Choosing J bits makes enlarged matrix nonsingular
Chooses bits so the enlarged deleted matrix is nonsingular
extends nonsingularity to both supports
Statement (paper)
After adding , the deleted matrix on the enlarged support has block equal to , and the bits for can be chosen so that this enlarged deleted matrix is nonsingular over . Indeed, varying (together with its reverse) toggles exactly the -th -diagonal entry, so the determinant is a multilinear polynomial in these bits with coefficient on the full product, and hence it does not vanish at every point of the Boolean cube. The chosen bits do not affect the smaller matrix, so the deleted matrices are nonsingular on both supports.
In plain English
On the enlarged support (with added), the deleted matrix has block equal to , and the bits for can be chosen so that it is nonsingular over . These choices do not affect the smaller matrix, so the deleted matrices are nonsingular on both supports.
Why it's here
This extends the base case (nonsingular on the smaller support) to the support containing . Flipping the bit toggles only the -th -diagonal entry, so the determinant is multilinear in these bits with top coefficient and cannot vanish on the whole Boolean cube. With nonsingularity on both supports, the earlier reductions give the kernel condition and the matrix target, leaving only the prime-realization step to carry out these choices.
Classified routine:
A direct linear-algebra step over F_2: the determinant is multilinear in the J-diagonal bits with top coefficient det M_0 = 1 (from the previous claim), so it is not identically zero on the Boolean cube. This is a standard argument and not a new idea of the paper.
