We study a discrete dynamical system on the three-strand braid group B3 in which generators act on an integer valued framing vector through a local slot-based transfer rule.Terminal states are pairs (P, f) consisting of a permutation P ∈ S3 and a framing vector f ∈ Z3. Under trace closure, strands belonging to the same permutation cycle form a single loop, and physical states are defined modulo cyclic relabeling of the starting point of each loop.We prove a complete classification theorem: two terminal states are physically equivalent if and only if a finite sector-dependent invariant I agrees. The invariant decomposes according to the cycle type of P into three sectors (identity, transposition, three-cycle), and every equivalence class admits a unique canonical representative computable by a constant-time algorithm. A key structural finding is that the three-cycle sector carries a discrete cyclic-ordering obstruction not reducible to symmetric polynomial invariants of the framing differences. The analytic proofs are independently verified by exhaustive BFS enumeration of 631 terminal states within word length 10.This work provides the classied-state foundation for a broader programme connecting combinatorial braid kinematics to RP3 topology and Skyrmion physics within the Topological Inversion Model (TIM).
