[#R289] Forced peeling reduces the determinant to a core determinant
claim. For each forced singleton match, cofactor expansion removes one row and column, leaving det M_n equal up to sign to the residual core determinant.
1Summary
This reduction remains useful even though the residual core is frequently nonempty.
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: every forced singleton match, at any size.
