Abstract
En 中文
• Topology reshapes transients without changing the final equilibrium. • Winding number sectors emerge in circular midpoint opinion dynamics. • Branch-crossings govern transitions between topological sectors. • Sector locking produces long-lived trapping near twisted states. • Exact contraction is proved in an adaptive co-moving frame.
