For the pair node
R = Z_3[eta]/(eta^2 - 3 eta)
≅ {(a,b) in Z_3^2 : a ≡ b (mod 3)},
take the CM generator
M = B0 ⊕ R ⊕ B3.
With rows indexed by targets and columns by sources in the order (B0,R,B3), the endomorphism order is
End_R(M)
≅
[[ Z_3, Z_3, 0 ],
[ (3,0)Z_3, R, (0,3)Z_3 ],
[ 0, Z_3, Z_3 ]].
Here: - the upper-right and lower-left corners vanish because Hom(B0,B3)=Hom(B3,B0)=0 - the middle row records the two branch injections into the node - the middle column records the two quotient maps out of the node - the center entry is the node ring itself
So the full CM generator algebra is a noncommutative order whose center is exactly
Z(End_R(M)) ≅ R.
This is the order-theoretic form of the node: the quiver, the branch maps, and the center all sit inside one 3 × 3 matrix order.
