiagram.unblockedHomologyClass_commutationMap_withTurnRow_commutationMap).

The specified map on unblocked grid homology induced by the pentagon map of a column turn, for instance that of a column commutation. It is semilinear along the renaming that exchanges the two variables of the exchanged columns.

The return composite on homology. Let Φ be the commutation map of the column turn C
and Ψ the commutation map back, turning at the same columns in row t. If ΨΦ is chain
homotopic to multiplication by a polynomial p, that is ∂H + H∂ = p + ΨΦ over a ring of
characteristic two, then ΨΦ sends the class in GH⁻(G) of every cycle z to p times that
class.

renaming the grid variables commutes with their common specialization to U.
