• Abstract: Spatially graded nonreciprocity can move skin weight away from a boundary, but it does not generally preserve a real commensurate spectrum or analytically controlled dynamics. We study a finite open Krawtchouk network with oppositely graded directed hoppings. For a broad intermediate range of asymmetries, their local imaginary gauge field changes sign in the bulk, and its accumulated coordinate generates a positive diagonal similarity map whose normalized squared entries form a biased-binomial envelope. The same map converts the open chain into the spin-rotation generator \(2gJ_x\), so the focus and equally spaced spectrum follow from one grading. In this focusing regime, exact right, left, and biorthogonal eigenvectors show that the envelope width and participation number both scale as \(\sqrt N\), identifying a subextensive interior focus. In the physical node basis, spin rotation produces perfect mirror inversion with direction-selective amplification and attenuation whose gains are mutually inverse. The directional Green functions share their poles, while their residues differ by the same similarity ratio. Closing the chain exposes a gauge-invariant imaginary flux, and either exact one-way limit yields an exceptional point of order \(N\). Onsite disorder preserves the directional resolvent ratio, whereas independent hopping disorder breaks the clean analytic Krawtchouk map and degrades commensurability and transfer. The model therefore provides an exactly solvable finite-network framework linking localization geometry and eigenvector nonorthogonality to commensurate spectra and node-resolved directional response.

  A major complication in comparison to flat spaces is that it is unclear in which alignment a convolution kernel should be applied on a manifold. We argue that the particular choice of coordinatization should not affect a network's inference -- it should be coordinate independent. A simultaneous demand for coordinate independence and weight sharing is shown to result in a requirement on the network to be equivariant.
