2Authored explanation

Sun's Corollary 1.2 gives an involution \(\sigma\) on every \([n]\) such that each \(k+\sigma(k)\) belongs to \(\{2\}\cup\{T_j:j\geq2\}\). Remark 1.2 identifies order 4 as a case where the sum 2 is needed. This result supplies the reflection method and explains the exceptional behavior, though it does not state the candidate's exact one-based classification.
