If EF is invariant under       > this integration/differentiation duality, it suggests the Vitali       > construction's rotational structure (equivalence classes under rational       > rotation mod 1) is naturally measured by a structure that is itself       > rotationally self-dual. The doubling (μ_d(V) = 2) would then reflect       > that [0,1] is "traversed twice" in completing the rotational cycle.       > On Iota-Arithmetic as Restriction       > Your insight that restricting to either addition OR multiplication       > breaks the field structure (and thus σ-additivity) is crucial.
