Backpropagation is the computational engine of deep learning, yet its mathematical structure is typically treated as a procedural traversal of computational graphs. We present a global operator theory of the \emph{F-adjoint} framework, which reformulates the layerwise backward recursion of an $L$-depth feedforward network into a single linear system $(I-\cB)\Xs=\bG$, where $\bG$ is a source vector.
