Chebyshev-type recurrence for $\sin$: $\sin((n + 2) \theta) = 2 \cos\theta \sin((n + 1)\theta) - \sin(n\theta)$, the standard three-term linear recurrence satisfied by $U_n(\cos\theta) = \sin((n+1)\theta)/\sin\theta$.
For $m(s, t) \ne 0$ the bilinear form value is the negative cosine $\mathtt{formVal}\,M\,s\,t = -\cos(\pi / m(s, t))$.
Closed-form formulas for the $s$- and $t$-coordinates of the dihedral iterate $\mathtt{wordSigma}$ of $e_s$ along an even-length alternating word when $m(s, t)$ is finite. Both coordinates are ratios of sines built from $\theta = \pi / m(s, t)$.
Odd-length analogue of $\mathtt{dihedral\_coords\_even\_finite}$: closed forms for the coordinates of $\mathtt{wordSigma}\,(t :: \text{altWord})\,(e_s)$ in terms of sines at multiples of $\theta = \pi / m(s, t)$.
In the finite-order dihedral case ($m(s,t)$ finite), the iterate $\mathtt{wordSigma}\,M\,(\mathtt{altWordEven}\,s\,t\,k)\,(e_s)$ is a positive root as long as $2k < m(s, t)$.
Odd-length version of $\mathtt{dihedral\_pos\_even\_finite}$: prepending a $t$ keeps the iterate positive as long as $2k + 1 < m(s, t)$.
Combined dihedral positivity (even length): the alternating iterate of $e_s$ stays positive as long as $2k < m(s, t)$ in the finite case, or unconditionally in the infinite case $m(s, t) = 0$.
Combined dihedral positivity (odd length): the alternating iterate $\mathtt{wordSigma}\,M\,(t :: \text{altWord})\,(e_s)$ stays positive provided $2k + 1 < m(s, t)$, with the infinite case $m(s, t) = 0$ unconditional.
