Parabolic fibers are aperiodic in characteristic zero #
Finite periodicity of a point does not imply finite order of the ambient rotation matrix. The
opening therefore needs a point-level argument at normalized traces 2 and -2. The explicit
parabolic-line translations give that argument in characteristic zero.
