Abstract: We ask whether transposition changes the stationary heavy tail of the co-moving recursion $\mathbf x_{t+1}=Q_tBQ_t^\top\mathbf x_t+Q_t\boldsymbol\eta_t$ in $d=3$. The model has independent Haar rotations, Gaussian body-frame noise with covariance $\Sigma$, and an explicit positive metric $\mathsf g$. The tail index $\alpha_\star$ depends only on singular values, so $\alpha_\star(B)=\alpha_\star(B^\top)$. The structure theorem and polar-twist mechanism are unconditional. In the $\mathsf g=I$ chart, write $B=S+\widehat{\boldsymbol\omega}$: $\Delta_6(B)=-16\det[\boldsymbol\omega,S\boldsymbol\omega,S^2\boldsymbol\omega]$. Then $B\not\sim_{O(3)}B^\top$, $\Delta_6(B)\ne0$, $\operatorname{rank}[\boldsymbol\omega,S\boldsymbol\omega,S^2\boldsymbol\omega]=3$, and controllability of $(S,\boldsymbol\omega)$ are equivalent; intrinsic operator chirality is a Kalman rank condition. Unlike the exponent, the tail level need not be transpose-invariant. The exact polar-twist identity rotates the anisotropic noise frame under mirroring, showing how level asymmetry can enter. A nonzero asymmetry is established only conditionally and numerically, not by a closed-form example: under Assumption R on the SPD chart, $\Delta\log C=\langle A,G\rangle+o(\|A\|)$ as $A\to0$, with $G=2H\circ[\Sigma,\partial_\Sigma\log C]$; finite-threshold simulations are consistent with this first-order law. Strict-Haar averaging makes every lagged second-order cross-moment transpose-blind; a fourth radial moment retains an odd channel. No finite scalar-weighted radial-moment combination uniformly cancels the even quadratic form while retaining the odd covector.
