All-Optical Steering of Competing Topological Pathways in ZrTe <sub>5</sub>

response, revealing competing symmetry-preserving and symmetry-breaking pathways. Building on these insights, we propose a dual-color control scheme that enables directional phase selection. These results establish a mode-resolved framework for ultrafast navigation of topological phase space, verifiable via ultrafast transport or diffraction techniques.
