We classify all four-state spin edge models according to their behavior under a specific group of birational symmetry transformations generated from the so-called inversion relations. This analysis uses the measure of complexity of the action of birational symetries of these lattice models, and aims at uncovering (star-triangle) solvable ones. One finds that these spin edge models have birational symmetries with a polynomial growth of the iteration calculations. We obtain an unexpected elliptic parametrization of the four-state chiral Potts model, as well as simple, and well-defined, examples of "transcendental" integrability compatible with this polynomial growth of the itertion calculations. As a byproduct we also obtain several homogeneous polynomial representation of the relative integers Z together with their multiplication.
