A balanced sequence of short Hamiltonian kicks has zero first-order drift but retains an order-dependent commutator holonomy. For a traceless qutrit target with ordered eigenvalues, we solve the inverse Hermitian-commutator problem exactly: its minimum product Hilbert-Schmidt norm is the larger adjacent spectral gap, equivalently half the trace norm plus the absolute middle eigenvalue. This yields the exact minimum action of a balanced three-kick realization and identifies a middle-eigenvalue cost tax between 1 and 3/2. Among four equal-norm balanced qubit kicks, the forgotten-order curvature gap is at most `S^4/108`, with equality only for a regular tetrahedron. Its 24 orders generate exactly the six Pauli holonomies, so the finite twirl is depolarizing and an explicit inverse-cosine schedule realizes any depolarizing semigroup exactly at every finite step count. We then derive the diffusion limit from complete echoed, pinched physical words, obtaining an explicit `O(n^-1/2)` diamond-norm bound. Off-block pulses of size `y^(1+beta)` produce a sharp trichotomy: irrelevant for `beta>1`, additive at `beta=1`, and Zeno-projective for `0<beta<1`; a quantitative compression bound gives uniform convergence away from zero and an explicit initial-layer profile. The complete implementation has serial action proportional to `n^(3/4)`. Exact symbolic and deterministic numerical certificates accompany the manuscript.
