Exact frame-to-frame maintenance of the primitive ring network.

Consecutive trajectory frames share almost all of their bond topology. Rings are stored partitioned by their lowest-indexed member, and on a new frame only sources within a proven locality radius of a changed edge are re-enumerated: a ring's members and every path that can decide its primitivity lie within a bounded neighbourhood of its source, so a source far enough from every change keeps its rings unchanged. The output equals a full recomputation exactly, at a cost that scales with the edge churn between frames rather than with system size.
