Abstract
We construct a source–readout realization of the Wilson Yang–Mills construction within
Jeremy Rodgers’s Shadow Theory. The framework separates an admitted native support, its
literal preparation, the realized physical histories and the readouts that recover configurations,
effective quantities, field labels and operator correlations. Reflective mathematics makes the re-
lation between these layers explicit: reverse sections establish coverage, fibres identify redundant
or discarded information, operation identities establish compatibility, and residuals quantify de-
partures from exact recovery.
The paper proves normalized finite-measure recovery and classifies the frame fibres; trans-
ports activity domains and budgets; recovers the stationary vertical discrepancy from its residual;
and establishes the compatibility of coefficient readers, physical equation quotients, Hilbert-
space reconstruction, phases and operator products. These interfaces are developed through
the complete quadratic, nonlinear, marked-integration, calibration, continuum and stress calcu-
lations. One compatible Wilson family carries full fixed-period mesh limits followed by the per-
mitted refined volume limit. Its selected centered trace has the asymptotic r8 log2(1/r)GΘ(r) →
3 dimR g/π4, with the stated finite mass-shell and Maxwell comparison exclusions. No positive
mass gap is asserted.
OpenAI’s underlying Lean construction is presented through the supplied expanded mathe-
matical translation. The contribution here is the explicit source–readout construction and its
recovery proofs, with all substantive Yang–Mills derivations retained. The given gauge group,
faithful representation, four-dimensional Wilson law and analytic hypotheses remain the physical
inputs to this conditional realization.

Introduction
The Wilson Yang–Mills construction joins several kinds of mathematics: finite group-valued config-
urations and probability measures, effective actions and stationary variables, local coefficient spaces
and equation quotients, continuum correlations, Hilbert-space fields and spectral readers. Recover-
ing its conclusion requires these objects and operations to belong to one compatible construction.
Equality of final formulas alone does not establish that differentiation, integration, calibration,
quotienting and limiting operations preserve the information needed by the next stage.
This paper addresses that problem using Shadow Theory’s source–readout architecture and
Source Lift protocol, originated by Jeremy Rodgers [3]. Rodgers directed the research through
that framework and its worked examples; AI assisted its execution.
A Source Lift constructs
an admitted native support, its literal preparation and a realized sector containing the physical
histories and auxiliary data. Typed readouts then recover the objects of the target derivation. Their
sections establish reverse coverage, their fibres identify the distinctions removed, and their operation
identities establish how the derivation passes through the realization. Reflective mathematics is the
explicit accounting for these maps, domains, residuals and recovery claims. Section 2 introduces
this framework before applying it.
The application is OpenAI’s underlying Lean Yang–Mills construction, available here through its
supplied expanded mathematical translation [2]. The companion paper, A Wilson Yang–Mills Con-
struction: A Natural-Language Mathematical Exposition, presents that construction on its own [1].
Both papers are included in the same Zenodo release, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24173681, and each
contains its essential mathematics. The companion emphasizes the construction itself. This paper
develops the source–readout realization, the reflective analysis of its interfaces and the recovery
proofs throughout the same derivation.
Mathematical contribution.
The finite realization has an explicit section, a complete frame-
fibre description and an exactly normalized measure pushforward. The family of histories is sup-
ported by an admitted fan, with a groupoid equivalence on each finite realized leaf. The reconstruc-
tion then proves frame-blindness of flags and budgets, ordered-derivative and activity-norm recovery,
and quantitative recovery of an eliminated vertical discrepancy from the stationary residual. At the
field stage it gives the curl/radial section and its gauge fibre, the calibrated coefficient reader, and
the physical quotient defined by all spectator readings, with inclusions and derivatives descending
to that quotient. The Hilbert-space, phase, product and collision-extension interfaces retain their
actual domains and choices. These results explain precisely which operations are recovered, rather
than treating every reduction as the same kind of inverse.
The full Yang–Mills calculations remain in the paper. They use Wilson’s lattice formulation [5],
reflection positivity and reconstruction [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16], renormalization and cluster meth-
ods [17, 18, 19], and the conventional one-loop coefficient [20, 21]. The given physical inputs and
the exact public conclusion are stated in Section 4; the assumption and dependency registers collect
their scope. The earlier Einstein source–readout reconstruction [4] provides a model of exposition:
define the primitives and maps, derive the operation, prove coverage, and identify the residual or
information loss. Its gravitational results are not Yang–Mills premises.
Organization and reading conventions.
The framework, public conclusion and analytic con-
ventions fix the objects, target and normalizations. Native admission, the finite realization and
the interface table then introduce the common witness. The construction follows dependency or-
der: quadratic kernels; nonlinear geometry and budgets; marked integration and reset; stationary
graphs, calibrated histories and convergence; labels, shell charges and physical detection; the full

inner continuum limit; phase and Wightman reconstruction; separated and nested products; colli-
sion extensions; Gaussian comparison; and the stress, trace and equation-sensor calculations. The
common-family assembly collects their witnesses. Complete transport proofs and the assumption,
amendment and correspondence registers are included as mathematical appendices.
At each stage the derivation is followed by its source–readout formulation: the realized record,
reader, section or quotient, operation compatibility and recovery claim, with the relevant error or
choice retained. Original equation tags are kept throughout. Input-line ranges refer to the preserved
expanded source and support the complete coverage register. These references locate provenance;
the local derivations supply the mathematics.

Source–readout and reflective mathematics: the objects and the
task
The framework distinguishes the mathematical input from its native antecedent.
The supplied
mathematical source is the expanded translation of OpenAI’s underlying Lean Yang–Mills construc-
tion. The native source support is an admitted object in Rodgers’s source–readout architecture: it
carries a dependency order and marked finite supports. The physical lattice, group, fields and law
enter in the realization over that support. This separation lets the paper construct and compare
the actual readout operations while retaining the provenance of their physical assumptions.
In ordinary terms, a readout is a specified way of obtaining a mathematical object from a richer
record. A lattice configuration can be read from links written in independently chosen endpoint
frames. An effective action can be read from a function of retained and auxiliary variables by
evaluating on its stationary graph. A physical field label can be read from a coefficient vector after
identifying vectors that every allowed spectator test fails to distinguish. These are different maps,
with different fibres. The paper proves their recovery statements on their respective domains; it
does not treat them as interchangeable instances of an unrestricted inverse.
The term reflective mathematics means mathematics of the readout objects together with ex-
plicit accounting for their source–readout relations. In Rodgers’s Source Lift protocol this includes
the maps and domains, admission conditions, distinctions removed by a map, residuals, available
reconstruction routes and the status of each claim. Here those items are made concrete by the
following definitions and calculations. Reflection is this source-aware accounting within the math-
ematics. It is not an additional dynamical law, and it does not assert that a theory selects its own
physical inputs [3].
This use of reflective is distinct from reflection positivity, the positive-pairing property of Eu-
clidean correlations used later to construct a Hilbert space.
Reflection positivity is one of the
specific mathematical operations accounted for here; it is not the definition of reflective mathe-
matics. Likewise, matching status profiles does not establish an equivalence: an equivalence must
preserve the specified objects and operations through actual maps.
2.1
Four layers that must remain distinct
The forward architecture used here has the form
X ∈Sadm 7−→Y = Jreal(X, m) 7−→(z, δ) ∈KYM(Y )
π
−−→O.
(RF1)
The arrows do not all have the same meaning. Admission places X in the specified native class.
Preparation restricts its inherited source data to the finite support of a marked token m. Realization
is a relation KYM, because a single prepared support can carry many raw histories and discrepancies.
2


## Source page 6

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
The last arrow is the particular readout currently being studied, defined on its stated part of that
raw domain.
More precisely, a source support contains vertices with a dependency preorder, deposition-
potential tokens with a distinguished marked subsort, finite marked supports, lineage, source in-
variants and intrinsic boundary data. Every marked support contains a strict dependency pair. A
strong map preserves these data and is injective on each marked support. The admitted class is
the least isomorphism-saturated class containing the specified finite witnesses and closed under the
prescribed strong images, finite attachments along source faces, presentation-preserving retracts
and stabilizing directed colimits. Stabilization means that every finite cell, support, strict pair and
inherited datum is eventually unchanged. This is the admission notion used in Proposition 6.1 and
the fan construction in Section 8; arbitrary graphs are not admitted merely by being called sources.
The literal preparation remembers the ambient support as well as the chosen marked occurrence:
Y = (X, m, Sm, ⪯m, lm, Invm, Bndm),
Sm = SuppX(m).
(RF2)
All restricted data are inherited from X. This finite tuple is not the physical lattice. In particular,
the strict pair in Sm is not a pair of physical events, and the ambient dependency order is not the
scale order or Euclidean time of the Yang–Mills construction.
The raw sector has type
KYM(Y ) ⊆Oraw
YM × DYM.
(RF3)
Here z ∈Oraw
YM retains the group and faithful representation, oriented lattice, cutoffand period,
links and frames, action, couplings, local functions, auxiliary variables, calibration choices and
later comparison witnesses. The discrepancy column δ ∈DYM records failures of the equations or
comparisons relevant at that stage. Its components may have different types: a group element, a
vector, a distribution tested on a specified test space, or an error measured in an explicitly weighted
norm. No addition of unlike discrepancies is intended. Off-shell histories and nonzero discrepancies
belong to the raw record before any stationary, equation-null or limiting restriction is imposed.
When two stages are compared, they must map into one declared comparison space. For an
interface e : s →t write
δe = de(Lezs, Rezt).
(RF4)
The maps Le, Re include the required coordinate, scale and unit conversions. The comparison de is
subtraction only when its arguments belong to an appropriate common linear space. Formula (RF4)
prevents comparing two expressions in incompatible gauges, norms, phases or regulators merely
because their symbols resemble one another.
2.2
Readout, section, fibre and admissible comparison
Let π : Z →Q be one readout on a declared domain. Its fibre over q is π−1(q): all realized records
giving that same readout. A reconstruction section ι : Q0 →Z on a stated target class satisfies
πι = idQ0.
(RF5)
Thus every target in Q0 is covered.
This identity alone does not imply ιπ = idZ: a chosen
representative need not recover the original raw representative. The second identity holds only for
an actual inverse, or after a proved restriction or quotient. Existence of a section on one class
proves no coverage outside that class.

For example, on one finite lattice let V be its vertices and E one stored orientation of its bonds.
With e : x →y, the frame realization is
Z = GV × GE,
π(r, A)e = r−1
x Aery,
σ(U) = (1, U).
(RF6)
Then πσ(U) = U for every U ∈GE. If two pairs have the same readout, the unique frame change
taking one to the other is kx = r′
xr−1
x , with A′
e = kxAek−1
y . Consequently this readout forgets
precisely the redundant endpoint frames, once the lattice and other tags are fixed. Its full proof,
its physical gauge action and its normalized measure are given in Section 7.
This example also gives a useful check on the scope of the explanation. For a path γ : x →y,
cancellation of the intermediate frames gives π(r, A)γ = r−1
x Aγry. The trace of a closed holonomy,
and hence the Wilson action, is unchanged. For a gauge-invariant observable F, F ◦π(r, A) = F(A).
On such observables the additional frame is an identity encoding, not a new physical mechanism.
The later stationary, coefficient, equation and limit readers supply the other substantive recovery
questions of the paper.
Allowed gauge and presentation comparisons can be retained as arrows rather than suppressed.
A recovery witness for an object O is then a tuple (X, Y, z, φ), with φ : π(z) ≃O an allowed compar-
ison. The lift groupoid consists of these witnesses and comparisons compatible with φ. Section 8
proves that, on the chosen finite frame realization, this groupoid is nonempty and contractible: two
witnesses have exactly one compatible arrow. This is uniqueness within that realized branch, up
to its specified comparisons. It is not a classification of every admitted source that might realize
the same physical theory.
2.3
Recovering operations, rather than only objects
The target includes more than a set of configurations. Its hypotheses, boundary and preparation
data, allowed inputs, laws, symmetry actions, observables and sequence of proof operations must
be fixed as well. At an individual step let
Dj : Qin × Uj −→Qout
denote the target operation, with its actual domain understood. A realized operation DZ
j recovers
it when
πout
 DZ
j (z, u)
 = Dj
 πin(z), u
.
(RF7)
The same u, hypotheses and domain are required on both sides. Where the identity is conditional
or approximate, retain its defect in a common comparison space instead of writing (RF7) without
qualification. Limits require their own convergence argument; a finite commuting diagram does not
justify interchanging an integral, derivative or limit.
Lemma 2.1 (Composition and the criterion for descent). Suppose the operations in a finite de-
pendency graph satisfy (RF7) and cover the inputs and hypotheses used by their consumers. Their
composites are recovered in their stated order. For any readout q : A →B and required output
f : A →C, a map  ̄f : im q →C with f =  ̄fq exists exactly when f is constant on each fibre of q. It
is then unique on im q. An operation descends to the readout only when its equal-readout relation
is preserved by that operation for the same admitted auxiliary inputs.
Proof. Order the graph so that every producer precedes its consumers. Substitute (RF7) at the
first operation, then at each successive operation; coverage permits each substitution on the domain
needed by the next step. This proves composition by induction. If f =  ̄fq, equality of q values
4


## Source page 8

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

implies equality of f values. Conversely set  ̄f(q(a)) = f(a); fibre constancy makes this independent
of the representative a. The same argument applied to the required output of an operation proves
the last assertion. This is a set-level argument; continuity or differentiability of  ̄f needs an additional
topological or analytic proof.
There are two concrete uses of this criterion throughout the construction. First, an activity
is not its particular atom presentation.
The blocking maps must give the same activity when
equivalent presentations are used; their analytic and Lipschitz estimates must then hold in the
activity norm, not in an unrelated norm on presentations. Second, the physical coefficient quotient
must be stable under inclusions and differentiation. It is insufficient merely to declare a vector
invisible to one test and then differentiate it. The calibrated equation image and the complete
spectator family establish the required descent in Subsection 18.9.
Variation has the same requirement at the tangent level. Differentiating (RF6), with kx =  ̇rxr−1
x ,
gives
 ̇Ue = r−1
x (  ̇Ae −kxAe + Aeky)ry.
(RF8)
Every target tangent he is covered by choosing  ̇Ae = rxher−1
y +kxAe−Aeky. The terms involving the
frame rates are essential when the frames vary. Likewise, a background-dependent fluctuation chart
needs its actual compensating coordinate change, Jacobian and covariance ratio. The protected-
variable construction in Section 15.5 supplies these data. An equality of field values alone would
not recover the differentiated integral.
2.4
What is retained, what is removed, and what is selected
The reflective record distinguishes several mathematically different situations. A redescription fibre
consists of presentations of the same retained object, as in the frame example. An observational
quotient identifies records indistinguishable by a specified family of readers. A stationary restric-
tion selects a solution of an auxiliary equation. A controlled comparison retains a nonzero error.
A selection retains a complement, calibration, phase or extraction witness that the argument is
permitted to choose. None is automatically the same as another.
For a partial nonlinear readout, write
Eq(π) = {(z, z′) : z, z′ ∈dom π, π(z) = π(z′)}.
(RF9)
This is an equivalence relation on the admitted domain. Points outside that domain are a separate
record of non-admission, not elements of a linear kernel. A linear kernel is appropriate only for the
linear maps for which it is actually defined. Fixed coarse bins similarly determine an equivalence
relation; pairwise closeness below a tolerance need not be transitive. No comparison resolution is
changed after observing a discrepancy.
For stationary elimination the relevant objects are particularly explicit.
In its purchased
corridor, the supplied score f(x, v) has retained coordinate x, vertical coordinate v, residual
S(x, v) = Dvf(x, v) and a unique analytic graph v = g(x). The readout and section are
q(x, v) = x,
ιst(x) = (x, g(x)),
qιst = id.
(RF10)
The raw vertical coordinate is not reconstructed by x alone.
Retaining the residual gives the
quantitative estimate
∥v −g(x)∥2 ≤
2
mgap
∥S(x, v)∥2,
(RF11)
5


## Source page 9

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
where mgap > 0 denotes the local counting-gap parameter called m in Theorem 14.5; it is unrelated
to the size of the faithful matrix representation. The theorem also supplies the period-independent
maximum-norm bound with its weighted counting constants. The chain rule on the stationary
graph gives Dx(f ◦ιst) = Dxf|v=g(x), because Dvf = 0 there.
Thus the equation selects the
section and controls the off-shell discrepancy. It is not a bijection from the entire raw corridor
to retained coordinates, and no physical particle mass gap is involved in this finite-dimensional
Hessian estimate.
At the coefficient stage let Ed be the finite-dimensional coefficient space and let Nd be the
subspace annihilated by the complete separated spectator readers at degree horizon d. The physical
space is Fd = Ed/Nd. Its reader recovers precisely the information visible to those tests. The
construction proves the calibrated equation-image identification and operation compatibility needed
by this quotient; it does not recover an arbitrary original coefficient representative from its class.
Similarly the radial reconstruction in Theorem 16.1 recovers a potential from a closed homogeneous
curvature coefficient on the radial slice, while its unrestricted fibre is the linearized gradient freedom.
Here the equation and the gauge fibre are distinct: the free Maxwell equation further restricts the
curvature space after curl and radial reconstruction have been defined.
At the Hilbert-space stage, reflection positivity removes the null word space. Equality of the
positive pairings makes the realized and target quotients isometric; dense range then gives a uni-
tary after completion (Theorem C.1). The information retained is the physical word state and
the operators on their common word domain, not a preferred pre-null word representative. The
phase reader subsequently evaluates the same compressed algebra element at a character. Averages
over characters recover the unselected hierarchy, but an average does not reconstruct a specified
individual phase without the retained phase data.
2.5
One family, one endpoint, and the scope of reflection
Every interface in this paper belongs to one compatible realized family. The same calendar, cal-
ibration recipe, Wilson family and permitted common refinement must survive the passage from
finite insertions to continuum fields. In particular, with RN,p(t) a tested lattice moment, the public
statement has the order
rp(t) = lim
N→∞RN,p(t),
lim
k→∞rp(q(k))(t) = S(t).
(RF12)
The inner limit is full at each suitable fixed period. The outer limit uses the allowed refinement
of an arbitrary increasing period sequence. An auxiliary mesh extraction used to construct other
data is not a replacement for the full inner limit. The two-limit argument and the identification of
auxiliary tested limits are supplied in the continuum chapter.
The interacting-to-Gaussian comparison has a different scope. A station can be chosen so that
its geometric radius equals a requested radius; the finite interacting and Gaussian moments still
differ by the stated comparison error. In the trace argument the comparison construction covers
a subsequence of every sequence of radii tending to zero, on the same physical table and selected
phase. Positivity gives a monotone Laplace reader, and the two-sided radius sandwich promotes
those comparisons to the full limit
lim
r↓0 r8 log2(1/r)GΘ(r) = 3 dimR g
π4
.
(RF13)
The universal subsequence property and the monotonicity argument, proved in Subsection 24.2,
are essential; convergence on one favourable sequence would not prove this statement. The exact

outcome is a recovered short-distance asymptotic with the supplied comparison-class exclusions. It
supplies no positive lower bound on the energy spectrum above the vacuum.
The contribution of the reflective organization can now be stated precisely. It identifies which
mathematical object a formula reads, whether a reverse section covers the next step, which operation
descends, and which discrepancy or choice must survive a reduction. Its claims are proved by the
actual maps and estimates, not by assigning a status word. The gauge group, dimension, Wilson
action, physical normalization and analytic assumptions remain the supplied realization inputs
except for the particular dependencies derived within the construction. Alternative realizations
can be placed over the same native support; its admission therefore does not select those inputs.
The remaining sections implement this framework through the entire supplied derivation.

The physical group and faithful representation, lattice dimension, Wilson law, preparation and
analytic conditions are the inputs to the realized sector. The public conclusion is recovered with its
original hypotheses, witnesses and order of limits: the full mesh limit at each suitable fixed period
precedes the permitted refined volume limit. Native admission and physical realization remain
distinct layers, as developed in Section 2.1.
The derivations are retained with their original equation tags. The explicit formula amendments,
typography clarifications and local recovery corrections are documented with their supporting cal-

The preserved source remains unchanged.

Let G ⊆U(m) be closed in its given faithful representation. Its real Lie algebra is exactly the
matrices X with exp(tX) ∈G for every real t, and is assumed nonabelian and simple: every real
linear subspace contained in it and stable under commutators with it is either zero or the whole

Its token insertions IN,p,v,x are continuous, gauge invariant and local on a fixed finite offset stencil
for each token v, uniformly in N, p, x.
A finite set of integer offsets depending only on v con-
trols each insertion at every N, p, x: agreement of configurations on edges whose endpoints belong
to the translated offset set implies equality of the insertions. Its positive coupling slope obeys
βN,p/ log(h−1
N ) →s > 0 uniformly in p.
For every strictly increasing period index sequence p(k) there is a strictly increasing refinement
q(k) and a single hierarchy on p(q(k)). Its graded finite-dimensional complex normed spaces Fd
inject into, and jointly cover, the field-label space of one Wightman theory; tokens project onto their
disjoint union. A compact metric character space carries a full-support Borel probability measure
and a selected character. The separated correlations Sχ
n and unselected Sn are smooth away from
collisions, permutation invariant, continuous in the character and satisfy Sn =
R Sχ
n dμ(χ).
For every smooth compactly supported collision-free test t and finite token word, the lattice
smeared moment is the source’s h4n

At each suitable fixed period it has a full N →∞limit rp. Along the refined periods, rp converges
to the unselected tested correlation. Suitability means that the centered open period box contains
the test support, and holds eventually along the refined sequence. The full inner limit is retained
before the outer subsequence limit.
The selected theory has normalized vacuum Ωand a common dense invariant domain equal
to the span of finite smeared field words on Ω. Fields are complex linear in labels and Schwartz
tests and continuous in the test on each domain vector. They satisfy the smeared adjoint identity,
spacelike commutativity and proper orthochronous Poincare covariance. Translations are strongly
continuous and unitary, with joint momentum projection measure in the closed forward cone. The
invariant vacuum is unique up to scalar, every nonzero label gives a nonzero smeared operator, and
at least one field acts nontrivially. The public symmetry coordinates cover all proper orthochronous
affine Poincaré transformations. Strictly ordered imaginary-time tube values recover selected Eu-
clidean moments; product-Schwartz smeared boundary limits recover vacuum Wightman moments.

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

The assertion is uniform in all phases and includes the unselected hierarchy; its threshold may
depend on the fixed words and stated parameters.

It cannot agree at every sufficiently small radius with a finite complex linear combination of finite
products of the specified mass-shell integrals.
Each factor integrates E(p)t−1P(p)e−rE(p)/2 on

mass2 + |p|2, mass ≥0, t is a nonnegative integer and P is continuous and
positively homogeneous of nonnegative integer degree. This is the stated comparison class, not an
exclusion of every generalized free theory. The supplied proof chooses blocking penalty b = 1 and
projects the single compatible witness family through its common refinement.
Scope of the stated conclusion.
The supplied construction proves more than the public state-
ment records: it also supplies stress Ward identities, nested expansions and contact extensions,
developed on its stronger common witnesses. These are not additional assumptions and not addi-
tional clauses of the public theorem. The reconstruction follows this division. The recovery target
of the whole paper is the conclusion stated in this section; the further results are lifted where they
are constructed and are recorded as such in the claim-status register (Section H). No positive mass
gap is asserted in the supplied conclusion, and none is asserted anywhere in this paper.

Inherited analytic conventions
A positive-plane plaquette i < j uses the ordered Wilson product in the public statement. All
lattices are four dimensional, with cover Z4 and period-n lattice (Z/nZ)4. A positive link (x, i)
joins x to x + ei; reverse reading takes its inverse. Signed coordinate permutations retain this
convention. Distance is the maximum centered-coordinate distance. A support is a finite site set,
and its internal links have both endpoints in it.
The physical Lie-algebra inner product and chord are
⟨X, Y ⟩g = −m−1 Re tr(XY ),
chord(g) = ∥g −1∥F/√m.
Fix the source’s orthonormal real color basis. Matrix Frobenius norm is √m times color norm. The
inner product is positive on the skew-Hermitian algebra and conjugation invariant. Inversion and
conjugation preserve the chord, and the triangle bound is chord(gh) ≤chord(g) + chord(h). The
color projection of (g −g−1)/2 is the source’s Lie-algebra curvature readout. These normalizations
are kept in the quadratic action, the coupling slope and the trace calculation.
At scale i, the spacing is ai > 0, the odd integer block ratio Li = ai/ai+1 ≥3, and ti = log(a−1
i ),
so ti+1 −ti = log Li. Block bounds and coupling-entry delays are chosen before cutoffand physical
period. The reference clock is
bβi =  ̄β + sti,
s = 11CA
24π2 ,
CA = −
1
dim g
X
α
tr(ad Tα)2 > 0.
Represented couplings retain their distinct coordinates and explicit comparisons with this clock.
The radius-B halo of X is the union of its radius-B lattice balls. The cover number covB(X)
is the least number of such balls whose union is connected by unit lattice steps and contains X;
their centers need not belong to X. Periodic wrapping is treated by that same connected-union
definition.

For a fixed stage ratio L, retain
βF (x, L) = x + s log L,
B(x) = ⌈(log x)2⌉,
temp(x) = x−1/2e(log log x)2.
Rate a means that for every b > a, eventually |f(x)| ≤βF (x, L)b. Thresholds may depend on the
fixed stage and ratio but not the period. Rate zero allows subpower growth and does not assert
boundedness. The fine threshold is fiery(x) = temp(βF (x, L)). Finite sums preserve the larger rate,
products add rates, and a positive exponent gap absorbs fixed multiplicities and subpower factors.
Later scale-path exponents retain their separately specified paths.
Every local weighted bound retains derivative order, allowed directions and exponential support
weight.
Countable sums are controlled absolutely, equivalently by a common bound on finite
partial sums of the nonnegative majorant. This convention permits countable dictionaries without
assuming a finite number of terms. Terms such as a bill, a payment or a paid bound in the source
denote these explicit inequalities, not additional probabilistic assumptions. The lift carries these
conventions as realized analytic data; conjugation of the finite frames preserves the color inner
product, while arbitrary componentwise boxes still require their explicit coordinate transport.

Notation and the roles of recurring symbols
The construction uses several local alphabets. The following register fixes their roles; later local
uses are qualified by their section and indices. In particular, a local parameter called a mass or a
gap need not be a spectral gap of the reconstructed physical theory.
Notation
Meaning and convention
X, Y, KYM(Y )
Native admitted support, literal preparation, and raw realized sector.
Physical data occur in the third object, not in the source signature.
π, σ, ι
A readout and its specified sections. The finite frame section is σ(U) =
(1, U).
Other sections are named for their actual domains; none is a
global inverse of every readout.
G ⊆U(m), g
The given closed matrix group in its faithful representation, its matrix
size m, and its simple nonabelian real Lie algebra. The hypothesis does
not add connectedness.
Ue, Ae, rx
Physical link, raw framed link and endpoint frame, Ue = r−1
x Aery for
e : x →y. A reversed link is read by inversion.
N, p, i
Mesh cutoffindex, period index and scale level. The full N →∞limit
is taken first at each suitable fixed p; the outer period limit may use the
stated common refinement.
hN, Lp, dN
Physical mesh hN = d−1
N , physical integer period Lp and positive denom-
inator dN. The lattice side is LpdN.
ai, Li, ti
Scale spacing, block ratio Li = ai/ai+1 and logarithmic scale ti =
log(a−1
i ). Some retained calendar passages call this last clock τi; it is
the same scale clock there. Li is not the physical period Lp.
βN,p,i, bβi
Actual calibrated action coefficient and reference clock bβi =  ̄β + sti.
Their difference is estimated, not set to zero.
s, b0, CA
The computed logarithmic slope s = 2b0 = 11CA/(24π2). Later occur-
rences of s as a positive radius are local scale variables, not this slope.

Notation
Meaning and convention
gi, gW , gX
Regulator coupling gi = β−1/2
N,p,i and the Wilson and measured position
couplings used in the final comparison. Their asymptotic identification
is proved; it is not a notation convention.
SW , S(x, v)
Wilson action and stationary residual, respectively. The latter is the
vertical derivative of the local score and is not an action. The unadorned
S in the predictor Fourier identities is yet another locally defined symbol.
C, P
Covariances, precision/comparison matrices or coefficient maps accord-
ing to their declared types. In a Gaussian change of variables C0 and CV
denote distinct base and varied covariances. An auxiliary nonsymmetric
inverse is not itself a covariance.
Ed, Nd, Fd
Degree-d coefficient space, null subspace for all separated spectator tests,
and physical quotient Fd = Ed/Nd. Inclusions and derivatives on these
quotients are constructed and proved compatible.
deg, |a|
Engineering degree of a label and total engineering degree |a|
=
P
i deg(ai) of a cluster. Polynomial position degree and field count are
separately specified in the radial-jet chapter.
Sn, Sχ
n, μph
Unselected and character-dependent separated correlations, and the full-
support phase measure, so Sn =
R Sχ
n dμph(χ). The source often writes
this measure as μ; it is distinct from the finite Wilson laws.
Ω, D
Selected vacuum and common invariant word domain. The native prepa-
ration subscript in RealPrepΩis a source convention, not a claim that a
vacuum has already been derived.
Θ, GΘ, E(r)
Centered degree-four physical trace label, its selected Euclidean two-
point function, and the positive-time Laplace reader identified with it in
the spectral argument.
AG, cG
The full trace amplitude is AG = 3 dimR g/π4. Other local scalar or color
projection constants called cG retain their local definitions.
Terms such as bill, payment, price and purchase denote the explicitly stated inequalities and
the order in which their constants and thresholds are chosen. A calendar is the common sequence
of scales, stage assignments and entry thresholds. A beacon is a specified finite reference view used
to read a local coefficient, and a path book retains the path-series and insertion data of a chosen
history. These words do not supply extra hypotheses beyond their mathematical definitions. Their
exact weights, derivative orders and choices remain in the corresponding sections.

Native admission, literal preparation and the realized sector
The pre-sectoral source signature consists of a dependency preorder on source vertices, deposition-
potential tokens, a marked subsort, finite supports, lineage, invariant data and intrinsic boundary
data. A marked support contains a strict dependency pair. Strong maps preserve these structures
and are injective on marked supports. No vertex, token or dependency is by definition a spacetime
point, gauge variable or coupling.
Proposition 6.1 (An admitted antecedent). The walking marked dependency X⋆, with vertices
0 ≺1 and one inherited marked token m⋆supported on {0, 1}, is admitted by the initial witness
11

clause of the source-admission construction. Its literal preparation is
Y⋆= Jreal(X⋆, m⋆) = (X⋆, m⋆, Sm⋆, ⪯m⋆, lm⋆, Invm⋆, Bndm⋆).
This supplies a native antecedent for the realization below without introducing a physical label into
its source signature.
Proof. The walking marked dependency is one of the specified initial witnesses.
Its support is
finite and nonempty; the displayed pair is strict, and its lineage, invariant and boundary data are
inherited from that witness. The least isomorphism-saturated admission closure contains every
initial witness, hence contains X⋆.
Restricting the inherited data to its marked support gives
precisely the literal preparation tuple.
Neither this admission step nor restriction supplies any
physical coordinate or law.
The realized Wilson sector is a relation
KYM(Y⋆) ⊆Oraw
YM × DYM.
A raw tuple retains the supplied group and representation, lattice and orientation, cutoffand period,
coupling, frames and links, local functions, supports and all subsequent auxiliary construction data.
The discrepancy column retains equation and comparison residuals, including nonzero residuals.
Thus admission is not defined by requiring a successful final quantum theory. The supplied con-
struction specifies the physical law and proves its consequences; the present lift proves recovery of
that construction on this realized branch. A single marked occurrence supports this whole realized
tuple. It is not a map from the two abstract vertices onto every physical lattice endpoint.
For a target configuration O, a recovery witness consists of this antecedent, its literal prepara-
tion, a realized history z, and an allowed comparison isomorphism φ : π(z) ≃O. The corresponding
lift groupoid is
Lift(O) = E≃
YM
×h
Comp≃
YM
{O}.
Here the arrows and retained data are those of the specified realized branch. The explicit section
below proves nonempty recovery fibres for every finite link configuration. It does not classify every
possible native antecedent of the same target.
Every later observable and limit uses the same
realized history and its declared refinements; successful outputs from incompatible histories are not
combined.
7
Finite-lattice realization and exact recovery
Let G be the source’s compact gauge group and let (V, E) be one of its finite oriented lattices,
with one stored orientation for each unoriented bond. Write U = GE. Introduce the redundant
realization
Z = GV × GE,
π(r, A)e = r−1
x Aery
(e : x →y),
σ(U) = (1, U).
For reverse orientations set A ̄e = A−1
e
and U ̄e = U−1
e . All lattice, cutoffand representation tags
are retained with these tuples.
Theorem 7.1 (Complete frame fibre and section). The map π is onto and πσ = id. Its fibres are
exactly the orbits of the free frame action
k · (r, A) = (kr, (kxAek−1
y )e),
k ∈GV .
Consequently Z/GV is canonically identified with U, with inverse represented by σ.
12

Proof. Substitution gives πσ(U) = U and π(k · (r, A)) = π(r, A).
If π(r, A) = π(r′, A′), put
kx = r′
xr−1
x . The equality of link readouts gives A′
e = r′
xr−1
x Aery(r′
y)−1 = kxAek−1
y , so the two
points lie in the same orbit. The equation kr = r forces k = 1, proving freeness. These formulas
also prove the inverse identities, not merely a choice of representative for a restricted class of
links.
For a path γ : x →y, cancellation of every intermediate frame gives
Uγ = r−1
x Aγry.
In particular a closed plaquette has conjugate holonomy, and its represented trace and Wilson
action agree exactly. The frame action above is distinct from the physical gauge action on readouts.
The latter can be lifted by rx 7→rxg−1
x
with A fixed, giving Ue 7→gxUeg−1
y .
Theorem 7.2 (Normalized measure recovery). Let SW denote the supplied finite Wilson action
and dν normalized Haar measure. The lattice action and invariant group measure use the classical
Wilson and Haar constructions [5, 6]. The probability law
deμ(r, A) = Z−1
W e−SW (A) Y
x∈V
dν(rx)
Y
e∈E
dν(Ae)
has π∗eμ = μW . Every integrable target insertion F therefore satisfies
R F ◦π deμ =
R F dμW .
Proof. At fixed r, change each stored link by Ae = rxUer−1
y . Bi-invariance of normalized Haar
measure preserves each link factor. The path identity makes SW (A) = SW (U). Integrating the
remaining independent frame factors gives one. This proves both the partition normalization and
the integral identity; no unnormalized gauge volume is introduced. The statement extends from
nonnegative measurable functions by monotone convergence and to integrable complex insertions
by their real and imaginary parts.
8
The source support of the realized family, its lift groupoid and
its interfaces
The preceding two sections give the lift of one finite lattice: an admitted antecedent (Proposi-
tion 6.1), a redundant realization, its readout and its section (Theorems 7.1 and 7.2). The supplied
construction, however, is not one lattice. It is a countable family of finite histories, indexed by
a cutoff, a period and a scale level, together with comparisons between them, auxiliary reference
volumes, coefficient spaces of field labels, an imported free comparison theory and several successive
limits. This section develops the source-side structure that is needed to carry that family, and states
what that structure does and does not determine. It has four parts: the admitted support; the lift
groupoid of a single leaf; the sectors and interfaces of the supplied construction, with the status of
each discrepancy; and the separation of what follows from the source side from what is supplied as
realization data. Nothing in this section is used as a hypothesis by the supplied derivations that
follow; it is the frame in which their source–readout formulations are stated.
8.1
A fan of marked dependencies
Let I be a nonempty countable set. The fan ΦI has vertices {r}∪{la : a ∈I}, dependency preorder
generated by r ≺la for every a, and one marked token ma for each a ∈I, with support {r, la}. The
lineage, invariant and intrinsic boundary data of ma are those of the walking marked dependency

X⋆, transported along the map ca : X⋆→ΦI, ca(0) = r, ca(1) = la. For a subset F ⊆I write ΦF
for the corresponding subfan.
Proposition 8.1 (Admission of the fan). For every countable I the fan ΦI is admitted. More
precisely:
1. for finite F, ΦF is obtained from |F| copies of X⋆by successive attachments along the root
face {0}, and is admitted;
2. for F ⊆F ′ the inclusion ΦF →ΦF ′ is a strong map, and ΦI is the directed colimit of the ΦF
over finite F ⊆I; this colimit is stabilizing;
3. distinct leaves are incomparable: for a ̸= b neither la ⪯lb nor lb ⪯la.
Proof. The admission construction of [3] is the least isomorphism-saturated class containing the
initial witnesses, among them X⋆, and closed under the specified finite attachments along source
faces, presentation-preserving retracts and stabilizing directed colimits. The root {0} of X⋆is a
source face: it is predecessor-closed, and it is lineage- and boundary-closed because the marked
token is not supported in it and the intrinsic boundary is empty. (1) Attaching a further copy of
X⋆to ΦF along the identification of its root with r is a pushout along that face. The attaching
map is strong and reflects marks, since no marked support lies in the face. The pushout adds one
vertex, one strict pair and one marked token, and leaves every existing support, strict pair and
lineage datum unchanged; the candidate conditions (finite nonempty supports each containing a
strict pair, well-typed inherited data) therefore hold in ΦF∪{a}. Induction on |F| gives admission.
(2) An inclusion of subfans preserves the preorder, the marking, the supports with their strict pairs
and the inherited data, and is injective; it is therefore strong. Every finite set of vertices and tokens
of ΦI lies in some ΦF with F finite, and its preorder, supports and inherited data are the same in
every larger subfan; this is the stabilization condition. (3) The preorder is generated by the pairs
r ≺la, and neither a pushout along the root nor the colimit adds a relation between leaves.
This is the same admission that supports the family of prepared paths in the gravitational
reconstruction [4]; only the index set and the realized sector differ. The literal preparation of a leaf
is
Ya = Jreal(ΦI, ma) ∼= Y⋆,
the preparation of Proposition 6.1, by restriction along ca.
Proposition 8.2 (What the support determines).
1. If |I| ≥2, the strong automorphisms of ΦI are exactly the maps fixing r and permuting the
leaves, with ma 7→mσ(a); thus Aut(ΦI) ∼= Sym(I).
2. The fold map φ : ΦI →X⋆, φ(r) = 0, φ(la) = 1, φ(ma) = m⋆, is strong, and φca = id for
every a.
3. Every finite family of marked tokens of ΦI lies in a finite admitted subfan.
Proof. (1) A strong automorphism preserves the preorder, hence fixes the unique vertex that lies
strictly below at least two others, and permutes the remaining vertices. It preserves supports, so
it sends ma to the token supported on {r, lσ(a)}. Conversely each permutation of I defines such
a map, and it preserves the inherited data because these are transported from the same X⋆along
the maps ca. (2) φ preserves the preorder and the strict pairs r ≺la 7→0 ≺1, carries each support
bijectively onto {0, 1}, so is injective on marked supports, and preserves the inherited data by their
definition. (3) is Proposition 8.1(2).

The three statements have direct consequences for the reconstruction. By (1), nothing on the
source side distinguishes one leaf from another. Any assignment of cutoffs, periods or scale levels to
leaves, any order among them and any relation between two leaves is therefore realization data. By
(2), the single-cell presentation of Proposition 6.1, in which one marked occurrence supports the
whole realized tuple, is the image of the fan presentation under a strong map; the two presentations
carry the same realized record, and every statement of the preceding sections applies leaf by leaf.
By (3), every estimate of the supplied construction, which always concerns finitely many histories
at a time, is a statement over an admitted finite support, and a limit is a readout of a net of realized
data over the colimit; it is not a new source object.
8.2
The lift groupoid of one leaf
Fix one finite lattice (V, E), connected as a graph, with Z = GV × GE, U = GE and π, σ as in
Theorem 7.1. Two groups act on Z: the frame group GV by k · (r, A) = (kr, (kxAek−1
y )e), and
the lifted gauge group GV by (r, A) · h = ((rxh−1
x )x, A). The two actions commute. Let E be the
action groupoid of GV
frame × GV
gauge on Z, and Comp the action groupoid of the gauge group on
U, (h · U)e = hxUeh−1
y . These are the groupoids of realized histories and of allowed comparison
isomorphisms on this branch.
Theorem 8.3 (The realization is an equivalence of groupoids). The assignment z 7→π(z), (k, h) 7→
h is a functor Π : E →Comp, and it is an equivalence: it is surjective on objects, full and faithful.
Consequently
1. for every U ∈U the lift groupoid Lift(U) = E ×h
Comp {U} is nonempty and contractible: any
two recovery witnesses (z, φ), (z′, φ′) of U are related by exactly one arrow of E compatible
with φ, φ′;
2. for z = (r, A) the automorphism group of z in E is
AutE(z) = {(k, h) : kxAek−1
y
= Ae, hx = r−1
x kxrx} ∼= StabGV (π(z)),
and for any base vertex x0 evaluation h 7→hx0 identifies StabGV (U) with the centralizer in G
of the holonomy group of U at x0.
Proof. For z = (r, A) and (k, h) one computes π(k · z · h)e = (kxrxh−1
x )−1kxAek−1
y (kyryh−1
y ) =
hx r−1
x Aery h−1
y
= (h·π(z))e, so Π is a functor. It is surjective on objects because πσ = id. Fullness:
let h · π(z) = π(z′). Then z · h and z′ have the same readout, so by Theorem 7.1 there is k with
k · (z · h) = z′, and (k, h) is an arrow z →z′ over h. Faithfulness: if (k, h) and (k′, h) are arrows
z →z′, then k · (z · h) = k′ · (z · h), and freeness of the frame action gives k = k′. An equivalence of
groupoids has contractible homotopy fibres, which is (1): an object of Lift(U) is a pair (z, φ) with
φ a gauge transformation carrying π(z) to U, and an arrow (z, φ) →(z′, φ′) is an arrow (k, h) of E
with φ′h = φ; here h = φ′−1φ is forced and then k exists and is unique by fullness and faithfulness.
(2) An arrow (k, h) fixes z = (r, A) exactly when kxrxh−1
x
= rx and kxAek−1
y
= Ae; the first equation
gives hx = r−1
x kxrx, and then hxπ(z)eh−1
y
= r−1
x kxAek−1
y ry = π(z)e, so h ∈Stab(π(z)); conversely
each such h determines kx = rxhxr−1
x , which fixes A. Finally, if h stabilizes U then hy = U−1
γ hx0Uγ
for every path γ : x0 →y, so h is determined by hx0, and applying this to closed paths shows
that hx0 commutes with every holonomy at x0; conversely, for g in that centralizer the formula
hy = U−1
γ gUγ is independent of the path and defines a stabilizing gauge transformation.
The theorem sharpens the statement, made after Proposition 6.1, that the recovery fibres are
nonempty: on this realized branch a recovery witness is unique up to unique isomorphism, and
15

the realization neither adds nor removes symmetry; the reducible configurations, with nontrivial
stabilizers, are exactly as reducible upstairs as downstairs. It does not classify other native an-
tecedents of the same target; that question is addressed in the last subsection. The signed lattice
permutations may be adjoined to both groupoids, since they act compatibly, πρZ = ρπ (Section 9);
the statement and its proof are unchanged.
Corollary 8.4 (The fibre law). Under the law eμ of Theorem 7.2 the frame r and the readout π(r, A)
are independent, r has law ν⊗V and π(r, A) has law μW . For bounded measurable Φ on Z,

Proof. This is the change of variables Ae = rxUer−1

in the proof of Theorem 7.2, applied to a general
integrand: at fixed r it preserves the product Haar measure and carries e−SW (A) to e−SW (U), so the
joint law of (r, U) is the product ν⊗V ⊗μW .
A consequence must be stated plainly. For a gauge-invariant function F one has F ◦π(r, A) =
F(A): the lift of F is F itself evaluated on the raw links, and the frame is an independent spectator.
On gauge-invariant quantities the frame realization is therefore an identity encoding. It carries real
content only where the supplied construction uses objects that are not gauge invariant (charts,
axial gauges, predictors, tree slices, potentials), and there the covariance identities of the tangent
chapter are what is used. The substantive source–readout structure of the construction does not
lie in the frame fibre. It lies in the interfaces listed next, whose fibres are not torsors of a symmetry
group and whose descent statements are theorems of the supplied construction.
8.3
Sectors, interfaces and discrepancies of the supplied construction
A realized family over the fan consists of: an injective labelling λ of the leaves by the index set of
the construction; for each leaf a a raw datum za in a sector over Ya, with its discrepancy column;
and, for each interface e between sectors s and t, maps Le, Re into a common comparison space
and the retained discrepancy
δe = de(Lezs, Rezt).
An interface is exact if δe = 0 identically, controlled if δe is bounded in a declared norm on a declared
regime, and selected if it involves a choice (of a subsequence, a complement or a representative)
that is retained as a witness. The index set of the supplied construction consists of the triples
(N, p, i) with cutoffindex N, period index p and scale level 0 ≤i ≤N, together with labels for the
reference tori of the beacons and for the free comparison theory. The numbers attached to a label
(lattice side, block length, clock value, stage) are read from the one calendar c of Theorem 14.16.
The sectors are the following.
(S1) Finite Wilson history at (N, p): z = (r, A) ∈ZN,p with the law eμ; readout π.
(S2) Represented state at (N, p, i): the tuple Q of Definition 14.19, with readers β(Q), v(Q), the
layout and the evaluated density.
(S3) Stationary corridor of a blocking step: pairs (x, v) of retained and vertical coordinates with
the residual S(x, v) (Section 14).
(S4) Reference views: the folded reference tori of the beacons and of the reference chart.

Two structural conditions of the method are visible in the table. First, all rows are attached
to one calendar and, in the limits, to one composite refinement: estimates obtained on different
calendars or along incompatible subsequences are never combined. The order of the limits is part
of the realized record, with the full limit in the cutofftaken at each fixed period before the limit
in the period along the refined sequence. Second, the rows fall into the method’s exactness classes
without exception being made for convenience: I1–I3, I5 and I12 are exact; I4 and I6 are on-shell
or calibrated restrictions with the off-shell data retained; I15, I17 and I18 are quotient equivalences
established by congruence statements; I7, I8, I13, I14 and I16 are controlled approximations with
their regimes stated; and I9–I11 record deliberate or unavoidable loss.

What follows from the source side and what is supplied
The division is the following, and it is used without further comment in the formulations below.
From the source side. The admitted fan provides a support with countably many marked cells
(Proposition 8.1); no relation between distinct cells and no preferred labelling (Proposition 8.2);
and the reduction of every finite statement to an admitted finite support. On each leaf the realized
branch has contractible lift groupoids (Theorem 8.3). These are structural facts. They contain no
dynamics.
Supplied as realization data. Everything that makes the family a Yang–Mills construction is
chosen in the realized sector: the compact group G ⊆U(m) with simple nonabelian Lie algebra;
the four-dimensional periodic lattices and the Wilson action; the blocking maps and the stationary
corridors; the calendar c; the calibration value  ̄β and the blocking penalty one; the label algebra
and the free comparison theory; and every estimate. The labelling of leaves by (N, p, i), and hence
the notions of finer, larger and coarser, are of this kind.
Derived within the realization. Some quantities are neither chosen nor source-side: they are
computed from the realization data by the supplied construction. The slope s = 11CA/(24π2) is the
coefficient of the logarithm in the explicit annular integral (DR5); the amplitude AG = 3 dimR g/π4
is a Wick contraction (Theorem 24.1); the one-dimensionality of the translation Ward kernel of
the free comparison theory (FS10) and the O(4) covariance of the hierarchy (Theorem 19.3) are
consequences.
Not obtained. No selection theorem is proved, and none is claimed. The method’s test for a
source-derived premise is to look for inequivalent raw realizations over the same admitted support
and the same literal preparations. Here they exist in abundance: replacing the group, the dimension
of the lattice, or the Wilson action by another gauge-invariant local action gives a different realized
sector over the same fan ΦI, with the same lift-groupoid theorem. Admission therefore does not
select the gauge group, the dimension, the action or the coupling history. The recovery proved in
this paper is conditional in exactly this sense: given the supplied construction as realization data,
its objects, operations, limits and conclusions are recovered through the readouts, with the stated
exactness classes. This distinguishes an explicit mathematical recovery theorem from selection of
the physical realization.
9
Activity domains, ordered derivatives and absolute budgets
The supplied construction fixes, before any estimate is used, what an activity estimate means (tags
(AB1)–(AB12)). Every later regular, anchored, early or forced-hit budget refers to these objects.
This section gives those definitions in full and proves that each is carried, without loss, by the frame
realization π : Z = GV × GE →U = GE of Theorem 7.1.
9.1
Local activity domains, derivatives and absolute budgets
We fix the meaning of all activity estimates before using them. At a fixed finite torus Λn = (Z/nZ)4,
let Cn = GΛn×{0,1,2,3} be the configuration space and An = gΛn×{0,1,2,3} its real space of left-link
directions. A function is local on a site set X if its value depends only on links with both endpoints
in X. Gauge invariance refers to Ux,i 7→kxUx,ik−1
x+ei.
For a plaquette p, write V (p) for its four visited vertices and Up for its holonomy. At threshold
0 < θ ≤1 define
Fθ(U) = {x : ∃p, x ∈V (p), chord(Up) > θ},
Hθ(X) = {U : X ∩Fθ(U) = ∅}.
(AB1)
19

Thus equality with the threshold is healthy. Each flag event is open, because it is a finite union
of strict inequalities for continuous plaquette functions. Each healthy domain is closed and Borel.
The mask is the literal function 1Hθ(X)F; its boundary is not differentiated in any regular budget.
A coefficient which also reads the final flags in X is required to agree whenever both the links
internal to X and X ∩Fθ(U) agree. Its actual link read set is bounded by
Xins = X ∪
[
p:V (p)∩X̸=∅
V (p).
(AB2)
Agreement on internal links of this enlarged set fixes every plaquette incident to X, hence all flags
inspected there. This is why flag-dependent payloads are assigned enlarged physical footprints even
though compatibility in a gas is tested on the originally assigned supports.
For A ∈An, set
(inc(U, tA))e = exp(tAe)Ue,
∇AF(U) = d
dtF(inc(U, tA))

t=0
.
For an ordered list l= (A1, . . . , Aq), define recursively
∇∅F = F,
∇A::lF(U) = d
dt(∇lF)(inc(U, tA))

t=0
.
(AB3)
The order matters; no commutation of left derivatives is assumed. These derivatives are required to
exist where tested. A regular representative on X is a globally Borel, gauge-invariant local function
F such that v 7→F(inc(U, v)) is Cj near zero for every U ∈Hθ(X), and its recursively specified
left derivatives have the derivative identities in (AB3) through order j. In particular the smooth
germ is required also at a healthy configuration lying on the threshold boundary. Off-domain values
of the representative remain available for locality and measurability, but do not enter its regular
derivative price.
A budget point consists of integers p ≥2, j ≥6, B ≥1, support exponent s > 0, and threshold
0 < θ ≤1. We denote it by p = (p, j, s, B, θ). For anchor o, its allowed directions satisfy
|Ae| ≤θ(1 + dist(e−, o))p
for every link e.
(AB4)
Here e−is the initial vertex of the stored positive link, and the distance is the periodic maximum-
coordinate distance. A nonnegative number b is a derivative envelope for F on (o, X) if
|∇lF(U)| ≤b
whenever U ∈Hθ(X), |l| ≤j, and every A ∈lsatisfies (AB4).
(AB5)
Norms replace absolute values for vector-valued coefficients. The support price is
massp(X, b) = es covB(X)b.
(AB6)
The factor is at least one. Every sum of envelopes below means a nonnegative summable family
together with its asserted bound on the sum. Equivalently, every finite partial sum obeys that
bound; taking increasing finite partial sums proves summability and the same total bound for
countable dictionaries.
A regular address is (oi, Xi) with oi ∈Xi. A regular family Ei has anchored budget δ if it has
envelopes bi ≥0 satisfying (AB5) and
sup
o∈Λn

es covB(Xi)bi ≤δ.

The representation used after the kinetic reset additionally has Ei(1) = 0. On a nonwrapping
support its identity Hessian

vanishes whenever A, C are affine link fields in the canonical lift about oi. Explicitly an affine field
has
Ax,a = aa +
X
b
lift(x −oi)b dab.
(AB8)
The reset chapter constructs this Hessian cancellation; it is not imposed on arbitrary primitive
functions before projection.
A forced address consists of a support Yi, a nonempty inventory Ii ⊆Yi, and a fixed extra
predicate Pi(U). Its coefficient Ki is globally Borel and gauge invariant and vanishes unless
Yi ∩Fθ(U) = Ii,
Pi(U).
(AB9)
The predicate is Borel and gauge invariant; both coefficient and predicate may read links and final
flags on Yi, hence have the physical read enlargement (AB2). A forced budget κ consists of numbers
ci ≥0 such that |Ki(U)| ≤ci on every configuration and
sup
x∈Λn
X
i:x∈Yi
es covB(Yi)ci ≤κ.
(AB10)
This is a support-hit budget, in contrast to the single-anchor sum (AB7). Coefficients equal to zero
still retain their addresses and eligibility predicates.
For a finite set D of forced addresses, the gas term is zero unless their supports are pairwise
disjoint and their inventories have union exactly Fθ(U); otherwise it is Q
i∈D Ki(U). Summing
these terms over finite D defines the forced gas. The regular exponent is the sum of 1Hθ(Xi)Ei. At
a fixed finite torus these series are absolutely convergent: assign each regular term to its anchor
and each forced term to one site of its nonempty support. Equations (AB7)–(AB10) bound their
total envelope sums by |Λn|δ and |Λn|κ. The sum of absolute products over all finite subsets is at
most Q
i(1 + ci) ≤e
P
i ci. Restricting to compatible subsets only decreases it. If there are no flags,
only the empty forced set can contribute, since each inventory is nonempty; the gas is then exactly
one.
Signed translations are implemented by fixed permutations of the whole regular and forced
address lists, carrying anchors, supports, inventories, predicates and coefficient functions together.
Thus comparing two activity values in a single chart always means comparing the same lists and
symmetry permutations. It does not mean identifying two representations merely because their
total densities agree.
An early source budget uses s + 3, rather than s, in (AB7). This is the pre-reset reserve. The
three additional support-exponent units pay the local splitting and conversion operations explicitly
described in the reset and signed-expansion chapters.
Reducing the exponent from s + 3 to s
decreases every nonnegative summand. The rotation of derivative directions costs the finite factor
turnFee(p) = (2 2p)j.
(AB11)
Indeed the anchor itself is transported exactly. A reversed link is stored at its other endpoint, at
distance at most one from the transported base, so 1 + d + 1 ≤2(1 + d) costs 2p in (AB4). Its
right increment can be converted to a left increment by the adjoint action of the background link,
which preserves color norm. Expanding each pulled-back left derivative into its positive-link and
negative-link contributions gives at most 2q ordered lists at order q; each has length q and direction
21

inflation at most 2p. Multilinearity of the iterated derivatives bounds their sum by (2 2p)qb, which
is at most (AB11) times b for q ≤j. This expansion follows by induction on the ordered list, using
the exact left/right increment identity and the disjoint link supports of the positive and negative
parts. Support enlargement is charged separately by its cover-number inequality; it is not included
in this factor.
At level i put xi = bβi and Mi = exp((log log xi)2). The normalizations used in (LCN1) are the
calendar’s actual allowances

kPi = exp(−M1/5

Both are strictly positive. Thus ∥A∥Pi ≤t means exactly that its regular and forced components
obey (AB7) and (AB10) with budgets tbPi and tkPi, respectively, in their fixed address layout.
The retained physical states have t ≤1/8. Triangle inequalities give the norm properties used
later: sums of admissible nonnegative envelopes remain envelopes, derivatives are linear, and scalar
multiplication multiplies all envelopes by the scalar modulus. Least envelopes, followed by finite
partial-sum limits, give attainment of an infimum whenever it is used in (LCN1). The separated
completion removes only differences of zero price in these tested germs and forced values.

Source–readout formulation.
The target objects of this subsection are functions and events
on the finite configuration space Cn = GΛn×{0,1,2,3}, which is the readout space U of Theorem 7.1
for the torus Λn. The realized sector is Z = GV ×GE with readout π(r, A)e = r−1
x Aery and section
σ(U) = (1, U). An activity datum is lifted by composition: every regular representative, forced
coefficient and predicate F is replaced by F ◦π, while every piece of lattice bookkeeping (anchor,
support, inventory, address list, scope) is copied unchanged into the raw tuple. The operations
to be lifted are the flag map, the mask, the left increment and its ordered derivatives, the signed
lattice permutations, and the sums defining the budgets and the norm. The fibre of π is the frame
orbit; the statements below show that all of these operations commute with π and that every
number defined in (AB1)–(AB12) is constant on that fibre. The exactness class is an embedding
with section: nothing in the budgets is enlarged, sharpened or lost.
Proposition 9.1 (Frame-blind flags). For every (r, A) ∈Z and every plaquette p based at x,
π(r, A)p = r−1
x Aprx,
chord(π(r, A)p) = chord(Ap),
Fθ(π(r, A)) = Fθ(A).
Hence π−1Hθ(X) = GV × Hθ(X), a closed Borel set stable under the frame action of Theorem 7.1,
and for every gauge-invariant F one has (1Hθ(X)F) ◦π(r, A) = 1Hθ(X)(A)F(A).
Proof. The path identity Uγ = r−1
x Aγry at a closed path gives the conjugation formula. The chord
∥g−1∥F/√m is invariant under conjugation by a unitary matrix, which gives the second equality at
every plaquette and therefore equality of the two flag sets. The preimage formula is a restatement.
The frame action sends Ap to kxApk−1
x , which again preserves every chord. Finally π(r, A) is the
gauge transform of A by gx = r−1
x , so a gauge-invariant F has F ◦π(r, A) = F(A).
Thus the frame column is a pure spectator for gauge-invariant activities. It is not a spectator
for the charts, axial gauges and predictors of the nonlinear chapter, which are not gauge invariant;
there the frame is retained and the covariance identities of the tangent chapter are used instead. A

flag-reading coefficient lifted by composition with π reads the raw links internal to Xins of (AB2)
and, unless it is gauge invariant, the frames on Xins.
For the increment and the derivative define, for z = (r, A) ∈Z and B ∈An,

t=0,
with ∇Z
∅Φ = Φ. The raw direction is the target direction conjugated into the stored frame; the
frame itself is not moved.
Theorem 9.2 (Ordered-derivative recovery). For all z ∈Z, B ∈An and real t, π(incZ(z, tB)) =
inc(π(z), tB). If F has the ordered derivatives (AB3) through order j at π(z), then F ◦π has the
ordered derivatives ∇Z
lthrough order j at z and
∇Z
l(F ◦π)(z) = (∇lF)(π(z))
(|l| ≤j),
with the same ordered list on both sides. The raw-link direction rxBer−1
x
has the same color norm
as Be.
Proof. For a link e : x →y, r−1
x exp(t rxBer−1
x )Aery = exp(tBe) r−1
x Aery, since conjugation com-
mutes with the exponential. This is the first identity. The derivative identity is proved by induction
on the list. It is trivial for the empty list. If it holds for lon a neighbourhood of the curve, then
∇Z
B::l(F ◦π)(z) = d
dt(∇lF)
 π(incZ(z, tB))

0 = d
dt(∇lF)(inc(πz, tB))

0 = ∇B::lF(πz).
The increment incZ leaves the frame fixed, so the induction never leaves the fibre over the varying
readout and the order of the list is not changed.
The color inner product −m−1 Re tr(XY ) is
conjugation invariant, which is the last statement.
Proposition 9.3 (Budgets are fibre constants). Let F be a regular representative on X and Ki,
Pi forced data. For every frame r:
1. b is an envelope (AB5) for F on (o, X) if and only if |∇Z
l(F ◦π)(r, A)| ≤b for all A ∈Hθ(X),
|l| ≤j and lists obeying (AB4);
2. the prices (AB6), the anchored budget (AB7), the forced bounds |Ki ◦π| ≤ci, the eligibility
condition (AB9) and the forced budget (AB10) are the same numbers and the same events for
the lifted family;
3. the identity-value and affine-Hessian conditions lift to every flat raw configuration Ae = rxr−1
y :
there Ei ◦π = Ei(1) = 0 and the second derivative ∇Z
(A,C)(Ei ◦π) vanishes for affine A, C of
the form (AB8).
Proof. (1) By Proposition 9.1, (r, A) lies over the healthy domain exactly when A does, and π(r, ·)
maps Hθ(X) onto itself by a gauge transformation. Theorem 9.2 equates the two derivative values
with the same list, so the two suprema coincide. (2) Supports, anchors, cover numbers and invento-
ries are lattice data untouched by π; coefficients and predicates are gauge invariant, so their lifted
values at (r, A) are their values at A; flags agree by Proposition 9.1. (3) A flat raw configuration
reads to U = 1, and the Hessian is the order-two case of Theorem 9.2.

Gas and exponent. By Proposition 9.3 each term of the forced gas and of the regular exponent,
lifted by composition, equals the corresponding original term at A and has the same majorant.
Consequently the absolute convergence statements derived above hold for the lifted series with the
same bounds, and
GasZ(r, A) = Gas(A),
ExpZ(r, A) = Exp(A),
termwise and before summation. The address lists are part of the realized tuple: two representations
with the same total density but different address layouts are different source records, exactly as in
the supplied construction, and the readout does not identify them.
Symmetries and the turn fee. On Z a signed lattice permutation ρ acts geometrically on frames
and raw links, with inverse raw links under orientation reversal; the path identity Uγ = r−1
x Aγry
gives πρZ = ρπ, so the lifted address lists are permuted by the same fixed permutations.
In
the derivation of (AB11) the conversion of a right increment into a left increment uses, in the
realization, the raw background link, Ae exp(tA′) = exp(t AeA′A−1
e )Ae, and the frame conjugations
of Theorem 9.2 preserve the color norm. The fee is therefore the same number on both sides of π
and is not paid twice.
Theorem 9.4 (Isometric recovery of the activity chart). Let ActPi be the space of activities in
a fixed address layout with finite norm and JA = A ◦π, applied to each regular representative,
forced coefficient and predicate while keeping the address lists. With the lifted envelopes of Propo-
sition 9.3(1), J is a linear isometry of (ActPi, ∥· ∥Pi) onto its image; restriction to the section
σ(U) = (1, U) is its inverse; J descends to the separated completions and intertwines the signed-
translation permutations, the reserve reduction s + 3 7→s and the turn-fee estimate (AB11).
Proof. Linearity is clear. Equality of norms is Proposition 9.3 applied to each address, followed by
the same suprema and sums. (JA) ◦σ = A because πσ = id. An activity difference has zero price
exactly when all its tested germs and forced values vanish, a condition preserved in both directions,
so J is well defined and isometric on the separated quotient and extends to the completion. The
intertwining statements were proved in the two preceding paragraphs.
The status of Theorem 9.4 is exact recovery on the declared class. What the realization does not
supply is a bound on derivatives in frame directions for functions that fail to be gauge invariant;
none is used for activities. What is realization data rather than a consequence of admission is
everything in (AB1)–(AB12) itself: the threshold, the stiffness and budget points, the envelopes
and the calendar normalization (AB12) are chosen in the supplied construction and retained in the
raw tuple.
9.2
The finite Wilson law is a probability measure
First the finite Wilson law is an actual probability measure. Every unitary matrix V has −m ≤
Re tr V ≤m: each diagonal entry has modulus at most one. Thus every plaquette price lies in [0, 2].
If there are F plaquettes and β ≥0, its continuous density relative to the product Haar probability
measure obeys
e−2βF ≤e−βS(U) ≤1,
e−2βF ≤Z ≤1.
In particular normalization is legitimate and bounded measurable cylinders are integrable. A site
gauge change multiplies a link on its two ends; by Haar invariance its change of variables preserves
the product prior. Its plaquette holonomy is conjugated at the base site, so the trace and the action
are unchanged. The normalized law is consequently gauge invariant. A signed lattice permutation
merely reindexes plaquettes, possibly reversing their holonomies; inversion preserves their real
24

traces. It too preserves both the prior and the law. The local representatives in (PF12), and their
finite products, therefore have precisely the finite-lattice expectations used below.
Source–readout formulation.
In the realization the density of Theorem 7.2 is the same function
of the raw links, e−βS(A), and the frame factors integrate to one. Therefore
ZZ = Z ∈[e−2βF , 1],
π∗eμ = μW ,
with the same two-sided density bounds. A physical gauge transformation g is lifted by rx 7→rxg−1
x
with A fixed, so it does not move the density at all; a signed lattice permutation acts on both
columns and preserves the product Haar prior and the raw action for the reasons just given. The
local representatives used in the reflection argument and their finite products have exactly the same
expectations before and after the lift. This is exact recovery of a normalized probability law, not
of an unnormalized weight modulo a gauge volume.
10
Finite reflection positivity and rooted bounds
Cut the periodic lattice perpendicular to a coordinate axis. A leaf X is the set of links tangent
to one slice; threads are the links joining successive slices. The supplied finite argument starts
with the positive kernel K(g, h) = Re tr(gh∗), the real inner product of real and imaginary matrix
entries. Finite sums, pullbacks and nonnegative multiples preserve positivity. Products preserve
it by tensoring Gram vectors; the exponential preserves it by its nonnegative power series and
finite-matrix limits. At identity thread the joining-leaf kernel is

Here q counts crossing plaquettes and Eβ allocates the tangential half-action.
For β ≥0 it is
continuous and positive semidefinite. Endpoint gauge changes and normalized Haar invariance give
Z
Wβ(X, Y ; u) du =
ZZ
Wβ(u · X, v · Y ; 1) du dv.
(RP2)
The identity follows by replacing one thread variable by its left translate and combining the two
endpoint gauge actions. The right side is positive semidefinite: apply the positive-kernel quadratic
inequality to finite linear combinations of the averaged feature vectors, or approximate the integrals
by simple functions in the same Gram identity. Compact boundedness justifies Fubini and the con-
tinuity of the averaged kernel. Site reflections have shared seam variables and constant conditional
cross kernel. Link reflections have two distinct periodic seam threads, including at the shortest
allowed half-length, and the product of their averaged kernels, with one argument order reversed,
is positive.
The seam/open-link assembly changes variables only by left/right multiplication and inversion,
preserving the product Haar prior by iterated invariance. To make the splitting precise, list the seam
variables, the two seam threads when present, and the open variables on the two halves. Assemble
the original link configuration from these coordinates by their assignments and the endpoint gauge
multiplications along the cut direction. Its plaquette reading splits the action into the two halves
and seam factor.
Gauge-invariant probes strictly in one half read that half and shared seam
variables. Conditional on the seam, with half-action factors included in f, the unnormalized pairing

The integrated Gram inequality proves its sign. Integrating over the seam preserves nonnegativity.
Bounded measurable probes are integrable against the compact Wilson density. Dividing by the
strictly positive partition function yields
⟨F F ◦θ⟩β ≥0.

The reflection includes orientation inversions; no crossing link inside the probe is replaced.

where each assignment folds the corresponding half into the other. In a finite alphabet the maximum
exists. Both folded values are at most that maximum; if it is positive the inequality forces both
to equal it, and if zero equality is immediate. Thus maximizing assignments remain maximizing
under both folds. Starting with a one-cell-wide identical strip, successive boundary folds extend
it to a half-period and then the full coordinate. A fold in another coordinate preserves equality
along the coordinates already filled, so repeating in each coordinate yields a constant maximizing
assignment, without a power-of-two hypothesis. Normalize each chamber function by R(Fc) + ε.
Every constant assignment has value at most one, hence the mixed maximum does too. Rescaling

Copied scalars give R(zF) = |z|R(F): a copied scalar is either z or  ̄z, and the absolute value of
their full product is |z|v. Expanding the 2v assignments in the copied product of F +H and applying
RP5 bounds its expectation by (R(F)+R(H))v. Taking the root proves subadditivity. This proves
all the rooted homogeneity, subadditivity and mixed-product estimates used below directly for the
Wilson law.
For the lift, reflect frames and raw links by their geometric vertex/link assignment, with inverse
raw links under orientation reversal. The path identity then gives πθZ = θπ. Thus F Z = Fπ
has exactly the RP3 pairing by measure recovery.
Every copied chamber product likewise has
the original expectation, so its rooted seminorm and RP4–RP5 bounds are identical. All seam
and support records are retained. This proves preservation of the finite positive form and rooted
estimates before the later Hilbert completion.
Positive-form recovery on the retained probe algebra.
Let A+ be the supplied bounded
gauge-invariant chamber algebra, with its strict half-space support convention, and let J+F = F ◦π.
Equip its image J+A+ with the reflected form
BZ(J+F, J+H) =
Z
(F ◦π) (H ◦π) ◦θZ deμ =

F H ◦θ dμW = B(F, H).
The middle identity uses the geometric intertwining and normalized pushforward together; posi-
tivity alone would not identify the form. The section gives (J+F) ◦σ = F, so this is an injective

identification of the retained probe algebra. For any finite list Fa, the entire reflected Gram matrix
is identical on both sides, not only its diagonal. Consequently J+ identifies the zero-form subspaces
N = {F : B(F, F) = 0} and NZ = {J+F : BZ(J+F, J+F) = 0}; it induces an isometry of A+/N
onto J+A+/NZ, and hence of their completions. This statement concerns precisely the retained
probe image. For each copied chamber product the same identities give RZ(J+F) = R(F), includ-
ing zero roots, so normalization by R(F) + ε and the limit ε ↓0 commute with recovery. Strict
support is transported with the endpoints of each raw link and its endpoint frames; the origi-
nal readout support is recovered on the section. Neither a new seam convention nor a positivity
assertion on arbitrary raw-frame functions is needed.

Quadratic ultraviolet kernels and comparison
The recovery problem at quadratic order.
The finite Wilson measure is now fixed. The next
task is to control its quadratic approximation under repeated blocking. A quadratic history retains
the cochain spaces, block averages, precision forms, covariance symbols and stationary predictors
at every intermediate scale. A precision is the quadratic form in the Gaussian exponent; its inverse
is taken only on the specified gauge and harmonic complement. The source record must therefore
retain that complement, rather than replacing a singular form by an unspecified inverse.
At the tangent level the frame readout is a surjection p with section j, pj = I. An operator T is
realized by jTp, whereas its quadratic form is pulled back by p∗Qp. These two constructions have
different types. In particular the pulled-back form has the vertical frame directions in its radical and
cannot be coercive there. The ensuing Fourier divisions, alias sums and positive-margin repairs are
performed in the original cochain spaces and are then recovered through these maps. The principal-
predictor amendment in Appendix I.1 is essential to cancellation before Fourier extraction; a bound
on the separate singular pieces would not replace that identity.
For reporting level k write T(k, i) = 2 + Z(k) + | scale(i) −scale(k)|. The spacings ai tend to
zero. The supplied Qn,i is the action Hessian on link potentials, with no additional factor one half,
obtained from a curvature packet by D∗KD; it does not specify the curvature metric away from
curls. The row bound Rs sums absolute entries over input sites at fixed input orientation, with
weight es distance, and takes the supremum over output links.
Retain the horizon hypotheses named H.Suffices P and Flat.meshed, including the actual des-
tination response in each preceding history. In particular yi = w(J(i)), 0 < w(j) ≤min(P.α(j), 1),
and on the admitting tail yi ≤min(1, P.α(J(i+1)), P.α(J(i))). Retain 2yi ≤block(i)yi+1, one-step
price at most block(i)−θ for θ > 0, and P.Ω(J(i)) ≤BT(k, i)l uniformly in k, i ≥e.
The terminal saddle difference is a curvature packet with cost topTab(N) = 2|Faces|P.Ω(J(N)).
The exact crossing identity propagates this packet using the two actual histories’ responses, retain-
ing neutrality and translation covariance. Width crossing licenses each propagation. In particular,
this is an identity for the two actual histories rather than a comparison with a separately chosen
limiting history. Its cost satisfies
CN = topTab(N),
Ci ≤block(i)−θCi+1.
Before replacing the quote by its block bound, propagation multiplies the packet cost by
quote(i, yi+1). The reciprocal Stair.weight constructs a nonnegative majorant whose recurrence is
an equality with this actual quote. World.overlap then applies the polynomial-age decay lemma to
that majorant, without assuming a continuum limit. The polynomial decay argument below then
yields A ≥0, an integer d ≥0 and c > 0 such that
Ryi(Qn,i −QN,i) ≤AT(k, i)d(aN/ai)c,
e ≤i ≤N ≤n.

To recover the cover quadratic kernel, let D be the lattice coboundary and write W(K) = D∗KD,
interpreting K through its two-point kernel. For the packet-to-kernel step, finite support of D sup-
plies width-one row and column bound L. Weighted convolution gives Rs(D∗KD) ≤|Faces|2L2C
for s ≤1 and packet cost C, independently of torus size. Equality of the packet form and kernel
difference on all scheduled tori gives cover equality by the following uniqueness argument. In a
periodized entry, the indicator selecting each fixed cover site converges to the indicator of the cho-
sen site as torus side tends to infinity. Summable absolute entries dominate this sum; dominated
convergence recovers the cover entry. Thus two summable kernels with identical periodizations
agree entrywise. This is Flat.resolve, distinct from the matrix inverse named resolve elsewhere.
Q1 makes every entry Cauchy for fixed i ≥e. Its limit Fi obeys, by Fatou on weighted absolute
rows,
Ryi(QN,i −Fi) ≤AT(k, i)d(aN/ai)c,
Ryi(Fi) ≤B′T(k, i)l.
Uniqueness of entrywise limits gives the same family for every reporting level k; before e it may be
defined as zero, where no conclusion is imposed.
For completeness retain the scalar majorant proof, with nonnegative arrays, A ≥0, integer
d ≥0, Z ≥0 and θ > 0. All constants are uniform over the schedules and terminal indices under
consideration. Let ∆i = ti+1 −ti ≥log 3 and τi = 2 + Z + |ti −tk|. If fi ≤e−θ∆ifi+1 + gi, fN ≤gN
and 0 ≤gi ≤Aτ d
i , put K = 2(d + 1)/θ, q = e−θ log 3/2 and B = A/(1 −q). Here K > 0, 0 < q < 1,
τi ≥2, and τi+1 ≤τi + ∆i. The elementary inequality eu ≥1 + u gives
K + τi+1 ≤(K + τi)e∆i/K.
Since d/K ≤θ/2,
(K + τi+1)de−θ∆i ≤q(K + τi)d.
At the terminal index the bound follows from A ≤B. If it holds at i + 1, the recurrence gives
(Bq + A)(K + τi)d = B(K + τi)d. Thus backward induction gives fi ≤B(K + τi)d ≤B(K + 1)dτ d
i ,
using K+τi ≤(K+1)τi. If giec(tN−ti) is polynomially bounded, multiply the recurrence by eμ(tN−ti),
μ = min(c, θ/2) > 0. The transformed forcing is polynomial because μ ≤c, and the new decay
exponent is θ −μ > 0. The same argument gives fi ≤A′τ d′
i e−μ(tN−ti), equal to a positive power
of aN/ai. A forcing supported only at N automatically satisfies the weighted hypothesis, because
its exponential factor is one on its support. For well-founded grades, finite polynomials in earlier-
grade bounds provide the forcing; next-scale ages are polynomially controlled when block lengths
are polynomial in current age, since τi+1 ≤τi + log(block(i)) ≤τi + block(i). Difference forcing
retains polynomial absolute bounds of both histories, including the current grade, and difference
bounds only at strictly earlier grades. Multiplication by polynomial absolute bounds preserves
exponential decay. Finite sums take the minimum positive decay exponent.
Every admissible horizon has the same fixed terminal bare quadratic form. On each scheduled
finite torus its stationary response satisfies
Qcoarse = T TQfineT + b(I −PT)T(I −PT),
b > 0.
Here P is the common probe and T the actual extracted response. All spaces in this comparison
are real with the stated physical metrics; ∗below denotes their adjoint, represented by transpose
in orthonormal coordinates. For two symmetric fine precisions Q, R, symmetric coarse precisions
A, B, and responses T, W, the primal and dual equations give
QT = P ∗A,
RW = P ∗B,
A = b(I −PT),
B = b(I −PW),
W ∗(R −Q)T = BPT −(PW)∗A = B(I −A/b) −(I −B/b)A = B −A.

Explicitly, transposing RW = P ∗B gives W ∗R = BP. The ordered mixed products cancel without
commutation of A and B, even when auxiliary factorizations differ.
Common terminal forms
therefore yield common evaluated quadratic forms backwards, and summable cover uniqueness
yields common kernels. The source’s shadow clips change the numerical factors to γ(j), γ(j)/32 >
0 while retaining relaxation, radius, slow selector, schedule, patches, smoothing levels and the
blocking penalty, so this comparison applies to those horizons. It asserts equality on link-potential
quadratic forms, not equality of higher-order horizon data. The responses T, W and their primal
and dual equations are constructed in the harmonic and scaled-exterior arguments below.
Under the tangent readout, the packet is pulled back as a form, while responses use jTp. The
exact crossing and comparison identities therefore recover by the operator/form theorem.
All
row bounds apply on the transported section with the original color norms; the redundant vertical
directions are not assigned a positive coercive floor. This identifies the source quadratic convergence
mechanism on the realized branch without replacing its horizon assumptions.
Recovery of the ultraviolet limit and common output.
At a fixed reporting lattice i, choose
the tangent readout pi and section ji once, independently of the terminal cutoffn, with piji = I.
For the finite-cutoffforms and their limit put
eQn,i = p∗
i Qn,ipi,
eFi = p∗
i Fipi,
j∗
i eQn,iji = Qn,i,
j∗
i eFiji = Fi.
The standard tangent readout is a fixed finite stencil at this level. Every entry of its pulled-back
form is therefore a finite linear combination of entries of the physical form. Entrywise convergence
commutes with this pullback and with section restriction. On the section, use the transported
physical coordinate basis and the original distance and color norm. The weighted row bound of
the restricted difference is then exactly Ryi(QN,i −Fi), with the original polynomial and decay
constants; this is not a bound in an arbitrarily chosen norm on the redundant coordinates. The
same restriction recovers the Fatou bound and the family independent of reporting level k. On each
scheduled torus the readout stencil is its periodic version, so the finite-stencil pullback commutes
with periodization of the summable kernel. Consequently the cover-uniqueness argument compares
the same physical entries after readout. It requires no inverse of the redundant precision. When
two horizon outputs agree at every cutoff, their section restrictions and their entrywise limits agree;
this transfers the supplied common-output and entrance conclusions with their original admissibility
conditions. It does not identify curvature metrics away from curls or nonlinear data of the two
horizons.
11.1
The finite quadratic history contract and its terminal majorant
Before the horizon hypotheses are stated it must be said exactly what a finite quadratic history
is. At each i ≤n it consists of five real Laurent rows on lattice two-forms: an unamended metric
H, its inverse, an amended metric M, its inverse, and a residual Gram root F. Their weighted
coefficient bounds have width α(J(i)) > 0 and price Ω(J(i)). At every torus period
HH−1 = MM−1 = I,
F ∗F + cI = M,
Md1 = Hd1,
M(0) = I,
(1)
where c > 0 is the direct clip coefficient, so the full Gram factor is the stack (√c I, F). Both
metrics are symmetric with quadratic forms between η(J(i))I and Ω(J(i))I, η > 0, and the terminal
unamended metric is I. Each transition carries a fine potential response A0, a curvature response
T, and mixed, normal and image rows satisfying the stationary and Gram identities derived in the
following subsections. The mixed row has bound Ω/L2; the normal and image rows have bound Ω.

A word of r carried fine differences of A0 or of T has bound ΩL−1−r or ΩL−2−r respectively, through
order J(i + 1) −2. A carried difference increments the fine residue, shifts the coarse displacement
when the increment crosses its centred seam, and subtracts the original entry: it is the actual fine
difference including the carry. These all-period conditions are constructed by the metric, positive-
margin, auxiliary-tower and pinning arguments below; they are not additional hypotheses of the
public theorem.
Proposition 11.1 (Lift of the five-row contract). Let p(φ, a) = a + d0φ and j(u) = (0, u) be the
potential readout and section of Theorem A.1. Two-form rows are read through d1p, and d1p(φ, a) =
d1a. Then:
1. the identities (1) hold verbatim for the realized rows, which act on the same two-form space;
in particular (√c I, F) is a Gram factor of M, so M ≥cI;
2. the exterior identity pulls back to M d1p = H d1p on the whole redundant potential space, and
both sides vanish on the vertical subspace {(φ, −d0φ)};
3. the realized potential response A0,Z = jfA0pc satisfies pfA0,Z = A0pc, and a word of carried
fine differences of A0,Z reads to the same word for A0, with the same residue increments and
seam carries.
Proof. (1) The frame redundancy acts on potentials only, and d1d0 = 0 shows that no two-form
coordinate is changed; the rows and their products are literally the supplied ones. The quadratic
form of F ∗F + cI is ∥Fv∥2 + c∥v∥2. (2) Compose Md1 = Hd1 with p and use d1p(φ, −d0φ) =
−d1d0φ = 0.
(3) The first identity is Theorem A.1.
A carried fine difference is a fixed finite
combination of lattice translations and index carries, which commute with p and j because d0 is
translation covariant; induction on the length of the word gives the claim.
The loss in this lift is explicit: the amendment M −H is determined by (1) only offthe range
of d1, and the realization records which amendment the history actually chose. Two histories with
the same potential Hessian d∗
1Hd1 = d∗
1Md1 but different amended metrics are different realized
records with the same potential readout.
For the terminal-only recurrence of the flat convergence argument the majorant can be written
in closed form. With tj = log(a−1
j ),
bCi = topTab(N)
N−1
Y
j=i
L−θ
j
= topTab(N) e−θ(tN−ti).
The empty product gives the terminal value and each backward step is exactly the required con-
traction. Put u = tN −ti ≥0. The triangle inequality gives T(k, N) ≤T(k, i) + u, and T(k, i) ≥2,
so T(k, N) ≤T(k, i)(1 + u). The polynomial cap on the terminal price yields
bCi ≤C T(k, i)l(1 + u)le−θu ≤C′ T(k, i)le−θu/2,
C′ = C sup
u≥0
(1 + u)le−θu/2 < ∞.
Since e−u = aN/ai this is the asserted decay Ci ≤A T(k, i)l(aN/ai)c with c = θ/2. It uses no
continuum convergence. The general recurrence lemma, which also allows forcing at intermediate
levels, is proved with all its steps in the scalar majorant paragraph above (constants K = 2(d+1)/θ,
q = e−(θ/2) log 3, B = A/(1 −q) and the bound fi ≤B(K + 1)dτ d
i ). Because the majorant is a scalar
function of the realized scale clock and of the tagged terminal price, its lift is the identity on values:
bCZ
i = bCi, and the recovered kernel bound has the same constant C′ and exponent θ/2.

11.2
Width selection and neutral propagation
The entrance construction first fixes the retained-support linear choice, its positive clip curve γ and
length demand n. For its price choice X, use E(j) = max(tickets(X, j), n(j)) and require E(J(i +
1)) ≤block(i), including auxiliary steps before admission. Apply the linear horizon construction to
the sheet with rearranged clips. The delay assumption at the admitting index supplies the widths
checked below.
The supplies construction on the shadow horizon gives one common family Fi,
polynomial absolute bounds and decaying difference bounds. The same_shadow identity identifies
every original finite-cutoffoutput with its shadow output; equality of these sequences transfers their
limits and all bounds to every original horizon meeting its admissible price conditions. This proves
the quadratic-history comparison. The responses themselves are constructed, and their primal and
dual equations derived, in the harmonic and scaled-exterior subsections below (Subsections 11.9
and 11.10).
For a fixed price table choose w(j) = min(1, P.α(j), P.α(j +1)) > 0 before the lengths. If h(j, u)
is the adjacent smoothing allotment, put
B(j, u) = |Faces|2
2
w(j)h(j, u)2,
EP (j) =
l
2/w(j) + B(j, j)2 + B(j, j −1)2m
.
The smoothing index stays fixed or increases by one at each step. Thus u = J(i) is j = J(i + 1) or
j −1. The requirement L ≥EP (j) gives both B(j, u)2 ≤L and L ≥2/w(j), and pays B(j, u)/L ≤
L−1/2 and 2w(u) ≤2 ≤Lw(j). These are the contraction and width-crossing inequalities with
θ = 1/2. Adjacency also makes w(u) no greater than either analytic width required at the crossing.
The thresholds depend on the already fixed prices, before L is chosen. With Z(k) = 3 + log bβk,
bβk > 1, and slope s > 0, the affine clock gives bβi ≤bβk + s|ti −tk|. Divide by bβk > 1 and use
log v ≤v −1 to obtain
log bβi ≤log bβk + s|ti −tk| ≤(1 + s)[2 + Z(k) + |ti −tk|].
Thus the admitting delay P.Ω(J(i)) ≤log bβi gives the required degree-one age bound. Together
with the previous inequalities this establishes every spacing condition used in the flat convergence
argument.
A nearest-neighbor coordinate path from x to z has length a = |z −x|1 and stays within that
distance of x. Such a path is obtained by changing each integer coordinate toward its target one unit
at a time. The Atlas one-step data supply a weighted forward directional difference row bounded
by c/Ld+1. At each intermediate site v, the triangle inequality gives
eσδL(x,y) ≤eσa/LeσδL(v,y).
The same row bound therefore applies to forward and backward steps, with the factor eσa/L. Tele-
scoping yields
X
y
|U((z, i), (y, j)) −U((x, i), (y, j))|eσδL(x,y) ≤aeσa/Lc/Ld+1.
The centered estimate uses d = 2 and spends half the input exponential width on a. The actual
response and its one-step bound are constructed in the atlas, response and exterior-lifting arguments
that follow.
For a packet K, neutrality means P
z K(x, (z, a)) = 0 for each held x and each
orientation a separately. Its propagated kernel is
K′(y, z) =
X
x,v
T(x, y)K(x, v)U(v, z).

Weighted row/column absolute majorants justify every regrouping: first sum the nonnegative ab-
solute majorant in the output variables, then in the input variables. The resulting finite product
of bounds dominates the full multiple series, including regrouping over the finite orientation sets.
Before taking absolute values, subtract from the right factor the value at the site of x with the
orientation of v; neutrality cancels the removed sum orientation by orientation. Explicitly the cen-
tered factor is U(v, z) −U((x.site, v.orientation), z). For τ > 0 and 2σ ≤Lτ, aeσa/L ≤(2/τ)eτa:
use σ/L ≤τ/2 and a ≤(2/τ)eτa/2, which follows from u ≤eu for u ≥0. The degree-two centered
right row therefore costs |β|(2/τ)c/L3; the left column costs |α|qL2. A packet of cost p consequently
gives
foldedσ(K′) ≤[|α|q|β|(2/τ)c/L]p.
The L−1 gain requires centering before the norm. Site-independent orientation-wise output sums
of U preserve neutrality. Summing K′(y, (z, b)) in z then gives a linear combination of the zero
orientation-wise sums of K, so it vanishes. Shifting fine summation variables by L times a coarse
shift proves covariance. Splitting absolutely convergent sums into residue classes proves exact torus
periodization T ∗
torusKtorusUtorus. Applying the mixed stationary identity identifies this periodized
packet with the coarse quadratic difference. These operations lift with the original orientations and
absolute majorants. The predictor spatial estimates and constant-curvature transport property
remain the stated dependencies; the secured pilot and wire bounds supply the former.
Quadratic comparison and neutral-cost recovery.
The scalar recursion source retains each
nonnegative forcing value, age and scale increment. Its readout is the identity on these entries,
so the majorant, terminal condition and exponentially weighted recurrence recover literally, with
the same K, q, B, μ and well-founded grade order. The price table and widths are fixed before the
chosen block length; neither the lift nor the shadow quadratic comparison reorders these choices.
For finite physical tangent spaces use sections jf, jc and readouts pf, pc. Transport T as jfTpc
and a precision as the pulled-back form p∗
fQpf. Restriction to the sections then recovers every
stationary and mixed comparison identity, including W ∗(R −Q)T = B −A, in the original metrics.
On curvature packet coordinates transport each response and packet with their corresponding
section maps. The orientation-wise cancellation of the constant right predictor is retained before
forming the absolute majorant. Its scalar cost reader is exactly
(|α|qL2) (|β|(2/τ)cL−3) p = |α|q|β|(2/τ)cL−1p.
Thus the width crossing, neutral gain and periodized quadratic difference recover with the same
actual histories, and no positive form is imposed on redundant vertical directions. Absolute con-
vergence licenses the same finite-orientation regrouping and residue-class periodization used in the
physical comparison.
11.3
Full-space correction and analytic roots
On the whole three-form coordinate space the source symbol is A = V + lI −mS∗S, with m ≥0,
V ≥−a2CI and S∗S ≤a2BL−2I.
Choosing l ≥a2C + 2 before requiring ma2B ≤L2 gives
A ≥I. Here m is the fine amendment, l the coarse amendment, and a a fixed orientation count;
C, B > 0 depend only on the fixed smoothing pair and penalty. At real momentum the symbols
are Hermitian, and for every full three-form vector x,
⟨x, Ax⟩≥[−a2C + l −ma2B/L2]∥x∥2 ≥∥x∥2.

Thus the coarse threshold is chosen before the length, which then absorbs the already fixed fine
amendment. For R = F ∗AF, a uniformly bounded right inverse of the actual square finite matrix
F is also a left inverse. Consequently F is invertible and has ∥x∥2 ≤W∥Fx∥2, hence R ≥W −1I.
An independent analytic row estimate supplies the upper bound. This is a full three-form bound,
not merely a curl-image bound. The rebased identity is
B[Y −T ∗XT −b−1d1d∗
1]B = d∗
2Rd2.
Indeed substitute Y = B0+lR∗
0R0, X = b0+mF ∗
0 F0, the unamended defect R∗
0V R0 and SR0 = F0T,
so the bracket is R∗
0(V + lI −mS∗S)R0. Then use R0B = Fd2 and symmetry of B. The exterior
lifts, regular symbols and analytic inverse bounds of this section construct B0, b0, S and F with
the estimates used here. These are the source’s amended inverse metrics and installed response; no
arbitrary extension is substituted.
For M ≥b0I and 0 < c ≤b0/2, the residual M −cI ≥b0I/2 has a real analytic root row F.
Subtracting the constant row cI supplies its analytic strip bound. On each finite torus F ∗F =
M −cI, so the augmented row has the exact Gram identity
(√cI, F)∗(√cI, F) = cI + F ∗F = M.
The allowed upper cap of c is half a uniform positive metric lower bound.
To retain the root
construction, let Q have strip η, weighted coefficient bound A ≥v > 0 and real symbols vI ≤
Q ≤AI. With D = A/(η/2) and fixed entrywise-to-operator norm factor C > 1, choose τ =
min(η/2, v/(2CD)). On the real axis, unitary diagonalization gives ∥A−1Q(p) −I∥≤1 −v/A.
Differentiating the absolutely convergent Fourier series on the smaller strip η/2 gives the entrywise
symbol-difference bound with constant D. Take C to be one plus the norm of the fixed identification
from entrywise matrices to operator norm.
Comparison with Re p in the width-τ collar gives
∥Q(p) −Q(Re p)∥≤v/2, and therefore ∥A−1Q(p) −I∥≤1 −v/(2A) < 1 uniformly. Thus
P =

(A−1Q −I)n
is a uniformly bounded holomorphic periodic branch, equal to the positive square root on real
momentum by diagonalization of the series.
In particular P(p)∗= P(p), P(p)2 = Q(p) and
√vI ≤P(p) ≤

AI there.
Reality of the original Laurent coefficients preserves this branch
under conjugation at opposite real momenta. Fourier inversion, taking real parts of the coefficients,
thus recovers the same real-axis function. Shift each integration contour within the collar. With
output width e = τ/3, a further width e remains to sum absolute coefficients. In four dimensions
this gives a weighted coefficient sum at most K[2(1 + e)/e]4, where K bounds the entries of P on
the collar. These constants depend only on v, A, η and the fixed matrix size, independently of the
finite period. Discrete Fourier diagonalization proves P ∗
torus = Ptorus and P ∗
torusPtorus = Qtorus for
every period: the real-axis identity holds at every discrete frequency, and the invertible discrete
Fourier matrix transfers it to real coordinate matrices. Thus the factorization and analytic decay
hold simultaneously for every period, as required in the bottom construction. This reduces the
remaining root step to the analytic square-root construction, rather than assuming a factorization
with the desired decay. Intersecting finitely many positive widths and enlarging the common cost
pays the metric, inverse, diagonal, dual diagonal and root rows. The resulting bed satisfies the
required finite-torus floor identities and bounds for every permitted train. The lift transports these
full-space bounds on their declared section, retaining each original inverse and norm.

Full-space correction and root recovery.
For each physical exterior degree r retain a section
jr and readout pr with prjr = I. The full three-form bound is recovered on j3H3, where H3 is the
entire original three-form space:

3Ap3j3x⟩= ⟨x, Ax⟩≥∥x∥2
(x ∈H3).
Here the pairing denotes the pulled-back form evaluated on the section. Thus every original three-
form vector is included, while the redundant vertical kernel is allowed. Transport exterior maps as
jr+1drpr and the installed response by its corresponding operator lift. Restrict pulled-back metric
forms to their sections before composing the rebased identity. Every intermediate prjr cancels,
and the result is exactly B[Y −T ∗XT −b−1d1d∗

2Rd2 in the physical metrics. The original
inverse bound for F is used on its physical full space; no inverse of p∗
3Ap3 on redundant coordinates
is introduced.
For the residual metric root, retain the physical output coordinates of the row F and realize it
as F Z = Fp. Its augmented row is HZ = (√c p, Fp), so
(HZ)∗HZ = p∗(cI + F ∗F)p = p∗Mp,
HZj = (√cI, F).
This is a factorization of the pulled-back metric form. Separately, if P is the positive analytic square-
root operator of Q, its operator realization is P Z = jPp. It satisfies (P Z)2 = jQp and pP Zj = P.
In the transported section metric it recovers the original positive self-adjoint root; no choice of
an ambient redundant-coordinate inner product is implicit. The root branch, collar and Laurent
coefficients are the original retained analytic data. At each period the same row factorization and
section identities recover the torus Gram identity, with precisely the original widths and costs on
the physical section.

Both line functions equal one at zero. Geometric summation, including the zero set by the poly-
nomial identity, gives MRM(z)(eiz −1) = eiMz −1. Splitting the integer index as Mu + v gives
RL(Mz)RM(z) = RLM(z). For odd L, M, the centers obey M⌊L/2⌋+ ⌊M/2⌋= ⌊LM/2⌋, giv-
ing PL(Mz)PM(z) = PLM(z).
Center reflection and conjugation give PM(−z) = PM(z) and
PM(z) = PM(− ̄z).
A train descends through smoothing indices which stay fixed or decrease by one backwards, and
its mass is the product of its odd block lengths. A terminal train has mass and smoothing function
one. At a hop of block L from index J to j, j ≤J ≤j + 1, the new mass is L mass(v) and its
smoothing function becomes AL(mass(v)p)J smoothv(p). Equivalently,
smoothv = Aj
mass(v) extrav,
extranew = AJ−j
L mass(v) extrav .
On | Im pa| < ζ/H, finite sums give |AM(p)| ≤e4ζM/H.
This latter representation separates
the fixed stage power from the extra smoothing inserted at stage changes. Masses grow by fac-
tors at least three, and the extra exponent is zero or one, so summing the geometric mass series
gives | extrav(p)| ≤e8ζ mass(v)/H for mass at most H. The real principal estimate |PM(pa/H)| ≥
e−cM/H yields the companion extra lower bound e−8c mass(v)/H and hence a positive lower bound

for | smoothv(p/ mass(v))| depending only on j, ζ, c, independently of chain length. The normalized
finite-sum proof of the scalar lower estimate is retained in the cumulative-filter argument (QF1)–
(QF4).
At aliases ql = (p + 2π lift(l))/ mass(v), inverse-linear coordinate decay of the principal factor
and the extra upper bound give
| smoothv(ql)| ≤Cj
Y
a
(1 + | lift(l)a|)−j,
with the source’s up-normalization where required. The supremum coordinate weight grade(l) is at
most mix(l), since all remaining factors are at least one. This pays the high-alias sums; the nonzero-
alias reciprocal estimate supplies the corresponding bound for RM. These are actual patch weights:
J independent centered box rolls have symbol AJ
L, counting multiplicities even when displacements
coincide. A positive length-L line path has Fourier sum LRL(qa), so the defined directional patch
mean is exactly
LAL(q)JRL(qa).
Applying the mean to each discrete Fourier basis vector proves this formula. The factor L counts
edge occurrences.
Paths wrapping around a small torus still count every edge occurrence; the
Fourier computation does not require that the path visit distinct sites. The realized block operation
is the same tagged path sum under readout, and therefore retains both this factor and all roll
multiplicities; a normalized point average would be a different operation. For clarity, the smoothing
recurrence also has an explicit source–readout recovery. At every train retain the ordered list of
box-roll displacements, with their multiplicities, and the ordered edge occurrences of each line
path in the source operation. On the physical tangent section let Av be the corresponding finite
convolution, with lifted response e
Av = jAvp. Since pj = I, successive lifted responses satisfy
(jA1p)(jA2p) = jA1A2p,
p e
Avj = Av.
Thus Fourier evaluation after recovery gives exactly the scalar smoothing recurrence above, with
the same terminal value and mass recursion. Applying this equality to each finite Fourier basis
vector recovers the patch mean, including L, even on wrapping paths. The norm used for these
smoothing bounds is the transported physical-section norm; the recovery does not add a bound
on vertical frame directions. Scalar color-independent multipliers retain the original color identity
factor. Hence neither source lifting nor recovery changes the smoothing stage, the alias coordinate,
the history length independence of the bounds, or the occurrence counts.

Uniform reciprocals and carried residue differences
A real lower bound must be extended to a common complex collar before inversion. Suppose fξ
is holomorphic with |fξ| ≤Cwξ on a complex cube of width η and |fξ| ≥cwξ on the real cube of
width θ, with C, c > 0 and wξ > 0. For
r = min(η/4, θ, cη/(8C)),
For p in the width-r cube, the radius-η/2 ball about y = Re p stays in the original cube. Apply
Cauchy’s estimate along the line from y to p, using |fξ(z) −fξ(y)| ≤2Cwξ on that ball. This gives
|fξ(p) −fξ(y)| ≤(4Cwξ/η)|p −y| ≤cwξ/2. Thus |fξ(p)| ≥cwξ/2 and the reciprocal is holomorphic
and bounded by 2/(cwξ) on a collar independent of ξ. This proves the reciprocal step used for the
scalar factors without inferring complex nonvanishing merely from real positivity.

M,L,l| ≤C′ grade(l)−2. The
principal alias satisfies BM,L,0 = λLM and is not inverted on a collar containing zero.

Centered representatives are injective, so each one-dimensional finite sum is bounded by the full
integer series, and the finite four-dimensional sum factors coordinatewise. This proves the decay
summation used in the earlier feed and high-alias estimates, without paying a factor equal to the
number L4 of residues. Hence no factor L4 is paid. For u ≥0, the displayed absorption inequality
follows by taking the uth power of grade ≤mix. A secured fine-difference word u contributes
CL−|u| grade(l)|u|, its toll L−e, and a uniformly bounded residue phase, because the residue coordi-
nates have size at most L and | Im qa| ≤ζ/L. Its symbol contributes decayj(l). For j −|u| ≥2 the
residue sum costs C′L−(e+|u|). Alias permutation proves periodicity; reflection/conjugation gives
real coefficients, and a narrower collar gives the priced Fourier rows. The regular coefficient and
symmetry arguments supply these secured bounds for the actual pilot and wire symbols.
The scalar average bounds follow directly because χ(z)/z extends with value i and is nonzero
on |z| ≤3π/2: there is no zero on that disk because eiz = 1 requires z to be a real multiple
of 2π. Compactness gives c−|z| ≤|χ(z)| ≤c+|z|. Geometric summation yields |RM(z)| ≥a0 =
min(1, c−/c+) when M|z| ≤3π/2. For real z with H|z| ≤3π/2, M ≤H, finite centered sums
give |PM(z) −1| ≤kM/H, k = c+(3π/2). If y = |PM(z)|, then y ≥a0 and 1 ≤y + kM/H, and
ekM/(a0H) ≥1 + kM/(a0H), whence yekM/(a0H) ≥y + kM/H ≥1. This proves the principal lower
estimate with leading constant one.
For centered nonzero alias q = (p + 2πl)/L, the chosen cube gives L|q| ≥ζ(1 + |l|), L| Im q| ≤ζ,
|q| ≤3π/2, with ζ = π/4 and odd L ≥3. Separate the real shift 2πl from | Re p| ≤π + ζ to
obtain these inequalities. The identity χ(p + 2πl) = χ(p) gives L|RL(q)|c−|q| ≤c+(3π/2), hence
inverse-alias decay. At l = 0 the finite sum bounds RL by eζ; centering costs at most another eζ.
Coordinate products supply the four-dimensional bound. The remaining alias work concerns the
Laplacian denominator and the summation of the chosen decay weights.
For actual carried cross-row differences, write a fine site as centered residue r and coarse dis-
placement. A positive step has carry ca(r) = ea exactly at lift(r)a = ⌊L/2⌋, and zero otherwise.
The identity
lift(r + ea) + Lca(r) = lift(r) + ea
introduces the phase eip·ca(r) in the advanced residue.
Subtracting the original gives the alias
multiplier eiqa −1; iteration gives the product for any word of fine differences. Fourier inversion
identifies the priced symbols with these actual carried differences. This identity follows from the real

sums, rather than treating a residue wrap as an ordinary shift within the same copy. Intersecting
the finitely many widths for words of length at most j −2 and enlarging their costs gives one table
with cross-row bound CL−(e+length(u)), uniform over flights at the fixed smoothing indices. The
regular coefficient bounds and inverse-third-power estimate below provide the analytic bound for
these secured symbols. The lift retains the same residue and carry records, so it does not turn
wrapping into an uncarried shift or invert the excluded principal zero.
11.6
Laurent exterior division
Set qs(p) = eips −1 and let δr be exterior multiplication by q on degree-r forms. For a lattice
monomial ex, Es sets its s-coordinate to zero. Define Jsex by summing the monomials with that
coordinate 0, . . . , xs −1 for xs ≥0, and minus those with coordinate xs, . . . , −1 otherwise, retaining
the other coordinates. Telescoping gives
qsJsex = ex −Esex.
The interval defining Js has |xs| terms, each with length at most |x|1. A width-η coefficient bound
P
x |ax|eη|x|1 ≤C is preserved by Es. For θ = η/2, |xs|eθ|x|1 ≤θ−1eη|x|1, so Js has width-η/2
bound 2C/η. This proves absolute convergence of the transformed rows, which licenses termwise
telescoping and the identity qsJsA = A −EsA, including qs = 0.
Suppose A maps degree-(r + 1) forms to a fixed coordinate space and Aδr = 0.
Let Lr(s)
denote multiplication by the s-th exterior basis vector.
Define relief As = (JsA)Lr+1(s)∗and
residual Rs = (EsA)[I −Lr(s)Lr(s)∗], namely evaluation at ps = 0 followed by deletion of columns
whose orientation contains s. The contraction identity
Lr+1(s)∗δr+1 = qsI −δrLr(s)∗,
δr(p) = δr(p|ps=0) + qsLr(s)
gives Asδr+1 + Rs = A: multiply by qs and cancel where nonzero, then extend by continuity to
its zero hyperplane. Also Rsδr = 0 by exterior nilpotency. Apply the four axes in order to the
preceding residual. Columns containing a processed axis vanish thereafter, and a previously zero
column remains zero. Since every positive-degree orientation contains an axis, the final residual is
zero. Adding reliefs gives Bδr+1 = A with positive analytic width and finite explicit losses, uniform
over every family with a common input coefficient bound. Evaluation gives Btorusdr+1 = Atorus
on every period. Conversely all-period identities give the symbol cycle by Fourier uniqueness; one
period alone is insufficient.
Transposition gives the corresponding left lift. For the two-sided lift of a two-form row retain
both all-period cycle conditions Ad1 = 0 and d∗
1A = 0. First choose d∗
2W = A, put F = Wd1,
and lift d∗
2F = 0 to d∗
3T = F. Here T has degree-four target. The top-degree left-cycle argument
gives Td0 = 0, since d∗
3Td0 = Wd1d0 = 0 and the next exterior space is zero. Right-lift T to
Xd1 = T. Then K = W −d∗
3X obeys Kd1 = 0, d∗
2K = A. A final right lift Bd2 = K gives
d∗
2Bd2 = A. Every operation is a finite composition of these analytic lifts, exterior derivatives,
sums and transposes, hence preserves familywise exponential coefficient decay. This is the exterior
factorization used for the fund; refined block-length powers remain separate quantitative estimates.
Under the source readout, exterior operators and their ordered compositions use the transported
section. No pointwise quotient by qs at zero is introduced, and the two-sided correction is retained
rather than replacing it by an arbitrary one-sided lift. The recovery can be expressed degree by
degree. For the original degree-k coordinate space Vk, use its declared source section jk : Vk →Zk
and readout pk : Zk →Vk, with pkjk = I. On a form space with no redundant frame coordinates

these can be the identity; on the potential space they are the tangent maps already constructed.
Put
edk = jk+1dkpk,
eB = j3Bp3,
eA = j2Ap2.
Use the transported section inner products for adjoints.
Then the ordered source composition
satisfies
ed †
2 eB ed2 = j2(d∗
2Bd2)p2 = eA,
p2 eAj2 = A.
Here † is the section adjoint, and the equality is on the declared sections. The coefficient operations
Es, Js act before realization on the same Laurent coefficient arrays, retaining every orientation and
signed interval. Recovery therefore returns their termwise telescoping identities, including the zero
hyperplanes. The section norm is transported from the physical coordinate norm, so the coefficient-
width losses and their familywise uniformity are unchanged. This provides an explicit recovery of
the two-sided factorization and does not assert coercivity or an adjoint identity in unused vertical
directions.

(Q2)
The vault diagonal on orientation {a, c} is hgagc and pulse is its reciprocal, with off-diagonal entries
zero. Their analytic definitions give ga(0) = h(0) = 1, without a separate harmonic replacement.
On the real cube la > 0, ra ≥0 imply ga ≥la. If ga ≤C, Q2 and the Laplacian comparisons imply
h ≥c2
−/(Cc2

−/(Cc2

0. Thus both metrics are real diagonal positive mutual inverses. Uniform bounds and positive
lower bounds for ga, h give bounds for their reciprocals and finite products on a common smaller
holomorphic collar.
Taking Fourier coefficients gives exponentially decaying metric and inverse
rows.
Away from zero, Da = ga/λM and ρ = P

a /Da = λ2
Mh give vault = ρ mask2(Da) and pulse

through the apparent pole.
At the top train Da = λ−1
1
and ρ = λ2
1, giving identity two-form
symbols and the bare Wilson precision.
The centered-average, nonzero-alias and cumulative-filter estimates supply the smoothing, re-
mainder and scale-uniform Laplacian comparison bounds used in Q2. The part of the analytic
bound that accounts for arbitrarily long histories is the nozzle weight. Let t(v) be the sum of
mass−2 over the nozzle list. Each old mass is multiplied by L under a hop and a new mass-one
train is added.
Thus long histories are controlled by the nozzle weight recurrence t(top) = 0,
t(hop(v)) = 1 + L−2t(v). Since L ≥3, induction gives t(v) ≤2: from t(v) ≤2 the next value is at
most 1 + 2/9 ≤2. Each feed costs at most C mass−2, so levelNoise costs at most 2C independently
of depth; in particular, the constants do not accumulate one unweighted term per renormalization

step. For j ≥4 high-alias smoothing decay times the inverse-square grade divisor is dominated
by the summable order-two reference decay. The finite alias sum has a bound independent of its
side length, using the alias rail, inverse-divisor and reference decay-sum estimates; their scalar for-
mulas are derived in the cumulative-filter construction (QF1)–(QF9) below. This gives the feed
mass bound and, with b−1 levelNoise, the drain bound. The lid is the product of the drive at p/M
and −p/M. Positive smoothing and rail lower bounds therefore give a positive lid lower bound,
and similarly a positive halo lower bound; bounded drain and λM bound ga above. The rational
expression for h then has only uniformly separated denominators. No bound on 1/λM at zero is
used.
For the unamended metric H and B = H−1 set
X = d2B,
A = B + lX∗X,
G = A−1,
R = I + ld2Bd∗
2,
D = R−1,
l ≥0.
On every finite torus H, B are symmetric positive matrices. The supplied pledge, amend, bail and
treble rows represent A, G, R, D, respectively. Positivity gives A > 0 and R ≥I, so their analytic
inverses G and D exist with uniform narrower strip bounds. Exterior nilpotency gives XHd1 = 0,
hence AHd1 = d1, Gd1 = Hd1 and
d∗
1Gd1 = d∗
1Hd1.
The amendment changes the extension on two-forms while preserving the potential precision. Also
RX = d2A implies XG = Dd2. At zero d2 = 0 and B(0) = I give G(0) = I.
The inversion applies to both G and D. Uniform inversion is in fixed orientation dimension
s, independently of the site count: vI ≤A(p) ≤CI gives | det A| ≥vs and C−1I ≤A−1 ≤
v−1I by diagonalization. Analytic coefficient bounds control the determinant change from the real
slice; choose a common smaller collar losing at most half its positive real lower bound. Adjugate
over determinant gives a uniformly bounded holomorphic inverse, preserving periodicity and real
coefficients. Fourier decay and discrete evaluation give the inverse at every period. All spectral
bounds transfer with the discrete Fourier Gram factor n4, which cancels from both sides, including
at side one.
To recover the metric and its inverse without confusing forms with responses, retain the degree-
two section maps j2, p2. The metric form on redundant coordinates is H = p∗
2Hp2; its null space
is ker p2 because H > 0. Its restriction to the section is positive, with j∗
2Hj2 = H. The inverse
response on that section is eB = j2Bp2, so p2 eBj2 = B. Using the transported section inner product,
the amended source responses are
eA = j2Ap2,
eG = j2Gp2,
eA eG = eG eA = j2p2.
Thus their product is the section identity; it is not an asserted inverse on redundant vertical
directions.
Recovering the precision identity gives exactly d∗
1Gd1 = d∗
1Hd1.
The origin value,
finite-torus inversion and all physical-section spectral bounds survive because the readout and
section compositions recover their original matrices.
The analytic and history estimates above
continue to concern the original orientation-sized symbols before realization, preserving their period
independence.
For constant-curvature transport, an ordinary Laurent row has spatial sum its zero symbol.
Installed responses additionally depend on the initial residue.
The duo response has at every
residue the same zero entry toll(L, 2)I: nonzero aliases vanish and the principal alias is normalized.
For orientation-valued total sums s, t of rows S, T, absolute convergence gives total sum st for their
convolution, in that order. Sandwiching this response by the fine inverse and coarse metric therefore
preserves residue-independent spatial sums, establishing travels_route, the travels property used

in neutral propagation. The regular wire formulas and their explicit harmonic values supply the
alias vanishing and normalization. For an installed cross row, the starting site also has a residue
modulo the block length. The lift retains these orientation/residue records and the exact precision
identity; equality on curls is not promoted to equality of arbitrary two-form extensions.
11.8
Defect factorization and finite-horizon assembly
On a coarse torus set V = B1−T ∗B2T −b−1d1d∗
1 and M = H1V H1, where Bi = H−1
i
, the subscript
one denotes coarse data, two denotes fine data, T is the installed response, and b > 0. The actual
stationary identities
TH1d1 = H2e1A0,
T ∗e1 = d1Q,
QA0 = I −b−1d∗
1H1d1
give the explicit intermediate identity
T ∗B2TH1d1 = d1[I −b−1d∗
1H1d1],
and hence V H1d1 = 0. Thus Md1 = d∗
1M = 0, and the two-sided analytic lift gives d∗
2Fd2 =
M.
Replace F by (F + F ∗)/2, retaining the identity and making its real symbols Hermitian.
Multiplication by B1 on both sides gives
V = (d2B1)∗F(d2B1).
This is the fund used in the positive correction. Similarly e2B2TH1 annihilates d1, because TH1d1 =
H2e1A0 and e2e1 = 0; hence a right lift gives Sd2 = e2B2TH1, or Sd2B1 = e2B2T. Analytic losses
remain paid through the two exterior lifts, symmetrization and the surrounding bounded rows. The
refined fine-difference estimate supplies the inverse-third-power residue price and, after summation,
the separate L−2 estimate on S∗S; algebraic factorization alone does not supply that power.
Choose the retained-support stage data before eventual block lengths.
For legal neighbors
j, t ≥4 with t = j or t + 1 = j, the flight gives a coarse-floor threshold δ(j, t). Taking l(i) =
max(δ(i, i), δ(i + 1, i)) pays both incoming possibilities. With fine and coarse parameters l(j), l(t)
fixed, each legal pair supplies its positive analytic width, positive coercivity parameter, cost and
integer block threshold. At each stage also choose the positive clip cap and bottom metric estimates.
For the bottom and two outgoing possibilities take minima of positive widths/coercivities and
maxima of costs/length demands. Weakening these bounds preserves each estimate. Backwards
from the terminal train construct RN,i as each prescribed landing train, choose its metric bed with
l(J(i)) and its specified duo tower. The identity RN,i = land(destination(N, i)) aligns those choices.
The fixed penalty is the same in the chosen tower. Tangent flight equations give the primal and
dual stationary identities on every scheduled finite torus; the rebased equation gives the associated
inverse and error data. Bottom and transition bounds together with terminal normalization form
the linear horizon. Pinning arranges the additional horizon conditions for the given sheet profile
while retaining the beds and required tower components, hence retains the destination equalities and
supplies Present and H.Suffices. This finite assembly uses, rather than replaces, the bottom, flight
and pinning analytic estimates; these are proved in the harmonic, positive-margin and auxiliary-
tower arguments of this section (Subsections 11.9, 11.11 and 11.12), and the common price table
is assembled from the metric, positive-margin and flight estimates established there.
11.9
Harmonic values and Fourier normalization
At p = 0 exterior signals vanish, bulb and bend are one, and principal patch multipliers are identity,
giving filled pilot and wire value I. At each nonprincipal alias of zero, a nonzero residue coordinate

has LRL(qa)χ(qa) = χ(0) = 0 with χ(qa) ̸= 0. Its positive-power box filter vanishes. The pilot
leading term contains S = 0, and its correction contains the zero coarse longitudinal row. The
wire’s first term contains the zero coarse adjoint derivative, while its second contains the vanishing
flux. These explicit values prove the harmonic symbol equations without deleting that fibre.
If AG = Fa, FF ∗= F ∗F = vI and GG∗= G∗G = uI, taking adjoints and multiplying
gives A∗F = G[(v/u)a∗]. Equal representations imply equal real matrices by invertibility of G.
Products and differences transfer to products and differences of the symbol matrices whenever the
intermediate Fourier matrices coincide. Equality follows because the difference of the represented
real matrices annihilates the invertible matrix G. For coarse side c, the Gram scalar is c4; for fine
side f = cL, it is f4. Their ratio is c4/f4 = L−4. The block mean itself carries L, so its transpose
mean alias column is L−3V1(ql), while installed A0, T columns are L−1 pilotl, L−2 wirel. The fine
derivative is L−1d(L) and precision L−2Kl. Restoring these factors gives
QfA0 = mean∗Qc,
mean A0 = I −b−1Qc,
T ∗df = dc mean,
THcdc = HfdfA0.
The residue sum represents the alias Fourier matrix times the stacked column, and evaluation at
each coarse discrete frequency, followed by invertibility of the finite Fourier matrices, proves the
real identities at every period.
Together with amended-metric preservation and pinning, these
supply the linear horizons for the flat entrance estimate. The cumulative-filter section supplies the
scalar covariance feedback and train identities used here. The lift retains harmonic values, residue
installation and Fourier Gram scalars together. It therefore recovers these finite-horizon equations
with their actual normalization, rather than only a punctured-momentum surrogate.

The filled pilot and wire equal these regular-set formulas away from the puncture. Their continuity
extends the equations through zero with the explicitly retained harmonic values. The installed tolls
L−1, L−2, L−3 and Fourier Gram ratio L−4 restore precisely the finite primal, dual and transport
identities; the Fourier transfer of Subsection 11.9 restores these factors and proves the asserted real
matrix identities at every period. The lift carries these same ordered exterior operations and alias
data; it does not reinterpret analytic transpose as complex conjugation away from the real slice.
11.11
Positive extension and the complete tower Gram identity
Suppose the analytic Hermitian three-form symbol Q obeys ⟨d2a, Qd2a⟩≥v∥d2a∥2 on real momenta.
This controls every vector at zero: for a complex three-form x, the real-linear map n 7→(in) ∧x
from R4 to the complex one-dimensional top space has a nonzero real kernel vector n. Exterior
contraction gives x = (in) ∧a. Since q(tn)/t →in, the vectors d2(tn)(a/t) converge to x. Apply
the assumed image inequality to these vectors and pass to the limit; continuity yields Q(0) ≥vI.
Increase its analytic coefficient bound C ≥0 to a positive number if necessary. With C > 0
and N the fixed orientation constant, choose δ = ηv/(2N2C). The departure estimate bounds each
entry of Q(p) −Q(0) by δC/η, and hence gives Q(p) ≥vI/2 when every |qa(p)| ≤δ. Else choose k
with |qk| > δ and decompose
x = y + z,
y = d2(q−1
k ιkx),
z = q−1
k ιkd3x,
∥z∥2 ≤Nδ−2∥d3x∥2.
With M = N2C, the quadratic form first obeys
⟨x, Qx⟩≥v∥y∥2 −2M∥y∥∥z∥−M∥z∥2.
The cross-term estimate then gives ⟨x, Qx⟩≥(v/2)∥y∥2 −(M +2M2/v)∥z∥2. Since ∥x∥2 ≤2∥y∥2 +
2∥z∥2, adding

gives a global floor vI/4. Near zero it adds a nonnegative form. This finite-support correction has
a common analytic bound and preserves d∗
2Qd2 by d3d2 = 0. Increasing the upper cost therefore
yields the uniformly positive full-space row with exactly the original curvature contraction on every
period, as required in pinning.
On a fixed pair of tori let d, d′ be the fine and coarse first derivatives and e the coarse second
derivative. For the tower retain fine and coarse full Gram factors W = J∗J, W ′ = J′∗J′, inverses
R, R′ and penalty square root s =
√
b. The factorized inverse defect is
W ′ZW ′ = e∗P ∗Pe,
Z = R′ −T ∗RT −b−1d′d′∗.
Put Q = J′R′J′∗, X = PeR′J′∗and
M = JRTJ′∗,
N = s−1d′∗J′∗,
O = stack(I −Q, X).
Then Q∗= Q, Q2 = Q, QJ′ = J′, and multiplication gives
M∗M = J′T ∗RTJ′∗,
N∗N = J′b−1d′d′∗J′∗,
O∗O = I −Q + J′ZJ′∗.
Substitute Z and Q in their sum to get M∗M + N∗N + O∗O = I on the entire stack source,
including harmonic coordinates. The actual transport identities TW ′d′ = WdA0, T ∗d = d′ mean
further give
MJ′d′ = JdA0,
M ∗Jd + N∗(−s mean) = 0,
sN∗= J′d′,
NJ′d′ = s−1d′∗W ′d′,
OJ′d′ = 0.
The last uses (I −Q)J′ = 0 and ed′ = 0. These are exact roll identities, not spectral estimates.
Weighted convolution at γ = min(σf, σc, ν) > 0 supplies the analytic bounds.
The full J
stacks √clip. directI and its root row, with bound max(√clip. direct, rootCost). For derivatives the
period-independent bound is the finite sum of eγ|z|1 times the absolute stencil coefficients over all
orientations and stencil sites. Transposition preserves this bound. Composition of two rows with an
intermediate orientation space of size n costs at most n times the product of their entrywise weighted
bounds, by the distance triangle inequality and absolute convergence. Apply the convolution rule
in order to JR, then its composition with T, then multiplication by J′∗. The mixed row thus
retains its L−2 factor, normal and image rows have length-independent bounds, and stacking takes
the maximum. Choose one upper price covering these constants and all original donated prices.
Keeping A0, T literally unchanged preserves the donated carried-difference bounds L−(1+order) and
L−(2+order) at the smaller width and larger price. This is F08; the exact roll equations above give
F09 independently of these estimates. Under readout this entire Gram identity is transported on
the same section; no component or harmonic coordinate is dropped to obtain positivity.
11.12
Pinning, coefficient symmetries and the inverse-third-power price
Pinning changes only auxiliary tower rows. At a transition assume the beds Hf, Hc have uniform
analytic bounds and positive floors, A0, T have their fine-difference bounds, and the inverse defect is
d∗
2Cd2 with C analytic and positive on the d2 image. Extend the defect’s three-form row positively
without changing its d2 contraction, take its analytic root P, and form
FfBfTF ∗

b−1/2d∗
1F ∗

stack(I −FcBcF ∗
c , Pd2BcF ∗
c ).
Here Ff, Fc are the full two-form Gram factors of the beds and Bf, Bc their inverse metrics; A0, T
are retained literally. These formulas are supplied by common cover rows for all periods. The

auxiliary-row construction supplies a positive width and common costs, including the required fine
differences. Their analytic prices are chosen from the fixed clip profiles, estimates and penalty
before the particular block length. For each smoothing index first apply positive extension and
the analytic root, then choose auxiliary-row prices for each of the two adjacent-stage possibilities.
Intersect those widths with the original width and maximize costs. Selecting the corresponding
tower at each transition gives the full horizon conditions at these new prices. The Gram proof
supplies the roll equations, while unchanged beds and A0, T retain terminal normalization, crossings
and floor bounds.
Pilot and wire coefficient bounds use one output cube before L is chosen. The mass filter costs
C decayj(l) with positive principal lower bound; rails have common upper and positive principal
lower bounds. At nonzero aliases Dl,a and R−1
l
cost respectively C grade(l)−2 and C grade(l)−4; the
seed representation bounds S. The inverse-alias bounds use the common-collar reciprocal argument
and the bulb and bend bounds.
The sums H, Ta contain two smoothing factors, contributing
decay2j, while each D contributes another inverse grade squared. Each resulting weight is bounded
above by decay2 for j ≥4, whose uniform finite-alias sum pays both sums. The quantity U =
|m(q0)|2 P
a fa + SH is bounded above and has a positive real lower bound from its principal filter
and one fa, all summands being nonnegative. The common-collar lemma bounds U−1 and hence
the source rests, fled and gains in fixed orientation dimension.
For the wire, Λ contains only controlled inverse principal filter and rail factors; B, M, y are
bounded products and sums. At nonzero aliases the first stake has one grade-one signal, grade-
minus-two covariance and smoothing flux; the second has two smoothing factors, grade-minus-four
inverse, bounded coarse notch and another flux. Each is bounded by C decayj. This proves the
asserted per-alias wire bound with constants chosen before L. Periodic regular covariances and
patch identities show that a coarse shift 2πx permutes aliases by l 7→l + wrapL(x). For x ̸= 0, if
both momenta lie in the enlarged real cube neither is zero, so the original regular-set stationary
matching formulas apply on both sides. For x = 0 the overlap identity is immediate. Reflection
follows by even scalar symbols and conjugation of Fourier rows/exterior matrices. At zero use the
explicit principal and vanishing nonprincipal branches. Thus pilot(p, l) = pilot(−p, −l) and likewise
wire. These are the relay and reflection properties required for the secured symbols and license the
common-collar Fourier export of the residue sums.
Finally buckle is the secured product vault(wing, ql) wire(p, l) with toll L−2.
Vault and its
overlap identities preserve securedness.
Thus one actual carried fine difference has exponential
coefficient bound CL−3.
Its fine curl sums four directions and fixed two-form incidence signs,
costing at most 4|Faces2|CL−3; this constant uses only orientation counts and introduces no residue
factor. Multiplying by the bounded coarse metric and applying the coarse-column exterior right lift
retains the prefactor, so sale costs C′L−3 per residue. Its Gram sum has L4 residues and therefore
costs C′′L4(L−3)2 = C′′L−2. This is the precise inverse-square scale used in the positive three-form
absorption. The fine difference is taken before the lift and norm estimate; applying an ordinary
unweighted bound before the fine difference would lose this power. Readout preserves this order
and the actual carried stencil, so no lost block power is replaced by an unproved estimate.
Recovery of the assembled and pinned tower.
Retain the ordered finite schedule, train at
every level, metric beds, penalty and response rows as one realized history. Stagewise minima of
positive widths and maxima of costs are scalar readers on this record, so their recovery keeps the
parameter order and both adjacent stage possibilities. Pinning acts on the auxiliary rows of that
same history and leaves its declared beds, A0 and T literally fixed. For the full physical source H
of a tower stack and its three output spaces Ha, choose sections j, ja and readouts p, pa with pj = I

Thus the entire original stack source, including harmonic coordinates, is recovered. The identity
jp acts on the retained section; it need not be the identity on unused redundant directions. Equiv-
alently, keeping physical output rows Uap yields Gram form p∗p. Every roll equation recovers by
the same intermediate section cancellations and the same real-slice adjoints. The positive exten-
sion Q 7→Q + rd∗
3d3 preserves its curvature contraction under recovery since d3d2 = 0; its full
physical three-form lower bound and root are recovered as in the preceding constructions. Fourier
normalizations are evaluated before this transport, retaining each coarse/fine volume factor and
each installed toll. Consequently the assembled horizon retains its stationary equations, terminal
normalization, crossings and donated fine differences, with the original widths and prices in the
transported physical norms.
11.13
Filling the principal-alias pilot
For a flight put ql = (p + 2π lift(l))/L, q0 = p/L, S = λmass(land)(p), ga = bulb(land, p, a), h =
bend(land, p).
Retain m(q) = massFilter(q) and fa = bulb(wing, q0, a).
For l ̸= 0 set Dl,a =
bulb(wing, ql, a)/ blow(mass(wing), p, l) and
Ta =

Away from zero U is S times the original weighted covariance sum. Its first real term has a positive
lower bound and the second is nonnegative. The earlier alias estimates bound H, Ta, U on a common
collar, and the reciprocal lemma bounds U−1 there. Thus U is the regular denominator replacing
the original singular covariance sum.
The regular correction coefficients are

Gl,a = m(−ql)

(l ̸= 0).
Every denominator is regular: ga, m(q0), U and the nonzero-alias blow. Bounds are common for
G0 and C decayj(l) grade(l)−2 otherwise. Algebraically Q3 gives El −rl,a = SGl,a, where El is the
original normalized covariance weight and rl,a its directional rebate; in particular Q3 yields the dis-
played principal formula for G0,a. The isolated longitudinal factor is S−1 times h−1d0(p)∗diag(g−1
a ),
so S cancels before Fourier extraction. The filled pilot correction is
diag(Gl,a)d(L)
0 (ql)h−1d0(p)∗diag(g−1

Its leading term is diag(fa) flux1(q0) diag(g−1

wise. Here the flux is the transpose of the directionwise patch multiplier on one-forms, and d(L)

has its prescribed scaled normalization. For the bound, the leading term has decayj(l), while the
correction has decayj(l) grade(l)−2 times a signal bounded by a constant times grade(l); all remain-
ing factors are uniformly bounded. Since grade(l) ≥1, the correction has the same decayj bound.
This formula supplies the analytic value at zero; no holomorphic extension of the uncancelled iso-
lated longitudinal factor is asserted. This establishes analytic regularity of the filled pilot. Its
inputs are all derived within the construction: the covariance recursion in Subsection 11.15, the
stationary equations in Subsection 11.10, their finite-torus restoration in Subsection 11.9, and the
reciprocal-shift and reflection identities in Subsection 11.12. Together these arguments establish
the analytic predictor and its actual stationary response, including the harmonic fibre. The lifted
statement is accordingly unconditional relative to the supplied construction: the realized predictor
row is the supplied one, and its readout through pfTZ = Tpc (Theorem A.1) recovers the stationary
response on the same domain. The five-row contract of Proposition 11.1 is the form in which these
outputs are consumed by the flat convergence argument. The lift retains this cancellation order. In
particular, realize the already cancelled predictor Afill
l
as jfAfill
l pc. Recovery by pf and jc returns
Afill
l , including its value at zero, because pfjf = pcjc = I. No value for the separate factor S−1 at
zero is needed in either realization or recovery.
11.14
The filled dual predictor on two-forms
Continue the pilot notation, with Hf, Hc the wing/land pulse, d = d1(p), δ = d(L)
1 (q0), Fr = hingesr
and Vr = fluxr, transposed at opposite momentum. Here d∗means the Fourier adjoint on real
momentum and its analytic continuation using −p. Define
Λ = m(q0)−1 mask2(RL(q0,a)−1),
y = |m(q0)|2hc/hf(q0),
xa = Ta/ga,
B = Hf(q0)[diagpairs(xa + xc) −S mask2(x)],
M = diag(ga).
The pair diagonal sums the two coordinate entries for each two-form orientation {a, c}. The prin-
cipal wire is
W0 = yV2(q0) + [BΛdM −Hf(q0)Λd diag(Ta)]d∗.
The pairwise identity 1−mask2(1−Sx) = S[diagpairs(xa +xc)−S mask2(x)], gives, by substituting
Q3 in each two-form diagonal entry,
SB = Hf(q0) −yV2(q0)Hc(p)F2(q0).
Together with F2(q0)Λ = I and F2(q0)δ = dF1(q0) this identifies W0 with the original stationary
dual expression offzero. Every displayed regular factor has a common analytic bound, so the filled
expression extends through zero.
For l ̸= 0 put Rl = blow2
l hf(ql), yl = |m(ql)|2hc/Rl and N = S2I −SHc(p)dMd∗. The actual
stake branches are
Wl = Hf(ql)d(L)
1 (ql) diag(Dl,a)V1(ql)d∗+ ylV2(ql)N.
The identities portD=scaleD, portR=scaleR and N = S2(1−cloud) identify them with the original
dual on the regular set. Only the separated nonprincipal blow is inverted. The nonzero-alias lower
bound gives R−1
l
its grade(l)−4 bound and Dl its grade(l)−2 bound. These, with signal and flux
factors, yield C decayj(l). The previously retained relay/reflection proof exports these bounds to
real Fourier rows. Source readout preserves this branchwise matching and its opposite-momentum
adjoints; regularity of the filled expression does not assert regularity of each uncancelled term in the
original formula. The recovery is applied to the complete regular branch. If Wl maps coarse to fine
two-form coordinates, set f
Wl = jf,2Wlpc,2. Then pf,2f
Wljc,2 = Wl, with the same equality for the

principal value at zero. Every product in the regular matching identities is lifted with the section
and readout of its actual intermediate degree; cancellation of pkjk = I recovers the displayed order
of multiplication. The analytically continued transpose remains the original opposite-momentum
operation before realization, while section adjoints recover the real-slice adjoints. Consequently the
lift preserves the denominators that are separated, the branchwise distinction between l = 0 and
l ̸= 0, and the dependency on the secured relay/reflection bounds. Fourier export is performed
after forming these bounded regular branches.
11.15
Cumulative filters and covariance propagation
A finite history beginning at order j is empty or (L, J; v) with odd L ≥3 and j ≤J ≤j + 1. The
tail v begins at order J. Its mass is Mv, the product of its block sides, with empty mass one. For
centered box filters write AL(p) = Q3
ν=0 pL(pν); odd-side composition is ALM(p) = AL(Mp)AM(p).
Define
E∅= 1,
E(L,J;v) = AJ−j
LMvEv,
Sv = Aj
MvEv.
Then
S(L,J;v)(p) = AL(Mvp)JSv(p).
(QF1)
The exponent J −j is zero or one: only stage changes add extra factors at successive cumulative
lengths, while the principal filter retains exactly its original exponent j. Finite sums and induction
give entire periodic filters, signed-coordinate symmetry, value one at zero and Sv(p) = Sv(− ̄p).
On | Im pν| ≤z/L0, |AM(p)| ≤e4zM/L0; on the fixed real principal domain with M ≤L0,
|AM(p/L0)| ≥e−4cboxM/L0. For a history of total mass Mv ≤L0, cumulative masses increase by at
least three, giving
|Ev(p)| ≤e8zMv/L0,
|Ev(p/L0)| ≥e−8cboxMv/L0.
(QF2)
Indeed a new factor costs 4zMv/L0 and the prior bound at most 8zMv/(3L0); their sum is at most
8zMv/L0. The lower exponent has the identical calculation; absent factors use mass monotonicity.
The principal alias bound |AM(aliasl(p))| ≤B4 mix(l)−1 therefore yields, on taking L0 = Mv in
QF2,
|Sv(aliasl(p))| ≤B4je8z mix(l)−j,
(QF3)
|Sv(p/Mv)| ≥e−4jcbox−8cbox > 0.
(QF4)
All constants depend on the initial order, not depth or total dilation, on the common stated
neighborhood. In particular all alias-filter functions have a common holomorphic neighborhood
and the indicated uniform alias decay.
Retain the longitudinal rail and its opposite-momentum product:
Dv,a = SvrMv(pa),
PL,J,a = AJ
LrL(pa),
Y (f)(p) = f(p)f(−p).
Rail composition gives
D(L,J;v),a(p) = PL,J,a(Mvp)Dv,a(p).
(QF5)
On real momentum Dv,a(−p) = Dv,a(p), so Y (D) = |D|2 ≥0. The propagated alias operator is

F(L,J;v),af = LL,J,a(Fv,af).

The prefactor is exactly M−2
v . The lift retains each history, radix multiplicity and rail in this opera-
tion; normalized Haar frames do not modify its dimensional scaling. These finite alias identities pre-
cede the remaining covariance recursion and its analytic estimates. The radix proof of QF7 substi-
tutes the nested finite sum, factors the outer Y (PL,J,a) by periodicity and uses (LMv)−2 = L−2M−2
v .
The empty propagated operator is the identity. Every step adds an independent local covariance
k−1. Let Nv,a sum the covariances propagated through all prefixes: the empty history has none,
and an extension adds the empty prefix and extends every old prefix by the new patch. Retain
them through
N∅= 0,
N(L,J;v),a = 1 + LL,J,aNv,a,
Dv,a = Fv,a(λ−1) + k−1Nv,a.
Here λ is the initial Wilson quadratic divisor. Linearity and QF7 give the exact feedback
D(L,J;v),a = LL,J,aDv,a + k−1.
(QF8)
All sums are finite; for k > 0 real nonnegativity holds termwise. Alias permutation proves reciprocal
periodicity, evenness and signed-coordinate covariance. This formula accounts for every earlier noise;
retaining only the final noise would give a different covariance.
Separating the principal alias gives, on the regular denominator set,
Dv,a(p) = Y (Dv,a)(p/Mv)
λMv(p)
+ Hv,a(p) + k−1Nv,a(p),
(QF9)
Hv,a(p) =
X
l̸=0
Y (Dv,a)(aliasl(p))
M2v λ(aliasl(p))
.
The principal divisor includes its M2
v scaling. Neither auxiliary divided symbol is declared contin-
uous at harmonic momentum; filled regular formulas supply that reconstruction separately. Both
remainders are nonnegative on real regular momenta, and QF4 gives the nonvanishing principal
numerator.
The filters are literal normalized sums rM = M−1 PM−1
u=0 eiuz and
pM = M−1
M−1

u=0
ei(u−⌊M/2⌋)z.
Partition 0, . . . , LM −1 as Mu + v to obtain rL(Mz)rM(z) = rLM(z). For odd sides, M⌊L/2⌋+
⌊M/2⌋= ⌊LM/2⌋gives the centered composition. The principal lower bound used in (QF2) has
coefficient one in front of its exponential, which is essential for arbitrarily long histories. To retain
it, choose c± > 0 with c−|z| ≤|eiz −1| ≤c+|z| on a disk excluding other exponential zeros. The
quotient extends continuously and is nonzero at zero, so such constants exist. The exact identity
MrM(z)(eiz −1) = eiMz −1 gives |pM(z)| = |rM(z)| ≥c0 = min(1, c−/c+) > 0 for real z with M|z|
in that disk, including zero. If M ≤L0, L0|z| ≤R0, then |pM(z) −1| ≤k0M/L0, k0 = c+R0. With
u = |pM(z)|, x = M/L0, one has u ≥c0, u + k0x ≥1, and, using ey ≥1 + y,
uek0x/c0 ≥u + uk0x/c0 ≥u + k0x ≥1.
Hence u ≥e−(k0/c0)x, giving cbox = k0/c0 with no repeated fixed prefactor below one. Bounding
each centered exponential by eM| Im z| proves the complex upper estimate. The source lift retains
every prefix noise and this principal/remainder decomposition; neither frame integration nor a
change of coordinates discards a covariance contribution.

Local nonlinear geometry and Haar realization
From a linear predictor to an actual group-valued operation.
Quadratic estimates alone
do not define a nonlinear block map. This stage constructs logarithmic charts, local minima and
group-valued predictors, and compares their derivatives with the flat cochain operators. The raw
record retains the chosen chart, branch, guide tree, support, thresholds and all failed-chart flags.
A minimum selected on an allowed branch is a conditional operation; it is not a globally unique
logarithm of every configuration.
For a physical predictor P, an arbitrary coarse frame s gives the realized coarse link Be =
sxP(π(r, A))es−1
y . Its coarse readout is exactly P(π(r, A)). Differentiating this formula includes
the frame response and preserves the physical derivative, as in (RF8). The estimates below control
this actual operation on its specified domains. They also retain literal healthy masks: an indicator’s
boundary is not differentiated as though it were a smooth cutoff. Locality includes the links that
determine the flags. The energy, packet and connected-cover estimates subsequently pay for those
supports and for the off-chart terms. Discarding a branch, a flag or a path before its estimate is
obtained would change the operation being recovered.
Work in the closed matrix image of the compact gauge group. Its real Lie algebra consists of
the matrices X for which exp(tX) belongs to that image for every real t. Let N be the orthogonal
complement of this real Lie algebra in the ambient real matrix space. If nonzero Xj →0, exp Xj ∈G
and Xj/∥Xj∥→u, take kj = ⌊t/∥Xj∥⌋for t ≥0. Then kj∥Xj∥→t and exp(kjXj) = (exp Xj)kj →
exp(tu) ∈G by closedness; inversion covers negative t. Thus u is in the Lie algebra. Consequently
small n ∈N with exp n ∈G must be zero: otherwise normalized directions have a unit subsequential
limit in both N and the algebra.
Identify the color space linearly with the Lie algebra, writing C(a) for that identification. The
map (a, n) 7→exp(C(a)) exp n has invertible derivative C(a) + n at zero. Its local smooth ambient
inverse defines the color component logG. For a nearby group element its normal component van-
ishes by the preceding isolation. Thus logG(exp(C(a))) = a for small a. Conversely, if g has inverse
coordinates (a, n), then exp n = exp(−C(a))g ∈G with n small, so n = 0 and exp(C(logG g)) = g.
Shrinking the color ball gives an open exponential image in G, since the continuous inverse sends
a group neighborhood of each image point back into the ball. This requires neither connectedness
of G nor a global logarithm.
Define Fu(a) = logG(u exp(C(a))) on its chart domain, A(a) = DFexp(−C(a))(a) and J(a) =
det A(a).
Smoothness and the identity germ give J(0) = 1.
If b = Fu(a), the germ identity
Fexp(−C(a)) = Fexp(−C(b)) ◦Fu yields
J(b) det DFu(a) = J(a).
Shrink the ball S so 1/2 < J < 2 and put U = expG(S). The pushforward v = (expG)∗(1SJ(a) da)
is finite and nonzero. On the overlap Fu is injective and its image is the relevant piece of A ∩uU.
Positivity of J turns the overlap law into | det DFu(a)|J(Fu(a)) = J(a).
Change of variables
therefore gives v(u−1A) = v(A ∩uU) for measurable A ⊆U.
Average over normalized Haar
measure. Tonelli and right invariance make the left integral v(G)μG(A). For fixed g ∈A, the set
of u for which g ∈uU has measure μG(U) by inversion and right translation, so the right integral
is μG(U)v(A). Hence
v(G)μG(A) = μG(U)v(A).
The set U is nonempty and open, and J is bounded above and below on the finite-radius ball. Thus
both constants are positive and finite, so c = μG(U)/v(G) > 0 gives
(expG)∗(1ScJ(a) da) = μG|U.

Intersecting arbitrary test sets with U proves the full local measure identity. The realized frame
construction uses this same G, chart, density and normalization; endpoint conjugations preserve
the color metric, but no new globally defined chart is introduced by the readout. Product-chart
and fluctuation changes below retain their separate Jacobian factors.
12.1
Primitive Haar charts and fluctuation normalization
Right Haar invariance sends 1BρcJ(a) da under a 7→expG(a)V to Haar restricted to expG(Bρ)V .
The finite product on active links has density Q
i cJ(ai), with inactive links fixed. The tree-gauge
splitting into active and exterior link coordinates is measure preserving.
Fubini permits active
integration first, then exterior integration, after insertion of the bounded local ingredients. The
powers of c and the Jacobian logarithms come from this product density. Regrouping then produces
the quadratic Gaussian density and the explicit vertex factors; the grafted-signal and Gaussian-
exponent constructions supply the selector implication and that decomposition. Sector selectors
ensure no nonzero contribution is omitted: if z = UiV −1
i
, shell access gives chord(z) ≤Kt, while
on the wider shell chord(z) ≤2Kt the logarithm satisfies ∥logG z∥≤γ chord(z) and is inverse to
the exponential. The active chart is sufficient because the sector selectors force every active link
of a nonzero integrand to lie in that chart relative to its replica background. Choose γK ≤a and
at < ρ. Then Ui = expG(v)Vi with ∥v∥≤at. Outside the chart the cutoffmakes the transformed
integrand vanish, so no exterior logarithm value is used in the change of variables. The inserted
cutofffunctions can be handled at all color arguments.
The inner-share cutoffχa lies between zero and one, equals one on ∥v∥≤at and vanishes outside
2at. Thus χ2a = 1 on its support. Set ga(v) = χ2a(v) log J(v). If 2at < ρ, ega = J on the active
cutoffsupport. Since J(0) = 1 and J is smooth positive, | log J(v)| ≤C∥v∥locally; when 4at is in
this radius, |ga(v)| ≤4Cat globally, including the zero-cutoffbranch. No exterior logarithm is used
where the integrand vanishes.
For p active real coordinates and coupling scale g > 0, the affine dilation D(x) = μ + gx has
determinant gp. Here active coordinates are indexed by active-link/color pairs. Finite-dimensional
change of variables pushes gpdx to active-chart Lebesgue measure. Reindexing these pairs into a
color vector at each active link is a coordinate permutation and regrouping, preserving measure
first on measurable rectangles and hence on all measurable sets. The active part of the original
fluctuation μ + gz is precisely D(x). The dormant matrix is zero on active and identity on vacant
coordinates; its energy is ∥y∥2/2, so for vacant dimension dv its density is
C(y) = (
√
2π)−dve−∥y∥2/2,
Z
C(y) dy = 1,
including dv = 0. Hence the exact integrable factorization is
R Y (x)gpC(y) dx dy = gp R Y (x) dx.
The original configuration and cutoff/Jacobian factors depend only on active coordinates. Fubini
uses the primitive envelopes; dormant coordinates are integrated, not deleted. This accounts for the
active-coordinate Jacobian and the unused Gaussian coordinates in the exact fluctuation integral,
rather than discarding them by a dimension convention. The packet and non-packet estimates
below supply the vertex envelopes.
If color dimension is r, active free-link count h and total free tree-link count f, then p = rh,
ambient dimension is rh + dv, and frozen free-link count is f −h. With mg = c(

factor is
e−log det Qblank/2.
A positive covariance Q in dimension d has density
(
√
2π)−d exp[−log det Q/2 −z⊤Q−1z/2].
Determinant factors are not dimension conventions. Thus all determinant and Gaussian-volume
factors are explicit before the remainder vertices are estimated.
Finally retain the raw action split β cutR +ER = vR|Λ|−reducedAction −additiveActivity. The
correction uses the whole gap cutR(U) −coarseCrown(V ) and cancels the retained crown already
transferred to the raw density exactly:
e−β coarseCrowneβ cutRe−β(cutR −coarseCrown) = 1.
The sector sum is thus the tagged block kernel times the original marked density pointwise. The ac-
tivity’s summable envelope and bounded sector factors justify integration/summation. The source
lift preserves these actual factors under measure readout, including every determinant and sector
tag. This is the initial action cancellation in the primitive Mark formula; the marked-integration
chapter supplies the local vertex decomposition and primitive-integral estimates completing that
formula.
Recovery of the active chart measure.
Fix the physical replica background V and an active-
link set Ea. For each fixed frame r the raw active-chart parametrization is
Ae = rx expG(ae)Ver−1
y ,
e : x →y,
π(r, A)e = expG(ae)Ve.
Left and right Haar invariance followed by the original chart identity therefore gives the same active
density Q
e∈Ea cJ(ae) dae for every r. Integration over normalized frame Haar measure contributes
one. For every integrable test supported in this product chart,

with the chart restriction understood on the left and all inactive data held fixed at their declared
readouts. The logarithmic coordinate reader is ae = logG(π(r, A)eV −1
e
) on this chart. The identity-
frame section recovers the original chart point and each selector, cutoffand Jacobian factor. This
requires no logarithm of an arbitrary raw link. The active affine dilation and coordinate permutation
are performed on these recovered color coordinates, so their determinant is still grh. The separately
normalized dormant Gaussian still integrates to one. Hence neither frame integration nor readout
changes ch, the active/frozen census, the blank-form determinant, or the crown-gap cancellation
in the primitive integral. The same integrable envelopes license these product integrations and
subsequent sums.
12.2
The reference quadratic floor before localization
Let Lu be the active link direction, Du the physical stacked motion and Pd the orthogonal dormant-
coordinate projection. The reference precision is Q = F ⊤F + Pd, with
u⊤F ⊤Fu = σ2 X
|Du|2.

The local geometric estimate is |Lui| ≤ZRi(u) + MCi(u), where Ri is the square root of the sum
of squared physical motions within fixed native radius d, and Ci is the square root of the sum
of squared active link directions within radius 3B. Both use actual torus max-distance and the
actual link census. Set W = P |Lui|2, V = P |Du|2 and Nr = (2r + 1)4L4
block|Axis|. Squaring and
charging occurrences gives
W ≤2Z2NdV + 2M2N3BW.
At the chosen block/stage Z is fixed and M has reference-coupling order −1/2 with the stated width
factors. Polynomial width growth permits the eventual condition 2M2N3B ≤1/2. Absorbing gives
W ≤4Z2NdV ≤aV for a positive enlarged a. Orthogonal active/dormant splitting then proves
∥u∥2 = ∥Lu∥2 + u⊤Pdu,
u⊤Pdu ≥0,
u⊤Qu ≥min(σ2/a, 1)∥u∥2.
This derives the floor from physical motion, conditional on the source’s local driving/flattening
estimates NF1–NF4, before choosing any covariance; it is not an assumed lower bound for the
full matrix. The reference precision is a Gram matrix with an identity completion on dormant
coordinates.
Each dormant row and column of the plate is identity and its linear source is zero, including
in principal restrictions. The inverse equation therefore gives identity dormant rows and columns
in each restricted inverse.
Padding a column retains this property because its diagonal lies in
its footprint and other entries outside are zero. Symmetrizing the padded inverse gives identity
dormant covariance rows/columns, and the mean −P ∗b vanishes there. These exact facts justify
the dormant Gaussian used above. Positivity and an upper bound for the whole padded covariance
still use the localized inverse-window estimates. Under the source lift the floor is on this actual
physical/dormant coordinate space and its isometric section, not on an enlarged space containing
extra frame-vertical null vectors.
12.3
Localized inverses and positive finite-window covariance
Let A = A⊤≥rI, r > 0, be indexed by coordinates at sites ai, and have width-η (η ≥0) absolute
row and column prices at most X > 0. Principal restrictions inherit the floor by zero extension and
the prices by restricting nonnegative sums. For 0 ≤θ ≤1, θX ≤r/2, take u ≥0, so Au = A + uI
has an actual two-sided inverse. Fix j and conjugate Au by si = eθη dist(ai,aj). If y = A−1
u ej and
wi = siyi, then
(Au + E)w = ej,
Eik = (Au)ik(si/sk −1).
Distance and convexity give |si/sk −1| ≤θeη dist(ai,ak). Indeed the log ratio lies between ±θD
and eθD −1 ≤θ(eD −1); for a negative logarithmic ratio v, use 1 −ev ≤e−v −1. The added
diagonal contributes zero to E.
Its row/column prices are at most r/2, so 2|vivk| ≤v2
i + v2
k
gives |v⊤Ev| ≤(r/2)∥v∥2. Pairing the equation with w yields (r/2 + u)∥w∥2 ≤wj ≤∥w∥, with
c = min(1, r/2) this implies c(1+u)∥w∥2 ≤wj ≤∥w∥. The zero-vector case is immediate; otherwise
∥w∥≤[c(1 + u)]−1. Hence
eθη dist(ai,aj)|(A + uI)−1
ij | ≤[min(1, r/2)(1 + u)]−1.
This is dimension-uniform and applies to each principal restriction.
Take θ = min(1, r/(2X)), b = θη and k = b/3 > 0 on the positive-width application domain.
With at most m coordinate labels per site, summing the remaining e−k dist tail gives a period-
independent price P at width 2k. Indeed the sum of e−(b−2k) dist over torus sites is bounded by the
corresponding absolutely convergent lattice sum, independently of the period. The full inverse and

zero-padded principal inverse columns obey this price. Choose each endpoint-defined window Wj
to contain the radius-B coordinates and lie within radius B+2, and set Kij = (A|Wj)−1
ij inside, zero
outside. Product prices at width 2k bound E = AK −I by XP + 1. The exact principal equation
makes this error zero when i ∈Wj, in particular within radius B. On all remaining entries the loss
of width k supplies e−kB. Its width-k price is therefore at most
εB = e−kB(XP + 1).
The exact identity K −A−1 = A−1E bounds its error price by PεB.
For C = (K + K⊤)/2, symmetry gives error price price(C −A−1) ≤PεB and price(C) ≤
P. Schur bounds convert the error to a quadratic bound: for a matrix E whose absolute row
and column sums are at most r/2, expanding the double sum and using 2|vivk| ≤v2
i + v2
k gives
|v⊤Ev| ≤(r/2)∥v∥2. Since A ≤XI, A−1 ≥X−1I; this also follows by expanding the nonnegative
form of w −X−1v with w = A−1v. Thus PεB ≤1/(2X) yields
(2X)−1I ≤C ≤PI.
The covariance vanishes beyond B + 2, and AC −I = A(C −A−1) has width-k price at most
XPεB. All choices are uniform in volume. For the physical plate its prior floor, stencil prices and
coordinate census provide r, X, m; increasing B at fixed block/stage pays the error. The physical
operator bounds and local driving estimate of this chapter establish these inputs for the plate. The
lift transports whole-color-block windows and the original endpoint rule, retaining K separately
from C for the mean. It does not identify a padded principal inverse with the full inverse or assert
positive exponential width from an input width of zero.
Recovery of the window covariance and mean.
Retain the endpoint-defined windows, their
principal inverses and the padded matrix K separately from C = (K +K∗)/2. For a physical linear
source b the retained mean is μ = −K∗b. If E = AK −I, then for every physical comparison vector
v,
μ −v = E∗v −K∗(Av + b).
Indeed E∗= K∗A −I since A = A∗, and substitution cancels K∗Av in the displayed order.
Symmetrization of the covariance therefore does not authorize replacing this mean by −Cb. For a
section j and readout p with pj = I, realize the physical Gaussian γμ,C by the pushforward j∗γμ,C.
Its ambient mean and covariance are jμ and jCj∗, and its readout is exactly γμ,C. In particular
p(jμ) = μ,
p(jCj∗)p∗= C.
These are covariance pushforward identities, distinct from the pullback p∗Ap of a precision form.
The realized Gaussian is supported on the declared section. No ambient Lebesgue density or inverse
in frame-vertical directions is introduced. Pulling test functions back by p and restricting through
j recovers the original Gaussian integrals and their dormant factors. Window error, finite range,
positive floor and upper bounds are read in the original physical coordinates and transported section
norm, with the same site census and widths. Thus the finite-window approximation remains the
original one, and both its residual and its mean recover exactly.
12.4
Axial gauge and bounded local logarithms
For finite cover support X, let eX sum internal positive-link chords and fX sum wholly internal
plaquette chords, with boundary/incomplete terms zero. Both are nonnegative and fX is gauge

invariant. An ordered list of distinct axes defines a slab with those coordinates in [−r, r] and the
others pinned. From a root p in the slab, travel first in the first listed axis to the corresponding
coordinate of x, then in the next axis, and so on. The remaining coordinates are pinned, so this
route ends at x; its ordered link product is Hp(x). Extending the list by axis j makes every internal
j-link identity in this gauge, since the routes to its endpoints differ by precisely that final link.
With those links identity, the plaquette and chord triangle inequalities give
| chord U(x + ej, i) −chord U(x, i)| ≤chord hol(□(i, j), x).
Apply the chord triangle inequality to ab−1 and its inverse for the two horizontal links. Reversing
the axis order only inverts the holonomy and preserves its chord. Summing the four positive axes
over a slice bounds the change by four times the adjacent-layer plaquette sum; telescoping within
the slab gives |eslice(z) −eslice(u)| ≤4fslab. All layers used by the telescoping sum lie inside the
slab; adding the unused nonnegative layers proves this bound even when the two slices are far
apart. Inductively a root exists with eslab(Hp · U) ≤4k(2r + 1)fslab for k listed axes. The base
is a single site. Choose a minimum-face-sum slice for the next axis, whose face sum is at most
fslab/(2r + 1), since the slice face sets are disjoint subsets of the full slab face set. Apply the prior
root construction there, and extend its routes. The chosen slice edge sum is unchanged. The new
links are identity and the slice comparison gives the claimed next bound after summing slices. No
small-curvature assumption enters root existence.
For four axes this gives 16(2r +1)fbox. A periodic radius-r patch with plaquette chords at most
q has fbox ≤(2r +1)4|PlaqAxes|q. Lift the patch to that box and apply the preceding construction.
When 2r < n its box lift is injective; the route gauge descends and extends arbitrarily elsewhere.
If d + 1 ≤r, each radius-d bond lies within the box, and
chord((z · U)(b)) ≤16(2r + 1)5|PlaqAxes|q.
The lift carries the same patch and gauge, including its nonwrapping condition; abstract frame
freedom does not enlarge this geometric domain.
The local analytic logarithm has log 1 = 0, giving ∥log M∥≤D∥M −I∥on a small matrix ball.
Shrink the ball for the local exponential inverse. Since ∥mat(U) −I∥= colorScale chord(U), this
yields constants C, δ > 0 with exp(log U) = U and ∥log U∥≤C chord(U) for chord at most δ. Set
the field to this logarithm on the specified interior patch and zero outside. If its chords are at most
h ≤δ, the global field is bounded by Ch and recovers the patch links; boundary continuity is not
required for this finite lattice field.
For an analytic map f, its series identifies the directional derivative L with the bounded deriva-
tive Df(0).
The first two terms and uniform remainder on one fixed ball give ∥La∥≤K∥a∥
and ∥f(a) −f(0) −La∥≤K∥a∥2.
Applied to the exponential they bound its chord linearly.
For the four-factor plaquette curvature the derivative is a0 + a1 −a2 −a3, yielding an actual-
curvature versus discrete-curl error K∥a∥2 uniformly in position and volume, including repeated
edges, because each of the four arguments is bounded by the same field norm. Finally expanding
UXU∗−X = (U −1)XU∗+X(U∗−1) and using unitary invariance of the Frobenius norm together
with ∥colorMat(a)∥= colorScale ∥a∥gives
∥Ad(U)a −a∥≤2 colorScale chord(U)∥a∥.
Induction along a walk gives chord of its transport at most its length times h, with inverse-link
chords unchanged. These are the nonlinear/local bounds transported through the actual realized
chart and route data.

Quantitative nonlinear and flat row comparison
Set widen(R, h, τ) = (1 + R)h + e−τR; cutoffs read actual path length, including winding. A path
slot reads a plaquette after adjoint transport along its walk from the reading site. In a chart field
∥a∥≤h, link chords are at most Bchh, curl at most Achh and curvature-minus-curl at most Achh2.
A retained transport slot of length at most R changes its curl by at most 2 colorScale RBchAchh2.
Hence slot-minus-curl is bounded by Jh widen, J = Ach(1 + 2 colorScale Bch). For an omitted slot
of length lwith dl> R and stage width σ > 0,
1 ≤eσle−σR/d ≤eσlwiden(R, h, σ/d).
With P
i |ui|eσli ≤paths, the omitted-slot inequality pays its whole linear curl, and absolute
summation of retained errors and omitted linear terms gives
∥xlin(a)j∥≤Ch,
∥plotted(exp a)j −xlin(a)j∥≤Ch widen(R, h, σ/d),
where C =
√
directAch+paths J. The direct coordinate uses its quadratic face error and h ≤widen.
The same absolute envelope handles countably many slots; the constants and small chart radius
depend on the fixed stage and d, independently of period and R.
For cover row Kab(u) with P
u eη|u||Kab(u)| ≤A, for each pair of finite residue types a, b, route
each coefficient by its designated adjoint walk, retaining it when d length ≤R and only in its
endpoint congruence class. Assume d length ≤D(1 + |u|). The full flat term is Kab(u)I without
cutoff. Unitary transport bounds the routed norm by |K|. With link chords at most Cchh, retained
transport differs from identity by at most 2 colorScale CchRh. For omitted terms the route inequality
gives ηR/D ≤η + η|u|, hence 1 ≤eηeη|u|e−ηR/D. Thus either error is bounded by
J widen(R, h, η/D)eη|u||Kab(u)|,
J = 1 + 2 colorScale Cch + eη.
Each cover displacement belongs to exactly one endpoint congruence class, even for many windings.
Summing absolute majorants first on the cover costs only the finite residue census. Absolute con-
vergence permits interchange of these nonnegative bounds, even on short tori with many windings.
For na, nb types, CK = (na + nb)AJ bounds row and column sums of both matrices and gives
difference price CK widen.
Same-level coordinate routes have length |u|, d = L; residue-to-Lu routes have length at most
L|u| + 4L. Both admit D = 5L. Replica links are identity or original coarse links and preserve
the chord bound. For the F, I, N rows take A = max(max(0, E), E/L2) and τ = η/(5L), then
maximize their costs with one and intersect chart radii. Constants are chosen after the fixed L,
uniformly in period/cutoff. At arbitrary realized frames the flat identity-color row becomes its
endpoint-conjugated row; readout transports the same comparison, rather than comparing to an
untransformed identity in unrelated frame coordinates.
12.6
Clean-hull guides and signed stationary cancellation
The guide is the pair of coarse response fields Mv, Mw, compared with flat F, I applied to xlin(a).
The flat N row vanishes on that field by flatN Dfulld = 0, because xlin(a) = Dfullda, including
harmonic coordinates. On a clean radius-B/4 hull agreeing with exp a, room inequalities contain
the row reach R = till(x) and the plotted field’s further R +4 sites. Cleanliness makes the retained
indicator and clipping factor min(1, temp / toll) equal to one there, and locality replaces the row
by its value at exp a.
55


## Source page 59

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

If the nonlinear row has price X, its difference from flat row D price XW, and the plotted/linear
field discrepancy is at most U with linear field bound Z, write B = Q(exp a), f = plotted(exp a)
and g = xlin(a). The exact decomposition is
Bf −Dg = B(f −g) + (B −D)g,
∥Bf −Dg∥≤XU + XWZ.
These substitutions hold only on that same hull. The kernel-chart and plotted-chart estimates
supply positive constants X, Z0, s, t. Here t is the lower-stage width divided by the positive block
length. The source choices are M(x) = Z0H(x), U(x) = M(x) widen(till(x), H(x), t) and
e(x) = XU(x) + X widen(till(x), H(x), s)M(x).
With eventual nonnegative rate-−1/2 H and the actual radius/cutoffbounds, widening retains that
rate because it is a radius factor times H plus an exponentially small cutoffterm. The products in
e therefore have rate −1. It bounds both guide discrepancies and nonlinear N, whose linear part
is zero.
Choose together the supplied quadratic beds, their attached path realizations, positive floors,
diagonal/roll identities and invariance under signed coordinate changes. Let W be their installed
stationary map and U its extracted fine-field matrix for the chosen forest. Then let D0 = I−probe U.
The diagonal identity is
Kc = U⊤KfU + penalty D⊤
0 D0.
Pairing each color coordinate proves fine shifted energy plus penalty residual norm squared equals
coarse energy, including harmonic modes. Signed covariance of the actual nonlinear predictor and
noise energy, applied to exponentiated ta and divided by t2, transfers this identity to every signed
orientation. Bed invariance supplies the other terms; entrywise isotropy is not assumed.
Let w, u, v be the transformed coarse, shifted fine and noise linear moment fields. The attached
path realizations and floors identify moment-square sums with bed energies; all norms here are
finite counting sums of squared color norms. Thus ∥u∥2 + ∥v∥2 = ∥w∥2. Set U1 = Fw, V1 = Iw.
Since Nw = 0, the roll identities give w = F ⊤U1 + I⊤V1 = F ⊤u + I⊤v in the finite counting inner
products. Pairing with w gives ∥U1∥2 + ∥V1∥2 = ∥w∥2 and ⟨U1, u⟩+ ⟨V1, v⟩= ∥w∥2. Expanding
therefore yields
∥U1 −u∥2 + ∥V1 −v∥2 = 0.
Nonnegative summands prove equality row by row, hence linearCost equals linearGuide in every
signed orientation. Subtraction gives the uncut spring cancellation. The source lift preserves the
same beds, forest, signed action and counting metric, so this cancellation is recovered without
replacing a nonlinear cutoffidentity by a global assertion outside its clean hull.
12.7
Nearest group points and analytic focus
Use the real Frobenius inner product. Compactness of the closed unitary matrix group gives a
nearest group point to every matrix, and left/right group multiplication preserves that minimization.
If 1 is nearest to X, differentiating ∥exp(tY )−X∥2 at zero for every Lie algebra Y shows X −1 ⊥g.
Therefore any nearest u obeys u∗X −1 ∈g⊥.
The analytic tubular map T(a, n) = exp(colorMat(a))(1 + n) is defined for n ∈g⊥and has
derivative colorMat(a) + n at (0, 0), an isomorphism by the orthogonal tangent/normal decomposi-
tion. Its local analytic inverse defines focus as the exponential of its tangent coordinate. To identify
every nearest point near identity, choose any nearest b(X). Minimality gives ∥b(X)−X∥≤∥I −X∥
and hence ∥b(X) −1∥≤2∥X −1∥, so b(X) →1. Its normal coordinate n = b(X)∗X −1 is per-
pendicular and tends to zero, as does its local tangent coordinate a = log b(X). Both coordinates

therefore lie in the inverse-function neighborhood when X is sufficiently near I. Since T(a, n) = X,
uniqueness of the local inverse forces b(X) = focus(X). Exceptional nearest choices arbitrarily near
identity would contradict this argument. Translation gives a uniform tube about the whole group,
including all its components.
Differentiating the inverse gives D(mat ◦focus)(1) = projg. Indeed the inverse derivative sends
colorMat(a)+n to (a, n), and the exponential derivative discards n. Analyticity makes this a strict
derivative, which yields, after shrinking the neighborhood for each ε > 0,
∥mat(u) −mat(v) −projg(X −Y )∥≤ε∥X −Y ∥
for the nearest points of X, Y . On the unique tube, unitary norm invariance and uniqueness prove
equivariance of focus under left/right group multiplication. Differentiating that equality gives its
derivative covariance. These prove the focus properties used in the frame and predictor derivatives
from the local group chart and the ordinary inverse function theorem. The source lift uses this
actual analytic branch and its radius. Outside it, compactness still gives minimizers but no arbitrary
global selection is assigned these uniqueness, analyticity or equivariance properties.
12.8
Analyticity of the actual normalized frame
Fix the period. No volume-independent analytic radius is asserted. For logarithmic input v, retain
actual patch frame matrices Hp normalized by Hp0 = 1. At zero all paths are identity; the nonneg-
ative score has identity minimizer of value zero, and uniqueness identifies the selected frame. Its
positive cutoffgives an open minimum branch, and selected-minimizer continuity gives Hp →1,
with all tags choosing that branch.
The actual self-consistency cloud is the finite analytic expression
cloudp(v, H) = averageq,o Hq travelv(p →q; o)∗.
The path products are finite products of exponentials and adjoints, so the cloud is analytic jointly
in v, H and equals one at (0, 1). Continuity places every cloud in the analytic-focus neighborhood;
self-consistency says Hp is its nearest group point. Thus the selected frame solves Fp0 = Hp0 −1 = 0
and Fp = Hp −focus(cloudp) = 0 otherwise. A kernel vector of its H derivative has hp0 = 0 and
hp = A = proj(averageq hq) for p ̸= p0. For the positive number N of patch points its average
is (N −1)A/N, and A is already projected.
Hence A = (N −1)A/N, so A = h = 0.
This
finite-dimensional endomorphism is invertible.
Apply the analytic inverse function theorem to (v, H) 7→(v, F(v, H)). The continuous actual
solution lies in the local inverse neighborhood; uniqueness identifies it with the analytic implicit
branch.
This proves analyticity of the actual normalized frame, using the separately retained
nearest-point, self-consistency and minimizer arguments. The realized predictor lift composes this
same selected operation with readout; it does not enlarge its radius to a uniform-in-volume state-
ment or differentiate an arbitrary fallback branch.
12.9
First derivative of the actual rooted predictor
Let feey(p, q, o; a) be the tangent link sum of the actual ordered route from p to q embedded at
coarse root y, and define tapy(p; a) = −averageq,o feey(p, q, o; a). Differentiating each finite route
product gives its color matrix, with reversed links contributing minus signs. Each color component
of tap is exactly the scalar path functional τy(p) applied to the color-coordinate input.
For the actual frame derivative dp, the cloud derivative at identity is
averageq dq + colorMat(tapy(p; a)).
57


## Source page 61

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
The focus derivative is projection onto the Lie algebra, so differentiation gives
dp = proj(averageq dq) + colorMat(tapy(p; a)).
Since the distinguished frame is identically one, dp0 = 0. Subtract its equation to obtain
dp = colorMat[tapy(p; a) −tapy(p0; a)].
This proves tag independence of the derivative on the common actual branch.
For a coarse
bond the left frame, length-L route and inverse right frame therefore give connector derivative
colorMat(billp(a)), where
billp(a) = tapy(p; a) −tapy(p0; a) + linkSum(bondRoutep; a)
−tapy+ei(p; a) + tapy+ei(p0; a).
The best-predictor branch is open at zero by zero cost and positive cutoff. Every connector is near
one and the weighted connector average equals one at zero. Near zero the actual predictor is focus
of this analytic average, whatever fallback tag was supplied. Its derivative is the weighted sum of
these Lie-algebra connector derivatives, unchanged by the focus projection. Expanding tap and the
original rooted path and probe definitions gives, coordinate by coordinate,
X
p
weightp billp(a) = probe(a).
Weights sum to one, retaining both center subtractions. Thus the predictor is identity at zero and its
literal derivative is colorMat(probe(a)). The local analytic frame equation and its normalization are
the inputs to this differentiation; the subtraction shows explicitly why the derivative is independent
of the frame tag. The horizontal derivative formula proved for the lift recovers precisely this rooted
probe, rather than an unrooted or independently averaged substitute.
12.10
Uniform predictor linearization and entry bounds
For fixed patch/kernel let Spred contain every ordered interpatch route, its translated endpoint
copy and every length-L connector.
Equal fields on its rooted links have equal path products,
axial/via frames and scores; uniqueness identifies the minimizing frames, while the fallback uses
the equal axial frames. Thus actual predictors agree with the original endpoint and connector tags.
The maximum route distance of these finitely many roots is predictionReach; agreement on that
parent-distance hull suffices.
At fixed period/tags the noise field
Zk(a, b) =
p
penalty curvature(exp b prediction(exp a, k)−1)
is analytic near zero, vanishes there and has derivative zlin = √penalty(b −probe(a)). This follows
from the actual predictor derivative, skew-adjoint inverse derivative and curvature’s linear color
reading. Taylor gives a linear bound and quadratic remainder. There are finitely many tags and
bond positions, so take the maximum of their constants and the positive minimum of their radii
on that fixed torus.
For volume uniformity choose a reference coarse side c0 = 2M + 2 > 1 large enough to inject
the stencil, with M its largest absolute coordinate. At an input bond root x, transplant reference
fine values by
y 7−→wrapf(lift(y −embed(0))) + embed(x).

Then set the coarse reference field constantly to the original bond value. Norms do not increase.
Copy original endpoint tags to distinct reference sites 0, ei and its connector tag to their bond. All
stencil reads agree for every scalar multiple of the inputs, including repetitions identified by a short
original torus. Values agree at one and derivatives agree at zero. The reference Taylor bounds
therefore give volume/tag-independent Cz, rz such that
∥zlin(a, b)∥≤Cz max(∥a∥, ∥b∥),
∥Zk −zlin∥≤Cz max(∥a∥, ∥b∥)2
inside radius rz. This uses a copied actual branch, not a new minimizer.
The full entry is plotted fine moment direct-summed with Z, and its linear entry is xlin ⊕zlin.
For logarithmic inputs bounded by H, combine the plotted comparison already proved with the
preceding inequality for Z: set M = (Cx + Cz)H and W = CxH widen(R, H, widthtop) + CzH2.
Then each linear entry has norm at most M and each entry-minus-linear-entry has norm at most
W, simultaneously in the two kinds of row. For H of rate −1/2 and R = till(x) they have rates
−1/2, −1. Predictor covariance and curvature conjugation give gauge covariance, and the union of
cutoffstencil, predictor reach and coarse root link gives protected-hull locality. These establish the
entry-near and entry-locality inputs used next.
A curl costs at most 4∥v∥; path sums cost 4 paths ∥v∥with omitted tail 4 paths ∥v∥e−widthtop R.
Direct and noise rows cost 4
√
direct∥v∥and Cz∥v∥. Thus Ust = 4(paths +
√
direct) + Cz, Kst =
Ust + 4 paths bound full/cutoffrows and their exponentially small difference at every cutoff. The
cutoffbound follows by comparison with the full row and e−widthtop R ≤1. Absolute summability
licenses subtraction.
A single-link impulse at parent distance g has zero cutoffreading if s +
predictionReach +4 < g. For g > predictionReach +5, choosing s = g −predictionReach −5 and
comparing both cutoffs to the full row yields
ewidthtop g∥FieldR(asingle)∥≤2Kstewidthtop(predictionReach +6)∥a∥.
If R is too short the cutoffrow is already zero. Nearby links use the uniform row bound. These
bounds also give the spatial impulse estimate used in the plate prices. The lift copies every repeated
source value and tag on this stencil, and hence retains both the volume-uniform estimate and its
actual locality domain.
12.11
Shell comparison and the tree-slice floor
A differentiable group curve with U(0) = 1,  ̇U(0) = colorMat(a) satisfies chord(U(t))/|t| →∥a∥
because chord is the Frobenius distance from identity divided by colorScale and ∥colorMat(a)∥=
colorScale ∥a∥. If w vanishes on forest trunks, exp(tw) remains on the exact tree slice. Near zero
the actual frame branch has positive mass and usable tags. Its nonlinear shell comparison with
coarse field one gives
chord(U(t)e) ≤C port(parent(e), U(t)) + chord(Q(t)parent(e),axis(e)).
This upper bound is valid in the internal-block case as well, where adding the last nonnegative term
is harmless. Bound the port by the full macro-box plaquette sum, retaining periodic repetitions,
divide by |t| and take the finite-sum limit. Plaquette and predictor derivatives give
∥we∥≤C
X
z∈box(macroR)
X
p
∥curl(w)wrap z+embed(parent(e)),p∥+ ∥probe(w)parent(e),axis(e)∥.
This uses the nonlinear shell comparison, not a newly chosen linear gauge.

Let N = | box(macroR)|, m = |PlaqAxes|, q = L4. Macro-sum Cauchy–Schwarz costs Nm.
For each fixed offset z, the map (x, p) 7→(wrap z + embed(x), p) from coarse site and plaquette
type is injective, so summing squares costs at most the full fine sum; summing offsets adds N.
Each coarse site has q children and four outgoing fine axes. Square the local link estimate using
(a + b)2 ≤2a2 + 2b2. Therefore

Different offsets need not be injective against each other. If the fine bed has curl floor a > 0 and
penalty κ > 0, its vertical tree-chart Hessian dominates a P ∥curl w∥2 + κ P ∥probe w∥2. Linear
inclusion identifies this Hessian with the full germ on the collected field zero on trunks. Hence
η = min(a, κ)
1 + β + γ > 0
gives the floor η P
free ∥ve∥2, since ηβ ≤a and ηγ ≤κ. This unfolds the fixed-block counting-
coordinate Hessian floor. The nonlinear shell comparison supplying C remains the stated input.
Here “vertical” is the source’s free tree-chart variation, not the additional frame-fibre kernel of the
source–readout realization. Keeping those spaces distinct preserves both this positive floor and the
exact redundant-frame null directions.
12.12
Uniform cutoffs, continuity and minimizer uniqueness
The finite-pair small-transport constant d > 0 depends only on G.
Choose frame cutoffat
most d/ colorScale. On an all-minimum patch use its center axial frame a and pair transports
Wxyk = ax travel(x →y, k)a−1
y . Their matrix distance from identity is at most d. Transforming a
competing frame by bxa−1
x
identifies pair cost and original frame score. Every competitor can be
left normalized without changing cost. Compactness of the finite product of G with its center fixed
gives a normalized minimizer, pair uniqueness gives uniqueness modulo common left multiplication,
and center value one removes it. Thus the cutoffis independent of patch order and size.
For real weights wi summing to one and m = P
i wi mat(fi), completion of the square gives
2 repDim
X
i
wi price(fiu−1) =
X
i
wi∥mat(fi)∥2 −∥m∥2 + ∥m −mat(u)∥2.
Hence predictor minimization is nearest-point minimization. For nonnegative weights the squared-
norm inequality for a weighted average gives the explicit bound
∥m −mat(u)∥2 ≤2 repDim
X
i
wi price(fiu−1).
If this right side is strictly below r2, the centroid lies in the nearest-point tube and has a unique
nearest point. Cutoffat most r2/(2 repDim), where r is the focus tube radius, ensures uniqueness;
this choice also depends only on G.
A closed minimizer relation M ⊆X × Y with compact Y has continuous arbitrary selections at
each singleton fibre: for an open neighborhood V of its unique value, the projection of M∩(X×V c) is
closed and omits that input. Its complement forces every selected minimum into V . For frames this
relation is the intersection of the closed center-normalization condition and the score inequalities
against all normalized competitors; each score is a continuous finite path expression. Predictor
relations use the corresponding cost inequalities. Strict finite cutofftests make the branches open.
This supplies the continuity used in the analytic-frame theorem.

For a finite pair family set term(h; x, y, k) = price(hxWxykh−1
y ) and average over the three
indices for the cost. For self-consistency, reversal exchanges x, y and applies the mirror permutation
to k, preserving the sum. Thus reversal symmetry pairs the off-diagonal terms when one frame
coordinate hx is varied; diagonal terms vanish because Wxxk = 1. Varying only hx changes the total
cost by twice the off-diagonal row change. Global minimality therefore minimizes the off-diagonal
row. Adding the frozen self term, nonnegative and zero at hx, proves whole-row minimality. The
normalized whole row is the weighted squared-distance problem to hyW −1
xyk, up to a positive constant
and a competitor-independent term. Completing its square identifies hx as nearest to feedback(h)x.
If ∥Wxyk−1∥≤d, identity-array comparison bounds mean squared pair separation by 4d2. After
normalizing so identity is nearest to its centroid, a suitable index gives centroid distance at most
2d, and feedback differs from the centroid by at most d, hence lies within 3d of identity. Choose
the focus two-point radius δ for error 1/4 and d = min(δ/4, 1/4). Multiply each of two minimizing
arrays h, k on the left by the inverse of a nearest point to its centroid. This preserves minimization
and makes identity nearest to both centroids. With u = maxx ∥hx −kx∥, their feedback difference
B at a maximizing index obeys ∥B∥≤u. Subtracting centroid difference gives error at most ud by
factoring each term as (hy −ky)(W −1
xyk −1). Both centroid-minus-identity vectors are normal, so
∥proj B∥≤ud. Since 3d < δ, self-consistency and the focus estimate apply to both feedbacks and
imply
u ≤∥proj B∥+ 1
4∥B∥≤ud + u/4 ≤u/2.
Thus u = 0. Undoing normalization proves common-left-multiple uniqueness; center normalization
makes it literal uniqueness. The source lift retains this group freedom separately from its redundant
presentation frames and does not extend the singleton-fibre claims to arbitrary nonunique branches.
12.13
Finite-pair alignment and route census
For reversal-symmetric pair transports Wxyk and a minimizing array h, put income(x) =
averagey,k chord(Wxyk) and m = averagex income(x). Identity-array comparison bounds minimum
price by m, since chord squared is at most twice chord. Factoring the pair separation through its
discrepancy and squaring gives
averagex,y ∥hx −hy∥2
F ≤8 colorScale2 m.
Indeed the squared triangle inequality bounds each squared pair chord by twice the squared dis-
crepancy plus 4 chord(Wxyk); averaging with minimality gives the factor eight. Set
centroid(h) = averagex mat(hx),
feedback(h)x = averagey,k mat(hyW −1
xyk).
Direct subtraction gives ∥feedback(h)x −centroid(h)∥F ≤colorScale income(x). By self-consistency
each hx is nearest to its feedback. Choose a nearest centroid point b and replace h by b−1h. Identity
is then nearest to the centroid, whose distance from identity is at most
√
8 colorScale2 m, using a
suitable index and the squared-average inequality.
Choose the focus comparison radius δ for error coefficient one, σ = (δ/2)2/(8 colorScale2) and
a = δ/(2 colorScale).
If m < σ and income is below a, both feedback and centroid lie in the
comparison domain. The centroid lies within δ/2 of identity and feedback within δ. The focus
comparison and projection norm at most one give
∥mat(hx) −I∥≤2∥feedback(h)x −centroid(h)∥,
61


## Source page 65

and hence chord(hx) ≤2 income(x). Remaining indices use 2 ≤(2/a) income(x). Averaging these
two index classes gives the constant max(2, 2/a). If m ≥σ, choose b = 1; the universal chord bound
gives 2 ≤(2/σ)m. Undoing the common normalization and using conjugation invariance therefore
gives an aligning element b with
averagex chord(hxb−1) ≤Calignm,
Calign = max(2/σ, 2, 2/a).
No individual-transport smallness is required for this averaged statement.
For a radius-r box of N sites, replacing selected coordinates of x by those of y gives dp(x, y).
Swapping those coordinates is an endpoint-pair involution, hence P
x,y f(dp(x, y)) = N P
x f(x).
Swapping a site coordinate with an independent height likewise gives
X
x,height
f(updatej(x, height)) = (2r + 1)
X
x
f(x).
A positive straight segment’s chord is bounded by its whole internal line sum, by the product tri-
angle inequality and then enlargement to the full line; for a negative segment reverse the walk and
use inversion invariance. Appending an axis adds this line cost at dp(x, y). The two census identi-
ties bound its total by N(2r + 1) edgeSum(U). Induction yields length(p)N(2r + 1) edgeSum(U),
with constant four for all axes. The source lift retains these endpoint-pair sums, roots and route
multiplicities, so the averaged alignment is not replaced by an unsupported pointwise bound.
12.14
Predictor queries and synchronization
For connector values Yp with nonnegative weights summing to one, take q = xy−1 and τ =
P
p weightp chord(x−1Ypy). Cyclic invariance identifies it with the discrepancy from q. For m =
P
p weightp mat(Yp), one has ∥m−mat(q)∥≤colorScale τ. In the best branch its output b is nearest
to m, so
∥mat(b) −mat(q)∥≤∥mat(b) −m∥+ ∥m −mat(q)∥≤2 colorScale τ.
In the fallback branch its minimum price is at least predictorCut; since price = chord2 /2 ≤chord,
comparison with q gives τ ≥predictorCut.
Since 0 ≤chord ≤2, the universal chord bound
therefore proves in both branches
chord(x−1 predict(Y )y) ≤2 max(1, predictorCut−1)τ.
This includes the actual fallback output.
The radius-r route census gives P
p,q chord(travel(p →q; o)) ≤4N(2r + 1) edgeSum(U) and
hence N meanPairChord ≤4(2r + 1) edgeSum(U); the census follows by charging each coordinate
segment to its internal positive edges, as in the route-count argument above. In the minimum
frame branch, after gauge H, the array bp = framep H−1
p
minimizes the corresponding pair en-
ergy; gauge covariance and center normalization preserve competitors.
Alignment gives c with
averagep chord(bpc−1) ≤C meanPairChord. Cyclic invariance and the route bound then give
X
p
chord(c−1 framep H−1
p ) ≤4C(2r + 1) edgeSum(H · U).
In the fallback branch positive frame mass makes the axial tag eligible. Its normalized route gauge
d has edge sum at most axialFactor(2r + 1) faceSum(U). Set g = dH−1. Factoring links gives
62

edgeSum(g · 1) ≤edgeSum(d · U) + edgeSum(H · U). Pure-gauge travel is gpg−1
q . Choose a root q
whose endpoint sum is at most the average, and apply the route bound. With c = gq this gives
X
p
chord(c−1 framep H−1
p ) ≤4(2r + 1)
 edgeSum(H · U)
+ axialFactor(2r + 1) faceSum(U)
.
Thus A = max(4C, 4) pays both synchronization branches, using the finite-pair cluster inequality
and route census as its two inputs.
The patch weight is the distribution of J independent uniform small-box rolls. Conditional
on all but the first roll, at most one first roll yields any specified sum. Its box has L4 points, so
L4 weightp ≤1. Coincident roll sums are not assumed distinct. The source lift retains this prob-
ability census and actual fallback tags alongside the connector readout; no successful minimizing
branch replaces a fallback contribution.
12.15
One macro gauge and predictor price
The planting argument uses the axial estimate already proved and the following frame synchro-
nization inequality.
Synchronization on a usable radius-r patch gives a constant p with frame-
error sum at most A(2r + 1)[edgeSum(H · U) + axialFactor(2r + 1) faceSum(U)]. The constant
A depends only on the group.
For smoothing index j, put l0 = 2(j + 7) + 1, D = 16l0 and
C = Al0(D + axialFactor l0). The macro radius is patch radius plus 4L, so 2 macroR +1 ≤l0L.
Apply the four-axis axial construction to the whole macro box, giving one gauge H with edge sum
at most DL port. All patches centered at Ly, y ∈[−2, 2]4, lie there. Nonnegativity bounds their
sums by the macro sums. Applying synchronization to each with that same H gives py and error
sum at most CL2 port.
For adjacent roots, a connector factors into left frame error, length-L transport in H and inverse
right error. If frame-error sums are at most KL2 port and macro edge sum at most TL port, the sum
of transport chords over starting points is at most L times that edge sum. Each step translation
is injective and stays in the macro box; repeated torus edges still count as separate steps. The
weight bound L4 weightp ≤1 gives L4τ ≤L2(2K + T) port. The query estimate bounds the chord
by 2 max(1, predictorCut−1)τ. Multiply by L2 and use L > 0 to obtain
L2 chord(p−1
y Qy,ipy+ei) ≤2 max(1, predictorCut−1)(2K + T) port .
For α = 2 max(1, predictorCut−1)(2C + D), each gauged predictor link costs α port /L2. Endpoint
factors cancel around the coarse plaquette, yielding chord(face Q) ≤4α port /L2. For any V , the
factorization inequality
chord(ab(cd)−1) ≤chord(ac−1) + chord(bd−1)
follows by factoring into one discrepancy and a conjugate of the other. Iteration with inversion
invariance on the reversed links gives chord(face V ) ≤chord(face Q)+fuel(Q, V ), where fuel retains
all four wire discrepancies. The lift uses one common macro witness and these same endpoint gauges;
independent favorable gauges on separate patches would not establish this joint cancellation.
12.16
Nonlinear shell-link comparison
On the actual forest slice close a fine link by the reverse tree hike from its first coarse root and the for-
ward hike to its second coarse root. Both hike transports are identity, so this walk reads U(x, i), has
63


## Source page 67

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
length at most 8L+1, and has the two embedded coarse parents as endpoints. Lift the whole walk to
the cover starting at zero over its first root; every point lies in the same macro box. Planting there
supplies H, py with edge sum at most DL port and frame-error sum at most CL2 port. At the distin-
guished patch point the frame is one, giving chord(H(centerRoot(y))py) ≤CL2 port. The adjacent-
root predictor bound is chord(p−1
0 Qpei) ≤αL−2 port, where α = 2 max(1, predictorCut−1)(2C +D).
The triangle inequality along all occurrences of the lifted walk bounds its gauged chord by at
most u port, u = (8L + 1)DL. The period condition 100 macroR ≤fineSide makes wrapping injec-
tive on the macro box. If coarse parents agree, the lifted endpoint is zero, the replica comparison
link is identity and conjugation gives the bound directly. If parents differ, the centered parent-hop
identity makes the second parent the positive coarse neighbor, and injectivity gives the endpoint
centerRoot(ei), including across a periodic seam. Factoring the predictor through the same p0, pei
bounds its gauged chord by v port, v = 2CL2 + α/L2. Compare the fine link and predictor in this
same macro gauge and use the triangle inequality. Therefore
chord(U(x, i)Q−1) ≤(u + v) port .
Comparison to the desired coarse link V adds exactly its wire discrepancy with coefficient one.
The constant is uniform in period and forest on the room domain. The room hypotheses supply
its size assumptions, so the same constant is available in the local driving inequality. The source
lift retains that exact forest slice, macro gauge and wrapping hypothesis, so the shell estimate
used by local driving has the same domain and coefficient; it is not inferred from separate local
gauges at the walk endpoints. Explicitly, let D be this forest-slice room domain and let f(U, V ) be
the left-hand discrepancy, with the replica interpretation when both parents agree. The recovered
scalar is ef = f ◦π on π−1(D), and the port and wire budgets are pulled back by the same map.
Thus the bound pulls back pointwise with the identical constants u + v and one. Evaluation at
the section σ recovers the original inequality because πσ = I. Endpoint frame factors on the lifted
walk cancel internally and leave precisely its endpoint transforms; their chord is unchanged by the
corresponding unitary conjugation. This establishes recovery with the same periodic injectivity
and forest hypotheses.
12.17
Local driving from selected motions
Let lens(u) be the active fine tangent. At coarse o, current is the square root of the sum of squared
lens norms within the radius-3B fine-link neighborhood, and response is the square root of the sum
of squared selected-motion norms within radius macroR +2. Nonnegativity of all squared terms
bounds each summand norm by the corresponding root sum. For a hot link e with parent o, a gauge
z making background chords at most h on radius 2B permits the transported-to-flat comparison.
Hotness puts e sufficiently far from the seed set, and the room radius keeps this entire row-root
neighborhood clear, so every required row is selected in identity orientation and its motion norm is
bounded by response. All required tangent values lie in current’s radius-3B neighborhood. Gauge
covariance and norm preservation therefore give each relevant row obeys
∥FieldR(Ad(z) lens(u))∥≤Eo,
Eo = response(o, u) + 2Kst colorScale(B + 1)h current(o, u).
Let K be the common local comparison constant for the actual predictor tags, supplied by the
gauge-flattening/tree-slice construction. Its link estimate bounds ∥we∥by K times the macro-box
sum of curl norms plus the predictor-bill norm. Apply it to w = Ad(z) lens(u), zero on trunks

A clean-patch flattening gauge supplies rate-−1/2 h with its radius factors included, paying the
squared-neighborhood absorption in the plate-floor proof. Tag uniformity comes from the actual
tree-slice estimate.
12.18
Transported affine rows
Let cx(V ; y) be transport along the coordinate-order route from x to its centered displacement
toward y. It ends at y and has length at most 4 separation(x, y) because each of the four centered
coordinate lengths is bounded by that separation. Spin each tangent at parent y by Ad(cx(V ; y)),
then apply the cutoffflat row at x. The signed row first applies the actual replica tangent transfor-
mation, including the background adjoint and minus sign on reversed links. These transformations
preserve each color norm and hence the Kst row bound; at V = 1 the straightened row is the flat
row.
Carrier covariance is c′
x = z(x)cxz(y)−1, so input and carrier endpoint factors cancel and leave
only Ad(z(x)). The flat row commutes with this common action. The signed tangent transfor-
mation commutes with gauge change after pulling the gauge to the signed sites, giving the cor-
responding adjoint at the signed row root. A carrier to y lies in the queried radius-d hull when
4 separation(x, y) ≤d. On that hull take h ≥0. Then replacing exterior links by identity leaves the
carrier unchanged. If its chords are at most h, carrier chord is at most dh. Truncating a tangent
difference to the required radius-R + predictionReach +4 stencil similarly gives row difference at
most KstM for local input error M.
For input bounded by M on the required stencil, every carrier changes it by at most
2 colorScale dhM. Thus if 4(R + predictionReach +4) ≤d,
∥straightenedR(V, u) −FieldR(u)∥≤2Kst colorScale dhM.
The reversed-link tangent change at background V differs from its value at identity by at most
2 colorScale hM and shifts its root by one. Radius-d + 1 original data supply radius-d bounds after
turning; summing reversal and carrier errors gives
∥orientedRowR(V, u) −orientedRowR(1, u)∥≤2Kst colorScale(d + 1)hM.
For a single-link input, signed transport and carrier spin preserve its single-link norm, while parent
distance shifts by at most one. The impulse bound is therefore 2Kstewidthtop(predictionReach +7)∥a∥
after multiplication by the original exponential distance weight, without smallness of V . The room
condition gives locality at till using a half hull before turning. The source lift preserves these actual
tangent transformations and route endpoints, not a bare signed permutation.
12.19
Affine accuracy on the protected stencil
Grafting on a radius-d hull means actual agreement U = exp(u) replica(V ) there with ∥ui∥≤H.
Gauge changes preserve it with adjoint-transformed u; signed changes retain it on radius d −1
because reversed stored roots shift by one. Smaller hulls and larger bounds preserve it.
65

At a row use d = B/4, R = till(x) and V = exp b on the hull, ∥b∥≤H. Extend u by zero outside
to v, and put a = linearCopy(b), both bounded by H. For eventually small H, the logarithmic
product gives linkwise
exp w = exp v exp a,
∥w −v −a∥≤JH2,
∥w∥≤(1 + J)H.
Replica exponential equality is exact. Entry locality identifies actual C with entry(exp w, exp b)
and background Y with entry(exp a, exp b). Let E0 bound both logarithmic-entry errors against
their full linear costs, and let M0 bound the full linear cost of w, using the uniform entry-near
estimates at enlarged envelope (1 + J)H. Put z = linearCost(w, b), z0 = linearCost(a, b). Then
∥C∥≤M0 + E0, and the exact five-term identity is
C −Y −straightened(V, u) = (C −z) + uncut(w −v −a) + (z0 −Y )
+ [uncut(v) −truncated(v)]
+ [truncated(v) −straightened(V, u)].
The respective bounds are E0, q1, E0, q2, q3, with common stencil constant K and exponential-chart
constant A,
q1 = KJH2,
q2 = KHe−width R,
q3 = 2K colorScale BAH2.
They use, in order, the full stencil bound, cutofftail and transported-row comparison with chord
at most AH.
Locality removes exterior u before any estimate.
The room inequality 4(R +
predictionReach +4) ≤d contains every input.
Thus Eaff= 2E0 + q1 + q2 + q3 also bounds
∥Y −linearCost(a, b)∥. For rate-−1/2 H, entry-near gives E0 rate −1 and M0 rate −1/2. The
quadratic, cutoffand radius-weighted quadratic terms each have rate −1 under the stated ra-
dius/cutoffcontrols. Thus M0 + E0 has rate −1/2 and Eaffrate −1. The lift preserves all five
terms and this local grafting contract; horizontal recovery does not license dropping a background
transport error or reading unbounded exterior tangents.
12.20
Protected mean: stationary comparison field
Fix scale, geometry, selected rows and forest.
In counting coordinates let A be the plate, D
its selected linear form, b its bill and S the dormant diagonal.
The exact pricing identity is
Av + b = D⊤priced(v) + Sv. Coordinates are expressed in the fixed orthonormal color basis. Field
norms here are supremum norms; color norms are bounded by the sum of absolute color coordinates.
A common Y bounds row sums of D, D⊤, with reach B/4: the matrix entries of D vanish beyond
distance B/4.
A clean radius-(d + 1) hull, d ≤32B, admits an axial gauge with radius-d link chord bound
u(x) = 16(2(32B(x) + 1) + 1)5|PlaqAxes| 2 fiery(G, x, L).
The axial-patch bound uses the clean plaquette toll and room temperature comparison. The local
logarithm extension then gives a bounded global a agreeing there with the gauged background and
∥a∥≤w = Cu, of rate −1/2. For the actual chart product h(p, q) = log(exp p exp q), inverse-
chart differentiation gives Dh(0)(p, q) = p + q. Analytic Taylor bounds on a fixed ball give exact
exponential recovery, error K max(∥p∥, ∥q∥)2 and size K max(∥p∥, ∥q∥), linkwise. This is not an
identification of group elements with tangent vectors. Applying this link by link proves the same
uniform bounds for the logarithm of two successive increments.

The linear forest response spring has zero trunk values and coordinate bound on unit input
C0 = Response. total(j, η, C) + eη.
Sum the coordinate bound over colors on unit input, rescale by ∥a∥−1 for a ̸= 0, and use linearity
for a = 0. This gives ∥spring(a)∥≤Cs∥a∥, where
Cs = max(1, max(0, C0) dim Color).
Signed changes preserve this bound and commute with linearCopy; the latter follows either from
the copy formula or by differentiating the exact identity for its exponentiated replicas. For the same
axial gauge z, let v = Ad(z−1) spring(a). It remains zero on trunks with size at most Csw. Gauge
covariance identifies the selected path, away from seeds, with request in the gauged background
plus its actual oriented row on spring.
On the common clean hull the exact stationary cancellation is
linearCost(linearCopy(a), a) −linearGuide(a) + uncutField(spring(a)) = 0.
Indeed the stationary shifted field is linearCopy plus spring, and linearity gives its defining
guide. Subtracting this identity leaves four errors: base-stroke linearization, guide linearization,
background-oriented versus flat truncated row, and truncated versus uncut row.
The first two
envelopes A1, A2 have rate −1 from the earlier affine/guide estimates.
The explicit remaining
bounds and the padded-inverse mean calculation follow below.
The source lift uses this same
gauge, forest and hull for every row and column; the stationary cancellation is performed before
norms or coordinate reduction. The last two stationary comparison errors are
U1 = 2Kst colorScale(B + 1)CchCsw2,
U2 = KstCswe−width till(x).
Here Cch bounds chord(exp a) by Cch∥a∥. The first error has rate −1 because it is quadratic in w
with only the radius factor; the second has rate −1 by cutoffdecay. Thus A0 = A1 + A2 + U1 + U2
has rate −1 and bounds each path of v outside the 20B seed neighborhood on its common radius-2B
agreement hull.
Let P be the nonsymmetric inverse-column pad, E = AP −I and μ = −P ⊤b. Symmetry of A
gives E⊤= P ⊤A −I, and therefore proves exactly
μ −v = E⊤v −P ⊤(Av + b).
Only column window i of P is read at coordinate i. If the residual is bounded there by M and
∥v∥≤W, the proved window bounds give
|μi −vi| ≤payE M + scraps(B)W.
For any row, | P
j Mijtj| ≤K P
j |Mij| when |tj| ≤K on its nonzero entries. This uses no residual
bound outside that support. Outside the 11B seed neighborhood Sv = 0: trunks have zero com-
parison field and every other coordinate is active. Pricing and the transpose row price then give
|(Av + b)i| ≤Y scale A0 when paths within distance B have the A0 bound. Similarly local input
error U gives path error at most dim(Color) scale−1 Y U on its radius-B coordinate neighborhood.
For a path root outside 30B, flatten its clean radius-(8B + 1) hull on radius 8B and use one
comparison v for all tested coordinates. Its paths within 6B obey A0. All column windows needed
within B lie within 3B and remain outside the 11B exclusion, so the residual bound above applies
throughout each window. Therefore, with
W = Csw,
M = Y scale A0,
U = payE M + scraps(B)W,

Emean = A0 + dim(Color) scale−1 Y U,
we have ∥realPathp(μ)∥≤Emean. The scraps estimate at any prescribed negative power gives rate
−1 for U and then for Emean. Arbitrarily negative-power scraps bounds pay the error, with eventual
nonnegative envelopes. The same seed condition selects the root. This proves the protected-mean
estimate used in the watch argument, with one common choice of gauge and comparison field for its
entire finite stencil. The axial bound used here follows from the injective cover-box gauge, 16(2r+1)
times face sum, bounded by 16(2r +1)5|PlaqAxes|q when 2r < n and d+1 ≤r. The lift retains the
single comparison field and the actual P ⊤mean; symmetrizing the covariance does not symmetrize
this mean or enlarge its protected stencil.
12.21
Local normalization differences
The source condensation is [joint(Ablank; e) −joint(A; e)]/2 on the same window. This subsection
derives the remote normalization estimate used below from the local form comparison and the
already established inverse-window bounds.
Blank geometry retains forest, scale, windows and
tags, with identity background and empty seeds; nontrunks are hot and all rows selected.
For positive plates on a common window U, put fA = AU −I, gA(s) = I + s(AU −I) for
0 ≤s ≤1. The intensity is the distinguished diagonal of fAg−1
A . If absolute entries of A −Z there
are at most e0 ≥0, its census |U| ≤∆= ballCost(B + 2)m bounds the difference row sums by
d = ∆e0. Suppose interpolation inverse row sums are at most Cinv = payE and fZ row price at
most Q + 1. The exact resolvent identity
g−1
Z −g−1
A = g−1
Z (gA −gZ)g−1
A
gives price C2
invd. At the same interpolation value s, use the principal-window inverses throughout
and decompose the intensity difference as
(fA −fZ)g−1
A −fZ(g−1
Z −g−1
A ).
This gives diagonal bound
pulseHead(e0) = [Cinv + (Q + 1)C2
inv]∆e0.
Positivity of the interpolated principal matrices gives continuity along s, justifying subtraction
of the two integrals; so integration and color summation yield | joint(A; e) −joint(Z; e)| ≤
dim(Color) pulseHead(e0). Each individual diagnostic is bounded by dim(Color)(Q + 1)Cinv.
For e outside the 30B seeds, flatten once on radius 6B. Single-coordinate impulses compare the
gauged and blank forms: trunk columns vanish in both, nearby nontrunk columns are hot in both,
rows farther than B/4 vanish in both, and all remaining rows are selected by the seed margin. The
transported-row bound gives entry error swell = 2 scale Kst colorScale(B+1)h0. Dormant diagonals
agree. Expanding ab −cd = (a −c)b + (b −d)c in D⊤D, with transpose row prices Y , gives plate
entry error repair = 2 swell Y on every read window.
Block-diagonal orthogonal gauge action preserves whole-link windows, principal inverses,
interpolation intensity and its color trace.
Hence joint is gauge invariant.
Flattening
gives h0
=
Zchw with rate −1/2;
radius and census factors have rate zero.
Therefore
Econd = dim(Color) pulseHead(repair) has rate −1/2 and bounds remote condensation, enlarging
its half factor harmlessly.
The lift retains whole-color windows and their common forest/tags,
so this determinant diagnostic transport is justified by the actual trace conjugation rather than
entrywise gauge invariance.

Exact cut-gap locality and a reliable cutofflogarithm
For a projection in which neighboring sites have projected separation at most one, a walk of length
at most R reads only its radius-R projected hull; the stored positive root of a negative link is paid by
that step. The fine plotted inputs at relevant rows require at most R further travel plus their four
plaquette steps; the noise input additionally queries its actual predictor through predictionReach.
Induction proves equality of transport under hull agreement. A plotted slot needs R + 4, while
cutoffF, I, N rows are banded at radius R and read their radius-R background hull. For the fine
F row, lift its designated route in the replica: its endpoint projects to the coarse column and its
cutoffbounds the projected separation. The lane rows use their coarse routes in the same way.
Consequently a transpose reads input rows within R and its coefficients agree under radius-2R
background agreement. The same holds for F ⊤Fw with arbitrary fixed w, since coefficients agree
individually, without a locality assumption on w.
The plotted, noise-predictor and coarse terms therefore give exact lGap locality when
D ≥3R + 4 + predictionReach,
with identical actual predictor tags. The three row-square terms of dGap agree already under 2R
background agreement, so this same D suffices for every fixed input array. These prove the local
gap identities used in the chart transfer, without changing any clipping indicators in an unrelated
data array.
Choose a smooth profile χ valued in [0, 1], equal to one on the inner unit interval and zero
beyond its prescribed outer interval. The inner-share operation evaluates it at (chord(U)/d)2, a
smooth squared matrix norm. Define
cutLogd(U) = χinnerShare(d, chord(U)) log(mat(U)).
The cutoffequals one on the inner shell and is zero beyond 2d. For local constants C, s, analytic
matrix radius t and inverse exponential color radius R, take
r = 1
2 min(s, t/ colorScale, R/C),
γ = C.
For 0 < d ≤r, every point with chord at most 2d obeys all three chart conditions and its logarithm
has norm at most R. Nonzero cutoffvalues imply chord strictly below 2d. The ordinary logarithm
is only required to have its chart properties on this latter shell. Applying the inverse identity to
Ad(v) log U and −log U proves conjugation covariance and inversion oddness there. The invariant
cutoffextends both to all group arguments. Its global size is at most 2γd, and on chord at most d it
is the genuine inverse chart. Smoothness follows from analytic composition on the outer shell and
an identically zero neighborhood outside it; continuity implies Borel measurability. No regularity
of an exterior logarithm choice is used. Readout preserves the hull, tags and squared-chord cutoff
together, so these exact identities apply to the realized cut gaps and later signals on precisely the
same domains.
12.23
Sector signals and a common grafted chart
Fix forest F, coarse V , tags and frozen values Y . Hot links are nontrunks whose coarse endpoints
avoid the 10B seed dome. Input puts exp(ue) replica(V )e on hot links, frozen Y on other nontrunks
and prescribed tree values on trunks. It remains on the same slice for all u. Define small(e, U)
as the cutofflogarithm of Ue replica(V )−1
e
at radius width t.
Saved is this logarithm on frozen
nontrunks and zero elsewhere; lens is u on hot links and zero elsewhere. Signal is saved plus lens,
hence zero on trunks.

Shell access at width equal to shellPrice makes the discrepancy chord at most width t under
Interior, uniformly over forests and actual inputs. Taking x large puts width fiery in the reliable-
log radius; the constants are chosen once after L. On hot links the grafting identity is definitional;
on trunks it is the replica/tree identity; on frozen nontrunks the uncut logarithm recovers the
discrepancy. Saved is globally bounded by 2γ width t. Thus Interior throughout a radius-B hull,
hot tangent bound M and 2γ width t ≤M prove grafting there.
Outside the (11B + 1) seed
neighborhood, every nontrunk in that hull is hot: otherwise an endpoint touches the 10B dome
and its parent is within one further site, contradicting the separation. Thus grafting follows directly
without Interior for any nonnegative tangent bound. These are the required packet-annulus and
optional remote-letter constructions, respectively.
For clean coarse background on radius d + 1, flatten to exp b in one gauge, ∥b∥≤v(x) of
rate −1/2. Grafting on radius d with rate-−1/2 tangent bound H transforms the fine field to
exp(Ad(g)u) times the replica of the gauged coarse field. Product-triangle bounds then give gauged
fine chords by Dch(H + v), because replica links are identity or coarse links. The single rate-−1/2
envelope W = H + v + DchH + Dchv bounds all chart data eventually, with no exterior condition.
Restricting from B/2 to B/4 allows affine accuracy. The enlarged envelope W supplies both its
background-log and tangent bounds. All entry, replica and straightened-row terms rotate by the
same root adjoint, transporting size rate −1/2 and error rate −1 back to the original fields.
The identity cover field has frame, connectors and predictor all identity with strict minimum
tests. Continuity on these branches, simultaneously over finite axes/tags, gives a product neigh-
borhood for any chord tolerance. This proves the finite-stencil branch activation used in the local
chart-mark argument without requiring any tags or defaults away from the finite hull. Choose the
finite set I of restricted cover links and a common positive chord radius r meeting each coordinate
neighborhood; chord-to-matrix conversion uses the fixed factor colorScale. Let k be the largest
coordinate-order route length from zero to a root in I. Expanding any torus input at the embed-
ded coarse root sends each required cover link to a fine link whose coarse-parent distance is at most
that route length, hence at most k. Parent-distance chord bounds therefore place the expanded field
in this same neighborhood, uniformly in period, with actual endpoint tags. The actual connector
equals the cover test connector with its actual two endpoint tags, so its predictor meets the chosen
tolerance. Every fallback tag has the same best value there, and normalized site/pin masses are
one, their unnormalized values being reciprocal tag counts.
Choose eventually k ≤B/2 and W ≤min(r, δ/4). Gauge invariance preserves masses; wire
discrepancy is at most coarse chord W plus predictor chord δ/2.
A four-link plaquette in the
unchanged hull has chord at most 4W. Thus both actual wire and fine plaquette meet the desired
small-curvature threshold. The uniform branch-cutoffand predictor estimates in this chapter give
this finite-stencil estimate. The same chart proves that the actual local branch tags and holonomies
lie in any prescribed small neighborhood eventually. The lift retains the same sector, frozen data
and tag census; this local activation does not specify branch outcomes outside the finite hull.
12.24
Global and localized mismatch bounds
Let a cut transported row F and full flat F0 have row/column prices at most C, difference prices
Cq0, and input comparisons ∥tj∥≤Ch, ∥fj −tj∥≤Chq0. The exact ordered decomposition
F ⊤f −F ⊤
0 t = F ⊤(f −t) + (F −F0)⊤t
and the column-sum estimates give error 2C2hq0 at every output coordinate. Applying the same
estimate to f = Fw, t = F0w gives ∥F ⊤Fw −F ⊤
0 F0w∥≤2C2∥w∥∞q0. Choose C to dominate the
fine and coarse plotted bounds, predictor-noise bound and all three kernel bounds, intersect chart

radii and take τ = min(τkernel, widthtop, widthbelow /L) > 0, q0 = widen(R, h, τ). Noise’s quadratic
remainder uses h ≤q0.
The uncut flat cross-roll identity cancels the lGap linear terms, leaving two transpose/input
errors and one coarse plotted error; the full diagonal-roll identity cancels the three flat row squares
against w. Hence
∥lGap ∥≤(4C2 + C)hq0,
∥dGap(w)∥≤6C2∥w∥∞q0.
The common 6C2 + C pays both, including cutoffand transport errors for every R ≥0, short
periods and winding routes. The local transfer described next uses exactly these same gaps.
For local chord bounds h in one common fine/coarse gauge on radius d satisfying
d ≥3R + 4 + predictionReach,
the bounded logarithm extension gives global a, b agreeing with the actual fine/coarse links there
and bounded by Alogh. Let X = max(1, Alog) and require h ≤min(slog, rglobal/X). Exact gap
locality identifies the global comparison with the actual tested gaps. Gauge covariance rotates lGap,
and rotates both dGap and its arbitrary input w, preserving its independent bound q. Because
X ≥1 and both widening summands are nonnegative,
widen(R, Xh, τ) = (1 + R)Xh + e−τR ≤X widen(R, h, τ).
Thus, enlarging the global constant gives
∥lGap ∥≤CX2h widen(R, h, τ),
∥dGap(w)∥≤CX2q widen(R, h, τ).
The source lift preserves this fixed arbitrary input during background replacement. In particular
changing exterior links is not assumed to regenerate the same thinned data array: when w is the
actual thinned data, changing the links outside the hull need not preserve that entire array. Only
its separately retained supremum bound is used.
12.25
Quartic curvature deficit
For every U
∈G, not only near identity, the Lie projection satisfies Pg(mat(U) −1) =
colorMat(curvature(U)). Subtract the skew part (mat(U) −mat(U)∗)/2 from mat(U) −I. The
remainder is self-adjoint, orthogonal to every skew-adjoint Lie matrix by cyclicity of trace in the
real Frobenius pairing. The surviving Lie projection of the skew part is the defining curvature.
Pythagoras therefore gives exactly
colorScale2[chord(U)2 −∥curvature(U)∥2] = ∥mat(U) −1 −Pg(mat(U) −1)∥2.
Focus fixes nearby group matrices and has derivative Pg at identity. Its ambient analytic remainder
bounds the last norm by C∥mat(U)−1∥2 for that norm at most r. Squaring and restoring colorScale
gives, with K = C2 colorScale2,
chord(U)2 −K chord(U)4 ≤∥curvature(U)∥2.
For δ = min(r/ colorScale,
p
1/(4K)), chord at most δ gives K chord(U)2 ≤1/4 and therefore
curvature square at least 3/4 chord square.
Constants depend only on the group and precede
block-length selection. This is a group-point restriction of an ambient analytic estimate, not a
global configuration logarithm. The lift preserves both the global projection identity and the local

smallness domain under conjugation, with the same physical color normalization. For the source–
readout correspondence, conjugation by a group matrix is an orthogonal action on the ambient real
Frobenius space and preserves its Lie subspace. Therefore it commutes with Pg, and preserves the
normal-projection norm in the exact deficit identity. The framed plaquette readout is conjugate to
the physical plaquette by its base frame, so the deficit, quartic bound and chord threshold recover
unchanged. Evaluation on the identity-frame section returns the physical equality. Thus the local
estimate uses precisely the same group-only constants and smallness condition after realization.
12.26
Soft curvature and noise remainders
Define flaw(g) = [chord(g)2 −∥curvature(g)∥2]/2 ≥0. On a retained fine plaquette within its
clipping threshold, expansion gives
crown = direct flaw(face U) + 1
2
X
i∈Bool
∥entryface,i(U)∥2.
The guide cross term and square complete both bill squares, bill being entry minus guide. Thus
workF is direct times flaw plus those two half-squares.
Without a retention premise, workI is
penalty times flaw(V Q−1) plus its single bill half-square, with actual Q = prediction(U, k) and the
same guide.
Affine accuracy bounds entry by M of rate −1/2 and bill-minus-reply by E of rate −1; sub-
tracting the same guide leaves that affine error unchanged. The coarse maximum bounds guide by
A fiery, so bill has size m = M + A fiery. Factoring squared norms gives

2∥v∥2 −1
2∥w∥2 ≤E(2m + E)/2 =: Z
for ∥v∥≤m, ∥v −w∥≤E; Z has rate −3/2. Local branch activation puts the actual fine and
noise holonomies in the quartic-deficit neighborhood. On this neighborhood the earlier bounds are
chord(g)2 −J chord(g)4 ≤∥curvature(g)∥2 and 3
4 chord(g)2 ≤∥curvature(g)∥2. A scaled curvature

have rate −2. The envelope F = X + Y + 2Z of rate −3/2 bounds each soft energy minus its
affine reply half-square sum. The factor two pays the two fine coordinates; noise has one. Readout
preserves the exact square completion and the retained/clipped fine-plaquette domain before using
these bounds; the unconditional noise identity is kept distinct.
12.27
Outer corrections and light annulus bounds
On a clean radius-(B/4 + 1) hull, the flattened N guide has zero linear part and error e of rate
−1, and gauge covariance preserves its norm, so its half-square workN is bounded by e2/2, of rate
−2. For C, toll at most temp makes clipping exactly one, including at zero. Its exact formula gives
workC nonpositive, and the quartic estimate gives absolute bound (directbelow J/2)(2 fiery)4 since
temp is at most 2 fiery, again rate −2.
Use the same clean grafted local gauge for the L, D mismatch terms, with common rate-
−1/2 envelope W.
For e = widen(R, W, τ) the local gap bounds give ∥lGap ∥≤CWe and
∥dGap(vision)∥≤Cde, d = A fiery, using the actual maximum bound on vision. Cauchy–Schwarz
bounds each L inner product by M = dCWe and each D half-inner-product by V/2 = dCde/2,

and two Bool coordinates imply | workL | + | workD | ≤2M + V , of rate −3/2: widening preserves
the rate −1/2 of W, and both products have rate −3/2. The layered-extension and interior-gap
estimates supply these bounds. All terms share actual U, V, Q.
The light estimate is decomposed into four already specified energy types: the soft curva-
ture/noise remainder, the N correction, the coarse C correction and the L/D mismatch corrections.
Sum their four envelopes into nonnegative Elight of rate −3/2, weakening the rate-−2 bounds if
needed. A selected fine curvature row extracts its two real-path half-squares, while a selected noise
row extracts one, so the soft bounds give absolute remainder estimates there. At unselected curva-
ture/noise rows extraction is zero and flaw plus half-squares are nonnegative; only a lower bound
is asserted. Such a row therefore satisfies the lower bound without an absolute-value claim. The
coarse C row has no extracted parent contribution and uses its C, L, D envelopes; the N row uses
its N envelope.
These claims require a clean radius-B coarse hull and grafted rate-−1/2 tangent bound. Before
a signed turn restrict to B/2+1, yielding B/2 afterwards and paying the reversed-link shift; read the
maximum condition in that same background. On the packet annulus inside 200B seeds but outside
2B, Wide bounds through 300B, tangent control through 304B and 2γ width t ≤w(x) give grafting
and cleanliness. Actual toll bounds make retained selectors one, hence original debit equals light
and debit is at least −Elight. This uses no derivative of a hard selector and no globally small gauge.
The soft-remainder, outer-correction and grafted-signal estimates of this chapter provide these four
envelopes and the required shell access. The lift retains each selection status and this enforcement
domain; it neither differentiates a hard selector nor converts the lower bound for unselected rows
into an absolute bound.
12.28
Physical operator allowances and path-series bounds
For width η ≥0 and cover price P
z eη|z|∥Kαβ(z)∥≤C, each routed summand has norm at most
its absolute coefficient: adjoint travel is isometric even when winding. Endpoint congruence selects
exactly one input/output site for a fixed displacement. Absolute summation before periodization
gives row price |β|C and column price |α|C, retaining all coincident-endpoint displacements. For
the fine/coarse row the per-type price is C/L2 with input type comprising the fine residue and
two-layer plaquette type, and L4 residues; the corresponding row and column allowances are a/L2
and aL2. Noise and tight rows have common allowance a. The source takes the finite type-census
maxima with one independently of the later L, W choices.
A nonzero cut term has endpoint distance at most route length, bounded by B/100000 ≤B/50.
The parent map foreshortens adjacent fine steps. The route from the lifted fine residue to Lz ends
at the embedded coarse site parent(x)+wrap(z); this remains true for wrapping routes by additivity
of wrapping and the cover route endpoint identity. This is incidence support, not a claim about
every datum read by the operation.
For full path labels (ci, si) retain the nonnegative matrix
Mpu =
X
i
|ci|1{d length(si)≤R, landing(si,p)=u}.
For each source plaquette type, the weighted budget P
i |ci|eσ length(si) ≤P gives row sums P. Each
fixed label/type fixes the source site for a landing, hence column sums qP. Absolute convergence jus-
tifies exchanges. Curvature chord and transport bounds give ∥shorten(U, p)∥≤P
u Mpu toll(U, u).
At a kept source the selector bounds toll at distance k by tek/ρ; landing distance at most slot length
and σρ ≥1 yield shortening size Pt.

direct pays rows, columns and direct clamp. Both thinned branches
have size at most Astaget: shortening uses the kept estimate and the direct branch uses min(1, t/r),
with zero curvature at r = 0. Reach margins hold eventually: for t = temp(x + a), tek/ρ < 2 and
t ≥(x + a)−1/2 imply k/ρ < log x once 2√x + a ≤x. Since B ≥(log x)2, for sufficiently large log x
this gives k + 1 ≤B/50, and the cut length plus one also fits; parent distances add at most one.
These observations supply both the shortening stencil reach and the discarded-witness reach used
above.
The shift a = G. slopeConstant log L ≥0 follows from the minus-Killing sum of squares. At fixed
shift eventually temp(x) ≤2temp(x+a) using √x + a ≤2√x and monotonicity of the nonnegative
logarithmic temperature factor. With A = Atop + Abelow and operator allowance C, the common
d = 2A(1 + C) > 0 gives
∥vision ∥≤dt,
∥Mv∥≤dL−2t,
∥Mw∥≤dt.
Indeed coarse vision is bounded by 2At, and the fine/noise row allowances give these three bounds.
Both stage lane counts use this same d fixed before L, W, with late cutoffchosen afterwards.
These prove the operator and maximum hypotheses used throughout the preceding energy esti-
mates. Readout preserves the full label census, selector branch and dimensional factors, rather
than collapsing repeated paths or replacing incidence support by total-read locality.
12.29
Fine income and discarded-row accounting
Let a, b, p, t > 0 be the direct quadratic/linear coefficients, noise penalty and fine threshold. For
plaquette chords ri, let K be the listed large plaquettes ri > t and Z = P
i∈K ri. Actual plot
conditions put listed nonlarge plaquettes in [t/4, t] and list every large plaquette in the required
five-radius dome. The direct and second components are

Ei = 1kept(i)

Use ∥shooti ∥≤√ari, clipping ar2
i /2 below threshold and btri above, and response bounds ∥vν
i ∥≤
εt. Square completion gives Di ≥(√ari −∥v0
i ∥)2/2 for ri ≤t. Thus ε ≤√a/8 pays at2/128 on
each listed small plaquette, while ε√a ≤b/4 pays 3btri/4 on large ones. Unlisted summation rows
have ri ≤t and hence nonnegative direct part, hence
X
i
Di ≥(3b/4)tZ + (a/128)t2|costs \ K|.
A discarded row has a witness j with rj > tedist(i,j)/ρ. Such a row lies within radius ⌊ρ log(rj/t)⌋
of j, including all plaquette types, for fixed relaxation length ρ > 0. Its witness ball contains at
most Hρ(rj/t) rows, Hρ = (8ρ + 1)4|PlaqAxes|, by 2⌊ρ log y⌋+ 1 ≤(8ρ + 1)e(log y)/4. Raise the last
inequality to the fourth power for y ≥1. Local witness reach puts j in the five-radius dome, so
rj > t makes it a member of K. Thus the discarded set X obeys t|X| ≤HρZ on the original fine
lattice, without an L4 factor.
For shortening majorant Mij ≥0 with row/column prices C, support reach ensures all con-
tributing j /∈K have rj ≤t. Therefore ∥ui∥≤Ct + P
j∈K Mijrj for i ∈X, and summing uses
Ct|X| ≤CHρZ plus the majorant column bound to give P
i∈X ∥ui∥≤C(Hρ + 1)Z. Kept rows

This argument does not assume a good halo at a discarded row. The lift retains witnesses, listed
sets and shortening multiplicities on the same fine lattice, so no unearned positivity or extra block
census enters the sum. For noise rows ni = wirei, the exact energy is at least (√p ni −∥vi∥)2/2.
Listed aisles have ni ≥wt, and ∥vi∥≤Ct with C ≤√p w/2 pays pn2
i /8 each; other noise rows
are nonnegative. Choose the response constant C before L, then ε = C/L2. First enlarge L for
all three fine-income restrictions, next choose w ≥2C/√p, and only then take the late scale. The
resulting fine coefficient remains exactly a/128 > 0.
12.30
Macro multiplicity and spending census
Put R = j + 8.
If twice macro radius (j + 7)L is below the fine period, coincident periodic
displacements there are identical, so M(i, z) ≤1. Nonzero multiplicity implies dist(i, parent z) ≤R,
by multiplying the coarse distance by L, bounding the embedded-base displacement by (j + 7)L,
adding the at-most-L/2 parent offset, and applying the triangle inequality and integer rounding.
Therefore P
i M(i, z) ≤(2R + 1)4. Grouping the finite displacement/plaquette sums proves the
port identity with actual multiplicities; the period condition is needed for the column bound, not
that identity. The macro census used here has a period qualification, already included in the step
hypotheses.
A store has at most four base sites per share, because a fine plaquette has at most four corner
parents, a noise bond at most two pins, and a flag one site. Hence faces in its radius-r dome number
at most V (r) shares, V (r) = 4(2r + 1)4q, and V (2B) ≤V (2)B4 for B ≥1. Apply this separately
to original and spending stores. Each flag touches a coarse face above temperature, and each face
has at most four corners, bounding flags by four times those faces.
Every coarse face with toll above fixed δ > 0 has a spending witness within R eventually.
Otherwise all macro-port fine tolls are at most spending threshold T, using listed witnesses and
unlisted t/2 ≤T; all four wires are at most T using 2Wt ≤T. The local predictor estimate would
bound its toll by
[4 + DL−2q| box((j + 7)L)|]T ≤δ
at late scale with fixed L, W, a contradiction. The distance bounds put every relevant input in

N = V (R) + V (2) + R + (2R + 1)4
pays macro columns/reach, δ-large face counts per spending share, and outer/affected counts NB4
per respective share. Readout preserves the original/spending-store distinction and actual multi-
plicities rather than assigning an independent copy to repeated periodic data.

The four boundary terms count repetitions. Each fixed boundary-position map from face base to

E ≤(4q + DqN)B =: b.
On each usable plaquette the predictor estimate reads toll V ≤fuel(Q, V ) + DL−2 port(U), with
D the local predictor-curvature comparison constant. Thus macroLarge(N, D) = 4q + DqN and
b = macroLarge(N, D)B.
The five-radius plot supplies toll U ≤t + E and wire ≤2Wt + F:
unlisted inputs use their upper thresholds, while listed inputs retain their full size in the excess.
Every three-radius face is usable because its required radius-one coordinate box lies inside the
listing dome; their boundary and macro stencils remain in the five-radius dome by reach and
B ≥1 + N.
The predictor-curvature comparison therefore gives toll V ≤rt + H, where r =
macroSmall(j, D, L, W) = 8W +DL−2Sj,L. The four wires contribute 8Wt and the macro row sum
contributes DL−2Sj,Lt. This row census needs no injectivity between distinct cover displacements.
For the 2m tested Boolean slots the actual operator row/column allowances give
X
∥Φ∗Xf∥≤2maL2ut + 2auB,
X
∥(Φ′)∗Z∥≤2mag(2Wt) + agB,
X
∥Xn∥≤2mvrt + 2vb.
Separate uniform small input from its nonnegative excess.
Fine small input uses column price
aL2, while large input uses row price a/L2 and excess at most 2u P E, retaining the inverse-square
saving. Noise uses narrow prices a and coarse input its direct excess bound. Stencil reach sends
each tested two-radius dome into the permitted input dome.
The lift retains this local excess
split and both matrix directions; swapping a row and column price would lose the stated block
factor. For departure L, vision has norm at most dt and pairs with Φ∗Xf + (Φ′)∗Z −Xn. Cauchy–
Schwarz bounds its sum below by −dt times the preceding three norm sums. For departure D
the residual size is at most (d + ad + ad + a2d)t: the wide aL2 cancels the dt/L2 response, with
narrow and tight terms adt, a2dt. Pairing and the two half-weighted slots give workD(p) ≥−d0t2,
d0 = d(d + ad + ad + a2d).
All charged third-range faces lie in s and have toll sum at most mrt + b. Coarse temperature
at most 2t therefore incorporates their linear charge. With l= low. linear, the exact choices give

To see the coefficient collection explicitly, the L pairing contributes at most
d(2au + ag + 2v macroLarge(N, D))tB + 2d(aL2u + 2agW + vr)t2m
to the negative departure. The D pairing adds d0t2m, while the payments relation, whose charged
third-range faces are all in s, adds at most 2lt(mrt + b). Substituting b = macroLarge(N, D)B

yields exactly the two displayed constants. The first is fixed before L, W; the second may depend
on both. Since m ≤NB4 shares(spend), the seat charge is at most (NCseat + 1)t2B4 shares(spend),
with a positive coefficient. Fine excess remains cut at t; only the spending census uses its larger
threshold. The lift keeps this distinction and the same affected set, so coarse charges are paid by
the actual fine/noise income rather than a differently truncated substitute.
12.32
Three coarse clipping ranges
Let r = toll(V, i), s = temp(x) ≥0, a = low. direct > 0 and b = low. linear. Set α = 1 at r = 0,
otherwise α = min(1, s/r). Shortening terms cancel exactly: kept rows contribute their matching
half-square and discarded rows have both tested terms zero. The direct remainder is
workC(i) = a(α −α2/2)∥curvature(V, i)∥2 −clips(r).
Choose group-only K, δ > 0 giving curvature square at least r2 −Kr4 and 3r2/4 for r ≤δ. In the
small range r ≤s ≤δ, α = 1 gives workC at least −aKs4/2. For s < r, one has 0 ≤α = s/r ≤1
and α −α2/2 ≥α/2, giving
workC(i) ≥as
2r∥curvature ∥2 −bsr.
Thus on s < r ≤δ, the curvature bound and clip hypothesis b ≤a/8 give explicitly
workC(i) ≥(3a/8 −b)sr ≥(a/4)sr.
On r > δ, dropping only the nonnegative curvature term yields workC at least −bsr.
Finally
the supplied x temp(x)3 ≤1 makes s ≤δ when x > δ−3.
The common late scale therefore
supplies all three ranges with small debit coefficient aK/2 and fixed group-only middle cutoff. The
lift preserves the exact branch values, including the zero-toll convention, without differentiating
selectors or replacing the outer lower bound by an absolute estimate.
12.33
Threshold ratios and stitch absorption
Fix L first. Set y = x + k for its fixed coupling shift, B = ⌈(log x)2⌉, R = ⌊B/100000⌋, t = temp(y)
and T = y−49/100. At these late scales temp(v) = v−1/2 exp((log log v)2). For every fixed real shift
k, the logarithm of temp(x + k)/temp(x) is
(log log(x + k))2 −(log log x)2 −1
2[log(x + k) −log x].
The bounded derivative of (log v)2 on [1, ∞), applied at the logarithmic arguments, bounds the first
difference by twice the log difference eventually. Hence the ratio tends to one. For every fixed n ≥0,
r > 0, Bn/yr →0 because eventually B ≤2(log x)2, every fixed logarithmic power is o(xr), and
the fixed shift leaves this comparison unchanged. The monitor bounds v−1/2 ≤temp(v) ≤v−1/2+p
for any p > 0 eventually imply
Bn temp(x) →0,
Bnt/T →0,
BnT →0,
BnT 2/t →0.
The first ratio uses p = 1/200, leaving the decaying power y−1/200; the last uses the lower bound
on t and exponent −48/100. It is T 2, not T, that is small relative to t.
Quadratic logarithmic growth of B makes e−τR ≤y−1 eventually for each fixed τ > 0, using
B ≤100000R + 100000 and log y ≤2 log x. Thus Bne−τR →0 and Bne−τR/t →0. For stitch size
h = CB10T and e = (1 + R)h + e−τR, expanding nonnegative terms and using R ≤B gives
Bnh →0,
Bnh2/t →0,
Bne →0,
Bnhe/t →0.

The first two stitch limits use the preceding bounds with exponents n + 10 and n + 20. Expand
e for the other two and use R ≤B; each nonnegative term is controlled by a preceding limit, and
the mixed tail also uses h →0. These limits pay dome-census stitch losses without a period or
share-count factor. The lift preserves the fixed-L order and original exponents, rather than treating
these as simultaneous limits in all construction parameters.
12.34
Finite-store budget inequalities
Let a = lineartop, p = penalty, t = fiery and u = largeT ≥t. For listed fine sets Ft, Fu above these
thresholds and R = P
Ft toll, one has t|Ft| ≤R, u|Fu| ≤R. The supplied tally (a/2)tR+dt2|costs\
Ft| therefore pays, when m ≤a/8, m ≤d, cF ≤a/4,
tallyF ≥mt2|costs| + mtu|Fu| + cF tR.
Indeed 2m + cF ≤a/2 and the cost partition pays each term. Original shares, spending subset and
mismatch fee remain separate.
Listed noise has wire at least Wt ≥t.
With RI = P
listed wire2, t2|aisles| ≤RI and
tu|spend_aisles| ≤RI. If C ≤pW/16, then Ct wire ≤(p/16) wire2. Using m ≤p/32, the supplied
(p/8)RI gives
tallyI ≥mt2|aisles| + mtu|spend_aisles| + Ct
X
listed
wire .
The coefficient budget is 2m + p/16 ≤p/8, since m ≤p/32: the first two terms each cost at
most mRI, and the fee costs at most (p/16)RI. The lower wire bound is the actual endpoint Plot
condition at a bond endpoint belonging to the store dome.
Split coarse outs into toll at most s = temp, between s and δ, and above δ. With s ≤δ, the
three-range estimates give respectively −Bquartics4, at least 4mt2 for m ≤directbelow /64, t ≤2s,
and −linearbelow s toll. Sum these disjoint ranges and enlarge the nonnegative small-range error
count to all outs. Hence
tallC + linearbelow s
X
toll>δ
toll +Bquartics4|outs| ≥4mt2#{s < toll ≤δ}.
Payments bounds flags by four times s-large tides and δ-large tides by K shares(spend). Subtracting
the latter subset gives |flags| ≤4[#{s < toll ≤δ} + K shares(spend)]. These are finite algebraic
consequences of the producer estimates and Payments, with no added period compatibility. The
lift retains gains at tu separately from original seed shares at t2 and carries every store set on the
same configuration.
12.35
Point-charge gain on the common store
Keep the same store, input, predictor and background. Set t = fiery(x), s = temp(x), u = largeT(x)
and B = radiusB(x). The fine producer gives (lineartop /2)t times its large-toll sum plus dt2 per
other listed fine toll, d > 0 after the block/width choices. Noise gives (penalty /8) P wire2. Choose
m > 0 at most lineartop /8, d, penalty /32, directbelow /64. The hit mismatch estimate is

Choose L to make cF ≤lineartop /4, then W ≥1 with C ≤penalty W/16. Listed-wire size Wt
makes its quadratic income absorb the linear loss; fine income absorbs cF . The coarse budget pays
its large-toll charge. The flag census costs four times the middle-range count plus 4K shares(spend),
and output count is at most KB4 shares.
At fixed preceding choices take the common late scale so s ≤δ, t ≤u, t ≤2s and
(4mK + ZB4)t2 ≤mtu,
Cquartics4KB4 ≤(m/4)t2.
Indeed the spending remainder is explicitly
[mtu −(4mK + ZB4)t2] shares(spend) ≥0.
The first pays spend flags and mismatch remainder from spending income; the second pays the
small coarse error. The unaffected mismatch costs at most another (m/4)t2 shares, and N tally
is nonnegative. These scale choices follow from t/s →1, B4t/u →0, B4s2 →0: divide the first
inequality by tu, and use s ≤2t for the second. They are uniform in live period.
Split hit/unaffected rows and add the finite-store fine, noise, coarse and flag inequalities. Posi-
tive remainders pay mt2 per original share before the two quarter losses, giving
assessed ≥(m/2)t2 shares .
The source lift retains the same store and all its contributions, with block length paying the fine
loss, W paying noise, then positive m fixed and the final delay paying remaining errors. These
positive remainders come from the exact fine, noise and coarse budget rearrangements above. No
later retuning of L, W or incompatible witness is used.
12.36
Unaffected mismatch and exact core assignment
The point-charge producer combines E01–E09 with this additional unaffected-row estimate derived
from the mismatch bounds. The stitching bound, its two displayed scale limits, and the census
and maximum estimates of this chapter supply its inputs. For an unaffected coarse plaquette row
outside the hit subset of the store outputs, put t = fiery. Vision is bounded by At, and stitching
gives one gauge with fine/coarse chords at most h = stitchCost on radius 2B/5, retaining forest
and tags. Choose the delay to contain 3 till +4 + predictionReach and meet the chart radius. With
e = widen(till, h, τ), local gaps give
workL + workD ≥−loss,
loss = 2AtChe + AtCAte.
Two L slots give the first factor two; the two half-weighted D terms give the last. There are at most
NB4 shares such rows. The stitching-scale limits are B4he/t →0 and B4e →0. Dividing their
total bound by t2 gives 2NACB4he/t + NA2CB4e →0. Thus every prescribed ε > 0 eventually
bounds total unaffected loss by εt2 shares, with unchanged actual input and predictor.
The resulting point-charge order is block lower demand n, L ≥n, sufficiently large W, then
positive μ, then a common late x. It is pointwise and uniform over coarse sides at least 100(1 + B),
funded data, forests and actual Plot inputs, giving assessed at least μt2 times shares. Passage from
the supplied grant intersects its delay with positivity of x, t and specializes its universal query; the
fine, noise, coarse-clipping and flag budgets provide the energy combination.
Row locations are fine plaquettes, noise bonds, coarse plaquettes bundling C, L, D, or N rows.
Their principal values are workF, workI, workC+workL+workD and workN, all at the same actual
input, coarse background and predictor. The coarse anchor is the parent of a fine-plaquette root,
79


## Source page 83

and the coarse root for the other types. Each fine plaquette parents two moment rows, noise one,
others none, with every moment row parented once. A signed row is selected when its signed coarse
anchor lies outside the ambient 6B seed dome; its surcharge is its real affine path half-square when
selected, zero otherwise. Extracted sums parent surcharges, debit is principal minus extracted, and
liftSq is the orientation average of extracted rows. Exact finite recombination gives
wholeGap +
X
noise
monetary = averages
X
rows
debits + liftSq .
The finite subtraction of extracted rows cancels exactly against liftSq, with C, L, D still bundled
at their common coarse plaquette. Signed noise covariance carries actual transformed tags and
preserves the finite bond sum. For a store contained in the ambient seed place, posted 2B core rows
are inside 6B, hence unselected with zero extraction. Their principal/debit sum is exactly assessed,
retaining the C, L, D bundle. Wide through d ≥5B implies Plot on its restriction and is preserved
by simultaneous rotation of fields, tags, forest and store.
Apply point-charge in each rotated
slice and average, with shares unchanged. The exact core assignment and point-charge inequality
proved in this chapter supply this step. The lift retains this entire recombination; extracted energy
is accounted for, not discarded when assigning the core.
12.37
Packet annulus and tariff
For a store Z in the ambient seed place, assessed is its posted 2B debit sum and assigned is the
corresponding 200B sum. Their difference is the finite annulus sum. Each row is at least −Y (x)
and the posted-row census per orientation is at most shares(Z) ballCost(200B +1) spots(L). Hence
assessed minus E(x) times shares is at most assigned, where spots(L) counts the row types per
coarse site and E = Y ballCost(200B + 1) spots(L) retains rate −3/2, since the radius factor has
rate zero. Averaging the same orientations and using point-charge gives
quoteNear(Z, u) ≥[μt2 −E(x)] shares(Z).
The domain retains Wide through 300B, tangent control through 304B and shell access. Connect-
edness of Z is not needed.
Ancillary expenses use the all-field condensation bound, eventual Haar-log bound one, swept-
neighborhood/ticket costs of order bill4 and frozen-measure negative log of order bill.
A fixed
Kup > 0 therefore gives steamLog plus tollFee times shares at most −β quoteNear +Kup bill5 shares.
For an admitted nonzero packet, seed consistency supplies ambient containment and actual
flags. Its nonzero ticket/sector profiles supply the same 300B Wide domain, and enforcement gives
hot bound 2at through 304B. The width condition γ width ≤a pays frozen tangents. Thus the
quote applies to that actual field, forest and tags. Since β ≤2βF and E has rate −3/2, eventually
βE ≤1 ≤bill5. Substitution of the quote bound into the full expense estimate gives the exponent
[−βμt2 + βE + Kup bill5] shares(Z) ≤[−βμt2 + (1 + Kup) bill5] shares(Z).
Exponentiation proves
| Pack(Z, u)| ≤exp{[(1 + Kup) bill(x)5 −βμt2] shares(Z)}.
Zero packets satisfy it immediately. This is cap one, expense (1 + Kup) bill5 and gain βμt2 per
share, pointwise before frozen-Haar/Gaussian integration. The lift retains the whole packet once,
including its tag and guard costs, and applies the income only on the nonzero-enforcement domain
that earns it.

Compulsory packet factors and normalization expense
For seed store A, visitd(A) consists of fine bonds with a coarse endpoint in its radius-d dome, and
pens is its nontrunk visit10B. Set mg(β) = chartScale(
√
2πβ−1/2)dim Color. The full exponent is
steamLog = −β[quoteNear(A, u) + farBills(A)]
+
X
visit200B(A)
condensation(e) +

plaza(dome304B(A))
gentry(e, u) −| pens(A)| log mg(β).
FarBills is the nonnegative orientation-average of extracted mean half-squares on posted 200B
rows. Multiply its exponential by the order profile, actual 300B tag tickets and sector profiles,
and 304B tangent enforcement to obtain the nonnegative packet.
Nonzero packet forces every
individual enforcement cone there nonzero. Profiles are in [0, 1]; ticket bound etollFee shares gives
| steam | ≤esteamLog + tollFee shares, paying its whole ticket cost once.
For nonnegative upper bounds Q0, C0, K0 on absolute condensation, absolute gentry and
−log mg, endpoint census gives | visitd(A)| ≤shares(A) ballCost(d + 2)L4|Axis|. The gentry plaza
is contained in visit304B(A) and pens in visit10B(A), so dropping only −β farBills bounds ancillary
expense by
shares(A)[Q0 swept(200B + 2) + C0 swept(304B + 2) + K0 swept(10B + 2)],
where swept(d) = ballCost(d)L4|Axis|, in addition to −β quoteNear. Finally
−log mg = −log chartScale −dim(Color) log

2 dim(Color) log β.
For 0 < β ≤2βF , monotonicity gives log β ≤log(2βF ). Thus the entire measure expense has
an upper bound depending only on log(2βF ) and fixed chart/color constants, and is eventually
bounded above by Cmeasure Delay. bill(x), without a lower coupling-band assumption. The point-
charge core bound and the packet annulus estimate show that the gain in quoteNear dominates
these counted expenses. Core and annulus income pay these exact counts. The source lift retains
frozen-measure normalization, all individual guards and the nonnegative farBills term, even when
the bound drops that term by its justified sign.
12.39
The short correction family
Retain three local letter kinds with their fixed geometric sleeves. The signed energy letter outside
the 200B seed neighborhood is
−β orientation[enforce2a(u, booth(o)) light(u) + extracted(μ)],
and zero inside. Condensation is zero when either bond endpoint touches that dome. The Haar-log
letter is retained only at hot links outside the 304B plaza.
On the original seeded sector, remote light equals the energy debit. Noise equality is definitional.
For curvature turn fields, tags and store together: sector membership and positive likelihood supply
Interior. If a queried retention threshold is below two, room puts that read within Interior and toll
is at most t/2; if it is at least two, the universal chord bound supplies retention. The retained path
field is therefore unchanged and exact curvature splitting identifies light with debit. This sector
hypothesis is needed for that equality, not for the following all-field envelope.
The protected mean has path bound A of rate −1, so at most two parent half-squares bound
extracted by A2. Let J of rate −3/2 bound light on a clean grafted hull with tangent size 4a fiery,
81


## Source page 85

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
and let Econd of rate −1/2 bound remote condensation. If enforcement vanishes, its light product is
zero. Otherwise its protection bounds every booth tangent by 4a fiery and distant grafting supplies
the same clean hull; the profile is at most one, giving product bound J. Seed separation supplies
the required parent/hull margins.
For 0 < β ≤2βF , orientation in [0, 1], the energy letter is bounded by Wshort = 2βF (J + A2)
of rate −1/2: βF has rate one, J rate −3/2, and A2 rate −2. Haar is bounded by C fiery of that
rate. Hence Eshort = Econd + C fiery +Wshort is an eventual nonnegative all-field envelope for all
three kinds and admissible couplings. A bond touching the dome at an endpoint has its parent in
the one-site enlargement; conversely, if it does not touch the dome its parent is outside it. These
endpoint facts justify the condensation exclusion. The light, remote-condensation, grafted-signal,
mean and Haar estimates supply the inputs to the common envelope. The lift preserves the three
letter identities and the distinction between sector equality and all-field bounds, retaining actual
enforcement rather than differentiating or dropping its hard support.
Provenance of the two bounds in the short correction family.
The two bounds used by
the short correction family are outputs of earlier constructions and not separate suppositions. The
light bound is J = E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 from the annulus estimates, with grafted tangent bound
4a fiery(x): the soft-square and mismatch terms have rate −3/2 and the two quartic or squared-
guide corrections have rate −2, so after weakening the latter J has rate −3/2. The condensation
bound is Econd = dim g·pulseHead(repair) from the local plate comparison: its repair envelope has
rate −1/2, its window census has rate zero and its fixed inverse-window constants do not depend
on x, so Econd has rate −1/2. In the realization these are the same scalar functions of the tagged
level, read from the same annulus and plate records; the rate calculus (finite sums keep the larger
rate, products add rates) is applied to identical numbers, so the lifted short family has the same
two rates and no rate is introduced by the lift.
12.40
Base stroke at a fixed multiple of the small-field scale
For integer n set pcap(n) = 32(2(n + 1) + 1)5|PlaqAxes|. Axial flattening on radius n + 1 and temp
at most 2t give radius-n chord bound pcap(n)t. Here n is fixed per finite query, not increased to
B.
For a replica plaquette with clean radius-five hull use n = 4. Its replica links are identity or
gauged coarse links, bounded by pcap(4)t. Replacing exterior links by identity leaves its product
unchanged; chord and curvature norm are at most 4 pcap(4)t. Every retained fine base-moment slot
lands at such a plaquette within the original clean radius-B hull: its actual path length is bounded
by till(x), and the room inequalities ensure this inclusion. Adjoint travel preserves curvature norm,
so absolute path summation and the direct coordinate give
∥Xf,R(replica(V ))∥≤4 pcap(4)(
q
directtop + pathstop)t =: C1t.
A common gauge for all slots is unnecessary because only each curvature norm is estimated.
For noise instead fix n = predictionReach(D). Flatten that fixed hull and extend its logarithm
to b with ∥b∥≤At, A = Alog pcap(n). Its linear copy a obeys the same bound and exponential
replica identity. Predictor locality with actual tags identifies the base noise with z Test(a, b). Its
uniform Taylor bound gives size at most J∥(a, b)∥2 + J∥(a, b)∥≤2JAt eventually, with At ≤1
and the chart radius. Gauge covariance returns the original bound. Thus C1 + 2JA bounds every
clean-hull base stroke by a fixed multiple of t; this is the crowns input to the global mean bound,
obtained without spending an extra growing-radius factor. The lift retains which queries share

a gauge and which need only invariant norms; it does not combine distinct local gauges into an
unsupported global preparation.
12.41
Global mean, stationary residual and Gaussian rearrangement
Keep the global estimate separate from the sharper remote path estimate. Use the selected rows,
frozen cutofffield and inverse-window bounds. If base stroke is at most A0t, guide at most Mt,
oriented operator at most N and saved field at most 2γKt, selected-row cleanliness gives
∥priced(0)∥≤scale(A0 + M + 2NγK)t =: b1t.
Unselected rows are zero.
This uses the saved bound without a global gauge.
The transpose
price Y gives coordinate bill bound |bi| ≤Y b1t =: b0t. Let P be the inverse-column pad and
μcount = −P ⊤b. Its column price Cinv = payE then gives |μcount,i| ≤Cinvb0t and color-field mean
at most dim(Color)Cinvb0t. Symmetry of A−1 yields exactly
Aμcount + b = −A(P −A−1)⊤b.
Plate price Q and pad error give residual bound Q distPay(B)b0t.
Taking Cmean
=
1 + max(b0, b1, dim(Color)Cinvb0, 0) bounds all three global quantities.
The residual has any
prescribed rate k, because the scraps estimate, hence distPay, has rate k +1/2 and t has rate −1/2.
This supplies the mean/residual hypotheses of the correction budgets. The clean base-stroke and
uniform maximum estimates supply A0, M.
For the exact exponent retain A = D⊤D+Ssleep, mean μ in count coordinates, bill b, covariance
Cref > 0 and g = β−1/2. Expanding finite affine squares gives
liftSq(μ + gz) = liftSq(μ) + g⟨z, b + D⊤Dμ⟩+ 1
2g2⟨z, D⊤Dz⟩.
This polarization expands each affine-row square and sums its finite color coordinates. Dormant
mean is zero. With ghost = ⟨z, Ssleepz⟩/2, βg2 = 1 and βg = g−1, rearrangement yields

Here the linear coefficient is exactly bhβ = −g−1(Aμ + b), since Ssleepμ = 0. The last term is the

first correction. Ghost supplies the dormant diagonal with normalized integral one. This pointwise
identity holds regardless of later profile zeros or sector events. The lift retains the same count
coordinates and every exponent term before any integration.

Pointwise Gaussian chain corrections

−g−1(A drift +b).
The first correction at a link is its finite color pairing with z, multiplied by
aperture: the cone profile at twice enforcement radius on hot links and one otherwise. An itinerary
of n + 2 link steps has half-bilinear quadratic correction with the ordered block product of n + 1

factors −Serr and terminal A, multiplied by both endpoint apertures. At fixed starting link and
n, summing itineraries restores the intermediate link/color sums of matrix multiplication, hence
exactly (−Serr)n+1A. The terminal factor remains in its value and price.
Dormant plate/covariance rows and columns are identity, so Serr vanishes if either endpoint is
dormant. Mean and bill vanish there too. Induction along a nonzero chain shows both endpoints
hot: the final A cannot connect hot to a distinct dormant identity row. Let g = gStep(β) > 0. If
∥μe∥≤Kt, nonzero endpoint aperture gives ∥μe + g atmos(z)e∥≤4at, hence
∥atmos(z)e∥≤g−1t(4a + K) = heat(a, K, t, β).
An envelope U at least heat bounds each endpoint color coordinate, and aperture is at most one.

Nonzero itineraries are armed:
every parent hop is at most 3B, else the finite-range discrep-
ancy/plate block vanishes. Define capQ by this geometric bound on armed itineraries and zero
elsewhere. Splitting zero aperture, zero pairing and nonzero cases proves the pointwise bound for
all z. The lift retains ordered hops, full color census and endpoint apertures; these bounds use no
extra Gaussian tail event and no deletion of the terminal plate.

Each continuous diagonal is bounded by (Q + 1) payE ρn, uniformly in s. The interval has length
one, so the sum of the norms of the diagonal integrals is bounded by the same summable geomet-
ric majorant, independently of s. Thus integral and series commute absolutely, before the finite
coordinate sum. Writing its diagonal integrals as lacti(n) and localBasei =lacti(0) gives

Uniform qn+1 bounds justify the exchange. For E = ACref −I, positive determinants identify this

arms and their local prices, using uniform summability before finite coordinate sums; a global
volume factor is not silently treated as a local bound.
12.44
Itinerary receipts, scalar stamps and address counts
An itinerary of k hops retains an initial fine link and an ordered list of k successors. A hop armed
at radius d has a pair of coarse endpoints within d; since parents are within one site of either
endpoint, successive parents are within d + 2. The town of a link is the mB halo of its two coarse
endpoints. It contains its parent and lies in its radius-(mB + 1) ball, hence in radius (m + 1)B for
the positive lattice scale B. Write steady(m) = ballCost(m+1). Its B-cover uses at most this many
tiles. The receipt includes the towns of all links, including initial and final links. If d + 2 ≤mB,
consecutive towns meet: the successor parent lies in both. The meeting-support covering inequality
and induction give
coverNumberB(receipt) ≤(k + 1) steady(m).
For tenure, points in the first town lie within mB + 1; points in the remaining receipt pay at
most d + 2 to its next parent and then its inductive bound. Thus, using d + 2 ≤mB + 1, the
same induction puts every receipt point within (k + 1)(mB + 1) of the initial parent. These are
respectively the covering and tenure inputs to the address census.
For continuous matrix factors Ps(0), Ps(1), . . ., define the stamp of a returning itinerary by
integrating over 0 ≤s ≤1 the color trace of its ordered block product; nonreturning itineraries
contribute zero. Expansion of finite matrix multiplication gives exactly

k-hop itineraries

Continuity ensures integrability, and the fixed-order sum is finite. For the determinant arm the
source chooses
Ps(0) = A −I,
Ps(1) = pad(I + s(A −I)),
Ps(j) = −error(I + s(A −I))
(j ≥2).
An order-n label has n + 3 hops and restores the integrated grade-(n + 1) intensity, with all n + 1
discrepancy factors. For the source arm it chooses Ps(0) = flawed(A) and Ps(j) = −s flawed(A) for
j ≥1; the order-n label has n + 1 hops and restores the integrated grade-n note. The color trace

color sum give
|stamp| ≤Rk+1

Y

lj.
An itinerary unarmed at the common factor range has a zero block and hence zero stamp. The
interval length is one, so no additional integration factor enters the displayed entry-product price.
These exact identities supply the pointwise arm prices.
Under source realization the factor at a hop from one link-color space to the next uses the section
and readout of those endpoints. Intermediate readout–section compositions are identities. On a
returning itinerary the resulting color block is conjugate by its starting-frame action to the physical
ordered product; its finite color trace is unchanged. Recovery on the identity-frame section returns
that same scalar stamp. The receipt retains the full ordered itinerary, even when links repeat, so
this scalar invariance introduces no quotient of the address census.
An order-n ledger with u extra steps has n + u hops. Its receipt is the prescribed union of
enlarged neighborhoods visited along that itinerary. Set
DL = L4|Axis|,
aL,d = ballCost(d + 2)DL.
Here DL = density(L) and aL,d = abundance(L, d).
Every successor parent lies in the radius-
(d + 2) ball, and the fine-link caption census is DL. The parent census therefore bounds successors
per armed hop by aL,d, and thus k-hop itineraries from a specified initial link by ak
L,d. Assume
d + 2 ≤mB and B > 0, so the covering and tenure bounds just established apply. For a fixed
receipt site x, the tenure bound permits at most ballCost((n + u + 1)(mB + 1))DL starting links.
For nonnegative coefficients bounded by CQn on armed addresses and zero elsewhere, retain both
tarifffactors exp(2εn) and exp(Asupport coverNumberB). The inequalities n+u+1 ≤(u+1)2n and
the four-dimensional ball formula imply
ballCost((n + u + 1)g) ≤ballCost((u + 1)g)16n.
The support tariffis at most exp(Asupport(n + u + 1) steady(m)). Multiply the starting-link count,
armed-hop count and both tarifffactors.
Consequently the order-n total at x is bounded by
HC(QRprice)n, where
H = ballCost((u + 1)(mB + 1))DL au
L,d exp(Asupport(u + 1) steady(m)),
Rprice = 16aL,d exp(Asupport steady(m) + 2ε).
If QRprice ≤1/2, the full sales bound is 2HC. To justify the countable ledger sum, bound any finite
subset by its finitely many order fibers and then by this convergent geometric series; nonnegativity
gives the full bound. This proves the asserted sales inequality and its summability, retaining every
address even when different itineraries revisit the same link. In the lift, the realized tuple carries the
entire ordered itinerary, receipt, factors, color trace and scalar stamp. Its literal readout restores
the source address. Frame cancellation applies along the ordered product; it does not authorize
commuting factors or merging repeated occurrences.

the plate’s B/2 stencil, the inverse-column window and the discrepancy’s enlarged window stencil.
Interpolation s ∈[0, 1] preserves the bounds and positive floors at every interpolation value. Thus
the preceding trace-integral estimate gives, on armed addresses,

c
(Q + 1) payE scraps(B)n+1 = centreA etaAn,
centreA = R4
c(Q + 1) payE scraps(B),
etaA = Rc scraps(B).
For the source arm the n + 1 factors each cost Q distPay(B), and later interpolation multipliers
have absolute value at most one. Their range is also 3B, and
| ArmSn,e,p | ≤Rn+2
c
(Q distPay(B))n+1 = centreS etaSn,
centreS = R2
cQ distPay(B),
etaS = RcQ distPay(B).
Both arms vanish on unarmed addresses. These are scalar prices before exponential expansion;
internal color indices are summed inside the actual arm and the integration interval has length one.
For an armed-path envelope Y (x)κ(x)n, halo i ≥4 and u extra steps, the itinerary census gives
a sales bound 2 expoHead(L, i, B, 3B, u, Asupport)Y whenever
16 abundance(L, 3B)eAsupport steady(i)+2εκ ≤1
2.
The abundance and fixed-step prefactor have rate zero.
A negative-rate κ therefore satisfies
this condition eventually; a rate-b envelope Y gives a rate-b sales bound, uniformly in geome-
try.
The itinerary address count and halo-cover estimate supply the quantities expoHead and
steady used here.
Apply this with u = 3 and (Y, κ) = (centreA, etaA), and with u = 1 and
(Y, κ) = (centreS, etaS). All four quantities have every prescribed negative rate, so both budgets
have any prescribed rate b. The blank geometry receives its own determinant-arm bound. One
scalar remains attached to each actual arm; colors are not separately relabeled.
For the Gaussian chain retain separately ∥μe∥≤Ct, |(A drift + b)i| ≤E(x) and shell access.
On 0 < β ≤2 betaF(x) put
burst(x) =

2 betaF(x),
gStep(β)−1 =

β ≤burst(x).
Burst has rate 1/2. The common cutoff-field envelope
U(x) = burst(x) fiery(x) muRate(C, H)
has rate zero, is nonnegative and independent of β and the Gaussian variable. Together with the
mean bound it supplies the pointwise chain hypotheses. If E has rate k −1/2, then the linear
residual definition gives |bhβ,i| ≤burst(x)|E(x)| =: b(x). Thus b has rate k, and the first correction
envelope J(x) = dim(Color)U(x)b(x) has rate k. The caption is the parent of the fine bond. Its
town lies in radius (m + 1)B, giving sales price
ballCost((m + 1)B)L4|Axis|J(x)eAsupport ballCost(m+1),
also of rate k, since its geometric caption and covering factors have rate zero at fixed parameters.
Higher quadratic-chain envelopes are the source’s capQ evaluated at U. Their center is proportional
to 1
2U2 flagP4 Q2 payE scraps(B), and their ratio is flagP Q payE scraps(B). The ratio has every
prescribed negative rate, and so does the center because U has rate zero. Their pointwise bounds
retain one scalar per actual arm, rather than splitting a trace into independently labeled colors.
The itinerary estimate yields the rate-k chain sales bound for arbitrary prescribed k, retaining

series-index support charge and halo m ≥4, together with coupling and residual factors. More
generally a finite caption family of density n, radius-dB supports and constant envelope C0 costs
at most
ballCost(dB)nC0eAsupport ballCost(d).
Indeed at most ballCost(dB)n supports contain a fixed site, and each has B-covering number at
most ballCost(d). This is the fixed-envelope count for the first correction and local Short letters.
In the source lift all envelopes, captions, receipts and rate hypotheses remain components of the
realized record.
Literal recovery therefore preserves each pointwise inequality and its eventual
threshold; the geometric-series argument uses precisely the retained address census.
12.46
True walk supports, bundle budgets and connected tiling
The source’s native support native(w) is the finite set of all visited sites, including start and
endpoint. Induction on steps puts each visit within length(w) of the start. A walk of length at
most M fits in one radius-M tile. Otherwise split offM steps; the two supports meet at the split
endpoint. Induction and the meeting-support covering inequality give, for M > 0,
M coverNumberM(native(w)) ≤M + length(w).
Length counts every repetition and winding even if the visited set is smaller. A curvature slot’s
support is exactly the native support of its transport walk concatenated with its four-step plaquette:
concatenate visit lists and wrap cover coordinates. Its slot length is that concatenated length. A
d-slot bundle rooted at x is the union of slot supports with x inserted. These supports all meet at
x, so
M coverNumberM(bundle) ≤(1 + d)M + totalLength .
Every bundle site lies within totalLength of x, since each slot length is at most their nonnegative
sum.
For Y ⊂halolB(parent(bundle)), the parent-distance estimate bounds its extent from parent(x)
by (lB + 1)(1 + totalLength). Coarse footprint conversion at M = B gives
baseFee = preCost(l) + conversion(L, l)(1 + d),
legFee = conversion(L, l)/B,
originFee = lB + 1,
coverNumberB(Y ) ≤baseFee + legFee totalLength .
Apply the anchored-to-hit principle with degree equal to true totalLength, extent originFee and
these covering coefficients. At a fixed fine root the input is exactly the original slot-family length
budget. The root delta and that budget form a product budget; only the parent population L4
supplies the root count, with no additional volume factor. This recovers the source’s bundle_hit
bound and its explicitly paid e−εm tail for totalLength at least m. Atom footprints are precisely
their slot-leg bundles; an ordered path pair is the two-slot bundle with the sum of both actual
lengths.
For recovery of this support construction, retain the ordered visit list as part of the source path
data, alongside its finite native set. Realization wraps each visit in the original period, and readout
leaves that site address unchanged. Taking the image of the list, concatenating two lists, and then
forming their finite union therefore commute with readout. Consequently the realized bundle has
exactly the original native support, root and total length; repeated visits may collapse in the set
while remaining in the length and label budget. The identity-frame section recovers each visit and

coefficient, so the covering and anchored-to-hit estimates use the same support currency and parent
census.
The covering currency uses periodic maximum-coordinate separation. Its radius-M centers must
be connected at range 2M + 1, so the currency includes connections between disconnected support
pieces; it is not an unrestricted ball-counting number. A unit-speed line from x to y has duration
separation(x, y): truncate each centered-lift displacement coordinate to [−j, j] at time j, wrap and
add x. Each coordinate changes by at most one and reaches its endpoint by the maximum absolute
displacement.
For a finite center set D connected at range b, adjoin unvisited centers successively. A first exit
along a connecting path supplies an edge from the visited set. Insert the line along this edge and its
reverse at the visited endpoint in the current traversal. This adds at most 2b steps while retaining
every earlier visit. Induction gives a unit-speed traversal visiting D of length at most 2b|D|; the
empty case uses the zero-length trivial traversal. This is the ring-path estimate used for extent and
collapse.
A radius-kB halo has a cover whose centers are the image of [−k, k]4 ∩Z4, scaled by B and
translated to the halo center. Division of each centered coordinate by B leaves a remainder of
absolute value at most B, proving coverage. Grid steps connect the centers; periodic identification
only decreases their number. Thus (2k+1)4 centers suffice. If a center set D gives a radius-mB cover
of X, enlarge the balls to radius (m + 1)B. Original connecting steps obey 2mB + 1 ≤2(m + 1)B,
so these enlarged halos meet along the connections. Tiling each halo and joining at these meetings
yields
coverNumberB(X) ≤|D|[2(m + 1) + 1]4.
The same unit-speed line shows that halos of centers connected at range 2M + 1 are unit-range
connected: the line lies in the two M halos, apart from the possible middle adjacent step. These
arguments require no injectivity of periodic halos. In the lift, the walk record retains its ordered
visit list and cover coordinates as well as its finite support. Readout therefore recovers both the true
length and the connected covering currency, and the displayed induction and counting arguments
commute with literal recovery even when wrapping identifies visits.
12.47
Coarse collapse and anchored-to-hit conversion
For block side L, a fine site is within L/2 of its embedded parent. Centered lifts show that embedded
coarse separation is at least L times coarse separation. The triangle inequality yields
L separation(parent(x), parent(y)) ≤separation(x, y) + L.
For a unit-step path R0, . . . , RN, sample parents every LB steps, B > 0, retaining the final partial
segment and allowing repeated samples. The resulting set D is connected at range 2B, every path
parent is within 2B of a sample, and LB|D| ≤N +LB. Realize a scale-M cover of X by a connected
center set A of cardinality coverNumberM(X). The preceding traversal has length N ≤|A|(4M +2).
Any two support sites are therefore separated by at most |A|(4M + 2) + 2M, by joining them to
centers and traversing between centers.
Sample this traversal at scale LB. If M ≤2B, a support point’s parent is within 3B of its
center’s parent, hence within 5B of D. The sB halo of parent(X) is thus covered by the (s + 5)B
halo of D, retaining connectedness. Tiling costs at most |D| ballCost(s+6). For B ≥1, the sample
count and M ≤2B give
L coverNumberB(halosB(parent(X))) ≤[L + 10 coverNumberM(X)] ballCost(s + 6).

The empty case is immediate. Otherwise at least one center pays the fixed endpoint term. Division
by L recovers the preCost and conversion constants in the coarse hit budget. All block factors thus
arise from parent separation, connected traversal and halo tiling.
Here is the full anchored-to-hit principle used in those budgets. Suppose nonnegative bi satisfy,
at every fine anchor y,
X
oi=y
bieAdi ≤γ,
the parent fibers have size at most P, and
x ∈Xi =⇒separation(x, parent(oi)) ≤W(1 + di),
coverNumberB(Xi) ≤v + v′di,
0 ≤gi ≤Cbi(1 + di)k.
Assume a ≥0, ε > 0 and av′+2ε ≤A. At degree di = j, the new weighted coefficient is bounded by
bieAjC(1+j)keav−2εj. Relevant anchors lie above the coarse radius-W(1+j) ball about x, so there
are at most P ballCost(W)(1 + j)4 of them. Grouping a finite label set by anchor and applying the
old budget bounds the degree-j total by
eavγCP ballCost(W)(1 + j)4+ke−2εj.
The exponential series gives (1 + j)4+k ≤ε−(4+k)(4 + k)!eεeεj. Summation over j ≥m yields the
tail factor e−εm with payment
eavγCP ballCost(W)ε−(4+k)(4 + k)!eε
1 −e−ε
.
Every finite subset obeys this bound, proving nonnegative countable summability as well.
For block parents, decomposition into parent and residue gives P = L4. For old support Y with
M ≤2B, put preCost(l) = ballCost(l + 6). Collapse gives
coverNumberB(halolB(parent(Y ))) ≤preCost(l) + 10 preCost(l)
L
coverNumberM(Y ).
The extent bound from any chosen anchor is (l + 20)B(1 + coverNumberM(Y )); these supply
v, v′, W. The connected traversal and coarse-collapse arguments above prove these covering and
extent bounds; the displayed summation then supplies the hit budget. Inspection adds at most
four fine-site steps and hence five parent steps, so increasing l by five includes its enlarged support.
The quantifier order is retained: for A > 2ε, choose
L > 10 preCost(l)a
A −2ε
before choosing x. Then a 10 preCost(l)/L+2ε ≤A. For paths the coefficient is 10 preCost(l)/(LB);
with L fixed it tends to zero as B →∞, so any σ > 2ε suffices eventually. The same delay ensures
radiusB(betaF) ≤2 radiusB(x). Fixed powers of these radii and the monitor are subpower in betaF,
while e−c till(x) and e−c monitorz, c, z > 0, beat every inverse power. These justify strict-exponent
absorption without changing L after the delay. The lifted record retains parent fibers, connected
covers, anchors, degrees and the order of parameter choices; literal readout preserves each finite-
subset bound and its monotone passage to the countable budget.

Spanning-tree proof of the extent estimate.
The centre-traversal construction used in the
extent estimate is proved as follows. Realize the scale-M cover of a support X by a centre set A
with |A| = covM(X) whose union of M-balls is connected by unit steps. Join two centres when
their distance is at most 2M + 1. This centre graph is connected, since a lattice path through
the union passes from one ball to another only through overlapping or adjacent balls. A finite
connected graph has a spanning tree (add an edge from the reached vertices to a new vertex until
all are reached). Traverse the tree out and back: each of its |A| −1 edges is replaced by a lattice
path of length at most 2M + 1 and is used twice, giving a unit-step path through every centre of
length
N ≤2(|A| −1)(2M + 1) ≤|A|(4M + 2).
The empty cover has the constant path of length zero. Joining two sites of X to covering centres
by paths of length at most M gives
diam(X) ≤|A|(4M + 2) + 2M,
on the periodic lattice as well as on the integer cover. The estimate is a statement about the support
column of the realized tuple, which the readout does not alter; the spanning tree is a witness that
may be chosen freely (its choice is a presentation ambiguity with no effect on the bound), and no
frame data enters.
12.48
Support tariffs and path-tail conversion
For nonnegative envelopes wi, supports Xi and integer extra charges ei, the sales condition includes
summability and, at every coarse site,
X
i:x∈Xi
wie2εeiea coverNumberB(Xi) ≤γ.
Disjoint alphabets add their budgets.
An additional finite orientation index costs the sum of
orientation budgets. Rotation or translation preserves the bound because its site map is bijective
and does not increase covering number. For nonempty Xi and a, ε ≥0, evaluation at one of its
sites gives wi ≤γ.
Reserve an old anchored support tariffbefore conversion by setting vi = wie2ε coverNumberM(Yi).
Exactly,
vie(δ−2ε) coverNumberM(Yi) = wieδ coverNumberM(Yi).
Thus the original budget is unchanged with the reduced exponent. If Xi lies in the l-halo enlarge-
ment of the parent image of Yi, M ≤2B, and the geometric reserve inequality holds, apply coarse
conversion to vi. This pays the new 2ε tarifffor zi ≤Cwi(1 + coverNumberM(Yi))k. The payment
is the preceding explicit anchored-to-hit payment with child factor L4, extentCost(l, B), degree
k, old budget γ, new support exponent a and geometric preCost(l).
These retain the source’s
(NF9)–(NF10) dependencies.
For rooted bundles start instead from the true-length budget P
i wieδli ≤γ and set vi = wie2εli.
The width left for conversion is δ −2ε. The bundle estimate supplies sales for zroot,i ≤Cwi(1+li)k
on the allowed enlarged footprint. The root ranges over every fine site, accounted for by originFee
and L4. An inspected order-r atom footprint lies in the (l + 5)-halo of its actual path bundle;
applying this transfer to its magnitude and exponential length budget gives the atom payment,
retaining its degree-k polynomial mark. For paired tails, the parent-distance inequality puts the
l enlargement of pairFoot in the (l + 2) enlargement of the two-path bundle. This yields the tail
payment with r = 2.

The omitted-pair small factor is computed before conversion. For actual slot lengths x, y, a
nonzero omitted pair has xd > R or yd > R, hence (x + y)d ≥R. The pair-price bound and half
the length reserve give
pairPrice e(σ/2)(x+y) ≤2e−σR/(2d)|ux|eσx|uy|eσy.
The product of the original budgets, each at most Cpaths, bounds the half-width sum by
2e−σR/(2d)C2
paths. At R = till(x) this has every prescribed negative rate. Under 8ε < σ, the remain-
ing width σ/2 −2ε is positive and supplies the geometric reserve and polynomial mark. Footprint
payments multiply scalar envelopes and old budgets by fixed constants and a four-dimensional
extent factor. If these have rates u, v and extent rate zero, the payment has rate u + v; any strictly
larger exponent absorbs the fixed and subpower factors.
This recovers the inherited six-family
atom and tail rate deductions with the stated geometric conversion dependency. The lifted record
retains extra charges, true lengths, masks, orientations and width reserves.
Readout recovers
each tariffidentity and omitted-pair condition, so support conversion does not discard winding,
multiplicity or polynomial marks.
The preservation of these sales conditions can be expressed without interchanging an uncon-
trolled series. For a fixed site x and finite label set F, define the nonnegative tariffreader
Tx,F (w, X, e) =
X
i∈F
x∈Xi
wi exp(2εei + a coverNumberB(Xi)) .
Its lifted version is this reader composed with π, including the recorded site and label addresses.
Since readout recovers each support, charge and envelope, every finite sum is identical to its phys-
ical reader, and composition with the section recovers Tx,F . Taking the supremum over finite F
therefore preserves the full nonnegative sum, its bound and its summability. The reweighting iden-
tity above is an equality term by term before this supremum. Disjoint family tags preserve addition
of budgets even when two letters have equal numerical coefficients or equal footprints. Thus neither
a coincidence of values nor periodic identification merges separately charged labels.

Inherited envelopes and primitive dictionary
Fix halo l and ε > 0 with 4ε below the incoming support exponent and 8ε below both path
widths. Choose one sufficiently large L for regular and forced support conversion, retaining the
prescribed support price and extra tariff. Use the original envelopes before constructing any new
marking reserve. A regular occurrence is bounded by its supplied bi on its healthy support and is
zero otherwise; its anchor is unchanged. A forced coefficient uses di without a health restriction.
Choose a support inventory point as its anchor: the incoming hit bound implies an anchored bound
there. The geometric factors have rate zero for fixed L. The regular rate −11/10 allows any eventual
price betaFu with u > −11/10; a forced incoming rate v −1 allows betaFv for any fixed v.
An order-k atom multiplied by |η| ≤D(x) has healthy envelope
zsite,j = D(x) fiery(x)k magnitude(atomj).
If D and the total atom budget have rates u, v, its preconversion rate is u −k/2 + v. When this
is below a target r, choose an intermediate exponent, convert inspected supports and sum finite
signed orientations; the strict margin absorbs that count. Retain true path length as extra charge.
Omitted pairs pay every prescribed power after any fixed-rate scalar multiplier, using 8ε < width
and the actual cutofftill(x). Sum plaquette types and orientations first at exponent r −1, then

absorb their fixed number into exponent r. The detailed atom and tail support-conversion estimates
are still the inputs to these two deductions.
The inherited logarithm has six disjoint families: regular occurrences, cubic atoms, quartic
atoms, loop atoms, fine tails and coarse tails. Its phase is θ = −orientation β, with |θ| ≤2 betaF; the
coarse tail uses −θ. Cubic and quartic multipliers have rate one and hence rates −1/2 and −1 after
the field factors. The loop multiplier has rate zero and its own incoming budget; both tails allow
arbitrary negative powers. For r > −1/2, choose −1/2 < s < r. All six prices are eventually at most
betaFs, weakening the regular bound to s. Their union costs at most 6 betaFs ≤betaFr eventually.
Forced letters keep their independent arbitrary-exponent price. This proves the inherited dictionary
bound with the actual fine and coarse beta factors already included. Every footprint is nonempty:
regular and forced supports retain their anchor or inventory, and atoms and tails retain their
root. These facts support the individual-letter smallness argument used in the optional dictionary
assembly.
Before taking connected components the non-warning primitive dictionary has three disjoint
kinds: inherited logarithms, local Short corrections and Gaussian chain letters.
The last kind
has five families:
the negative actual log-determinant series, the positive blank-reference log-
determinant series, the mean-source series, the first linear mean correction, and the remaining
quadratic chain correction. Their exponent coefficients are, in order,
−1

chain.
An inherited logarithm is its actual old exponent on the lifted fine field, multiplied by enforcement
of its own full footprint at 2a; inherited forced activities use their actual K coefficient with that
enforcement. Profiles lie in [0, 1] and preserve bounds. The disjoint sum is farLog; each optional
activity is efarLog −1. Supports are fixed before evaluation: enlarged old supports, Short sleeves,
chain receipts and first-correction towns. Extra charges are respectively the old charges, zero for
Short and first corrections, and series indices for other chains. Nonempty supports remain assigned
even to zero coefficients. This keeps the support price independent of a field-dependent selection.
Let the chain families have common sales bound N(x) of rate −1/2. Apply the estimate indepen-
dently to blank geometry for its positive reference determinant. Short has envelope Z(x) and sales
bound X(x) of rate −1/2. Its caption density is at most |Signed| spots(L) + 2 itineraryDensity(L).
A halo-l sleeve lies within radius (l + 1)B of its caption, so its price is
ballCost((l + 1)B) captionDensity Z(x)ev ballCost(l+1).
The census has rate zero. Unite inherited, Short and chain log envelopes as b0, adding sales prices.
Choose −1/2 < s < b < 0 and put
T(x) = betaF(x)s + X(x) + N(x).
It has rate s; uniformly before choosing geometry or fields, eventually T ≤1 and 2T ≤betaFb.
Nonempty supports imply b0(i) ≤T. Since |t| ≤b0(i) ≤1, |et −1| ≤2b0(i). Thus yi = 2b0(i)
bounds both the raw logarithm and Mayer activity, with total sales price at most betaFb. Forced
envelopes keep their separately prescribed betaFu price. Dummy geometry reads common numerical
envelopes only; the bound applies to every admitted geometry, forest and field. This completes
the dictionary assembly conditional on its inherited, Short and chain estimates given above. In
the source lift, family tags, signs, masks, fixed supports and original envelopes remain in the
realized tuple. The inherited log and forced activities have their own preassigned envelopes from
the incoming representation. Recovery is componentwise, preserving the disjoint sum, exponential
activity and every threshold’s quantifier order.

Local driving and the Gaussian floor
Fix one real accepted sector and its forest; restrict u to active bonds as uhot. Define
Io(u)2 =
X
dist(o,addr(e))≤3B
∥uhot(e)∥2,
Ro(u)2 =
X
dist(o,root(p))≤Rmac+2
∥motion(u)p∥2.
Each summand norm is at most its corresponding square root, because all summands are nonneg-
ative. Suppose a gauge z makes background links in the 2B box of o have chord at most h ≥0.
The accepted stencil estimate bounds the difference between flat and background-oriented rows on
Adz uhot by 2CcG(B + 1)hIo(u) for rods rooted within Rmac + 2. The active-bond buffer places
the whole selected rod stencil in the clean region. Adjoint action preserves color norm, and gauge
covariance identifies the oriented row with its measured motion component. Thus the flat row is
bounded by
Eo(u) = Ro(u) + 2CcG(B + 1)hIo(u).
(NF1)
For the logarithmic color variation w of Adz uhot, the collected variation vanishes on every forest
trunk. The forest link estimate gives, with o = addr(e),
∥uhot(e)∥≤K
X
x∈box(Rmac)
X
α∈PlaqAxes
∥curl w(x, α)∥+ ∥bill w(o, eaxis)∥.
The low face row is √qdir curl w and the pin row is −
√
k bill w, with qdir, k > 0. Their norms are
bounded by Eo(u), and parent distance puts every face root within Rmac + 2. Consequently
∥uhot(e)∥≤UEo(u),
U = K| box(Rmac)|| PlaqAxes |q−1/2
dir
+ k−1/2.
(NF2)
This uses no global pure-gauge representation. Clean-background flattening supplies h ≤Y s(x)
on actual clean boxes, with s of rate −1/2. The chord chart writes each transformed link as an
exponential of norm at most s(x) and uses its uniform chord bound; its radius is fixed first. Set
M(x) = 2UCcG(B(x) + 1)Y s(x). Including the zero inactive case gives
∥uhot(e)∥≤URaddr(e)(u) + M(x)Iaddr(e)(u).
The neighborhood census is swept(L, d) = ballCost(d)L4| Axis |. Square with (a + b)2 ≤2a2 + 2b2
and sum. When 2M(x)2 swept(L, 3B(x)) ≤1/2, absorption yields
X
e
∥uhot(e)∥2 ≤4U2 swept(L, Rmac + 2)
X
p
∥motion(u)p∥2.
(NF3)
The census has rate zero and M rate −1/2, giving this common tail. Constants are chosen after
L, before sector and variation. The real plate is the motion Gram matrix plus identity on inactive
coordinates, with exact normalization
⟨v, formT form v⟩= scale2 X
p
∥motion(u)p∥2.
Splitting active and inactive Euclidean squares, a common positive constant a in (NF3) gives
⟨v, plate v⟩≥min(scale2 /a, 1)∥v∥2.

The floor is therefore derived from the accepted branch’s local forest inequality and flattening. The
lift retains the branch, active mask, gauge, rod stencils, motion rows and metric normalization.
Readout recovers their exact restrictions; adjoint isometry and literal recovery transport each local
bound and the finite census sum. The resulting lower bound applies to the pulled-back form on
the section metric, consistently with the operator-versus-form distinction below.
More explicitly, write H for the fixed active-coordinate projection of this accepted sector and
Q = plate. For the tangent readout p and section j with pj = I, use jHp for the lifted active-
coordinate operation. Then
p(jHp) = Hp,
(jHp)j = jH.
Thus applying the active mask before or after physical readout gives the same uhot; this statement
uses the recorded sector mask. Put c = min(scale2 /a, 1). The recovered floor is exactly
(p∗Qp)(ζ, ζ) = Q(pζ, pζ) ≥c∥pζ∥2,
(p∗Qp)(jv, jv) = Q(v, v) ≥c∥v∥2.
Here p∗denotes pullback of the quadratic form and the norm on the section is the transported
physical norm. The estimate consequently retains the source’s Gaussian constant on recovered
physical directions; the pullback vanishes on ker p. The forest-coordinate gap derived next has its
own specified inclusion and is recovered on that inclusion.
12.51
Forest differentiation and vertical Hessian gap
For a logarithmic direction w vanishing on forest trunks, put Ut = represent(tw). This stays on
the same forest slice for every real t, and U0 = 1. Predictor frame weights are usable near zero:
their minimum condition holds in an identity neighborhood and there are only finitely many coarse
roots. The nonlinear shell inequality with identity comparison gives
chord(Ut(e)) ≤K porto(Ut) + chord(prediction(Ut)(o, eaxis)).
Bound each port by the full macro-box plaquette-chord sum. Periodic plaquette repetitions only
enlarge this nonnegative sum. For an identity-based group curve Vt whose matrix derivative is
colorMat(v), the chord normalization gives
|t|−1 chord(Vt) −→∥v∥.
Indeed take the norm of the matrix derivative quotient and divide by the fixed color scale. Edge,
plaquette and actual predictor derivatives are the collected edge variation, linear curl and predictor
bill. Divide the shell bound by |t| and pass to zero through nonzero real t, including its finite port
sums. This proves the forest inequality used in (NF2), with the pin term equal to the derivative of
the chosen nonlinear predictor.
For X = box(Rmac), squaring that inequality and applying finite Cauchy–Schwarz gives
X
e
∥w(e)∥2 ≤β
X
b
∥curl w(b)∥2 + γ
X
b
∥bill w(b)∥2,
where
β = 2K2L4| Axis | |X|2| PlaqAxes |,
γ = 2L4.
For a fixed offset, the map from coarse root and plaquette type to fine plaquette is injective.
Summation over roots therefore costs |X|, even when distinct offsets give the same periodic site.
Parent fibers have exactly L4 sites; these account for all factors without a period-dependent norm

(NF4)
Restriction of the Hessian is composition of the joint analytic action with its linear vertical inclusion,
so the second derivative is the joint second derivative on two included vertical vectors. These forest
verticals remain distinct from the frame-fiber verticals of the source lift. The lifted realization
retains the curve, predictor branch, trunk mask, linear inclusion and finite offset census. Readout
recovers the curve before differentiation; its finite-dimensional linear differential therefore recovers
curl, bill and the restricted Hessian, including the normalization and lower bound above.
12.52
Local stencil transport and constructed logarithmic backgrounds
The local stencil comparison in (NF1) has a separate elementary transport proof. A carrier from
x to y has length at most 4 dist(x, y). On the declared surrounding radius-d box, with link chords
at most h and the carrier path contained there, the source’s product-chord estimate gives carrier
chord at most dh. Replace exterior links by identity: locality preserves the carrier, so only local
hypotheses enter. The adjoint inequality
∥Adg b −b∥≤2cG chord(g)∥b∥
bounds straightening of a local variation of size M by 2cGdhM. A stencil of norm at most C
transfers this to 2CcGdhM. Explicitly, cut the variation difference to its lookup neighborhood; its
sup norm obeys this local bound and the stencil reads the same difference. A signed coordinate
change adds at most 2cGhM for a reversed link and zero for a forward link. Its transformed lookup
lies in the original box enlarged by one. Hence
∥orientedRow(V, u) −orientedRow(1, u)∥≤2CcG(d + 1)hM.
The box and variation bounds preceding (NF1) give that estimate; adjoint action and signed
displacement preserve each individual variation norm.
An impulse remains a single impulse after displacement and carrier conjugation, with unchanged
color norm. Untransported impulse decay gives
ew dist(e,s focus(p))∥orientedRows,p(V, 1eb)∥≤2Cew(predReach +7)∥b∥.
Here w > 0 is the common stencil width; the extra one pays a possible signed-link endpoint shift.
Thus the local comparison does not introduce a volume factor into the matrix estimate. The same
transport calculation preserves the entrywise decay needed for the matrix upper price.
For a clean radius-(d+1) box, d ≤32B(x), axial flattening constructs z with transformed chord
on the radius-d box at most
u(x) = 16(2(32B(x) + 1) + 1)5| PlaqAxes | 2 fiery(x).
The temperature comparison bounds the clean plaquette threshold by 2 fiery(x). Once u enters a
fixed logarithm chart, a whole array b agrees with these links on the box and satisfies ∥b∥≤Clogu(x).
Radius factors have rate zero and fiery rate −1/2, so H = Clogu has rate −1/2 and enters the chart
eventually. This constructs the small-background function used in (NF3).

For completeness the analytic product chart B(a, b) = log(exp a exp b) satisfies B(0, 0) = 0 and
DB(0, 0)(a, b) = a + b by matrix multiplication and the local inverse relation. A bounded second
derivative on a small closed ball yields
∥B(a, b) −(a + b)∥≤C∥(a, b)∥2,
∥B(a, b)∥≤C∥(a, b)∥.
The exponential recovers the product there. Coordinatewise application gives uniform finite-lattice
sup-norm constants and a genuine left chart with this quadratic error. The fixed chart has
log 1 = 0,
exp(log U) = U,
∥log U∥≤C chord(U).
The last bound follows from chart Lipschitz continuity and ∥mat(U) −1∥= cG chord(U). Choose
the radius within both the Lipschitz and right-inverse neighborhoods. Set be = log Ue on requested
edges and be = 0 elsewhere. Then ∥b∥∞≤Ch and its exponential agrees on the requested set; no
global logarithm or continuous cutoffis needed. Finally, for unitary U,
UXU∗−X = (U −1)XU∗+ X(U∗−1).
Frobenius unitary invariance and submultiplicativity bound this by 2∥U −1∥∥X∥; division by
the color scale proves the physical adjoint bound.
Induction using product triangle inequality
and inversion invariance proves the path-chord bound, including repeated edges.
The realized
record retains local lookup sets, carrier words, signed endpoint shifts and chart domains. Recovery
therefore preserves each local comparison and impulse bound without extending local hypotheses
to the whole lattice.
The local logarithm construction has an explicit recovery domain. For its recorded edge set D
and fixed chart radius ρ, let
UD = {U : chord(Ue) < ρ (e ∈D)},
(LDU)e =
(
log Ue,
e ∈D,
0,
e /∈D.
Choose ρ within both chart neighborhoods just specified. Its source domain is π−1(UD) and its
source reader is LDπ. For the coordinate restriction RD and coordinatewise exponential E,
RDELDπ = RDπ,
LDπσ = LD.
These identities prove exact patch recovery and section recovery. The bound
∥LDπ(z)∥∞≤C max
e∈D chord(π(z)e)
preserves the same constant. The construction is applied to the gauged physical links appearing in
the local comparison. Their gauge and the set D remain recorded data. Consequently the recovered
logarithm has precisely the stated local chart domain and the zero extension used by the source
construction.

with a lattice-independent constant. Indeed the analytic four-coordinate map
(a0, a1, a2, a3) 7−→curvature(exp a0 exp a1 exp(−a2) exp(−a3))
vanishes at zero and has derivative a0 + a1 −a2 −a3. Bounded-second- derivative Taylor expan-
sion gives the quadratic remainder and a uniform linear-part bound. Substitute the actual face
coordinates, each bounded by ∥b∥∞, including when periodicity identifies coordinates.
The regular-log and forced-letter assembly uses one envelope independent of sector, forest and
Gaussian variable. Fix ε below one quarter of the support exponent and one eighth of each stencil
width, footprint weight v ≥0 and retained order l ≥4.
Choose the block side for inherited
footprints, then fix the positive Gaussian floor, matrix upper prices, chart constants and remaining
real-sector parameters. Assume covariance-window error of rate −1. For −1/2 < b < 0 and any
forced exponent u, common nonnegative weights satisfy
| bagi(U)| ≤wi,
| farLogp(z)| ≤yp,
|efarLogp(z) −1| ≤yp.

Their weighted footprint sums have budgets βu
F and βb
F , respectively. Specified footprint expo-
nentials, overlap prices, radius charges and retained derivatives are paid before reducing to these
powers.
To prove the bookkeeping, combine inherited physical, finite local and covariance-window letters
into b(0)
p . Its budget is T(x) = βF (x)s + X(x) + N(x), with −1/2 < s < b and X, N of rate −1/2.
Thus T has rate s and eventually T ≤1, 2T ≤βb
F . Evaluate uniform estimates on an empty-seed
dummy sector at the same radius and cutoffand retain their background-independent weights. Its
hypotheses hold and the estimates quantify over all real backgrounds; the weights are chosen before

inequality |eq −1| ≤2a for |q| ≤a ≤1 permits yp = 2b(0)
p ; the arranged factor-two reserve pays
its budget: multiplying the sales budget by two costs at most βb
F .
Forced letters retain their
independent price. Real localization factors in [0, 1] can only decrease these bounds, proving (NF5)
uniformly for logarithms and Mayer factors.
The actual finite local types are row-energy remainders indexed by signed orientation and row,
diagonal logarithmic corrections indexed by fine bond, and Haar-chart corrections indexed by active
fine bond. Alongside inherited logarithms, the five chain types are real-plate principal log chains
with coefficient −1/2, blank-plate chains with +1/2, covariance correction chains with +1/2, affine
first corrections and residual quadratic chains. Chain length is the extra charge; the affine bond
term has charge zero.
Supports are full receipts enlarged by lB, including every lookup.
The
lifted record retains all these tags, supports and parameter choices; readout recovers the uniform
weights before field evaluation. The local four-coordinate Taylor map is recovered before restricting
periodic coordinates, so its bound and (NF5) transport without treating coincident coordinates as
independent physical variables.

The Haar term is the localized chart logarithm on active bonds outside the 304B seed dome, zero
elsewhere. These are exponent signs; the activity is eShort −1. On an intact real sector, light
equals the actual debit. Outside the dome the local slice is interior and the predictor alive. Clean
plaquette bounds supply the kept-path test locally; outside, its exponential threshold is at least
two, so the universal chord bound supplies it. Thus the exact row-energy split applies with the
configuration’s existing choices.
A nonzero localization factor supplies the grafted-input variation bound, yielding |go lighto | ≤
J(x) of rate −3/2. Protected means bound each of at most two parent path values by A(x) of rate
−1. The extracted term consists of at most two nonnegative half-squares, hence is at most A(x)2.
Therefore
W(x) = 2βF (x)(J(x) + A(x)2)
bounds the row contribution and has rate −1/2. Local flattening and principal-inverse comparison
for real and blank plates with the same windows give a diagonal bound Ediag of rate −1/2. The
Haar bound is CHaar fiery(x) of rate −1/2. Their nonnegative sum gives a common short-letter
bound Eshort. The caption census and radius-(l + 1)B support containment give sales budget
ballCost((l + 1)B)(| Signed | spots(L) + 2 density(L))Eshort(x)ev ballCost(l+1).
It retains rate −1/2 and is independent of total volume.
Before union, inherited regular activities use healthy-sector sup envelopes and vanish offthe
healthy set. A forced activity is anchored at a point of its nonempty inventory. Incoming support
budgets then imply anchored budgets.
Inspected-footprint conversion pays overlap and charge
weights once 4ε is below the incoming exponent and L exceeds the fixed threshold. This yields
regular price βq
F for q > −11/10 and forced price βu
F for every prescribed u. A degree-k translated
atom with coefficient rate a and aggregate magnitude rate b has envelope equal to coefficient
bound times fieryk times fixed magnitude; its sales exponent can be any value strictly greater than
a−k/2+b. Finite signed orientations cost a fixed factor. Cubic and quartic coefficient rate one, and
loop quadratic coefficient rate zero, place all three below every exponent greater than −1/2, leaving
room for conversion and polynomial charges. True tails, including lower-scale tails, have arbitrary
power saving at positive retained cutofforder, with finite orientation and plaquette sums. Choose
an intermediate s < b for the six inherited families; the factor six is absorbed by βb
F /βs
F →∞.
This supplies the inherited part of (NF5). In the lift, seed domes, masks, chart domains, window
geometries, exact exponent signs and inherited family tags are retained. Literal readout recovers
the actual debit identity and each nonnegative census term before taking the uniform sales bound.
The inherited letters satisfy their own support estimates before they are joined to these local types.
12.55
Ordered-chain census and exact chart localization
A route consists of a starting fine bond and an ordered list of successors.
Allowed hops have
endpoints within coarse distance d, so centers are within d + 2.
The successor count is Pd =
ballCost(d + 2) density(L), where density(L) = L4| Axis |. Induction gives P n
d routes of n hops,
retaining repetitions. Attach the mB halo of both endpoints at every node. If d+2 ≤mB, successive
halos meet and their union has B-cover number at most (n + 1) steady(m), with steady(m) =
ballCost(m+1). Each receipt point lies within (n+1)(mB +1) of the start. For a letter with n+u
hops, charge n and magnitude Cqn on allowed routes, the number of starting bonds for a receipt
containing a fixed x is at most ballCost((n+u+1)(mB+1)) density(L). Using n+u+1 ≤(u+1)2n
gives the four-dimensional factor 16n. Including e2εn and the footprint price, the order-n sum is at

most HC(qR)n, where
H = ballCost((u + 1)(mB + 1)) density(L)P u
d ev(u+1) steady(m),
R = 16Pdev steady(m)+2ε.
For qR ≤1/2 the sales bound is 2HC, uniformly in site and period. Every endpoint and full lookup
halo is counted before shortening. Finite route sums followed by the nonnegative order sum justify
the bound, as does bounding every finite subset. This independently recovers the ordered-chain
support estimate used in the matrix assembly.
Record the exact localization identities
γa(u, e) = χinner(at, ∥ue∥),
Γa(u, Y ) =
Y
e∈Y
γa(u, e).
Both are in [0, 1]. For at > 0, ∥ue∥≤at implies γa = 1; γa ̸= 0 implies ∥ue∥≤2at and hence γ2a = 1.
Thus nonzero Γa bounds every selected variation and gives Γ2a = 1 on the same set. For Haar
density J, the localized logarithm is γ2a log J. If γa ̸= 0 and 2at lies in the chart, exponentiating
this logarithm gives J exactly. For its all-argument bound, if γ2a = 0 the localized logarithm is
zero; otherwise ∥ue∥≤4at. Positivity, analyticity and J(0) = 1 give | log J(ue)| ≤C∥ue∥≤4Cat
once 4at is in the fixed neighborhood. Multiplication by the cutoffpreserves the bound, proving the
uniform Haar contribution of (NF6) on one common tail. This size bound holds at all arguments,
without assuming the argument is in the chart. The lift retains ordered route coordinates, complete
receipts, selected edge sets and chart thresholds.
Literal recovery preserves these exact cutoff
implications and the density identity, as well as every term of the nonnegative census sum.
For a precise source domain, interpret the localized logarithm as the piecewise reader
la(u, e) =
(
γ2a(u, e) log J(ue),
γ2a(u, e) ̸= 0,
0,
γ2a(u, e) = 0.
On the common tail 4at is within the positive chart, so the first branch is defined wherever selected.
This defines the zero extension without requiring evaluation of the chart logarithm outside its
domain. With u = pζ, put lZ
a (ζ, e) = la(pζ, e) and define γZ
a , ΓZ
a by the same composition. Then
lZ
a (jv, e) = la(v, e),
γZ
a (ζ, e) ̸= 0 =⇒elZ
a (ζ,e) = J((pζ)e).
Finite products on the recorded edge set recover Γa componentwise. The same implication and
bound |lZ
a | ≤4Cat therefore hold on the whole realized tangent domain. These identities preserve
the actual localized density factor used in the correction exponent.

Exact warning factors and quiet-box witnesses
The five detector addresses are a fine plaquette, two distinct coarse-bond types, a coarse site and
a fine site. Their raw factors are respectively fine cutoff, predictor-noise cutoff, pin-frame mass,
site-frame mass and contracted flag charge. A fixed district contains each focus and lies within one
coarse step of it; warning support is its lB halo. A sixth type is the fine-bond logarithmic-cutoff
complement with its two-endpoint support. A detector whose district meets the 300B seed dome
is compulsory and its optional letter is zero. Otherwise the letter is exactly
Γ2a(u, plaza(haloB(district)))(rawStorm(u) −1).

Fine-bond warnings are γa(u, e) −1 on active bonds outside the 304B dome, zero otherwise. Put
Cstorm = 1 + | FrameTag | + | Points |. Raw detectors lie between zero and this constant: cutoffs
are in [0, 1], frame masses are bounded by their finite summand counts and contracted charges are
zero or one. Hence all warnings have absolute value at most Cstorm. For u = μ + β−1/2z, quietness

This ensures nGξ ≤1 and noise row response at most τt/3. The other two row-bill contributions,
nonlinear-to-linear error and protected row at μ, have rate −1 and are eventually at most τt/3
each since t has rate −1/2. Thus actual bills are at most τt. Adding the fine guide At/L2 bounds
weighted curvature by (A/L2 + τ)t; curvature-to-chord conversion and the fine quota give chord
below t/4. The predictor guide At and penalty k similarly give mismatch chord below Wt. Small-
field tag identities make both frame masses exactly one. These statements hold outside the 30B
dome on quiet radius-B boxes with the actual predictor choices.
If the 2B box about a detector focus is quiet, a compulsory letter is already zero. Otherwise
the focus is outside the 300B dome. Every point within B is outside the 30B dome and has a
quiet B box. Thus fine and noise cutoffs are on unit plateaus and frame masses equal one. A
nontrivial contracted flag would give a touched plaquette of chord larger than t whose parent is
in that same neighborhood, contradicting its chord below t/4. Its charge is consequently one too,
proving (NF7) vanishes. The fine-bond complement vanishes when mean and noise put its variation
on the unit plateau. Therefore any nonzero optional warning has a coordinate violating (NF8) in its
fixed enlarged support. This holds for each processed warning regardless of other cutoffvalues; no
product of independent warning probabilities is used. The source lift retains detector type, district,
compulsory mask, actual predictor tags and the coordinate witness.
Literal recovery preserves
each raw factor and the quiet-box implication, supplying the same witness to the joint Gaussian
catastrophe estimate.
The witness transport can be stated as a set inclusion. For a processed warning i, let Ai be
its recorded finite set of eligible bond–color coordinates in the enlarged support, and write Wi for
its actual optional coefficient, including its compulsory mask. With all the preceding mean and
threshold hypotheses retained, define
Ee,α = {z : |ze,α| > ξt
p
β}.
The vanishing argument gives
{z : Wi(μ + β−1/2z) ̸= 0} ⊆
[
(e,α)∈Ai
Ee,α.
Realize the full noise input and let p read its physical variation. Taking preimages under p preserves
this inclusion and the finite union exactly; composing with j recovers it because pj = I. Thus the
witness address is recovered with its actual coordinate threshold. This is an inclusion for each
warning coefficient, available before any joint Gaussian integration or selection of several warnings.

Explicit inherited support-hit payment
For completeness retain the source’s explicit normalization of the preceding anchor conversion. Let
p have fibers of cardinality at most P, with anchors oi, nonnegative weights bi and integer sizes di
satisfying P
oi=y bieAdi ≤γ at every fine site. Assume
x ∈Xi ⇒dist(x, p(oi)) ≤W(1 + di),
covB(Xi) ≤v + v′di,
and 0 ≤gi ≤Cbi(1 + di)k, a ≥0, ε > 0, av′ + 2ε ≤A. Then, with x fixed,

e−εm.
(NF9)
At degree j, there are at most P(2W + 1)4(1 + j)4 possible anchors. Sum their anchored budgets
and use
giea covB(Xi) ≤bieAdiC(1 + di)keav−2εdi.
One term of the exponential series at ε(1 + j) yields (1 + j)4+k ≤ε−(4+k)(4 + k)!eεeεj. The degree-j
bound is therefore the numerator in (NF9) times e−εj. The resulting geometric tail proves (NF9).
Every finite address subset obeys it, so infinitely many variants are allowed by nonnegativity.
For block ratio L, parent and four residue coordinates uniquely specify a fine site, giving P = L4.
For halo-lB enlargement of the parent image of Yi, put di = covM(Yi), M ≤2B. Then
v = (2(l + 6) + 1)4,
covB(Xi) ≤v + 10v
L di,
W = (l + 20)B.
Each point is within W(1+di) of the parent of any chosen anchor in Yi. Absorb the extra tariffe2εdi
into the old weight first, replacing exponent δ by δ−2ε. The exact reserve condition is consequently
a(10v/L) + 2ε ≤δ −2ε.
This retains the L4 child factor and polynomial-degree payment explicitly. For the direct geometric
proof, with L the block ratio and the periodic maximum-coordinate distance used throughout,
centered residues place a site within L/2 of its embedded parent, while embedded coarse distances
scale by L. Thus
L dist(p(x), p(y)) ≤dist(x, y) + L.
(NF10)
Centered representatives ensure this also holds on winding paths. The lift retains residues, anchors,
degree and old exponent as separate data; recovery therefore preserves the two successive 2ε reserves
and the explicit payment rather than replacing them by an unspecified constant.
12.58
Realizing the geometric input to (NF9)
Choose a realizing M-cover A of Y with |A| = d = covM(Y ). Its centers are connected at range
2M +1. Starting at one center, repeatedly attach an unvisited center along an edge from the visited
connected set and insert an out-and-back detour of length at most 2(2M + 1). This constructs a
unit-step walk visiting every center with N ≤d(4M + 2). Treat the empty support separately.
Sample at times LBj, including zero. Parent samples form D with LB|D| ≤N + LB. By (NF10),
consecutive samples and any intervening walk-point parent versus its preceding sample are within
2B. A point of Y is within M of a cover center, so its parent is within 3B of that center’s parent for
M ≤2B, B ≥1. Thus halolB p(Y ) lies within (l + 5)B of D with the required connected centers.

To replace this larger-radius cover by a B-cover, tile each radius-mB ball with the coordinate
grid spaced by B in the four coordinate directions, with |zi| ≤m + 1. Integer division puts every
point within B of a grid point. Grids and their center connections give a connected union of size
at most |D|(2(m + 1) + 1)4; passage to torus images only reduces cardinality. For m = l + 5,
covB(halolB p(Y )) ≤|D|(2(l + 6) + 1)4.
Since 4M + 2 ≤10B, multiplication by L and the sample count yield
L covB(halolB p(Y )) ≤(L + 10d)(2(l + 6) + 1)4.
The traversal also gives dist(x, y) ≤d(4M + 2) + 2M for x, y ∈Y . Combine this with (NF10) and
the halo radius to obtain the anchor-distance bound with W = (l+20)B, completing the geometric
input to (NF9). The lifted record carries the realizing center set, traversal and sampling times, not
merely the resulting number. Readout recovers their torus images and incidences, so connectedness
and both cardinality bounds survive periodic identifications and repeated samples.
For clarity, the map p in (NF9)–(NF10) is the lattice parent map; write it as ppar in the recovery
identities here. It is distinct from the tangent readout used for variations. The finite geometric
record contains fine addresses x, y, their residues and parents, the centers A, the traversal and the
sample times. Realization retains those discrete data, so its address readout R satisfies
R(ppar(x)) = ppar(R(x)),
R(halolB ppar(Y )) = halolB ppar(R(Y )).
The identity-frame section recovers the original record. In particular P = L4, v = (2(l + 6) + 1)4
and W = (l + 20)B are identical on recovery. First reserving the charge and then applying (NF9)
consequently transports precisely the condition
δ ≥4ε + 10av/L,
which is the displayed two-reserve condition rewritten without changing its order of use. This also
preserves the full factorial and geometric-tail payment in (NF9), including its degree parameter k.
13
Marked integration and coupling reset
What a marked integral records.
Insertions must survive blocking as functions, including
when a label occurs more than once.
The marker algebra records occurrences separately; only
the stated substitutions identify their final readings. This is why the numbered-tree estimates,
repeated-occurrence factorials and distinct connected-set expansion all remain in the argument.
The primitive integrand is the actual finite integrand with its chart Jacobian, Gaussian density,
local interactions, insertion factors and masks. Its normalization is retained before any cluster
regrouping.
The readout integrates this record and transports the prescribed insertion. Absolute weighted
estimates justify the rearrangements and the passage from finite sums to a countable dictionary.
Projection onto the coupling direction is followed by an exact reset identity; the unprojected part
remains a residual activity, rather than disappearing. The loan cancellation restores the true kinetic
base before the later bounds are used.
At a group/logarithm interface, multiplication remains
ordered: with exp l= UB−1, the neutral residual is exp lBU−1, not the reversed product. Its off-
chart value stays in the record. This local correction preserves the supplied primitive integration
and all subsequent paid restoration estimates.

Insertion algebra, restoration and local prices
Fix finite markers V and their allowed-mode census. A mode is an allowed subset A ⊆V . Mul-
tiplication joins disjoint subsets and discards products outside the census. Write [P]A and eA for
coefficient and monomial; the empty mode is scalar. For positive wv, define
tw(A) =
Y
v∈A
wv,
∥P∥w =
X
A
tw(A)|[P]A|.
Triangle inequality and tw(A ⊔B) = tw(A)tw(B) prove subadditivity and submultiplicativity by
expanding disjoint coefficient pairs. On the zero-scalar nilpotent ideal, the finite exponential Exp P
has norm at most e∥P∥w and obeys exponential addition for commuting arguments. An insertion
representation consists of density exponent E, primary functions Φv, forced profiles ωv(q) and
corrections H(S), K(q), where q = (Sq, Iq) is support plus flagged inventory. With scalar profile bq
and configuration flag set F(U), restoration is exactly

.
Pattern requires pairwise disjoint Sq and inventory union F(U). All sums are finite at fixed torus
and census. Corrections have only modes of size at least two, are measurable, gauge invariant,
supported on their regions and scoped to markers pinned there. Exponential corrections vanish off
the healthy region and have zero scalar part. Flagged corrections require Sq ∩F(U) = Iq ̸= ∅and
Iq ⊆Sq. Scalar multiplication preserves these permissions.
Correction prices use summable nonnegative envelopes ai with ∥Yi(U)∥w ≤ai and
sup
x
X
i:x∈Si
aieecB(Si) ≤f,
where cB is the minimizing cover number. For e ≥0, if each nonzero term has a marker pin in its sup-
port, charge it to all such pins. At least one exists by scope and positive degree, and the exponential
weight is at least one. Summing the sitewise bound over pins proves P
i ∥Yi(U)∥w ≤|V |f. For the
unmarked background profiles the same argument charges to all sites, giving P
q ∥bq(U)∥w ≤|Λ|u,
where u is their sitewise activity budget. If wv|Φv(U)| ≤x and P
q wv|ωv(q, U)| ≤y, the exponen-
tial argument costs at most |V |(x+f) and all field factors Tq together cost at most |Λ|u+|V |(y+f).
Dropping pattern restrictions gives

Consequently
∥X(U)∥w ≤exp{E(U) + |V |(x + y + 2f) + |Λ|u}.
The lawful-density estimate supplies the uniform majorant. For a normalized mode integral use
tw(A)|[X(U)]A| ≤∥X(U)∥w, integrate against the probability prior and divide by the positive den-
sity integral. Its lower bound and the history treasury give the final bill |Λk|τk+|V |(x+y+2f). This
separates polynomial algebra from the vacuum density and denominator estimates. The lift retains
the mode census, weights, pins, inventories and permission predicates. Coefficientwise readout is

an algebra map on that same census, commuting with finite exponential, pattern restoration and
probability integration; the retained positive denominator then gives exactly the same normalized
mode bill.
Explicitly, for a mode-valued coefficient function P define its lift by
L P =
X
A
eA([P]A ◦π).
The allowed-mode census is fixed in this definition. Since the coefficient of a product is the same
finite sum over disjoint allowed pairs before and after composition, one has
L (PQ) = (L P)(L Q),
[L P]A = [P]A ◦π,
(L P) ◦σ = P.
The same finite calculation gives L (Exp P) = Exp(L P) on the zero-scalar ideal and ∥L P(z)∥w =
∥P(π(z))∥w. Record the flag set and all support–inventory barcodes so that the pattern predicate
is pulled back along with its coefficient. The restoration sum then is exactly L X, including zero
terms excluded by the predicate. Finally, for the realized probability prior νZ with π∗νZ = ν,
coefficientwise integration gives
Z
[L X]A dνZ =
Z
[X]A dν.
The displayed majorant ensures these integrals exist.
Applying this also to the scalar density
recovers the positive normalizing denominator, so the normalized mode integral and its stated bill
are preserved.
13.2
Singleton restoration and response closure
For represented density R, primary function Φ and summable forced family gi, define the singleton
density
coinR(Φ, g)(U) = R(U)Φ(U) + eER(U) X
i
nickelR,i(U; g).
The second term is the first activity-gas variation in direction g. Absolutely convergent grouping
by support-and-inventory barcode preserves that variation. Finite polynomial expansion shows the
restored scalar mode is R(U) and its e{v} coefficient is this coin: only one factor can supply a
singleton, all others supply scalars; the exponential has scalar one, and higher corrections supply
neither scalar nor singleton.
The correction representation must preserve the actual singleton
insertions after every step.
Conversely suppose the polynomial is eER Exp(F) Field(K, FR), with zero scalar part of F,
original background scalar profiles in K and prescribed forced singleton profiles gv. We show that
if the singleton coefficients of the whole expression are coinR(Φv, gv), then the singleton coefficients
of F are precisely Φv. If its singleton densities are coinR(Φv, gv), subtraction cancels gas variations
and gives R(U)([F]{v} −Φv) = 0. Nonvanishing of R(U) permits cancellation. Projection onto
modes of size at least two splits F into prescribed singleton plus higher exponential correction and
each Kq into background, prescribed forced singleton and higher flagged correction. The original
density is preserved pointwise.
For a misplaced forced singleton, take attached local responses ψv(S, U) supported on regions
containing pin ov and vanishing when that region is healthy. Put J = P
v,S e{v}ψv(S, U). Closure
joins overlapping background factors and responses into connected components, recording support
and flagged inventory. Component expansion proves exactly
Field(Closure(K, ψ)) = Field(K) Exp J.

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

Replace K by its closure and F by F −J to preserve the full polynomial. No-response terms
reproduce K; terms with a response have zero scalar part; terms with at least two responses have
zero singleton part. A sole response is multiplied by the background attached to its support, giving
exactly its hook in the singleton profile. Thus no unspecified singleton change is introduced. The
converse then identifies primary functions from known singleton densities. Higher-mode projection
yields the two higher correction families, preserves locality and permissions, and decreases weighted
prices. For field budget W, response budget c and pin occupancy M, the connected-component
estimate bounds the higher closure budget by
exp{W + M siteFactor(B)c} −1,
provided the support-exponent loss pays (2B + 1)4{W + M siteFactor(B)c}. The forest-price ar-
gument below supplies this bound; marker-monomial reweighting transfers both higher families
to the requested weights. These are the algebraic and numerical operations used in the one-step
retained-insertion estimate. The source lift retains response attachments, barcode grouping and
component partitions. Coefficientwise recovery commutes with finite projection and nilpotent ex-
ponential; absolute summability permits the same grouping. It therefore recovers both the exact
closure identity and the nonvanishing cancellation establishing the prescribed singleton fields.
In the notation of the coefficientwise lift, let P≥2 discard scalar and singleton modes.
Its
definition gives
P≥2L = L P≥2,
∥P≥2P∥w ≤∥P∥w.
Preserve each response label and its attachment, even when coefficients coincide.
The overlap
graph is determined by the recorded supports, so readout and the section recover its vertices, edges,
connected partitions and inventory unions. Each component coefficient is a sum of products of
these same labelled factors. The algebra-map identity therefore gives
L
 Field(Closure(K, ψ))
 = L (Field(K)) Exp(L J).
Absolute summability permits the stated barcode grouping before or after composition. Multipli-
cation by Exp(L (F −J)) then recovers the unchanged full polynomial.
For the converse, the
nonvanishing domain is exactly π−1{U : R(U) ̸= 0}; there R ◦π cancels in the lifted singleton
identity. Section recovery returns the same Φv and the same two projected higher families, with
their retained support permissions and weighted-price decrease.

Distinct-label component prices and exact closure bijection
Suppose supports Xi and nonnegative fi obey

i:x∈Xi
fie(a+w)cB(Xi) ≤γ,
a ≥0,
(2B + 1)4γ ≤w.
For finite labels D, let FD(Y ) sum Q
i∈A pi over A ⊆D whose every overlap component meets Y ,
including the empty set, where pi = fieacB(Xi). In each component choose a label meeting Y and
remove it. Every remaining component meets the removed support. Distinct original components
choose distinct labels. Chosen roots and their remainders reconstruct the subset, giving an injection.
Allowing incompatible remainders enlarges the nonnegative sum, so
FD(Y ) ≤

Strong induction gives FD(Y ) ≤ewcB(Y ): each factor is at most exp{fie(a+w)cB(Xi)}, whose expo-
nent sum is at most |Y |γ ≤(2B + 1)4cB(Y )γ ≤wcB(Y ). The same estimate also gives the sharper
FD(Y ) ≤e|Y |γ. A nonempty connected A whose union contains x is counted in FD({x}) −1. Or-
dering its supports so each meets the preceding union and applying the meeting-support inequality

i∈A cB(Xi). As a ≥0,

A̸=∅connected
x∈∪i∈AXi
eacB(∪i∈AXi) Y

fi ≤eγ −1.
For countable labels, each finite subsum lies in a finite D and has the same bound. Nonnegativity
proves summability without repeated-label or logarithmic expansion.
Apply this to the disjoint union of background and response labels with γ
=
W +
M siteFactor(B)c.
Submultiplicativity prices each component by the product of label en-
velopes. Restricting to permitted components decreases the sum; grouping by output support and
inventory preserves it. This proves the closure price and support-exponent loss above. For the
exact identity, expand the field polynomial and Q
j(1 + uj) and join intersecting chosen labels.
A nonzero response is offits healthy region, so its support meets a flag, which belongs to a
chosen background inventory.
Its component therefore contains a background factor.
Original
background supports are disjoint, and resulting nonempty inventories partition the original flagged
set. Conversely, disjoint permitted components recover the unique background and response label
sets by union, with unchanged coefficient products. This bijection proves the identity term by
term. Singleton responses obey u2
j = 0, hence Q
j(1 + uj) = Exp(P
j uj). The lift retains distinct
labels and component incidence rather than only unions of supports.
Recovery preserves the
decomposition bijection, polynomial products and finite-subset bound, and thus its countable
summability conclusion.
To make the recursion’s recovery map explicit, equip each finite D with its recorded label order.
In a component meeting Y , select the least label whose support meets Y . Record that root together
with the exact remaining label subset of its component. The inverse takes their disjoint unions and
restores each root. Thus the injection used for the product bound is defined by labelled incidence
alone. Realization preserves the order and incidence, and readout recovers this same root–remainder
record. In particular, equal supports never identify different labels. For a finite D, every coefficient
product and each cover number in FD(Y ) is consequently recovered literally. Its two bounds
FD(Y ) ≤ewcB(Y ),
FD(Y ) ≤e|Y |γ
have the same constants after readout. Taking the supremum over finite label subsets recovers the
nonnegative connected-component sum and its eγ −1 bound. The closure bijection uses precisely
these retained label subsets and inventory unions, so its algebraic identity and its price estimate
are recovered by the same discrete construction.
13.4
Finite transport inventory and exact ticket expansion
For a countable leaf family at one dictionary key with common support S, complex charges ri and
real-leaf bounds bi, assume P
i |ri|biescB(S) < ∞. Sum real and imaginary charge families separately.
Each sum is a real leaf bounded by P
i |ri|bi; locality, gauge invariance, measurability and eligibility
pass through absolute convergence. Sound and tuned transport identities pass the quote through
the sum. Charges 1, i therefore reproduce both original and transported profiles with total marker
price at most 2wv
P
i |ri|bi. An insertion tale has finitely many keys, so grouping within each key
preserves support weights and gives finite singleton leaves. A tale priced Av costs at most 2wvAv,

reproducing primary minus scalar displacement, original forced profiles, and coarse forced profiles
minus response hooks.
For a higher coefficient h in mode A, split real and imaginary parts into two leaves with charges
1, i. If |h| ≤bA, their combined price is 2tw(A)bA. Coefficientwise scope, locality and permissions
remain.
Include only modes nonzero somewhere.
A correction budget f becomes at most 2f.
Dormant regular slots of zero original coefficient exist for every nonempty support, and forced
slots for every admissible nonempty inventory with exact eligibility. Place exponential and flagged
corrections in these respective slots. Nonzero higher corrections have at least two scoped markers
and hence nonempty support. Together both families cost at most 4f, using this explicit history
property: the existence of these dormant dictionary slots is part of the history construction. Their
primary sum is P
v e{v}(Φv −νv)+P
S HS; the forced sum is P
v e{v}ωv(q)+Kq. Higher leaves have
no singleton quote. Occupancy converts singleton root budgets to M siteFactor(B)d; with 4f this
is the numerical budget T.
At a regular key its finite tagged monomials ui have nonempty modes and u2

Overlapping modes and products outside the census vanish.
Each remaining product is a real
product leaf at the same key, with product charge, union mode and product price. Composite
leaves have degree at least two, leave singleton quotes unchanged and occur only at regular keys,
so forced-slot contributions are untouched. This exactly replaces the exponential by one plus the
enlarged key sum. The activity expansion now selects an old scalar or one marked leaf at each
key; a ticket uses no key twice. Every term is the unselected old activity product times selected
marked ingredients. Only finitely many keys are perturbed; lawful absolute summability permits
barcode regrouping and interchange with the finite ticket sum. The result is the exact fine restored
density, factoring out Exp(P
v e{v}νv). Expanding the represented activity gas now gives the finite
transport expression. The exponential at a regular dictionary key must still be represented exactly.
For key k, let pk sum its unweighted leaf prices. A marker pin in the common support implies
0 ≤pk ≤T. Composite prices are bounded by
Y
i at k
(1 + fi) −1 ≤epk −1 ≤epkpk ≤eT pk.
The middle inequality integrates et ≤epk on [0, pk]. Composites share the support of their factors,
and distinct keys use disjoint original labels. Weighted sitewise summation costs at most eT T,
giving total inventory price T +eT T. Finally a normalized monomial has fee c = tw(A)|q| and value
eA(q/c). For c > 0, multiplication recovers eAq. If c = 0, positive marker weights imply q = 0; both
sides vanish under the zero-inverse convention. The weighted norm is at most one, and its square is
zero since A ̸= ∅. The remaining input is the Mark-step reserve on this fully priced inventory. The
lift retains key labels, charges, zero-fee convention and ticket exclusions. Coefficientwise recovery
commutes with each finite expansion; absolute convergence justifies its countable leaf grouping.
Thus the inventory reduction preserves the insertion itself and its transported quotes, not merely
their bounds.
For the countable reduction, let fi denote the real leaf functions at one fixed key, with |fi| ≤bi.

and the section recovers the original sum. At every transported profile the source’s sound and
tuned transport identities give the corresponding quote identity retained above. Finite key and
mode labels are kept through the real/imaginary split and through each compatible composite
subset. Thus every ticket has exactly the original distinct-key exclusion. The algebra lift carries its
positive-fee normalization, including the zero-fee branch, term by term. Together with the lawful
absolute summability of the remaining scalar activity series, this proves recovery of the exact ticket
expansion as well as its T + eT T inventory price.

Repeated-occurrence rooted-tree estimate
Put VB = (2B + 1)4, t = VBγ/δ > 0 and F(Y ) = max{δcB(Y ), 1}. For nonnegative vertex weights
wi with sitewise budget γ at exponent a + δ, define
K(Y, i) = 1Xi∩Y ̸=∅wie(a+δ)cB(Xi)
tF(Y )
.
Every finite row sum is at most one: its numerator sum is bounded by |Y |γ ≤VBcB(Y )γ =
tδcB(Y ) ≤tF(Y ). A forest on m numbered internal occurrences has parent map to {0, 1, . . . , m},
with external root 0 supported on Y and ranks strictly decreasing toward each internal parent.
Child and parent supports must meet. Distinct occurrences may carry the same activity label. For
a fixed admissible parent map, the sum over label assignments of its kernel product is at most one.
Sum a maximal-rank vertex first: it has no remaining children, so its label occurs only in its row
factor. Remove it after applying the row bound and repeat. Nonnegative finite restrictions prove
the assertion for arbitrary label sets.
If kj counts children of vertex j, including the root, then F(S)kj ≤kj!eδcB(S). For δcB(S) ≥1
use one exponential-series term; below one use F = 1, kj! ≥1. Multiplication over parents cancels
each internal extra support weight in K, leaving only the root factor. Thus the original exponent-a
overlap weight is at most

the external-root bound at Xi by uieacB(Xi) and sum. This gives bqm with factorial m! for the other
occurrences. For q < 1, the size tail is bqm/(1 −q). The argument includes m = 0, empty external

by an exact parent-map count. The lift retains numbered occurrences, activity assignments, parent

summation.
The occurrence reader is explicit if λ(r) denotes the activity label assigned to numbered vertex
r. For a fixed admissible parent map h, set S0 = Y and Sr = Xλ(r) for r > 0. Its kernel product is
Kh(λ) =
m
Y
r=1
K(Sh(r), λ(r)).
The realization keeps the pair (r, λ(r)), so readout never replaces an occurrence assignment by
its label range. Every finite assignment sum of this product is unchanged, including assignments
with repeated labels. A maximal-rank occurrence can therefore be eliminated by exactly the same
substochastic row bound. The section restores the assignment and parent map, hence also kj, m!
and the bin-count payment. The source’s final geometric bound uses a chosen q with 4t ≤q; its
summed tail additionally uses q < 1.
These conditions are retained with t = VBγ/δ, and the
designated-root sum is recovered before passing to its nonnegative size tail. Thus the occurrence
multiplicities and the convergence parameter are both preserved explicitly.
13.6
Graph intervals and distinct connected sets
Order occurrence vertices injectively and root at 0. For a connected graph H, let d(v) be shortest-
path depth and choose each nonroot parent as its least ordered neighbor at depth d(v) −1. These
edges form a ranked spanning tree p, whose parent map uniquely determines its depths. Let Up
consist of original graph edges changing depth by at most one and, for an edge from v to preceding-
level u, satisfying order(u) ≥order(p(v)). Then graphs with breadth-first parent p are exactly
stem(p) ⊆H ⊆Up.
The forward implication follows from shortest depths and least-parent selection. Conversely the
stem realizes assigned depths, the upper edge constraint precludes shorter paths, and the order
constraint recovers the same least parent. These intervals partition connected subgraphs. If an
optional edge lies in Up\stem(p), toggling it is a parity-reversing pairing and its alternating interval
sum is zero. Otherwise the interval is a single tree with absolute sum one. Summing proves the
rooted spanning-tree bound on the absolute connected coefficient.
For distinct labels D of size m, a parent map on D and a bijection {1, . . . , m} →D produce a
numbered forest. This assignment is injective: its label range recovers D, its assignment recovers
the bijection and transport recovers the original parent map. The m! bijections have equal product
weights divided by m!, so their sum is exactly the unnumbered weight. Restriction to this image
proves the distinct-parent estimate and geometric size tail.
A finite connected support union
meeting x can be rooted at {x}, joining it to supports containing x and taking a spanning tree.
The parent-map sum includes this tree and bounds its product. For the stronger sitewise prefactor
choose a label containing x as internal root and charge it to the site’s budget. Apply the internal-
root estimate to other labels and sum possible roots, only enlarging the bound. Numbering distinct
nonroot labels cancels their factorial; permitting the root label among nonroots in the majorant is
harmless. Under readiness, the connected-set sum with actual union-support weight is therefore at
most γ/(1 −q). This is the distinct-set bound for positive-multiplicity restoration. The lift retains
occurrence ordering, parent map, optional edges and distinct-label bijections. Readout recovers
the sign-reversing pairing before absolute values, and preserves the exact factorial cancellation in
passage to sets.

Cluster logarithms with repeated occurrences
Let R be symmetric incompatibility with R(i, i) for every label, and nonempty supports Xi such
that incompatibility implies intersection. For real activities the hard-core gas is
Z(w) =
X
A compatible
Y
i∈A
wi,
including the empty subset. The logarithm instead uses ordered occurrence tuples z = (i1, . . . , in)
with repetitions. On their incompatibility graph, define
φ(z) =
X
H connected
H⊆incompatibility graph
(−1)|E(H)|,
L(w) =
X
n≥1
1
n!
X
z∈In
φ(z)
n
Y
j=1
wij.
A singleton graph has coefficient one. Equal labels at different positions are incompatible, essential
even though the gas uses distinct subsets. Breadth-first exploration partitions connected subgraphs
into intervals with one fixed spanning tree as lower endpoint and an allowed edge set as upper
endpoint. These intervals cancel by optional-edge toggling; each remaining interval is one tree. In
each interval, if an optional edge exists, toggling that edge is a sign-reversing involution, so the
alternating sum is zero. Thus |φ(z)| is bounded by the number of compatible rooted spanning trees.
Cancellation is performed inside the connected-graph sum before taking absolute values. Assume
a ≥0, δ, γ > 0, 0 < q < 1 and
sup

The designated-root estimate bounds size-n clusters with root-activity budget b by bqn−1, normal-
ized by 1/(n −1)!. For an unrooted cluster containing a label with a chosen property, sum possible
marked root positions and divide by n; its 1/n! normalization is bounded by that rooted expression.
Tuple relabeling preserves graph coefficients and products, including repeated labels. If the union
contains x, root at an occurrence containing x, with b = γ. A nonzero connected coefficient has
overlap-connected union; meeting-support induction and a ≥0 give
eacB(∪jXij ) ≤
Y
j
eacB(Xij ).
Summing n ≥m+1 bounds the absolute logarithmic terms containing x, with actual union-support
price, by γqm/(1 −q). Summing site root bounds proves absolute convergence at fixed torus with
total at most |Λ|γ/(1 −q). The lift retains occurrence tuples, incompatibility edges, root positions
and factorials.
Recovery commutes with the finite graph cancellation and preserves the union-
support inequality. Nonnegative absolute majorants then justify the same infinite occurrence sum,
without identifying tuples that share the same label set.
The interval cancellation is itself a recoverable finite operation. Order potential edges by their
recorded endpoint orders. For each tree interval with an optional edge, choose its least optional
edge ep and map H to H △{ep}. This operation stays in the same interval, squares to the identity
and reverses (−1)|E(H)|. Readout retains endpoint orders, depths and the least-parent rule, hence
recovers both Up and this involution before any absolute value is taken. For each finite occurrence

tuple the resulting φ is therefore identical on recovery.
The section also recovers every tuple
position, including positions carrying equal labels. The subsequent root-position sum keeps its
1/n! normalization, while distinct-set relabelling keeps its separate m! cancellation. Finally the
nonnegative bound γqm/(1 −q) controls the recovered size tail with its actual union support. This
gives an absolute majorant for passage from finite tuples to the full lifted connected series.
13.8
The real logarithmic identity
Positivity of the gas is a conclusion of the identity. First restrict to a finite alphabet of s labels
and put P(t) = Z(tw), L(t) = P
n≥1 lntn. Connected-component decomposition, designating one
occurrence and choosing its component and remaining graph, gives
n[P]n =
n
X
k=1
klk[P]n−k.
Position choices and component factorials give precisely this normalization. The cluster estimate
gives |ln| ≤Cqn−1. Choose u > 1 with qu < 1. The series and differentiated series converge
uniformly on compact subsets of (−u, u), using the summable derivative majorant Cn(qu)n−1. The
recurrence yields P ′ = L′P, so (Pe−L)′ = 0. Its value at zero is one, giving P(1) = eL(1). For
arbitrary alphabets direct finite subsets by inclusion. Every fixed gas subset and occurrence tuple
eventually appears unchanged. Dropping exclusions gives absolute gas majorant Q
i(1 + |wi|) ≤
e
P
i |wi|, finite by sitewise budgets at fixed torus.
The connected-series absolute majorant was
established above. Dominated convergence on both sides proves
Z(w) = eL(w) > 0,
log Z(w) = L(w).
Removing all labels incompatible with a specified forced set only decreases absolute budgets, so the
same identity applies. In the lift, coefficientwise recovery preserves the finite component recurrence.
The retained absolute majorants justify passage through readout to the directed-alphabet limit;
thus the recovered positive gas and its real logarithm obey this exact identity with the source’s
occurrence normalization.
Write ZD and LD for the gas and connected series restricted to a finite alphabet D. For a
parameterized physical activity family w(U), its lifted family is wZ(z) = w(π(z)). The finite graph
and occurrence identities established above give
ZD(wZ) = ZD(w) ◦π,
LD(wZ) = LD(w) ◦π.
At each admitted input the same absolute majorants control the directed limits, yielding these
identities for Z and L on the full alphabet. Since the real gas is positive there, scalar functional
composition gives
log Z(wZ) =
 log Z(w)
 ◦π = L(w) ◦π,
and composition with σ recovers the original real logarithm. If a forced set is specified, keep it and
its incompatibility incidences in the record. Restricting the alphabet then commutes with readout,
so the same recovery identities hold for the forced-compatible gas with its unchanged, or decreased,
absolute budgets. The logarithm is consequently recovered on exactly the positive domain supplied
by the source identity.

Primitive marked integrals and independent tree averaging
A marked team is a finite collection of real local leaves with distinct keys, weight equal to the
product of bounds and ingredient equal to the product of functions. At fixed coarse configuration
and local tree choice, choose a permitted flag sector, local layout and finite warning and regular-
exponential selections. Together they form molecule address p. The selected integrand is the paid
team ingredient times local vertex factors, zero unless every team key occurs in p. With local data
X, sector k and selected integrand IX,k,p, its coefficient is
aX,k(p) = 1approved(X,k)
Z
IX,k,p(h, z) dνX(h) dγX(z).
Covariance and Gaussian density are those of this same tree choice; selectors and eligibility remain
inside the integral. Average over finite layout boundary choices, assigning zero to disallowed layouts
and retaining the original scalar overhead. The local vertex and integral estimates are developed
in the packet, non-packet and warning arguments below.
Expand warnings by Q
j(1 + dj) = P
D
Q
j∈D dj and regular exponentials by their absolutely
convergent subset expansion. Marked regular keys are dormant: their original coefficient is zero
and their unmarked increment e−0 −1 vanishes. Inserting and deleting these keys in selected lists
is unique; the team ingredient supplies them. Forced marked keys must be present in the sector,
otherwise both expansions vanish.
Layout, sector and selection lists are recoverable from the
molecule address, giving an injective assignment on permitted data, with explicit inverse obtained
by reading these pieces from p. The activity majorant bounds integral norms by team weight times
primitive tariffs. Summability, Fubini and integration of summable-norm series yield
X
p
overheadX aX(p) = P(team density)(U).
The Gaussian substitution is exact: dγX(z) = θX(z) dz, with that same density and tribute pref-
actor in the transformed integrand. Thus each nonzero molecule occurs with exactly the specified
coefficient, and disallowed molecule addresses contribute zero.
A molecule depends only on tree choices in its enlarged ground. Project fluctuations to the finite
coordinates used there. Data agreeing on that ground have equal projected covariance and hence
equal Gaussian marginal measures; integrands agree on projection fibers. Their integrals coincide.
Local measure-preserving gauge coordinate maps give the analogous gauge statement. Compatible
grounds are disjoint, so finite independent tree averaging factors:
Av
Y
p∈A
fp =
Y
p∈A
Av fp.
Factor the finite assignment sum over disjoint coordinate sets; unused coordinates contribute one.
The overhead is tree invariant, preserving compatibility and inventory conditions after averaging, so
averaging the team expansion yields the product of the averaged molecule coefficients. Every leaf key
in a compatible molecule set belongs to exactly one molecule. Global distinct-key tickets therefore
correspond bijectively to their local restrictions, with amplitudes factoring across molecules. Finite
Mark-integral linearity gives exactly

Primitive-integral and support-hit estimates supply the required summable norms and footprints.
The lift retains local data, addresses, selected measures, ground projections and ticket partitions.
Recovery commutes with these exact finite assignments and measure pushforwards; retained summa-
bility permits the same series integration. This reconstructs the literal Mark expansion used in the
gas/log argument.
The measure part of this recovery can be written for each fixed local data choice X. Let RX
read the physical gauge and fluctuation coordinates from the realized integration domain, with
realized measure bηX satisfying
(RX)∗bηX = νX ⊗γX.
This is the same selected tree’s measure, including its covariance. Lift the entire integrand, including
selectors, by bIX,k,p = IX,k,p ◦RX. Then
1approved(X,k)
Z
bIX,k,p dbηX = aX,k(p).
The section recovers its coordinate formula. For a ground-coordinate projection QG, composition
gives (QGRX)∗bηX = (QG)∗(νX ⊗γX). Thus equal local marginals and fiberwise integrands give the
same locality identity after realization. All address and tree-choice labels are retained, so the finite
independent average and the global-to-local ticket bijection commute with these integral equalities.
The summable integral-norm majorant then permits the same molecule series to be integrated on
either side. No tree covariance is replaced during this recovery.
13.10
Forced-dictionary fusion and scalar normalization
Old forced labels i ∈N have support Si, nonempty inventory Ii ⊆Si and coefficient Ki(U).
Attached logarithms lj have nonempty supports Tj and are nonzero only when Tj meets the flag
set. Assume summable uniform envelopes for both. Use the disjoint atom alphabet with factors
hf,i = Ki and ha,j = elj −1. A new label is a finite overlap-connected atom set containing an old
forced label, whose old forced supports are mutually disjoint. Its support and inventory are the
respective unions, its coefficient the product restricted to exact inventory and original eligibility.
These labels are countable and include every singleton old label; enumeration by N only names
them. Expand the old gas times Q
j(1 + (elj −1)), justified by absolute summability. In a nonzero
term each attachment meets a flag supplied by an old inventory and hence an old support. Every
component therefore contains an old forced label. Components give disjoint new supports with
inventories covering all flags. Conversely a permitted new collection recovers the unique old label
and attachment sets by union; nonempty atom supports prevent shared atoms. Exact inventory
and disjointness recover local old eligibility. Products agree, proving
Gasnew(U) = Gasold(U) exp
X
j
lj(U).
Regular labels and coefficients retain their regular role. Finite products and eligibility indicators
preserve gauge invariance, measurability and union-support locality. Prior widening is an injective
old-label placement in a universal dictionary with zero unused coefficients, preserving gas and
logarithms by absolute reindexing. The regular dictionary and its original coefficients remain the
regular part of the fused representation. Thus decomposition and union are inverse on all nonzero
terms, with identical products.
This choice only names the labels and does not change their
functions or bounds. The dictionary fusion used twice in the coarse construction has an explicit
formula.

For switched forced budget B0 and attached-log budget w0 at exponent s + 1, inflate old en-
velopes to eκbi, κ ≥0, and assign attachments 2cj, where |lj| ≤cj ≤1 in the admitted logarithm
range. Use |ex −1| ≤2|x| there. The combined budget is γ = eκB0 + 2w0. Every new component
contains an inflated forced atom, so undoing inflation pays at least e−κ; other undone factors are at
most one. Eligibility is switch independent. If VBγ ≤1, the connected-component bound spending
one exponent unit gives output price e−κ(eγ −1) at exponent s. The selected payment inequalities
fit this within output allowance. Unmarked values follow the same fusion formula. Exterior-switch
silence passes factorwise: omission of the required switch parent from the union means every fac-
tor and eligibility indicator is unchanged when erasing it. These supply value, price and scope
after both coarse dictionary changes. The fusion estimate for switched coefficients follows from the
distinct-component forest bound already proved.
For intermediate frozen exponent E0, reset receipt R with coefficient α, and consumed attached-
log sums L1, L2, retain the exact normalization equations
Efinal + L2 = E0 −αR,
exp{E0 + L1 −αR} = overhead Z0,
eEfinaleL1eL2 = overhead Z0.
The last follows by addition of exponents. The scalar normalization needed after these fusions is
an equality of exponents, not a comparison of partition functions. The lift retains atom types,
exact inventories, switch scopes, both component decompositions and the reset receipt. Readout
preserves their inverse union construction and these scalar equalities, with the paid-envelope bound
transported through the same nonnegative connected-component sum.
Explicit fusion recovery uses the atom-set label itself, rather than its enumeration index. For
a permitted connected atom set C, write SC for its support union, IC for its old-inventory union
and 1elig,C for its exact eligibility indicator. Then
KC = 1elig,C
Y
a∈C
ha,
KZ
C = 1elig,C ◦π
Y

(ha ◦π) = KC ◦π.
The atom tags and incidence record recover SC, IC and the inverse component union; composition
with σ recovers each coefficient. Absolute summability then transports the gas identity, including its
attached exponential, with the same paid-envelope majorant. Apply this to both fusions, retaining
their distinct attached sums. The recovered scalar multiplier is exactly
 eEfinaleL1eL2 ◦π = (overhead Z0) ◦π.
Thus the switched expression uses the same recovered Z0 as its unmarked normalization; subtracting
log Z0 cancels that factor on its positive domain. No separate normalizing constant enters the lift.
13.11
The exact coupling-reset exponent
Both fusion-normalization sides use the same unmarked gas Z0 as the switched formula; subtraction
of its logarithm cancels that normalizer. Retain the stationary path and vacuum choices. For source
v on listing X, the kinetic path family R and fixed threshold, support scale and Taylor order p, use
the actual healthy masks. Set ∆= δ(X. read(v)) and retain the committed loop coefficient α. The
reset is

The receipt R(U) averages the masked plain low terms along the original paths. It is not obtained by
changing paths to match a later choice. Regular-source decomposition into identity value, projected
payout, fault and masked rebate consists of absolutely summable series, bounded by the original
paid bill and fixed multiples. The calibrated projection, using the simple-group hypothesis and
period n > 20, sums payouts at their anchors and gives

The kinetic base splits into live low terms and high summits; the high correction cancels (α + ∆)
times each summit. Each low term obeys
(α + ∆) live + fade∆= α maskedPlain +∆sketch + loanα,∆.
Sketch sums equal head sums. Path bounds make live, masked plain, proxy, fade and summit sums
absolute; the identity also proves loan summability. Finite seat averaging preserves this, justifying
all cancellations.
The reset additive sum is untagged plus F∆+ Hα,∆; its attached log sum is
dust plus Lα,∆. Substitution into τ ′|Site|−inChannels(β′)−additive, using channel decomposition,

Exponentiation gives the unnormalized-evaluator identity with its exact constant and signs.
It
holds when the activity gas vanishes: that gas multiplies both sides and is never divided out.
Fusion absorbs the attached log exponential. The lower projection, live-base and loan formulas
retain the same threshold and paths. In the lift those paths, masks, projection hypothesis and
paid series are realized data; readout recovers them before summation, so absolute convergence
transports the exact reset and its vacuum scalar without a new path choice.
An explicit reset reader retains the pair of scalar outputs as well as the transformed dictionary.
Put
c0 =

v. logReadi(1),
r(β, τ, v) = (β + α + ∆, τ −c0/|Site|) .
The listing, projection, paths, threshold masks and finite seat average are included in the same real-
ized input tuple. Their scalar readers give exactly c0 and ∆, so componentwise readout commutes
with r, and the section recovers its original two outputs. Define the reset residual
C(U) = Ereset(U) +
X
i
logi(U) −Efrozen(U) + αR(U).
The termwise low/high and projected-payout identities give C = 0 with the original absolute sums.
Composing each finite partial sum with π and taking the same convergent limits yields C ◦π =
0. Exponentiation consequently preserves the unnormalized evaluator, and multiplication by the
recovered activity gas preserves the identity at every input, including zeros of that gas. This recovers
the vacuum shift and coupling shift together with the dictionary reset, rather than treating the
shifts as independent parameters.

Gauge invariance and invariant color forms at the flat germ
Let F(u) = f(increment(1, u)) be the regular C2 germ. Constant gauge transformations act linearly
as ue 7→Adg ue. The restriction of DF(0) to each edge is an invariant linear form. Differentiation
along exp(tx) shows it kills all brackets.
Its kernel is an ideal, hence by simplicity is zero or
the whole algebra. The zero case would be injective and force brackets to vanish, contradicting
nonabelianness. Thus DF(0) = 0 after summing edge directions. Twice differentiating constant-
gauge invariance gives adjoint invariance of D2F(0). For site field φ, set (∇φ)x,i = φ(x+ei)−φ(x).
Gauge link exponentials by exp(−tφ(x)) and take local logarithms, giving a smooth chart C with
C(0, 0) = 0,
DC(0, 0)[u, t] = u + t∇φ.
The three link factors contribute −tφ(x), ux,i, tφ(x + ei). The local logarithm recovers the gauged
configuration near the identity, and gauge invariance gives F(C(u, t)) = F(u).
Its mixed sec-
ond derivative has no right-side t term, and the D2C term vanishes since DF(0) = 0.
Hence
D2F(0)[∇φ, u] = 0, and symmetry gives the reversed pairing. Locality transfers Hessians between
fields agreeing on support, by comparison of diagonal exponential lines and polarization. These are
smooth unmasked germs.
For adjoint-invariant color-bilinear B, differentiation gives B([x, y], z) = −B(y, [x, z]). Its anti-
symmetric part A = B −BT obeys A([x, y], z) = A([x, z], y). Cycling and bracket antisymmetry
identify this value with its negative, so it vanishes. For fixed z, A(·, z) kills brackets and is zero by
the preceding kernel argument. Thus B is symmetric. Write B(x, y) = ⟨Tx, y⟩with real self-adjoint
T. Invariance and adjoint skew-adjointness yield T[x, y] = [x, Ty]. The finite-dimensional spectral
theorem supplies a nonzero eigenspace, which this identity makes an ideal. Simplicity makes it the
whole color space, so T = cI and B = c⟨·, ·⟩. Skew-adjointness follows from the real matrix-trace
inner product and cyclicity of commutators. The proof uses no complex or infinite-dimensional
color-representation assumption. In the lift these are physical gauge directions in the recovered
link space. Frame-fiber directions remain the separate kernel of the frame readout. The recovered
smooth chart and its differential transport the physical-gradient null pairing, while the section pulls
back the Hessian as a form; neither operation identifies these two notions of verticality.
The Hessian recovery here includes the nonlinear readout chain rule. Choose compatible local
charts at the identity and let Π be the readout germ, with Π(0) = 0, DΠ(0) = p and section
differential j, so pj = I. For bF = F ◦Π, the full second derivative is
D2 bF(0)[ζ, η] = D2F(0)[pζ, pη] + DF(0)[D2Π(0)[ζ, η]].
The last term vanishes by the recovered critical-germ identity just proved. Consequently
D2 bF(0)[ju, jv] = D2F(0)[u, v],
D2 bF(0)[j∇φ, η] = 0.
A frame-fiber vector ζ ∈ker p also gives a zero pairing, by the same pullback formula.
These
identities distinguish the lifted physical gradient from the frame-fiber kernel while recovering both
null statements with their correct domains. Constant adjoint transformations and the color inner
product are retained, so recovery of the invariant color forms preserves their scalar coefficient c as
well.

On tested support with 10 dist(x, o) < n, n ≥4, centered coordinates increment ordinarily under
either sign of a unit step: the old lift plus the step and the new lift wrap to the same point and
remain in the centered range. Thus the discrete curl is F there. If F = 0, symmetry of b makes
φ(x) =

a primitive: φ(x + ei) −φ(x) = Ai(x). The diagonal subtraction removes the extra half-diagonal
term, and symmetry combines cross terms. Hence curl-free affine fields agree locally with gauge
gradients. Locality and the gradient-null Hessian identity show that equal-curl affine fields have
the same Hessian pairings; the form depends only on both curls. For positive plane a = (i, j),
the wedge with sole component j equal to ziwa has curl wa in that plane and zero in all other
positive planes. Summing therefore gives a primitive with exactly the prescribed flux. A threshold-
scaled unit-color wedge is paid-admissible since |zi(x)| ≤dist(x, o) and allowed growth dominates
1 + dist(x, o); averages of two are admissible by triangle inequality.
For signs εi and permutation π, affine pullback has
b′
ij = εiεjbπi,πj,
a′

.
The subtraction records the shifted base of a reversed positive link.
Substitution of centered-
coordinate increments proves the formula on the nonwrapping support, with curl equal to the
signed-plane reframe. Pullback of exponential increments is linear on direction fields; the Hessian
chain rule at the critical identity gives projected-form covariance. No global torus affine polynomial
is identified. The source lift retains the center, tested support, lifted coordinates and reversal shift.
Recovery therefore preserves the local primitive and signed pullback, transporting the curl-only
Hessian without extending its nonwrapping domain.
This reduction defines a recoverable bilinear form on local flux data.
Let Ao be the affine
directions tested on the stated nonwrapping support and let F collect their constant positive-
plane curls. The wedge construction gives a linear right inverse W : F →Ao of curl. Define
Bf(F, G) = D2f(1)[W(F), W(G)].
For any affine A, A′ with curls F, G, the differences A −W(F) and A′ −W(G) have zero curl.
The local primitive formula and the recovered gradient-null identity annihilate every Hessian term
containing either difference. Hence
D2f(1)[A, A′] = Bf(F, G).
In particular Bf is independent of the chosen affine primitives on this domain. Lifting its directions
through j and using the preceding Hessian recovery gives the same Bf on readout. The recorded
signed pullback, including the reversed-link base shift, recovers the same curl reframe and thus the
same covariance of this flux form. Both the quotient construction and its section recovery retain
the original local support restriction.
13.14
Affine-Hessian coefficients and paid bounds
Choose a unit color ξ in the nonzero simple algebra. The affine wedge Wa(x) has curl x in positive
plane a, is linear in x and commutes with color adjoints. Define
cab(f, o) = D2f(1)[Wa(ξ), Wb(ξ)].

Gauge invariance makes B(x, y) = D2f(1)[Wa(x), Wb(y)] adjoint invariant. The proved simple-
algebra result and evaluation at ξ, ξ imply

D2f(1)[primitive(w), primitive(z)] =
X
a,b
cab(f, o)⟨wa, zb⟩.
The latter uses the wedge-sum primitive and bilinearity, with the curl-reduction and invariant-
form hypotheses retained. The paid direction tWa(ξ) gives t2|caa| ≤cf. Also admissible is u =
t
2(Wa(ξ) + Wb(ξ)). At the critical identity repeated ordered left derivative equals the diagonal
Hessian and
4D2f(1)[u, u] = t2(caa + cbb + 2cab).
The paid bound on this derivative and both diagonal bounds yield t2|cab| ≤3cf. These estimates
use only the paid directions at the identity, rather than a limiting periodic Fourier test. These are
actual normalized paid directions. The projected matrix is cab on nonwrapping enlarged anchored
support, zero otherwise.
Bounds hold in either case; the nonwrapping case has the exact flux
formula. Signed rotations and translations preserve this cutoffand radius-two support, so the flux
pullback gives signed-plane covariance, including the zero case.
Paid calculus controls all ordered left derivatives up to p. order in the anchored direction class
on the closed healthy set.
Functions are smooth on full neighborhoods of tested points; these
are derivatives of unmasked germs. Constant multiplication costs its absolute value, and sums
or differences add bounds. Ordered Leibniz for an inner product has at most 2p. order splittings,
yielding
pairingCost(E, k) = 2k∥innerSLE ∥.
Derivative and Hessian subtraction are linear on those neighborhoods; enlarging healthy support
restricts tested configurations. These facts justify the residual and clover bills, including boundary
points of the healthy sets. The lift retains the paid directions, smooth domains and nonwrapping
cutoff. Recovery commutes with these finite-dimensional derivatives and wedge sums, so projected
coefficients and their constants are recovered with the same scope rather than by differentiating
masks.
Coefficient recovery can be given entry by entry. At the identity section use the lifted wedge
jWa(ξ) and set
bcab = D2 bf(1)[jWa(ξ), jWb(ξ)].
The critical-germ Hessian chain rule gives bcab = cab. Retaining the nonwrapping indicator then
recovers the actual projected matrix entry, including its zero branch. In particular the nonwrapping
cutoffin each projected entry has already been transported before the label sum is taken. The
transported direction norm on the section keeps tWa(ξ) and
t
2(Wa(ξ) + Wb(ξ)) in precisely the
original paid class. In particular the off-diagonal estimate recovers the explicit calculation
2t2|cab| ≤4|D2f(1)[u, u]| + t2|caa| + t2|cbb| ≤6cf.
Thus the same matrix entries, flux pairing and factor 3cf are recovered without introducing an
ambient frame norm into the paid estimate. For higher ordered derivatives, the lifted readers are
formed on the recorded smooth neighborhoods and restricted to the transported physical directions;
section recovery applies before restriction to the healthy set. This preserves the stated Leibniz cost
at boundary configurations as well.

Isotropy of the summed coupling projection
For the actual countable activity listing with regularity, paid bounds and signed-motion label
permutations, define
To(a, b) =
X
i:anchor(i)=o
Πi(a, b).
The bound t2|Πi(a, b)| ≤3ci and summable bills prove absolute convergence and allow finite plane
sums to interchange.
Reindexing by the exact motion permutation, including anchor, support,
value and nonwrapping cutofftransformations, gives
QTaffine(s,b)o(w, z) = QTo(reframes w, reframes z).
Test single-plane unit-color fluxes. Translations and plane permutations make every diagonal at
every anchor equal to ∆= T0((0, 1), (0, 1)). For distinct planes, reflect an axis in one but not the
other. This fixes plane labels and reverses their mixed pairing, so its coefficient equals its negative
and vanishes. Hence
To(a, b) = ∆1a=b,
X
anchor(i)=o
QΠi(w, w) = ∆
X
a
∥wa∥2.
Use the actual clover flux and the same singleton healthy indicator at the anchor to recover the
reset’s projected payout. Individual support indicators cannot be substituted without the retained
faults accounting for that change. The diagonal paid estimate gives the sharper t2|∆| ≤c, where
c is the anchored listing budget: apply triangle inequality to the anchor-zero diagonal mass. No
off-diagonal factor three is spent. Scalar and bound are obtained at the original finite period from
the original label orbits. The lift retains those permutations, cutoffmasks and summable coefficient
families. Recovery therefore commutes with absolute reindexing and plane tests, preserving both
the scalar payout and the distinct fault terms required for indicator changes.
For explicit recovery of the anchor sum, let DN exhaust the labels at o and use the entrywise
recovered matrices bΠi = Πi. The tail estimate

shows that readout and section recovery preserve To entrywise. The recorded motion permutation
reindexes this same absolutely convergent family. Thus the diagonal plane test and the mixed
reflection test recover bTo = ∆I with the original ∆. Using the sharper diagonal estimate in that
one entry gives
t2|∆| ≤
X
anchor(i)=0
ci ≤c.
Finally the common singleton healthy indicator is part of the payout reader and is pulled back un-
changed with the clover flux. Its recovery therefore preserves the scalar payout identity; individual
support masks remain separate recorded readers whose differences supply the stated fault terms.

The local clover counterterm
Petal flux at o is the signed average of four oriented plaquette curvatures per plane, all based at o.
Each square touches o and lies within radius two; singleton health bounds its chord by t. Gauge

transformations act by the adjoint at o, and signed motions by signed plane action. Curvature of
a length-l word is its matrix word minus identity followed by the color projector, of norm at most
inverse color scale. Its paid derivative bill is t colorBill, with
colorBill(G, l, P, k) = G. colorScale−1 feeWalk(G, l, P, k).
Four coefficients of absolute value 1/4 give that same bill at l = 4 for each petal. Ordered Leibniz
gives petal-pair bill pairBill(G, p)t2, where
pairBill(G, p) = pairingCost(G. Color, p. order) colorBill(G, 4, p. power, p. order)2.
For real plane matrix q, define

Its bill is at most 1

a,b |qab|. It is smooth, gauge invariant, radius-two supported and
linear in q.
On U(t) = exp(tv), differentiation of a based word at zero gives its signed link sum. For a
square this is
[vj(x + ei) −vj(x)] −[vi(x + ej) −vi(x)].
For affine fields on the nonwrapping neighborhood it is their constant curl. Period n > 20 ensures
the requisite clover-coordinate increments; the signed average has derivative equal to positive-plane
flux w. Consequently

Simple-group gauge invariance makes the identity a critical point. Taylor’s formula identifies the
limit with half the diagonal logarithmic Hessian; thus the counterterm Hessian is exactly the q
quadratic form on curls. Hessian symmetry and polarization recover mixed affine pairs, establishing
residual-decomposition normalization.
The lift retains all four based square words, their signs,
anchor and period hypothesis.
Ordered word recovery and its differential reproduce the clover
derivative before the Taylor limit, preserving the counterterm’s normalization and paid bill.
For each clover square ω based at o, the ordered frame cancellation gives its physical holonomy
reader
Hω(π(r, A)) = r−1
o Hω(A)ro.
Apply the original color projector to this recovered matrix word and then take the same four signed
averages. This defines P Z
o = petals(π(r, A), o), with P Z
o σ = petals(·, o). The counterterm reader is
therefore exactly

The identity section recovers its word derivatives and radius-two support. At the critical germ the
Hessian recovery formula gives D2 bQq(0)[jv, jv] = D2Qq(0)[v, v]; the clover derivative then recovers
the stated quadratic form on the curl of v. Polarization gives the corresponding mixed pairings.
The norm and ordered derivative bounds are evaluated on these transported physical directions
with the original color metric, preserving the colorBill and pairBill constants.

Masked residual decomposition
For regular f at anchor o with support D, set D+ = D∪halo2(o) and let qf be its projected-Hessian
petal counterterm. Define
rf = f −f(1) −qf,
df(U) =
(
0,
D+ healthy,
f(1) + 1{o} healthyqf(U) −1D healthyf(U),
otherwise.
Then exactly
1D healthyf = f(1) + 1{o} healthyqf −df + 1D+ healthyrf.
On healthy D+ all smaller tests hold and this is the definition of rf; on its complement the last term
vanishes and this is the definition of df. In particular the constant remains outside the original
healthy set. For paid bound cf, projected entries satisfy |Πf(a, b)|t2 ≤3cf. With q plane types,
the counterterm bill is at most Mpcf, where
Mp = 1
2q2 3 pairBill(G, p).
This counts all double-type entries and their petal pairing bills. Triangle inequality bounds the
rebate’s paid bill and fault’s global absolute value by (2 + Mp)cf, while f(1) costs at most cf. The
fault vanishes on healthy D+ and has a genuine failure witness. The rebate is regular there, vanishes
at identity and has zero affine Hessian under the retained nonwrapping and period hypotheses: its
counterterm has precisely the original affine Hessian. Gauge invariance and measurability pass to all
three functions. Faults read enlarged-support data and final-threshold flags as allowed for forced
terms. Signed motions transport petals, projected matrices and actual healthy sets covariantly,
commuting with decomposition. Projection and counterterms are linear, so differences of faults
and rebates equal the fault and rebate of the difference. This permits the common parameterized
source-series reset. The lift retains every distinct health predicate and the failure witness. Recovery
preserves the two-case identity pointwise; derivative recovery acts on the regular unmasked rebate
germ, preserving its zero affine Hessian and paid bound.
Write hD, h+ and ho for these three distinct healthy-set indicators. Their lifted readers are
hD ◦π, h+ ◦π and ho ◦π, respectively. With rZ
f = rf ◦π and dZ
f = df ◦π, the recovered pointwise
decomposition is
(hDf) ◦π = f(1) + (hoqf) ◦π −dZ
f + (h+ ◦π)rZ
f .
It follows by composition of the two cases, with the constant f(1) unchanged. The section recovers
all four terms and their exact predicates. If dZ
f (z) ̸= 0, then π(z) fails the enlarged-support healthy
test, so its recorded failure witness is the original forced-term witness. For affine physical directions
u, v, the smooth rebate germ instead satisfies
rZ
f (σ(1)) = 0,
D2brf(0)[ju, jv] = D2f(1)[u, v] −D2qf(1)[u, v] = 0.
Here the critical-germ chain rule is applied to the unmasked rebate before any healthy-set restriction.
Thus the measurable fault identity and the smooth residual cancellation are recovered with their
separate domains; the same transported paid class retains the (2 + Mp)cf bill.
13.18
Low-path atoms and exact loan cancellation
A low index is a plaquette type and either a direct symbol or an ordered path-row pair (i, j). Direct
indices have mark m = c. direct, length zero and plain plaquette price. Pairs have
m = cicj,
l = length(si) + length(sj),
P(U) = 1
2⟨si(U), sj(U)⟩.

Their flux analogues are respectively ∥wa∥2/2 and ⟨wplaq(si), wplaq(sj)⟩/2. Evaluate on anchor petals
to obtain proxy Q. Home H contains the anchor’s B halo and both true path stencils for a pair,
just the halo for a direct index. Let hH, ho be home and singleton health indicators. Live J is the
clipped direct price or 1keptmP. Define
F∆= ∆m(Q −P),
Lα,∆=
(
0,
hH = 1,
(α + ∆)J −∆mhoQ,
hH = 0.
Healthy home implies kept selection, subthreshold direct plaquette, J = mP and ho = 1. Substitu-
tion, and the defining loan formula on its complement, prove in all cases
(α + ∆)J + hHF∆= αhHmP + ∆mhoQ + Lα,∆.
This includes a healthy anchor inside an unhealthy home.
The selector is local: outside the B aperture its exponential threshold exceeds universal chord
two by the decent-budget hypothesis; inside, plaquette corners lie in the aperture unless their test
is automatic. Slots read true route and plaquette stencils, proxies the radius-two clover contained
in H. Gauge conjugation preserves all chords, prices, predicates and transported inner products.
All these functions are measurable; a loan is a finite combination of continuous functions and
measurable healthy/kept indicators. Its extra flag read is precisely the final-threshold read allowed
for forced labels. Put t = p. threshold, ρ = c. relaxation. Kept slots obey ∥si∥≤teli/ρ. Chord
two and the direct clip kink inequality give globally |J| ≤|m|2tel/ρ. Healthy-anchor proxy bill is
1
2 pairBill(G, p)t2, so
|Lα,∆| ≤|m|el/ρ 
2t|α + ∆| + 1
2|∆| pairBill(G, p)t2
.
A nonzero loan witnesses unhealthy H, retaining length and relaxation for support charging. Loans
are linear in (α, ∆) and freshness in ∆, so parameter differences use these same estimates. Along
an affine exponential line, differentiating each finite slot word gives the constant plaquette curl.
This follows by differentiating the finite link product; the two nonconstant affine edge terms cancel
to the constant curl.
On nonwrapping homes the plain and proxy values divided by the line
parameter squared have the same flux limit. Their difference has zero quadratic limit. Smooth
healthy freshness vanishes at identity; its affine Hessian is zero by Taylor’s formula and polarization,
under the retained period and nonwrapping hypotheses. The lift keeps ordered pairs, routes, masks
and selector apertures. Literal recovery preserves the casewise cancellation and failure witness;
differential recovery preserves the equal flux limits and zero affine Hessian.
For recovery of the parameterized loan family, define physical readers
AH = (1 −hH)J,
BH = (1 −hH)(J −mhoQ).
Then its piecewise definition is equivalently Lα,∆= αAH + ∆BH. Lift AH, BH, P, Q and the two
distinct masks by composition with π. This gives
LZ
α,∆= Lα,∆◦π,
F Z
∆= ∆m(Q −P) ◦π.
Both are recovered by the section, and their parameter differences use exactly Lα−α′,∆−∆′ and
F∆−∆′. The full cancellation therefore pulls back term by term with the original mark m and
true length l. Nonzero LZ
α,∆implies (hH ◦π) = 0, recovering the original home failure witness,
while its bound retains el/ρ unchanged.
The freshness derivative is taken on its smooth germ;
section recovery of both plain and proxy flux limits gives its zero affine Hessian on the specified
nonwrapping domain.

Thus live low sums are exactly the clipped direct price plus the kept shortening half-square. The

Weighted path bounds ensure absolute convergence, allowing the common singleton mask and petal
substitution. The layer sums translated signed views divided by the number of signed orientations:
translations are summed.
Translation covariance moves the anchor-zero term to its translated
anchor; signed-site reindexing proves that live low plus masked cubic and quartic layers equal the
stipulated kinetic energy. The proxy layer equals P
o headsp(o, U), since signed reframe preserves
squared plane norms and the orientation count cancels its reciprocal. These are the reset’s actual
path identities. Only on everywhere healthy fields may all plain low masks be removed; the resulting
layer is the original unclipped second term, the orientation average of c. direct price +∥l∥2/2.
High freshness retains the cubic and quartic atoms on their own footprints with coefficient
−(α+∆). Arity-r paid bills are startup coefficients times tr; 0 < t ≤1 permits a common t3 bound
for r = 3, 4. Each slot is first order along exponential link lines, so division of an arity-r atom by
the line parameter to power r has finite limit. Division by its square instead tends to zero. Taylor
expansion at the critical identity and polarization give zero diagonal and mixed Hessians in all
directions, retaining the existing masks and adding no boundary term. The lift retains ordered pair
indices, common selectors, symbol normalization and the orientation-normalized layer. Recovery
preserves absolute double sums and finite reindexing, so both kinetic and proxy identities, and the
high-term Hessian vanishing, recover with these exact normalizations.
A direct tail estimate makes recovery of the ordered square explicit. For a finite label set D,

Each finite pair sum is recovered through the original ordered labels and color inner product, so
the same limit recovers the full row half-square. Its common selector can be multiplied before or
after this limit. The zero-momentum symbol identity is retained as a matrix identity, and the same
reasoning recovers its flux analogue after petal substitution. For a local path term g, the kinetic
layer has the precise reader
Layer(g) =

Composition with readout commutes with this finite sum, preserving the translation census and the
orientation reciprocal separately. Consequently the kinetic and head-sum identities recover with

their original volume factors. The cubic/quartic freshness terms use their recorded footprints and
smooth germ derivatives; their order greater than two recovers the zero Hessian before the existing
masks are evaluated.
13.20
The unmarked local scalar
Use the same positive local pool C(V ) as in the density expansion. Its paid, absolutely convergent
trained connected-log series sums to log C(V ).
Incoming-to-current label equivalence preserves
union support.
Assign minus each stream as its fixed-support regular coefficient; its support-
mask identity gives minus the trained log term. Absolute reindexing therefore gives regular sum
−log C(V ). Adjoin original-support path scores, whose masked sum is
−γR(V ) −β(billcubic(V ) + billquartic(V )) −billloop(V ).
Thus the combined regular dictionary has additive sum equal to this expression minus log C(V ).
Anchors are chosen once from nonempty supports before field evaluation. Signed translated views
preserve complete sums by finite path-seat and absolute connected-label reindexing, transporting
supports and eligibility. Here the dictionary uses full-seat averaging, including translations, with
pulled healthy masks; this preserves each complete sum exactly and retains its distinct normaliza-
tion from kinetic orientation layers.
The positive scalar token is sector prefactor times incoming vacuum exponential times fixed
deducted chart factor.
Put τ = |Sitec|−1 log(token).
Separating this from the same-threshold
clipped-base exponential gives overhead
O(V ) = exp

.
Insert the regular sum into the frozen channel exponent. Cubic, quartic and loop bills cancel their
path scores; the receipt correction cancels the regular receipt term, leaving log O + log C. Hence
exp{Efrozen(V ) −γR(V )} = O(V )C(V ).
A prior fusion adds its consumed attached-log sum on the left, recovering the earlier normaliza-
tion formula. Positivity from the real log theorem justifies exponentiating log C. The same forced
canopy-pool gas obeys O(V )C(V ) gas(V ) = push(R; V ). Multiplying yields the early evaluator
identity for every field, including zero gas, without division by gas or evaluation at a selected field.
The lift retains the positive token, fixed anchors, exact pool and both averaging conventions. Re-
covery preserves their scalar equalities and the absolute stream sum, transporting the unnormalized
push even at gas zeros.
Let S be the full finite seat set used for the dictionary, including translations. For its complete
pulled sum Gs, invariance gives Gs = G, and therefore

Gs = G.
The realized record retains |S| separately from | Signed |, so readout preserves this normalization
and the kinetic layer’s distinct translation sum. The field-independent token T > 0 has the same
scalar reader on the source object, giving eτ|Sitec| = T with the original site count. Pull back the
exact pool, overhead, receipt and canopy gas together. Their recovery identities are
e(Efrozen−γR)◦π = (OC) ◦π,
(OC gas) ◦π = push(R; ·) ◦π.

Section recovery returns the original scalar and evaluator identities. These are multiplicative identi-
ties on every admitted field, so zeros of the canopy gas retain the same unnormalized push without
any cancellation of that gas.
13.21
Pool averaging and literal score series
Probability averaging of single-forest activities preserves each common absolute tariffby triangle
inequality. The thin and thick tariffs thus bound averaged entries and deposits. Renewed reserve
supplies log-series readiness with unchanged supports and compatibility. Hence
log C(V ) =

The scalar proof uses this gas of averaged entries. Split each nonzero molecule family into nonempty-
flag and empty-flag components, retaining nonempty ground. Their subtype union is injective and
recovers every nonzero family, reindexing the integrated gas into thick and thin families. At fixed
thick family A, excluding intersecting thin supports sets their entries to zero and decreases absolute
budgets. The same log theorem and omitted-cluster restoration give excluded gas

Multiply by the banked thick factor and sum to obtain the pool density identity. Throughout this
step the forest averaging is performed at the level justified by disjoint-ground factorization, rather
than assuming arbitrary products commute with a common forest average. Forest averages factor
at disjoint grounds as proved earlier.
A low score label is a signed translated seat and low atom, with coefficient −γ/|Signed| times
its marked plain value and support equal to the viewed full home. Pullback of the actual healthy
mask gives exactly a summand of −γR. Cubic, quartic and loop score labels carry their trans-
formed footprints and coefficients respectively −β/|Signed|, −β/|Signed| and −1/|Signed| times
the unmasked atom. Footprint masking gives the placed atom. Absolute atom budgets justify the
sums. Reindexing seat translations by signed action identifies them with orientation averages of all
anchors, preserving masks. This proves the exact score total used above, with no change of masks.
Definition expansion gives exactly

These are convergent equalities before smallness estimates or cubic coefficient cancellation. The lift
retains pool entries, thin/thick subtype maps, omitted-cluster labels, seats and transformed masks.
Recovery commutes with the justified probability averages and absolute series, preserving the exact
score and channel identities in the reset.

Absolute majorants justify the displayed sum. The thick/thin decomposition and its inverse union
preserve every nonzero family’s labels and grounds, so its density identity is recovered term by term.
Finally each literal score coefficient is composed with readout together with its viewed full home
and mask. Section recovery therefore returns the same three path bills and channel decomposition
with their original seat coefficients.
13.22
Detector-to-warning implication with separate error bills
A radius-B quiet watch at o bounds fluctuation coordinates by |zi| ≤ξt/g. For field μ + gz, color
dimension d and ∥μe∥≤Mt, coordinate absolute sums give
∥(μ + gz)e −μe∥≤dξt,
∥(μ + gz)e∥≤(M + dξ)t.
A 2B watch supplies B watches at nearby sites. Choose the stationary guide bound A first, then
τ = √cdirect/32, then L with A/L2 ≤τ, then W > 2(A + τ)/√cpenalty. These ensure
2
√cdirect
(A/L2 + τ) < 1
4,
2
√cpenalty
(A + τ) < W.
Keep three discrepancy contributions separate: fluctuation response, protected mean and nonlinear
path-approximation remainder. Choose ξ > 0 with dξ ≤1 and response at most τt/3, by the
source’s linear coefficient bound. Mean and approximation errors have reference-coupling order −1;
each is eventually at most τt/3 since t is at least inverse square-root coupling. Total discrepancy is
at most τt. Outside mandatory seeds, the same-link clean-patch and grafted-field estimates put site
and pin tags on their plateaus and identify rows with actual fine and mismatch curvatures. Add
guide bills At/L2 and At. Curvature comparison gives fine chord below t/4 and mismatch below
Wt by the displayed quotas. Fine and noise cutoffs and both tags equal one. A flag would require
a nearby chord greater than t, contradicting t/4; the forced-charge detector equals one too. Thus
each nonmandatory detector, a bounded auxiliary cutofftimes a raw factor minus one, vanishes
under the 2B watch. Mandatory detectors are zero by definition; active-link complements vanish
on their plateau using the mean bound and dξ ≤1. This is the required warning implication,
dependent on protected means, physical path accuracy, clean-patch tags and curvature comparison.
Those local geometric estimates remain dependencies of this paragraph; the Gaussian probability
argument does not supply them. The lift retains those separate local error records and plateau
predicates; readout preserves the implication with the same witness neighborhoods and ordered
parameter choices.

Markov’s inequality for s ≥0 on each signed orthant, followed by the 2|D| sign union, gives
P(|zi| ≥t ∀i ∈D) ≤2|D|e(−st+Ms2/2)|D|.
This includes degenerate covariance and empty D. Suppose at most m warning addresses and p
coordinate addresses lie over one site. Each warning has a coordinate witness within R of magnitude
at least t. For finite W there are at most (VRp)|W| assignments, where VR = (2R + 1)4. Their
distinct-coordinate image D satisfies |D| ≤|W| ≤VRm|D|, since one coordinate witnesses at most
VRm addresses. Choose H ≥0 with M/2 + HVRm ≤t and use s = 1. The exponential is at most
e−H|W| and the sign factor at most 2|W|. Thus
P(every warning in W has a witness) ≤(2VRpe−H)|W|.
Shared witnesses and overlapping neighborhoods are counted explicitly.
For the actual family R = 2B, its census is bounded by
m = L4|PlaquetteAxes| + (|Axis| + |Axis| + 1 + L4) + itineraryDensity(L).
Coordinate count p is the same block’s tubular census, and M is its actual covariance bound. Its
address census is the sum of the fine plaquette types, two coarse bond types, coarse and fine site
types, and fine-link itinerary types. The warning threshold is ξtfield/g, g = β−1/2, with tfield/g ≥
P/2 for fine monitor P.

Eventually V2Bm ≤

√
P ,
P(all witnesses) ≤E|W|.
Monitor growth makes E smaller than every prescribed reference-coupling power after fixed block
and stage choices. This is the rapidly decaying warning allowance used by the activity prices. A
nonzero detector violates its quiet watch and supplies precisely such a coordinate within 2B. Thus
simultaneous nonzero detector products lie in this joint event. The preceding plateau calculation
proves the implication: under the quiet watch the curvature is at most one quarter of its threshold,
the prediction mismatch is within its plateau, no nearby flag can occur, and every nonmandatory
detector is a cutofftimes a vanishing plateau complement, while a mandatory detector is identically
zero. Taking the contrapositive gives precisely the witness used in the probability bound. The
lift retains covariance, address censuses and witness assignment maps; readout preserves their
multiplicity bounds and the Gaussian moment-generating identity.
The same joint estimate is
recovered without selecting a new Gaussian for individual molecules.
The Gaussian event reader uses the physical noise projection RX for the fixed local data X,
with (RX)∗bγX = γX. For a finite warning family W, let EW be the event that every warning has
a coordinate witness in its recorded radius-2B neighborhood. The local plateau implication, with

Here the realized detectors are the original coefficient readers composed with RX, with their other
local inputs retained.
A witness assignment keeps its warning-to-coordinate map and distinct-
coordinate image; readout preserves both cardinality inequalities used above. For the exponential
moment calculation the test vector v remains a physical coordinate vector, so its covariance is the
same A and its upper bound the same M. The section recovers the original event and moment
identity. Thus the allowance transports through exact Gaussian pushforward with shared witnesses
counted, on the original fixed choice of local data.

The primitive integrand and its local extension
Here are the finite objects to which the integration estimates apply. Fix a coarse-to-fine step, its fine
tree F, a seed inventory, a coarse configuration V , local discrete choices k, and the off-tree group
variables Y . The active off-tree links are determined by the tree and seed inventory. For a color
array u, the fine configuration has link exp(ue)(replica V )e on an active link, the value supplied by
Y on an inactive off-tree link, and the fixed tree value on a tree link. The logarithmic signal equals
u on active links, zero on tree links, and the chosen cutofflogarithm of Ue(replica V )−1
e
on inactive
off-tree links. Thus the group configuration and the logarithmic signal are different objects. Their
identification by exponentiation is asserted only on the interior domain where the cutofflogarithm
agrees with the genuine chart inverse.
A letter is of one of four disjoint types: a block packet A, an old forced index q, a regular
logarithmic index λ, or a warning index w. A molecule p is a finite set of letters; repeated copies
of a letter are not allowed. Its forced inventory is the set of its forced indices. Its seed inventory
is the union of the seeds of its packet letters. The ground H(p) is the union of the enlarged read
footprints of all its letters. In particular it contains every seed and every forced read. Admission
requires all of the following: the overlap graph of letter footprints is connected, the packet letters
form the permitted layout of their combined seed inventory, the forced inventory satisfies its sealing
and incidence conditions with those seeds, and
flags(V ) ∩H(p) = flags(seed inventory of p).
(PRI1)
We spell out the discrete tests in this assertion. A seed is a member of the disjoint union of fine
plaquettes, coarse bonds and coarse sites. These types remain distinct even when their spatial
positions coincide. A store A is the triple of finite sets (Aplaq, Abond, Aflag); its number of seeds is
the sum of their cardinalities. The read set of a plaquette seed is its coarse projected start set, that
of a coarse-bond seed its two pin endpoints, and that of a site seed its singleton. The place of A is
the union of these read sets; its dome A[r] is their coarse radius-r halo. Give the seed set the graph
in which two seeds are adjacent when their radius-lB halos intersect. A connected packet means a
nonempty connected set in this graph.
A permitted layout L for A at parameters l, B is a finite set of stores with the following three
properties:
each A′ ∈L is a connected packet,
(A′)[lB] ∩(A′′)[lB] = ∅
(A′ ̸= A′′),
seeds(A) =
[
A′∈L
seeds(A′).
(PRI6)
It exists by taking the connected components of the seed graph and converting each component
back to its store. Conversely any permitted layout is this one: an edge cannot connect distinct
members because their halos are disjoint, and each member is connected. Thus the packet layout
is determined by the combined seed inventory. It does not introduce a multiplicity of choices or a
choice of a graph witness.
For a finite set I of old forced indices write Pi for its actual fine support and Ji ⊂Pi for its
declared inventory. Sealing means Pi ∩Pj = ∅for distinct i, j ∈I. Incidence means
∀i ∈I, ∀y ∈Ji,
∃p ∈Aplaq with y ∈touched(p).
(PRI7)
Here touched(p) is the fine set inspected for that plaquette seed in the original sector partition.
This condition uses the inventory, whereas sealing uses the full supports. Their roles cannot be
interchanged.

The selector used in the packet integrand is defined at each fine site y by
cI(U; y) =
(
0,
y ∈flagsθ(U) \ S
i∈I Pi,
1,
otherwise.
OI,Z(U) =
Y
y∈Z
cI(U; y).
(PRI8)
For the packet, Z consists of fine sites whose parents are inside its 300B dome in the prescribed
sense. For the full gas take all fine sites. If a product of old forced factors is nonzero, their individual
permission identities give Ji = Pi ∩flagsθ(U). On a sealed family, the full selector is one exactly
when the union of those inventories is all flags. Otherwise it is zero. This proves the exact rewriting
of the old gas occurrence as the sealed indicator times (PRI8) times its old forced product. If the
product is zero, both expressions are zero without using a permission identity for a vanishing factor.
The footprint of a packet letter is its enlarged dome; that of every other letter is its prescribed
inspected, projected halo. Define two letters to be adjacent when these coarse footprints intersect.
The molecule ground is their union, as in (PRI1). Its admission is now completely specified by
nonempty connectedness in this graph, the layout (PRI6) of its packet letters, sealing and incidence
(PRI7) of its forced indices, and (PRI1). The empty seed inventory is allowed when there are no
packet letters; its permitted layout is empty.
Compatible molecules have disjoint grounds. For such a finite family, admission of its union
is equivalent to admission separately in every member, together with the global flag coverage. To
prove the nontrivial localization of incidence, suppose a forced inventory site in one molecule is
touched by a seed attributed to another. The parent of that site lies in the forced footprint of
the first molecule and in the seed footprint of the second. Disjointness of grounds forces the two
molecules to coincide. The same parent argument localizes the sealing test. Layout restrictions
localize because the enlarged packet domes are contained in their grounds; joining the local layouts
gives a global layout. Equation (PRI1) localizes by intersecting the global flag set with disjoint
grounds. Finally every finite set of letters has a unique partition into connected components of its
footprint graph. These statements prove that expansion into finite letter sets and regrouping into
compatible connected molecules are inverse operations, with multiplicity one. Absolute summability
proved below permits this finite combinatorial identity to pass to the countable alphabets. All these
admission tests remain discrete masks and are not differentiated.
For the common lifted fluctuation u = μ + β−1/2z, the four vertex values are, respectively,
vA = 1{packet connected}1{packet eligible}SA(u),
vq = Kq(U(u)) E2a,q(u),
vλ = eLλ(u,z) −1,
vw = Dw(u).
(PRI2)
Here E2a,q is the product of fluctuation cutoffs on the entire forced read footprint. Packet eligibility
requires its place to lie in the chosen seed place and its declared flags to agree with the actual
coarse flags throughout its 300B neighborhood. To define the profile factors, let χ be the fixed
smooth cutoffand put hs(r) = χ((r/s)2). For a tested fine plaquette use ht/4(toll(U, p)) if p /∈Aplaq,
and its complement if p ∈Aplaq. For a tested coarse bond use hWt(wire(prediction(U, k), V ; b)) if
b /∈Abond, and its complement otherwise. Multiply these factors once over every plaquette whose
projected start set meets A[300B] and every bond whose pin set meets that dome. These are the
profiles in [0, 1] in the following formula.
Let nF , nP be the cardinalities of the finite frame-tag and predictor-point sets. At a site x,
the ticket factor is nF times the actual frame-choice probability at x. At a bond it is nP times
the actual predictor-choice probability for its connector. Multiply the site factors over A[300B] and
the bond factors over all pin sets meeting it. They are nonnegative and bounded respectively by

zero-likelihood choices; their ticket product is zero.
The frame probability is uniform over the
admissible minimizing tags when that set is nonempty, with the prescribed uniform fallback; the
predictor probability is its prescribed nonnegative normalized weight with its corresponding fallback.
Thus the ticket retains the actual choice denominators, including the fallback branch.

where mβ = chart scale (
√
2π β−1/2)dim g, and NA counts the off-tree frozen links in the 10B visit
set. The terms ce are the link condensation terms; je are the local logarithmic Haar and cutoff
corrections. The far term is the signed-orientation average of the extracted nonnegative row costs
on the 200B posted set. The remaining four factors are the forced-order selector, the finite layout
ticket, the product of sector profile factors, and the active cutoffproduct on the 304B neighborhood.
The selector, profiles and cutoffs are in [0, 1]; the ticket has its finite combinatorial toll bound. The
normalization deficit in (PRI3) is per frozen link, and is retained before that toll is estimated.
The regular logarithms Lλ comprise the old regular activity and cubic, quartic, loop and
quadratic-tail energy pieces, the remote row and local chart terms, and the finite ledger terms
from Gaussian completion and covariance reweighting. Their signs are the signs in the exponent of
the original density: in particular an old regular occurrence contributes its negative value. A warn-
ing vertex is zero when mandatory; otherwise it is its fluctuation cutofftimes the corresponding
sector-profile complement. The Gaussian warnings are also retained in this warning alphabet. All
factors in (PRI2) use this single configuration, signal and Gaussian variable.

with the product tree-gauge probability measure and the one covariance C prepared for this sector.
There is no normalization by the mass of an admissible event. Local discrete choices are subse-
quently averaged with weight 1/|K|; their probabilities do not replace any of the profile or ticket
factors.
For extension to coarse configurations outside the healthy domain, use the same finite formulas
with the extended local row expressions and retain the admission masks at their actual enlarged
output footprints. For a chosen ground H, retain only the finite Gaussian coordinates I(H) read
there. The submatrix CI is positive definite at an actual admissible sector and has density

Integrate the extended product against this density and the tree-gauge measure, then take the

tests fail.
The marginal extension has its own fixed support and is not presumed positive or
energetic at other coarse configurations.

On a healthy ground this agrees with (PRI4).
The integrand is constant on fibers of the
coordinate projection to I(H); its Gaussian pushforward has covariance CI. The remaining local
data agree on the ground. Integrating over these fibers and using (PRI5) proves the identity. The
same finite-choice fiber argument proves independence of choices outside H. For disjoint grounds
the finite choice space is a product; writing its cardinality as the product of the cardinalities of the
factors proves that the average of their product is the product of their averages. The tree variables
have the analogous product-measure identity. No independence of overlapping Gaussian warning
events is used.
The later continuity passage uses these same primitive integrals. Along an ultrafilter all finite
seed stores and discrete tags can be fixed on one member of the ultrafilter. Keep the tree-gauge
input Y fixed, and compare the two histories on this fixed finite data. Their covariance densities
and vertex factors have the asserted pointwise limits. The primitive bounds below give a common
integrable majorant, so dominated convergence applies to each molecule. Since this holds along
every ultrafilter tending to infinity, the difference of the primitive values tends to zero in the ordinary
sequential sense. This explains why the fixed finite data in the continuity argument can be selected
after fixing Y , without claiming that a continuously varying configuration has a globally constant
sector.
Source–readout formulation.
The source object of this subsection is the indexed family
{(P, p)} of realized primitive data with their molecules; the readout is p 7→ap together with
the retained type, ground, layout and admission flags of p. Relative to the frame realization of
Theorem 7.1 the fine configuration U(u) is carried on the identity-frame section, z(u) = σ(U(u)),
and the tree values and Y are part of the integration variable, not frame data: the tree gauge is a
slice of the target, while the frame fibre is a redundancy of the realization. Every vertex function
is composed with π, so vZ
α (σ(U(u)), . . . ) = vα and aZ
p = ap by Theorem B.1.
The operations
whose compatibility with the readout is needed are: the passage from letters to stores and layouts
(Lemma 13.1), the rewriting of the old forced gas occurrence (Lemma 13.2), the regrouping
into molecules (Proposition 13.3), the choice average (Lemma 13.4) and the marginal extension
(Proposition 13.5). Each is stated here in the form in which it is used, with the proof given in the
derivation above.
Lemma 13.1 (Uniqueness of the layout). The permitted layout exists and is unique: it is the set
of connected components of the seed graph, each converted back to its store.
Proof. This is the connected-component construction and converse immediately following (PRI6).
That argument proves all three layout tests before the molecule integrand is introduced, so the
same unique layout is retained here.
Lemma 13.2 (Exact rewriting of the old gas occurrence). For a finite family I of old forced
addresses,
1{supports disjoint, S
i Ji = Fθ(U)} Q
i∈I Ki(U) = 1{I sealed} OI,all(U) Q
i∈I Ki(U).
Proof. If the product vanishes both sides vanish, and no permission identity is used for a vanishing
factor. Otherwise each factor is nonzero and (AB9) gives Ji = Pi∩Fθ(U). On a sealed family the full
selector equals one exactly when no flag lies outside S
i Pi, that is when Fθ(U) = S
i(Pi ∩Fθ(U)) =
S
i Ji. Sealing is the disjointness of supports.
Proposition 13.3 (Multiplicity-one regrouping). Compatible molecules have disjoint grounds. For
a finite compatible family, admission of the union is equivalent to admission of each member together
132


## Source page 136

with global flag coverage. Every finite letter set has a unique partition into connected components of
its footprint graph. Hence expansion into finite letter sets and regrouping into compatible connected
molecules are mutually inverse, with multiplicity one.
Proof. Only the localization of the tests needs an argument.
If a forced inventory site of one
molecule were touched by a seed attributed to another, the parent of that site would lie in the
forced footprint of the first and the seed footprint of the second, contradicting disjoint grounds; the
same parent argument localizes sealing. Layout restrictions localize because enlarged packet domes
lie inside their grounds, and the union of local layouts is a global layout, unique by Lemma 13.1.
Equation (PRI1) localizes by intersecting the global flag set with disjoint grounds. Uniqueness of
the component partition is a property of finite graphs.
Lemma 13.4 (Ticket identity). With the uniform average over the complete choice space K,
likelihood(U, k) =
1
|K|
Y
x
siteMass(U, k, x)
Y
b
pinMass(U, k, b).
Proof. The cardinality cancellation, zero-likelihood choices and both fallback branches are proved
directly after (PRI9). Applying that identity to the same complete choice space gives the displayed
formula; there is no additional normalization by the eligible event.
Proposition 13.5 (Marginal recovery and factorization). On a healthy ground the marginal ex-
tension equals (PRI4); it is independent of the discrete choices outside H; and for molecules with
disjoint grounds the choice average and the tree-gauge integral of a product are the products of the
averages and integrals.
Proof. On a healthy ground the integrand is constant on the fibres of the coordinate projection
z 7→zI(H). The pushforward of the centred Gaussian with covariance C under a coordinate projec-
tion is the centred Gaussian with covariance the principal submatrix CI, whose density is (PRI5);
the remaining local data agree on the ground. Integrating over the fibres proves the first claim.
Summing over choices outside H of a function that does not read them multiplies by their number,
which the normalization 1/|K| removes; this is the second claim. For disjoint grounds K is a product
and its cardinality the product of the factor cardinalities, so the average of a product of functions
of different factors is the product of averages; the tree-gauge measure is a product measure and
Fubini gives the same for it. No independence of overlapping Gaussian warning events is used or
asserted.
Three losses of the readout p 7→ap are explicit.
(i) The number ap forgets which letters
produced it; the letter set is kept beside it, and by Proposition 13.3 the regrouping is a bijection
with multiplicity one, so no term of the old expansion is counted twice or dropped.
(ii) The
marginal extension integrates out every Gaussian coordinate outside I(H); by Proposition 13.5
this loses nothing for functions of the ground, and nothing else is ever evaluated on it. (iii) Outside
the interior chart domain the logarithmic reader is the cutofflogarithm and does not determine the
group reader; the discrepancy ∆= exp(Readlog)(replica V ) Read−1
grp is the recorded group-valued
residual there. Indeed, writing B = replica V , U = Readgrp and l= Readlog, the protected interior
identity is exp l= UB−1, so the ordered product gives
∆= exp(l)BU−1 = UB−1BU−1 = 1.
(2)
The factors are not commuted. Offthat domain ∆is retained as its actual value; neutrality is
not asserted. The exactness class is therefore exact recovery of each primitive value on the healthy
ground, with an explicitly retained residual outside the interior chart.

Continuity along ultrafilters. The passage to sequential convergence in the last paragraph of
the derivation uses the following elementary fact, recorded because the order of choices depends
on it: a bounded real sequence which tends to zero along every nonprincipal ultrafilter tends to
zero, for if |xn| ≥ε on an infinite set, an ultrafilter containing that set contradicts the hypothesis.
The finite seed stores and discrete tags are selected on one member of the ultrafilter after fixing
the tree-gauge input Y ; no claim is made that a continuously varying configuration has a globally
constant sector. The lifted statement is the same statement for aZ
p = ap, with the same integrable
majorant.
13.25
Integrating primitive vertex bounds
A primitive body is a finite product of connected block packets, old forced factors, regular expo-
nential increments and warning detectors. For molecule p with warning subset B(p), nonnegative
pointwise tariffs fi and integrated tariffs ti satisfy
Y
i∈p
ti = h|B(p)| Y
i∈p
fi.
Only warnings receive h. Packet tariffs vanish offthe declared connected geometry and otherwise
equal the packet income. Forced tariffs are incoming envelopes; regular tariffs bound both log and
exponential increment; warning tariffs use the storm bound. All apply on the same local data and
sector. Put Fp = Q
i∈p fi. Nonzero body implies all its warnings are nonzero, hence the common
Gaussian event CB(p) occurs. Thus
| bodyp(Y, z)| ≤Fp1CB(p)(z),
γ(CB(p)) ≤h|B(p)|.
Measurability and the finite uniform bound imply product-probability integrability. Integrating
the indicator, then tree-gauge variables, gives
Z
| bodyp | dν dγ ≤Fpγ(CB(p)) ≤
Y
i∈p
ti.
Empty warning sets cost one. For marked team M, remove its selected keys from the body and
multiply by paid ingredients, whose product is bounded by team weight WM. Set the term to zero
when a key is absent; otherwise
Z
| markedBodyM,p | ≤WM
Y
i∈p\keys(M)
ti.
The analogous pointwise bound uses fi. Summing finite molecule subsets costs at most WM
Q
i(1 +
ti) ≤WMe
P
i ti, retaining finitely many compulsory keys. This supplies the summable integral
norms for the primitive Mark expansion, with packet, forced, regular, storm and joint catastro-
phe estimates as analytic inputs.
The lift retains the common Gaussian event, covariance and
removed-key list. Recovery preserves this indicator majorant and probability integration, including
correlated warnings and the empty-warning case.
For the realized local integration measure bηX, retain the same coordinate reader RX with
pushforward νX ⊗γX.
The lifted body is bbp = bp ◦RX.
Its recovered majorant and absolute
integral satisfy
|bbp| ≤Fp1R−1

For a marked team, the recorded distinct-key removal defines the same remaining body and paid in-
gredient product before and after readout. The identical pushforward calculation therefore recovers
its WM
Q
i∈p\keys(M) ti bound. The section recovers the original integrands. Finally the unchanged

13.26
Regular-gas factorization and exact forced restoration
Split primitive labels by empty versus nonempty flag inventory. For fixed compatible forced set A,
its enlarged-support union YA excludes intersecting regular labels. If Z0 = eL0 is the full regular
gas and MA sums regular occurrence clusters meeting that exclusion region, then
Z0,A = eL0−MA = Z0e−MA.
Cutting labels decreases absolute budgets; subtraction of absolutely convergent log sums leaves
exactly missing clusters, with original occurrence indices and factorials. Multiply by the forced
product and sum sets of the required inventory. Expand e−MA by finite positive multiplicities of
missing addresses, giving factors (−h)r/r!. Each missing cluster meets the forced region. Absolute
restoration bounds, or the fixed-volume exponential of the absolute missing series, justify regroup-
ing. Therefore grouping these terms does not change their sum. Decompose atom supports into
overlap components. Each component with a missing cluster contains a forced atom; forced-only
components are allowed. Components have disjoint supports and partition inventories. Conversely,
union recovers the forced set and every cluster multiplicity uniquely. Factorials split over compo-
nents since no atom address belongs to two components. This weight-preserving bijection factors
the original gas as Z0 times the connected restored forced gas, retaining actual exclusions and exact
inventories. This proves the regular-log factorization and forced regrouping identity once the prim-
itive Mark expansion has been supplied. It uses exact inventories and actual overlap exclusions;
the more permissive repetition count used for the absolute bound does not alter this equality.
For switched leaves the same argument holds for every 0 ≤x ≤1 with fixed supports, masks
and inventory tests and uniform paid bounds. Two fusions put components in the final dictionary,
recording switch-independent attached logs. Unmarked scalar normalization then gives exactly
eEA(U)eL0(x,R)−L0(0,∅) GasA(K(x, R); U) = P(Buy(x, R))(U).
The real gas/log theorem proves positivity of Z0 on every branch, justifying the regular-gas ratios.
The primitive Mark expansion, dictionary fusion and unmarked scalar normalization proved in this
chapter establish the scalar equality, with the stated exclusion restoration and component regroup-
ing. The unmarked normalization identity says that the final coarse exponent, its fusion logarithms,
and L0(0, ∅) reproduce the original scalar prefactor. The lift retains original occurrence addresses,
positive multiplicities and inventory partitions. Readout preserves the component bijection and
factorial products; retained absolute majorants permit regrouping, recovering the switched equality
with the same scalar normalization.
For explicit recovery, record a restoration term as a forced label set A and a finite-support
positive multiplicity function r on the missing-cluster addresses. Its coefficient has the form
 Y
i∈A
Ki
!
Y
q:r(q)>0
(−hq)r(q)
r(q)!
.
Realization retains q as its full original occurrence address, including its own occurrence factorial.
It also retains the additional multiplicity r(q), so these two factorials remain separate. Connected-
component recovery partitions the atom addresses, with every repeated copy of a fixed address
135


## Source page 139

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

belonging to its unique component. Thus the product of multiplicity factorials splits exactly over
the recovered components. Composition with readout preserves the displayed coefficient and the
exclusion predicate, and section recovery reconstructs (A, r) by union. The absolute restoration
majorant justifies summing this equality. Likewise the positive regular-gas reader gives
Z0(x, R)
Z0(0, ∅) = exp{L0(x, R) −L0(0, ∅)},
and its pullback preserves the denominator and the switch-independent fusion logs. This recovers
the stated switched Mark identity with the original scalar normalization.
13.27
Paid cluster terms and positive multiplicities
A switched primitive activity is a finite ticket sum with dependence x|D|1D⊆R. Each ticket’s scalar
bound is the product of marked leaf prices and unselected primitive prices; its switching model
is concentrated at D.
Summation gives the augmented-tariffproduct.
Mixed-activity support
and polynomial-moment weights enlarge this paid bound, with zero assigned on failed eligibility,
uniformly in configurations. A regular occurrence cluster has paid bound
|φ(z)|
n!
n
Y
j=1
uij.
For primitive budget P0 and tree ratio ρ < 1, rooted estimates give sitewise support-weighted sum
P0/(1−ρ). The omitted-cluster restoration and primitive-integral arguments in this chapter control
their support-weighted sum. Subtracting its unmarked value doubles the bill; these differences are
the switched regular log increments. Forced restoration multiplies forced primitives with negative
log clusters with factors hr/r! for multiplicity r ≥1.
Paid products and powers retain these
factorials. The paid product and power bounds therefore give exactly the corresponding product
of envelope powers divided by factorials.
Connectedness, presence of a forced atom and exact
inventory restrictions are switch independent, so their indicators preserve paid bounds.
Restoration indices are finite distinct atom sets D with positive multiplicities ri, different from
logarithm occurrence tuples:
Wh(D, r) =
Y
i∈D
hri
i
ri! ,
N(D, r) =
X
i∈D
ri.
Absent atoms are omitted from D. For 0 ≤hi ≤σ < 1,
X
ri≥1
hri
i
ri! ≤
hi
1 −σ,
using ri! ≥1 and hri
i ≤hiσri−1. Products reduce the bound to distinct sets with inflated weights
hi/(1−σ). Sitewise smallness implies individual hi ≤σ by testing one site in its nonempty support.
The distinct connected-set tree estimate then bounds the sum of repeated connected terms whose
union contains a fixed site by η/(1−q′), provided the inflated vertex activities satisfy the readiness
condition with budget η ≤σ and tree ratio q′ < 1. Connected-cover subadditivity pays actual
union weight; each positive multiplicity increases available exponent sum. All successive sums are
nonnegative. For omitted restoration, forced atoms have budget c at exponent A + δ′, and regular-
log occurrence atoms have budget γ/(1 −q) there. Forgetting exclusions and permitting repeated
forced atoms enlarges the absolute majorant. For size tilt t ≥1 and forced tilt μ ≥0, multiply

all weights by t and forced ones additionally by eμ. After multiplicity allowance their combined
budget is at most
teμc
1 −σ +
tγ
(1 −σ)(1 −q).
The lift retains the distinction between occurrence tuples and distinct addresses with positive
multiplicities, together with their switching models and factorials. Readout preserves each product
and switch-independent restriction; nonnegative majorants justify the same summations and tilts.
13.28
Forced restoration size tail
Require the tilted combined budget above to be at most η ≤σ, with 0 ≤σ < 1, δ′ > 0 and
4(2B + 1)4η/δ′ ≤q′ < 1. The repeated connected estimate applies to augmented activities. A term
of total size N ≥m gains tN ≥tm; a forced atom guarantees at least eμ even when its multiplicity
exceeds one. Dividing gives
X
(D,r) connected, N(D,r)≥m
at least one forced atom, x∈∪i∈DXi
eAcB(∪i∈DXi)Wh(D, r) ≤t−me−μ
η
1 −q′ .
Applications take t = 2, σ = 1/2, q′ = 1/2; at m = 0 the price is 2e−μη. The compulsory atom is
charged at least once, independently of multiplicity. The distinct connected-set readiness estimate
is the remaining rooted-tree input. The lift retains size and forced-atom counts separately; recovery
preserves both tilt inequalities and hence this support-weighted tail on the same restored address
family.
The tilt reader has an exact multiplicity identity.
Put Nf(D, r) = P
i∈D forced ri and ehi =
teμ1i forcedhi. Then
Weh(D, r) = tN(D,r)eμNf(D,r)Wh(D, r).
Realization retains D, every ri and each forced/regular tag, so readout preserves both counts and
this equality, including all factorials. A permitted term in the size tail has N ≥m and Nf ≥1,
which yields the same t−me−μ gain after undoing the tilt. The union-support reader depends on D
and is unchanged by multiplicity; positive ri preserve the vertex support-weight majorant. Taking
finite nonnegative subsums and then their supremum therefore transports the readiness bound and
the entire restoration tail. Section recovery returns the original signed term, its paid envelope and

Real switching and nilpotent substitution
For finite switches I, a modeled real family has
f(x, R) =
X
A⊆R
x|A|gx(A),
0 ≤x ≤1,
gx(A) = x−|A| X
R⊆A
(−1)|A|−|R|f(x, R)
(x > 0).
The inverse follows either by finite Möbius inversion or subset induction. Assume gx(A) →g0(A)
as x ↓0; uniqueness for x > 0 makes Jf(A) = g0(A) model independent.
A paid model has
|gx(A)| ≤b(A) and P
A b(A) ≤c uniformly in configurations, so |f(x, R)| ≤c. For square-zero
marker elements zi, define
Sz(f) =
X
A⊆I
Jf(A)
Y
i∈A

Addition is immediate. Product arrays obey (g ∗x h)(A) = P
B∪C=A x|B∩C|g(B)h(C). At zero
only disjoint pairs remain; overlapping substituted products vanish by z2
i = 0. Hence substitu-
tion is multiplicative, maps constants to scalars and multiplies paid bounds. For countable sums
with summable paid bounds, coefficientwise dominated convergence and the finite subset sum give
Sz(P
n fn) = P
n Sz(fn). Apply this to exponential terms bounded by cn/n! to obtain
Sz(ef) = exp{Sz(f)}.
For zero scalar output this is the finite nilpotent exponential, requiring no density division. If
∥zi∥w ≤1, bound each output-mode coefficient by the sum over switch subsets D of b(D) times the
absolute corresponding coefficient of Q
i∈D zi. Submultiplicativity bounds total weighted price by
P
D b(D) ≤c. For zero-scalar zi, the scalar output is f(0, ∅), and singleton coefficients arise only
from size-one switch subsets. Switch independence at i makes all Möbius coefficients containing
i zero.
Exterior silence therefore restricts nonzero coefficients to leaves whose required parent
supports lie in the output support, placing their scoped marker pins there. Finite substitution
preserves gauge invariance, locality and measurability. Vanishing offa healthy region or inventory
event passes to coefficients and limits, proving correction permissions. These statements supply
the support and permission properties of the marked corrections.
The lift retains real switch
values, paid arrays and finite inversion as recoverable data. Readout commutes with the finite
Möbius transform and, by the retained majorants, its coefficient limits and summable series; thus
it recovers this algebra map and its local price bounds exactly.
To express switching recovery directly, let fZ(x, R) = f(x, R) ◦π. For x > 0 its finite inversion
gives
gZ
x (A) = gx(A) ◦π,
JfZ(A) = Jf(A) ◦π.
The second equality follows by taking the coefficient limit at each realized input; the paid majorants
are unchanged. If the marker readers are also realized coefficientwise, the algebra-map property
gives
SL z(fZ) = L (Sz(f)).
Section composition recovers every coefficient, including the scalar and singleton readings. For a
countable family with paid bills cn, the coefficient tail before taking x ↓0 is bounded by P
n>N cn,
independently of x and configuration.
This same tail bound holds after readout and tends to
zero, justifying the recovered sum and exponential laws.
Finally the switch-independence and
permission identities are finite equalities of these arrays, so their vanishing coefficients and scoped
pins are retained through the limit and section.
13.30
Reading the marked Mark-step output
The retained reserve is built for the actual finite leaf inventory. Each leaf has its fee and normalized
square-zero zi, with parent support containing all scoped pins and ∥zi∥w ≤1. The marked activity
expansion produces a family (K(t, A)) indexed by subsets of the finite leaf inventory. Mixed jets
evaluated on products of zi retain only distinct-leaf derivatives. Triangle inequality and submulti-
plicativity turn mixed-jet bounds into local polynomial bounds. Group forced corrections by coarse
support-and-inventory barcode; their scalar mode stays the background profile. Only single-leaf
jets contribute to singleton marker v, and
∂iKj = feei Dj(Mi),
where Dj is that same leaf’s transported hinge. Multiplication by its normalized monomial can-
cels the fee, including zero charges. The sound-door estimate bounds each hinge’s weighted forced

mass by a fixed multiple of leaf load. Absolute summability therefore permits finite-leaf summa-
tion, barcode grouping and coefficient extraction, recovering exactly the sum of quoted singleton
transported profiles. This proves the singleton-profile identity used in the restoration step.
The coarse evaluation identity is Mark push of priced tickets equal to exponential output times
the coarse field polynomial, with the fixed scalar displacement factored out.
The exponential
has zero scalar mode. Scoped mixed-jet bounds give the reserve’s served and field envelopes; hinge
additivity preserves summably grouped leaves. Explicitly at U, write a = eEA(U), regular increments
L(x, R) and forced gas G(x, R). The established real identity is
aeL(x,R)G(x, R) = P(Buy(x, R))(U),
0 ≤x ≤1.
Apply Sz, commuting through the paid summable regular and gas series and using product and
exponential laws. Since the regular increment vanishes at the unmarked switch, its substituted
scalar is zero. The left side becomes
a Exp
 X
S
HS(U)
!
Field(K(U), FA(U)).
On the right each finite ticket has switching jet concentrated at its leaf set D, so substitution
gives its scalar coefficient times Q
i∈D zi. These coefficients are Mark-integrable; finite linearity
commutes substitution and push. This is exactly the priced polynomial inventory push, proving the
marked identity with all infinite sums controlled by paid bounds. The switched marker expansion,
primitive integral and connected-cluster arguments in this chapter construct the marked activity
jets and prove their exact Mark identity. The lift retains the finite inventory, barcode fibers, hinges
and actual Mark kernel. Recovery commutes with the finite coefficient substitution and probability
integral, while retained paid majorants justify its series passages and singleton extraction.
For the Mark operator, denote fine and coarse readouts by πf and πc. The realized kernel c
Kz
retains the actual kernel Kπc(z) through
(πf)∗c
Kz = Kπc(z).
For an integrable ticket coefficient bD, this gives
bP(bD ◦πf)(z) = P(bD)(πc(z)).
Apply finite linearity to all tickets and then the switching recovery identity already established.
One obtains coefficientwise
bP Lf(Sz(Buy)) = Lc
 P(Sz(Buy))
.
Here Sz uses the fixed normalized marker monomials; the argument z of the realized kernel is
a separate coarse source point. Section recovery returns the original marked identity. The fee–
monomial product and its zero-charge branch are recovered term by term, and the sound-door
majorant permits the same barcode grouping of singleton hinges. Thus this kernel identity preserves
both exact evaluation and the served and field bounds on the actual finite inventory.
13.31
Shipping price and the numerical retained step
For fine leaf cover cost v = cB1(S), the birth-support bound is
(q + 1)cB∗(birth(S)) ≤(q + 1)Cfoot + 5
4εv.
139


## Source page 143

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
The tariffspends another 2εv. With s1 ≥100 the selected parameters obey 13ε/4 ≤s1 −4, so
the fine weight pays both, leaving e(q+1)Cfoot. Charge leaves to scoped pins and use parent-pin
occupancy M. For inventory input budget v′, shipping requires
M siteFactor(B∗)e(q+1)Cfootv′ ≤ribbon .
Grouping equal labels sums nonnegative prices and preserves this bound. Adding the unmarked
reserve makes the marked tariffadmissible, with birth geometry and scalar activity estimates as
the retained inputs.
For fine and coarse exponents s1, s0 ≥100, widths B1, B0 and occupancy M, choose 0 < d ≤1
and shrink marker weights Iv to dIv. Higher corrections have degree at least two, so their weights
decrease by at least a factor d, reducing unit price to at most d. At exponent s1 −4 the finite
inventory costs T + eT T, where
T = M siteFactor(B1)d + 4d.
Buy a reserve covering this input with output field budget u. Response prices satisfy 2Ivav ≤1,
Ivbv ≤1, hence after shrinking 2dIvav ≤d, dIvbv ≤d, as required. Set Q = u + M siteFactor(B0)d
and require
(2B0 + 1)4Q ≤1
2,
eQ −1 ≤1.
These pay closure exponent loss and final unit correction price. Matching coarse weights Jv costs a
further half exponent unit with multiplier at most one. The reserve supplies exponential exponent
s0 + 1/2 and field exponent s0 + 1; both half-unit expenditures leave at least s0. Singleton feed
and restoration identify the coarse primary and forced fields, proving the retained unit-price served
conclusion with the constructed inventory and reserve. The lift retains shrunk weights, occupancy
counts and each exponent expenditure. Recovery preserves these numerical inequalities and the
singleton identity, so the retained step uses the same purchased reserve and output budget.
Weight recovery is explicit on every allowed marker mode A:
tdI(A) = d|A|tI(A),
|A| ≥2 =⇒d|A| ≤d2 ≤d.
The source lift keeps the mode, pins and chosen d in its realized data, so coefficientwise readout
preserves this rescaling and the reduced correction price. Likewise it retains the fine support S,
its birth support and both cover readers.
Adding the two shipping expenditures uses exactly
5ε/4 + 2ε = 13ε/4 per fine cover unit; the recovered inequality therefore leaves the same fixed
footprint multiplier. Pin occupancy then uses the same parent addresses and bound M, preserving
the ribbon demand after any equal-label grouping. Finally T and Q are scalar readers of these
retained choices. Their readiness tests and the two coarse half-unit expenditures are recovered
before applying the marked kernel. Section recovery consequently returns the same retained step,
with its original unit output prices and prescribed singleton functions.
13.32
Separation pays for complex inflation
Let B ≥8, and let marker set A have at least two pins separated by at least B2 in torus maximum
distance. Any support S containing them obeys B|A| ≤64cB(S). Indeed a minimizing cover with
D = cB(S) centers has a unit-step center traversal of length N ≤D(4B + 2). Choose for each pin
a center visit within B. By the distance triangle inequality and the unit-step walk bound, distinct
chosen times are separated by at least g = B2 −2B > 0; their integer quotients by g are distinct,
so (|A| −1)g ≤N. Therefore
|A|B2 ≤4(|A| −1)g ≤4N ≤4D(4B + 2) ≤64DB.
140


## Source page 144

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
Divide by B. The traversal need only visit covering centers. A nonzero higher correction has a
nonzero mode with at least two scoped pins in its support, hence cB(S) ≥B/64. Put SB = eB/64.
For complex |z| ≤SB, multiply each nonzero correction envelope by |z|, setting identically zero
corrections’ envelopes to zero. Then
|z|aie(e−2)cB(Si) ≤aie(e−1)cB(Si) ≤aieecB(Si).
Thus complex inflation preserves its price budget at a support-exponent loss of two. Scalar multi-
plication preserves locality, gauge invariance, measurability, scope and permissions, and introduces
no scalar or singleton mode. This proves precisely the inflation estimate needed for holomorphy
and retained transport in the omission comparison. The primary and forced singleton insertions
retain their values. The large analytic disk in the omission argument is a geometric consequence of
separated markers. The lift retains separated pins, minimizing covers and center visits. Readout
preserves the distance and traversal estimates, so the same complex disk and exponent payment
apply to the recovered correction family and its omission comparison.
For the inflation map on a higher correction family Y = (Yi), write IλY = (λYi) with |λ| ≤SB.
The coefficientwise lift satisfies
L (IλY ) = Iλ(L Y ),
(L (IλY )) ◦σ = IλY.
Pin addresses, their separation and support-cover witnesses are unchanged by either operation, so
the displayed envelope inequality holds with the same SB uniformly on the whole disk. Higher-mode
projection commutes with this scalar multiplication. In particular scalar and singleton coefficients
remain zero for every λ, and the prescribed primary and forced singleton insertions are recovered
unchanged. Each individual correction depends linearly, hence holomorphically, on λ; the uniform
paid bound is preserved by readout for its subsequent summed omission argument. This identifies
the inflation domain and its price payment as part of the recovered family, including identically
zero corrections with zero envelope.

Positive denominator from a Haar shelter
Let normalized Haar measure be μG, ambient real matrix dimension dM and chord normalization
chord(g) = |g −I|/γ, γ > 0. For 0 < r ≤1,
μG{g : chord(g) ≤r} ≥(r/4)dM .
Indeed mutually rγ-separated group matrices have disjoint ambient balls of radius rγ/2 inside
radius 2γ.
Volume comparison gives q(r/4)dM ≤1.
A maximal finite collection exists by this
bound; its closed rγ balls cover the group. Their group intersections are left translates of the chord
shell, by unitary norm invariance. Haar invariance and union bound give 1 ≤qμG(shell(r)). For
the four-dimensional torus shelter with every positive link of chord at most s/4, 0 < s ≤1, product
Haar measure is at least
(s/16)dM|E|,
|E| = 4|Λ|.
Product chord subadditivity and inversion invariance make every plaquette chord at most s. For
s ≤θ there are no flags and the activity gas is one. Signed translations preserve the shelter.
For path bound C, loop cap Λ0, regular allowance δ, forced allowance κ, coupling β ≥0 and
direct clip coefficient Cdir, put
l= β(Cθ3 + Cθ4) + Λ0θ2,
e0 = δ + l,
b(s) = |P|(Cdirs2/2 + C2s2/2).

Healthy degree-k atoms cost coefficient magnitude times θk; transport preserves curvature norm.
Absolute atom sums bound cubic, quartic and loop remainders per site by Cθ3, Cθ4, Λ0θ2. The
quadratic base is nonnegative, giving channel action at least −|Λ|l. On the shelter, path curvature
legs are at most s, the linear path field at most Cs, and the base per site at most b(s). Channel
action is at most |Λ|(l+ βb(s)). Charging regular occurrences to their roots bounds the regular
exponent by |Λ|δ. For vacuum scalar v0,
ER(U) ≤v0 + |Λ|e0,
ER(U) ≥v0 −|Λ|(e0 + βb(s))
on the shelter.
The density is nonnegative from bare Wilson positivity and positive Mark kernels by downward
induction. Integrating over the shelter, where gas is one, gives
ZR ≥exp{v0 −|Λ|(e0 + βb(s)) −4|Λ|dM log(16/s)} > 0.
The lift retains normalized product Haar, shelter, thresholds and positive kernels. Its exact mea-
sure pushforward recovers shelter mass and exponent bounds, and therefore this strictly positive
denominator with the same vacuum scalar and constants.
Write Hs for this physical shelter and let μZ be the realized prior with π∗μZ = μ. Its exact
lifted shelter is bHs = π−1(Hs), so
μZ( bHs) = μ(Hs) ≥(s/16)4dM|Λ|.
This is a condition on the recovered physical links, retaining the original plaquette threshold. Put
RZ = R ◦π. The same prior pushforward and nonnegativity give
Z
RZ dμZ = ZR ≥
Z
b
Hs
RZ dμZ ≥ev0−|Λ|(e0+βb(s))(s/16)4dM|Λ|.
On that preimage the recovered gas is exactly one.
The section recovers both the shelter and
its exponent reader. Thus the denominator estimate is an identity of the normalized integration
measures followed by the original shelter lower bound, with unchanged link census, vacuum scalar
and ambient-dimension cost.

≤exp {|Λ|[2e0 + κ + βb(s) + 4dM log(16/s)] + |V |(x + y + 2f)} .
The vacuum scalar v0 cancels. The numerator retains its full law and integration domain. For
selected history take s = bgk = bβ−1/2
k
and β ≤2 bβk. Monotonicity of the nonnegative loop and base
prices gives the explicit volume coefficient
τk = 2{δk + lk(2 bβk)} + κk + 2 bβkbk(bgk) + 4dM log(16/bgk).
This is the extensive root estimate for omission. Its extensivity is explicit; no volume factor is
silently absorbed in an error tending to zero. For P(s) = exp{(log log s)2} and Θ(s) = s−1/2P(s),
each fixed b and p > 0 satisfy eventually P(s)b ≤sp, since b(log log s)2/ log s →0. Hence eventually

k = 1. Therefore
τk ≤2{1 + (4Ck + 1)} + 1 + |P|(Cdir,k + C2

Stage parameters remain explicit; logarithmic reference-coupling growth is asserted after fixing
them. The lift retains the same normalized numerator, denominator and history parameters. Exact
probability readout and the recovered denominator bound preserve the cancellation and volume
coefficient, without absorbing volume into a vanishing error.
The normalized mode reader is recovered as a ratio of two exact integrals. For the realized prior

The denominator is strictly positive by the recovered shelter estimate. Its vacuum factor ev0 is
the same one present in the numerator majorant, so cancellation leaves precisely the displayed
extensive bill. All history choices entering τk are recorded scalar data; readout retains bgk, the band
β ≤2 bβk, and the fixed stage constants. Consequently its monotonicity substitution and stagewise
logarithmic bound recover with the same quantifier order and site factor |Λk|. Section recovery
returns the original full-law mode integral and treasury estimate.

The analytic stationary graph, loop moments and the cali-
brated coupling history
Elimination, response and the order of choices.
The stationary graph removes auxiliary
fluctuation coordinates only after solving their own equations on the declared analytic neighborhood.
Writing the fluctuation as v∗(a), the effective quantity is obtained by evaluation at (a, v∗(a)). An
eliminated coordinate is not a gauge direction: its recovery requires the stationary equation, its
invertible restricted Hessian and the response estimates proved below. Nonzero stationary residuals
remain measurable in the raw history.
The loop moments and drift are then computed on this graph.
Their coefficient fixes the
reference slope used by the calendar; the native source order does not select that slope. Widths,
block lengths, demands, reserves and delays are chosen in the stated dependency order before the
terminal cutoffand physical period. The finest-scale density is identified exactly with the Wilson
representative, and finite shooting arcs supply actual calibrated couplings. The combined startup
allowance uses the band x/2 ≤β ≤2x: its lower endpoint controls the forced part and its upper
endpoint the regular part. These finite statements, followed by retirement and stability, supply the
family needed by the limit; an auxiliary Hessian or formal probe alone does not supply it.
This section contains the analytic core of the supplied construction that lies between the vacuum
bill of the marked integration and the omission comparison of the convergence chapter: from the
common analytic stationary graph to the uniform running of the actual coupling. It supplies the
analytic objects on which the stationary integrations, the one-loop drift, the asymptotic calendar
and the finite calibrated coupling histories actually rest. Each subsection first gives the supplied
derivation in full, with its tagged equations, and then its source–readout formulation. Through-
out, raw histories, discrepancies and off-shell values are kept beside every stationary or calibrated
restriction.

14.1
A common analytic stationary graph and its response estimates
We specify first the actual score to which the analytic argument is applied, at a fixed derivative order
n ≥2. A retained coordinate is a coarse oriented bond together with a real color index. A vertical
coordinate is a free fine bond of the fixed forest together with such an index. Their disjoint union
is the joint coordinate set. Arrays carry the maximum norm. Splitting the union is an isometry;
replacing real color coordinates by their Euclidean color vector defines a linear isomorphism paint.
Its norm is at most 1 + dim g, and its inverse has norm at most one. Moreover the sum of squared
vertical real coordinates is exactly the sum of squared Euclidean color norms. Denote the resulting
retained and vertical vectors by (tint x, tint v). The actual scalar score in these coordinates is
F(x, v) = tested(tint x, tint v).
(AS1)
Thus it is the main fine action plus the prediction penalty, with the fine and outer configurations
constructed from these same variables. The connector is not an independent variable. A retained
coordinate is addressed at its embedded coarse site, and a vertical coordinate at its fine site. Each
address fiber has at most h = |TypeFace1×ColorIndex|+|Axis×ColorIndex| members: orientation
and color distinguish the members, and the coarse embedding is injective.
Here is the local-to-global estimate, including the counting loss. For addressed coordinate slots
q1, . . . , qk, put S(y, q) = P
i dist(y, address(qi)). An anchor estimate of price M and width a means
|Dkf[eq1, . . . , eqk]| ≤Me−aS(y,q)
(k ≤n).
(AS2)
If a term depends only on coordinates within distance R of y, and its operator derivatives through
order n are bounded by M0, a coordinate derivative vanishes whenever one of its slots is outside
that set. Otherwise S ≤nR. Thus (AS2) holds with M = M0eanR. For path series the common
exponentially weighted length budget dominates these derivative sums absolutely; differentiation
term by term follows on a smaller common analytic neighborhood. This proves the same estimate
for the cubic and quartic series, not merely for finite path sums.
Sum such terms over anchors with multiplicity at most h0. Fix a marked slot qj. The triangle
inequality gives P
i dist(address(qj), address(qi)) ≤(n + 1)S(y, q) and dist(y, address(qj)) ≤S(y, q).
Split the exponential in half and use the lattice counting estimate
c(b) = 16 6!e2bb−6.
The summed derivative has price Mh0c(a/2) and width a/[2(n+1)], measured from any marked slot.
This is the Scatter bound used here. At order zero there is no marked slot; no volume-independent
bound for the total scalar action is being asserted.
For the actual main score take
a =
μ
4(n + 1)(1 + L).
At a signed site its density is the sum over planes of pdirect price(U□) + ∥l(U)□∥2/2, together with
the cubic and quartic path series. The plaquette has length four and locality radius 5 + L. The
matrix product rule costs 2n per product; inversion costs one for unitary matrices. In particular,
writing Cn(K, C) = n!K(1 + C)n, a walk of length at most r has derivative price
Tn(r, C) = Cn
 e∥1∥[1 + 2n(1 + r)]n, C
.
The Wilson price has bound P(C) = 1+∥traceCharge∥C, where traceCharge(M) = −Re tr(M)/m.
If o is the purchased outer-link jet bound, the fine-link bound is Cf = H + 2nH2, H = o + ∥1∥,

by the same product rule. These are ordinary finite-dimensional derivative bounds on the unit real
coordinate ball.
To make the path prices explicit, let rμ be the common path analyticity radius at width μ/2,
and set Jn = Cn([1+2n/rμ]n, Cf). If sG is the color-slot coefficient and cG the real color projection,
the row and atom prices are Rn = Jn|sG|∥cG∥eμ and An,k = Jn|sG|keμ. These are the convergent
weighted path bounds obtained by spending half the exponential length width. Choose Z′ > 0
bounding all derivatives through order n of w 7→∥w∥2/2 on ∥w∥≤CRn; any number exceeding
1 + CRn + (CRn)2/2 suffices. Put Nn = Pn
i=0 |OrderedFinpartition(i)|. The per-plane and per-site
prices are
Qn = |pdirect|P(Tn(4, Cf))ean(5+L) + NnZ′(1 + CRn)n,
Mn = 6Qn + CAn,3 + CAn,4.
(AS3)
The second term is the ordered-partition chain rule for the squared row. Signed site maps are
injective, so their anchor multiplicity is one. Averaging over the signed symmetries cancels their
number. The main-action Scatter price is therefore Mnc(a/2).
For the prediction term choose derivative inputs through order n + 1 first. If C+
f is the fine-link
price at that order, put
F∗= 2 alignCost pathChange + L variation,
ρ = min
(
ρframe,
√predictorCut
F∗
,
r
colorScale F∗
)
.
(AS4)
Here ρframe is the positive local minimizer radius for the frame score with the purchased (n+1)-jets
and half its root gap. The constants pathChange and variation bound the actual connector paths
under a unit coordinate displacement; alignCost converts the two endpoint frames. The three in-
equalities in (AS4) keep the frame minimizer in its implicit chart, keep the focus below its predictor
cutoff, and keep its group logarithm inside radius r, respectively. Consequently the selected con-
nector agrees there with the analytic minimizer. One differentiates that analytic expression, rather
than the discrete selection tags.
Here are the local frame constants in this formula. Let NP be the number of frame points,
with the central frame fixed to the identity. The blank score’s quadratic form is the average over
ordered point pairs of squared differences of their logarithmic frame coordinates. The pairs with
one endpoint at the fixed center contribute twice the sum of squared free coordinates. Consequently
its counting gap is gP = 2/N2
P . Put en = Cn(K, 1), and, for input link jets bounded by C, set
Sn = P (2n[2nenTn(8R, Cn(C, 1))]en) ,
RH = min

(AS4a)
There are two frame factors and an intervening route of length at most 8R; their product gives
exactly this jet bound for the frame score. The mean-value estimate for its Hessian on the radius-
RH ball changes the blank Hessian by at most SnRH ≤gP /2. Its inverse there has counting-norm
bound 2/gP . Let J = 1 + 8RC/colorScale, the path chord price, and let A = alignCost J. For the

(AS4b)
The last term puts the logarithmic coordinate of the selected minimizing frame inside the Hilbert
ball; the preceding two ensure its branch and logarithm agree with the chosen analytic chart. These
are the finite local frame and alignment constructions in the nonlinear geometry section. Applying
them with order n + 1 is why the penalty estimate purchases that extra order before choosing
(AS4).

The implicit derivative polynomial used here is also explicit.
For branch value bound R0,
equation jet bound M, and inverse linearized-equation bound C0, define
I0 = R0,
Ia+1 = Ia + C0M{1 + |OrderedFinpartition(a + 1)|(1 + Ia)a+1}.
(AS4c)
Differentiate the implicit equation a + 1 times.
Its single-block term is the vertical linearized
equation applied to the unknown highest branch derivative. Every other ordered-partition term
uses only branch derivatives of orders at most a, and is bounded by M(1+Ia)a+1. Multiplication by
the inverse bound proves the recursion; the added Ia retains all lower jets. In the frame application
R0 = 1, M is the frame-score price and C0 = 2/gP . This defines the polynomial used in the next
paragraph without an unpriced implicit differentiation step.
More explicitly, let In be the implicit-derivative polynomial for the local frame score, evaluated
with its score-jet price and inverse half-root-gap. The frame transport price is Hn = Cn(K, In).
Then the connector price is Kconn = 2n[2nHnTn(L, C+
f )]Hn, by its two endpoint factors and inter-
vening path. Here K bounds the local exponential chart jets, and W below bounds the focus-map
jets on the radius kept by (AS4). Also on+1 = Cn+1(Z, 1 + dim g), where Z is the purchased group-
chart jet price. Each prediction bond is supported within radius 3L + 16R, where R is the patch
radius. Its anchor price is explicitly
Npred = P (2non+1Cn(W, Kconn)) ean(3L+16R).
(AS5)
There are four coarse bond orientations per embedded anchor, so summation has multiplicity four.
Thus the penalty Scatter price is 4|ppenalty|Npredc(a/2). Combining the two terms gives the actual
price
C∗= 1 + |Mnc(a/2) + 4|ppenalty|Npredc(a/2)| ,
a∗= a/[2(n + 1)].
(AS6)
All constants in (AS3)–(AS6) are fixed from the group, stage, path budgets, local frame jets and
patch geometry before the torus period. In particular no number of lattice sites occurs in them.
Finally the origin slope and gap are consequences of the actual score expansion. The quadratic
line limit is one half of the signed average of P

penalty times the squared linear prediction residuals. Cubic and quartic terms start in their re-
spective orders. Analytic Taylor expansion therefore gives zero first derivative at zero and this
quadratic form as the Hessian. Restrict to vertical vectors. Keeping the identity signed orienta-
tion gives coefficients b = pdirect/|Signed| and ppenalty in front of the curl and prediction-residual
energies. The forest counting estimate reconstructs a vertical field from these energies, with loss
K = curlFactor(L, box, linkCost)+probeFactor(L). Its tree edges vanish; the harness link estimate
bounds the remaining reconstructed links. Hence

The local link reconstruction bounds a nonnegative link norm by EL times the sum of curvature

reindexing their coarse parent and residue, introduces 4VL positive-axis residue bonds; a fixed
translated curvature can occur at most |X| times. A residual occurs VL times. Thus
Kcurl = 2E2
LVL 4 (6|X|) |X|,
Kprobe = 2VL,
K = Kcurl + Kprobe.
(AS8)
This derives the finite denominator in (AS7); it may grow with the blocking ratio and fixed patch,
but never with the macroscopic torus period. The positive numerator is part of the actual step
hypotheses. The equality of color and coordinate squared sums above gives precisely this counting
norm, with no dimension conversion. Also tint(ei) is the corresponding physical color frame, so the
vertical Hessian block is the physical one. Invertibility of tint shows that the zero vertical derivative
in (AS1) is exactly the original stationary equation. Thus (AS4), (AS6), the address multiplicity h,
and the gap in (AS7) provide the actual initial radius, width, price, multiplicity and gap for (US1)–
(US8). Their stationary graph, inverse-Hessian and determinant estimates consequently apply on
the same common domain used in stationary integration and the reference chart.
We make explicit the uniform implicit construction used in the stationary integrations. Split the
finite coordinate set into retained coordinates ι and vertical coordinates τ, assign every coordinate
a lattice site by l, and assume at most K coordinates have any given site.
Arrays carry their
maximum norm.
Write f(x, v) for the real analytic cost, S(x, v) = Dvf(x, v) for its vertical
gradient, and H(x, v) = D2
vf(x, v). The analytic scatter bounds established above say that its
coordinate derivatives, through a purchased order N ≥3, are bounded by a constant C > 0 times
the exponential connecting weights with width a > 0, on the maximum-norm ball of radius r > 0.

All these inputs were obtained for the actual cost; a bound on the extensive value f(0, 0) is unnec-
essary.
Take the explicit four-dimensional counting bound c(a) = 16·6!e2aa−6. A distance shell of radius
k has at most (2k + 1)4 sites. The exponential-series inequality ea(k+2) ≥[a(k + 2)]6/6! bounds its
contribution by c(a)/[(k + 1)(k + 2)]. Summing the telescoping series gives P
y e−a dist(z,y) ≤c(a),
uniformly in the period. Bounded multiplicity changes this to Kc(a). Put D = Kc(a). The scatter
third-derivative bound and integration along a segment give
∥H(z) −H(0)∥∞→∞≤∥z∥∞CD2.
(US2)
The same row and column sums bound the corresponding quadratic form: apply 2|uiuj| ≤u2

to each entry. Thus the gap remains at least m/2 on the ball of radius
RH = min{r/2, m/[2(1 + CD2)]}.
(US3)
We need an inverse in the maximum norm with a price independent of the number of sites.
Suppose a matrix B has entries bounded by Ce−a dist(li,lj) and counting gap M > 0. For a fixed site
z, conjugate it by the diagonal weights wi = eb dist(z,li). The triangle inequality and |et −1| ≤|t|e|t|
show that, if 0 < b ≤a/4, the difference from B has entries bounded by
Cb(4/a)e−(a/2) dist(li,lj).

The quadratic-form price of the perturbation is at most M/2; hence the conjugated matrix has
counting coercivity M/2. It need not be symmetric. To estimate its inverse column, solve Bu = ej,
take z = lj, and put vi = wiui. Coercivity gives

(US5)
Summing a row yields a maximum-norm inverse price (2/M)Kc(b). This argument uses the true
counting gap and exponential summability throughout, and introduces no volume-dependent equiv-
alence between the maximum and Euclidean norms.
Apply this with M = m/2 on (US3), and denote the resulting width by b. Set
J = 1 + (4/m)Kc(b),
RV = min{RH, [4J(1 + CD2)]−1},
RX = min{RV , RV /[4J(1 + CD)]}.
(US6)
For ∥x∥< RX, consider the map Yx(v) = v −H(0, 0)−1S(x, v) on ∥v∥≤RV . Its derivative is
H(0, 0)−1{H(0, 0) −H(x, v)}. Equations (US2) and (US6) give its norm at most 1/4. Integrating
the mixed Hessian in the retained variable gives ∥S(x, 0)∥≤CD∥x∥, so ∥Yx(0)∥≤RV /4. Therefore
∥Yx(v)∥≤RV /2 on that closed ball. Iteration is Cauchy with successive differences reduced by
1/4; its limit g(x) is its unique fixed point. Since H(0, 0) is invertible, being a fixed point is exactly
S(x, g(x)) = 0. We have
g(0) = 0,
∥g(x)∥≤RV /2,
S(x, v) = 0, ∥v∥≤RV
=⇒v = g(x).
(US7)
At every point of this graph the vertical Hessian is invertible. The local analytic implicit function
theorem gives an analytic branch there; its continuity keeps it inside the same vertical ball nearby,
and uniqueness in (US7) identifies it with g. These local identifications prove analyticity of the
single graph on the whole retained ball. This also identifies any retained critical germ with this
graph wherever both satisfy the corridor bounds.
For completeness, its higher response estimates follow directly from the critical equation, rather
than from a dimension-dependent implicit-function norm.
Let Z(x) = (x, g(x)).
Differentiate
S ◦Z = 0 k + 1 times. In the ordered-partition chain formula the one-block term containing Dk+1g
is H(Z)Dk+1g; every other term contains graph derivatives of order at most k. At a fixed purchased
order use the common width
b∗= min{weakerN(a), weakerN(b)} > 0,
where weakerN(t) = t/[2(N +1)]. Combining the joining-tree weights loses only this width once for
the whole induction: the span of any one resulting tree is at most the sum of its constituent spans,
and splitting each available exponent between this connecting span and the summation variables
leaves the remaining half for the counting sums. At most N +1 vertices are joined at the purchased
order. If Pk prices graph derivatives through order k, the other terms have price at most
Fk = C + | OrderedPart(k + 1)|[C{1 + PkKc(a/2)}]k+1.

therefore bounds every coordinate response through order k+1, with its connecting-tree exponential
of width b∗. Every constant in (US3)–(US8) depends on the purchased finite orders and local input
prices, but not the period. Differentiating f◦Z uses the same ordered partitions; its terms containing
a vertical first derivative of f vanish by stationarity. This gives the on-shell action bounds used
in the nonlinear integral and the reference estimates. The separate stronger strip estimates for
generated precision kernels retain their own widths; (US8) does not replace them.
Source–readout formulation.
The pair (retained coordinates, vertical coordinates) is exactly
the auxiliary-elimination situation of the source-lift method: an auxiliary variable v is eliminated
by a stationary section, and the recovery of the effective theory depends on keeping the residual.
The raw sector is the corridor
Kst = {(x, v) : ∥x∥< RX, ∥v∥≤RV },
Readret(x, v) = x,
ιst(x) = (x, g(x)),
with residual column S(x, v) = Dvf(x, v) retained at every point, including where it is nonzero.
Here f, S, H, RX, RV , J and the graph g are the objects constructed in (US1)–(US8). Then
Readret ιst = id, while ιst Readret ̸= id: the fibre of the retained readout is the vertical ball, and
the stationary section selects one point of it. The three analytic inputs of the derivation, and its
conclusion, are used later in the following quotable forms.
Lemma 14.1 (Scatter bound). Let terms with anchor estimates (M, a) be summed over anchors
with multiplicity at most h0. Then the sum has, measured from any marked slot, price Mh0 c(a/2)
and width a/[2(n + 1)], where c(b) = 16 · 6! e2bb−6.
Proof. Fix a marked slot qj.
The triangle inequality gives P
i dist(address(qj), address(qi)) ≤
(n + 1)S(y, q) and dist(y, address(qj)) ≤S(y, q).
Split e−aS = e−aS/2e−aS/2; the first factor is
at most the connecting weight of width a/[2(n+1)] from the marked slot and the second is at most
e−(a/2) dist(y,address(qj)). The counting estimate P
y e−b dist(z,y) ≤c(b), proved below at (US2), sums
the anchors. At order zero there is no marked slot, and no volume-independent bound for the total
scalar action is asserted.
Lemma 14.2 (Implicit derivative polynomial). For a branch of an implicit equation with value
bound R0, equation jet bound M and inverse linearized-equation bound C0, define
I0 = R0,
Ia+1 = Ia + C0M
1 + |OrderedFinpartition(a + 1)|(1 + Ia)a+1	.
Then Ia bounds all branch derivatives through order a.
Proof. Differentiate the implicit equation a + 1 times.
In the ordered-partition chain formula
the single-block term is the vertical linearized equation applied to the unknown highest branch
derivative. Every other term uses branch derivatives of order at most a and is bounded by M(1 +
Ia)a+1; there are at most |OrderedFinpartition(a + 1)| of them, and the explicit derivative of the
equation in the parameter contributes at most M. Applying the inverse bound C0 and adding Ia
(which keeps all lower jets) gives the recursion.
Lemma 14.3 (Period-free weighted inverse). Let B have entries bounded by Ce−a dist(li,lj) and
counting gap M > 0 (it need not be symmetric), and let

Proof. Fix a site z and conjugate by wi = eb dist(z,li).

used; no equivalence of maximum and Euclidean norms enters.
Theorem
14.4
(The
common
stationary
graph). For ∥x∥
<
RX
the map Yx(v)
=
v −H(0, 0)−1S(x, v) is a contraction with constant 1/4 of the ball ∥v∥≤RV into the ball
of radius RV /2. Its fixed point g(x) satisfies
g(0) = 0,
∥g(x)∥≤RV /2,
 S(x, v) = 0, ∥v∥≤RV
 =⇒v = g(x),
and g is real analytic on the retained ball.
Proof. DYx(v) = H(0, 0)−1{H(0, 0)−H(x, v)} has norm at most J ·RV CD2 ≤1/4 by (US2), (US5)
and (US6). Integrating the mixed Hessian in the retained variable gives ∥S(x, 0)∥≤CD∥x∥, so
∥Yx(0)∥≤JCD RX ≤RV /4 and ∥Yx(v)∥≤RV /4 + RV /4. The iteration is Cauchy and its limit is
the unique fixed point; since H(0, 0) is invertible, a fixed point is exactly a zero of S(x, ·). At each
graph point the vertical Hessian is invertible (gap m/2), so the analytic implicit function theorem
gives a local analytic branch; continuity keeps it in the vertical ball and uniqueness identifies it
with g. The local identifications cover the ball.
The next statement is not in the supplied text. It is the quantitative form of the method’s
requirement that an eliminated auxiliary variable be recoverable from the retained residual, and it
follows from the estimates (US1)–(US6) alone.
Theorem 14.5 (The residual recovers the vertical discrepancy). For (x, v) ∈Kst put w = v −g(x).
Then
∥w∥2 ≤2
m∥S(x, v)∥2,
∥w∥∞≤4
mKc(b) ∥S(x, v)∥∞≤J∥S(x, v)∥∞.
In particular S(x, v) = 0 if and only if (x, v) = ιst(x), and the effective cost feff= f ◦ιst satisfies
Dxfeff(x) = Dxf(x, g(x)).
Proof. Since S(x, g(x)) = 0, S(x, v) =  ̄Hw with  ̄H =
R 1
0 H(x, g(x) + tw) dt. Every point of the
segment lies in the ball of radius RV ≤RH, so each integrand and hence  ̄H has counting gap
at least m/2, and ⟨w, S(x, v)⟩≥(m/2)∥w∥2
2; Cauchy–Schwarz gives the first bound. The entries
of  ̄H obey the second-derivative scatter bound Ce−a dist, so Lemma 14.3 with M = m/2 gives
∥ ̄H−1∥∞→∞≤(4/m)Kc(b), the second bound. The chain rule gives Dxfeff= Dxf + Dvf · Dg and
the last term vanishes on the graph.
Thus nothing about the vertical position is lost so long as the residual is kept: the discrepancy
is controlled by, and vanishes exactly with, the recorded residual, with period-free constants. What
the stationary restriction does discard is the off-shell vertical dependence of f; the lift keeps it in Kst
and uses the restriction only where the supplied construction integrates on or expands about the
graph. Relative to the frame realization, the coordinates (x, v) are components in the fixed source
color basis of logarithmic link variables on the identity-frame section. A frame change conjugates
each color vector by an orthogonal map: Euclidean color norms, the counting gap (US1) and the
150

exponential weights are unchanged, whereas the real-coordinate maximum box is carried to its
rotated image. The corridor is therefore transported as a set, with the bounds ∥paint ∥≤1+dim g,
∥paint−1 ∥≤1 relating the two norms; it is not asserted to be the same coordinate box in a rotated
basis. The status of Theorems 14.4 and 14.5 is on-shell recovery with an explicit off-shell defect
bound, on the branch selected by the corridor. The uniqueness clause of Theorem 14.4 is what
makes the branch a single-valued section rather than a choice.
14.2
The Fourier normalization and the kinetic readout
The two-field determinant film has an internal momentum and two opposite external momenta. Its
internal average is normalized Haar average, namely stock F =
R
[−π,π]4 F(k)d4k/(2π)4; its finite-
period average is shopn F = n−4 P
k F(2πk/n). The curvature picture called profitable F is one
half of the internal average with the two external link and color indices in their specified order. The
factor one half is the quadratic Taylor factorial. Translation invariance makes the actual Hessian
entry zero unless its two Fourier momenta sum to zero, and otherwise that entry is the site count
times the finite-period average of the film.
To compare the two averages, expand the internal variable in its absolutely convergent Laurent
series.
Finite averaging retains exactly the coefficients whose four indices are divisible by the
period; Haar averaging retains only the zero coefficient. Every remaining index has length at least
the period. Spending half the common strip for summation and a quarter for the tail gives a fixed
strip price times e−σn/4. Multiplication by the site count gives the recorded-Hessian error. Thus this
internal integral represents the finite Hessian with a quantitative error and a fixed normalization.
Compose that picture with the momentum chart for real initial links.
The readout
leapTip(P)(e0, 1, (a, a)) is the divided coefficient D2P(1,a),(1,a)(0)[e0, e0]/2!.
Reality makes this
diagonal coefficient real.
Color invariance and simplicity make its color bilinear form a scalar
multiple of the fixed invariant form, so its value is independent of the normalized color. The factor
two in (DP1) is additional to the factor one half in the internal film average; both are retained in
that definition.
Here is why this one transverse entry determines the leading kinetic tensor. Subtract its multiple
of the normalized Wilson tensor, whose readout is one.
Gauge invariance gives transversality.
Signed covariance includes the phases from reversing initial links; at the first nonzero homogeneous
order those phases have constant term one. The constant and linear homogeneous terms vanish by
transversality and permutation covariance. Let Quv(p, q) be the symmetric polarized degree-two
term of the difference.
Reflecting one axis shows that a component can survive only when its
momentum occurrences and link occurrences have the same parity on every axis. Permuting axes
moves the zero transverse diagonal readout to all transverse diagonal entries on single momentum
axes. Longitudinal entries vanish by transversality. Reflection parity then kills mixed momentum
entries in a diagonal link component and same momentum entries in an off-diagonal link component.
The only remaining possibility has its two distinct momentum axes equal to its two link axes.
Transversality at the sum of those two coordinate vectors makes twice that entry zero, since the
diagonal entries have already vanished. Bilinearity gives Q = 0. The degree-three term vanishes
under total inversion, whose momentum sign is odd and whose two link signs multiply to one. The
difference thus starts at degree four. This proves the one-axis kinetic identification used below,
including the Taylor normalization and reflected-edge convention.
Source–readout formulation.
Two readouts are compared here, and each has an explicit fibre.
The first is the pair of internal averages: shopn reads a periodic analytic film on the finite dual

torus, stock reads its Haar average. They are two different readouts of the same film, and their
difference is a recorded discrepancy, not an identification:
Proposition 14.6 (Aliasing readout). Let F be periodic and analytic with sup |F| ≤A on the strip
of width σ. Then
shopn F =
X
x∈nZ4
bF(x),
stock F = bF(0),
| shopn F −stock F| ≤A c(σ) e−σn/4,
with a strip price c(σ) independent of n.
Proof. The Laurent series converges absolutely, and the finite average of eik·x over the period-n
mesh is one if every component of x is divisible by n and zero otherwise. Shifting contours gives
| bF(x)| ≤Ae−σ|x|1. Every surviving nonzero index has |x|1 ≥n; write e−σ|x|1 ≤e−σn/4e−(σ/2)|x|1 ·
e−(σ/4)(|x|1−n) and sum the middle factor over Z4, giving c(σ) = [(1 + e−σ/2)/(1 −e−σ/2)]4.
The exactness class is controlled approximation in the period n at fixed strip width, with the
normalization (the factor one half of the quadratic Taylor factorial and the site count) retained on
both sides. The second readout is leapTip, which reads a single transverse diagonal coefficient of
a two-leg tensor. On arbitrary tensors its fibre is large; on the class of tensors that actually occurs
it is as small as the kinetic identification requires:
Proposition 14.7 (One transverse entry determines the kinetic tensor). Let T be a gauge-invariant,
signed-covariant analytic two-leg tensor whose leapTip readout vanishes. Then its homogeneous
parts of degree at most three vanish; T starts at degree four.
Proof. Gauge invariance gives transversality, and signed covariance includes the phases from revers-
ing initial links, which have constant term one at the first nonzero homogeneous order. Constant
and linear terms vanish by transversality and permutation covariance. Let Quv(p, q) be the symmet-
ric polarized degree-two term. Reflecting one axis, a component can survive only if its momentum
occurrences and link occurrences have the same parity on every axis. Axis permutations carry
the vanishing transverse diagonal readout to all transverse diagonal entries on single momentum
axes; longitudinal entries vanish by transversality. Reflection parity then kills mixed momentum
entries in a diagonal link component and equal momentum entries in an off-diagonal one. The only
remaining entry has its two distinct momentum axes equal to its two link axes, and transversality
at the sum of those two coordinate vectors makes twice that entry zero, the diagonal entries having
vanished. Bilinearity gives Q = 0. The degree-three term is odd under total inversion, whose two
link signs multiply to one, so it vanishes.
Equivalently,
on
gauge-invariant
signed-covariant
analytic
two-leg
tensors
the
map
T 7→leapTip(T) is injective modulo terms of degree at least four, and the normalized Wil-
son tensor is a section of it. Gauge invariance and signed covariance are properties of the target
tensors; in the frame realization the tensors are those of the readout composed with π, their
Taylor coefficients at a flat raw configuration are taken with the raw directions conjugated into
the stored frame (Theorem 9.2), and the invariant color form is unchanged by that conjugation, so
the readout and its normalization are fibre constants.

Analytic exterior division with the origin jets retained
We give the analytic division used in issuing the loop coefficients. For one momentum coordinate
set qi(p) = eipi −1. If x is a Laurent index, define

(Pxi−1
a=0 eip·(x[i:=a]),
xi ≥0,
−P−xi−1

The empty sum is zero. Multiplication and telescoping give the entire identity
qiLi,x = eip·x −eip[i:=0]·x.
(ED1)
If F is periodic analytic and bounded by A on a strip of width σ, its Fourier coefficient bound on
an intermediate strip makes G(p) = P
x bF(x)Li,x(p) absolutely and locally uniformly convergent
on width σ/4. Indeed the finite sum has at most |x| terms and size at most |x|e(σ/4)|x|; the spare
width absorbs |x|. Summing the geometric coefficient bounds in each momentum coordinate gives

where v is the number of momentum coordinates. Thus qiG = F −F|pi=0, including at every zero
of qi; no singular quotient is defined on a mesh. If the numerator has zero jets below order s + 1,
comparison of its analytic Taylor series with qi = ipi + O(p2
i ) gives zero jets of G below order
s. Equivalently evaluate on nearby directions with nonzero i-component, divide their one-variable
series, and extend the resulting polynomial-jet identity to all directions by continuity.
For exterior coefficients let C be contraction by the vector q, and Ii exterior multiplication by
the i-th coordinate vector with its orientation sign. The coordinate anticommutation rule gives
CIi + IiC = qi id. Apply (ED1) componentwise to a cycle u, and call the divided difference Diu.
Substituting in this anticommutation rule shows that
CIiDiu = u −combi u,
where combi u evaluates at pi = 0 and deletes every exterior component containing i. The identity
is first algebraic where qi ̸= 0, and extends to the zeros by analyticity. The residual is again a
cycle. Indeed, after separating components containing i, its contraction at momentum p equals its
contraction with the i-th symbol set to zero, since every i-containing component has been removed;
the original cycle equation at pi = 0 supplies the remaining equations. Evaluation and deletion
preserve the original strip, coefficient bound and Taylor vanishing order.
Repeat on the residuals in the four axis directions, adding the four lifted differences. Every
residual still has the original width σ, price A, and order s. Each new lift is therefore computed
directly at width σ/4, price at most A times (ED2), and order at least s −1. There is no iteration
of four strip shrinkages or four losses of Taylor order. Summing gives width σ/4, price four times
(ED2), and order s −1. The contraction of this sum telescopes to the original cycle minus the
final residual. In positive exterior degree the latter is zero because every orientation contains a
processed axis. In degree zero it is the original coefficient with all coordinates of this block set to
zero; the required hypothesis is its vanishing on that entire coordinate plane. Positive order at the
full origin implies this hypothesis only when this is the sole momentum block. This is why the
exact harmonic-set check in (TEL2) is needed.
Suppose additionally that each coefficient vector lies in a prescribed linear subspace depending
only on the other momentum blocks. Evaluation in a divided coordinate preserves that subspace.

The divided Fourier sum also does so: where qi ̸= 0 it is the scalar multiple (u −u|pi=0)/qi, and
at its zeros continuity and closedness of the finite-dimensional subspace give the same conclusion.
Exterior multiplication is a signed selection of these coefficient vectors. Hence every residual and
lift retains the other block constraints. For a dependent momentum equal to minus the sum of the
independent ones, the linear shear exchanging that block with the dependent block is involutive. If
there are t + 1 independent blocks, its missing coordinate is the negative sum of their coordinates.
A strip of width σ/(t+2) is mapped inside width σ, since (t+1)σ/(t+2) < σ. Apply the preceding
coordinate construction on that narrowed strip and shear back with the same narrowing factor.
This gives the dependent-block width and price used in (TEL3).
Source–readout formulation.
Division is a section of contraction, and this is the form in which
the loop coefficients are issued: a cycle u is the readout, a primitive is a source datum over it, and
the choice of primitive is the fibre. Write
Div u =

X

IiDi
 combi−1 · · · comb1 u

for the sum of the four lifted differences constructed above, so that the telescoping identity of the
derivation reads C Div u = u −comb4 · · · comb1 u.
For completeness we verify the single-axis identity CIiDiu = u−combi u and the cycle property
of the residual in one computation. Write ιi for the interior product with the i-th coordinate vector
and C0 for contraction with the symbol whose i-th entry is set to zero, so that C = C0 + qiιi.
Scalar division commutes with C, hence, using Cu = 0, qi CDiu = Cu−C(u|pi=0) = −C0(u|pi=0)−
qiιi(u|pi=0), and C0(u|pi=0) = (Cu)|pi=0 = 0; therefore CDiu = −ιi(u|pi=0), first where qi ̸= 0 and
then everywhere by analyticity. Consequently
CIiDiu = qiDiu −IiCDiu = u −u|pi=0 + Iiιi(u|pi=0),
and Iiιi is the projection onto the components containing i, which gives u −combi u. Applying C
to this identity and using C2 = 0 gives C combi u = Cu = 0, so the residual is again a cycle.
Proposition 14.8 (Division as a section of contraction). On analytic cycles of positive exterior
degree (and on degree-zero coefficients vanishing on the block’s coordinate plane), C ◦Div = id. The
fibre of C over u is Div u + ker C, and two primitives of the same u differ by a C-cycle of one
higher degree. Div preserves the block constraints, loses one Taylor order and three quarters of the
strip, and is bounded by four times (ED2).
Proof. The identity and the bounds were derived above; the description of the fibre is linearity of
C.
The origin jets are retained on both sides: the proposition records the loss of exactly one Taylor
order and of three quarters of the strip, and the degree-zero hypothesis is kept as a hypothesis (it
is the reason for the exact harmonic-set check in (TEL2)). No singular quotient on a mesh is ever
part of the realized record; where qi vanishes the primitive is defined by the entire identity (ED1).

The loop calculation reads local quadratic
response from the same stationary integration used in the forward blocking step.
Its internal

The calculation supplies a drift estimate for the actual action coefficient; it does not declare that
coefficient equal to a chosen reference line. Summing the drift will require the common calendar
constructed next. Thus the coefficient and its controlled remainder, rather than only the formal
logarithm, are the output consumed by calibration and uniform running.
Here is the precise two-leg use of the exterior division. There is one independent four-momentum
p; the other is −p. Write Er = ΛrC4, with its ordered plane basis, and let Cr
−: Er+1 →Er be
contraction by the lattice symbol at −p. Thus Cr
−Cr+1
−
= 0. A coefficient with one remaining
potential index belongs to Er ⊗E1; one with no such index belongs to Er. These are coefficient-
valued periodic analytic functions of the same complexified momentum. Let H : Er ⊗E1 →Er
contract the second index by the symbol at p. Since these maps act on different tensor slots,
HCr
−= Cr
−H.
(TEL1)
There is no exterior sign in this convention. A coefficient has order a if all its real Taylor coefficients
of total degree below a at zero vanish. Each contraction increases this order by one.
The given two-potential tensor is u ∈E1 ⊗E1, of order s+2, satisfying both gauge contractions
C0
−u = 0 and Hu = 0. Apply the dependent-block division to obtain
X ∈E2 ⊗E1,
C1
−X = u,
ord X ≥s + 1.
The coefficient HX ∈E2 has order at least s+2, and is a dependent cycle because C1
−HX = Hu = 0.
A second dependent-block division gives
Y ∈E3,
C2
−Y = HX,
ord Y ≥s + 1.
Next lift the independent contraction: choose D ∈E3 ⊗E1 with HD = Y and order at least s. The
degree-zero obstruction for this last division must be checked on its actual harmonic set. There
is just one independent momentum block, so that set is exactly p = 0, rather than an unspecified
collision locus. Since s + 1 ≥1, every coefficient of Y vanishes there. This proves the required
obstruction is zero. In the general many-leg construction the other independent contractions de-
fine coefficient subspaces that remain constant when this block varies; the coordinate homotopy
preserves them. For two legs there are no other independent indices, so this preservation condition
is vacuous.
Now put
V = X −C2
−D ∈E2 ⊗E1.
(TEL2)
It still has order at least s + 1. Its represented tensor is unchanged, since C1
−V = u −C1
−C2
−D = u.
Its remaining contraction is removed, since HV = HX −C2
−HD = HX −C2
−Y = 0. Apply the
independent-block division separately to the six E2 coefficients of V . This gives g ∈E2 ⊗E2, of
order at least s, whose two curl contractions equal u. All identities hold at zero momentum as
analytic identities, as well as at nonzero real momentum.
For clarity the width and norm losses can also be followed without any existence convention.

Here Tm is four times the coordinate-division price in (ED2); Br bounds the finite sum defining a

τ = E(σ),
w = E(τ),
μ = w/16,
b = P(σ),

The bounds for X, HX, Y, D are respectively Ab, Ac, Ad, Ae; their widths are τ, τ, w, w/4. Restrict-
ing to μ, the bound for V is
A{b + eB2(w/8)}.
(TEL3)
For the final independent division there is exactly one remaining leg. Apply the coordinate-wall
lift (ED1)–(ED2) with the four independent coordinates to each E2 component of V . The other
coefficient indices are passive, so taking the maximum of their coefficient bounds introduces no
extra factor six. The construction gives explicitly
η = μ/4,
∥g∥η ≤A{b + eB2(w/8)}T4(μ),
ord g ≥s.
(TEL4)
To see the contraction identity componentwise, denote the lift of the independent index by
Wa(b, p), where a is the dependent two-form index and b the independent two-form index. Then
P
b symbol1(p)b,iWa(b, p) = Va,i(p). Contracting this equality with symbol1(−p)a,h and summing
over a gives uh,i by (TEL2).
This is precisely the two-curl representation, with no omitted
polarization or identification of the two momentum slots. More generally repeated independent
divisions obey the recursion η0(σ) = σ, K0 = 1, ηt+1(σ) = ηt(σ/4), Kt+1(σ) = Tm(σ)Kt(σ/4),
where m is the ambient coordinate count.
Each step preserves the contractions in the other
independent blocks because their symbols do not vary with the divided block. For this application
only t = 1, m = 4 is needed. These prices depend on the input strip, not on the torus period or on
s. The tensor spaces, the harmonic-set check and the two identities in (TEL2) give the two-leg
construction used in both loop-moment applications below.
Source–readout formulation.
The source object is the two-curvature coefficient g ∈E2 ⊗E2;
the readout is the double curl Curl2(g)h,i = P
a,b symbol1(−p)a,h symbol1(p)b,i ga,b, valued in doubly
transverse two-potential tensors.
Theorem 14.9 constructs a section s2 with Curl2 ◦s2 = id on
analytic doubly transverse tensors of order at least two, bounded by (TEL4) and lowering the
order by two.
The readout is not injective: its kernel contains C2
−(·) in the first slot and the
analogous image in the second.
The correction −C2
−D in (TEL2) is precisely a motion inside
that kernel fibre, chosen to make the intermediate primitive transverse in the remaining slot. The
realized history stores (X, Y, D, V, g); the readout recovers u and nothing more.
Theorem 14.9 (Two-curl primitive). There exists g ∈E2 ⊗E2 of order at least s whose two curl
contractions equal u, constructed as follows.
1. Dependent-block division gives X ∈E2 ⊗E1 with C1
−X = u, ord X ≥s + 1.
2. HX ∈E2 has order at least s+2 and C1
−HX = HC1
−X = Hu = 0; a second dependent-block
division gives Y ∈E3 with C2
−Y = HX, ord Y ≥s + 1.
3. Independent division gives D ∈E3 ⊗E1 with HD = Y and order at least s; its degree-zero
obstruction lives on the harmonic set, which for a single independent block is exactly p = 0,
where every coefficient of Y vanishes since s + 1 ≥1.
4. Put
V = X −C2
−D ∈E2 ⊗E1.
Then ord V ≥s + 1, C1
−V = u −C1
−C2
−D = u and HV = HX −C2
−HD = HX −C2
−Y = 0.
5. Independent-block division of the six E2 coefficients of V gives g.
All identities hold as analytic identities at zero momentum as well as at nonzero real momentum.

Proof. Each step is an application of Proposition 14.8 together with (TEL1); the cycle con-
ditions needed for each division are the displayed ones.
For (5), let Wa(b, p) denote the lift
of the independent index, a the dependent and b the independent two-form index.
Then
P
b symbol1(p)b,iWa(b, p) = Va,i(p), and contracting with symbol1(−p)a,h and summing over a gives
uh,i by (TEL2). No polarization is omitted and the two momentum slots are not identified. In the
many-leg construction the other independent contractions define coefficient subspaces constant
in the divided block, which the coordinate homotopy preserves; for two legs that condition is
vacuous.
14.5
Production of the fresh loop moments
The moment normalization of the fresh determinant loop is obtained before its path representation
is issued. Let f be the common analytic two-field picture of the determinant and Haar term, R the
normalized coarse metric row with R(0) = 1, and g the inherited-loop picture. The latter vanishes
to order four in real external momentum. Set α equal to the kinetic readout of f and subtract
α times the normalized metric picture. The one-axis identification proved above shows that this
difference, and therefore
h = f −α slots(R) + g,
vanishes to order four. It retains its two gauge-contraction identities, reality and color invariance.
Its analytic norm is bounded by A+|α| bedCharge(σ, M)+B, where A, B bound f, g and M bounds
the metric row. Thus this normalization does not discard the inherited loop price.
Apply (TEL1)–(TEL3) with s = 2: the input has zero jets below order four, and its two-
curvature coefficient has zero jets below order two. In particular the second-contraction correction
uses the harmonic set p = 0 checked there; the coefficient norm and positive strip width have the
period-independent prices in (TEL3).
Write the resulting coefficients, for fixed plaquette and color types, as a real Laurent family
P(z). Taking real parts replaces an analytic coefficient on real momenta by the average of it and its
conjugate at opposite momentum. This preserves the represented real tensor and its vanishing order.
Project its finite color coefficient vector onto invariant tensors; this is a fixed real linear projection,
of finite absolute matrix-sum price, which leaves the already invariant represented tensor unchanged.
It commutes with reading the absolutely convergent Laurent series and with its derivatives. Thus
bP(p) =
X
z∈Z4
P(z)eip·z,
bP(0) = 0,
D bP(0) = 0,
X
z
|P(z)|eη|z| < ∞
(LM0)
for a fixed positive output width η.
Exponential summability also gives P |ziP(z)| < ∞, by spending part of η. The series may
therefore be differentiated on the real momentum axes. Its value and first derivative at zero are
P P(z) and i P ziP(z). Equation (LM0) proves both sums zero, separately for each plaquette and
color choice. The actual path issue enumerates these types and offsets. Its first leg is based at
zero, its second at z, and each leg includes the four plaquette edges. Its length is |z| + 8, so the
path price differs from the Laurent price only by the fixed factor e8η and the finite type and color
counts. The displacement in the moment is exactly z. Reindexing by this enumeration proves the
summable zeroth and first unwrapped displacement moments of the issued atoms. These are the
fresh-loop identities needed in the next subsection and in (TF17)–(TF19).
Source–readout formulation.
The fresh loop is produced by composing three maps whose
source–readout roles are different. (a) The kinetic readout α of the two-field picture is subtracted;
157


## Source page 161

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

by Proposition 14.7 the remainder lies in the fibre of that readout over zero and therefore starts
at degree four. (b) The two-curl section of Theorem 14.9 is applied to the remainder with s = 2;
this chooses one primitive in the kernel fibre of the double curl, with the bound (TEL4).
(c)
The real part and the invariant-color projection are applied; both are fixed real linear maps of
finite price which fix the already real, invariant represented tensor and commute with the Laurent
series, so they move the coefficient only inside the fibre of the represented tensor.
The issued
path atoms are then a relabelling of the Laurent family: first leg at zero, second at z, length
|z| + 8, displacement exactly z. The two vanishing statements of (LM0) are thus statements about
the chosen source coefficient, not about the represented tensor alone, and they are the input of
Proposition 14.10 below. The normalization step does not discard the inherited loop price: the
norm bound A + |α| bedCharge(σ, M) + B keeps all three contributions.
14.6
Production and transport of the inherited loop moments
The full-family identities (TF17)–(TF19) require absolute summation before truncation. We give
the construction that transports these identities across a block. For a two-curvature atom a, let qa
be its coefficient with its plaquette and color types fixed, and let δa ∈Z4 be the displacement from
its first leg to its second. Its length bounds |δa|. A charged exponential bound implies
X
a
|qa| < ∞,
X
a
|qaδi
a| < ∞,
(LM1)
because s ≤Cηeηs. Thus all changes of summation below are absolute, including those with a
displacement factor.
For one atom translate its first leg to the origin in the finite torus sum. Along a fixed route
from zero to δa, telescope the second leg. Subtract its value and its first differences at the origin.
The remaining discrete second-order Taylor difference can be written as a finite sum of products
of differences, one on each curvature factor, by summation by parts along successive route edges.
Explicitly the removed terms are
qa
X
x
Fa(x)Ga(x),
qaδi
a
X
x
Fa(x)∇iGa(x).
(LM2)
The discrete Taylor identity is exact on the torus: each link telescope is a translated finite difference
and the sum of a translated product can be shifted by the same lattice translation. Repeating this
along the two route indices generates at most the square of the route length in remainder terms.
The exponential budget absorbs this square after any fixed positive width discount. If the full
family has zero zeroth and first displacement moments, summing (LM2) gives zero separately for
each type and color.
Its total action therefore equals the sum of the two-difference remainder
patterns. This proves the representation used to inherit a quiet loop; the subtraction is performed
on the whole summable family, not on an arbitrary finite prefix.
Let ψi(r, b; z) be the installed fine-gradient column for a coarse residue r, curvature type b,
direction i, and unwrapped displacement z.
These columns are the product of the fine frame
inverse, the differentiated linear tower, and the coarse frame. Whenever the stationary-column
construction uses two curvature legs, its dependent-momentum join is precisely (TEL1)–(TEL3),
with the retained Taylor orders stated there. On harmonic input the unmodified tower has residue-
independent total columns. Install it on a one-site coarse torus. Its output is then constant on
the fine torus; a fine difference of that output is zero.
The intertwining identity between the
differentiated column and the fine difference consequently gives
X
z
ψi(r, b; z) = 0.
(LM3)
158


## Source page 162

The frame factors preserve the constant-output statement by their translation convolution identities.
Odd blocking is the hypothesis that makes this centered-gradient readout agree with the installed
fine difference. Exponential column bounds justify passing from the installed periodic identity to
the absolutely summed cover columns.
After substituting these columns in a two-difference pattern, one fixed choice of its two out-
put types has coefficient uf0(z0)f1(z1), where P f0 = P f1 = 0 by (LM3).
Its zeroth total is
u(P f0)(P f1) = 0. Its displacement is (c1 + z1) −(c0 + z0), with fixed carried offsets c0, c1. Split-
ting its first moment gives

= 0.
(LM4)
The absolute first moments exist by the column width bounds. Summing over residues, types and
patterns is justified by (LM1) and the charged bound on the full substituted family. Thus inherited
loops have the exact two moment identities, with their block price L−2, rather than merely small
moments.
Joining two families means enumerating their disjoint union. Absolute sums add, so both mo-
ment identities are preserved. Blank initial loops have zero coefficients and satisfy them. The
coefficientwise limiting argument (SH1)–(SH3) preserves them as well: first pay the common ex-
ponentially weighted tail, then pass to the limit on a finite list.
This supplies the full-family
justification used to turn retained moments into omitted-tail moments in (TF18). Any fresh loop
must satisfy the same identities before it is joined; they cannot be inferred from gauge invariance
or the quadratic-potential normalization alone.
Source–readout formulation.
The zeroth and first unwrapped displacement moments define
a readout of an atom family which forgets everything except five numbers per plaquette and color
type. Write A 7→A′ for the block transport of the derivation above: A′ is the family obtained by
substituting the installed columns ψi into the two-difference patterns of A.
Proposition 14.10 (The moment readout and the quiet fibre). On the additive monoid of ab-
solutely summable two-curvature atom families with charged exponential bounds (disjoint union as
addition), define for each plaquette and color type
m(A) =
X
a
qa,
X
a
qaδa

∈R × R4.
Then m is additive, the quiet families m−1(0) are closed under joining, under the block transport
A 7→A′ of (LM1)–(LM4) (indeed m(A′) = 0 for every transported two-difference family), and
under the coefficientwise limits (SH1)–(SH3). Blank initial loops are quiet. A fresh loop is quiet
by (LM0), and quietness cannot be deduced from gauge invariance or the quadratic normalization
alone.
Proof. Additivity is additivity of absolute sums over a disjoint union. Transport is (LM3)–(LM4).
For limits one first pays the common exponentially weighted tail and then passes to the limit on
a finite list.
The last sentence records that (LM0) used the order four vanishing produced by
subtracting the kinetic readout, which is additional to transversality.
The moment readout is many-to-one. The construction never inverts it; it only proves that every
family it produces lies in the fibre over zero, and that this fibre is stable under the three operations
applied to atom families (joining, block transport, coefficientwise limits).
That stability is the
operation-compatibility statement required for the later use in (TF17)–(TF19), where retained
moments are converted into omitted-tail moments.

The one-loop drift used by the finite histories
The finite coupling drift comes from the committed path coefficient and the bounded scalar reset,
not directly from a formal beta function. At a transition with block length L, put μ = L−1. The
determinant calculation on the retained physical path defines a coefficient αN,i with sign appropriate
to descent from level i + 1 to i. We explain the logarithm and its uniform remainder.
For a fixed color direction, the continuum pole of the relevant second external-momentum
coefficient is

The coefficient includes the vector determinant with weight 1/2 and the gauge determinant with
weight −1. These are the same two determinant weights kept in the massive-symbol calculation of
the trace. The finite symbol coefficient fμ(k), on the angular cube [−π, π]4, satisfies
|fμ(k)| ≤
A
(|k| + μ)4 ,
|fμ(k) −pG(k)| ≤D
|k|3 + Dμ2
|k|6
(|k| ≥μ),
(DR2)
where A, D ≥0 depend on the fixed analytic widths, coefficient and ellipticity bounds, and not on
L, the torus period or its terminal cutoff. The input paths have their fixed quadratic normalization
and the allowed higher soft jets; the latter preserve the continuum pole.
Here is the matrix estimate yielding (DR2). At scale T = |k| + μ, the zero-field massive matrix,
one-field vertex, and two-field vertex have sizes T 2, T, 1. Coercivity bounds the inverse by CT −2.
Differentiate the identity AA−1 = 1 to obtain D(A−1) = −A−1(DA)A−1 and its second derivative,
the sum of the two products with two first vertices minus the product with one second vertex.
Along a momentum direction scaled by T, all jets of each inverse still have size T −2. The lower
determinant bubble therefore has size T −2, and its second unscaled external-momentum coefficient
has size T −4. The upper insertion obeys the same rough bound. Summing the finitely many matrix
entries gives the first bound in (DR2).
For |k| ≥μ, take T = |k|. The zero-field symbol differs from its continuum quadratic part
by O(T 3 + μ2), and the first vertex differs from its continuum linear part by O(T 2 + μ2/T). Use
A−1−B−1 = A−1(B−A)B−1 and telescope the factors of the determinant bubbles. Their relative er-
ror has size T +μ2/T 2; their second momentum coefficient consequently has error C(T +μ2/T 2)T −4,
which is the second bound in (DR2). The upper insertion contributes bounds of these same or
smaller orders. The origin-jet cancellations, analytic derivative bounds, inverse formulas and ex-
plicit continuum vertex contraction are developed in the weighted massive-symbol and logarithmic
momentum calculations below. This argument uses them before integration, so its error bound is
absolute.
To integrate, split the angular cube into |k| ≤μ, μ < |k| ≤1, and its part outside the unit ball.

For the mixed fourth moment, symmetry makes all off-diagonal moments equal. Expanding the
fourth powers of k0 + k1 and k0 −k1, and rotating these directions to a coordinate direction, shows
that the diagonal fourth moment is three times the mixed one. Summing over the four coordinates
then gives the factor 1/24. Substitution of (DR4) into (DR1), with Fourier weight (2π)−4, gives

(DR5)
Equations (DR2)–(DR5) bound the difference between the infinite-volume coefficient and this log-
arithm by a pre-block constant.
We now connect this integral to the coefficient of the actual stationary path. It is important to
distinguish three determinant films: Mact, the film of the actual stationary integration; Mcore, its
core film before the stationary carrier change; and Mrank, the auxiliary rank film. Each film is a
matrix of analytic functions of the external momentum, with indices consisting of a direction and
a color. Their scalar reading is
αa(M) = 2 Re leapTip(profitable M)(e0, 1, (a, a)).
(DP1)
The operation leapTip is the coefficient of degree two in that external-momentum direction, with
its Taylor factorial; profitable passes from the determinant film to its curvature tensor using its
analytic contraction identities. Thus αa is linear on films satisfying the common bounds, and is
the specific normalized kinetic coefficient, not the full film norm.
Here are the quantitative comparisons used in the transition. Fix an analytic width h > 0,
with h ≤σ ≤1/128, a block patch of stage J, its penalty k, a positive stationary width, and all
the common metric, covariance and path bounds. The required hypotheses are: the input path is
attached to its quadratic metric and has its prescribed analytic bounds; that metric has the uniform
floor on every torus; the coarse metric has its analytic strip bound; the stationary graph is critical,
guessed by the installed tower, and satisfies the gap and heat identities; the same forest and tag are
used in its determinant realization; and the relevant torus sides form an auxiliary sequence tending
to infinity. These are precisely the linear-horizon and stationary-graph data already constructed.
The input loop-tensor norm may have its own bound Λ, whereas the comparison constants below
depend only on the fixed analytic and matrix bounds specified before the block length. They do
not grow with Λ.
Let F ≥0 bound the inverse matrices in the determinant calculation, let M∗≥0 bound the
common zero-, one- and two-field film factors, and let K∗≥0 bound their carrier difference. All
three are obtained from the fixed stage, kernel, penalty and common analytic bounds before L is
chosen. More explicitly the common factor bound is the sum of the absolute bounds for the leg,
core, rank and frozen metric factors; the carrier bound is the common bound for the difference
between the core and rank factors. Put
D∗= FK∗F, E∗
= D∗M∗+ FK∗, R∗= E∗+ (E∗F + FM∗D∗)M∗+ FM∗FK∗.
(DP2)
This is the source’s exact reserve polynomial. It arises by subtracting inverse factors with A−1 −
B−1 = A−1(B −A)B−1, then telescoping the zero-, one- and two-field determinant products. For

example the first inverse difference costs D∗; multiplying by the common first factor and adding
the factor difference costs E∗; the remaining two placements and their cross product give the last
line. The trace estimate is a relative rank estimate, so this subtraction introduces no count of all
L4 block sites.
In detail, if r = | Loc0 | + | Loc1 |, the individual films are bounded on width h/2 by
L4 2r(FM∗+ FM∗FM∗).
(DP3)
The separate difference estimate is
Mcore −Mrank
bounded on width h/2 by R∗.
(DP4)
Here is why (DP4) has no block-volume factor.
The matrix weights are invertible analytic
frames SX(p), SY (q).
A bound for a matrix U means a Euclidean operator-norm bound for
eU = SX(p)−1USY (q). For the difference estimates the stronger bound is used:
| tr( eUV )| ≤C∥V ∥2→2
for every compatible V.
(DP10)
It is subadditive, is invariant under transposition with dual frames, and multiplies with an ordinary
operator bound on either side. At equal source and target frames, taking V = 1 bounds the actual
trace by C. A general matrix with operator norm C only has price dim(X)C in (DP10); using that
conversion would incur the unwanted L4.
The exact difference between the core and rank quadratic films cancels their common sector and
pure Gram terms. Write S for the shear row, T for its localized emitter correction, and B for the
fixed block inclusion. Expanding (S +T)∗(S +T)−S∗S = T ∗(S +T)+S∗T gives its reflection part.
The complete remaining difference is the sum of the local house film and this reflection part, minus
B∗OB and the finite motive film; O is the localized orbit correction. This identity holds separately
for the zero-, one- and two-field matrices, with all their Leibniz placements. The common sector
cancels before any trace is bounded.
We derive the uniform trace-ideal estimates before using them in the difference. For a finite
matrix U, set
∥U∥tr,∗=
sup
∥V ∥2→2≤1
| tr(UV )|.
For U = uv∗, the trace is v∗V u, so its size is at most ∥u∥∥v∥. Decomposition into columns bounds
the size by the sum of their norms. A matrix with a fixed n0-dimensional source consequently has
price n0∥U∥2→2. Multiplication on either side by a bounded matrix multiplies this price by its
operator norm, by trace cyclicity. Apply these statements after the analytic changes of frame in
(DP10).
One further factor has a source dimension growing with L, and needs an actual summability
argument. Put μ = L−1, let ω be the lattice Laplacian symbol, and define

At l = 0 this is the origin massive bound. At l ̸= 0, centered alias separation bounds the symbol
scale below by (1 + pdist(l))μ; strip ellipticity bounds the denominator below by half the square of
that scale. Division gives the inequality. Changing the centered representative permutes the aliases.
There are at most (2n + 1)4 aliases at distance n, because their lifts inject into [−n, n]4. Therefore

The alias-diagonal matrix d3
μI has trace-ideal price 8n0J, with fixed n0 = | Loc0 |. The Fourier
frame and inverse frame each cost at most e4/128, leaving the block-independent price
Q = e4/128(8n0J)e4/128.
This origin estimate controls the zero-, one- and two-field matrices of the regularizing ninth
power. Write P = μ2(A+μ2I)−1, where A is the sector Gram matrix, and U = P 3. The preceding
estimate applies to U at zero field. If C3 bounds its three ordinary film matrices, the corresponding
three matrices of U3 have trace-ideal price at most 20C2
3Q. In fact every zero-field product has
an unmarked U, every first-field product has two, and every second-field product has at least one.
Put one unmarked factor in the trace ideal and the other two in operator norm. The second-field
Leibniz formula has three placements of a second-field matrix and six ordered placements of two
first-field matrices. Their sum and the lower orders are covered by 20. This never converts an
L4-dimensional bound into a trace bound. The regularizer is μ2P 9, so its price is μ2B, where
B = 20C2
3Q.
We now price each localized composition. We specify how the derivative prices used here are
obtained. If an analytic finite-dimensional map F is evaluated at z, define, for a derivative bound
c ≥0,
Em(F, z, c) =
m
X
n=0
X
π∈Pn
∥D|π|F(z)∥c|π|,
(DP12)
where Pn is the finite set of partitions in the iterated chain rule, with its multiplicities, and P0
contributes the value bound. If an inner map takes the value z at the origin and its derivatives
through order m have the prescribed tested bound c, its composite is bounded by (DP12): differen-
tiate successively, grouping the directions according to the block that enters each derivative of the
inner map, and sum their norm products. The source’s apollo and encore are precisely these finite
sums. For a product use F(u, v) = uv and inner price c1 + c2; inversion of a group matrix is its
adjoint and preserves these derivative bounds. The same construction applies to the matrix expo-
nential at zero, the chosen analytic group logarithm at the identity, and the analytic nearest-group
projection in its fixed neighborhood.
These rules generate the charter and emission prices from the actual stencil. A link perturbation
has its explicit factor L−1. On a length-L path, the product rule chooses the differentiated links. If q
distinct links are differentiated, there are at most Lq choices and their derivative bounds contribute
L−q; all undifferentiated group factors have norm one. The remaining assignments are the finite
partitions of the derivative directions. Thus every fixed derivative order has a common bound
independent of L. Patch averages are probability averages. Moving from the padded patch to its
translated subpatch costs at most its fixed stage-dependent cardinality ratio, since both counts
are bounded multiples of L4. The frame estimates already proved give the corresponding finite
derivative bounds for the recentered gauge transformations. Form the connector by multiplying
the two endpoint frames and the path transport, average it, and apply the nearest-group projection;
(DP12) pays all these operations. Multiply by the coarse-link factors and the endpoint frames, and

apply the logarithm. This constructs the finite positive prices denoted springs for the charter and
rocket_fare for the emission in FrameEst/Stencils. Every logarithm is evaluated at the identity
in this centered calculation. None of these steps takes a supremum over a number of arbitrary
independent site values.
Here is the last conversion into row norms, including its block powers.
Let n ≤2 be the
number of inserted field directions and let c bound their fixed Fourier-frame readings. Put c′ =
muralRoom(J)c, including the fixed stage enlargement of those readings. The scalar directional
estimate for the charter is at most
2n+1| springs(J, n + 1, c′)|;
the corresponding emission estimate, after changing from the patch probability average to the
block-site probability average, is at most
portrait(J)2n+1| rocket_fare(J, n + 1, c′)|.
The factor 2n+1 pays the real-and-imaginary expansions of the n inserted directions and the one
tested input direction. Conversion of the finitely many color coordinates to their Euclidean norm
multiplies these by √n1 and √n0, respectively. For the emission the probability-average estimate
is a sum of squares divided by L4; removing that denominator and taking a square root contributes
exactly L2. Taking the maximum, or the larger finite sum, over n = 0, 1, 2 gives prices a and h
independent of L, with charter price a and emission price L2h. These are RealGap.CharterR.costs
and Chromatic.costs. The same finite derivative and Fourier-frame bounds give the sector price
p; the positive massive inverse and its differentiated inverse identities give the regularizer price
μ2g. The house kernel has fixed dimension and the already constructed inverse bound, giving its
ordinary price b.
Each of a, h, p, g, b thus bounds the zero-, one- and two-field matrices on the same strip. The
house kernel has fixed source dimension n1 = | Loc1 |, so its trace-ideal price is n1b. Film multi-
plication costs at most four times the product, covering its four second-field Leibniz terms. The
house price is consequently
CH = 4(4an1b)a.
Composition of the regularizer with the site-to-color row cancels μ2L2 = 1. Its trace-ideal price is
r = 4Bh and its ordinary price 4gh. The shear row has ordinary price 4p, so the corrected row has
price t = 4p + 4gh. The two reflection products have combined trace-ideal price
CR = 4rt + 4(4p)r.
For the orbit term let si bound the fixed stage row in direction i, and put S(z) = P3
i=0 4(4siz)si.
Its unweighted trace price is μ2S(B). The two changes to the dual massive frames cost at most
e4μ−1 each, yielding
CO = e4S(B)e4.
The motive film factors through the fixed n0-dimensional space, with inclusions of ordinary price
one; its trace-ideal price is 4n0. All widths and derivative orders have been fixed before L, and each
cancellation of a block power has been displayed. These four estimates supply (DP10). Composing
a difference factor with an ordinary bounded factor keeps (DP10). In particular the house film has
price CH; the two reflection products have combined price CR; B∗OB has price 16CO, including
its two film-composition factors; and the motive film has price 4| Loc0 |. Thus one may use exactly
K∗= CH + CR + 16CO + 4| Loc0 |.

Each price here is the absolute weighted column sum of its stated local factor with its zero-, one- and
two-field placements, not a norm of a full trace. The analytic row and localized column estimates
bound those sums by the fixed stage and strip prices.
They use the same σ ≤1/128, branch
bounds and common stationary rows as (DP3), and are uniform in L. The inverse identity gives
difference price FK∗F = D∗. For a two-field determinant frame, the direct term difference costs
D∗M∗+ FK∗= E∗. Telescoping its three-factor bubble gives (E∗F + FM∗D∗)M∗+ FM∗FK∗.
Taking its trace through (DP10) gives precisely (DP2) and (DP4). The factor 1/2 in the core-
minus-rank determinant may be discarded when increasing this bound. This proves the relative
projection estimate while retaining the L4 factor in the unrelated individual estimates (DP3). The
stationary carrier change has zero kinetic reading:
αa(Mact −Mcore) = 0.
(DP5)
To see this, write its diagonal film as 1
2(W(p) + W(−p) −V (p)/2). The stationary tax row has
zero jets below order two. Its mixed carrier row has zero jets below order one, by the stationary
graph identity. Hence each summand of W, a product of these two rows, vanishes to order at least
three. Every summand of V contains two tax rows and vanishes to order at least four. These films
are analytic on the common strip, so their external degree-two coefficient is zero. Linearity proves
(DP5).
For an analytic scalar function bounded by A on width r0, two successive Cauchy derivative
estimates give
∥D2f(0)∥≤
A
r0/2
1
r0/4.
For the normalized reading (DP1), the source keeps the slightly weaker explicit price
B(r0, A) =
A
r0/4
1
r0/8∥axes(e0)∥2.
(DP6)
The factor two in (DP1) cancels the Taylor factorial. Apply this estimate to (DP4), with r0 = h/2,
and use (DP5). The exact projection bound is
|αa(Mact) −αa(Mrank)| ≤B(h/2, R∗).
(DP7)
No inverse power of the lattice period and no L4 multiplier occurs in (DP7).
There is one more comparison, which is an equality rather than a bounded error. Let Πμ be the
analytic film of the massive pole test on the fine lattice, with μ = 1/L. Its finite-period analytic
tensors approximate that test with error cents(n)en, where en →0, and the rank film approximates
the same test pulled back through the stationary uniform map with error cents(m)ym, where
ym = Ce−cm for fixed L. The constants and analytic strip in these approximation statements may
depend on L. They are used for identification only, not as the uniform bound in (DP7).
Fourier evaluation of the stationary pullback gives the exact alias formula
H(p) = L4 X
l
S
 (p + 2πl)/L
[nl
−(p), nl

(DP8)
Here S = Πμ, and nl
± are the incoming and outgoing stationary response columns. The analytic
contraction identities of S remove longitudinal columns. For l̸= 0, the remaining response columns
each vanish to order two at p = 0; their product therefore has no degree-two coefficient. For l= 0,
the primal and second-order stationary identities identify its contribution, through degree two, with

μ2S(μp). The discrepancy vanishes to order three. Taking two momentum derivatives introduces
another μ2, so the coefficient multiplier is L4μ2μ2 = 1. Consequently
αa(Mrank) = αa(Πμ).
(DP9)
The finite-period approximation just described proves that the analytic pullback in (DP8) is the
rank film: let the auxiliary coarse and fine sides tend to infinity at fixed L, keeping the same
stationary graph and tags. The vanishing approximation errors identify their Fourier tensors and
derivatives. The reality, gauge and signed symmetries of the actual pole test give its contraction
identities and zero lower jets. No assumption about a momentum continuation between different
lattice meshes is used.
Combining (DP7), (DP9), and (DR2)–(DR5) now gives the exact allowance used in the transi-
tion:
d = |B(h/2, R∗)| + Dann + 1,
|αN,i + s log Li| + 1 ≤d,
(DR6)
where Dann ≥0 is the bound for the massive-symbol integral remainder. The stage construction
fixes h, F, M∗, K∗, Dann, and hence d, before the block length. Afterwards it imposes one lower
bound on odd L, and post-block bounds on the analytic norm and loop allowance of the output
path.
In the transition notation these latter bounds have the forms Θ ≥β∗(L), c′ ≤γ∗, and
Λ′ ≥Λ0(L), Λ′ ≥Λ/2.
They may depend on L; they do not enter d.
The stationary tensor
is produced using arbitrary growing torus sequences satisfying the stated floor and stationary
identities; after coefficient identification it is one cover path and works on every realized torus
satisfying the construction’s patch and support margins. Thus the auxiliary large-volume limit
imposes no extra period-dependent error on (DR6), and the estimate is uniform over the terminal
cutoffs whose paths have those same pre-block bounds. The scalar reset has |∆| ≤1. Since its
actual coarse coupling is βN,p,i = βN,p,i+1 + αN,i + ∆, we obtain
|βN,p,i+1 −βN,p,i −s log Li| = |αN,i + ∆+ s log Li|
≤|αN,i + s log Li| + 1 ≤di+1.
(DR7)
Thus the one-step drift used in the shooting and running arguments includes both the calculated
path coefficient and the actual nonlinear reset. The choices of large block lengths and late coupling
entry below pay this drift simultaneously with all the local activity and insertion bounds.
Source–readout formulation.
The source records here are the three films with their frames,
the stationary graph and the tags; the single reader is αa. Three different relations to the reader
occur and must not be merged: (i) Mact −Mcore ∈ker αa exactly (DP5): the carrier change is a
redundancy of the realization invisible to this reader, although it is visible to the film norm; (ii)
Mcore −Mrank is a bounded, generally nonzero discrepancy (DP7): a controlled approximation; (iii)
Mrank and Πμ have equal readings (DP9) although the films differ at higher order and at nonzero
aliases: equality on the readout, not of sources. Accordingly the status of the slope is the following.
The number s = 11CA/(24π2) is derived within the supplied construction: it is the exact coefficient
of log L in the annular integral (DR5) of the pole (DR1). The reference clock bβi =  ̄β + sti is a
chosen comparison clock built from that number. The actual couplings are not asserted to equal
the clock: they are produced by the committed path coefficient and the bounded reset, and are tied
to the clock only through the inequality (DR7), which the shooting and running arguments below
then calibrate. The lift transports αa as a scalar reader of the realized film (films are functions
of gauge-invariant stationary data and of tagged frames, read on the identity-frame section), so
αZ
N,i = αN,i, dZ = d and (DR7) is recovered with the same constant. No physical interpretation of
s beyond this calibration role is added.

The two formal statements on which this description rests are the following.
Lemma 14.11 (Trace-ideal calculus). Let ∥U∥tr,∗= sup∥V ∥2→2≤1 | tr(UV )|.
Then ∥uv∗∥tr,∗≤
∥u∥∥v∥; a matrix with n0-dimensional source has ∥U∥tr,∗≤n0∥U∥2→2; and ∥AUB∥tr,∗≤
∥A∥∥U∥tr,∗∥B∥.
Proof. tr(uv∗V ) = v∗V u. Decompose U into its n0 columns, U = P
j Ueje∗
j, and add. The last
claim is cyclicity of the trace, tr(AUBV ) = tr(U BV A).
Theorem 14.12 (The drift allowance). With Dann ≥0 the bound for the massive-symbol integral
remainder,
d = |B(h/2, R∗)| + Dann + 1,
|αN,i + s log Li| + 1 ≤d,
and, since the scalar reset has |∆| ≤1 and the actual coarse coupling is βN,p,i = βN,p,i+1 +αN,i +∆,
|βN,p,i+1 −βN,p,i −s log Li| = |αN,i + ∆+ s log Li| ≤|αN,i + s log Li| + 1 ≤di+1.
The stage construction fixes h, F, M∗, K∗, Dann and hence d before the block length; afterwards it
imposes one lower bound on odd L and post-block bounds Θ ≥β∗(L), c′ ≤γ∗, Λ′ ≥Λ0(L), Λ′ ≥Λ/2
on the output path, which may depend on L and do not enter d.
Proof. αN,i = αa(Mact). By (DP7) it differs from αa(Mrank) by at most B(h/2, R∗); by (DP9)
the latter is αa(Πμ), the integral of fμ with Fourier weight; by (DR2)–(DR5) that integral differs
from −s log L by at most Dann. The stationary tensor is produced with arbitrary growing torus
sequences obeying the floor and stationary identities; after coefficient identification it is one cover
path and works on every realized torus with the construction’s margins, so the auxiliary limit adds
no period-dependent error.
14.8
Massive auxiliary symbols and the uniform alias trace bound
Why the calendar belongs to the witness.
The massive regulator and the sequence of pur-
chased scales control which estimates may be combined. Positive regulator mass is fixed before the
corresponding volume estimates; the subsequent choices retain this order. The calendar records
ratios, stage horizons and delays large enough for all finitely many demands already made. Native
source admission supplies no preferred ordering of the realized leaves. The order used here is there-
fore part of the realized witness, and every later calibration, comparison and limiting argument
must use that same calendar.
The massive comparison used in the preceding determinant argument is fixed as follows. With
the lattice exterior symbol qa(p) = eipa −1, put
s(p) =
X
a
qa(−p)qa(p),
dμ(p) =
μ2
s(p) + μ2 ,
cμ(p) = μ2dμ(p)9,
μ = L−1.
(MA1)
On real momentum s(p) is the nonnegative squared curl frequency. The scalar massive covariant-
site operator at a group field is D∗
UDU + μ2; its normalized inverse is μ2(D∗
UDU + μ2)−1. The
auxiliary regulator is μ2 times its ninth power, and the comparison site operator is D∗
UDU plus that
regulator. These are ordinary finite positive matrices when μ > 0. Their symbols at the identity
are respectively s + μ2, dμ, cμ, s + cμ. The ninth power is part of the construction, not a variable
exponent sent to infinity.
For link fields, copy the site regulator into each of the four link directions at the link’s initial
site. Add it to the physical quadratic Hessian and to DUD∗
U. This defines the positive auxiliary
167

link matrix.
The associated scalar functional is one half of its logarithmic determinant minus
the logarithmic determinant of the site comparison operator.
The copying operation respects
gauges and unsigned permutations of axes. Reversed links move the initial site, so this auxiliary
functional is not assigned a signed symmetry by that copying argument. The physical signed laws
are established separately.
The symbol at the identity is the physical transverse quadratic symbol plus the longitudinal
symbol qq(−p)T plus cμ(p) times the identity. On real momentum the gap estimate bounds its
quadratic form below by
min(ε, 1)
210
(s(p) + μ2) ∥v∥2
2,
(MA2)
where ε > 0 is the physical transverse floor. The scalar companion has the same bound without
the transverse factor. Indeed the physical and longitudinal pieces bound their respective curl and
gradient components; in the small-frequency region s ≤μ2, dμ ≥1/2, so cμ ≥μ2/29; in the other
region the frequency term already pays a fixed multiple of s+μ2. This proves the required positive
floor including zero momentum.
To see the uniform trace summation, aliases are
pl = L−1p + 2πL−1el,
l ∈(Z/LZ)4,
(MA3)
using the fixed centered integer lift el. Write r(l) = maxa |ela|. There are at most (2n + 1)4 indices
with r(l) = n, by injection into the integer box. Consequently, uniformly in L,
X
l
(1 + r(l))−6 ≤J0,
J0 = 16
X
n≥0
(n + 1)−2 < ∞.
(MA4)
This bound uses a box estimate for each shell; its excess over the actual shell size is harmless.
For odd L, on the strip of imaginary width 1/128, first choose the real part of the coarse
momentum in its fixed reciprocal fundamental cell. The lattice sine lower estimate on every nonzero
alias and the complex perturbation estimate for s + μ2 give
|dμ(pl)| ≤
2
(1 + r(l))2 .
(MA5)
At the zero alias the massive denominator directly gives the bound two. For a nonzero alias, its
real frequency is at least (r(l) + 1)μ in the norm used by the sine estimate, and 1
2((r(l) + 1)μ)2 ≤
|s(pl) + μ2|; divide μ2 by this lower bound. A general coarse momentum differs by a reciprocal
integer translate; this permutes the alias set. Thus summing (MA5) cubed gives, on that whole
strip,
X
l
|dμ(pl)3| ≤8J0.
(MA6)
In particular the diagonal alias matrix d3
μ ⊗1Ch has nuclear norm at most 8hJ0.
This is the
three-massive-arc trace bound used inside the ninth-power regulator.
Here are the frames in which it is used. Let TL(p) have entries L−2eipl·exδαβ, with row x, α and
column l, β. The finite character sum shows that it is unitary at real p; its explicit inverse is the
opposite-phase character matrix. On the fixed complex strip the two matrices have operator norms
at most e4/128, by separating their real unitary Fourier factor from the diagonal complex phases.
Furnishing an alias symbol means conjugating its diagonal alias blocks by these two matrices. Thus
its three-arc nuclear bound is at most
e4/128 (8hJ0) e4/128.
(MA7)
168

The weighted frames additionally use
hl(p) =
q
pebWeight(pl, μ),
AL(p) = TL(p) diag(hl(p)−1)TL(0)−1.
(MA8)
Here pebWeight(p, μ) = P
a |ei Re pa −1|2 + μ2.
Thus the positive weight uses the real part of
momentum even when p is complex. Such a weight is a norm-comparison device; it is not asserted
holomorphic. For complex differentiation, freeze the weights at the real anchor and use the analytic
TL(p) factors.
Comparing the original and frozen weights at nearby momenta gives the fixed
height allowance. The link-plus-site frame is the direct sum of (MA8) on link components and the
unweighted site frame.
This separation justifies extending the real floor to a complex strip without a hidden dimension
factor. Test the conjugated matrix against two fixed vectors and apply the one-variable Cauchy
estimate to the resulting scalar analytic function. If its operator norm is bounded by M on a ball of
radius R, its derivative is bounded by 2M/R on the half ball. Integrate along the segment from the
real anchor to a nearby complex momentum. Choose that distance so that the perturbation norm
is less than half the real lower bound in (MA2). The Neumann series then inverts the perturbed
matrix with at most twice the anchored inverse bound. Apply this in the frozen frames, then restore
the compared positive weights. All constants are fixed before L; none comes from summing matrix
entries to estimate an operator norm.
The derivative films used above are the actual zeroth, first and second coefficient matrices of
the local analytic rows. A row’s real directional derivative bound is first converted componentwise,
and then its color-coordinate square sum is taken. For the link row this costs exactly
p
| Loc(G, 1)|;
for the site row it costs
p
| Loc(G, 0)| and the displayed local sampling-density factor. Pulling the
site row into the block adds L2, since the normalized site square sum has L4 terms. These are the
link and site row allowances used in the weighted operator bounds. The rows are differentiated
through third order when constructing a second-order film of their first derivatives; that shift of
order is retained.
For the regulator film, form three consecutive cubes of the normalized inverse film in (MA1),
giving d3
μd3
μd3
μ = d9
μ, and then multiply by μ2. At the common center this is exactly cμ. Its trace-
ideal bound uses one unsplit cube as (MA7), while the other factors receive operator bounds. In
a first or second product derivative, choose the corresponding three-arc occurrence after applying
the exact inverse and product rules; the column placements in (DP10)–(DP12) give the listed
alternatives. The resulting finite sum is bounded by the positive sum of their tariffs.
Finally the house term is the physical Hessian film sandwiched between its two row films;
the orbit term is the sum over four initial-site copies of the regulator film. Sandwiching a trace-
ideal factor by operator-bounded factors preserves its nuclear bound, with the product of the two
operator allowances. Sum the four copied terms and conjugate to the common frame; the fixed
Fourier norms cost at most e4 on each side at the wider intermediate allowance. The reflection
correction is the sum of its two cross products with the regulated site row, and the fixed extra block
contributes 4| Loc(G, 0)|. Addition and the same two-sided multiplication rule give the full trace
toll in (DP10)–(DP12). Thus the cancellation there is backed by the massive symbol (MA1), the
alias sum (MA6), the real and complex floors, and the actual local row derivative bounds. It does
not require treating an arbitrary large block matrix as uniformly trace class.
The complex denominator estimate used in (MA5) can be proved before alias summation. Put
x = Re p, u = ∥q(x)∥2, and t = ∥p −x∥∞≤1. Integrating the derivative of the exponential gives
∥q(p) −q(x)∥2 ≤4t, and the same estimate at −p. Expanding their scalar product yields
|s(p) −s(x)| ≤4t(u + 4t) + 4tu = 8tu + 16t2.
169


## Source page 173

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

For t ≤μ/128, the right side is at most (u2 + μ2)/2: use 2uμ ≤u2 + μ2. Since s(x) = u2, the
reverse triangle inequality proves
|s(p) + μ2| ≥1
2(u2 + μ2) > 0,
|dμ(p)| ≤2,
|cμ(p)| ≤29μ2.
(MA9)
The coarse strip has width 1/128; each alias divides its imaginary part by L, so its fine momentum
has exactly the width μ/128 required here.
In particular the inverse denominator is analytic
throughout the strip.
For completeness the weights in (MA8) obey
hl(p) ≥μ,
∥q(pl)∥2 ≤5hl(p)
on the unit coarse strip.
At coarse points of distance at most one, the preceding exponential
estimate gives ∥q(Re pl) −q(Re rl)∥2 ≤4μ. Using hl ≥μ shows that the two positive weights have
ratio bounded by a fixed constant in both directions. Freeze hl at a real anchor while retaining
TL(p) and its explicit analytic inverse. These are the analytic frames used in the Cauchy estimate.
In ordinary unweighted norm their bounds are
∥AL(p)∥≤e4σμ−1,
∥AL(p)−1∥≤e4σ sup
l
hl(p).
(MA10)
For a real anchor, h2
l ≤16 + μ2 ≤17. These estimates display the mass powers; they must not be
silently replaced by two mass-independent unweighted bounds.
Here is an explicit form of the strip-inverse argument. Suppose a matrix K, in the two specified
weighted frames, has norm at most A, its real lower singular bound is a > 0, and the changes to
frozen analytic frames cost at most C on a ball of radius σ. Test the analytic matrix on two unit
vectors and apply the scalar Cauchy estimate. This gives derivative bound k = CAC/(σ/2) on the
half ball. On the strip
η = min{σ/2, (a/2)/(1 + k)}
the displacement from its real anchor changes the matrix by at most a/2.
The lower singular
bound is therefore a/2, so its weighted inverse has norm at most 2/a. This also proves invertibility
and analyticity of the inverse by the determinant formula. The constants are independent of the
dimension of the block. In the site application the real lower form bound is proportional to h2
l , and
the two inverse weights cancel it; it is that weighted matrix to which the assertion applies.
The remaining mass bookkeeping can now be stated exactly. The normalized inverse film has
bounded ordinary operator coefficients because its factor μ2 cancels the two inverse-weight losses.
The regulator film has both operator and trace-ideal price μ2 times a fixed price, by its definition
as μ2(d3
μ)3. Converting it back to the weighted form costs at most μ−1 on each side, hence cancels
this μ2. This accounts for the mass-independent regulator toll in the link determinant comparison.
It does not remove the explicit μ2 in its ordinary frame.
Finally the actual matrices behind the last paragraph of this chapter are as follows. Let B be
the fixed inclusion of the link block and let P be the complementary site projection; let Si read the
initial-site slot of direction i. Write C for the regulator film, R for the differentiated row, and H for
the local second variation of the scalar correction. With the rear operation denoting the transpose
at reversed momenta, including the reversed external legs, the relevant products are
House = RrearHR,
Orbit =

is 4| Loc(G, 0)|. The orbit allowance is the regulator trace allowance multiplied on each side by the
Fourier-frame bound. The house allowance follows by first assigning the finite local trace allowance
to H, then multiplying by the two row bounds. The two reflection cross products are bounded in
the same order. The total toll is the positive sum
payLedger + reflectLedger + 4(4 orbitLedger) + popLedger.

Each factor in this expression has thus been paid either by a local finite rank, the alias trace sum,
or a weighted operator norm; no trace norm of a general extensive Hessian is assumed.
Source–readout formulation.
The auxiliary massive objects are realization data that have no
target counterpart: the mass μ = L−1, the ninth-power regulator and the copied link regulator do
not appear in any recovered statement. They are spectators in the sense of the method (adding
them changes fibres, not readouts), with one caveat stated in the derivation: the auxiliary functional
is only invariant under gauges and unsigned permutations, so no signed symmetry of a readout may
be inferred through it. What is read out of this subsection is the single inequality (DP7). The
frames TL, AL are presentation changes (invertible, with the explicit norms (MA7), (MA10)); the
nuclear and operator bounds are stated in named frames precisely because they are not invariant
under arbitrary changes of frame. Two estimates of the derivation are used again later and are
isolated here.
Lemma 14.13 (Complex massive denominator). Let x = Re p, u = ∥q(x)∥2 and t = ∥p −x∥∞≤
μ/128. Then
|s(p) + μ2| ≥1
2(u2 + μ2) > 0,
|dμ(p)| ≤2,
|cμ(p)| ≤29μ2.
Proof. Integrating the derivative of the exponential gives ∥q(p) −q(x)∥2 ≤4t, and likewise at −p.
Expanding the scalar product, |s(p) −s(x)| ≤4t(u + 4t) + 4tu = 8tu + 16t2.
For t ≤μ/128,
8tu ≤uμ/16 ≤(u2 +μ2)/32 by 2uμ ≤u2 +μ2, and 16t2 ≤μ2/1024; the sum is at most (u2 +μ2)/2.
Since s(x) = u2, the reverse triangle inequality gives the first bound, and the other two follow from
(MA1).
Lemma 14.14 (Strip inverse without a dimension factor). Suppose K, in two specified weighted
frames, has norm at most A, real lower singular bound a > 0, and the changes to frozen analytic
frames cost at most C on a ball of radius σ. Put k = CAC/(σ/2) and η = min{σ/2, (a/2)/(1+k)}.
Then on the strip of width η the matrix is invertible, analytic with analytic inverse, and its weighted
inverse has norm at most 2/a.
Proof. Test the analytic matrix against two unit vectors and apply the one-variable Cauchy estimate
to the scalar function: a bound M on a ball of radius R gives derivative bound 2M/R on the half
ball, hence k. Integrating along the segment from the real anchor changes the matrix by at most
kη ≤a/2, so the lower singular bound is at least a/2. The determinant formula gives analyticity
of the inverse. No constant depends on the dimension of the block.
The exactness class is controlled approximation: the massive symbol is compared with the
massless one through the bounded discrepancy (MA12), uniformly in the alias and in the period,
and the discrepancy enters the drift only through Dann in Theorem 14.12.

Constructing the common asymptotic calendar
We give the numerical schedule construction explicitly, since both finite shooting and uniform
running use it. For each stage j ≥j0 ≥4, all pre-block parameters have already been chosen: its
derivative order, support exponent, analytic width, path bound, column bound and drift allowance
d(j). Let
A(j) = log

1 + paths(j) + width(j)−1 + columns(j) + relaxation(j) + supportExp(j)

.
Choose an odd integer block length Lj ≥3, at least every previously required lower bound, such
that
d(j)
log Lj
≤min(s/4, j−2),
A(j)
log Lj
≤j−2.
(CAL1)
This is possible because the numerators are fixed before this choice and 1/ log n →0. To make
the block lengths nondecreasing, take for each j the maximum of the finitely many lower bounds
through j, then an odd integer larger than that maximum.
These choices prove the drift and
logarithmic-cost inequalities without making the drift allowance depend on the selected terminal
cutoff.
After fixing the block lengths choose the positive protection exponents, decreasing with j, small
enough for all post-block requests and at most 1/j. This can be done by taking successive finite
minima of positive admissible upper bounds. Next choose the stage’s coupling-entry and scale-
entry thresholds; every analytic estimate proved with these parameters has one eventual threshold,
so a finite maximum handles all its requests. Later increases of these thresholds preserve their
inequalities.
Choose the initial coupling  ̄β > 1 above the first-stage entry threshold, and sufficiently large
that
x−1/2 exp((log log x)2) ≤1
(x ≥ ̄β).
(CAL2)
The ratio (log log x)2/ log x →0 proves this. For fixed j, the required lattice-size bound at logarith-
mic scale u has the explicit form
Vj(u) = Sj
 1 + c(u) + c(u + log Lj)
qj100(c(u) + 1)
+ 100
 (j + 3)Lj + 1
,
c(u) =
l
log2( ̄β + su)
m
.
(CAL3)
Here Sj and qj are the fixed shell-count and growth requests from the local estimates. The last two
terms include the small-field and patch buffers. For each fixed stage, c(u) and its fixed translate
are O(u); hence Vj(u) = O((1 + u)qj + u + 1) = o(eu). Choose an integer entrance bound Bj such
that m ≥Bj and u ≥m log 3 imply simultaneously
 ̄β + su ≥betaEntry(j),
u ≥scaleEntry(j),
u > 0,
log Lj ≤u/j,
Vj(u) ≤eu.
(CAL4)
Each condition holds eventually as u →∞; m log 3 →∞gives one common integer Bj.
There are also stagewise comparison-window requests wj(u) satisfying wj(u)/u →0, and finite
readiness thresholds rj. Choose integers Cj so that for every k ≥Cj and k log 3 ≤u ≤k log Lj,
rj ≤u,
wj(u) ≤k/2.
(CAL5)
172


## Source page 176

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
Indeed eventually wj(u)/u ≤(2 log Lj)−1; multiplication by the upper bound on u proves the
second inequality, and the lower bound on u supplies readiness. Integer rounding only strengthens
the resulting bound by ⌊k/2⌋.
We now build the stage clock, rather than presupposing one meeting all these requests. Use an
unshifted stage number h ≥0, corresponding to j = j0 + h, and write Bh, Ch for the chosen integer
requests after this shift. Define plateau starting indices recursively by
a0 = 0,
kh = Ch + 2ah + 1,
ah+1 = ah + Bh+1 + 2kh + 1.
(CAL6)
Set E(i) = h when ah ≤i < ah+1. The sequence ah is strictly increasing, so E is defined everywhere,
nondecreasing, increases by at most one in a step, and tends to infinity. Also E(0) = E(1) = 0. Its
recursion gives two useful properties:
E(i + 1) > 0 =⇒BE(i+1) ≤i,
(CAL7)
and, for every h, kh ≥Ch and
E(i) = h
whenever
kh −⌊kh/2⌋≤i ≤kh + ⌊kh/2⌋.
(CAL8)
For (CAL7), the first index of plateau h > 0 is ah = ah−1 + Bh + 2kh−1 + 1 ≥Bh + 1.
For
(CAL8), kh = Ch + 2ah + 1 places its lower endpoint above ah, while ah+1 > 2kh places its upper
endpoint strictly before ah+1.
Thus every stage receives a sufficiently long central comparison
window, however large its requests.
Define
J(i) = j0 + E(i),
Li = LJ(i+1),
τ0 = 0,
τi+1 = τi + log Li.
(CAL9)
Then i log 3 ≤τi ≤i log LJ(i), by monotonicity of the blocks. The first inequality proves τi →∞.
For every noninitial plateau (CAL7) lets us apply (CAL4) at u = τi. In particular
0 ≤log Li
τi
≤J(i + 1)−1 −→0.
(CAL10)
This is the gentle-mesh condition. Equations (CAL1) and (CAL9) give (FCA4) and (RUN3). The
stage order, power and support exponent stay nondecreasing, the protection exponent decreases,
and (CAL2) gives the small-field threshold at every scale. These properties all belong to the same
calendar.
For volume, let di = Q
r<i Lr = eτi. On every noninitial plateau (CAL4) gives VJ(i+1)(τi) ≤di,
so any positive physical period pays its lattice-size requirements. Only finitely many steps belong
to the initial plateau, since E →∞. Choose an integer M larger than their finitely many size
requirements and the required minimum period, and set the physical periods to
Pp = 4(M + p + 1),
lattice side at (i, p) = Ppdi.
(CAL11)
These periods are strictly increasing and divisible by four. They pay the initial exceptions directly
and the later requirements by the preceding denominator bound. They also provide arbitrarily
large periods divisible by any prescribed positive integer c: take p = c(M + z + 1) −(M + 1), which
is at least z, and then c | Pp. The selected complete construction may subsequently retain a period
subsequence; it keeps all the size inequalities.
Finally use (CAL5) at kh, τkh, which lies between the two bounds preceding (CAL10). The
requested window has width at most kh/2, and (CAL8) keeps that entire window on stage j0 + h.
Thus the comparison windows, entry delays, local volume margins, gentle mesh and asymptotically
small drift are realized together. No selection of a new calendar for a particular history, cutoff,
period or observable is required.

Source–readout formulation.
The calendar is a source-side object of a different kind from a
field history: it consists of numbers and index maps only. Its role in the lift is that of a common-
witness datum.
Lemma 14.15 (Plateau properties). E is defined everywhere, nondecreasing, increases by at most
one per step, tends to infinity and has E(0) = E(1) = 0. Moreover
E(i + 1) > 0 =⇒BE(i+1) ≤i,
and for every h, kh ≥Ch and
E(i) = h
whenever
kh −⌊kh/2⌋≤i ≤kh + ⌊kh/2⌋.
Proof. ah+1 −ah ≥2kh + 1 ≥3, so the ah increase strictly and a1 ≥3. If E(i + 1) = h > 0 then
i + 1 ≥ah = ah−1 + Bh + 2kh−1 + 1 ≥Bh + 1. For (CAL8), kh −⌊kh/2⌋≥kh/2 ≥ah + 1
2, so the
lower endpoint is at least ah (indeed larger), and kh + ⌊kh/2⌋≤3
2kh < 2kh + 1 ≤ah+1.
Theorem 14.16 (One calendar as a common witness). The tuple
c =
 (Lj)j, protection exponents, entry thresholds,  ̄β, (Bh, Ch, ah, kh)h, E, J, (Li, τi)i, M, (Pp)p

realizes simultaneously the drift and logarithmic-cost inequalities (CAL1), the small-field threshold
(CAL2), the entry and volume conditions (CAL4), the gentle mesh (CAL10), the central comparison
windows (CAL5), (CAL8) and the lattice sides (CAL11). It is chosen before, and independently of,
every history, cutoff, period and observable. Its readers are
Readclock(c)i = bβi =  ̄β + sτi,
Readstage(c)i = J(i),
Readside(c)i,p = Ppdi.
Proof. Each property was derived above from the recursion (CAL6) and the order of choices; none
of the choices refers to a history.
In the language of the method, c is the datum that every later readout shares: lattices, clocks,
windows and volumes are all read from the same c, and successful estimates obtained on different
calendars are never combined.
The calendar is not unique.
The admissible calendars form a
directed family under the enlargements used below (raising a length floor before the lengths are
chosen; raising entry delays with the lengths held fixed), and every inequality listed is monotone
under those enlargements. This non-uniqueness is a presentation ambiguity: no recovered statement
depends on which admissible calendar is used, but each statement is proved on one. Because the
calendar contains no group element, its frame lift is the identity, and it is the labelling datum of
the realized family in Section 8: the level index i, the stage J(i), the clock bβi and the side Ppdi of
every leaf are read from it. Nothing in the admission of the source support produces these numbers;
they are realization data chosen by the supplied construction in the stated order.
14.10
Countable local demands on the same calendar
The calendar construction must also accommodate estimates whose numerical values use the chosen
block lengths. We describe this ordering explicitly. First choose the stage profiles, kernel, primary
analytic price list, and the secondary price list for the flat covariance and exterior constructions.
The three local constructions then supply finite integer lower bounds fflat(j), fcurv(j), fdual(j) for
block lengths at profile j.
Two further integer lower bounds fstat(j), fcomp(j) ensure the local
174

stationary chart and its comparison construction are available. Raise the original length floor to
their pointwise maximum:
f(j) = max{foriginal(j), fflat(j), fcurv(j), fdual(j), fstat(j), fcomp(j)}.
(CAL12)
The choices of these supplier functions use the original stage profiles and price lists. Raising the
floor changes neither that profile nor either list. Apply (CAL1)–(CAL11) with this floor to select
the block lengths once. They now determine the local patches at all later steps.
For each fixed requested finite horizon E and profile j, the local construction gives a positive
width ρE,j ≤1. Its reciprocal is a countable numerical demand. More generally, let F : N2 →R be
any already selected demand array. Define the finite envelope
HF (j) = 1 +
j
X
n=0
j
X
i=0
|F(n, i)|.
Increase only the coupling-entry delay at profile j to at least exp(exp HF (j)). At every actual step
m, with outgoing profile j = J(m + 1), the admissible clock then obeys
HF (J(m + 1)) ≤log log bβm.
(CAL13)
For each fixed n, the divergence and monotonicity of J give a first step after which n ≤J(m + 1).
For all such steps and every i ≤J(m + 1), the corresponding summand in the finite envelope yields
|F(n, i)| ≤1 + log log bβm.
(CAL14)
This buys every fixed demand eventually. It makes no assertion that infinitely many horizons have
been paid at one finite step. Apply it first to F(E, j) = ρ−1
E,j.
After the block lengths have been fixed, the local stationary and comparison estimates also have
finite coupling bills depending on the resulting patches. Let B1(j) and B2(j) be their numerical
bounds, and put B(j) = max(B1(j), B2(j)). Add this function to the entry delay by taking another
maximum. This gives, including at step zero,
B(J(m + 1)) ≤bβm.
(CAL15)
If these bills also have a countable horizon parameter, apply the finite-envelope construction to
that array as well, in addition to the all-step bound for its distinguished horizon.
Every such
enlargement is made with the lengths held fixed. The requirement is therefore a numerical delay
condition, rather than a circular demand to choose a block length larger than a function of a
subsequently reselected block length. Intersecting finitely many delay conditions is achieved by
successive maxima. Each persists under all later compatible enlargements, so the earlier treasury,
period, local geometry and observable conditions survive.
The additional local calendars use exactly the same finite-max construction. To spell out their
quantitative admission, enumerate their finite requests by natural-number codes. Request q specifies
an integer precondition pq(j) and a finite real cost cq(j, i; Lj, Ei) for a legal adjacent pair i ≤j ≤i+1,
where Ei is the fixed stage profile. Before selecting lengths, include
p∗(j) =
max
code(q)≤j pq(j)
(CAL16)
in their floor; an empty maximum is zero. After those lengths are fixed, there are only finitely
many costs with code(q) ≤j and i ≤j. Increase the entry delay until all are at most
z( bβ) = 1 + log(2 + log bβ).
(CAL17)
175


## Source page 179

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

This is possible because z(v) →∞. For example a sufficiently large double exponential of their
finite maximum suffices. The legal flight in each cost is the one formed from the already selected
Lj, patch, kernel and stage; it is not a cost obtained from an independently chosen history. At
an actual step m, substitute j = J(m + 1), i = J(m) and Lj = Lm. Monotonicity of J implies
that a request whose code is at most J(n) has both its floor and its numerical cost paid at every
m ≥n. In particular every fixed request is paid on its admitted tail. All the post-length maxima
are held fixed when increasing the delays again, so the statement persists under every subsequent
compatible increase.
For the stationary comparison, the finite-list assertion has a concrete index bound. A request
records an input degree d, an extended degree D > d, and a jet order k, and is admitted only when
2(D +k +1) is at most the incoming smoothing grade. At outgoing grade j, there are consequently
only finitely many such triples and adjacent predecessors.
The maximum of their local length
thresholds is the integer floor used in (CAL12). On the fixed patch, take a second finite maximum,
at least one, of their polynomial estimate constants, the local stationary constants, and all reciprocal
widths ρ−1
E,i with E, i ≤j. Call it Rj. Its post-length request is eRj; payment by bβm is exactly
Rj ≤log bβm. Every auxiliary derivative index in a fixed triple ranges over finite intervals, so it
introduces no supremum over arbitrarily high orders at one stage. This proves the finiteness of the
native stationary and comparison prices used above, at their actual chosen lengths.
This includes the finite jet, local coordinate and path readouts together, with one selected
system of their dictionaries and bases. The inverse-map request has zero precondition. Its actual
cost is the inverse estimate of the specified local patch map at its selected analytic width and axis
forest. It can therefore be paid from step zero: at each j, maximize its finitely many adjacent
predecessor costs and use (CAL17). One does not need to assume a growth law for this inverse
price. For a reporting window based at level k, the affine running reference coefficient gives
z( bβm) ≤z( bβk) + s|tm −tk| ≤(1 + s){2 + Zk + |tm −tk|},
(CAL18)
where Zk includes z( bβk). To obtain the first inequality, differentiate z on v > 1: z′(v) = 1/[v(2 +
log v)] ≤1, and use | bβm −bβk| = s|tm −tk|. Thus the paid inverse cost has the same polynomial
reporting-age control required by the local comparison estimates, on the actual windows of the
actual history.
The common reference-period registry is fixed at the same pre-length stage. At outgoing grade j
its finite list consists of horizons e ≤j and the allowed adjacent incoming grades. Their integer size
requirements are included in (CAL16). With the resulting lengths fixed, its uniform finite-patch,
chart and normalization prices give a real entry gate for that same list, which is included among
the later delay maxima. This retains one registry for every eventual horizon and every reference
torus used in the periodic-copy argument; a later numerical enlargement does not reselect it. The
physical periods themselves are still chosen as in (CAL11).
We explain the identification with the actual run, since it is needed for the order of quantifiers
in the theorem. The run’s stage profile is the original profile, its kernel is the original kernel, and its
factor at profile j is the length just selected. Hence (CAL12) at J(m + 1) is the actual step’s local
length inequality. Its stationary horizon satisfies the original primary price list. Projecting the two
maxima in (CAL15) gives each local patch payment, and therefore its stationary admissibility and
the delay required for the flat covariance limit. The preselected flat supplier may now be applied
with entrance index zero to this very horizon; the curvature and dual suppliers apply to it by the
other two floors. Their local results concern the same levels, patches and retained horizon as the
run. No new family is chosen when these numerical payments are consumed. The finite volume
and token comparisons are established afterwards on this fixed run, and only then is a requested
extraction order refined.

Source–readout formulation.
The countably many local demands are readers of the calendar
and of the fixed finite patches, and the enlargements act on the calendar alone. The compatibility
statement is therefore that each enlargement commutes with every reader already purchased: a
demand array is a function of c which is monotone under the two permitted enlargements, so a
later enlargement cannot invalidate an earlier payment. This is what (CAL12)–(CAL18) establish,
in the order: stage data and length floors, then lengths, then entry delays.
Identification with the actual run.
The order of quantifiers of the public theorem needs the
following identification. The run’s stage profile and kernel are the original ones and its factor at
profile j is the selected length; hence (CAL12) at J(m+1) is the actual step’s local length inequality,
its stationary horizon satisfies the original primary price list, and projecting the two maxima in
(CAL15) gives each local patch payment, its stationary admissibility and the delay required for the
flat covariance limit. The preselected flat supplier applies with entrance index zero to this very
horizon, and the curvature and dual suppliers by the other floors. No new family is chosen when
the payments are consumed; the finite-volume and token comparisons are established afterwards on
this fixed run, and only then is a requested extraction order refined. In the source–readout record
this is the statement that the demand arrays are read from c and the fixed patches; the enlargement
operations act on c alone and commute with every reader.
14.11
Paying the actual compulsory-emission forecast
The compulsory-emission estimate must retain its quadratic monitor exponent until it has been
compared with the output forecast. Here is that comparison. Fix the block, the positive local
emission parameter μ, and the finite output order. Put y = βF (x, L), p = M(y), with M(y) =
exp{(log log y)2}. The integrated emission bound obtained from the packet and connected-cluster
estimates is
2E(x) exp{−μp2/4},
E(x) −→0.
(EF1)
This is the bound before weakening its exponent in the dictionary estimate. The requested strong
forecast has form
C exp{−at2},
C ≥1,
t = y−1/2p
β−1/2 ,
β ∈[y/2, 2y].
(EF2)
In particular 0 ≤t ≤2p. After μ has been selected at this block and chart width, choose the
positive forecast rate a ≤μ/32, and, if necessary, decrease its requested rate to at most μ/64 so
that its strict positivity margin is retained. This is a choice of the numerical forecast, made before
choosing its entry delay. It gives
at2 ≤4ap2 ≤μp2/8 ≤μp2/4.
(EF3)
For any prescribed c > 0, choose the entry delay so that 2E(x) ≤c. Equations (EF1)–(EF3) then
put the actual emission bound below c times (EF2), uniformly for every coupling in the band. The
source uses the weaker sufficient condition a ≤μ/16; the chosen μ/32 leaves room for subsequent
attachments. These choices are made separately for each of the finitely many legal adjacent stage
pairs and combined by their maximum. Thus the forced forecast used by the step, and later by
local grafting, is purchased with its actual quadratic decay and on its actual chart. A previously
weakened subquadratic estimate is not needed for this payment.
177


## Source page 181

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

Source–readout formulation.
In the lift E, p and t are scalar functions of the tagged level and
coupling. The comparison of (EF1) with c times (EF2) is an inequality between two readouts of
the same realized record, uniform over the fibre of couplings β ∈[y/2, 2y] above one clock value.
The forecast is thus purchased with its actual quadratic decay on its actual chart, and not on a
reference chart from which it would have to be transported. The finitely many legal adjacent stage
pairs are part of the calendar record c of Theorem 14.16, and the maximum over them is one of its
permitted enlargements.
14.12
Uniform reserve at every step, including startup
The numerical purchases also leave a squared reserve for errors that will later be divided by local
normalization factors. We derive that reserve, since eventual smallness at each fixed stage alone
would not supply a bound at every step of the chosen history. Put
M(x) = e(log log x)2,
κ(x) = e−M(x)1/5,
x > e.
(CAL19)
Thus κ( bβm) is exactly the forced allowance at step m. Fix a positive stage rate q. Eventually
qM(x) ≥2. Since M(y) ≥M(x) ≥1 for y ≥x > e,
qM(y)2 ≥qM(x)2 ≥2M(x) ≥2M(x)1/5,
e−qM(y)2 ≤κ(x)2.
(CAL20)
The stage rate in this formula is the positive rate of the actual already chosen post-length estimates.
Choose its threshold separately for each stage and include these thresholds among the entry-delay
maxima. At step m, use the outgoing stage J(m + 1), x = bβm, and y = bβm+1 ≥x. This gives
the squared-reserve bound simultaneously for every m, with the same post-length data. The same
delay can enforce log bβm ≥1.
Startup has a corresponding reserve without requiring a preceding block. In the startup formulas
write s = log x, so their large parameter is Ms = e(log s)2 = M(x) and their small remainder
exponent is γs = e−Ms/2. The startup estimates established above provide its local expansion with
packet-energy charge σ = Ms, extracted suppression charge κ0 = Ms, and remainder charge γs, at
coupling x/2. The connected support budget for that remainder is
e−Mse eγs−1 −1
 ≤e−Ms(e −1) ≤e−2M1/5
s
= κ(x)2
(CAL21)
for sufficiently large s. The first inequality uses eγs −1 ≤1, and the second follows from Ms −
2M1/5
s
→∞. In particular it pays the full connected budget, including its exponential conversion
from the local remainder bound.
For each fixed stage the startup threshold is finite. Include it in the same entry-delay maximum.
At level zero the calendar identifies the initial stage with its first entry stage, so this threshold is paid
there too; at a successor level it follows from the previous entry payment and the positive coupling
increment. Consequently the chosen calendar gives (CAL21) at every possible finest cutoff. For
any actual coupling in [x/2, 2x], the startup expansion is still valid: its lower-coupling hypothesis
follows from the left endpoint, and its vacuum price is bounded using the right endpoint. The exact
startup density identity then turns (CAL21) into the required forced-activity bound. These choices
enlarge delays before the final calendar and history are selected, and preserve all earlier purchases.
They add no assumption to the theorem.
Source–readout formulation.
In terms of Theorem 9.4, the reserve is the statement that the
forced component of the realized activity has norm at most κ( bβm) in units of kPm, at every step

and at startup, with the same address layout; (CAL19) is the same function as the normalization
(AB12). The squared form κ(x)2 is retained because later errors are divided by local normalization
factors: the reserve is a property of the realized record, not of a limit. The displayed inequality
(CAL21) is typeset from the supplied text with one typographical restoration: the text prints the
exponent of its first bracket with a stray comma, “e,eγs−1”, which is the thin-space command of
the original with its backslash lost; the reading e eγs−1 is the one consistent with the first inequality
stated after it.
14.13
Inverse curvature coordinates and the startup fourth coefficient
Exact startup and permitted shooting.
The first output is an exact finite Wilson density
in the represented activity form, including its normalization; an estimate alone would not identify
the starting physical measure. The second output is a finite coupling history whose bottom value
is the prescribed calibration. The shooting argument uses its two-sided band, while a forced-only
estimate can use a lower-bound-only domain. These domains are kept separate below. Retirement
changes the presentation of a state through the exact forward identity. Uniqueness is within this
recipe and calendar, not across independently chosen constructions.
The fourth-degree correction used in startup is determined by the Wilson plaquette price in
curvature coordinates. It is separate from the earlier inequality bounding the difference between
chord squared and curvature squared. Write c(U) ∈g for the projected curvature, and define
k(a) = c(exp a).

This real analytic map has k(0) = 0 and Dk(0) = I. Indeed the exponential has derivative a 7→a
at zero, its inverse group factor has derivative −a, and taking the projected skew part of their
difference divided by two returns a. The finite-dimensional analytic inverse theorem gives open
neighborhoods of zero and an analytic inverse u with
u(k(a)) = a,
k(u(z)) = z,
u(0) = 0,
Du(0) = I.
Set R(z) = exp(u(z)). On a group neighborhood of the identity and a color neighborhood of zero,
c(R(z)) = z,
R(c(U)) = U.
(SQ2)
For the second identity use the group logarithm chart constructed earlier: write U = exp a, shrink so
that a is in the inverse neighborhood, and substitute c(U) = k(a). Thus no global group logarithm
or connectedness assumption is involved.
Define the real analytic scalar function
f(z) = price(R(z)).
(SQ3)
Since R(0) = 1, the price is zero there. Its first derivative is zero because the Wilson price is a
squared chord. For R(tz), its matrix derivative at zero is the matrix of z, so the physical color
normalization gives
f(tz) = 1
2t2|z|2 + o(t2).
The second derivative is symmetric; polarization of this identity gives
D2f(0)[z, w] = ⟨z, w⟩.

Both inversion and conjugation preserve the price, while c(U−1) = −c(U) and c(hUh−1) = Adh c(U).
Apply (SQ2) to the nearby group elements R(z)−1 and hR(z)h−1.
Uniqueness of the inverse
curvature coordinates gives
f(−z) = f(z),
f(Adh z) = f(z)
(SQ5)
as germs at zero, for every fixed h ∈G. Differentiating these germ identities proves that every odd
Taylor coefficient vanishes and every Taylor coefficient is adjoint invariant. The positive physical
inner product is unchanged by the adjoint action.
Use Taylor coefficients, including the factorial, to set
Q4(z) = 1
4!D4f(0)[z, z, z, z].
(SQ6)
This is the fourth-degree invariant polynomial called Q4 in (FST1). By (SQ4)–(SQ5), the Taylor
polynomial through order four is exactly 1
2|z|2 + Q4(z). Consequently
f(z) −1
2|z|2 −Q4(z)
has all derivatives of orders 0, . . . , 4 zero at 0.
(SQ7)
For a smooth family of actual group elements U(v) with U(0) = 1, (SQ2) identifies its Wilson
residual
R(U) = price(U) −1
2|c(U)|2 −Q4(c(U))
(SQ8)
with the composition of the remainder in (SQ7) and c(U(v)), near zero. The chain rule shows that
all derivatives below order five vanish: each term contains a derivative below order five of the outer
remainder. This proves the exact flat-jet assertion underlying the startup estimate.
We next explain the uniform derivative bound, including arbitrary plaquette links and threshold
equality. Let U = (U0, U1, U2, U3) ∈G4 and P(U) = U0U1U−1
2 U−1
3 . For a list of four-link directions
A1, . . . , Aq, let Jq(A; U) be the ordered left derivative of R(P(U)), in the convention (AB3). It is
jointly real analytic in the direction variables and the four matrix entries on their actual group locus.
This follows by induction: differentiating the analytic expression along the analytic left increments
preserves analyticity. It is homogeneous of degree one in every direction; in particular
Jq(tA; U) = tqJq(A; U).
(SQ9)
Keep U1, U2, U3 arbitrary and replace the first link by
eU0(z) = exp(z)U3U2U−1
1 .
(SQ10)
The resulting plaquette is exactly exp z. At z = 0, the residual has the vanishing property (SQ7).
Each ordered link derivative lowers this vanishing order by at most one: introduce one extra
real variable for its left increment, apply the vanishing composition to the joint variables, and
then differentiate in that variable at zero. Induction gives vanishing through order strictly below
max(5 −q, 0) for Jq(A; eU(z)).
For directions in a fixed ball |A| ≤r, the external parameters consisting of these directions
and the four group entries lie in a compact finite-dimensional set.
On that set times |z| ≤1,
the required derivatives of the analytic expression are bounded. Taylor’s estimate, obtained by
integrating successive derivatives along the segment from zero to z, therefore gives one Cq,r > 0
such that
|Jq(A; U)| ≤Cq,r|z|max(5−q,0)
if |A| ≤r, |z| ≤1, P(U) = exp z.
(SQ11)
This argument bounds actual left derivatives; it is not a differentiation of a healthy-set mask. The
three unaltered links need not be small.

The local logarithm estimate gives constants c0, b0 > 0 with | log V | ≤c0 chord(V ) for
chord(V ) ≤b0. Choose δ ≤min(b0, c−1
0 , 1). If chord(P(U)) ≤θ ≤δ, and |A| ≤rθ, apply (SQ11)
to A/θ, then (SQ9). It gives
|Jq(A; U)| ≤Cq,rcmax(5−q,0)
0
θq+max(5−q,0) ≤C′
q,rθ5.
(SQ12)
For q ≥5 the last inequality uses θq ≤θ5; for q ≤5 its exponent is exactly five. All inequalities
allow equality in the plaquette threshold. At a fixed derivative horizon take a maximum over its
finitely many q’s.
At a plaquette anchored at o, an allowed direction (AB4) restricted to its four links is at
most rθ, with r depending only on the fixed power p and the bounded plaquette distances from o.
Pullback to these four links therefore converts (SQ12) into the derivative envelope used in (FST8).
A plaquette wrapping around the torus still has these same four stored group entries and bounded
periodic distances, so the estimate is unchanged. Summing over the fixed finite number of signed
plaquette types and multiplying by β gives the anchored bound Cβθ5. The constants are chosen
before coupling, cutoffand torus period. This completes the startup Taylor and derivative input
from Extra/WILSON_STARTUP/Curvature and Residual.
Source–readout formulation.
The startup fourth coefficient is a Taylor datum of a class func-
tion of the plaquette holonomy, and the only question for the lift is whether its jet bounds and its
domain are fibre constants. They are.

3 , and let Jq(A; U) be the ordered left derivative (AB3) of R(P(U)) in four-link
directions A1, . . . , Aq. Then Jq is jointly real analytic on the group locus, multilinear,
Jq(tA; U) = tqJq(A; U),
and there are constants such that
|Jq(A; U)| ≤Cq,r|z|max(5−q,0)
if |A| ≤r, |z| ≤1, P(U) = exp z,

0 , 1). The three links U1, U2, U3
are arbitrary, and equality in the plaquette threshold is allowed.
Proof. Analyticity follows by induction, differentiating an analytic expression along analytic left
increments. Keep U1, U2, U3 and replace the first link by
eU0(z) = exp(z) U3U2U−1
1 ,
so that the plaquette is exactly exp z. At z = 0 the residual has the vanishing property (SQ7). Each
ordered link derivative lowers the vanishing order by at most one (introduce an extra real variable
for the left increment, apply the vanishing composition to the joint variables and differentiate at
zero); by induction Jq(A; eU(z)) vanishes to order max(5 −q, 0) in z. For |A| ≤r the directions and
the group entries range over a compact set, so on that set times |z| ≤1 the relevant derivatives are
bounded and Taylor’s estimate gives (SQ11). For (SQ12) apply (SQ11) to A/θ with |z| ≤c0θ ≤1
and use (SQ9); for q ≥5 use θq ≤θ5.

By Theorem 9.2 the same envelope holds for R ◦P ◦π on Z in raw directions of the same
norm, and by Proposition 9.1 the hypothesis chord(P(U)) ≤θ is the same event for raw links. The
curvature coordinate is covariant, c(π(r, A)p) = Adr−1
x c(Ap), and f and Q4 are adjoint invariant by
(SQ5), so R(π(r, A)p) = R(Ap): the startup residual is a frame-blind function and its Taylor data
are recovered exactly. The inverse curvature coordinate itself is not frame-blind; only the invariant
functions built from it are read out. The quartic form Q4 and its coefficient are determined by the
Wilson price through (SQ1)–(SQ4); they are computed, not chosen.
14.14
The actual finest-scale Wilson representative
The startup used in finite shooting has nonzero activities; its total density is nevertheless exactly
the bare Wilson density. We describe this cancellation. Fix a finest-level clip c with cdirect ≤1,
threshold θ > 0, and support width B ≥2. Put b = 1−cdirect ≥0. For a plaquette holonomy u, let
R(u) = price(u) −1
2| curvature(u)|2 −Q4(curvature(u)),
(FST1)
where Q4 is the fixed fourth-degree invariant curvature correction. The finest path has row
√
b times
the elementary plaquette curvature, zero loop and cubic tensors, and quartic tensor bQ4 on the
same plaquette. Thus its quadratic-plus-quartic part is the corresponding local Taylor polynomial.
It uses the entire plaquette footprint, including a wrapping plaquette.
For each plaquette P, write uP for its holonomy, rP = chord(uP ), and kP = b| curvature(uP )|2/2.
Define its unpaid nonnegative part by
dP (U) =





price(uP ) −clinearθrP ,
rP > θ,
kP if the footprint is healthy, else b price(uP )

−
kP if its anchor is kept, else 0
,
rP ≤θ.
(FST2)
The kept predicate is the exponentially relaxed plaquette test of the clip. On a kept anchor its own
plaquette satisfies rP ≤θ. The identities price(u) = chord(u)2/2, | curvature(u)| ≤chord(u), and
clinear ≤1/4 show 0 ≤dP ≤2. If rP > θ, they give the stronger dP ≥θ2/4.
Let Atop(U) denote the actual principal path action, including its clipped direct part and its
masked quartic term. Checking separately the healthy case, the unhealthy case with rP > θ, and
the unhealthy case with rP ≤θ, gives the pointwise identity
price(uP ) = baseTermP (U) + maskθ,P
bQ4(curvature(uP ))
 + b maskθ,P [R(uP )] + dP (U). (FST3)
The first two terms here are precisely the plaquette terms in Atop. In the healthy case substitute
(FST1) and cancel. In the large-plaquette case both masks and the kept quadratic term vanish, and
the clipped direct term is clinearθrP , canceled by (FST2). In the remaining case both masks vanish
and the two alternatives for the kept quadratic term cancel those in (FST2). These are exhaustive
cases, including threshold equality.
Average (FST3) over all signed coordinate frames with weight ω = | Signed |−1, and sum over
plaquettes. Index these oriented terms by i, with footprint Si, anchor xi, residual Ri and unpaid
part di. Signed-frame invariance of the Wilson energy gives

To represent the final sum by forced activities, partition the actual flag set into its connected
components for the relation that two flags’ radius-2B neighborhoods overlap. If D is a nonempty
component, let R(D) be the union of those neighborhoods and set
qD(U) = ω
X
i: xi∈haloB(D)
di(U).
(FST5)
The extended regions of distinct components are disjoint. Every nonzero di lies within distance B of
some flag, and hence belongs to exactly one component’s sum. The assertion about distance follows
from the relaxed test: outside that distance the clip condition θ exp((B −2)/crelaxation) ≥2 and the
universal chord bound 2 force all its tests to be kept and healthy. Therefore P
D qD = ω P
i di.
Assign the forced entry e−βqD(U) to the support-inventory pair (R(D), D), eligible precisely
when R(D) ∩flagsθ(U) = D, and assign zero to all other active entries. In the gas sum, a nonzero
admissible collection must have disjoint supports and inventories partitioning the flags. Its invento-
ries are consequently exactly the connected components just described. Conversely that collection
is admissible. The gas sum thus has one nonzero term and equals
gas(U) = exp
 
−βω

(FST6)
Combining (FST4) with (FST6) proves the exact startup density e−βS(U), with scalar normalization
zero.
These explicit entries also satisfy the needed bounds. The normalized derivatives of R on a
healthy plaquette, through each fixed required order, are at most Cθ5. This follows by Taylor
expansion of the smooth four-link product and (FST1): its curvature correction cancels the jets
below degree five; the permitted derivative directions have size O(θ), so differentiating does not
lose the total factor θ5. The constants are chosen for a fixed order before the coupling or period.
There are only the fixed number of signed plaquette types at an anchor, and their cover cost is
bounded. Consequently the anchored regular bound is at most C′βθ5.
For a forced component D, every flag is incident to a plaquette above threshold and each
plaquette touches at most four sites. Using dP ≥θ2/4 and keeping one signed frame gives
qD(U) ≥|D| ωθ2/16.
(FST7)
This exponential suppression pays the connected-component support count and its support weights.
To see its size in the actual schedule, set x = bβN, z = log x, M(z) = e(log z)2, and θ = e−z/2M(z).
On the lower-bound domain β ≥x/2, (FST7) has strength proportional to M(z)2|D|. The neigh-
borhood count (4⌈z2⌉+ 1)4 and each fixed stage support cost are eventually at most M(z)/4. The
component expansion may therefore use local allowance e−M(z)/2; its summed connected-activity
bound is at most e−M(z)+1, which is eventually at most e−M(z)1/5, the required forced allowance.
For the regular bound one also uses β ≤2x. On the shooting band x/2 ≤β ≤2x, it satisfies
C′βθ5 ≤2C′e−3z/2e5(log z)2 ≤e−11z/10,
(FST8)
the required regular allowance. The same finite thresholds also ensure the clip condition preceding
(FST6), since B = ⌈z2⌉, and θ →0. These thresholds are uniform in N, p once the stage is fixed,
and have already been included in its entry delay.
The dictionaries of supports and flag predicates are independent of β.
Regular entries are
linear in β, and forced entries are exponentials of bounded finite-volume functions times fixed

eligibility indicators. Their weighted sums obey the preceding majorants. Thus the startup family
is continuous in precisely the activity budgets used for finite shooting. Countably many unused
addresses can be appended with value zero, without changing density or bounds; they furnish the
marker slots required later. This constructs (FCA2) with its actual representatives.
Source–readout formulation.
The startup representative is the first realized state of every
finite history: it is the interface between the finite Wilson law of Theorem 7.2 and the represented
states of Definition 14.19 below. Its discrepancy is identically zero.
Theorem 14.18 (Exact startup density). Let Atop be the principal path action including its clipped
direct part and masked quartic term. Pointwise, for every plaquette,
price(uP ) = baseTermP (U) + maskθ,P
bQ4(curvature(uP ))

Taking the middle sum as regular activity and representing the last by the forced entries below, the
represented density is e−βS(U) with scalar normalization zero.
Proof. The three cases are exhaustive, including threshold equality. Healthy: substitute (FST1)
and cancel. Unhealthy with rP > θ: both masks and the kept quadratic term vanish and the
clipped direct term clinearθrP is cancelled by (FST2). Unhealthy with rP ≤θ: both masks vanish
and the alternatives for the kept quadratic term cancel those in (FST2). Averaging over signed
frames and summing gives (FST4) by signed-frame invariance of the Wilson energy. Partition the
flag set into connected components for the relation that radius-2B neighbourhoods overlap; for a
component D let R(D) be the union of those neighbourhoods and
qD(U) = ω

di(U).
The extended regions of distinct components are disjoint, and every nonzero di lies within distance
B of a flag: beyond that distance the clip condition θ exp((B −2)/crelaxation) ≥2 and the universal
chord bound 2 force all tests to be kept and healthy. Hence P

entry e−βqD(U) to the support–inventory pair (R(D), D), eligible exactly when R(D)∩flagsθ(U) = D,

collection is admissible. The gas has one nonzero term,

and (FST4) with (FST6) gives the density.
The identity is pointwise in the configuration and therefore lifts by composition with π: every
term on its right-hand side is a class function of plaquette holonomies or a mask of such a function,
and Propositions 9.1 and 9.3 identify the masks and the budgets on the two sides. The estimates

(FST7)–(FST8) place the regular and forced parts within the allowances (AB12) at the clock value
x = bβN, on the shooting band x/2 ≤β ≤2x, with thresholds uniform in N and p at a fixed
stage. The forced estimate uses only the lower endpoint: βθ2 ≥M(z)2/2. The regular estimate
uses the upper endpoint: βθ5 ≤2x−3/2M(z)5. The dictionaries of supports and flag predicates are
independent of β; regular entries are linear in β and forced entries are exponentials of bounded
finite-volume functions times fixed eligibility indicators. Hence the startup family is a continuous
curve of represented states with a fixed layout, which is exactly the input required by the shooting
argument. The exactness class is exact recovery (an identity of densities), together with a bound
that places the exact representative in the activity ball.
14.15
Finite coupling arcs and calibrated finite histories
We construct the finite histories before using their compactness or uniqueness. Fix the common
calendar, a terminal depth N, and a period p. Put
τi = log(a−1
i ),
s = slopeConstant(G) > 0,
bβi =  ̄β + sτi,
Bi = [ bβi/2, 2 bβi].
(FCA1)
Here τ0 = 0,  ̄β > 0, and τi+1−τi = log Li > 0. The path tensors at fixed N, i are fixed independently
of p and of the bare-coupling shooting parameter. A represented state consists of those tensors, its
prescribed clip and budget, its actual coupling β, scalar normalization v, and regular and forced
activities. Admissibility means the local regularity, symmetry and absolute activity bounds proved
in the nonlinear step, together with the retained startup and transition conditions. It includes
β ∈Bi.
Continuity of a family of such states has a specific meaning. Its β and v are continuous; its
regular and forced address dictionaries are constant; and differences of its activity values tend to
zero in the absolute weighted derivative budgets. For regular terms derivatives are tested only
on the common healthy domain, through the prescribed order and in the prescribed directions.
For forced terms the bound is on every configuration. On a fixed period a global address sum is
legitimate for this continuity assertion. It is not substituted for the period-independent anchored
bounds in admissibility.
The nonlinear construction provides a forward family at every finite step on this one calendar.
At the finest level its states FN,p(b), b ∈BN, have
β(FN,p(b)) = b,
v(FN,p(b)) = 0,
FN,p(b). eval = bareb .
(FCA2)
They have the fixed startup representatives and insertion slots. For a continuous family Q(b) of
admissible level-i + 1 states on a compact parameter interval, the same primitive integration and
reset construction produces continuous coarse states T(b), with the same retained choices, such
that
T(b). eval = P β(Q(b))
i
(Q(b). eval),
|β(Q(b)) −β(T(b)) −s log Li| ≤di+1.
(FCA3)
The number di+1 is the fixed drift allowance of this stage. The output satisfies all level-i local
bounds before imposing its coupling band.
This distinction permits the shooting argument to
detect crossings of that band.
These forward families are obtained from the actual primitive formulas, rather than a choice
of unrelated admissible outputs. At a step, keep one primitive construction, its ordinal and tree
choice, and its fixed support dictionaries. Its output is the moment state produced by that primitive.
The local integral comparison and the absolute activity estimates above prove continuity of the
output in the stated budgets. The reset identity gives the density equality in (FCA3); its coupling
185


## Source page 189

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

bound gives the second inequality. For a continuous input curve these same formulas therefore
define a continuous output curve. For two occurrences of the identical input state they give the
identical output state: equality is equality of the represented moment states, including the activities.
Choosing this rule once at each N, i, p, and the startup rule (FCA2) once at N, p, gives a single
deterministic forward recipe. Its underlying path, clip, normalizers, source bounds and calendar
remain those of the nonlinear construction. Restricting a parameter interval preserves every one of
these properties.
To make the normalization in this construction explicit, write Hb(U) = P β(Q(b))
i
(Q(b). eval)(U).
The positive push kernel and the retained positive vacuum give Hb(1) > 0. If αN,i is the already
committed path correction, the output coupling and scalar are
β(T(b)) = β(Q(b)) + αN,i + ∆(b),
v(T(b)) = log Hb(1)
| Sitei | .
(FCA9)
The scalar reset produces |∆(b)| ≤ri and θ2
i |∆(b)| ≤ei, where ri is its fixed correction radius and ei
its regular allowance. In the exact normalized splitting, the output trunk density times its attached-
log exponential is Hb(U)/Hb(1). Installing (FCA9) multiplies that density by exp(| Sitei |v) = Hb(1),
proving (FCA3) at every configuration, including flag boundaries. The site count, rather than the
bond count, is essential in this cancellation.
The correction in this construction is the source Hessian projection:
∆(b) = Averaging. delta
 X. read(a(b))
.
(FCA10)
Here X is the actual fixed source listing and a(b) its parameterized source. The affine-curvature
Hessian projection, rebates, faults and low- and high-path loan identities in the coupling-reset
exponent section prove the exact all-configuration representation with this value of ∆. In particular
the correction is not defined by solving a two-probe contrast equation. The projection’s diagonal
bound gives θ2
i |∆(b)| ≤H(b), where H(b) is the paid regular source bound. The schedule pays
H(b) ≤fi/4 and the reset fees, giving the stated correction radius and the unit bound used in
(DR7). The regular and forced bounds after the projection and the two dictionary fusions are paid
independently by those same fees.
To see the normalization without an extra characterization of the correction, let τ(b) be the
primitive scalar before reset and let lj(b, 1) be its attached logarithms at the identity. The exact
exponent calculation gives the installed scalar
v(b) = τ(b) −| Sitei |−1 X
j
lj(b, 1).
(FCA11)
The resulting state has regular entries zero at the identity, no identity flags, and kinetic and loop
actions zero there.
Its density at the identity is therefore e| Sitei |v(b).
The already proved all-
configuration density identity makes this equal Hb(1), proving the logarithmic formula in (FCA9).
Thus (FCA9) and (FCA11) are the same scalar normalization. The interval estimate for this same
projection value is obtained by the probe argument below. We must still show that this projected
correction lies in the purchased correction interval. The source uses a nonflat probe for this purpose,
on the very same trial family. Its activity terms are independent of the correction dial z: they have
already been computed with the Hessian projection value ∆. Only the scalar coupling β + α + z
varies in that trial. Thus there is no second reset algorithm.
Here is the probe construction, uniform in the even torus side. Fix the clip’s positive direct
coefficient a and its common cubic/quartic path bound C ≥0. A nonzero Lie-algebra direction
gives a group curve through the identity with nonzero curvature derivative. Its chord is therefore

positive somewhere; continuity and the intermediate value theorem give ε > 0 such that every
chord in [0, ε] is attained. Put
t = min{ε, 1/4, a/[512(1 + C)]},
η = at2/4 > 0.
(RSP1)
Choose u ∈G with chord tθ. Set all links to the identity except direction-zero links whose direction-
one coordinate is even; set those links to u.
This is periodic on every even side.
Every (0, 1)
plaquette has holonomy u or u−1, and every plaquette has chord at most 4tθ ≤θ.
Thus the
field V has no flags. Its direct plaquette charge in every signed-frame sum is at least na(tθ)2/2,
where n is the number of sites. The cubic and quartic terms have absolute sum per site at most
C(4tθ)3 + C(4tθ)4 ≤a(tθ)2/4, by (RSP1) and θ ≤1. Averaging over the signed frames leaves
K(V ) ≥nηθ2 > 0,
(RSP2)
where K is the actual kinetic action. No smallness of the loop tensor enters this lower bound.
Write H(U) for the actual transferred density at a fixed input parameter, and set B = β + α.
On any flag-free configuration its early representation is
H(U) = exp{nτ −[β main(U) + α second(U) + loop(U)] −E(U)}.
(RSP3)
The source’s anchored regular budget is at most F/4, with F = fundsi. Summing its anchors
bounds |E(U)| ≤nF/4 at every flag-free configuration, including 1 and V . Formula (RSP3) proves
positivity at both probes and gives | log H(1)/n −τ| ≤F/4. Subtracting its two logarithms gives
contrast error at most nF/2 relative to β main +α second + loop.
On flag-free fields the main and loop actions equal their unmasked path expressions.
The
higher-order kinetic correction obeys |K(V ) −second(V )| ≤2nCθ3. The stage’s cubic payment is
|α|, 2Cθ3 ≤F/2. Therefore, with L0(U) the zero-coupling loop background,
|BK(V ) + L0(V ) −[log H(1) −log H(V )]| ≤nF.
(RSP4)
This is the actual contrast estimate, with its α and loop terms retained.
Let e be the final regular allowance, r ∈(0, 1] the correction radius. The reset price is chosen
before history selection so that
2(F + e) ≤ηθ2r.
(RSP5)
This is paid by the coupling-entry delay: F = ce, e = g11/5, θ = gM, and g ≤1, whereas the
monitor M →∞; it suffices to impose 2(c + 1) ≤ηrM2. This same condition is imposed for both
permitted adjacent-stage choices.
For the fixed trial activities, let AV be their regular action at V . Define
R(z) = (B + z)K(V ) + L0(V ) + AV −[log H(1) −log H(V )].
(RSP6)
Their budget gives |AV | ≤ne. Equations (RSP2), (RSP4), and (RSP5) imply |R(0)| ≤n(F + e) ≤
K(V )r/2. Since R(z) −R(z′) = (z −z′)K(V ), this affine function has a unique root in [−r, r]. Its
root varies continuously with the input: the contrast and coupling are continuous, the fixed-trial
activity series are continuous by their common deviation bounds, and K(V ) > 0 is fixed.
The projected state already satisfies the full density identity, so evaluating it at 1, V gives
R(∆) = 0.
More explicitly the exact fixed-trial identity is R(z) = (z −∆)K(V ).
Thus the
unique interval root is exactly the previously defined Hessian projection ∆. This proves its radius
bound and transfers the interval service’s continuous curve to the actual represented state. The
independent projection estimate θ2|∆| ≤H retains the sharper paid bound. The all-configuration

density equality is still supplied by the exponent and gas identities, not inferred from equality at
two probes. In the source the corresponding shape comparison is also explicit: for any configuration
U, the trial shape is its value at ∆times e(∆−z)K(U); the inequality |ex −1| ≤e|x||x| bounds its
discrepancy by a finite configuration-dependent constant times |R(z)|, using K(V ) > 0. Hence the
interval and projection formulations are fully compatible on this same trial family. For a compact
input curve, the connected-expansion tails can be made small at one common finite retirement index.
Their absolute tail bounds and the finitely many local bounds permit that choice throughout the
curve. In the deterministic recipe the index is chosen as a function of the incoming address layout.
A curve’s layout is constant, so that index is constant on the curve. The identities for the primitive
expressions show that changing the incidental local guide or the point at which the curve was
presented does not change the resulting state: all such expressions have the same tensors, canonical
matching coordinates, source list and scalar reset. This supplies the continuous forward rule used
above without silently choosing new dictionaries at different parameter values.
The source-level continuity and admissibility statement can now be written without suppressing
its series hypotheses. Fix a closed parameter interval I and an incoming curve Q(t) in its admissible
band. Use one point t0 ∈I as reference. The incoming path equals the prescribed path at every
point, and the regular and forced layouts equal those at t0. The matching maps therefore use identity
label correspondence on these dictionaries. Local physical guides may be selected separately at each
point; the matched primitive expression is independent of that selection. Transport all entries to
the reference layout. This fixes the unretired source dictionary, its support windows and the finite
debris predicate used for retirement.
For its source a(t), the actual continuity assertions are the following. Each regular entry, with
all permitted derivatives on its fixed healthy support, and each forced entry on all configurations,
converges as t →t0 within I. Their absolute support-weighted envelopes have uniformly small tails
near t0. These two facts imply the deviation budget tends to zero: given ε > 0, choose a finite set
of addresses leaving total tail less than ε/2; then choose a neighborhood on which the finitely many
remaining differences cost less than ε/2. This uses no continuity of flag indicators as functions of
the gauge field: their support and threshold predicates are held fixed in the compared evaluation.
On a compact input interval one retirement index can be used throughout. The uniform tail
estimate for the unretired source and compactness give an eventual regular tail bound g > 0, while
the local finite-volume comparison gives an eventual bound for all the retained local beacon entries.
Intersect these eventual conditions, choose one integer above their thresholds, and retain it at every
parameter value. The resulting source obeys the explicit regular estimate
BudgetPi(a(t)) ≤(1/16 + 2/16)Ei + turnFee(Pi)g + g,
(FCC1)
where Ei = forecastEi. Each beacon on its fixed neighbor support has the derivative bound gleami.
The source graft combines the retired regular entries, beacon entries and the fixed local profile. Its
forced ingredient estimate is paid by its original forced allowance: the primitive forced part costs
at most forecastKi(β)/8, while the added local profile has size at most the prescribed β−1/8
F
reserve
after its cover weight. The local gluing estimate sums these contributions into forecastKi(β). The
turn fee times the local beacon bound is included in the regular price. The stage delays make the
right side of (FCC1), with that additional beacon price, at most Ei. This proves the regular and
forced local estimates for the grafted source simultaneously at every parameter value.
The uniformity over all presentations of one layout requires a separate argument. A layout is the
regular and forced address lists, including supports, without coefficient functions. If no admissible
state has a layout, its assertion is empty. Otherwise choose one such state U. Form the canonical
curve Uβ on the entire closed incoming coupling band by retaining its path, cutoffand address lists,
188

setting every regular and forced coefficient function and the vacuum scalar to zero, and assigning
coupling β. Keep the address symmetry permutations. Zero functions satisfy every derivative and
hit bound, so this curve remains admissible and is continuous.
Choose local guides along this canonical curve and match their expressions to its reference
layout. At a fixed coupling the weighted connected series has a summable majorant. For a target
tail bound g > 0, take a finite set of terms outside which its sum is below g/2. Each of these
finitely many terms eventually leaves the debris set: a term is either kept or eventually appears
in the finite retirement roster. Hence one depth removes them all. Continuity in the deviation
budget bounds the change of the entire weighted series by g/2 in a neighborhood of that coupling.
The retired part is a subfamily of the same majorant, so the same neighborhood works for every
larger retirement depth. Finitely many such neighborhoods cover the closed coupling band. Their
maximum depth supplies a common tail bound g.
Intersect it with the eventual finite beacon
bounds, taking g = gold > 0.
Now let Q(t) be any other admissible curve with this layout and any allowed guide choices. At a
point t, compare its guide with the canonical guide at β = Q(t).β. The paths, lists, cutoffs, budgets
and couplings agree. The matching map is the identity on the lists, and its induced relabeling
preserves the finite retirement roster and debris predicate. For a debris address the primitive term
does not read the incoming coefficient functions: it is an omitted foreground cluster formed from
the common geometric and Gaussian factors, or an unretired scalar path term. Matching preserves
its connected coefficient, integrand and scalar coupling. Thus the two debris functions and beacon
contractions agree:
1debris(d,i)Wi(Q(t)) = 1debris(d,i)Wi(Uβ).
This is equality of local functions, so it preserves every derivative envelope tested in the budget.
Transfer the canonical tail and beacon bounds through it. Adding the principal unretired contribu-
tions gives (FCC1) for the arbitrary presentation. The threshold therefore depends on the layout,
stage, depth, period and fixed prices, but not on the curve, its coefficients or its guide choices.
Apply this construction both with standard allowances 1/16, 1/16 and with the allowances
needed for the contraction. Intersect the two eventual sets with d ≥N, and choose one integer
d(L) for each layout. Along every admissible curve L is constant, hence so is d(L). The matching
identities identify the deterministic rule with the fixed-index continuous formula on that curve. No
continuity of this integer-valued selection as the layout changes is needed. For the deterministic
operation, the retirement index is selected once from the incoming layout, at least the terminal
depth N, to satisfy these bounds for every compatible presentation of that layout. The universal
retirement estimate supplies such an index. Because a curve has one layout, this selected index is
constant on the curve. The primitive changes of local guide leave the matched source unchanged,
including its finite debris predicate and beacon contraction. Thus the deterministic moment state
agrees with the continuous curve construction just described. Restricting the interval in the shooting
argument changes neither index nor dictionary.
The Hessian projection is continuous in the resulting deviation budget. For two source values
a, a′, its bound is
θ2
i |∆(a) −∆(a′)| ≤deviationPi(a, a′).
(FCC2)
The threshold is a fixed positive number at this step. The rebate, fault, freshness and loan difference
identities are linear in the source difference and in ∆(a) −∆(a′), as proved in the reset chapter.
Their summable quote envelopes therefore pass continuity and uniform tails to the reset entries. The
finite-support dictionary fusions preserve these properties by their absolutely convergent product
bounds. In particular both the final coefficient families and their actual fixed address layouts form
a curve in the stated sense.

Finally the local primitive identity identifies the transferred density with its early-value expres-
sion on every configuration. The reset’s exact exponent and gas identities then give its installed
state with that same transferred density; its regular and forced closure estimates give all the coarse
admissibility conditions. The scalar vacuum term is continuous by the same source-series estimate.
Equivalently, evaluate the positive identity at the flat configuration to obtain its logarithmic nor-
malization (FCA9). Together with continuity of the incoming coupling and (FCC2), this proves
continuity of the output coupling as well. These are precisely the continuity, density, drift and
band-free output conditions used in (FCA3); the subsequent interval restriction is what imposes
the coarse coupling band. The calendar makes the following drift condition hold at every step:

4 log Li.

Define narrower target intervals

Since τi ≥0, they obey li ≤ui and [li, ui] ⊂Bi. If the fine coupling in (FCA3) equals li+1, then
β(T) ≤li+1 −s log Li + di+1 ≤li −1
8s log Li < li.
If it equals ui+1, then
β(T) ≥ui+1 −s log Li −di+1 ≥ui + 1
4s log Li > ui.
(FCA6)
These strict crossings require no monotonicity or derivative bound on the coarse coupling as a
function of the bare coupling.
We use the following elementary interval restriction. Suppose f is continuous on [a, b], f(a) ≤
l≤u ≤f(b). Let b′ be the first point at which f = u, and let a′ be the last point in [a, b′] at which
f = l. These points exist by the intermediate value theorem and compactness of the two level sets.
Then a′ ≤b′ and f([a′, b′]) ⊂[l, u]. A value below lwould force a later crossing of lbefore b′; a
value above u would force an earlier crossing of u. Both contradict their definitions. This argument
also covers l= u.
Starting at N, restrict the bare parameter to [lN, uN] in (FCA2). Descend by finite induction.
If an interval already carries trajectories through levels i + 1, . . . , N and its endpoint level-i +
1 couplings are li+1, ui+1, apply (FCA3) to their level-i + 1 curve. Equations (FCA6) and the
preceding interval restriction give a closed subinterval on which its level-i coupling stays in [li, ui]
and takes these exact endpoint values. Retain the already constructed higher states and insert this
new coarse state. Every higher density identity, startup condition and continuity estimate survives
the restriction.
At level zero we have a nonempty closed bare-parameter interval [aN,p, bN,p] and complete
forward trajectories
b 7−→(R b
N,p,i)0≤i≤N.
(FCA7)
Their finest coupling is exactly b; each level is continuous in the stated sense; all states are admissible;
and every adjacent pair satisfies (FCA3). Their bottom couplings take the endpoint values 3 ̄β/4
and 5 ̄β/4. Thus every bottom value in this interval is attained by a trajectory of the same recipe.
In particular choose b ∗
N,p with bottom coupling  ̄β, and set RN,p,i = R
b ∗
N,p
N,p,i. This constructs the
calibrated finite histories for every N, p.
The same retained arc supplies the auxiliary trajectories at nearby prescribed bottom couplings
used in the confluence argument. It supplies whole trajectories, not just scalar sequences satisfying

the drift inequality. No uniqueness of an inverse shooting map has been assumed. Determinism as-
serts only that equal finest states give identical forward trajectories; the later contraction argument
establishes the required uniqueness of their limiting calibrated data.
There is also a uniform interior margin. If the bottom value of any successful trajectory lies in
[3 ̄β/4, 5 ̄β/4], then

(0 ≤i ≤N).
(FCA8)
At i = 0 this is the given bottom interval. If it holds at i, solve (FCA3) for the fine coupling
and use (FCA4): its increment lies between (3s/4) log Li and (5s/4) log Li. Adding these bounds
proves (FCA8) at i + 1. This margin justifies the nearby-trajectory comparisons while retaining
the original full bands.
Finally, assembling these states into the history preserves the common path at fixed N, i, its
period independence, the prescribed budget and clip, the finest bare Wilson law, and all exact push
identities. Induction in the push integral identity gives the same finest Wilson partition function
at every coarser level. It is this calibrated history, rather than a separately selected sequence of
couplings, that enters the limits below.
Source–readout formulation.
This subsection is where the scale index of the realized family
acquires its operations. The source objects are represented states; the readout is evaluation to a
density; the operation to be lifted is the block integration Pβ
i of densities; and the calibration is a
condition on a scalar readout of the whole history. The four groups of statements below correspond
to these four items.
States and the forward operation.
Definition 14.19 (Represented state and its readers). A represented state at level i is
Q =
 path tensors, clip, budget, β, v, (Ej)j, (Kj, Pj)j, address layout
,
with readers β(Q), v(Q), the layout L(Q) (address lists with supports, without coefficient functions)
and the density

 Gas(U).
It is admissible if it obeys the local regularity, symmetry and absolute activity bounds of the
nonlinear step and the retained startup and transition conditions, including β ∈Bi. A family is
continuous if β and v are continuous, the layout is constant, and differences of activity values tend
to zero in the absolute weighted derivative budgets (regular terms tested on the common healthy
domain in the prescribed order and directions; forced terms on every configuration).
Theorem 14.20 (The forward recipe is an operation lift). At each (N, i, p) there is one determin-
istic map TN,i,p on admissible level-(i + 1) states such that
Readeval ◦TN,i,p = P β(·)

equal inputs give equal outputs (equality of represented moment states, including activities), contin-
uous input curves give continuous output curves with the same layout, and the output coupling and
scalar are

v(T(b)) = log Hb(1)

is the source Hessian projection for the fixed listing X and the parametrized source a(b).
Proof. Keep one primitive construction with its ordinal, tree choice and fixed support dictionaries;
the output is the moment state it produces. The local integral comparison and the absolute activity
estimates give continuity in the stated budgets, the reset identity gives the density equality and its
coupling bound the drift inequality. In the exact normalized splitting the output trunk density times
its attached-log exponential is Hb(U)/Hb(1); installing (FCA9) multiplies by exp(|Sitei|v) = Hb(1),
which proves the density identity at every configuration, including flag boundaries. (The site count,
not the bond count, is what cancels.) The affine-curvature Hessian projection, rebates, faults and
low- and high-path loan identities of the coupling-reset exponent prove the all-configuration repre-
sentation with the value (FCA10); in particular ∆is not defined by a two-probe contrast equation.
Equivalently, with τ(b) the primitive scalar before reset and lj(b, 1) its attached logarithms at the
identity,
v(b) = τ(b) −|Sitei|−1 X
j
lj(b, 1);
the resulting state has regular entries zero at the identity, no identity flags and vanishing kinetic
and loop actions there, so its density at the identity is e|Sitei|v(b), which the density identity equates
with Hb(1). Thus (FCA9) and (FCA11) are the same normalization.
The probe and the dial.
Proposition 14.21 (The interval root is the Hessian projection). |R(0)| ≤n(F + e) ≤K(V )r/2;
the affine function R has a unique root in [−r, r], depending continuously on the input; and R(z) =
(z −∆)K(V ), so that root is exactly ∆of (FCA10). Hence |∆| ≤r ≤1.
Proof. The first inequality is (RSP4) with |AV | ≤ne, and the second is (RSP2) with (RSP5).
R(z)−R(z′) = (z−z′)K(V ) with K(V ) > 0 gives a unique real root, of modulus |R(0)|/K(V ) ≤r/2.
The projected state satisfies the full density identity; evaluating it at 1 and V gives R(∆) = 0, hence
R(z) = (z−∆)K(V ). Continuity follows from continuity of the contrast, the coupling and the fixed-
trial activity series, K(V ) being fixed.
Layout uniformity.
Proposition 14.22 (Uniformity over all presentations of a layout). For each layout L carried by
some admissible state there is one integer d(L) ≥N such that (FCC1) holds for every admissible
curve with that layout and every allowed guide choice, with a threshold depending on the layout,
stage, depth, period and fixed prices but not on the curve, its coefficients or its guides.
Proof. Choose a state U with layout L and form the canonical curve Uβ on the closed incoming
band by retaining its path, cutoffand address lists, setting every coefficient function and the
vacuum scalar to zero and assigning coupling β, with the address symmetry permutations kept.
Zero functions satisfy every bound, so the curve is admissible and continuous. At a fixed coupling
the weighted connected series has a summable majorant; for a target g > 0 take a finite set of terms
outside which the sum is below g/2. Each of these is either kept or eventually in the finite retirement
roster, so one depth removes them all; continuity in the deviation budget bounds the change of the
whole weighted series by g/2 in a neighbourhood, and the retired part is a subfamily of the same
majorant, so the neighbourhood works for every larger depth. Finitely many neighbourhoods cover

the band; their maximal depth gives a common tail bound, intersected with the beacon bounds
(g = gold > 0). For another admissible curve Q(t) with the same layout compare its guide at t with
the canonical guide at β = Q(t).β: paths, lists, cutoffs, budgets and couplings agree, the matching
map is the identity on the lists and preserves the finite retirement roster and debris predicate,
and for a debris address the primitive term does not read the incoming coefficient functions (it
is an omitted foreground cluster formed from the common geometric and Gaussian factors, or an
unretired scalar path term). Hence
1debris(d,i)Wi(Q(t)) = 1debris(d,i)Wi(Uβ)
as local functions, which preserves every derivative envelope; adding the principal unretired contri-
butions gives (FCC1). Apply this with the standard allowances 1/16, 1/16 and with those needed
for the contraction, intersect the eventual sets with d ≥N and choose d(L).
Shooting.
Lemma 14.23 (Interval restriction). Let f be continuous on [a, b] with f(a) ≤l≤u ≤f(b). Let
b′ be the first point with f = u and a′ the last point of [a, b′] with f = l. Then a′ ≤b′, f(a′) = l,
f(b′) = u and f([a′, b′]) ⊆[l, u].
Proof. The points exist by the intermediate value theorem and compactness of the level sets. A
value below lin (a′, b′] would force a later crossing of lbefore b′, and a value above u in [a′, b′) an
earlier crossing of u; both contradict the definitions. The case l= u is included.
Theorem 14.24 (Calibrated finite histories). For every N, p there is a nonempty closed bare-
parameter interval [aN,p, bN,p] ⊆[lN, uN] and complete forward trajectories
b 7−→(R b
N,p,i)0≤i≤N
of the deterministic recipe such that the finest coupling is b, each level is continuous and admissible,
every adjacent pair satisfies (FCA3), and the bottom couplings take the endpoint values 3 ̄β/4 and
5 ̄β/4. In particular there is b∗
N,p with bottom coupling exactly  ̄β; put RN,p,i = R
b∗
N,p
N,p,i. Moreover any
successful trajectory with bottom value in [3 ̄β/4, 5 ̄β/4] satisfies
3
4 bβi ≤β(Ri) ≤5
4 bβi
(0 ≤i ≤N).
Proof. Start with [lN, uN] in (FCA2) and descend. If an interval carries trajectories through levels
i+1, . . . , N with endpoint level-(i+1) couplings li+1, ui+1, apply (FCA3) to the level-(i+1) curve;
the crossings (FCA6) and Lemma 14.23 give a closed subinterval on which the level-i coupling stays
in [li, ui] and attains both endpoints. Retain the higher states and insert the new coarse state; every
higher density identity, startup condition and continuity estimate survives restriction. At level zero
l0 = 3 ̄β/4, u0 = 5 ̄β/4, and the intermediate value theorem gives b∗. For (FCA8) induct upward:
solving (FCA3) for the fine coupling and using (FCA4), the increment lies between 3
4s log Li and
5
4s log Li, while bβi+1 −bβi = s log Li.
The calibration fibre.
The bottom-coupling map BN,p : [aN,p, bN,p] →[3 ̄β/4, 5 ̄β/4], b 7→
β(R b
N,p,0), is a continuous surjective readout of the bare parameter. The calibrated history is a
point of the fibre B−1
N,p( ̄β). At this point of the argument nothing makes this fibre a single point:
no uniqueness of an inverse shooting map is assumed, and existence used only the intermediate
value theorem.
Uniqueness within the retained recipe is proved afterwards by the comparison

weights (Theorem 14.29); the uniqueness of the limiting calibrated data is a further statement
obtained later by contraction. Determinism says only that equal finest states give equal forward
trajectories. The coupling normalization is thus imposed at the bottom (value  ̄β) and propagated
upward by (FCA8); it is a calibration condition on the realized history and not an output of ad-
mission. All objects are gauge invariant or numerical, so the frame lift of a represented state is
QZ = (. . . , (Ej ◦π)j, (Kj ◦π, Pj ◦π)j, . . . ) with the same β, v and layout; by Theorems 9.4 and 7.2
it is admissible exactly when Q is, QZ. eval = Q. eval ◦π, the push identity (FCA3) holds for the
lifted recipe T Z(QZ) = (TQ)Z, and BZ
N,p = BN,p.

Exact density identity after retirement
The retirement used above is an exact decomposition before it is an estimate. Keep one anchored
listing for the whole input curve. For its full regular source write Afull(V ) = P
j aj(V ). Partition
its indices by the chosen retirement predicate and write aj = akeep
j
+ atail
j
, including their original
healthy masks. The same predicate is used throughout the compatible curve. The local absolute
envelopes make both subseries summable, hence
Afull = Akeep + Atail.
(RET1)
The forced gas is retained in the kept source exactly; it is not split into two multiplicative copies.
If the density of the full source is
ev|Λ|−H(V )−Afull(V ) G(V ),
then the identical integrated density after retirement is
e−Atail(V )ev|Λ|−H(V )−Akeep(V ) G(V ).
(RET2)
This follows by substituting (RET1) in the exponential; in particular the tail has a minus sign.
Summability is needed here to identify the sums in (RET1), rather than merely cancelling finitely
many formal letters.
Replacing the old listing by the anchored common listing preserves each
masked occurrence, so it preserves this equality on all configurations.
The full-source density identity follows from the connected expansion already established. Its
empty-flag pool is strictly positive and equals the exponential of its absolutely convergent connected
logarithm. The scalar normalization contains the positive Gaussian and coordinate prefactors, the
incoming scalar volume term, and the reference-forest normalization. Taking their logarithm per
coarse site defines v. The cubic, quartic, loop and local correction scores have the exact totals
displayed above. Their signs cancel those terms in H + Afull, leaving precisely the logarithm of
the positive pool. Multiplying by the forced pool then recovers the original conditional integral,
including its prefactors. Thus (RET2) holds before either the kept source or the tail has its sharper
output budget.
The kept-source estimate and the tail estimate are purchased separately on this same listing.
The former gives the desired small regular price together with the original forced forecast; the latter
is the remainder used by the finite reference beacons. Reattaching that remainder restores (RET2).
Consequently neither continuity nor projection replaces the exact density by a merely close one.
Source–readout formulation.
Retirement is a change of presentation within one fibre of
Readeval: the pair (Akeep, Atail) is a finer record than Afull, the sum map (RET1) is the readout,
and (RET2) is the statement that the density read from the finer record is identical to the density
194


## Source page 198

read from the coarser one. Neither continuity nor projection replaces the exact density by a merely
nearby one. The kept-source estimate and the tail estimate are purchased separately on the same
anchored listing, and reattaching the tail restores the identity. The forced gas is kept in the kept
source exactly and is not split into two multiplicative copies. The exactness class is exact recovery;
the estimates on the two parts are additional information about the finer record and do not enter
the identity.
14.17
Finite reference beacons and weighted retirement continuity
Reference views as coefficient readers.
A beacon is a prescribed finite reference volume used
to read a local coefficient from a represented density. Its comparisons must keep the folding maps
and boundary-face contributions. The selected finite difference removes the stated face terms and
retains the interior coefficient. That is deliberate information removal with a proved annihilation
identity, not recovery of the full boundary-dependent density. The coefficient reader and its error
bounds are then used in the common reference chart and the stability estimates.
The finite beacons used in (FCC1) have an explicit five-volume construction. For integer half-
width w, use reference torus sides 2(w + j), j = 0, . . . , 4, and coefficients
ρj = (1, −4, 6, −4, 1)j
24 4!
.
(RB1)
Fold each coordinate of a reference torus by reflection into its interval of length w + j. To pull a
configuration to this folded torus, a positively traversed original edge is read directly, a negatively
traversed edge is inverted at its lower endpoint, and a collapsed edge is the identity. Translate this
folded view to a chosen coarse anchor o. Denote the resulting group configuration by Sj,oV . This
finite word map defines the views even at folded faces.
Fix the local read radius r, with 2r ≤w. A position in a folded coordinate has a type: within
r of the left face, within r of the right face, or in the interior. A boundary type records the face
and its distance 0, . . . , r −1. Its number of preimages under folding is independent of j; an interior
type has 2(w −2r + 1) + 2j preimages. In four coordinates a full type therefore has a multiplicity
which is a product of four constant or affine functions of j. The fourth difference (RB1) kills every
such product having a constant factor, and gives one on the product of four interior factors: its
fourth difference is 4! 24. Hence for any function f of the four-coordinate type,

f(typej(x)) = f(all-interior type).
(RB2)
This is a finite counting identity, including faces and edges of every codimension.
Let fj(x, V ) be the compatible anchored local reference densities. Center them by f0
j (x, V ) =
fj(x, V ) −fj(x, 1). Compatibility means that on healthy configurations two such readings agree
whenever their radius-r cover inputs agree, and they obey the exact signed and translation laws.
Define the beacon at o by

(RB3)
Choose its support radius z ≥w + 4. Introduce also the shifted expression which uses anchor o −
stagej(x) for the x-summand and masks that summand on its radius-z neighborhood. Summing this
expression over o gives exactly the sum of the masked beacons, by the finite translation permutation
of the torus. On a healthy radius-2z neighborhood all these masks are one. Their folded local

readings depend only on their four-coordinate type; compatibility and the signed laws identify
equal types. Equation (RB2) reduces the shifted expression to the original centered local density
at o. The all-interior type reads its unchanged cover neighborhood. Thus the difference between
the assigned retained density, its identity value and this shifted expression vanishes on that healthy
neighborhood. This is the local remainder used in the forced part of the graft. Its global identity
follows by summing over o; there is no discarded face correction.
The derivative allowance of (RB3) is equally concrete. If the centered full reference sum on side

On a healthy neighborhood the folded reference configuration can be gauge transformed into that
small chart, by the local axial chart construction; its displacement leaves the fixed margin required
by the reference estimate. Gauge invariance transfers that estimate back. Each pulled-back direc-
tion reads one original edge or its reversed adjoint transform. Its norm is bounded by (1 + z)pθ;
reversal preserves the color norm. Repeated left derivatives of the finite word substitution produce
at most the 2k factor in (RB4). Finite summation over the five centered reference sums proves
the displayed allowance. These are the actual finite offers used for the beacon, with their common
threshold and derivative order.
The qj’s in (RB4) are supplied by the finite reference construction. Put k = B.order, s =
turnFee(B), h = gold(G, L, x) > 0, and Vj = |Site(2(w + j))|. Its actual allowance is
qj = k! h 3k + 2Vj{s(h + h) + h}.
(RB4a)
The centered chart expression has bounds ∥Dlf∥≤hp−l, l≤k, at every admitted point of the
chart of radius p = eaves(G, L, x), with margin 2 furl(G, L, x). The logarithm of each varying link
recovers its local coordinate. If J bounds that logarithm and C is the size of a permitted left
variation, the scheduled inequalities are
(1 + royalty(G))C ≤1,
k!J(1 + royalty(G))C ≤p.
The chain rule bounds the coordinate map through order k by p, with slope one. Composition with
the chart expression costs at most k!h(1 + (1 + 1))k = k!h3k.
On the strict healthy chart the exact decomposition expresses this chart function as a constant
minus the retained full reference sum minus the summable activity source. The source budget
bounds the latter by Vj{s(h + h) + h}, through the same left-derivative order. Centering at the
identity costs at most twice this number; derivatives of positive order kill the centering constant.
The triangle inequality proves (RB4a). To include a healthy endpoint on the boundary of the strict
chart, approach it along tP, t ↑1. This path keeps the prescribed chart margin and is eventually
strictly healthy. Regularity of the retained reference function gives continuity of each left derivative
at the endpoint, and hence the same bound there. No threshold indicator is differentiated.
The reference estimates hold eventually in their approximation depth uniformly on the compact
coupling band. The five reference volumes therefore have a common depth. The actual result after
folding is

The radii and reference cardinalities have rate zero, and h has rate −23/20; so does this allowance.
The small chart required here is supplied on any healthy neighborhood by axial gauge: its link
distances are bounded by a fixed multiple of (2z + 1)5 times the threshold. The interior extension
and its inverse chart place it inside radius p −2 furl. The radius has rate zero and the threshold
rate −1/2, whereas p decays more slowly; the scheduling thus gives the strict margin eventually.
The reference offers are indexed by the coupling itself: at a curve parameter t, the selected
offer is the one at β(t). It is therefore the same offer for two presentations with the same coupling,
independently of how that point was reached. The fixed-reference finite-volume estimates hold
eventually in their approximation depth simultaneously on the compact coupling band; (RB4b)
gives the number denoted by gleami in (FCC1). The compatibility needed above comes from the
same local cylinder formulas in the different reference views.
Here is also the weighted-tail step behind the retirement argument.
At one finite torus all
supports have cover number bounded by its site count. Thus multiplying any summable envelope
by its support exponential, even the early exponent s + 3, costs only a finite constant depending
on that torus. Changing its derivative anchor also costs a finite constant:
K =
 (1 + D)pk,
(RB5)
where D is the maximal torus separation; the direction triangle inequality gives this bound. Conse-
quently the local source estimate supplies one summable envelope in the common anchored listing.
If the debris indicator of each fixed address is eventually zero, dominated convergence for series
makes its weighted debris sum tend to zero at that parameter. This eventual removal is literal: a
nonkept address eventually belongs to the finite retirement roster, whereas a kept address never
belongs to the debris.
Continuity in the deviation budget extends that small-tail bound to a parameter neighborhood.
More explicitly, spend half a requested allowance on the tail at the center and half on the full source
difference to a neighboring parameter, converting the latter to the common anchored weighted norm
by the finite constant (RB5) and its support-weight counterpart. Restricting the difference to the
debris subfamily cannot increase its positive majorant. Thus the neighborhood works for every
sufficiently large depth.
A finite subcover of the compact band gives a single depth.
Combin-
ing it with the uniform beacon depth proves the simultaneous retirement used in (FCC1). The
canonical fixed-layout curve argument already given then transfers this depth to every compatible
presentation; the construction here supplies its weighted continuity and actual finite beacons.
Here are the reference and continuity inputs with their finite-volume dependence exposed. In
this section alone n is a fixed reference side, V = n4, B is the fixed budget, k = B.order, p =
B.power, and e = B.supportExponent. The five signed fourth-difference coefficients in (RB1) are
denoted throughout by ρj; the λj formerly used for them in (RB4b) mean the same coefficients.
They are unrelated to the parameter λ in the local fusion argument.
The representation constant used here is royalty(G) = √m, where m is the dimension of the
fixed faithful unitary representation. In particular it is at least one. It is distinct from the Fourier
aliasing price, which depends on a strip width and an analytic norm.
The reference-chart radius and margin have the explicit values
p0 = (x + sG log L)−7/16,
d0 = (x + sG log L)−1,
h = (x + sG log L)−23/20.
(RB6)
The logarithm of the normalized finite Gaussian integral is centered by subtracting its value at
the identity. On the reference chart ∥P∥+ 2d0 < p0, with no flags, its derivatives through the
purchased order satisfy ∥Dlf(P)∥≤hp−l
0 . The lower bound on its unnormalized integral is strictly
positive. These statements are obtained on the actual reference forest and its Gaussian marginal,
197

with the same stationary section and coupling, by the Gaussian differentiation and connected
estimates (ASP2a)–(ASP2c), the local integral normalization (PRI2)–(PRI5), and the logarithm
series (ASP1)–(ASP2). In particular the bound concerns the centered logarithm, not the integral
itself. The reference side must exceed the prescribed patch and covariance read radius. The path
width, path norm, loop allowance, correction parameter and derivative horizon are fixed first; the
odd block length is then above their finite lower bounds; finally x is above their common delay.
Bounds for the two adjacent loop allowances and the correction parameter put both sides in these
same estimates.
The exact logarithmic density identity on the strict healthy chart has the form
f(P) = c −
X
y∈Site(n)
Fy(actual P) −
X
α
Aα(actual P).
(RB7)
Here Fy is the retained finite ordinary reference density and Aα the emitted regular source. Their
actual occurrence indices and supports are retained in the sum. The nonretained source consists of
the omitted ordinary occurrences and omitted short stationary paths, not of a difference between
Gaussian integrals on different tori. Its anchored early allowance is at most h once its approximation
depth is large. The retained-source part has allowance at most turnFee(B)(h + h). Summing these
two bounds gives turnFee(B)(h + h) + h per site. Summation over V sites and centering (RB7)
gives the second term of (RB4a); the reference logarithm gives its first term after the logarithmic
chart chain rule already proved there. This explains every summand in qj.
We give the tail argument that supplies the omitted-source allowance used in (RB7). A regular
address is a pair (oα, Xα), its anchor and finite support. For nonnegative numbers aα, its early
bound u means
sup
o
X
α:oα=o
aα exp{(e + 3) covB(Xα)} ≤u.
(RB8)
Sum over the V anchors. Since each exponential is at least one, P
α aα ≤V u. This proves absolute
summability of the derivative envelopes, including derivatives in any fixed finite list of directions:
divide those directions by one common scalar until they satisfy the threshold bound, apply (RB8),
then multiply by that scalar to the derivative order. The same scalar works for every address.
Termwise differentiation on the strict healthy open set therefore follows from uniform absolute
convergence of the derivative series through order k.
Changing every anchor to the one in the common listing multiplies its envelope by at most
Kanc = ((1 + D)p)k, as in (RB5). On this fixed torus,
covB(X) ≤V,
Ksup = exp{(e + 3)V }
bounds every early support weight. Thus an unweighted summable envelope aα gives the summable
weighted envelope gα = Kancaαe(e+3) covB(Xα). For the debris predicate
Pm(α) = {α is not kept and does not belong to the depth-m finite roster}
one has 1Pm(α) →0 at every fixed address: ordinary occurrences exhaust their finite shelves and
short paths exhaust their length cutoffs. Dominated convergence for the nonnegative series yields
P
α 1Pm(α)gα →0. This proves a small early bound, rather than merely a small unweighted sum.
For clarity, source deviation has the following meaning. Two sources have identical regular and
forced address layouts. There are nonnegative envelopes cα, dα such that on each regular healthy
domain every left derivative through order k of their difference is bounded by cα, and on every
configuration every forced coefficient difference is bounded by dα. Both total weighted sums

are at most the deviation allowance δ. Regular directions use the anchor-dependent budget (AB1)–
(AB4). Forced coefficients use their full configuration domain.
The dependence on the coupling and input activities is continuous in this deviation sense. On
a finite set of occurrence addresses, the local integrands and their derivatives vary continuously:
the Gaussian covariance and mean, finite Haar factors, cutoffprofiles and stationary coordinates
are the actual ones already constructed. Their local integral bounds (ASP2b)–(ASP2c) provide a
common integrable majorant. The normalized denominator stays positive in a sufficiently small
neighborhood. Differentiation and dominated convergence hence give continuity of each regular
derivative supremum on its compact direction and healthy test sets; the full-domain forced bounds
use the corresponding full-domain envelopes. For the infinite family, the signed connected expansion
gives a common summable majorant on that neighborhood, by (ASP3)–(ASP5). Given δ > 0, first
choose a finite address set whose common tail is below δ/4, then use finite continuity to make its
sum below δ/2. The two tails contribute at most δ/2. This proves deviation continuity with the
actual support weights.
More explicitly, the dependence of the stationary path-only terms on the coupling is affine: if
Aα(β) denotes one such term, then
Aα(β) −Aα(β′) = (β −β′){Aα(1) −Aα(0)}.
The two early envelopes at couplings zero and one give a summable Lipschitz envelope for this
difference.
The other connected terms are compared by the same marked interpolation before
summation. If the input source discrepancy is t, their regular and forced absolute envelopes have
sums bounded by tM and tQ for fixed finite M, Q, whenever 0 < t ≤t0. Signed translations cost
Z = |Seat(n)| Rim(n) turnFee(B)M.
Reindexing does not change a sum; multiplication by the symmetry normalization and the direction-
change allowance gives exactly these factors. Converting a total unweighted envelope to a weighted
one costs at most A = eeV . Thus the outgoing source deviation is bounded by t{1 + AZ + AQ}.
All these constants may depend on this reference torus, budget, fixed path bounds and derivative
horizon, but are independent of the approximation depth.
Finally fix a parameter value and an early target u > 0. Pay u/2 for its debris tail using (RB8).
Choose a parameter neighborhood with full source deviation below u/(2Ksup); then its restricted
debris differences have early allowance at most u/2. The triangle inequality gives the same tail
bound u throughout that neighborhood for all sufficiently large depths. A finite subcover of the
compact coupling band makes the depth uniform. Applying this to the five fixed reference tori
proves the common h allowance in (RB7), then (RB4a) and (RB4b), and hence the beacon term
in (FCC1). No torus-uniform version of Kanc or Ksup is used.
Source–readout formulation.
The beacon is a multi-volume readout: the source record is
the quintuple of reference views (Sj,oV )4
j=0 with their local densities, and bo is the linear reader
(RB3). The fourth difference is exactly the reader that annihilates every contribution that feels a
folded face and returns the interior density with coefficient one (Lemma 14.25); what it discards
is all information about the reference boundaries, which is the intended loss. The folding map
V 7→Sj,oV is a word map in the links and intertwines the frame realization: with frames folded by
the same site map and raw links by the same word, π(SZ
j,oz) = Sj,oπ(z), because the path identity
holds for reversed and collapsed edges. Since the densities are gauge invariant, bZ
o = bo ◦π, and
the allowance (RB4b) transfers by Theorem 9.4. The finite constants Kanc, Ksup, A, Z are tied to
a fixed reference torus; they are explicitly not uniform in the physical period, and the lift does not
make them so.

Lemma 14.25 (Fourth-difference counting identity). Fix a read radius r with 2r ≤w. A position
in a folded coordinate has a type: within r of the left face, within r of the right face (recording the
face and the distance 0, . . . , r −1), or interior. For any function f of the four-coordinate type,

f(typej(x)) = f(all-interior type).
Proof. A boundary type has a number of preimages under folding independent of j; the interior type
has 2(w−2r+1)+2j preimages. A four-coordinate type therefore has multiplicity a product of four
constant or affine functions of j. The fourth finite difference P
j(1, −4, 6, −4, 1)jg(j) annihilates
polynomials of degree below four, hence every product with a constant factor, and on the product
of four interior factors, whose leading term is 24j4, it equals 4! 24.
Faces and edges of every
codimension are included.

Derivation and transfer of the reference chart estimate
We first derive the protected-logarithm jet input. Fix the stage and derivative order before the
delay. Put y = βF , u = y−7/16, m = y−1, δ = β−1/2, and D = d fineMonitor(t). Work at centers
with ∥v∥+ 2m < u; eventually δ < u and the stationary radius exceeds u. Every z ∈B(v, m) then
satisfies ∥z∥+m < u, which is the margin needed for the Gaussian logarithm estimates throughout
this ball. Let I be the actual protected integral, V (δ, ·) its truncated Gaussian approximation with
fluctuation cutoffD, and p = Ωexp(−coverLog) > 0. The Gaussian comparison on the whole
closed ball B(v, m), using the vertical gap g > 0, is
0 ≤I(z) −pV (δ, z) ≤pe−gD2/8,
V (δ, z) ≥a = e−1/2.
(PL1)
The positive omitted tail is bounded by the quadratic Gaussian tail estimate; the local comparison
includes the chart and Haar factors. Here Ωis field independent, whereas p(z) = Ωe−coverLog(z)
is a positive function of the center. The inequalities and the following logarithm argument are
pointwise in that center. The cutoffs equal one near zero fluctuation, where the density is strictly
positive, so I > 0. Its Gaussian determinant is positive by the vertical gap. Writing I = pV (1 + q)
gives 0 ≤q ≤e−gD2/8/a. Hence the logarithmic discrepancy
f = log I −log Ω+ coverLog −log V
satisfies
|f| ≤a−1e−gD2/8,
(PL2)
by 0 ≤log(1 + q) ≤q. This is only a value estimate.
We record how the actual integral comparison in (PL1) is obtained, so that its positive error and
its domain are explicit. On the fixed forest fiber let Uz be the set represented by the fluctuation chart
U = draw(Vz, μ(z) + δi), ∥i∥≤D, where μ is the stationary graph. The chart radius inequalities
are (1 + trailCost)u + δD < initial and the corresponding color-scaled displacement is below the
group-chart radius. On this set all protecting flags vanish. The exact change of variables, including
its Haar Jacobian and the vertical Gaussian determinant, gives
Z
Uz
Iz(U) dνF (U) = p(z)V (δ, z),
I(z) = p(z)V (δ, z) +
Z
Ucz
Iz(U) dνF (U).
(PL1a)
Here Iz is the nonnegative summed fiber density used in the exact push. This is why the comparison
has a one-sided error.
The outside-field energy bound is paid in the same chart. Denote by k the number of free
bonds, by wg(β) > 0 the single-bond chart normalization, by vC the common finite size bound,

and by K0, T0 respectively the local derivative and determinant expenses. With RD = gD2/4, its
normalized logarithmic expense is
YD = −k log wg(β) −RD + vC loopsPrice + K0 + T0.
(PL1b)
The fiber complement estimate is
R
Ucz Iz ≤p(z)eYD. It uses the local link reconstruction to put every
small-toll, small-wire configuration in the safety chart. Otherwise its fine or prediction penalty pays
at least the threshold energy. The parameter inequality
β meter(vC)u + RD ≤βppenaltym2
0/2
makes that alternative at least as expensive as the fluctuation tail; m0 is a fixed positive safety
threshold, not the shrinking radius m. The quadratic lower bound within the chart pays the other
alternative. Both comparisons use the same actual field and forest fiber.
The delay makes YD ≤−RD/2, and also the stronger inequality YD + E + 2 ≤−RD/2. Here
the extra expense used to locate a clean chart point is
E = β{vCCcl∥z∥5 + vCC′(θ′3 + θ′4)} + K0 + T0 + vCAcoarse/2.
The two terms multiplied by β and the loop expense are eventually bounded by one: the field
radius has rate −7/16, the threshold has rate −1/2, and the remaining size factors have rate zero.
The nondecaying expense K0 is affine in the fine monitor, K0 = a(t) + b(t)fineMonitor(t), with a, b
bounded by the already fixed polynomial size budgets. The normalization and determinant expenses
have the same type of bound. The square RD = (gd2/4)fineMonitor(t)2 dominates this fixed finite
list, after the stage parameters and positive d are fixed. This proves both inequalities. The stronger
one, together with the positive lower bound for the total push, forces a clean point inside Uz; the
local chord and displacement estimates then keep all chart flags zero on the surrounding radius-m
ball. Thus (PL1a) applies throughout that ball. The first inequality and (PL1b) give its error
e−RD/2 = e−gD2/8, as claimed. The truncated Gaussian lower bound and its jet estimates use the
same size and radius choices. Their derivation is the local Gaussian expansion above; no full-field
lower bound for an inverse density is used here.
The Gaussian approximation uses the actual functions constructed above. Keep the retained
maximum-norm real coordinates x, and give the vertical real coordinate array its Euclidean norm,
denoting it by h. The linear map L(x, h) that joins these arrays into the joint maximum-norm
array has norm at most one. In this notation set
φ(x, h) = F(L(x, h)),
ψ(x, h) = loop(U(x, h)) −

log JG(tint(h)e).
(GL0)
Here F is the main-action-plus-prediction score (AS1), U is its actual fine configuration, loop is the
retained quadratic-loop contribution, and JG is the local Haar density of the chart in the earlier
primitive integral. The minus sign makes e−ψ contain the positive Haar factor. Let ρ(x) be the
vertical Euclidean version of the unique graph (US7), and let M(x) be its Hessian in these vertical
coordinates. The equality of counting and Euclidean color squared norms proves
Dhφ(x, ρ(x)) = 0,
D2
hφ(x, ρ(x))[z, z] = zTM(x)z,
M(x) ≥(g/2)I.
(GL0a)
Thus the inverse covariance bound used below is M(x)−1 ≤(2/g)I; it is the retained half-gap of
the actual stationary Hessian.
We explain the common derivative hypotheses for these functions. The joined points used below
satisfy

where Rpath is the stationary Lipschitz price, enlarged to include the retained identity coordinate.
The radius inequalities before (PL1a) put this whole set inside the purchased stationary domain
and put every color logarithm inside half the Haar-chart radius. The graph jets are (US8). The
score jets follow from (AS6) after the norm-at-most-one map L; converting coordinate multilinear
bounds to operator bounds costs at most the number of joint coordinates to the derivative order.
The loop jets follow by summing the absolutely weighted path jets, multiplied by the fine-site count.
A Haar summand is the fixed analytic log JG composed with a color projection of norm at most
1+dim g, so its order-k price is at most its purchased chart price times (2+dim g)k; summing costs
the free-bond count.
The centered determinant jets required below are controlled on this same domain. Differentiate
D log det M = tr(M−1DM) and D(M−1) = −M−1(DM)M−1. Repeating gives a finite sum of
traces of products of inverse factors and derivatives of M, indexed by ordered derivative partitions.
Each trace is bounded by the vertical dimension times the product of the operator norms. The
inverse factor has bound 2/g, and derivatives of M are obtained from two score derivatives and the
graph chain rule, all at the already purchased higher orders. This gives a finite polynomial price in
those jet bounds, the coordinate counts and 2/g. The value of the centered determinant logarithm
follows by integrating its first derivative from zero. These operations give the common price C for
the graph, classical score, quantum contribution and centered half-log-determinant used below. Its
dependence on the auxiliary size bounds is polynomial at fixed derivative order; those sizes have
the assigned polynomial logarithmic bounds. Consequently C has rate zero. This establishes the
hypotheses of the local Gaussian calculation on the entire displaced set, using the actual score,
chart and graph.
Define the Taylor-integral expression

Stationarity and twice integrating a line derivative give φ(x, ρ(x) + bz) −φ(x, ρ(x)) = b2A(b, x, z),
including b = 0 by the displayed integral. In particular A(0, x, z) = 1
2zTM(x)z. Put

2 log det M(0) + A(0, 0, z) −A(b, x, z)

Then the same truncated approximation in (PL1) is

At b = 0, multiplying its fixed Gaussian density by the exponential in (GL2) gives exactly the
density of γM(x)−1. Hence
V (0, x) = γM(x)−1(B(0, D)).
(GL4)
This identity retains the moving determinant and covariance; replacing either by its value at zero
would lose the derivative argument.
Here is a uniform estimate for the mass in (GL4). If a centered Gaussian covariance Q satisfies
Q ≤cI, its one-coordinate exponential moment gives P(|Zi| ≥v) ≤2e−sv+cs2/2 for s ≥0: apply
Markov’s inequality to e±sZi and add. If the number of coordinates is at most P ≥1, and Pv ≤D,
the complement of the radius-D ball is contained in the union of those coordinate events. Indeed,
if every |Zi| < v, then ∥Z∥≤
√
Pv ≤Pv ≤D. Thus its probability is at most 2Pe−sv+cs2/2.

Eventually P ≤

H. For D = dH, choose v = d
√
H and s = v/c. The error is at most
2P exp(−d2H/(2c)).
(GL5)
The monitor is chosen to dominate these polynomial size budgets and logarithmic coupling powers,
so (GL5) is smaller than ya for every fixed exponent a, after increasing the delay. This estimate is
uniform for the moving covariances, since the inverse-Hessian bound gives one common c.
For completeness the derivative price in (GL3) is finite without any derivative of a moving
integration set. At order s, put
Us = 2(1 + C + D),
As = D2Bs(Us, C),
Fs = 2C + 2As + 2Bs(Us, C).
Here C bounds the purchased section, score, quantum and centered determinant jets, with two
extra score and section orders for (GL1). The affine displacement map in (GL1) has price Us;
evaluating its second score derivative on two copies of z gives the factor D2. Integration against
1 −t, followed by the sum in (GL2), bounds all jets of G by Fs. Since G(0, 0, z) = 0, its first
derivative also gives |G(b, x, z)| ≤Fs max(|b|, ∥x∥). The shrinking chart makes this at most one.
Consequently e−1 ≤eG ≤e on the fixed cutoffball. Its base Gaussian mass is eventually at least
one half by (GL5), so e−1/2 ≤V (b, x) ≤e. The exponential composition rule bounds its jets by
Bs(Fs, Es); the fixed Gaussian measure is a probability, so integration preserves this bound. The
logarithm on the compact interval [e−1/2, e] has a finite fixed jet price Ls, giving the joint (b, x)-jet
bound B(t) = Bs(Bs(Fs, Es), Ls). All these prices have rate zero.
Finally (GL2) is unchanged by simultaneously replacing (b, z) with (−b, −z). Symmetry of the
cutoffball and base Gaussian makes V (−b, x) = V (b, x), and therefore its logarithm is even in
b. Each of its x-derivatives has zero first b-derivative at zero. Integrating its second b-derivative
bounds the difference from its b = 0 value by B(t)b2, through order j, using the purchased joint
order j + 2. At b = 0, (GL4)–(GL5) and | log v| ≤2(1 −v) for 1/2 ≤v ≤1 give an arbitrarily
small polynomial value error on the surrounding ball. Apply the interpolation (PL4) below with a
rough joint bound B(t) ≤y and a sufficiently small chosen value exponent. This bounds the x-jets
of log V (0, x) by y−2. Combining the even difference and this zero-parameter estimate gives the
asserted Gaussian logarithm jet price B(t)δ2 +y−2 at b = δ, as well as its lower bound. This proves
the Gaussian input used in (PL1) and (RBG2).
The separate rough derivative estimate for the discrepancy on that closed ball is, for a requested
order j,

S0 = (j + 1)2 + 2.

bound the number of coarse bonds. The link product and trace estimates in (AS3) give the penalty
jet price
AN = ppenalty r P(2non colorScale).
The predictor at fixed U is a constant group element of matrix norm colorScale; hence this price is
uniform in U and the finite choice α.
For clarity write the composition polynomial as
Bn(a, b) = n!b(2 + a)n.
It bounds the finite partition sum for composition when the inner and outer jets have respective
prices a, b at scale one. Subtracting the value of −βNα at the center costs a factor two in its jet
bound. If En bounds the exponential jets at zero, each integrand in (PL3a) therefore has jets
through order n bounded by its own value times
Kn = Bn(2|β|AN, En).
Integrating preserves this relative bound. Differentiation under the integral follows from the same
estimate on a neighborhood together with the bounded fine-density envelope and the finite Haar
fiber measure. Consequently ∥DiI(x)∥≤KnI(x) for i ≤n. At each center where (PL1) gives
I(x) > 0, normalize by this single positive value: Jx(z) = I(z)/I(x).
Its jets at z = x are
bounded by Kn, and Jx(x) = 1. If Ln bounds the logarithm jets at one, the chain rule gives jets
of log I(z) −log I(x) = log Jx(z) bounded by Bn(Kn, Ln). The size of I(x)−1 has canceled before
estimating. This is the normalization that supplies rough logarithm derivatives uniformly over the
surrounding ball.
The other terms of f have explicit prices as well. If C(t) is the stationary chart-jet price, set
Tn(t) = Bn(2 + 2C(t), C(t)),
On(β, t) = βTn(t) + Tn(t) + C(t).
Composition of the classical action, quantum action and Gaussian determinant on the stationary
graph bounds the centered cover logarithm by 2On. Let w(t) be the rate-zero Gaussian-log coeffi-
cient and put Q(t) = |w(t)| + y−2; since δ ≤1, the Gaussian logarithm jet price is at most Q(t).
Combining the centered logarithms and then restoring the value bound (PL2), which is eventually
at most one, gives the rough price
M(t) = Bn(Kn(2y, r(t)), Ln) + 2On(2y, t) + 2Q(t) + 1,
n = j + 1.
(PL3b)
The actual coupling lies below 2y, so positivity and monotonicity of these polynomials justify that
substitution. The bond-count bound r(t), chart coefficient C(t) and w(t) have rate zero. Thus AN
has rate zero, Kn has rate n, and Bn(Kn, Ln) has rate n2. The cover term has rate one and the
Gaussian term rate zero. Their sum has rate at most S0 −1 = n2 + 1, and hence is eventually
at most yS0. This proves (PL3), including the zeroth derivative by (PL2). It uses actual integral
derivatives and the surrounding ball, rather than differentiating the small value error.
Here is the interpolation and its order of choices. If ∥Dih∥≤vi on a ball of radius s and
∥Di+2h∥≤C, integration along unit directions gives
∥Di+1h(0)∥≤2vi/s + Cs.
(PL4)
For multilinear derivatives one tests unit vectors before applying this line estimate. Suppose rough
derivatives through order j + 1 are bounded by yd on a ball of radius y−a, a > 0. For any target

exponent b, a sufficiently small value bound yB on that ball implies every jet through order j at
its center is bounded by yb. At order zero take B = b. For the step from order i to i + 1, choose
c = a + max(0, d −b) + 1,
b′ = b −1 −c,
then use the order-i assertion with target b′ and ball exponent c to determine B.
Eventually
2y−c ≤y−a, so the smaller balls around points within y−c of the center lie in the original ball. The
induction gives ∥Dih∥≤yb′ there. Formula (PL4) gives 2yb′+c + yd−c, whose two exponents are
strictly below b; their sum is eventually at most yb. Lower jets already satisfy the stronger bound.
Apply this recursion with a = 1, d = S0, b = −2, j = n. It fixes B first; then choose the tail
accuracy and delay so that (PL2) is at most yB. Thus the discrepancy jets are bounded by y−2.
Gaussian differentiation bounds the separate local Gaussian logarithm jets by H(t)δ2 + y−2, with
H of rate zero. Keeping that term in L0 leaves the discrepancy Y in (RBG1). Since u ≤1,
max
i≤n ui∥DiY (v)∥≤y−2.
(PL5)
This includes v = 0. The critical extension and actual chart composition use the already purchased
higher jets and finite composition prices. Those prices are fixed before the tail and reference delays.
This supplies the input to the rate calculation below and hence (RB6); the retirement argument
then uses the resulting bound with its existing delay order.
We supply the quantitative calculation behind (RB6). Put y = x + sG log L, A = y−7/16, and
ε = y−2. All derivative orders and stage parameters in this calculation are fixed before x tends
to infinity. A function of rate r is eventually bounded in absolute value by yr+η for each η > 0.
Products add rates, a finite sum has the largest of its rates, and multiplication by any fixed constant
preserves a rate. Thus a rate strictly smaller than −23/20 gives the bound in (RB6), with coefficient
one, after increasing the delay.
Write the actual reference logarithm, before centering, as
g = log Ω+ L0 + Y + βf1 + W.
(RBG1)
Here Ωis the field-independent Gaussian normalization; Y is the logarithm of the normalized
protected local integral after its Gaussian main part is removed; L0 is the remaining Gaussian
normalization term; f1 is the difference between the prescribed coarse classical action and the fine
classical action evaluated on the stationary graph; and W is the difference between the prescribed
coarse quantum action and the thermal determinant and Haar contribution on that graph. These
are functions on the same real primary-coordinate space. In particular (RBG1) is an equality of
the actual densities before any estimate is taken.
For a function F, use the scaled derivative bound
∥F∥n,A;z = max
0≤q≤n Aq∥DqF(z)∥.
The protected-integral comparison and interpolation (PL1)–(PL5) give ∥Y ∥n,A;z ≤ε, including at
the origin. The derivative price of L0 on the radial segment from zero to z is
d = X(x)gstep(β)2 + ε,
gstep(β) = β−1/2,
(RBG2)
with X of rate zero. The integral itself is positive: the Gaussian measure is positive, the protected
integrand is nonnegative, and on a nonempty open neighborhood of the zero fluctuation all pro-
tecting cutoffs are one and the exponential density is strictly positive. The Gaussian has positive
205

density there. Its normalizing Gaussian determinant is positive by the vertical Hessian gap. Hence
its real logarithm is defined on the chart. The estimates for its derivatives follow by differentiating
its absolutely dominated integral and using the logarithm expansion established in (ASP1)–(ASP2).
Let M ≥1 bound the reference coordinate and site counts, let H be the stationary-response
price, and let Kn be the sum of the purchased bare-action jet price and the stationary-composition
price. More explicitly, the coordinate conversion multiplies an order-q multilinear price by Mq;
the latter composition price is the fixed polynomial clumpn(1 + H + (1 + H))H appearing in the
ordered-partition derivative bound. Thus Kn has rate zero. Classical matching removes the jets
through order four, giving
∥β(f1 −f1(0))∥n,A;z ≤βKnA5.
(RBG3)
The higher jets of W, of orders three through n, have a price Cn of rate zero. This price is the bare
jet bound multiplied by Mn(1+|α|+Λ), together with the same stationary-composition polynomial
and H. Here α is the bounded kinetic correction and Λ is the path allowance. The finite-period
thermal comparison bounds its second jet at zero by
∥D2W(0)∥≤A0,
A0 = M2{M4m(g)M} Θp e−γc.
(RBG4)
In this formula m(g) = (1 + dim g)2 is the fixed color-coordinate conversion factor. The reference
side is c, γ, Θ > 0 are the purchased decay constants, and p ≥0 is bounded by the adjacent loop
allowance. Only the displayed exponential dependence on c is used below.
The first jet is smaller than a generic extensive-action bound would suggest. The signed symme-
tries give Dg(0) = 0, while classical matching gives Df1(0) = 0. Differentiating (RBG1) therefore
yields
DW(0) = −DL0(0) −DY (0),
∥DW(0)∥≤d + ε.
(RBG5)
Taylor’s formula along segments in the chart, with these first and second jets and the third-and-
higher jet prices, gives
∥W −W(0)∥n,A;z ≤CnA3 + 3{(ε + d)A + A0A2}.
(RBG6)
For orders zero, one and two this follows by integrating the next derivative and using (RBG4)–
(RBG5). For an order q ≥3, multiply the unscaled bound CnA3−q by Aq. Taking the maximum
and enlarging the three low-order contributions gives the factor three. Centering Y costs at most
2ε; centering L0 costs dA. Equations (RBG1), (RBG3), and (RBG6) now give
∥g −g(0)∥n,A;z ≤dA + 2ε + βKnA5 + CnA3 + 3{(ε + d)A + A0A2}.
(RBG7)
Here y/2 ≤β ≤2y. Consequently d has rate −1. The lower bound on the reference side makes
Θpe−γc, and hence A0, have rate −1. All remaining prices have rate zero. The respective rates on
the right of (RBG7) are at most
−23/16,
−2,
−19/16,
−21/16,
−23/16,
−15/8.
Every one is strictly below −37/32, and −37/32 < −23/20. The defining rate inequalities, with
a sufficiently small positive slack and then a common delay, therefore make the whole finite sum
at most y−23/20. This derives the quantitative gain rather than assuming that a small integral
automatically has a small logarithmic jet.
It remains to explain why the estimate applies to the five reference tori, whose sides need not be
physical periods. Choose a physical coarse side divisible by the given reference side; the divisibility
requirement was included in the block calendar. Copy the reference forest periodically to this larger
206

torus. The uniform stationary construction gives a critical section on each torus. On the larger
torus the newly constructed section and the retained physical section have the same zero value and
solve the same critical equation in the same uniqueness corridor. They agree near zero. Their tested
classical jets and their thermal second jets therefore agree there. The periodic-copy comparison
transfers classical matching and the finite-period Hessian error to the reference section. Its decay
exponent can be replaced by the minimum of the two positive exponents, and its price by the sum
of the two prices. This is sufficient for (RBG4). No equality of the Gaussian integrals on different
tori is required.
On a fixed reference torus, differentiation along the logarithmic link chart costs the factorial
and direction factors already displayed in (RB4a)–(RB4b). The omitted-source allowance comes
from (RB8), uniformly in the compact coupling band. The same normalized offers depend on the
coupling value, so substitution of the actual coupling curve preserves these estimates and their
continuity. Summing the finite-site logarithmic and omitted-source bounds gives the reference offer
bound used in (FCC1).
This completes the passage from the actual stationary integral to the
retirement beacons.
The uniformity required in this last assembly can be made explicit.
For a fixed transition
between stage profiles, the local argument is purchased at derivative order n + 6 for the stationary
score and at the indicated higher orders for the bare-action and Haar jets. Its conclusion uses
order n ≥2. The thermal comparison is first known for the retained critical section. A newly
selected uniform analytic stationary graph is an extension of this section: the two solve the same
vertical equation, and uniqueness near zero identifies them. Therefore their classical matching and
finite-period second-jet comparison are the same tests, with the enlarged common price and the
smaller common positive width. This establishes the hypotheses of (RBG3)–(RBG5) for the graph
used in (PL1), rather than replacing that graph by a different critical solution.
For each fixed incoming stage only finitely many outgoing transition tests are required. Take
the maximum of their coupling delays. Enlarging the calendar’s delay preserves all the estimates,
since they hold for every coupling above that delay. At an actual calendar step the identities for
the block length and next coupling identify its local parameter with y = βF (t, L). The two adjacent
loop caps are bounded by the same local loop allowance, and the kinetic correction satisfies
|α| ≤drift + |sG log L| + 1.
The assumed stage bounds on paths and loops therefore place both sides of this actual step in
the local comparison just proved. This accounts for the order of choices and for the fact that the
estimates hold for all allowed coupling values in the compact band.
Finally put s = y−23/20, let q be the derivative order of the current budget, and let T be its
fixed conversion price for left derivatives. After retiring the source tail to budget s, the centered
retained source on any one reference torus of side ci has left derivatives bounded by
Fi = q! 3qs + 2c4
i {T(s + s) + s}.
(RBG8)
The first term is the finite composition bound from the logarithmic coordinates to the prescribed
left derivatives. The other terms pay the two source differences and the finite sum over sites; their
factors are positive, so restriction to the omitted subfamily does not enlarge them. The retirement
depth is common over the compact coupling band by (RB5)–(RB8), and common over the finite
reference tori by taking its maximum. Each reference side is chosen above the read radius, and its
finite joint-coordinate, fiber and site counts have the same preassigned size bound. No constant in
this step is chosen from the later macroscopic volume subsequence.

If the fixed interpolation stencil has signed weights ai, its support reach is e, and the budget
support power is p, transporting these local estimates to one insertion gives

|ai| 2q(1 + e)pqFi.
(RBG9)
Indeed the directional substitution costs 2q, the support enlargement costs (1 + e)pq, and the finite
sum is bounded with absolute weights. Smooth dependence of each reference offer on its coupling
allows substitution of the actual continuous coupling curve. Formula (RBG9) is the bound for
the reference offer in (FCC1). It is on the same ordinary source and common finite stencil as the
retirement construction, and supplies the needed passage from the local protected integral to its
assembled source bound.
Source–readout formulation.
The identity (RBG1) is a decomposition of one readout (the
reference logarithm) into five source columns, each retained with its own estimate; the Gaussian
main part and the discrepancy Y are stored separately and are never merged before the rate is
taken. The stationary section used on a reference torus is the same section as the physical one in
the sense of Theorem 14.4: uniqueness in the corridor is the comparison isomorphism between the
two presentations. The protected integral is an integral of gauge-covariant chart data on a fixed
forest fibre; in the frame realization it is carried on the identity-frame section and is unchanged by
Theorem B.1. The status of (RBG7) is a controlled approximation in the declared scaled norm,
on the compact coupling band, with the order of choices: orders and stage parameters, then block
length, then delay.
Lemma 14.26 (Interpolation). If ∥Dih∥≤vi on a ball of radius s and ∥Di+2h∥≤C there, then
∥Di+1h(0)∥≤2vi/s + Cs.
Consequently, if rough derivatives through order j + 1 are bounded by yd on a ball of radius y−a,
a > 0, then for every target exponent b there is B such that a value bound yB on that ball implies
that every jet through order j at the centre is bounded by yb, for y large.

order-i assertion with target b′ and ball exponent c. Eventually 2y−c ≤y−a, so the smaller balls
around points within y−c of the centre lie in the original ball, and (PL4) gives 2yb′+c + yd−c, both
exponents strictly below b.
The display (GL0) is typeset from the supplied text with one typographical restoration: in

The local activity norm and analytic comparison estimates
A state is read through its activity.
The raw atom or path presentation can be nonunique.
The analytic step maps must consequently be constant on presentations of the same activity before
they define maps on the completed normed activity space. The signed-moment conditions, absolute

majorants and interpolation bounds below establish the required completion and descent. The
subsequent stability theorem compares histories of the one fixed recipe. Uniform running then
controls the actual finite-cutoffcouplings uniformly in period, rather than merely exhibiting a
reference clock with the desired slope.
The norms in finite calibration are the paid activity norms, not the uniform norm of the resulting
density. Fix the current budget P and a common address layout. Let bP , kP > 0 be its regular and
forced normalization allowances. For an activity pair A = (E, K), define
∥A∥P = inf{t ≥0 : E has anchored regular derivative budget tbP , K has forced hit budget tkP }.
(LCN1)
The regular budget tests every left derivative through P’s order, in its permitted directions, on the
healthy domain of that address, with its exponential support weight. The forced hit budget takes the
absolute bound on every configuration and sums over addresses hitting each site. Both include the
fixed locality and invariance conditions. The infimum is attained: take the least supremum envelope
for each regular derivative family and each forced coefficient, and pass every finite nonnegative
partial-sum inequality to the infimum. Hence ∥A∥P ≤t is equivalent to the two displayed budgets
with that exact t. Triangle inequalities for derivatives and coefficients give subadditivity; scaling
gives ∥cA∥P = |c|∥A∥P .
Fix, for each signed translation, one permutation implementing that symmetry on the layout.
The activity pairs obeying all these fixed permutations form a linear subspace HP . Its seminorm is
(LCN1). Use its separated completion bHP ; the map from the original presentation is an isometry
after identifying seminorm-zero differences. This retains the off-mask regular germs required by
the derivative budget, rather than identifying them merely by their evaluated values outside the
healthy domain. The scalar-plus-activity space has norm ∥(λ, A)∥= max(|λ|, ∥A∥P ). The actual
retained activities have norm at most 1/8 in these coordinates.
We explain how the local primitive estimates give an analytic estimate in this norm. For a
finitely supported signed measure w = P
j cjδtj on [−1, 1], say it has moment price r at radius
p ≥1 if

for every n ≥0.
(LCN2)
A family f(t) has comparison price C at radius p if every such measure satisfies ∥P
j cjf(tj)∥≤rC.
This is the precise signed-combination bound used here. If f(t) = P
n(t/p)nan with P
n ∥an∥≤C,
the bound follows by interchanging a finite sum and an absolutely convergent series. Conversely,
define the moment vector ((t/p)n)n in l∞. The signed-combination bound defines a bounded linear
map on their span and then its closure. Coordinate vectors belong to that closure: subtract the
already recovered lower coordinates from the moment vector at a small nonzero t, divide by (t/p)n,
and let t →0. Its image supplies the coefficients. Restricting from radius p to p′ < p sums the
geometric coefficient majorant and gives an absolutely convergent series. This is the recovery step
used to turn signed-combination bounds into analytic line estimates.
On an affine activity line A + tB, regular occurrences and forced coefficients are affine in t
on the same configuration: their masks and inventories are fixed. The finite calibrated coupling
along the line is β(t) = Ω[Ω−1/32(λ + tu)]2, with |u| ≤1. The comparison center has Ω−1/32λ ∈
[33/40, 47/40], and the climate bounds ensure the whole line stays in the allowed coupling band.
Assume ∥A + tB∥P ≤1 for |t| ≤1. The primitive’s signed regular and forced estimates, followed
by the Hessian projection and the fixed dictionary fusions, give prices
output activity: d at radius q/2,
scalar correction: fi at radius q,
fi = choresi /θ2
i . (LCN3)
209


## Source page 213

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

The regular signed bound is tested in the anchored derivative budget. The forced signed bound
has one nonnegative summable hit-envelope common to all line parameters and configurations. For
any weights satisfying (LCN2), these two envelopes give budgets rd bP ′, rd kP ′ on the actual output
layout, so (LCN1) gives the activity price in (LCN3). The scalar price follows by applying the
linear Hessian reading to the same signed regular source estimate and dividing its paid bound by
θ2
i . This explains both the norm and the threshold denominator in (LCN3). The primitive locality,
derivative and signed-sum bounds used in this step are the marked integral and source projection
estimates of the preceding chapters; no assertion about analytic dependence of a chosen forest or
local guide is required.
We make explicit the gain that pays (LCN3), since an individual bound on each line value would
not imply the signed-combination bound. Use the 301 distinct interpolation nodes rj = j/301,
0 ≤j ≤300, in [−1, 1], and their Lagrange polynomials Lj. If w has moment price η at radius q,
let cj = P
t wtLj(t) and w0 = P
j cjδrj. The coefficient bounds of these finitely many polynomials
give P
j |cj| ≤Cqη for one fixed Cq ≥0. Every polynomial of degree at most 300 is interpolated
exactly, so w −w0 annihilates its moments through that degree. If V ≥q, its remaining moment
prices at radius V are bounded by η(1 + Cq)(q/V )301: factor (q/V )n from the degree-n moment
and use n ≥301. Thus a family with signed price B at radius V and individual value bound b has
signed price at radius q at most
Cqb + (1 + Cq)(q/V )301B.
(LCN8)
This is valid for the regular derivative budget as well as a scalar norm, because finite sums, absolute
scalar multiplication and envelope sums preserve that budget.
We derive the preliminary large-radius signed price used in (LCN8). Fix the stage, block ratio
and address layout. Write y = βF (x, L), φ = y1/256, B = B(x), and let A > 0 be the fixed turning
price. We first explain the parameter estimate on each vertex. A function polynomial in the line
parameter t, of degree at most two, is reconstructed exactly from its values at −1, 0, 1:
f(t) = 1
2t(t −1)f(−1) + (1 −t2)f(0) + 1
2t(t + 1)f(1).
(LCN11)
The sum of the absolute coefficients of these three Lagrange polynomials is 4. If each nodal function
has all required spatial derivatives bounded by vdm at derivative order m, (LCN2), applied to each
parameter power, bounds its signed interpolation by 4p2vdm at radius p ≥1. The same identity
holds after spatial differentiation: its parameter coefficients are fixed scalars. Thus this is a signed
derivative bound, with no factor P
t |wt|.
Logarithmic vertices enter as ef(t) −1, rather than f(t). If their nodal derivative budget is
at most v ≤1/2, first recover the budget of f using f = log(1 + (ef −1)).
The scalar value
bound is |f| ≤2v; all derivatives of log(1 + z) through the fixed order are bounded on [−1/2, 1/2].
Its finite chain-rule sums therefore give a bound bjv with the same spatial derivative scale, for a
constant bj depending only on that order. Apply (LCN11), and then the absolutely convergent
exponential series in the signed moment norm. Multiplication in that norm multiplies prices, so
a log price s ≤1 gives es −1 ≤(e −1)s; the differentiated exponential is controlled by the finite
chain-rule sums at the same scale. Consequently there are constants Aj ≥0, Bj ≥1 such that
the signed price of this vertex is at most Ajp2v, provided Bjp2v ≤1. These are the estimates
FullVolume/Ray.Badge.starpath and White.faded, applied at the three displayed nodes.
They apply to the actual vertices because the line dependence is placed in the couplings and
occurrence amplitudes, not in a newly chosen forest. With the spatial configuration held fixed, an
old vacuum logarithm is constant or is multiplied by the square of the affine coupling-amplitude

line, hence is quadratic in t. A regular occurrence has the prescribed degree-at-most-two ampli-
tude representation on this line; multiplication by its fixed local enforcement factor preserves that
degree. The forced occurrence has the same representation. Warning vertices, including their com-
mon steering and course variables, have the retained parameter-independent derivative envelope
and therefore satisfy the constant-function signed estimate. In the differentiated formula the back-
ground, steering and Gaussian-coordinate variables are varied together as specified in the common
chart. The spatial chain-rule prices are included in the nodal bounds. These are the four cases in
FullVolume/Sector/Grant.mural, lured, loglift and alerts. In particular polynomial interpolation is
applied to the log before exponentiation, not to the exponential.
The preliminary signed price now follows by the connected expansion with these vertex prices.
Three nodal log envelopes sum to at most 3q, where the old target q has rate at most −7/16. At
p = φ, their enlarged price has rate at most
−7/16 + 2/256 = −55/128 < −2/5.
Thus both 3q ≤1/2 and Bjφ2(3q) ≤1 hold eventually, and the reweighted regular and log prices fit
the target of rate −2/5. This is the explicit target enlargement in FullVolume/Sector/Reign.shows.
The finite-order product rules multiply these prices at each connected tree. The support exponent
exceeds the final exponent by more than three; split this excess into three positive reserves to pay
the tree-degree factors, collar enlargement and log attachments. The positive tree sums have ratios
at most 1/2, hence cost at most 2 each. All remaining fixed-order spatial and collar prices have
rate zero. Multiplying them by the enlarged forecast of rate −2/5 is eventually at most y−3/8.
Restricting the moment radius to φ/2 improves the bound. The forced entries retain a common
nonnegative hit envelope by the same positive majorants. This establishes the preliminary signed
estimate for every finite combination satisfying (LCN2); it does not infer it from individual activity
bounds.
Here are the product and summation steps in that signed estimate. A radius-R series certificate

t wt(t/R)n| ≤η for every
n, absolute convergence gives ∥Λwf∥≤ηA. This estimate uses cancellation of the combination;
replacing wt by |wt| would lose it.

Induction gives, for a finite product of vertices, allowance Q Ai and slope P bi. Thus the signed
cancellation is retained before multiplying the vertices. After applying Λw, polarization bounds the
full symmetric q-linear derivative by polarCost(q)ηAbq. Taking P

Every term whose list omits an index cancels by the alternating subset sum; a surviving list contains
every index exactly once, giving q! identical terms. If the unit diagonal bound is C, each subset
term is bounded by (q + 1)qC, by homogeneity. There are 2q terms and q! ≥1. This proves the
stated constant, including q = 0, and normalization of the nonzero vectors proves the operator
norm bound. Applying it after the signed parameter combination gives the allowance P≤jηA at all
orders through j. It uses no bound depending on the dimension of the spatial chart.
The Gaussian integration prices entering these allowances also have a direct finite-dimensional
proof. Let γΣ be the centered Gaussian actually used for a packet, with Σ ≥0 and |Σii| ≤B. The
one-coordinate marginal gives

etzi dγΣ = et2Σii/2 ≤eBt2/2.
Thus (1 + |zi|)q ≤eqzi + e−qzi implies

This proves integrability as well as the bound, by domination by a finite sum of the two exponential

This is obtained by the substitution yJ = czJ in the Gaussian density; the determinant con-
tributes cb. The quadratic form is nonnegative, proving the bound. The remaining scalp factor and
this multiplier combine exactly into the original scalp times cb times the exponential of the tilt’s
quadratic cost. Applying the product and exponential estimates to that equality gives derivative

moments.
Finally a warning event E with probability at most r2m and a polynomial factor with second
moment at most A2 contribute at most Arm, by Cauchy–Schwarz. Haar variables have total mass
one and do not change this bound. All polynomial moment prices are included by taking q twice
the required derivative degree. If the colored coordinate count is bounded by
2b ≤2 covB(Y ) ballCost(B) density(L) dim g
and the tilt margin satisfies 2δ ballCost(B)density(L) dim g ≤α, then log(1+δ) ≤δ gives (1+δ)2b ≤
eαcovB(Y ). This is precisely the reserved cover weight; the Gaussian determinant factor is paid before
the final summation.
The interpolation step preceding this argument supplies those certificates at the real nodes.

r=0 |[tr]li|. A
degree-k family with nodal derivative allowance Abq has (ASP1) allowance BkRkAbq: expand li(Rz)
and bound Rr ≤Rk. For optional exponential vertices the nodal hypothesis is on ef(ti) −1. When
its allowance is at most 1/2, log(1 + y) has bounded derivatives on [−1/2, 1/2] and | log(1 + y)| ≤
2|y|. The finite chain rule therefore bounds the nodal logarithm through the same spatial order.
Interpolate this logarithm, and only then exponentiate by (ASP1). The condition BjR2(3q) ≤1,
with its fixed derivative constants included in Bj, pays this last exponential step. This explains
why the source can use polynomial dependence of the log without asserting polynomial dependence
of the exponential.
The remaining tree summation is positive. If vertex prices have hit allowance γ at support
exponent s + δ, δ > 0, the rooted forest estimate of the connected expansion gives for the terms
with m nonroot vertices the bound
eδ covB(Y )
4 ballCost(B)γ
δ
m
.
(ASP3)
This estimate is proved by summing the leaf label at its first overlap with its parent: a radius-B
cover of the parent has at most its cover number times ballCost(B) possible hit sites. The hit
bound pays that sum; the reserve eδ covB pays the parent cover factors and the enumeration of
parent assignments. The rooted occurrence enumeration and factorial weights give the factor 4m
already included in (ASP3), as in the absolute tree estimate used earlier. A designated marked
root instead pays its own weighted allowance, multiplied by the same geometric factor. For ratio at
most 1/2, summing m ≥0 costs at most two. Polynomial factors from the spatial direction growth
are paid by the collar reserve:
collarj,p = (shift(x))pj sup
r≥0
rpje−δr.
(ASP4)
The supremum is finite (with the usual value one when pj = 0); it is just the elementary absorption
of a fixed polynomial by a positive exponential. The shift is bounded by a fixed multiple of the
local support width plus one.
The packet’s additional factor (1 + ε)nA, 0 ≤ε ≤1, is also paid on the whole packet. The
number nA of relevant off-tree color coordinates satisfies nA ≤C shares(A) Delay(x)5, by the link
census and the 10B visit bound. Since 1 + ε ≤e, and any fixed positive derivative constant is at
most its exponential, these factors are absorbed by increasing the coefficient of Delay(x)5 shares(A)
in the packet income. They do not change its gain exponent or replace a whole-packet cost by a
single-site hit.

In the final scheduling set α = (Qexp −e)/4 > 0, where e < Qexp is the requested output
exponent. Then e + 3α ≤Qexp. Spend the three α’s separately in the tree bound, collar bound
and attached-log bound. The enlarged root price has rate −2/5; the degree ratio in (ASP3) has
that rate times a width factor of rate zero, so it is eventually at most 1/2. The fixed derivative and
collar factors also have rate zero. Their product with the root price is eventually below bβ−3/8, since
−2/5 < −3/8. The parameter radius is R = bβ1/256, eventually at least two; restrict to R/2 for the
final bound. These are the simultaneous choices giving the common nonnegative hit envelopes for
the signed forced entries and the series certificates for the attached logs.
Retirement selects a fixed subset of this same nonnegative majorant. Adding the boundary
correction and turning operation gives the common signed price
w(x) = A{y−3/8 + 4y−7/16}.
Every reference torus and comparison ball in the graft has size polynomial in B(x) at a fixed stage.
Their site counts Ni(x) and N∗(x), and their derivative factors, have rate zero.
Summing the
two compared anchored expressions over a reference torus gives signed price pi(x) = 2Ni(x)w(x).
Summing the unrestricted value bound over the comparison ball gives price N∗(x)w(x). Both retain
rate −3/8.
Let z be the graft radius, let c∗bound the cover number of its radius-z support, and let λi be
the fixed finite interpolation weights. If the derivative order and spatial derivative power of the
budget are j and p, put
Tz = 2j(1 + z)pj,
O(x) =
X
i
|λi|Tzpi(x).
For a signed measure with moment price η at radius φ/2, the finite interpolation derivative formula
gives beacon envelope ηO(x) at each site. There is one anchored beacon per site. Its support weight
therefore gives anchored budget at most ηO(x)e(supportExponent +3)c∗. The retired part has budget
ηw(x). Since the regular graft is linear in these parts, the complete regular signed price is
w(x) + AO(x)e(supportExponent +3)c∗.
(LCN10)
The cover bound c∗is fixed before x, and all radius factors have rate zero. Thus (LCN10) has
rate −3/8, and is eventually at most y−1/4. This is the rough price at radius V = φ/2 required in
(LCN8). It applies to the deterministic source because the retirement index depends only on the
layout and the matching identities identify the actual source with this graft.
The forced half uses separate all-configuration envelopes.
Its primitive entries retain their
exponential flag suppression. The attached local insight entries have a signed scalar price obtained
from the comparison-ball and reference-torus value prices, multiplied by their ball count and support
weight. Denote the resulting primitive and attached hit prices by a and b. The delay purchases
κ ≥0, b ≤1, and
γ = eκa + 2b,
(2B + 1)4γ ≤1,
e−κ(eγ −1) ≤forecastK .
The local contribution b has rate −3/8 and is eventually below the comparison ceiling y−1/8. The
forced forecast uses the primitive exponential suppression as well; it does not follow from comparing
two power rates. To fuse the two families, inflate each old forced atom by eκ, bound each attached
exponential minus one by twice its logarithm envelope, and sum the connected components using the
displayed support reserve. Each component contains an old forced atom, so undoing the inflation
saves at least e−κ. The resulting hit price is at most e−κ(eγ −1), as proved in the attached-log

fusion argument. This gives the forced forecast at radius φ/4, with one support-exponent unit
reserved. Shrinking later to q/2 improves the moment inequalities and supplies the common forced
envelope in (LCN3).
The sharper individual price in (LCN9) comes from universal retirement. Its remaining beacon
envelope is a finite sum, with fixed coefficients, of
gold(x),
Ni(x) gold(x),
2j(1 + z)pjNi(x) gold(x),
where gold(x) = y−23/20. Every multiplier has rate zero. The fixed support exponential and turning
price preserve rate −23/20, proving the claimed rate of εj. Thus finite interpolation combines a
large-radius signed estimate and a sharper real individual estimate. For the primitive source, the
individual bound b is its regular price (FCC1) plus the beacon contribution. With x = bβi, it has
form
b = 3t Cjx−11/10 + εj(x),
εj has rate −23/20,
(LCN9)
where t > 0 is the freely chosen small primitive allowance. The three principal payments are the
coefficient t + 2t. The other terms are the turning fee times the retired tail, the tail itself, and the
beacon price times its fixed support exponential. The local estimates give them the stated −23/20
rate at fixed block and stage. The larger signed radius is V = fire(x)/2, where fire(x) = βF (x)1/256;
the rough signed price has rate −1/4. Consequently the last term of (LCN8) has rate at most
−301/256 −1/4 < −23/20. Choose t so that 6Cqt ≤v, and then the coupling-entry delay so
that the two remaining terms cost at most (v/2)Cjx−11/10. Equations (LCN8)–(LCN9) give signed
regular source price at most vCjx−11/10 = choresi. This is the numerator of the scalar price fi.
The Hessian reading of this source yields the scalar correction price fi by linearity and its
bound θ2
i |∆| ≤Budget. Applying the regular reset price to that same signed source, including the
committed coefficient bound |αN,i| ≤di+1 + s log Li, gives regular output price dbP ′ once the small
allowance and delay have been chosen. The forced reset entries use their common all-configuration
envelopes; the forced and attached-log fusion estimates retain one unit of support-weight reserve
and yield hit price dkP ′ at radius q/2. The expenses and the forced cutoffare the paid local reset
inequalities, not a consequence of the scalar reading alone. Combining these two prices through
(LCN1) proves the activity assertion in (LCN3). Thus the analytic recovery uses a signed estimate
obtained by a finite interpolation cancellation, with the exact exponent 301, rather than assuming
analyticity of arbitrarily selected primitive witnesses. In fact the output values are independent of
such incidental choices. To compare two representatives with identical coupling and activity data,
use the same constant affine input line but select the first representative at t = 0 and the second
at t ̸= 0. The bounds (LCN3) still hold. For q ≥4, the signed measure δt −δ0 has moment price at
most |t| at either radius. Therefore its two output differences are bounded by d|t| and fi|t|; letting
t →0 proves equality. This supplies the single-valued activity and scalar maps on the common
normed presentation.
Choose q ≥4 so large that

(LCN4)
At any center (λ, A) with Ω−1/32λ ∈[17/20, 23/20] and ∥A∥P ≤1/8, every neighboring center
within distance 1/8, followed by any direction of norm at most 1/4, stays in the enlarged scalar
window and activity ball used in (LCN3). Recover the line series at radius q/4. Polarization makes
its degree-n coefficient a symmetric multilinear map: the finite difference formula divides by n!, has
2n summands, and each sum of n unit vectors has norm at most n. Since nn/n! ≤en, the resulting

C = 2d or 2fi.
(LCN5)
The formulas agree on overlaps because they recover the same scalar line coefficients. They extend
through the isometric dense inclusion into the completion, preserving their operator norms. By
(LCN4), the activity coefficients are bounded by γ, and the scalar coefficients by 2fi, at every
order.
For increments z, z′ of norm at most 1/4, telescope each multilinear diagonal and sum:
X
n≥1
n(1/4)n−1∥z −z′∥C = 16
9 C∥z −z′∥≤2C∥z −z′∥.
(LCN6)
Thus the local Lipschitz constants are 2γ for activities and 4fi for the scalar correction. To get the
estimates for any two centers in the whole stated window and activity ball, split into distances at
most 1/4, where (LCN6) applies, and distances greater than 1/4. In the latter case (LCN3) applied
to singleton measures bounds the two values separately by d and fi; their differences are at most
2d ≤γ and 2fi. Both cases imply
∥Φi(y) −Φi(x)∥≤8γ∥y −x∥,
|∆i(y) −∆i(x)| ≤8fi∥y −x∥.
(LCN7)
With si = 2fi, this is exactly the scalar constant 4si and activity constant 8γ used in (FCB). All
prices are for the fixed step of the common calendar and are uniform in the actual cutoffand period
when its paid stage and support margins hold. The local analytic constants are chosen before the
final history is selected; the completion introduces no new choice of primitive data. The common
root envelope in this argument uses the energy gain proved before the expansion, in its actual
order of quantifiers. For every sufficiently large odd block side L, all sufficiently large fixed window
widths W admit a number κ > 0 and a coupling threshold such that
κ tsf(β, L)2 nseed ≤Eassessed
(ASP5)
for every admitted tube, sector, tree and packet store above that threshold. Here nseed is its number
of charged seeds, tsf its small-field threshold and Eassessed the sum of the actual fine, coarse and
mismatch departure costs. The assignment of those costs to packet cores, the paid annuli and
the three clipping ranges was proved in the energy chapter. Formula (ASP5) is a per-seed energy
statement; the expansion additionally uses the support census, normalization expenses and reserves
(ASP3)–(ASP4).
For adjacent scheduled profiles use the same angular covers for both copies of (ASP5). They
provide one positive coefficient for each of the two requests; replace both by their smaller value and
increase the common coupling threshold. The geometric block factor is fixed before these choices.
The resulting calendar delays are chosen above both thresholds, and its actual coupling update
identifies the next small-field threshold with the one in (ASP5). Every admitted step therefore has
the claimed bound with the same charged seeds and the same angular read sets. The pointwise
domination obtained this way gives one nonnegative envelope for all the signed entries, including
when a parameter path changes which sector is active. Combining it with the tree and collar sums
proves the all-root envelope used above.
Source–readout formulation.
The step maps of the forward recipe were defined in Theo-

a guide and a forest which the evaluated density does not see. The method’s descent criterion asks
whether the step is constant on the fibres of “choice of presentation”, so that it defines a map of
the normed activity data (λ, A) ∈R× bHP themselves. The derivation above proves this and proves
analyticity of the descended map.
Lemma 14.27 (Signed-combination bounds are series bounds). If f(t) = P
n(t/p)nan with
P
n ∥an∥≤C then f has comparison price C at radius p. Conversely, if f has comparison price C
at radius p, then for every p′ < p it is given on [−1, 1] by an absolutely convergent series in t/p′
with coefficients an, ∥an∥≤C at radius p.
Proof. The first statement interchanges a finite sum with an absolutely convergent series.
For
the converse consider the moment vectors m(t) = ((t/p)n)n ∈l∞.
The hypothesis says that
P
j cjm(tj) 7→P
j cjf(tj) is a well-defined linear map of norm at most C on their span, hence
on its closure. The coordinate vectors lie in that closure: subtract the already recovered lower
coordinates from m(t) at small t ̸= 0, divide by (t/p)n and let t →0.
Their images are the
coefficients an, and m(t) = P
n(t/p)nen converges in norm after restriction to radius p′ < p by the
geometric majorant.
Theorem 14.28 (Single-valued analytic step maps).
1. (Descent.) The output activity and scalar correction depend only on the coupling and activity
data of the input, not on the representative, guide or forest: for two representatives with
identical data, the signed measure δt −δ0 on a constant line has moment price at most |t| for
q ≥4, so the output differences are bounded by d|t| and fi|t| for every t ̸= 0, hence vanish.
2. Choose q ≥4 with

128.
Then on the window Ω−1/32λ ∈[17/20, 23/20], ∥A∥P ≤1/8 the maps Φi (activity) and ∆i

∥Φi(y) −Φi(x)∥≤8γ∥y −x∥,
|∆i(y) −∆i(x)| ≤8fi∥y −x∥.
Proof. (1) is as stated; it applies (LCN3) to the two-point measure. (2) Recover the line series at
radius q/4 by Lemma 14.27. Polarization makes the degree-n coefficient a symmetric multilinear
map: the finite-difference formula divides by n!, has 2n summands and each sum of n unit vectors
has norm at most n; nn/n! ≤en gives (LCN5). For increments z, z′ of norm at most 1/4 telescoping
each diagonal gives

n≥1
n(1/4)n−1∥z −z′∥C = 16

so the local Lipschitz constants are 2γ and 4fi. For two centres at distance greater than 1/4, (LCN3)
on singleton measures bounds the differences by 2d ≤γ and 2fi, which are at most 8γ∥y −x∥and
8fi∥y −x∥.

Part (1) is the descent criterion in its exact form: the step maps are constant on the fibres of the
presentation, so they are well defined on the common normed presentation R × bHP . With si = 2fi
the constants are the scalar constant 4si and the activity constant 8γ used in the stability argument
below. The exponent 301 is the actual finite interpolation order of the supplied construction; ana-
lyticity of the descended maps is a consequence of the signed-moment bounds through Lemma 14.27
and is not an additional hypothesis. In the frame realization the activity space and its norm are
transported isometrically by Theorem 9.4, and the step maps are intertwined by Theorem 14.20;
the Lipschitz constants (LCN7) are therefore the same numbers for the lifted maps. The exactness
class is exact recovery of the maps together with their norms.
14.20
Stability of finite calibration and its comparison weights
The retained forward recipe also gives quantitative stability of the complete finite trajectory under
changes of its bottom coupling. This is the finite statement behind the auxiliary trajectories in the
uniqueness argument. Write xi = bβi and define
wi = x−1/32
i
,
bi = xiwi = x31/32
i
,
λi =
p
βi/xi
wi
,
βi = xi(wiλi)2.
(FCB1)
The positive square root is used. By (FCA8), wiλi ∈[17/20, 23/20]; this wider interval contains
[
p
3/4,
p
5/4]. The activity coordinate Xi is its image in the common completed activity chart.
At a fixed finite horizon all these coordinates live in one finite product of their scalar and activity
spaces.
Let γ = 1/128. The actual local analytic comparison, including the initial state at N, bounds
differences of activity outputs by 8γ times the maximum input-coordinate difference. Its scalar
correction output has Lipschitz bound 4si times that maximum. The weights are explicitly
si = 2 choresi
θ2
i
,
choresi = v Cstage(i)x−11/10
i
,
(FCB2)
where v > 0 is the fixed comparison cost and Cj > 0 the stage’s local analytic price. The common
small-field threshold is θi = x−1/2
i
exp((log log xi)2). Thus si ≤2vCstage(i)x−1/10
i
. These comparison
bounds apply to the same retained primitive operation at both points, as ensured by its fixed layout
and choices.
The calendar pays the cumulative weight inequality
X
j<i
sj ≤γbi,
b0 ≤bi.
(FCB3)
Here is its derivation from delays. At a fixed stage transition the positive reference increment is
a = s log L > 0. The mean value theorem, for x ≥a, gives
(x + a)31/32 −x31/32 ≥a 31
32 2−1/32x−1/32.
Since x−1/10/x−1/32 →0, eventually the upper bound in (FCB2) is at most γ times this increment.
Include this one eventual threshold in the coupling-entry delay for each of the two allowed adjacent-
stage possibilities. It follows at every realized step that si ≤γ(bi+1−bi). Summing gives P
j<i sj ≤
γ(bi −b0) ≤γbi. Positivity and monotonicity of xi give b0 ≤bi. Thus (FCB3) is a consequence of
the same schedule, not a supplementary assumption on a chosen pair of trajectories.

Compare two successful trajectories of the deterministic recipe, with bottom-coupling difference

The local comparisons give ∥X′

On the other hand (FCB1) factors their difference exactly as
β′

The last factor is at least 17/10 > 1. Equations (FCB3)–(FCB4) imply
|λ′
i −λi| ≤|δ|
bi
+ 4γU ≤|δ|
b0
+ 4γU.
Taking the maximum over all levels and both coordinates proves
U ≤|δ|
b0
+ 8γU,
U ≤2|δ|/b0.
(FCB5)
Only finite products and finite sums occur at this stage.
If δ = 0, (FCB5) gives identical finest normalized couplings, hence identical finest actual cou-
plings. Their startup states are equal by their fixed startup rule. Descending determinism of the
primitive recipe then gives equality of all represented states. Thus the successful finite trajectory
with a prescribed bottom value is unique within this retained recipe, although monotonicity of a
scalar coarse readout was unnecessary for existence.
The arcs prove existence for every bottom value in the nearby interval. Combining them with
(FCB5) gives continuous dependence of its normalized scalar and activity coordinates on that value,
on the same finite calendar. For example, choose a bottom perturbation |δ| ≤(l/4)b0, with the fixed
small comparison radius l> 0, and small enough to stay in [3 ̄β/4, 5 ̄β/4]. Then U ≤l/2, placing the
entire perturbed trajectory inside the common analytic comparison neighborhood. This constructs
the nearby finite trajectories used in passing local comparison estimates to banked limits. Equations
(FCB1)–(FCB4) also identify explicitly the positive scalar weight and summable correction weights
in that argument.
Source–readout formulation.
The calibration of Theorem 14.24 selected a point of the fibre of
the bottom-coupling reader by the intermediate value theorem. The comparison weights now show
that this fibre, within the retained recipe, is a single point, and that the reader has a Lipschitz
inverse.
Theorem 14.29 (Injective, Lipschitz-invertible bottom reader). Let two successful trajectories of
the deterministic recipe have bottom-coupling difference δ and U = max0≤i≤N max{|λ′
i −λi|, ∥X′
i −
Xi∥}. Then
U ≤|δ|
b0
+ 8γU,
U ≤2|δ|
b0
.
In particular the successful finite trajectory with a prescribed bottom value is unique within the
retained recipe: the bottom reader BN,p of Theorem 14.24 is injective, and b∗
N,p is the unique point
of the fibre over  ̄β.

Proof. Theorem 14.28 gives ∥X′
i−Xi∥≤8γU (including the finest-state comparison) and correction
differences at most 4siU. Subtracting the coupling recursions cancels the common path coefficients,
β′
i −βi = δ −

j<i
(∆′
j −∆j),
while (FCB1) factors β′
i −βi = bi(λ′
i −λi)(wiλ′
i + wiλi) with last factor at least 17/10 > 1. With
(FCB3), |λ′
i −λi| ≤|δ|/bi + 4γU ≤|δ|/b0 + 4γU.
Taking the maximum over levels and both
coordinates gives the first inequality, and 8γ = 1/16 the second. If δ = 0 the finest normalized
couplings, hence the finest couplings, agree; the startup states are equal by the fixed startup rule
and descending determinism gives equality of all represented states.
Consequently the calibration interface has no residual multiplicity at a finite cutoff: the realized
calibrated history at (N, p) is determined by its bottom value. The qualification “within the retained
recipe” is essential.
The theorem compares trajectories of the one deterministic recipe on one
calendar; it does not compare different recipes, different calendars or different address layouts, and
the lift does not assert that those would give the same history. The weights bi and the inequalities
(FCB3) are read from the calendar c and were purchased among its entry delays.
14.21
Uniform running of the actual coupling
The drift estimate also proves the uniform running bound needed in the public theorem. Define
D0 = 0,
Di+1 = Di + di+1.
(RUN1)
For the calibrated finite history, (FCA3), βN,p,0 =  ̄β, and the exact recursion for bβi imply
|βN,p,i −bβi| ≤Di
(i ≤N).
(RUN2)
Indeed subtract the two recursions and apply the triangle inequality at each step. The right side
depends only on the calendar, so this bound is uniform in both N and p.
The stronger asymptotic drift condition of that calendar is
di+1
log Li
≤J(i + 1)−2,
J(i) −→∞.
(RUN3)
Here J(i) is the stage index, not a cutoffor period. Given ε > 0, choose j so that J(i + 1)−2 ≤ε/2
for every i ≥j. Summing (RUN3) gives, for m ≥j,
Dm ≤Dj + ε
2(τm −τj).
Since τm →∞, eventually Dj ≤(ε/2)τm. Together with (RUN2) this proves
∀ε > 0 ∃m0 ∀m ≥m0 ∀N ≥m ∀p,
|βN,p,m −bβm| ≤ετm.
(RUN4)
This is uniform control of the actual finite-cutoffcoupling, including m = N. It is stronger than
merely writing down the reference line bβm =  ̄β + sτm.
Dividing by τm > 0, and then absorbing the fixed intercept  ̄β/τm, yields

Explicitly apply (RUN4) with error ε/4, and take τm ≥4(| ̄β| + 1)/ε; the triangle inequality gives
an error smaller than ε. Taking m = N proves the bare coupling slope in the theorem, uniformly

with a coupling defined by a physical position-space observable. That separate identification, and
its normalization, are proved in the trace and Ward calculation.
Source–readout formulation.
Equation (RUN5) recovers the first quantitative clause of the
supplied public conclusion (Section 4) as a property of the calibrated realized history: the readout
Readslope(N, p) = βN,p/ log(h−1
N ) converges to s uniformly in p, with witnesses the calendar c and
the trajectories of Theorems 14.24 and 14.29. It is stronger than writing down the reference line
bβm, since it controls the actual finite-cutoffcoupling.
The regulator coupling gi of (RUN6) is
defined from the inverse action coefficient. Its leading logarithm does not by itself identify it with a
coupling defined by a physical position-space observable; that identification and its normalization
are a separate result of the trace and Ward calculation (Section 23.1). The lift keeps the two notions
as two different readers of the same realized history, and no physical significance is attached to
(RUN6) beyond the stated limit.

Convergence of interacting scale histories
Comparing one complete family of histories.
The preceding construction supplies actual
histories. To take their limit one must compare insertions, interactions, normalizations and Gaus-
sian measures in the same coordinates. A protected coordinate change z 7→z′
V (z) is therefore read
together with its Jacobian and both covariances:
LV (z) = JV (z)ρCV (z′
V (z))
ρC0(z)
.
The density in the denominator belongs to the base measure. Replacing it by the varied density
suppresses a real part of the comparison, even if the coordinate map is exact. Its determinant and
inverse responses are retained in the detailed calculation.
Activity estimates then transfer local comparisons to reset budgets, and banked contraction
gives uniqueness within the fixed recipe and calendar. It does not compare every possible recipe or
phase. Path books retain higher jets and insertion transport; the common denominator is kept in
omission comparisons. Finally the analytic tail estimates show that omitted insertion terms tend
to zero on the same normalized family. Thus the readout at a fixed retained level is recovered with
its derivatives and supports, rather than only as an unlabelled scalar limit.

where μm is product Haar and ZN,p > 0 is the original finest Wilson partition function. In particular
the denominator is not replaced by a new partition function when m changes. For positive root
weights w, the treasury estimate and exact integrated-density identity give
|Ik(P; t)| ≤Bk(t) = exp{|Λk|τk + |V |(x + y + 2)}
toll(w, t)
.
At j > k multiply both omitted polynomials P0, P1 by complex z and restore P(z); values at
one and zero are full and omitted insertions. This bound follows by applying the small-field in-
tegral bound to the represented density, bounding its vacuum bill by the treasury, and using the
exact identity between the integrated represented density and ZN,p. The paid analytic estimate
makes Y (z) = Ij(P(z); t) holomorphic for |z| < Sj = brisk(Bj) > 2. Transport through the ac-
tual retained steps to k. Retention preserves served bounds and root weights, and integration is
exact. Coefficient extraction commutes with integration as a continuous linear map on the finite-
dimensional polynomial algebra. The fixed denominator therefore gives |Y (z)| ≤Bk(t) on the disk.
For any bounded holomorphic Y on radius S > 2, radius-S/2 disks centered on [0, 1] stay inside it.
Cauchy’s estimate gives |Y ′| ≤2B/S there; segment integration yields
|Y (1) −Y (0)| ≤2B/S.
Thus omission costs at most 2Bk(t)/Sj, with root-volume cost at k. Analytic paid bounds, retained
transport and the root integral estimate are the retained substantive dependencies.
For fixed
configuration, finite modes, truncated exponentials and local field products make each restored
coefficient entire in z. Masks and flags are measurable configuration events independent of z. The
lift retains the finest denominator, omitted pair and actual transport chain. Recovery commutes
with coefficient integration and retained steps, preserving the disk bound and Cauchy comparison
at that same normalization.
15.2
Integral holomorphy and descending retention
Positive insertion weights make the weighted polynomial norm equivalent to the finite-dimensional
coefficient norm. Served envelopes and nonnegative coupling give a finite constant Y with
∥P(z, U)∥≤Y
(|z| < Sj, U ∈Cj).
Probability Haar makes this integrable.
Dominated Cauchy-circle integration, or Morera with
Fubini, proves integrated-coefficient holomorphy; masks require no configuration differentiability.
Retention descends finitely from j to k. Top scaling spends two support units. At each step the
relay identifies first-degree coefficients with the manifest, and Mark feed recovers the next manifest.
Parent maps send chosen pins correctly; matching pays occupancy and reweighting; wake data
provide local transport tales. The one-step duty bound restores the full support exponent at the
next level. Mark-push integrability supplies each stage. This induction explains why the two-unit
expenditure occurs only at the top; it does not accumulate once per step. The finite inventory and
one-step duty estimates in the marked-integration chapter establish the inputs to this induction.
The retained transport statement has a descending induction with no limiting step. The lift retains
this finite chain, manifests and paid envelopes. Recovery commutes with its kernel composition
and finite coefficient maps, preserving the common integral majorant and the nonaccumulating
exponent cost.
For an explicit chain recovery, write Pj→k for the finite composition of the actual retained Mark
kernels and bPj→k for their realized composition. The one-step kernel identity, iterated finitely, gives
bPj→kLjP(z) = LkPj→kP(z).

At every level the normalized reader is defined using the same scalar ZN,p; exact prior and coefficient
integration therefore recover
bIj(LjP(z); t) = Ij(P(z); t) = Ik(Pj→kP(z); t).
The measurable masks and the constant integrable bound Y are pulled back together. Thus the
holomorphic integrated function, its uniform Bk(t) bound and its endpoint difference are identical
on recovery. The section returns both endpoint insertions. The finite descending retention proof
restores the full exponent at each target level, so this commuting chain also preserves the single
top expenditure and the 2Bk(t)/Sj omission bound.
15.3
Comparison of varying Gaussian integrals
At a fixed step the fluctuation space has finite dimension D.
For density ρC, physical mean
displacement tX and g = β−1/2 > 0, use w = tX + gz. Translation and scalar change of variables
give
z = g−1(w −tX),
cX(w) = g−DρC(g−1(w −tX)),
Z
A(z) dνC(z) =
Z
cX(w)A(g−1(w −tX)) dw.
This retains the Jacobian and transformed integrability for vector-valued A. Covariance bounds give
ρC(z) ≤C0e−τ∥z∥2 uniformly in history and gauge-slice variable. Protected means give ∥tX∥≤B0
by finite coordinate-square summation, and the coupling window gives 0 < u ≤g−1 ≤v. For
r = g−1,
1 + ∥r(w −tX)∥≤(1 + v + vB0)(1 + ∥w∥),
e−τ∥r(w−tX)∥2 ≤eτu2B2
0e−τu2∥w∥2/2.
The latter follows from ∥w∥2 ≤2∥w −tX∥2 + 2B2
0. A fixed tested-bond face scale lies between one
and K0(1 + ∥z∥). Thus polynomially face-scale-bounded transformed integrands have the common
majorant
C1e−τu2∥w∥2/2(1 + ∥w∥)k,
Lebesgue integrable in finite dimension, uniformly in gauge-slice variable. First apply dominated
convergence at each slice point to the transformed integrand differences.
Fubini identifies the
original Gaussian integrals almost everywhere simultaneously for countably many histories. Their
norms are bounded by integrals of the two majorants. The outer gauge-slice prior is a probability
measure, so a second dominated-convergence application gives full Gaussian–gauge convergence.
The lift retains physical means, scales, densities and the fixed coordinate space. Readout preserves
the Jacobian identity and common majorant, transporting both limit passages with the same almost-
everywhere scope.
For each fixed prepared datum, define the affine physical-coordinate map TX(z) = tX + gz. Its
recovered measure is exactly
(TX)∗νC = cX(w) dw.
If RX is the realized Gaussian reader, then composition of pushforwards gives (TXRX)∗bνX =
cX(w) dw. Thus both histories can be compared on the same physical w space after readout, with
their own retained cX and inverse T −1
X ; the section recovers each inverse formula and its factor g−D.
The common scalar majorant in w is unchanged. For vector-valued integrands the inequality

transports the same dominated-convergence conclusion. The almost-everywhere identifications are
retained simultaneously for the countable history indices, and the outer probability prior carries
the same integrable constant bound. Hence recovery preserves both integrations and their specified
scope without changing the comparison variable or covariance.
15.4
Primitive derivatives and common-draft density comparison
Differentiation under the primitive integral has paid majorant
C(1 + (p facescaleK +1))j ≤C(p + 2)j facescaleKj,
since face scale is at least one. Marked derivatives have the same form; undifferentiated marked am-
plitudes have constant bound. At each fixed gauge-slice point, discrete draft choices are finite and an
ultrafilter selects one eventually. Compare histories in that common amended draft, retaining via-
bility, threshold, choices and real and imaginary ingredients. The two-stage dominated-convergence
argument then compares ordinary and marked derivatives and amplitudes. Finite reserve products
and boundary averages preserve comparison; healthy-support local identities identify these formu-
las with the actual leaflet and marked-grove germs. This is the Gaussian integral passage used in
the single-stream comparison, with all discrete masks retained inside the common draft.
A draft records slice variable, store, boundary choice, selector, scale and width.
With the
integration point fixed, paid conditions fix the last three, leaving finitely many store/boundary
pairs. One fiber belongs to the ultrafilter, since otherwise their finitely many complements would
have empty intersection. Viability transfers eventually. This does not assert constancy of continuous
slice variables along histories. The common physical fluctuation w has restart map
zβ(w) =
p
β(w −tX),
tX + β−1/2zβ(w) = w.
Protected-mean and coupling comparisons compare this map.
For steered output fields substi-
tute the common smooth steered field for w, retaining the analogous exact identity for derivative
integrands. The finite Gaussian density is
ρC(z) = (
√
2π)−D exp{−1
2 log det C −1
2zTC−1z}.
Covariance comparison, its uniform positive floor and finite inverse and determinant formulas com-
pare every factor. Fixed finite-coordinate density limits are positive, so marginal-density division
in local reweighting is legitimate. Principal restrictions inherit the floor and smooth inverse and log
determinant. Local correction factors are exactly finite Jacobian times corrected density divided by
uncorrected density. Jacobians are products of smooth link steering factors near identity, with chart
regularity through the required order. Thus the full correction factor compares through that order;
remaining vertices are handled separately. This establishes the density and local change-of-variable
factors used in the ordinary and marked integral comparisons. The lift retains discrete drafts, fixed
slice points, restart identities, principal marginals and Jacobians. Readout preserves these finite
maps and positive denominators, while retained majorants transport derivative integration without
discarding masks or complex ingredients.
The local reweighting reader on its fixed tested coordinate set D retains the base and varied
principal covariances separately:
RD(z) = JD(z) ρCV,D(zcorr
D (z))
ρC0,D(zD)
.

Here JD = det Dzcorr
D
> 0 is the original finite steering Jacobian, C0,D is the base restriction, and

of variables gives

D (z))RD(z)ρC0,D(z) dz.
Record the two covariances, the correction map, the Jacobian and their common draft. Positivity
of the base density makes the ratio well defined; composition with readout recovers each input and
hence this identity exactly, with its original integrability domain. For a smooth family with fixed
base, the covariance contribution to the varied log-density is

and
d
dt log det CV = tr(C−1
V
 ̇CV ). If the base also varies, subtract its corresponding
log-density derivative. Thus determinant and inverse derivatives are retained for their respective
matrices. Only when CV,D = C0,D does the formula specialize to the same-covariance ratio. The
positive floors and retained majorants give the stated finite-order derivative control. Likewise the
restart identity is recovered before evaluating derivative integrands.
The finite store/boundary
fiber selected at a fixed slice point is a discrete record and is unchanged by readout. These facts
preserve the pointwise comparison and its derivative majorants while leaving the continuous slice
variable under the same outer integral.
15.5
The protected change of variables and its determinant
The steering factors in the preceding ratio have the following construction. Fix a small positive
radius d, independent of the later scale delay, on which the logarithm is a left inverse of the
exponential through radius 2d. Shrink a matrix neighborhood of 1 so that log(exp a M) is analytic
for ∥a∥≤2d, and so that for group elements M it exponentiates back to exp a M when ∥a∥≤d.
These choices follow by continuity on a closed ball strictly inside the original chart. Let χd(a) be
the smooth inner-share cutoff, one on ∥a∥≤d, zero for ∥a∥≥2d. Define, with this multiplication
order,
pM(a) = χd(a){log(exp a M)−a},
ΦM(a) = a+pM(a),
jM(a) = det(1+DapM(a)). (PV1)
Outside the cutoffsupport the first expression is identically zero in a neighborhood, so the map is
smooth there regardless of the exterior values of the logarithm. On the support, smoothness follows
from the chosen analytic chart. At M = 1, pM and its derivative vanish, Φ1 = id, and j1 = 1.
Compactness of {∥a∥≤2d}, joint continuity, and the exterior zero identity supply one neigh-
borhood of M = 1 on which, uniformly for every a,
∥pM(a)∥< d/2,
∥DapM(a)∥< 1/2,
jM(a) > 0.
(PV2)
For the determinant assertion, use its continuity and its value one on the compact ball; outside the
ball it is exactly one. The derivative bound makes pM Lipschitz with constant 1/2. Thus ΦM is
injective, since equality of two images implies ∥a −b∥≤1
2∥a −b∥, and surjective, since for each
target b the contraction a 7→b−pM(a) has a fixed point. Its derivative is invertible by the Neumann
series. Consequently it is a global smooth change of real coordinates with positive Jacobian jM.
For an original coarse background V0 and a nearby background V , the correction at a fine link
is
Me = (replica V0)e(replica V )−1
e ,
u′
e = ΦMe(ue).
(PV3)
225


## Source page 229

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
The order matters: for ∥ue∥≤d,
exp u′
e (replica V )e = exp ue (replica V0)e.
(PV4)
On inactive links the fine slice input remains unchanged. On active links the identity is needed
only where their protecting cutoffs are nonzero.
Those cutoffs imply ∥u′
e∥≤8a tfield.
Choose
the scale delay so that 8a tfield ≤d/2.
Then (PV2) implies ∥ue∥≤∥u′
e∥+ ∥pMe(ue)∥≤d, so
(PV4) applies there. This proves equality of the old and new reconstructed configurations on every
protected read. A cutoffproduct vanishing at the read makes the corresponding term zero. A
nonzero product forces equality on its whole actual footprint. This argument proves the equality
for old activities, atom words, row predictions, sector profiles and their complements individually,
including the hard decisions inside them. It does not differentiate a hard decision.
Writing the physical fluctuation as u = μV0 + gz, g = β−1/2 > 0, the corresponding Gaussian
coordinate change is
z′ = g−1{ΦM(μV0 + gz) −μV }.
(PV5)
It obeys μV + gz′ = ΦM(u) exactly, and becomes the identity at V = V0. Restrict to the finite
set I of bond/color coordinates required by the ground. Each link block of (PV5) has derivative
g−1DΦMeg = DΦMe; the scalar dilation factors cancel.
The coordinate permutation between
link/color arrays and Euclidean vectors contributes no absolute determinant. Therefore
det Dz′ =
Y
e∈Ilinks
jMe(ue) > 0.
(PV6)
This is a product over tested links, with one color-space determinant per link, rather than one
determinant per color component.
Let C0, CV be the principal covariance matrices on I, with Gaussian densities ρ0, ρV . Finite-
dimensional change of variables gives for an integrable local function f

f(w)ρV (w) dw =

(PV7)
The denominator is strictly positive at every finite z. Both integrals can equivalently be written
against the original full Gaussian, since the functions depend only on the indicated marginal and
the unused coordinates integrate to one. This proves the local likelihood formula, including its
direction and normalization.
Along a smooth coarse field family based at V0, its finitely many matrices Me lie in the common
neighborhood from (PV2). Differentiation of (PV1) on the compact cutoffball gives uniform finite-
order bounds on the displacement and determinant; exterior derivatives vanish or equal those of
the constant one. Composition with the coarse family gives a displacement price of the same small
order as that family’s motion and a determinant price of order zero. Equations (PV5)–(PV7) then
supply the Gaussian score derivatives.
The covariance floor and the finite inverse/determinant
formulas control the score coefficients. The integrable Gaussian envelopes established above justify
differentiation under the integral. Thus a marked entry can remain evaluated on the fixed original
fine input: the derivatives fall on its protecting cutoff, on the smooth ordinary vertices, and on LV .
The protected equality (PV4) identifies this formula with the original integral on a neighborhood of
the base point. This is the mechanism used in the marked primitive comparisons and their product
estimates.

Source–readout formulation.
The fine configuration is a background-dependent readout of the
fluctuation, U = ReadV (u) = exp(u) replica V . Varying the background at fixed source u moves U;
the method’s horizontal operation instead varies V while holding the readout fixed, which requires
a compensating source motion HV with ReadV (HV (u)) = ReadV0(u). Equations (PV3)–(PV4) are
that horizontal lift, HV = ΦM, on the protected domain ∥ue∥≤d:
1. it exists and is unique there, because the chart logarithm is a left inverse of the exponential;
2. it is extended offthe protected domain by the cutoffto a global diffeomorphism
(Lemma 15.1); offthat domain it is not horizontal, and the residual exp(ΦM(u)) replica V ·
(exp(u) replica V0)−1 may differ from the group identity there, which is harmless because
every evaluated term carries a protecting cutoff;
3. its Jacobian is (PV6) and its measure-level expression is the likelihood LV of (PV7), which
is the exact price of transporting the Gaussian reference with the background.
In the frame realization the replica background is the readout of a raw coarse pair, replica V =
πf(replicaZ(s, B)), and Me is conjugated by the fine frame at the initial vertex of e: Me 7→r−1
x Merx,
ue 7→r−1
x uerx. Since log(exp(Ada) AdM) = Ad log(exp a M) and χd depends on the invariant norm,
ΦM is equivariant, ΦAdM ◦Ad = Ad ◦ΦM, and jM is invariant. The horizontal lift, its determinant
and LV are therefore fibre constants, recovered exactly on the identity-frame section.
Lemma 15.1. Under (PV2), ΦM is a global smooth diffeomorphism of the real color space with
positive Jacobian jM.
Proof. The injectivity, contraction-surjectivity and Neumann-series argument immediately follow-
ing (PV2) proves the claim, including positivity of the determinant. This is the same finite map;
no second extension is chosen for the source–readout formulation.
The exactness class is exact recovery on the protected domain and an explicitly retained residual
offit; what is supplied as realization data is the cutoffχd and the protected radius d, and what is
derived is the horizontal lift, its uniqueness there, its Jacobian and the likelihood.
15.6
Finite-window covariance and common activity comparisons
The form matrix evaluates selected physical rows on fixed coordinate impulses. Selection means the
row base lies outside the store’s fixed six-radius interior. Unselected rows vanish in both histories;
selected rows compare through the required derivatives by physical-row comparison. The plate is
their Gram matrix plus fixed dormant diagonal, so finite multiplication compares its entries. Each
covariance column uses its fixed reference-frame window. Principal restrictions inherit the positive
floor; smooth finite inversion with the common inverse bound compares derivatives. The scalar
density proof above consequently rests on finite inverse matrices with a common lower eigenvalue
bound.
Outside-window entries remain zero.
Embed columns and symmetrize to recover the
actual reference covariance. Protected means use these columns and local bills, so their comparison
supplies restart with coupling comparison. The inputs remain the stationary and local nonlinear
row/bill estimates. This retains the column-window construction and does not replace it by the
full plate inverse.
At fixed level and physical period use one normed presentation with fixed dictionary, supports
and threshold; its completion is only for limits. Actual retained histories lie in the original space.
The norm bounds a uniform absolute evaluated budget by C∥a∥: sum regular masses over anchors

and forced masses by chosen sites of nonempty inventories. At a fixed period one may take C to
be the number of sites times the corresponding anchored budget constant. The canonical envelope
q(a, i) = sup
U
|F(a, i, U)|
is finite, nonnegative and summable with total at most C∥a∥. Linearity gives q(a, i) ≤q(a −b, i) +
q(b, i). For Cauchy an, choose N with C∥an −aN∥≤ε/2 later, and a finite label set controlling
tails of a0, . . . , aN by ε/2. Subadditivity gives every later tail at most ε. For Cauchy an, bn with
vanishing norm difference,
|F(an, i, U) −F(bn, i, U)| ≤q(an −bn, i) ≤C∥an −bn∥
uniformly in configuration.
Fixed masks keep regular evaluation linear; actual inventories and
uniform tails are retained. Escaping subsequences of a single Cauchy activity sequence compare,
since their norm difference tends to zero by the Cauchy criterion; so do real couplings. Isometric
completion convergence suffices for the original presentation’s Cauchy property. Hence all incoming
regular, incoming forced and outgoing forced comparisons required by the two-history transfer
argument follow from the common activity Cauchy sequence. The two envelope families also have
the uniform tail property just proved.
Normalized scalar coordinates lie in fixed compact intervals at each level. Countable-product
compactness gives a diagonal escaping subsequence with all scalar limits; fixed-scalar construction
then gives activity and intermediate convergence. Repeat on every escaping subsequence. Com-
parison of banked limits at the same bottom coupling, at level zero, identifies scalar limits; the
subsequence criterion gives full scalar convergence, then full activity convergence. That compari-
son is proved in Subsection 15.11; compactness is used only to obtain the candidate limits. Winning
trajectories have the same prescribed bottom coupling  ̄β at level zero. Finite-horizon alignment
identifies their stationary paths and actual retained activity presentations, supplying the origi-
nal common-choice Cauchy sequences. The lift retains fixed windows, masks, presentation norms
and subsequence comparisons. Readout preserves the column construction and uniform envelope
bounds, and its isometric recovered presentation transports these Cauchy and limit statements with
their stated uniqueness dependency.
Explicitly, let Ej include the fixed window for covariance column j into the physical coordinate
space, and let ewin
j
be that column’s coordinate vector in the window. For physical plate Q, the
column reader and symmetrization are
vj = Ej(E∗
j QEj)−1ewin
j
,
V = (vj)j,
C = 1
2(V + V ∗).
All adjoints here use the recorded physical Euclidean metric. Realization recovers Q, Ej and the
positive principal restriction before inversion; section recovery therefore gives these same columns
and covariance, with zero exterior entries. Smooth finite inversion transports the stated derivative
comparisons on the common positive-floor domain. For activity evaluation define F Z(a, i, z) =
F(a, i, π(z)). Surjectivity provided by the section gives the exact envelope equality
sup
z |F Z(a, i, z)| = sup
U
|F(a, i, U)| = q(a, i).
Thus the recovered presentation has the same canonical envelopes, uniform finite-label tails and
norm-controlled differences. This preserves the Cauchy comparisons and their completion limits
together with the retained banked-limit uniqueness dependency.

Finite-depth trajectory approximation
At finite horizon prescribe an admissible normalized scalar script. Activity updates preserve the
norm ball 1/8 and satisfy
∥Φi(λ, x) −Φi(λ′, x′)∥≤c0 max{|λ −λ′|, ∥x −x′∥},
c0 = 1/16.
The scalar correction has the corresponding coefficient 4si. At fixed depth b, set activity to zero
and apply updates backwards, setting unused later levels to zero. Finite decreasing induction and
ball invariance keep this comparison admissible. Against any trajectory with the same scalar script,
its discrepancy at m ≤b is at most cb−m
0
, from top distance at most one (indeed 1/4). For histories
with the same fixed-level scalar limits, truncated activities at depth b converge together by finite
descending one-step comparison. Choose cb−m
0
< ε/3, then take histories late enough that their
truncations differ by less than ε/3. Both truncation errors give level-m difference below ε. Applying
to escaping subsequences gives the common limit in the complete activity space. Scalar corrections
then converge by one-step comparison with the convergent next activity. Finite initial segments
discarded to ensure all required horizons are present do not change these limits. Inputs are the same
paid contraction, ball invariance and local Gaussian/cluster/reset comparison. At finite horizon
correction is adjacent physical-coupling difference minus the committed path coefficient. Taking
these scalar limits gives the banked flow identity without infinite telescoping. This supplies the
fixed-scalar convergence used in the diagonal extraction and banked uniqueness argument.
15.8
Labelwise comparison yields reset budgets
At fixed period there are finitely many supports.
Linearity of budget mass gives P∗> 0 with
p. mass(D, t) ≤P∗t for t ≥0. This constant may depend on period. For uniform-tail majorants fn,i
and arbitrarily small fixed-label differences, set t = ε/P∗. Choose finite E with tails at most t/2 and
eventually bound each label in E by t/[2(|E| + 1)]. These bounds on E and original tails elsewhere
sum to at most t, giving weighted budget ε.
This applies to regular paid and forced all-field
differences and recovers the activity norm. Each source has a finite paid total; diagonal projection
yields t2
0|∆n| ≤C, t0 > 0. Give the source difference paid budget below t2
0ε/2. Projection linearity
then yields |∆n −∆′
n| ≤ε/2, so increments are bounded and compare. Canonical stationary path
slots and atoms have fixed supports despite coefficient changes; low homes, high footprints and
reset listing coincide. Final dictionary consumption transfers comparisons on this listing; vacuum
and coupling scalars do not affect activity comparison. Remaining coefficient families are residuals,
freshness, loans and attached logs.
The lift retains scalar scripts, truncation depth and fixed
labelled supports.
Recovery preserves finite induction and the explicit finite-head, uniform-tail
budget construction, including its fixed-period scope.
Let x[b]
m denote the zero-terminal approximation at depth b. Realize the fixed scalar script and
every update in that finite backward recursion. Since one-step readout recovers Φi, finite induction
gives
Rm(bx[b]
m) = x[b]
m,
∥xm −x[b]
m∥≤cb−m
0
.
Here Rm reads the activity presentation, whose recovered norm is the original one. Thus the same
truncation depth works for the lifted three-error comparison, and section recovery preserves its
completion limit. For the labelwise budget, the source object retains the chosen finite head E and
the nonnegative tail array. Their total bounds remain t/2 and t/2, respectively, under coefficient
readout, so the same fixed-period constant P∗gives budget ε. The diagonal projection reader then
recovers the bounded scalar increment and its vanishing difference. These identities transport the

exact finite approximation and reset-budget construction with their original order of choosing depth,
tolerance and sufficiently late histories.
15.9
Comparison of reset coefficient families
Regular reset terms are source rebates, low freshness and high freshness. Rebate and fault dif-
ferences equal the rebate and fault of the difference; the fixed reset-loss constant preserves paid
comparisons and uniform tails. For a fixed low label the slots and support are fixed and only mark
m varies. Choose once a reference mark m∗̸= 0 (unit path coefficients suffice for this algebraic
label test). Freshness is the fixed reference function times m/m∗. Coefficient comparison gives
fixed-label convergence; weighted low-mark budgets with spare exponential width give uniform
tails, since bounded-length labels form a finite set. High freshness compares its bounded scalar
parameters and actual cubic/quartic coefficients; spare-width atom budgets give tails. Finite seat
replication preserves them. The projected increment is already a bounded compared scalar. For
loans, common homes and kept tests give exactly
loanR(α, ∆) = loanR∗((m/m∗)α, (m/m∗)∆).
The direct mark is fixed. This follows from the literal loan definition: its live pair term is pro-
portional to the mark, its proxy is independent of the numerical path coefficients, and its home
and kept tests are common. Linearity makes reference-loan differences loans at scalar differences.
The all-field shape bound tends to zero uniformly, including failed-health boundaries. A common
majorant is
el/ρ|m|

2t(Bα + B∆) + 1

.
Positive residual width after spending el/ρ supplies uniform tails. Faults plus loans therefore com-
pare attached logs; rebates plus freshness compare regular resets on the original canonical enumer-
ation. Final consumption uses eli −1. For |li| ≤vi ≤B, |eli −1| ≤eBvi, preserving summable
tails. Exponential continuity on bounded compared values and the varying-configuration selection
argument give uniform fixed-label differences. Forced outputs are finite products of old hard and
increment labels with the same canonical eligibility test on both histories. Bounded-factor compari-
son survives this indicator even when it varies with history. Finite-subset product budgets preserve
tails; canonical injective drawer placement, zero elsewhere, preserves totals and tails by finite preim-
age sums. The regular embedding does likewise. Thus output arrays have the quantitative weighted
difference budgets, without differentiating hard indicators. The width hypothesis leaves a positive
exponential margin after el/ρ is spent. The lift retains reference marks, common predicates and
canonical embeddings. Readout preserves their exact factorizations and the finite-head/spare-width
tail proof, recovering the same norm convergence at health boundaries.
The final coefficient comparison has a useful quantitative recovery form. For two logarithm
values a, b with |a|, |b| ≤B, integration along their line segment gives
ea −eb = (a −b)
Z 1

eb+s(a−b) ds,
|ea −eb| ≤eB|a −b|.

section recovers each coefficient. The spare-width majorants and canonical injective placements
are retained with their original labels, so finite-head comparison plus uniform tails gives the same
weighted output difference budgets. This recovers the reset convergence at discontinuous health
boundaries through function values and common predicates.
15.10
Closing one-step activity-norm convergence
For two incoming Cauchy activity presentations with vanishing norm difference and common cou-
pling limit, canonical envelopes give regular and forced comparisons. Their common completion
limit makes their original presentation sequences Cauchy and their difference tend to zero by the
isometric embedding. Common stationary paths and kernels supply microscopic comparisons, plac-
ing actual source outputs on one listing and resetting with the same committed coefficients. The
exact update is
βout = βin + αpath + ∆source.
Projection comparison and the common stationary coefficient limit give vanishing output-coupling
difference. To recover the actual activity norm, let breg, bforce > 0 be its budget normalizations.
For target ε, choose simultaneous anchored regular and forced difference budgets below (ε/2)breg
and (ε/2)bforce. Reset tail lemmas supply these eventually; common supports and formats make
them budgets for the actual difference. The norm characterization yields at most ε/2 < ε. Thus
quantitative tails, not solely labelwise limits, prove output-norm convergence. Isometric completion
convergence supplies the incoming Cauchy hypotheses; continuity of the physical-coupling map
supplies the coupling limit. The chosen physical step identifies its actual output with the update
presentation, without selecting another representative. Its scalar correction is output minus input
coupling minus committed path coefficient, proving the fixed-input convergence used in finite-depth
approximation. The lift retains the common presentation, norm normalizations and exact update.
Readout preserves both anchored budgets and their isometric norm characterization, transporting
this one-step limit with the same reset tail dependencies.
15.11
Uniqueness of banked history limits
For two banked limits with common bottom coupling at level zero, let scalar, activity and correction
coordinates be fi, Xi, gi and their primed versions. Put di = max{|fi −f′
i|, ∥Xi −X′
i∥} and γ0 =
1/128. Finite-trajectory comparison passed to limits gives
∥Xi −X′
i∥≤8γ0di+1,
|gi −g′
i| ≤4sidi+1.
Scalar flow and base equality imply

(gj −g′
j),
bi|fi −f′
i| ≤|Ωi −Ω′
i|,

sj ≤γ0bi,
with bi > 0 and only finite sums at each i. Individual activity bounds and scalar-flow/correction
bounds give di ≤1/4. Hence D = supi di is finite and nonnegative. The activity difference is at most
8γ0D; scalar flow gives bi|fi −f′
i| ≤4D P
j<i sj ≤4γ0Dbi. Divide by bi and take the supremum
to obtain D ≤8γ0D = D/16, so D = 0. All scalar and activity limits agree. The inequalities
come from paid finite trajectories; the nearby finite trajectories are constructed by (FCA7) and
(FCB5), with positive comparison weights and cumulative bounds (FCB1)–(FCB3), and the fixed-
scalar comparison identifies their activity limits. This is the uniqueness input upgrading diagonal
subsequences. The lift retains base coupling, positive coordinate weights and finite-flow identities.

Recovery preserves those identities and the uniform bounds, transporting the same supremum
contraction with its finite-trajectory dependencies.
On the recovered activity presentation, use the transported norm on its section. The activity
readout and section are then inverse isometries there. They extend to the respective completions by
taking Cauchy representatives: if an represents a completion element, read the sequence termwise,
and its equal norm differences show independence of the representative. The extended maps still
compose to the identity. Consequently the quantitative regular and forced difference budgets above
recover the actual output completion distance as well as each evaluated coefficient. The physical
coupling update is retained as a joint scalar reader, so its three-term difference passes to the same
limit. For banked limits these isometries recover each di exactly. The bounded family therefore has
the same supremum D under readout, and the recovered finite-flow inequalities give
0 ≤D ≤D/16,
D = 0.
Section recovery returns equality of the original scalar and activity limits. Thus the uniqueness step
and the one-step norm convergence use the same completed presentation and the same quantitative
budget normalizations, retaining their finite-trajectory comparison dependencies.
15.12
Extracting stationary path coefficients and their higher jets
There is a separate extraction behind the stationary paths just used. It concerns numerical path
coefficients, not completed activity presentations. Combine all repeated occurrences of the same
transported-curvature slot in each row by adding their coefficients. Do the same for each color
component of each ordered pattern of two, three or four slots in the loop, cubic and quartic atoms.
Denote this countable coefficient array by aN,m(κ), where N is the upper horizon and m the fixed
level. The length l(κ) is the slot length or the sum of the pattern’s slot lengths. There are finitely
many keys of bounded length: a bounded-length walk has a bounded number of steps from a finite
alphabet, and there are only finitely many plaquette and color types.
The path bounds give, for each row or color component separately,
X
κ
|aN,m(κ)|eσml(κ) ≤Cm
eventually in N.
(SH1)
Here Cm is the row allowance, the loop allowance for two-slot atoms, or the common higher-atom
allowance for three- and four-slot atoms, as appropriate. An individual coefficient is bounded by
Cm, because the exponential weight is at least one. Enlarge these bounds to include the finitely
many exceptional N’s. The product of the resulting compact intervals, over the countable set of
pairs (m, κ), is compact and metrizable. Every escaping horizon sequence consequently has one
subsequence on which all these coefficients converge simultaneously.
Write its limit am(κ). For each finite set of keys, pass the inequality (SH1) to the limit. Taking
the supremum over finite sets gives (SH1) for am at the original width σm. More is true at every
strictly smaller width τ < σm:
X
κ
|aN,m(κ) −am(κ)|eτl(κ) −→0.
(SH2)
Indeed the part with length at most M is a finite sum tending to zero, whereas the remaining part
is at most
2Cme−(σm−τ)M.
(SH3)
Choose M first and then the horizon. This order proves (SH2) and permits pairing the coefficients
with every function bounded by Deτl. It also preserves the zero and first loop moments, since
232

each displacement coordinate is bounded by path length and a polynomial in length is bounded by
an exponential of any positive width. The row symbol at zero is such a pairing with a bounded
indicator of the plaquette type. Its limit preserves the finite metric identity. Color invariance passes
by the finite sum over color coordinates. Reconstructing the rows and atoms from this common
coefficient array therefore retains all the original path hypotheses and allowances.
The convergence includes derivatives of the unmasked physical functions at every order. To
justify this assertion, complexify matrix entries around a physical configuration and use inverse links
as independent conjugate-entry coordinates. The extension of a slot of length lis a holomorphic
polynomial bounded on a sufficiently small common ball by Ceτl. A product of q slots has the same
bound with Cq and the sum of their lengths. Equations (SH2)–(SH3) give uniform convergence of
the row and atom series on that ball. Cauchy’s integral formula on a smaller ball gives convergence
of each derivative, with its fixed radius loss and factorial. Restricting to real smooth parameter
curves then gives convergence of all real Fréchet jets. This argument applies to the actual group
words; no finite cutoffof the limiting path is substituted for them.
For completeness, the stationary-graph derivative argument used to pass through the nonlinear
minimization is as follows. Let PN(x, y) be the finite profile, let P be its limit, and let y = uN(x),
y = u(x) be their analytic stationary branches through zero. Put FN = ∂yPN, F = ∂yP, and
HN = DyFN(0, 0),
H = DyF(0, 0).
(SH4)
The preceding all-order convergence implies convergence of every jet of FN, in particular HN →
H. The stationary gap makes these vertical Hessians invertible. Inversion is continuous near the
invertible H, so H−1
N
→H−1. This is the inverse needed here, acting from vertical covectors to
vertical vectors.
Differentiate FN(x, uN(x)) = 0 repeatedly. With gN(x) = (x, uN(x)), the exact diagonal chain
rule is a finite sum over partitions π of the derivative slots:
0 =
X
π
D|π|FN(0)[ D|B|gN(0)[v|B|] : B ∈π ].
(SH5)
The single-block term contains HNDkuN(0)[vk] and the known horizontal derivative Dk id(0)[vk].
Every other block has size less than k. Thus (SH5), solved by H−1
N , proves convergence of the k-th
derivative by induction from the lower derivatives. In an ordered-partition convention identical
single-block contributions are grouped with their positive multiplicity; dividing by that multiplicity
gives the same recursion. Polarization of symmetric real multilinear forms supplies mixed deriva-
tives. The case k = 0 is uN(0) = u(0) = 0. Composing the convergent graph jets with the profile
jets proves convergence of all stationary value jets.
There is also a precise cancellation at the first unmatched profile order. On a stationary graph
g = (id, u),
DP(0)[(0, w)] = 0,
D2P(0)[Dg(0)v, (0, w)] = 0.
(SH6)
The first equation is stationarity at zero; differentiate stationarity once to obtain the second, and
use Hessian symmetry for the reversed order. Suppose P, Q agree through order k + 2. Their
stationary graph jets agree through order k + 1, by the recursion above. In the chain rule at order
k + 3, any term involving a graph derivative of order at least k + 2 has either one block or two
blocks with the other block of size one. These are exactly the terms killed by (SH6). All remaining
graph derivatives match. Moreover the difference P −Q has zero jets through order k + 2, so its
composition at order k + 3 has only the all-singleton partition. Consequently
Dk+3(P ◦g −Q ◦h)(0)[vk+3] = Dk+3(P −Q)(0)[(Dg(0)v)k+3].
(SH7)

This is the stationary value identity used for the cubic and quartic response comparisons (k = 0, 1);
higher unknown graph derivatives have not been discarded without compensation.
In the lattice profile, the linear map in (SH7) is the derivative of the actual fine logarithmic
inclusion of the slice graph. Its derivative is the fine stretching map applied to (v, Du(0)v). A
different tree-gauge representative changes it by an exact lattice gradient. Gauge invariance, to-
gether with vanishing of all lower jets of the profile difference, makes its first nonzero derivative
insensitive to such a gradient: differentiate the gauge identity and observe that every correction in-
volving a nonlinear gauge derivative multiplies a lower, zero profile jet. Hence the stationary matrix
response and its tree-extracted version give the same first unmatched value. Passing an eventual
one-sided bound through the convergent branch derivatives proves the corresponding bound for the
limiting coarse profile. Interchanging the two profiles gives the reverse bound. This is the response
comparison used together with the decay and base matching estimates in the stationary-history
construction.
The one-loop profile also has a literal decomposition before passage to the limit:

(SH8)
The determinant is nonzero at zero by the same positive vertical Hessian. Determinant is polynomial
in its entries, logarithm is analytic near this positive value, and the Haar logarithms are analytic in
the common chart. The jet convergence just proved therefore applies to (SH8), including its second
jet. A finite inequality comparing this second jet to the adjacent draft (the coupling coefficient
times the quadratic action plus its loop action) passes to the limit by continuity of absolute value.
Field-independent scalar offsets are not identified by this argument.
Finally the extra physical covariance and response rows have their own quantitative, full-
sequence convergence.
In their weighted row and column norms the finite suppliers give, for
i < N ≤M,
∥UN,i −UM,i∥row, ∥UN,i −UM,i∥col ≤B clockk(i + 1)r
 aN

,
c > 0.
(SH9)
For the covariance row the distance weight has exponent σ/Li at unit output scale; for the response
row it has exponent σ at output scale Li. Since aN →0, (SH9) gives an entrywise Cauchy limit. Fix
a finite set in a weighted row or column, pass its absolute sum to the limit M →∞, and then take
the supremum over finite sets. This retains (SH9) with U∞,i in place of UM,i, in both norms and
at precisely these scales. The limits thus supply the physical rows on the same common witnesses,
with quantitative tails; they are not an additional independently chosen stationary subsequence.
There is a further full-sequence assertion for the actual metric rows, which we separate from
book extraction. At every fixed torus, the unamended diagonal matrix has the limit given by flat
quadratic convergence. Its inverse matrices have entry bounds from one common positive strip
allowance. A finite-dimensional compactness argument shows that the limiting diagonal matrix is
invertible: extract any convergent subsequence of the bounded inverses, pass the identity DND−1
N =
1 to the limit, and obtain a right inverse of D. A square matrix with a right inverse is invertible.
Continuity of inversion then proves convergence of the entire sequence of inverses, independently
of the extracted subsequence.
For the actual amended rows the prescribed construction, not merely agreement on curls, gives
at that torus

where u is the fixed amendment coefficient at this level. All operations are continuous finite matrix
operations. Thus M−1
N converges. Its inverse MN converges by the same bounded-inverse argument,
using the metric’s original strip allowance. This explains why the amendment must be retained
from the same construction; agreement of potential Hessians alone would not imply (SH10).
To recover cover coefficients from these all-period limits, take two possible coefficient limits
R, R′ of a uniformly exponentially bounded row. Their folded kernels agree on every scheduled
torus. Fix a cover displacement z and choose a torus whose centered box contains z. The folded
coefficient at its residue is R(z) plus the other congruent coefficients. Their sum is bounded by
a constant times the exponential tail outside that box, uniformly in the history index. As the
scheduled periods grow, this tail tends to zero, hence R(z) = R′(z). Compact coefficient extraction
therefore has only one possible limit; the full row converges coefficientwise. Splitting into a finite
displacement set and its exponentially bounded complement proves convergence in every strictly
smaller strip norm, exactly as in (SH2)–(SH3). The argument applies to the diagonal, its dual and
the amended metric. The physical covariance and response rows have in addition the rate (SH9).
The extraction (SH1)–(SH3) for nonlinear path books alone remains subsequential. The auxil-
iary response comparison is used through exactly the orders it supplies: base matching through the
second jet, then cubic and quartic comparisons (SH7), and the loop second-jet comparison (SH8).
In particular any two extractions share the second profile jet, since it is the same quadratic matrix
limit just proved. The recursive first-unmatched-jet argument compares the next two jets with their
stated bounds. It does not assert equality of arbitrary all-order path books or field-independent
scalar offsets. Whenever the subsequent primitive-continuity argument uses common path coef-
ficients, its two sequences are taken from the already selected common book refinement.
Full
quadratic-row convergence and retained nonlinear-book convergence thus have different, explicit
scopes.
Source–readout formulation.
Two different kinds of limit object are produced in this subsec-
tion, and the lift must keep them apart because they have different fibres. The coefficient array
of a nonlinear path book is extracted from a compact set; its limit is a selected point, and differ-
ent extractions may select different points. The quadratic rows have full-sequence limits and are
determined. The following two statements say exactly which readers are insensitive to the selection.
Proposition 15.2 (First unmatched stationary value). On a stationary graph g = (id, u),
DP(0)[(0, w)] = 0,
D2P(0)[Dg(0)v, (0, w)] = 0.
If profiles P, Q with stationary graphs g, h agree through order k + 2, then
Dk+3(P ◦g −Q ◦h)(0)[vk+3] = Dk+3(P −Q)(0)[(Dg(0)v)k+3].
Proof. The first identity in (SH6) is stationarity at zero, the second its derivative along the graph
with Hessian symmetry. If P, Q agree through order k + 2 then ∂yP, ∂yQ agree through order k + 1
and the recursion (SH5) gives equal graph jets through order k + 1. In the chain rule at order
k + 3 a term containing a graph derivative of order at least k + 2 has one block, or two blocks the
other of size one; these are exactly the terms annihilated by (SH6). All remaining graph derivatives
match, and P −Q, having zero jets through order k + 2, contributes at order k + 3 only through
the all-singleton partition.
Proposition 15.3 (Two scopes of convergence).

1. Quadratic rows (diagonal, dual, amended metric, covariance, response): full-sequence conver-
gence on the common witnesses, with the rate (SH9) for the covariance and response rows.
The folding readout from cover coefficients to the family of all scheduled tori is injective on
exponentially bounded rows.
2. Nonlinear path books (SH1)–(SH3): subsequential convergence only. Two extractions share
the second profile jet (the quadratic matrix limit of (1)) and are compared at the next two jets
by (SH7) and at the loop second jet by (SH8); equality of all-order books or of field-independent
scalar offsets is not asserted.
Whenever a later argument uses common path coefficients, its two sequences are taken from the
already selected common book refinement.
Proof. Both parts collect what was proved above; injectivity of folding is the tail argument for
R = R′.
The source record is the pair (book refinement, quadratic row limits). The first component is
a selected point of a compact set (a non-canonical choice, recorded with its refinement map); the
second is determined. The readers used later are exactly the jets listed in Proposition 15.3(2) and
the rows of (1); a reader of higher book jets would not be constant on the fibre of extractions and
is never applied. This is the method’s distinction between a recovered quantity and a retained
witness, and it is the reason the common family is assembled from one composed refinement.
15.13
Retained coefficients recover physical row comparisons
At a fixed step the retained-history comparison data consist of the limits of the upper and lower
path books, hence of their quadratic, cubic and quartic atom coefficients, along the single common
horizon refinement selected in (SH1)–(SH3). They also include the three cover-kernel limits and
the coupling and activity limits. Here two escaping subsequences mean two subsequences of that
retained horizon refinement; both therefore have the same book limits. This is not an assertion that
arbitrary subsequential path books extracted before the refinement are equal (Proposition 15.3).
The coupling comparison is passed to the same tail ultrafilter, while the retained activity com-
parisons supply the regular-occurrence and forced-coefficient evaluations at arbitrary varying fine
configurations. This constructs the comparison data for the local formulas. The full fixed-volume
limit of the Wilson smeared integrals is a separate conclusion, proved in Subsection 18.4; it is not
obtained by declaring path-book compactness to be full convergence. Cutoffs make physical linear
expressions finite: bounded-length canonical paths have finitely many plane/displacement labels.
Shortening is therefore a finite compared-coefficient sum of transported curvature slots; its direct
branch is fixed curvature. Coarse kernels at cutoffk retain bounded cover displacements. Fine-to-
coarse route length is |Lz −lift(r)|1, with | lift(r)|1 ≤4L, so retained displacements lie in radius
k + 4L. Common endpoint and cutoffpredicates leave finite sums along the same routes. Smooth
word multiplication, inversion and adjoints compare all three kernels through derivatives. Coarse
vision contracts these kernels with compared plotted fields. Linear direction rows are fixed curl, fi-
nite cutoffcurl sums or fixed coarse noise maps. Signed displacement and carrier transport preserve
comparison; reversed links retain their negative adjoint and shifted base. Nonlinear rows retain their
actual clipped fine parts, coarse-response half-squares and cross terms, wire deficit/noise square,
negative coarse deficit with two departure terms, and tight-response half-square. Fine kept/clipped
tests are bounded common factors on the same fine configuration; no limit through their indicators
is required. Regular sources use occurrence comparisons; atom and tail sources retain compared
coefficients and actual masked words. These give the row and inherited-source comparisons feeding
236

packets and means. The underlying retained stationary and activity convergence is the history in-
put, whose extraction must use the common choices described in the construction. The lift retains
finite route labels, branch predicates and signed base shifts. Recovery preserves every finite smooth
expression and common bounded indicator, transporting derivative comparison with the original
retained-history dependencies.
For a fixed cutoffrow, let Jk be its retained finite path or route labels. Its coefficient-dependent
part has the reader
Tn(U) =
X
i∈Jk
cn,iSi(U).
Realization retains Jk, the route words and their signed bases, giving T Z
n = Tn ◦π and section

n σ = Tn. On the recorded local smooth domain, any tested derivative Dr obeys

n,i| ∥DrSi∥.
Finite labels and the retained slot bounds therefore recover the same derivative comparison. Com-
mon endpoint, cutoffand health predicates multiply the compared coefficient values with the same
bounds; derivatives of the smooth expressions are recovered on their original domains before these
hard predicates are evaluated. Signed reversal and carrier conjugation keep their recorded word
order. Thus the finite physical-row comparison is transported through explicit readers with its
actual cutoffand inherited-history inputs.
15.14
Mean, local sources and ordered chain comparisons
Selected strain is free residual vision plus the physical row applied to saved log and hot fluctuation.
The draft fixes selection and hot sets; saved logs are the same all-argument local functions with
uniform derivative bounds, while dormant lens contributions vanish. Fine residuals compare base
stroke minus coarse vision. Noise base strokes are common and have derivative bounds on the
clean hull supplied by viability and selection; subtracting compared vision gives their comparison
on selected rows. The bill vector is transpose form applied to zero-fluctuation strains with orig-
inal scaling. The protected mean is minus the transpose window-column matrix applied to that
bill. Finite matrix operations compare both and the stationary defect −√β(plate μ + bill). The
coupling-window lower endpoint makes square roots and reciprocals valid. Chain factors are ordered
negative plate–covariance defects followed by the terminal plate factor. Finite products preserve
order; quadratic fluctuation and linear defect contractions compare, as do smooth cone cutoffs in
squared norms. Blank chains use the viable empty store and identity field with the common plate
floor. Condensation is half the blank-minus-actual local determinant difference. The cutoffHaar
logarithm is smooth at all arguments: inside support its argument has strict margin within the
positive chart, outside it is locally zero, and the margin includes cutoffboundaries. This justifies
its use in products without extending an uncut logarithm beyond its domain. The actual packet
log is

−|pens| log(chartMass(β)).
Chalky is posted root energy minus selected quadratic costs; crispy is that cost at the protected
mean. Costs sum squared strains over actual parent rows. Chart mass is positive and continuous

at the positive coupling limit.
All indexing sets are draft-fixed and finite.
Thus strain, root-
energy and determinant comparisons recover the packet log with its original normalizer. The lift
retains transpose placements, terminal factors, chart margins and all finite index sets. Readout
preserves these expressions and derivative comparisons on the selected clean hull, including the
cutoffboundaries.
The protected-mean reader retains the window-column matrix V and physical bill b, so it is
exactly
μ = −V Tb,
δstat = −
p
β (Qμ + b),
with Q the physical plate and all transposes taken in its original coordinate metrics. Read these
arrays componentwise before evaluating the formulas.
Composition with readout preserves the
displayed operations, and the section recovers both vectors and the sign of the defect. Likewise
a finite chain reader records its ordered factor list (T1, . . . , Tn, Qterm) and evaluates T1 · · · TnQterm
in that order. Realization retains this list, so its contractions and terminal plate are recovered
without commuting factors.
The actual and blank lists remain separate records.
Their local
determinant readers consequently recover the original half-difference.
Finally all finite sums in
the packet logarithm, including the positive chart-mass reader and the pen count, commute with
readout and section. This recovers the packet normalizer alongside its energy, Haar and chain
sources on the original chart domains.
15.15
Four vertex comparisons and marked primitives
Fix the common draft. After fixing the draft, the ordinary integrand has the same four vertex
types as its absolute activity bound. Packet connectedness and containment/empty-flag tests are
fixed; failed branches vanish in both histories. Otherwise the packet is its compared energy ex-
ponential times common bounded contracts, tickets and profiles and compared smooth cutoffon
the enlarged plaza. Fine-input factors may vary with history but agree across the comparison; no
ticket indicator limit is required. Their output-field dependence uses the already chosen smooth
wire profile. Forced vertices use actual forced-coefficient comparison on the same fine input and
the cutoffon their true footprint. Regular vertices compare logarithms, then exponentiate and
subtract one. Inherited, Short, condensation, Haar and chain branches retain their signs and beta
factors; posted-region, voyage and hot-exterior tests agree.
The nonzero branches use the pro-
tected mean, covariance/window, local logarithm and row comparisons already needed for these
expressions, with the actual signs and factors of β retained. Warnings retain fixed mandatory/hot
predicates, compared cutoffs and bounded common fine profiles or contract charges minus reference
constants; exterior cones are smooth in compared fluctuations. Mandatory branches agree exactly.
Finite products and density multiplication compare transformed integrands. Derivatives use the
local smooth extended formulas, fixed fine input and compared steering/restart coordinates, identi-
fied with the actual differentiated integrand near the healthy base. These statements compare the
true vertices rather than replacing hard indicators by smooth approximations.
A marked premium tests whether its fixed badge occurs.
Absent badges give zero; present
badges replace exactly one vertex by the paid ingredient and retain the erased-badge product. At
fixed physical fluctuation the fine configuration is common. Mark-entry comparison on that possibly
varying input, common enforcement cutoff, compared remaining product and Gaussian density give
amplitude comparison on the eventually viable set. For derivatives the marked entry stays at the
fixed reconstructed input; output derivatives act on smooth steered cutoffs and remaining vertices
through the local reweighting identity.
Steering, ordinary factors and Gaussian ratio/Jacobian
comparisons therefore give the actual derivative integrand.
The common Gaussian-polynomial
majorant permits integration; finite forest and boundary averages compare the marked grove. Its

all-field bound also compares uncut amplitudes at arbitrary varying output fields, using the fixed-
draft argument at each slice point. These supply regular one-mark stream and forced-reset inputs.
This explains why convergence of mark entries under varying-configuration evaluation is sufficient
here.
The lift retains badge identities, all hard predicates and the exact local reconstruction.
Readout preserves the branchwise products and derivative identities with the same viability scope
and common integrable majorants.

Here Mb is the original paid ingredient, Γb its enforcement cutoffand Vv the actual ordinary vertex
readers. The density factor is then that of the same fixed local data. Realization retains the badge,
erased list, common reconstructed fine configuration and all branch predicates, so composition with
readout preserves this product and the section recovers it. The smooth local derivative identity
holds with Ufine fixed: derivatives act on the recorded steering, cutoff, remaining vertices and
reweighting factors. Thus recovery asks for the stated varying-input comparison of Mb, with no
additional derivative assumption on that evaluated mark entry. The common integral majorant and
finite averages transport the same amplitude and derivative conclusions, including the absent-badge
zero branch.

Uniform derivative comparison of a cluster stream
A one-mark stream with r occurrences is its Ursell coefficient over r! times Pr
ν=1 lν
Q
μ̸=ν uμ. Its
support is the occurrence union when its fixed mark key speaks to the label inventory, and the
zero alternative otherwise. Supports agree across histories; silent streams vanish. Bounds aμ, bμ
through order j give ordered product bill (1 + r)jbν
Q
μ̸=ν aμ.
Inflate each bound by 2j, using
1+r ≤2r. Take ordinary bounds as the smaller primitive envelope and purchased budget, preserving
tails. A positive reserve d, selected by the one-mark budget argument, makes the inflated array
fμ = 2jaμ + d 2jbμ fit the connected-cluster reserve. Nonnegative expansion shows
d

Thus d−1 times its ordinary absolute cluster weight gives a uniformly summable stream bill with
small tails, retaining Ursell and factorial normalization. On healthy unions every occurrence is
healthy; primitive comparisons and finite differentiation compare fixed streams through order j.
Tail-ultrafilter comparison implies ordinary test-family convergence.
If uniform order-k bounds
on allowed maps and healthy bases failed, select violating maps at bad indices; their sequence
contradicts this comparison. Intersect the finitely many late cutoffs for 0 ≤k ≤j. For arbitrary
parameter directions use

preserves allowed bounds; a test tolerance b/(k + 1)k yields full multilinear operator bound b.
Separate primitive bills supply smoothness at healthy bases; masks are not differentiated. At fixed
period choose finite Y bounding 1 + dist(x, y). Conversion to anchored directions costs at most
Y p. power j, paid by shrinking tolerance first. Identity ensures the healthy test set is nonempty. Treat

real and imaginary streams separately, retain normalization and embed by zero in the common
enumeration. The lift retains occurrence supports, allowed maps and normalizations. Recovery
preserves this finite differentiation and contradiction argument, with its fixed-period conversion
and summable tails.

The speaking predicate, ordered occurrences and marked position stay in the record. The algebra-
map identity gives SZ
ω = Sω ◦π and section recovery, including repeated labels and silent streams.
For any allowed physical parameter map a, its section lift σ ◦a satisfies SZ
ω ◦σ ◦a = Sω ◦a
on the same healthy domain. Thus all tested derivatives and the multilinear rescaling by L are
identical on recovery. The paid norm on section directions is transported from that original allowed
class. The retained nonnegative inflated-product bound consequently supplies the same summable
stream envelopes and tails. Applying the finite uniform-test argument and then the fixed-period
anchored conversion recovers the original paid derivative comparison, with its Ursell coefficient and
occurrence factorial unchanged.
15.17
Microscopic comparisons through projection
Regular comparison uses common supports, uniformly summable paid tails and arbitrarily small
fixed-label derivative differences. Forced comparison uses uniform absolute tails and convergence at
every varying configuration sequence. The latter implies uniform smallness by selecting violating
configurations if necessary, without mask continuity. Finite-head/tail splitting proves dominated-
series comparison: finite label differences vanish and both uniform tails can be made arbitrarily
small. This permits varying evaluations, barcode sums, fixed injective zero extensions and scalar
combinations. Products compare by fg −f′g′ = (f −f′)g + f′(g −g′); total absolute bounds times
tail budgets control their tails. For the fixed weighted local section projection Π of price Cread,
collected core is seed plus projected bulk sum, and
|Π(f −g)|1 ≤Cread paidBound(f −g).
Linearity and summable projected tails give core comparison when seeds compare.
Common-
threshold residual and rebate operations are linear; their fixed price controls enlarged-support
regular residuals and all-field rebates of differences and preserves tails. Canonical zero extension
keeps regular comparison. The new forced profile is old profile plus the threshold hook of collected
rebates. Hooks sum support classes times compatible forced products. Common address data pre-
serve discrete tests; compared numerical factors, finite products and summable product budgets
preserve forced comparison after multiplying rebates and summing. The keeper barcode embedding
preserves convergence and tails. Thus local projection and collection recover the formatted output
comparison. The lift retains common support data, projection and keeper maps; readout commutes
with their linear operations and absolute series, preserving the paid and all-field bounds without
differentiating indicators.
The core collection reader has the explicit convergent expression
cout = cseed +
X
i
Πfi.
The source object records the same weighted projection and its output coordinates. Define its
realized projection by first recovering the regular germ; section recovery then gives exactly Πfi.
240


## Source page 244

The bound Cread paidBound(fi) is unchanged and summable, so finite partial sums followed by
their limits recover cout. For two inputs and a finite head E, its difference satisfies
|∆cout|1 ≤|∆cseed|1 + Cread
X
i∈E
paidBound(∆fi) + Cread
X
i/∈E
(bi + b′
i).
The retained uniform tails and fixed-label comparisons recover each term of this bound. Resid-
ual, rebate and hook readers retain their original support predicates; the canonical keeper map
is recorded with its inverse on its image and zero extension elsewhere.
Their linear identities
and summable product majorants consequently give section recovery of the full formatted output,
including its forced barcode profiles.
15.18
Common shot inputs and all-configuration comparison
For fixed capture x and frame index i, the shot merges primary insertion, regular remainder la-
bels and forced barcode labels from the same input book. Common orientation fixes threshold,
addresses and profiles; keeper stowing gives a common forced ingredient. Regular input prices are
ψp. mass(Dj, vj) and forced prices ψp. mass(Kj, cj)/κ1, with κ1 > 0. Capture wealth makes these
summable.
Primary tariffs use the larger heading and heading-plus-core price; the same array
bounds output cores and remainders. Actual regular ingredients are real/imaginary fixed masked
functions at their logarithmic keys, with weight at most vj. Forced ingredients are common stowed
functions at gas keys, with weight at most cj; zero inputs give zero outputs. Nonconstant primary
terms use the fixed masked section; constant frame terms give identical scaled units and zero forced
profile, independent of keeper presentation. These are genuine fixed ingredients across the two
histories, although their auxiliary preparation data may vary.
Fix scale, block L, degree d and dictionary. Their couplings approach each other, their regular
and forced activity coefficients have the weighted comparison already proved, and their stationary
kernels and path responses have the common limits.
The established activity, coupling, kernel
and path comparisons supply Gaussian, mean, saved-field and vertex comparisons. Common-chart
conversion preserves each ingredient, wing and weight exactly, even if preparation data vary. Each
fragrance address has the same support Eα, containing zero. Mixed marked-integral comparison
gives arbitrarily small fixed-address paid derivative differences for both real and imaginary bulk
terms, with common threshold/order and uniform marked-cluster tails. Its hypotheses are now the
identical ingredient just identified, the compared Gaussian data and vertices, and their common
summable derivative envelopes. We have therefore proved the bulk comparison, including both
regularity on the common support and the summable tails needed for projection. Multiplication by
Ld, recombination and zero extension preserve this bulk comparison. Forced output first restores
missing ordinary logs, then marked slots, then resets on common shelves. Ordinary reset compar-
isons and marked integral comparisons, finite subsets, exponentials and summable product bounds
preserve tails. The same path, threshold and rebate operations give
Fn,α(Un) −F ′
n,α(Un) −→0
for every configuration sequence Un.
(HL1)
If uniform convergence failed, choose violating configurations on a bad subsequence and arbitrary
ones elsewhere, contradicting (HL1). Uniform tails then give convergence of summed profiles by
finite-head/tail splitting. The lift retains fixed input ingredients, wing/address supports and com-
mon shelves. Recovery preserves exact ingredient equality and the paid majorant, transporting
(HL1) and its uniform consequence without mask continuity.
For each fixed ingredient label j, write Mj for its common real or imaginary input function. Its
realized reader is MZ
j = Mj ◦πf, so the two histories have identical input readers even when their
241


## Source page 245

auxiliary preparations differ. Section recovery gives MZ
j σf = Mj. Retain the same logarithmic
or gas key, wing, tariffand fragrance support with this function. The recovered summable tariff
therefore bounds both its output core and remainder with the original forced scale κ1. For the
forced output let ∆Fn,α = Fn,α −F ′
n,α. Surjective coarse readout, supplied by its section, gives
sup
z |∆Fn,α(πc(z))| = sup
U
|∆Fn,α(U)| −→0.
Thus (HL1), its uniform consequence and its uniform-tail summation are recovered on precisely
the original all-configuration domain. Real and imaginary coefficients retain their separate readers
and fixed Ld normalization before recombination. The constant-frame branch likewise recovers its
identical unit and zero forced profile through either keeper.
15.19
Summing local insertion comparisons
Real and imaginary forced comparisons recombine exactly as
Ld(Fn + iGn) −Ld(F ′
n + iG′
n) = Ld[(Fn −F ′
n) + i(Gn −G′
n)].
The primary seed already compares; linear projection, residual/rebate bounds and common keeper
extension give core convergence and arbitrarily small collected remainder on the original input
book. Local insertion differences keep common coefficient supports and orientation; append the
negative second labelled remainder to the first to form a legitimate difference. If each pair has
summable common bound fi, its difference costs at most 2fi. For target r > 0, choose finite E
with P
i/∈E 2fi ≤r/2 and eventually use r/[2(|E| + 1)] on each index in E. Total price is at most
r, so the paid merge gives that remainder bound for the full difference. Absolute convergence and
common enumeration identify it with the difference of merged insertions. Core sums converge by
the same finite-head/tail split. Finite frame and prescribed motion-chip sums preserve comparison
of shot inputs captured on the same coordinate axes. Site marks therefore have vanishing core
difference and arbitrarily small common remainder. Each actual coefficient readout is its site’s
core; recorded capture is capture under the common output keeper. The keeper difference identity
makes the difference of captures the capture of the formatted difference, whose norm is bounded
by its arbitrarily small remainder price. Thus both coefficient-isomorphism outputs and recorded
captures compare to zero, supplying the fixed-input transfer comparisons. This proves the required
forced comparison for the raw complex preparation. The lift retains labelled negative remainders,
merge enumeration, frame chips and keeper identities.
Readout preserves absolute merges and
finite sums, recovering both output comparisons with the same quantitative remainder budget.
For the merged difference retain two disjoint labelled copies, one for each history, and put the
minus sign on the second coefficient reader. Finite partial merges then satisfy the exact identity
L
 X
i∈E
(Mn,i −M′
n,i)
!
=
X
i∈E
(L Mn,i −L M′
n,i).
The summable 2fi majorant and the retained merge bounds pass this identity to the full countable
merge and recover it through the section. The chosen finite-head prices and tail prices sum to at
most r on both sides. Applying the same keeper difference reader gives
∥capture(Mn) −capture(M′
n)∥≤remainderPrice(Mn −M′
n) ≤r
eventually. The recovered finite frame and motion sums preserve this inequality. Core readers
recover the coefficient outputs separately, so both components of the transfer comparison have
exactly the original vanishing bounds and common support format.

Transfer comparison metric
In the fixed finite coefficient frame let |x|1 = P
ν |xν|. Gram data contain complex-linear captures gP
with ∥gP x∥≤a|x|1. Define P ∼ε Q by ε ≥0 and ∥gP x−gQx∥≤εa|x|1. This may be nonseparating;
it is symmetric, triangular and universally bounded by two. Coefficient-map comparison is |(S −
T)x|1 ≤ε|x|1. Finite coordinate-axis bounds imply both uniform comparisons. Adjacent actual
integrated transfers have flow Φn and isomorphism Sn, with
|x|1 ≤b|Sn(P)x|1,
|(Sn(P) −Sn(Q))x|1 ≤cε|x|1,
Φn(P) ∼ε/2 Φn(Q).
At fixed input, flows and maps are Cauchy.
Outside eventual admission the zero capture and
identity coefficient map complete total sequences. For normalization write gXV = T, gZW = U,
with map differences bounded by c0, and |x|1 ≤b|V x|1. For k = V −1i,
gXi −gZi = (Tk −Uk) + gZ(Wk −i).
The terms cost c0b|i|1 and ac0b|i|1. Thus X ∼lZ if (1 + a)c0b ≤la, using only tested coefficient
space. Escaping-subsequence comparisons on finitely many axes imply uniform map bounds, then
flow bounds by this identity. Failure of a double-tail estimate would select bad u(n), v(n) ≥n,
contradicting those subsequence comparisons. For Cauchy inputs Pn, insert a fixed late PN between
output flows: outer errors contract by half and the middle is small by fixed-input convergence.
For coefficient maps the outer errors cost c times input error. Input tolerance ε/[4(c + 1)] and
middle tolerance ε/2 give the uniform comparison.
Finally, if an eventual pairwise tail bound
failed, one could choose bad indices u(n), v(n) ≥n; both escape to infinity and contradict the
assumed subsequence convergence, which turns the subsequence statement into an actual double-
tail Cauchy estimate. The lift retains capture maps, coefficient isomorphisms and this possibly
nonseparating relation. Recovery preserves the tested-space inverse normalization and finite-axis
bounds, transporting contraction and the actual double-tail Cauchy property.
The comparison relation itself has an exact recovered model. Let J be the section realization of
the insertion-data seminormed space, with its transported seminorm, and define bgP = JgP . Then
∥bgP x −bgQx∥Z = ∥gP x −gQx∥,
so P ∼ε Q is equivalent to the lifted comparison for the same ε. The coefficient frame and its l1
norm are retained unchanged; readout recovers Sn, V −1 and each finite-axis test. Consequently the
inverse-normalization identity has exactly the original two bounds and threshold (1 + a)c0b ≤la
after recovery. The relation continues to be possibly nonseparating. Its triangle and contraction
inequalities, fixed late input, and bad-index subsequence construction are recovered with the same
errors, establishing the same double-tail Cauchy statements on the actual integrated transfer data.
15.21
Fixed-level convergence of transported insertions
At fixed physical period integrated Gram data satisfy eventually Wi,n = Ti,n. flow(Wi+1,n). Flows
halve comparison error and preserve the two-part Cauchy property. All admitted inputs compare
within two.
Replacing the input d levels up by fixed admissible data therefore costs at most
2 2−d. For fixed d finite transfers give a Cauchy approximation. Choose this error below a quarter
tolerance and use triangle inequality to prove fixed-level Gram Cauchy comparison, using only
finitely many eventual identities.
For coefficient transport suppose xn = Snyn eventually, xn
Cauchy, Sn uniformly Cauchy on bounded inputs and |v|coeff≤b|Snv|coeff. Bounded xn imply
bounded yn, and
Sn(yn −ym) = xn −xm + (Sm −Sn)ym.
243

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

Both terms tend uniformly to zero on tails, and the inverse bound proves yn Cauchy.
Finite-
dimensional norm equivalence gives ordinary convergence. Apply adjacent actual relations normal-
ized by the reference inverse. The lowest coefficient is eventually fixed terminal y; Gram comparison
and each paid inverse bound inductively give Cauchy coefficients at every fixed level, without an
infinite future product bound. For captures,
gnxn −gmxm = gn(xn −xm) + (gn −gm)xm.
Uniform capture bounds control the first term and Gram comparison on bounded coefficients the
second, giving captured-data Cauchy sequences. Escaping horizons eventually include every fixed
level with original common choices and prescribed stationary paths. History conditions retain law-
ful, scalar, activity and path budgets. Bounded coefficients times fixed normalization give uniform
insertion payment. Exponentials and forced profiles are measurable sums of masked regular terms,
with continuous pullback and the prescribed conjugation or identity. The lift retains reference in-
verses, actual adjacent maps and capture identities. Recovery preserves finite-depth approximation
and these Cauchy estimates, together with fixed-level payment and measurability for integration.
The recovered finite-level inverse argument can be written quantitatively. If |ym|coeff≤My and
∥Sn −Sm∥coeff≤εn,m, the actual adjacent identity gives
|yn −ym|coeff≤b
 |xn −xm|coeff+ εn,mMy
.
Readout retains Sn and the coefficient norm, so the same inequality holds for the realized coefficient
readers and is recovered by the section. Similarly the transported capture seminorm gives
∥gnxn −gmxm∥≤a|xn −xm|1 + ε′
n,ma|xm|1
when the Gram comparison error is ε′
n,m. Both right sides vanish on double tails at each fixed level.
The realized finite-depth approximation retains its 2 2−d error, and every proof at a chosen depth
uses the same finite set of eventual history identities. Thus coefficient and capture convergence
are recovered on the original escaping horizons, with the stated fixed-level payment bounds and
measurable readout functions available for the ensuing integral limit.
15.22
Uniform fixed-level insertion integrands
Use eventual uniform boundedness and uniform Cauchy comparison over the entire configuration
set. Eventual equality, fixed pullbacks, finite sums and products preserve this property; continuous
maps preserve it on bounded finite-dimensional ranges by uniform continuity on compact balls. For
captured data x, its masked regular sum Lx and barcode forced profile Fx,B satisfy
|Lx(U)| ≤∥x∥,
|Fx,B(U)| ≤k∥x∥.
Paid health bounds and masks bounded by one prove the first; restriction of the forced budget
proves the second. Absolute convergence makes both linear in x, including differences under fixed
masks.
Capture Cauchy therefore gives uniform remainder and profile Cauchy bounds.
Each
placed core axis is continuous on compact finite-lattice configuration space and bounded. Its mask
cannot increase that bound. Finite-axis expansion gives a uniform coefficient-Lipschitz bound, also
for the constant axis. Core Cauchy thus implies uniform masked-core comparison. Format and
capture identities identify actual exponential entries with core plus regular remainder, and actual
forced profiles with captured profiles.
Fixed motions, required conjugation and normalization
preserve these comparisons at every fixed anchor. No new normalization is chosen. Eventually

measurable uniformly Cauchy functions have Cauchy probability integrals, since integral differences
are bounded by uniform differences. Finite polynomial restoration preserves comparison by finite-
dimensional continuity; the common positive unmarked denominator permits quotient limits. The
lift retains these capture identities, masks and probability priors. Literal readout preserves the
full-domain sup bounds and hence normalized fixed-level expectations without continuity across
masks.
For the realized fixed-level readers, surjectivity of π gives
sup
z |fn(π(z)) −fm(π(z))| = sup
U
|fn(U) −fm(U)|.
Thus uniform Cauchy comparison, including every fixed mask, is exactly preserved. Prior push-
forward recovers each coefficient integral and its uniform-difference bound. To state the quotient
step quantitatively, let Nn be an integrated restored coefficient and Dn ≥d∗> 0 its unmarked
denominator. If |Nn| ≤MN, then

The recovered numerator, denominator and lower bound are identical, so the same estimate trans-
ports the normalized limit.
Section recovery returns the full-domain insertion functions before
integration, with their fixed translation, conjugation and normalization. This establishes recovery
of fixed-level expectations using the original masks and law.
15.23
Exact unmarked density and component regrouping
Fix a forest, probability Haar in its gauge coordinates and common output. Packed addresses record
store, finite warning set and labelled lists. The prescribed store layout maps these to molecules;
roster, warning ownership and lists give a left inverse, and recover every layout-admitted molecule.
Omitted addresses have zero activity. Summable vertex tariffs bound finite-subset products by
the exponential of their sum, justifying integration and finite boundary averaging.
Restricting
to the injectively encoded addresses preserves summability.
Neutrality with fixed forest makes
OX = levyX deductedX independent of store/boundary replacement; each of b boundary choices
has tribute OX/b. Integrating the expansion and then summing the finite boundary choices gives
the store’s exact cut entry. Full sector coverage yields
push(R; V ) = OX
X
p
receiptX(p).
This is a density relative to output probability Haar.
Partition actual enlarged supports into
connected components. Grounds are disjoint, and union reconstructs the molecule. Compatibility,
exact flag coverage and component layout/eligibility/flag-read tests are equivalent to union approval:
flags in another ground cannot enter a component. Plant output flags into component data and
apply its own eligibility. Local data and selected regular keys agree on its ground with union data;
locality and disjoint-ground independence, including boundary averages, therefore give

Gaussian chart masses and kernel normalizers are positive; remaining scalar factors are exponentials
or positive powers, hence OX > 0. This extensive scalar remains outside the gas before coupling
reset. The frozen data in this identity are the store and the boundary choice after the gauge slice is
fixed; the threshold, width and selector belong to the fixed paid chart. The comparison of these ex-
pressions uses the common drafts, principal covariance matrices and Gaussian densities constructed
earlier in this section, together with the bill and protected-mean comparison and the four vertex
cases. For a marked product it uses the same comparison with its finite marker coefficient retained.
The next subsection states how these addresswise comparisons pass through the common source,
its products and the reset; the signed line estimate (LCN11) gives the corresponding parameter
control. No varying discrete approval predicate is differentiated. In the realized record the frozen
pair (store, boundary choice) is a column of the primitive datum of Section 13.24, and the change of
background between compared expressions is the horizontal lift of Section 15.5. The lift retains ad-
dress inverses, planted data and scalar normalization. Recovery preserves the component bijection
and exact flag tests; absolute majorants justify reindexing and recover the unnormalized density
identity.
Let A be the permitted packed-address set and M the molecule addresses with nonzero receipt.
Record the encoding e and roster-reading inverse d. On these data de = I and ed = I; discarded
addresses carry the prescribed zero reader. The connected-component map and inverse union are
another pair of discrete inverse readers, retaining warning ownership, ground incidence and exact
flag coverage.
Their realizations therefore recover these identities before summation.

The scalar reader retains neutrality and the original boundary count, so its b contributions are
still OX/b and its positive extensive factor stays outside the gas. Section recovery returns the
unnormalized density relative to the same probability Haar prior, including all coverage-failure
zero cases. This supplies exact recovery of the address and component regroupings together with
their normalization.
15.24
Comparison of the complete common source
Fix period, order j and budget B of order at most j at the common temperature, with addresses and
trial tori fixed first. Regular comparison means common sparse summable B-seminorm envelopes
and addresswise seminorm convergence; forced comparison uses uniform norms instead. These are
stronger than pointwise comparison of the total action; the distinction permits the subsequent
products and reset operations. Local Gaussian comparison along every healthy configuration/test
sequence implies uniform derivative comparison by a violating-sequence argument. At fixed torus
choose Y ≥1+dist(x, y) and pay conversion T = Y B. power j by using tolerance ε/T. Sparse stream
envelopes multiplied by T remain valid. The forced stream uses order zero and its own sparse
integral envelopes. In particular, the ultrafilter statements used to express local Gaussian limits
here imply ordinary sequential convergence, since every free ultrafilter on every bad subsequence
would give the same contradiction. Path terms have coefficients −vn, −βn, −βn, −1 on low, cubic,
246


## Source page 250

quartic and loop terms. Weighted path arrays compare and scalars have common bounded limits.
The identity
anFn −a′
nF ′
n = an(Fn −F ′
n) + (an −a′
n)F ′
n
preserves sparse envelopes and addresswise convergence. Frame transport and averaging cost fixed
turnFee(B) Rim(c); divide tolerance accordingly. Thus the negative log stream and path terms
give full regular-source comparison, with hard-source forced comparison on the same canonical
enumeration. The enumeration used to place these terms in the common dictionary is the same
for both histories. Finite trial panels eventually lie in one finite label set and cutoffs exceed all
its labels, so panels agree. Removing selected regular terms and summing their site contributions
preserves comparison with fixed selection weights. Trial pullback through the padded shape, of
radius z, maps a healthy neighborhood into the all-healthy trial torus and costs
M = 2B. order(1 + z)B. power B. order.
Use tolerance ε/M. Finite trial/site sums with fixed ray weights give ornament regular comparison
and failed-trial forced comparison. Site correction is selected regular contribution minus its identity
value minus failed trial. Healthy identity evaluation and subtraction give its uniform comparison.
The complete source consists of unselected regular plus ornament, and original hard minus frame-
averaged site correction, on common disjoint labels. The lift retains trial panels, padded maps,
weights and enumerations. Recovery preserves these exact assemblies and fixed-parameter semi-
norm costs, recovering comparison of the labelled source rather than only its total function.
The complete-source reader retains each summand’s tag in the disjoint union: negative logarith-
mic stream, low/cubic/quartic/loop path term, unselected regular term, ornament, original hard
term and site correction. Coefficientwise lifting preserves their scalar signs and finite frame weights.
For a trial shape map θ, its recovered pullback is simply
(f ◦θ) ◦π = f ◦(θ ◦π).
The source domain retains the same healthy-neighborhood preimage, and section recovery returns
the original trial reader. Its derivative bound therefore uses the same M, while frame transport
uses the same turnFee(B) Rim(c). The eventually common panel is kept as a fixed finite address
set before removal or summation.
Its identity-value reader is recovered at the identity section.
Hence the selected-minus-identity-minus-failed site correction and the two complete-source parts
are recovered term by term, with their original sparse envelopes and seminorm tolerances. The
disjoint labels preserve comparison of the full source arrays through these assemblies.
15.25
Marked products through forced reset
A marked family un,i(t, V ) has sparse bounds on |un,i| + |∂tun,i| and comparison of value and
derivative along arbitrary configuration sequences at prescribed parameters. Compared unmarked
logarithms become constant marked families. Their factors eln,i −1 compare by mean-value bounds
on a common bounded interval, with a fixed exponential envelope multiplier. Extend all families
by zero through the same embeddings. A forced atom is a finite product of these factors times the
common eligibility indicator. The identity

compares both atom and marked derivative. The shared zero-one eligibility factor preserves differ-
ences without continuity assumptions. Sparse product bounds control finite-subset sums; further

widening is the same zero extension. Evaluate ∂t at zero to obtain the forced marked-reset com-
parison, bounded by its marked envelope. The lift retains parameterized factors, shared indicators
and embeddings. Recovery commutes with finite product differentiation and zero extension; sparse
majorants preserve the summed comparison used in the two-history output limit.
For a fixed forced address A, write its eligibility as χA(V ). The exact parameterized reader and
its derivative are

The recorded predicate is independent of t. Composition with physical readout therefore commutes
with this derivative at each fixed input; section composition recovers both expressions, including
t = 0. For the two histories the same χA multiplies their value and derivative differences, so its
absolute value at most one preserves the comparison. The zero-extension maps retain each address
and its inverse on the image. The sparse product majorant then controls the same summed readers
after realization, giving exact recovery of the forced marked reset and its derivative envelope on
the original configuration domain.
15.26
Analytic control of omitted insertion terms
One estimate needed in the continuum comparison is obtained by scaling all restored insertion
errors with a single complex parameter. For holomorphic f on |z| < S, S > 2, bounded by B,
Cauchy’s derivative estimate on radius-S/2 disks centered on [0, 1], each of which lies strictly inside
the radius-S disk, gives
|f(1) −f(0)| ≤2B/S.

with the same original positive Wilson denominator at all levels. For served P = restore(P0, P1),
set P(z) = restore(zP0, zP1) and f(z) = Stampj,t(P(z)). Then P(1) = P, and P(0) removes both
errors. Retained estimates give holomorphy and integrability on S = brisk(Bj) > 2, spending two
exponent units without changing geometric support. Transport to fixed k < j preserves served
bounds and integration. Continuous finite-dimensional coefficient extraction commutes with that
integral. The root estimate gives
|f(z)| ≤Bk,t := exp{| Sitek | treasuryk +n(x + y + 2)}
toll(wk, t)
.
Here n counts insertion slots and the toll uses positive root weights. All volume dependence is
at the fixed reporting level k; there is no exponential cost involving the increasingly fine level j.
Applying (IC1) proves
| Stampj,t(P) −Stampj,t(restore(0, 0))| ≤
Bk,t
brisk(Bj)/2.
(IC2)
The lift retains error inputs, supports, common denominator and the actual transport chain. Re-
covery preserves their complex scaling and coefficient integrals, so (IC1)–(IC2) hold with the same
reporting-level treasury and exponent margin.

The uniform omission estimate uses exact transport and the common analytic disk; it does
not require intermediate mixed-pin representations to converge. Explicitly lift the restored family
coefficientwise as bP(z) = LjP(z). The retained readout gives
\
Stampj,t( bP(z)) =
R [ bP(z)]t dμZ
j
ZN
= Stampj,t(P(z)).
This identity holds throughout the same open disk: the paid majorant supplies every integral and
the recovered error scaling leaves masks and supports fixed. Its two endpoint values are recovered
by the section. The actual finite retained-kernel composition preserves this entire scalar function
while moving its bound to reporting level k. Thus the holomorphic derivative estimate, endpoint
difference and factor brisk(Bj)/2 are identical after realization. The normalization reader keeps
ZN fixed, and the bound keeps the explicit | Sitek | cost.
Recovery of (IC2) consequently uses
the analytic family itself and its exact transport, with no additional convergence assumption on
intermediate mixed-pin representations.

Radial jets, calibrated labels and the free Maxwell comparison
hierarchy
From local coefficients to usable field labels.
The first objects are finite Taylor coefficient
spaces. Curl reads their linearized curvature, and radial reconstruction provides an explicit section
on closed homogeneous two-forms.
The Maxwell equation imposes a further condition on that
curvature. Polynomial labels are then sampled by finite local cylinders, with calibrated coefficient
maps and a free comparison hierarchy. Keeping polynomial position degree, engineering weight and
field count distinct is necessary for the later detector and scaling arguments. The free hierarchy is
a supplied comparison sector; its presence does not assert that the interacting hierarchy is free.
Before the detector on physical coefficient space can be constructed, the supplied construction
builds the label algebra, its local lattice representatives, the calibrated coefficient changes and the
complete free comparison hierarchy with its shell charges. This section gives that construction in
full, from the radial Taylor variables to the elimination of higher-degree vector and angular defects;
each subsection is followed by its source–readout formulation. The labels are the first place where
the recovery problem is posed for fields and not only for measures: a label is a source record, its
lattice cylinder is a realization, and its Taylor readings are the readout.
16.1
Radial Taylor variables and the free equation space
The jet variables in this chapter are Taylor coefficients, with the factorial already divided out. At
order j ≥0, a radial potential coefficient is a family Ai of symmetric (j + 1)-linear maps from
R4 to the real color space. Its associated homogeneous potential is ai(x) = Ai(x, . . . , x), and the
constraint is
X
i
xiai(x) = 0
for every x.
(RJ1)
This finite-dimensional real space is the space called Taylor in Labels/Jet. Its polynomial-position
degree is j + 1, its engineering weight is j + 2, and its field-count degree is one. Polynomial labels
inherit their weight and field count by addition over their factors; constants have both degrees zero.
Complex labels are obtained by complexification. No field equation has yet been imposed on these
radial variables.

Define the curvature coefficient by the homogeneous polynomial
Qil(x) = ∂ial(x) −∂lai(x).
(RJ2)
On symmetric tensors this means freezing one input at ei, subtracting the reversed expression, and
multiplying by j + 1. The curvature is antisymmetric and satisfies
∂aQbc + ∂bQca + ∂cQab = 0,
(RJ3)
since the second derivatives commute. Conversely let Q be a homogeneous degree-j antisymmetric
two-form satisfying (RJ3). Set
ai(x) =
1
j + 2
X
k
xkQki(x).
(RJ4)
Antisymmetry proves (RJ1). Differentiating (RJ4), subtracting the reversed derivatives, and using
(RJ3) gives
∂ial −∂lai = 2Qil + P
k xk∂kQil
j + 2
= Qil,
where the last equality is Euler’s identity for degree j. Conversely, for a radial potential, differen-
tiation of P
k xkak = 0 gives P
k xk∂iak = −ai. Hence P
k xkQki = (j + 1)ai + ai = (j + 2)ai. Thus
curl and (RJ4) are inverse linear maps. Equality of homogeneous diagonal polynomials implies
equality of their symmetric tensors by polarization, so these are identities of the coefficient spaces
themselves. These are the maps and inverse identities in Maxwell/Exterior.
The free solution space consists of those Q which additionally satisfy
X
a
∂aQab = 0
for every b.
(RJ5)
The free gauge-jet map sends this subspace to radial potentials by (RJ4). It is injective because
curl is its left inverse.
In particular, saying that a radial coefficient is in its range is exactly
saying that its curvature satisfies the free equation (RJ5); Bianchi is already built in by (RJ2).
Taking normalized Taylor coefficients of a smooth Maxwell solution on an open set preserves (RJ3)
and (RJ5): differentiate these equations at the point, commute the derivatives, and divide by the
Taylor factorial. Conversely the polynomial attached to an element of the solution space obeys
these equations everywhere. This justifies the solution-jet substitutions used in the equation-ideal
argument below.
Color conjugation acts on these coefficients by the adjoint action. A rotation g acts by
ai(x) 7−→
X
k
gikak(g−1x).
The radial constraint, curl, Bianchi and (RJ5) are preserved, directly by orthogonality and the
chain rule. Thus the reconstruction (RJ4) intertwines both actions. The polynomial ideal is the
kernel of restriction from radial coefficients to this free solution range, taken at each finite degree
horizon. A choice of projection onto that range is a finite-dimensional linear choice; the polynomial
telescoping argument below shows explicitly how its kernel is generated by the linear equation
coordinates. This explains both the projection Pj used there and the radial reconstruction used in
the Gaussian covariance comparison.

Source–readout formulation.
The radial Taylor variables are a normal form for a quotient, and
the source–readout content of the subsection is the identification of that quotient with a concrete
section.
The source object is a homogeneous potential; the readout is its linearized curvature
(RJ2); the fibre of the readout is the space of linearized gauge transformations; and the radial
reconstruction (RJ4) is a section whose image is the radial gauge. The following theorem states
this with the gauge parameter written explicitly; the explicit parameter is not printed in the supplied
text and is verified in the proof.
Theorem 16.1 (Radial section of the curl readout). Let Aj be all homogeneous g-valued potentials
of degree j +1 (no radial constraint), Qj the closed homogeneous two-forms of degree j, curl : Aj →
Qj the map (RJ2) and ρ : Qj →Vj the map (RJ4). Then
1. ρ takes values in Vj, curl ρ = id on Qj and ρ curl = id on Vj;
2. for arbitrary a′ ∈Aj, ρ(curl a′) = a′ −∂λ with λ = (j + 2)−1 P
k xka′
k, a homogeneous scalar
of degree j + 2;
3. hence curl is onto, its fibres are the orbits of a′ 7→a′ + ∂λ, and Vj meets each orbit exactly
once.
Proof. Antisymmetry of Q gives (RJ1) for ρQ.
Differentiating (RJ4), subtracting the reversed
derivative and using (RJ3), ∂ial −∂lai = [2Qil + P
k xk∂kQil]/(j + 2) = Qil by Euler’s identity in
degree j. For (2), P
k xk(∂ka′
i −∂ia′
k) = (j + 1)a′
i −∂i(P
k xka′
k) + a′
i, again by Euler’s identity,
which is (j + 2)(a′
i −∂iλ). If a′ is radial then λ = 0, which is the second half of (1). (3) follows:
two potentials with the same curl have the same image under ρ curl, so they differ by a gradient,
and a radial gradient ∂μ has x · ∂μ = (j + 2)μ = 0. Equality of homogeneous diagonal polynomials
is equality of symmetric tensors by polarization.
The exactness class is quotient equivalence: potentials modulo the fibre are in bijection with
closed two-forms, with ρ as inverse on the radial slice. The free equation space of the title is then a
subspace of the readout space, and membership in it is a property of the curvature jet, independent
of the potential chosen over it.
16.2
Polynomial labels, coherent frames and local sections
The polynomial variables in this construction are coordinates of real radial jets, rather than coor-
dinates of arbitrary connections. Write Vj for the real space of radial homogeneous potentials of
polynomial degree j + 1, described in (RJ1)–(RJ4), and choose a real basis of each Vj. If zj,a are
its coordinate functions, the algebra of labels before imposing gauge invariance is
P = C[zj,a : j ≥0, 1 ≤a ≤dimR Vj].
(PF1)
Each polynomial uses finitely many variables. Its evaluation on a real jet J = (Jj)j≥0 substitutes
the real coordinates of Jj, regarded as complex numbers. Such evaluations separate polynomials:
reduce to the finitely many variables present, and successively use the fact that a nonzero one-
variable polynomial cannot vanish at every real number.
Give zj,a the bidegree (j + 2, 1). Thus the bidegree of a monomial zm is

X
j,a
(j + 2)mj,a,
X
j,a
mj,a

The first entry is engineering degree and the second is number of fields. The horizon-d label space
consists of the adjoint-invariant polynomials whose monomials have r ≤d. It is finite dimensional:
only variables of weight at most d occur and every exponent is at most d. Adjoint transformations
and orthogonal transformations mix coordinates within a fixed Vj; therefore they preserve both
entries of (PF2). Taking a homogeneous component preserves adjoint invariance and the horizon.
Conjugation of coefficients preserves these spaces as well, because evaluation takes place on real
jets.
There is a basis bi, with b0 = 1, consisting of real polynomials of individual bidegrees (ri, fi).
Indeed decompose into the finitely many bidegrees, and then into real and imaginary parts. The
resulting real homogeneous elements span the complex space; choose an independent spanning
subfamily containing 1. At successive horizons extend the previous independent family inside the
same spanning set. This gives coherent frames: previous basis elements remain present as elements,
although their nonzero index numbers need not remain fixed. The only elements with field number
zero are constants. Hence fi > 0 for i ̸= 0.
Coefficients c = (ci) mean the polynomial P
i cibi; use P
i |ci| as a coefficient norm. There are
two different scaling operations:
Jj 7→hj+2Jj,
Jj 7→tJj.
(PF3)
On bi these multiply the reading by hri and tfi, respectively. In particular coefficient scaling by
field number is the diagonal map ci 7→tfici, invertible for t ̸= 0, and fixes the unit. The coefficient
action of s ∈O(4) is obtained by applying the tensor action to P
i cibi and taking its coordinates.
This action is an action on the polynomial label space. Its compatibility with the physical quotient
requires the separate rotation argument below; it does not follow merely from this definition.
Here is the actual construction of a local lattice representative of each label. At horizon d put
AJ
i (x) =
X
j<d−1
Jji(x),
aJ,h
x,i (t) = hAJ
i (h(x + tei)).
(PF4)
An empty sum is zero. Along this edge solve the matrix group equation
u(0) = 1,
u′(t) = u(t)aJ,h
x,i (t),
(PF5)
where the color is embedded in the skew-adjoint matrix Lie algebra. Set the link equal to u(1). Ex-
istence does not assume a global logarithm. In an exponential chart, differentiating log(exp b exp v)
at v = 0 converts (PF5) to a smooth ordinary differential equation in b. Solve locally, left translate
to any initial value, and glue. Solutions agreeing once agree throughout an overlapping interval: the
derivative of uv∗is zero. The times reachable from zero form an open set with open complement,
by the same local extension and gluing argument; connectedness of the real line gives the solution
at every time. This also proves uniqueness.
For a finite collection of edges these links depend analytically on the finite jet J near zero. One
can see this without differentiating an infinite configuration map. The integral equation in matrix
path space is u = 1 + VJu, where VJ is integration followed by multiplication by the connection.
Near J = 0 its norm is less than one, so (1 −VJ)−1 = P
n≥0 Vn
J is analytic. Uniqueness identifies it
with (PF5). Differentiating at zero gives the edge tangent
R 1

i (x + tei) dt. Products and inverse
links therefore have tangents equal to their signed edge sums.
A sampling slot consists of an oriented elementary plaquette based at an integer point and a
finite path from the origin to that point. Evaluate its curvature and transport the color back along
that path. A gauge transformation changes every slot by the same adjoint transformation at the

origin. At the identity configuration, the connector derivatives cancel: differentiating ZPZ−1, with
Z = P = 1, leaves just P ′. Consequently the linearization of the slot is the circulation of the
integrated polynomial potential around the plaquette.
These linear samples separate the truncated radial jets.
For one homogeneous component
A ∈Vk, define
Nij(x, t) =
Z 1
0
Z 1
0
∂iAj(x + tsej + trei) dr ds −
Z 1
0
Z 1
0
∂jAi(x + tsei + trej) dr ds.
(PF6)
At t = 1 the fundamental theorem of calculus identifies this with the square circulation. At t = 0
it is ∂iAj −∂jAi. Homogeneity gives Nij(tx, t) = tkNij(x, 1). If all integer square samples of a
sum of components through k vanish, multiply the rescaled component of degree lby tk−l. Choose
integer xt with txt →x. The resulting finite sum is zero for t > 0; continuity at zero leaves only
N(k)
ij (x, 0). Thus the top curl vanishes. Radial reconstruction (RJ4) makes the top potential zero.
Descending induction eliminates all components. No interchange of the two iterated integrals in
(PF6) is required.
Only finitely many slots are needed. Among kernels of finite sampling families choose one of
minimal dimension. Appending any further slot cannot lower that dimension, hence cannot lower
the kernel. A vector in this kernel is therefore killed by every slot and, by the preceding argument,
is zero. Write X = Q
j<d−1 Vj, Y = gm, and T : X →Y for the resulting injective linearization.
There is an adjoint-equivariant left inverse C : Y →X. Equip Y with the sum of the invariant
color inner products. The range of T is invariant under the adjoint action in both directions, so its
orthogonal projection commutes with that action. Compose this projection with T −1 on its range.
This proves the equivariance of C without needing an invariant inner product on X.
Let B : X →Y denote the nonlinear slot readings of the links (PF5) at h = 1. Then B(0) = 0,
DB(0) = T, and D(CB)(0) = 1. The finite-dimensional analytic inverse function theorem supplies
a local inverse g−1 of g = CB. Define
R(y) = g−1(Cy).
(PF7)
It is analytic near zero, R(0) = 0, and R(B(x)) = x near zero. For each fixed gauge transformation
its equivariance follows by applying g to both candidate expressions, using equivariance of B, C,
and using injectivity on a sufficiently small common neighborhood. The neighborhood is allowed
to depend on that transformation.
Replace this shared recovery map by its Taylor polynomial
R≤d(y) =
d
X
q=0
1
q!DqR(0)[y, . . . , y],
Pi(y) = bi(R≤d(y)).
(PF8)
All derivatives through order d of the first expression equal those of R; differentiating each homo-
geneous term proves this directly, including its factorial. Expanding multilinear forms in real panel
coordinates makes Pi an actual complex polynomial. Its evaluation on real panels is real, and it is
adjoint invariant. Because R≤d(0) = 0, each substituted coordinate has no constant term. Every
monomial of bi has exactly fi factors. Hence every monomial of Pi has at least fi slot factors. The
substitution is not truncated again: terms of degree greater than d are retained.
The geometric scaling identity for (PF5) is
U(J, h) = U(trunkd(hj+2Jj), 1).
(PF9)
253

It follows from homogeneity in (PF4) and uniqueness of the edge equation. Along this curve the slot
panel is B(trunkd(hj+2Jj)). Equations (PF7)–(PF8), and the chain rule through order d, therefore

(PF10)
This is equality of finite Taylor readings, not equality at nonzero mesh.
To impose the signed lattice symmetries, extend Pi linearly in the coefficient vector, precompose
configurations by each signed coordinate permutation, apply the inverse tensor action to the coeffi-
cient input, and average over this finite group. Equation (PF10) is preserved: the holonomy of the
transformed connection is the transformed holonomy, including reversal and inversion of negatively
oriented edges, by (PF5) and uniqueness. The tensor action preserves field number. A transformed
slot is a signed slot; combining all these finite slot families into one list and substituting signed
variables therefore preserves the lower bound fi on monomial degree. The averaged section fixes
the unit and obeys the exact signed symmetry and reality laws.
All paths and squares used are finite.
Enclose them and their signed images in one origin-
containing symmetric integer box. Each transported curvature slot is a polynomial in matrix entries
of its links and their conjugates: inverse unitary links use conjugate transpose, and curvature uses
its fixed linear projection of the skew part. Thus the section is a finite polynomial cylinder, gauge
invariant, continuous everywhere and smooth along link variations. On a torus it is placed by
translating and reducing this finite stencil. Formula (PF10) is used when the stencil does not wrap;
the cylinder itself is defined even when it wraps.
Finally fix a derivative order and the direction power of (AB4). On this fixed stencil each trans-
ported curvature slot, including its normalized ordered left derivatives, has an envelope bounded by
Cθ on the healthy domain. The zeroth estimate is the healthy plaquette bound and adjoint isom-
etry; differentiated plaquettes and connector products have bounded coefficients on the compact
group and each allowed direction contributes θ times a fixed stencil constant. For a differentiated
product of at least fi slots the Leibniz rule distributes the derivatives; an undifferentiated slot pays
θ, and a differentiated slot pays at least one θ. Further derivatives only improve this power since
θ ≤1. Finite sums and a maximum over the finite basis give a constant A, independent of torus
size, placement and the remaining budget parameters, such that the section of bi has normalized
envelope
Aθfi.
(PF11)
This is the local section estimate used in training and reset budgets. It includes nonlinear terms of
(PF8); it is not an estimate only of the linearized sampler.
The actual finest-lattice insertion includes two coefficient changes in a specified order.
Let
θN > 0 be the healthy-field threshold at level N, let Sd(c; o, U) be the section just constructed, and
let Td,N,p be the terminal coefficient isomorphism of the selected history. Put
Id,N,p(v; o, U) = a−d
N Sd
 θ−fi
N (T −1
d,N,pv)i

i; o, U

.
(PF12)
Thus calibration is applied first, threshold scaling second, and engineering normalization last. The
exponent in the threshold scaling is the field number fi, not the engineering degree ri. A general
horizon label contains several bidegrees, so neither diagonal scaling may be replaced by one scalar
on that entire space.
Although the coefficient vector in (PF12) depends on N, p, its stencil is the single stencil of
Sd. Linear combination and multiplication by constants do not enlarge it. Consequently (PF12)
is continuous, gauge invariant and supported on that translated stencil for every cutoff, including
254

cutoffs at which it wraps around the torus. The finite-Taylor normalization and the calibrated
symmetry statements are used only after the reference level fits below N; this distinction is needed
when constructing a family defined at every cutoff.
At such a cutoffthe terminal map commutes with conjugation and signed orthogonal actions.
Its inverse does too, by applying the terminal map to the two candidate values. Threshold scaling
commutes with those actions because they preserve field number. Together with the corresponding
identities for Sd, these facts prove the reality and signed covariance of (PF12). If e0 denotes the
coefficient vector of the constant polynomial, the physical unit at level m is ad
me0. The based-history
identity is
Td,N,p(ad
Ne0) = ad
kde0.
(PF13)
Substituting its inverse in (PF12), using f0 = 0 and Sd(e0) = 1, proves that the reference physical
unit gives the constant cylinder one.
Translating the placement translates precisely the same
coefficient vector; no new history or new calibration is chosen at the new site.

with R ◦B = id near zero (PF7): on the image of the realization the slot panel recovers the jet
exactly, as analytic germs. The polynomial section replaces R by R≤d and thereby recovers the
label reading only through Taylor order d in the mesh (PF10); the loss is everything of higher
order, and it is intended (those terms have engineering weight above the horizon). The realization
map J 7→U(J, h) is not onto configurations and is not gauge invariant; the readout B is adjoint
covariant at the origin and the labels are adjoint-invariant polynomials, so Pi ◦B is gauge invariant.
In the frame realization of Theorem 7.1, Sd(c; o, π(r, A)) = Sd(c; o, A) (Proposition 9.1 and gauge
invariance), the envelope (PF11) is a fibre constant (Proposition 9.3) and the insertion (PF12)
lifts as IZ = I ◦π with the same stencil. The three coefficient operations of (PF12) are recorded
separately in the realized tuple, in their order.
Lemma 16.2 (Finitely many slots separate truncated radial jets). There is a finite slot family
whose linearization T : X = Q
j<d−1 Vj →Y = gm is injective, and an adjoint-equivariant left
inverse C : Y →X.
Proof. If all integer square samples of a sum of components through degree k vanish, multiply the
rescaled component of degree lby tk−land choose integer xt with txt →x; the finite sum is zero
for t > 0, and continuity at t = 0 leaves only N(k)
ij (x, 0). The top curl vanishes, so by Theorem 16.1
the top potential vanishes, and descending induction removes all components. Among kernels of
finite sampling families choose one of minimal dimension; appending any slot cannot lower it, so
a vector in it is killed by every slot and is zero. For C, equip Y with the sum of invariant color
inner products; the range of T is invariant, its orthogonal projection commutes with the adjoint
action, and C is that projection followed by T −1 on the range. No invariant inner product on X is
needed.
The lemma is the finite-dimensional separation statement on which the chain rests: finitely
many lattice slots already determine a truncated radial jet, and the left inverse can be chosen
compatibly with the adjoint action, so that the gauge covariance of the readout is not broken by
the choice of slots. The exactness class of the label reading is controlled approximation in the mesh
(exact through Taylor order d), built on an exact local section.

16.3
Calibrated coefficient changes and exact solutions
The inverse of the local slot sampler in (PF8) is an inverse on truncated radial jets. The coefficient
inverse required for a physical insertion is a different map. We construct it in the norms and units
in which it is used. Fix a degree horizon d, its coherent frame, and a reporting level k ≥kd, where
kd is the reference level for that frame. All assertions in this paragraph are uniform in N ≥k and
the period p, with k fixed.
Let Td,N,p be the calibrated terminal coefficient isomorphism of the insertion history. If v is
its reference coefficient, transport T −1
d,N,pv along that same history to level k and take its primary
coefficient. Denote the result by
Cd,k,N,pv,
Ad,k,N,pv = a−d
k Cd,k,N,pv.
(PC1)
At the reference level Cd,kd,N,pv = v, by the normalization of the history. At an adjacent step its
coefficient estimates give, in the frame norm | · |1,
|Civ|1 ≤Ri+1Ld
i |Ci+1v|1,
|Ci+1v|1 ≤Ri+1|Civ|1,
(PC2)
where Ri+1 ≥1 is the actual column allowance and Li ≥1 the block side. These are bounds on the
primary coefficients of the original transported entries. They do not replace the primary coefficient
by its class in the physical quotient.
Define the finite number
Od,k =
Y
i<k
Ri+1Ld
i ≥1.
(PC3)
Iterating the first inequality of (PC2), starting at the reference level, and enlarging the product by
its factors before that level, proves
|v|1 ≤Od,k|Cd,k,N,pv|1 = Od,kad
k|Ad,k,N,pv|1.
(PC4)
Iterating the second inequality gives a finite upper bound as well. Thus C and A are injective and
hence bijective on the finite coefficient space, with both bounds uniform in the remaining cutoff
and period at this fixed level. No bound on Od,k as k →∞is asserted.
The readout map is constructed by polynomial substitution followed by Gaussian contraction.
Start with the linear map sending a reference coefficient v to the local polynomial representative
of its transported insertion. Rename its finitely many slot variables as the actual link-coordinate
variables, multiply each by the threshold factor, and embed them in the one common stencil. Let
M(v) denote the resulting polynomial. For its actual symmetric covariance Q, Gaussian contraction
means the finite linear operator
WQ = exp

1
2
X
α,β
Qαβ∂α∂β

.
(PC5)
The exponential terminates on each polynomial. Apply WQ, substitute the linearized slot expres-
sions in the radial-jet variables, and retain monomials of engineering weight at most d. The resulting
polynomial is invariant and real when v is real: substitution intertwines the color action, the co-
variance is invariant, and real coefficients and real covariance commute with coefficient conjugation.
It therefore has a unique coefficient vector in the coherent frame.
There is a last field-number rescaling in this definition. Put
ξk,N,p =
β−1/2
N,p,k
θk
> 0,
(Dξz)i = ξfizi,
(PC6)

where θk is the original barrier threshold, not a restarted threshold. Define the linear readout
Td,k,N,p by requiring that the polynomial obtained from (PC5) have coefficient vector DξTd,k,N,pv.
This determines T because every diagonal entry of Dξ is nonzero.
It also explains the exact
calibration identity: the retained polynomial, including its Gaussian contraction, is the polynomial
with those coefficients. There is no assertion that the whole untruncated exponential insertion is
polynomial.
The analytic comparison estimate for this construction is measured before the rescaling Dξ:
|Ad,k,N,pv −Td,k,N,pv|1 ≤1
2|Ad,k,N,pv|1.
(PC7)
We derive this relative estimate before solving any calibrated columns. Let n bound the ordinary
polynomial degree, let z = θk/g ≥1, g = β−1/2
N,p,k, and multiply every variable of the unweighted
insertion polynomial by z; call that polynomial q. Its coefficient sum obeys coin(q) ≤B|Av|1. The
actual nonlinear transported-variable substitution has the form
Xα 7−→fα + θ−1
k SθkAα,
(PC7a)
where fα is linear, St multiplies every variable by t, and every monomial of Aα has ordinary degree
at least two. Their coefficient sums are at most B. For 0 < t ≤1,
coin(t−1StAα) ≤tB,
coin(fα + t−1StAα) ≤2B.
(PC7b)
The first assertion follows term by term from tm−1 ≤t for m ≥2; the second is the triangle
inequality.
Telescoping each monomial of degree at most n, replacing one variable at a time,
bounds the nonlinear substitution error by coin(q)n(tB)(2B)n. For a covariance with entries at
most ε ≤1, Wick’s finite pairing expansion bounds coin(WQq −q) by coin(q)ε[2(n+2)]n. After the
linear substitution this costs a further factor Bn. These two errors give
A(t, B, ε, n) = n(tB)(2B)n + ε[2(n + 2)]nBn.
(PC7c)
Engineering truncation can only decrease coefficient sum.
For the actual holonomy Taylor reading, the calibration before Wick contraction has error
at most ε|Av|1 in polynomial coefficients. This is the Taylor remainder of the transported slots in
(PF8)–(PF11), with their ordinary nonlinear part separated as in (PC7a). On the finite-dimensional
image of the polynomial exposure map, fix a constant c ≥1 bounding its inverse from polynomial
coefficient sum to frame coefficient sum. The total frame error is therefore
|Av −Tv|1 ≤c{ε + BA(θk, B, ε, n)}|Av|1.
(PC7d)
The covariance here is the rescaled covariance z−2Q, since scaling variables by z and Wick contrac-
tion commute with that change of covariance. The band estimate gHk ≤2θk implies |(z−2Q)αβ| ≤ε

polynomial fits its stated monitor price. These estimates use the original threshold and the actual
rescaled covariance; no solved-column bound has been used to prove the inverse.
The unit is exact: its representative is the constant polynomial, contraction and truncation fix
it, and both rescalings have weight zero on it. Thus Tvunit = e0. We retain (PC7) in its relative
form; an absolute error on a few selected fields would not imply the inverse assertion that follows.
The triangle inequality gives
|Av|1 ≤2|Tv|1,
|Tv|1 ≤3
2|Av|1 ≤2|Av|1.

Combining the first inequality with (PC4) proves
|T −1z|1 ≤2Od,kad
k|z|1.
(PC9)
To justify existence of this inverse before using it, Tv = 0 implies Av = 0 by (PC8), then v = 0
by (PC4). An injective endomorphism of a finite-dimensional space is surjective. This proves both
existence and the bound (PC9).
For a desired reference coefficient b and a position magnification ρ, let (Wρb)i = ρribi. The
exact solved calibration is
DξTu = Wρb,
u = T −1Dξ−1Wρb.
(PC10)
The two diagonal operations use the distinct entries fi, ri of the bidegree. The solution is unique.
Real b gives real u, because conjugating the equation gives the same equation and uniqueness
applies. If b = e0, the solution is vunit by the exact unit identity. This constructs all the solved
basis columns simultaneously for the one readout, rather than choosing a different readout for each
column.

extracting the solved columns. It is allowed to grow with the reporting level.

Source–readout formulation.
Two coefficient coordinates of the same transported insertion
are in play: the transported coordinate Av (a source-side record: the primary coefficient carried
by the history) and the read coordinate Tv (what the Gaussian-contracted polynomial shows in
the coherent frame). Theorem 16.3 is a recovery theorem for the reader T: it is a bijection of the
finite label space at each (k, N, p), with explicit two-sided bounds, so no label information is lost at
fixed level, and (PC10) is its exact section for a prescribed target reading. What is not recovered
is uniformity in k: Od,k is not bounded, and the lift does not improve it. The readout is defined on
primary coefficients and has not yet been passed to the physical quotient; identifying those two is
the business of the equation image below.
Theorem 16.3 (Relative comparison and invertibility of the readout). Eventually in the level,
uniformly in N, p,
|Ad,k,N,pv −Td,k,N,pv|1 ≤1
2|Ad,k,N,pv|1,
hence
|Av|1 ≤2|Tv|1,
|Tv|1 ≤3
2|Av|1,
T is invertible and
|T −1z|1 ≤2Od,kad
k|z|1,
Tvunit = e0.
Proof. Let n bound the ordinary polynomial degree, z = θk/g ≥1, g = β−1/2
N,p,k, and let q be the
unweighted insertion polynomial with every variable multiplied by z; its coefficient sum satisfies
coin(q) ≤B|Av|1. The nonlinear transported-variable substitution is
Xα 7−→fα + θ−1
k SθkAα,
fα linear, St multiplication of every variable by t, every monomial of Aα of degree at least two,
coefficient sums at most B. For 0 < t ≤1,
coin(t−1StAα) ≤tB,
coin(fα + t−1StAα) ≤2B,
by tm−1 ≤t for m ≥2. Telescoping each monomial of degree at most n one variable at a time
bounds the nonlinear substitution error by coin(q) n(tB)(2B)n. For a covariance with entries at
most ε ≤1 Wick’s finite pairing expansion gives coin(WQq−q) ≤coin(q)ε[2(n+2)]n, and the linear
substitution costs a further Bn:
A(t, B, ε, n) = n(tB)(2B)n + ε[2(n + 2)]nBn.
Truncation only decreases coefficient sums. The calibration before contraction has error at most
ε|Av|1 (Taylor remainder of the slots, (PF8)–(PF11)). With c ≥1 bounding the inverse of the
polynomial exposure map on its finite-dimensional image,
|Av −Tv|1 ≤c{ε + BA(θk, B, ε, n)}|Av|1,
the covariance being the rescaled z−2Q, with entries at most ε when |Qαβ| ≤B, 4B ≤Hk, by the
band estimate gHk ≤2θk. Choose a = [4(n + 2)]−1, B = Ha
k, ε = H−1

the terms of (PC7d) have powers of Hk at most

−1 + a(n + 1) < −3
4,
with prefactors depending on d, n, c only. Hence 2c{ε + BA} ≤1 eventually, which is (PC7); the
triangle inequality gives (PC8). If Tv = 0 then Av = 0 and v = 0 by (PC4), so the endomorphism T
is injective, hence bijective, and (PC4) with (PC8) gives (PC9). The unit is exact: its representative
is the constant polynomial, fixed by contraction and truncation, and both rescalings have weight
zero on it.

The order of choices in the theorem is: degree d and level k first, then the eventual threshold
in the level, uniformly in the cutoffN and period p. The factor Od,kad
k is the price of inverting the
reader at level k and is retained in every later use.
16.4
The full free Maxwell polynomial hierarchy
The free comparison hierarchy is specified on all polynomial labels, with no restriction to its two-
point function. Let Sj be the real space of homogeneous curvature Taylor coefficients of order j
satisfying antisymmetry, Bianchi and the Maxwell divergence equation in (RJ3),(RJ5). Choose a
real basis and write Xj,α for its coordinate symbols. The free polynomial algebra is
W = C[Xj,α],
weight(Xj,α) = j + 2.
(FM1)
A real solution tower A = (Aj) evaluates these symbols in its real coordinates. Evaluation separates
polynomials by the finite-variable argument of (PF1).
The restriction map from radial labels
substitutes the radial potential reconstructed from Aj into each original jet coordinate. Its kernel
at horizon d is exactly the equation ideal: it consists of polynomials vanishing on every such solution
tower. Its image Winv
d
is the invariant sector of weight at most d. To see surjectivity onto this sector,
use the color-equivariant projection of radial curvature coefficients onto their Maxwell subspace and
then radial reconstruction to lift every linear solution coordinate. Polynomial substitution preserves
weight and equivariance; restriction of this lift is the identity. This is an algebraic operation on
coefficients, not a claim about interacting equations.
The basic covariance is fixed by
G0(z) =
1
4π2|z|2 ,
Cab,kl(z) = δbk∂a∂lG0 + δal∂b∂kG0 −δbl∂a∂kG0 −δak∂b∂lG0,
z ̸= 0. (FM2)
Colors contract by their invariant Euclidean inner product. This is the curl at the first endpoint
and the opposite curl at the second endpoint of the potential covariance; the opposite endpoint
derivative accounts for its signs. Its two legs are closed and divergence free away from zero, by
commutation of derivatives and harmonicity of G0.
The contractions of higher solution coordinates use normalized Taylor coefficients, so the facto-
rial convention must be retained. If p ∈S∗
j , first extend it linearly to the ambient two-form Taylor
tensors. Apply it to the order-j normalized Taylor tensor of the first leg of (FM2), obtaining a
two-form in the second indices and color. Pair its order-l normalized Taylor tensor with an exten-
sion of q ∈S∗
l , and multiply by (−1)l. Denote the resulting scalar by Kp,q(z). Both extensions are
immaterial: at each point away from zero the differentiated leg is in the corresponding solution sub-
space, so their differences annihilate it. This defines the contractions on precisely the constrained
variables in (FM1).
For monomials at distinct points x1, . . . , xn, regard every power of every symbol as that many
distinguishable occurrences. Sum over perfect matchings of all these occurrences, allowing a pair
only if its two occurrences belong to different insertion points.
A pair (i, p), (k, q) contributes
Kp,q(xi −xk). The product over its pairs, summed over the permitted matchings, is the monomial
moment. The empty matching contributes one and an odd total number contributes zero. Extend
by complex multilinearity in the n polynomial inputs:

The restriction on pairs is the Wick ordering of each composite insertion. There are finitely many
terms for every tuple of polynomials. Pulling (FM3) back by the restriction map defines the free
table on the original coherent label frames.
The elementary contraction is symmetric under exchange of endpoints and legs. Reindexing
matchings therefore proves permutation symmetry. It depends only on differences, proving transla-
tion invariance. The chain rule applied to (FM2), orthogonality of the color action, and orthogonal
covariance of the two curls give the full orthogonal tensor law. All entries are real on real coeffi-
cients, giving the reality law. Inserting the constant polynomial one introduces no occurrences, so
it removes that slot. These prove the algebraic hierarchy laws for every arity.
Each derivative of a contraction of orders j, l is bounded by a constant times a power of the
inverse separation; at order zero the power is 4 + j + l. This follows by differentiating the rational
homogeneous function (FM2), with the finite normalization factors included in its constant. Taking
products and finite sums in (FM3) proves analyticity on the separated configuration space and a
power bound there. For the product bound add the exponents and multiply constants; for a sum
take their sum and enlarge to a common exponent using r−1 ≥1 when 0 < r ≤1. These are the
positional bounds needed for its smeared hierarchy.
Source–readout formulation.
The free hierarchy is an imported comparison realization: a sec-
ond realized sector over the same label algebra, built from the explicit kernel (FM2). It is not the
interacting theory and nothing in its construction refers to the Wilson history. Its role in the sup-
plied construction is that of a calibrated yardstick: detection, charge and Ward-kernel statements
proved for it are transferred to the interacting hierarchy only through the comparison estimates
that follow. The label algebra, with its restriction map, is the interface between the two sectors in
the sense of the method: both hierarchies are read on the same labels, and discrepancies between
them are retained as interface residuals.
The realized sector of the free hierarchy is explicit: its source record is the kernel K of (FM2)
on the fixed real symbol space, its readout is the family of moments Mn of (FM3), and the only
operations are multilinear extension, differentiation in the insertion points and restriction to smaller
label sets. Each of these commutes with the moment formula because the sum over matchings is
finite and the kernel is real analytic away from coincident points. No statement about the interacting
measure is contained in this subsection.
16.5
Positivity and strictness of the reflected free pairing
We derive the reflected one-particle positivity needed for polynomial detection. Fix an axis a, let θa
reflect that coordinate, and let Ra act on all tensor indices of a probe by this reflection. Take finitely
many real probes pi of possibly different jet orders di, at points xi with (xi)a > 0. Coincident points
among these sources are allowed. Float all sources by tea, t ≥0, and put
H(t) =
X
i,j
K(pi, Rapj; xi + tea, θa(xj + tea)),
where the last two arguments indicate the endpoints of the difference kernel. Let Ft be the sum of
their curvature pulses. The derivative in the first endpoint and the opposite motion of the reflected
endpoint give
H′(t) = −2L(t),
L(t) =
X
i,j
−K(∂api, Rapj; xi + tea, θa(xj + tea)).
(GP1)

Here ∂api is the raised probe, with the normalized derivative convention of (FM2). The factor two
is the sum of the two endpoint motions.
On the reflecting plane the reflected pulse is Ft,bc 7→εbεcFt,bc, where εa = −1 and all other
εb = 1. Substitute these signs into the bilinear Maxwell stress. Its normal-normal component is
−1
2
P
b,c ∥Ft,bc∥2. The mixed terms with exactly one normal index change sign; skew symmetry
gives Ft,aa = 0, and combining the remaining terms yields exactly this negative half-sum. Integrate
its divergence over the positive half-box, removing small balls about its finitely many upper sources.
The plane term has the negative outward normal; the small-sphere terms are the translation case
of the pulse-current identity (FS2). The reflected sources are in the negative half-space and cause
no extra sphere term. The other box faces disappear as their size tends to infinity. Indeed each
pulse of order d is O(|y|−4−d); its bilinear stress is O(|y|−8−di−dj), while the three-dimensional face
measure is O(R3). Their fluxes are therefore O(R−5−di−dj). Summing the finitely many terms
proves
L(t) = lim

∥Ft,bc(ya = 0)∥2 d3y ≥0.
(GP2)
The same argument bounds each finite-box integral by L(t), by monotonicity of the nonnegative
integrand. Since every source-to-reflected-source separation tends to infinity, the pole bounds give
H(t) →0. Equations (GP1)–(GP2) make H decreasing, so H(t) ≥0. This proves the real positive
semidefiniteness of every finite reflected one-particle matrix.
Symmetry of that matrix follows
from endpoint exchange and reflection covariance.
Its complex extension is Hermitian positive
semidefinite by splitting a coefficient vector into real and imaginary parts.
The equality case is stronger when all source points equal one point x with xa > 0. Suppose
H(0) = 0. Monotonicity and nonnegativity imply H(t) = 0 for all t ≥0, hence L(t) = 0 for t > 0.
Equation (GP2), together with continuity, forces every component of Ft to vanish on the entire
reflecting plane: a nonzero value would have a neighborhood with positive squared integral inside
some finite box. Translation covariance then makes the unshifted summed pulse vanish on ya = −t,
for every t > 0. Each scalar color component is real analytic on R4 \ {x}, which is connected. The
analytic identity theorem extends this half-space vanishing to every y ̸= x.
Apply now the radial version of (FS2) to this zero summed pulse and any polynomial Maxwell
solution f. It yields
X
i
(di + 2) pi(jdif(x)) = 0,
(GP3)
where jk is the normalized solution jet of order k. For any homogeneous solution tensor Ak, the
field f(y) = asWave(Ak)(y −x) has normalized jet Ak at order k at x, and zero jets there at all
other orders. Thus (GP3) gives P
i:di=k pi(Ak) = 0, since k + 2 > 0. Summing over the finitely
many jet orders proves that a zero reflected norm annihilates every solution tower. In particular,
for any finite alphabet of independent solution-coordinate probes, its one-point reflected matrix is
positive definite: evaluate the last identity on a tower with a single basis coordinate equal to one
to force each coefficient to be zero. This establishes strictness on the constrained solution spaces
themselves, including mixtures of jet orders.
We pass from legs to polynomial words algebraically. On finitely many complex variables define

Every weight is positive; hence ⟨P, P⟩F > 0 for P ̸= 0, including the scalar polynomial. Factor a
finite reflected leg matrix as L∗L, which is ordinary finite-dimensional positive matrix factorization.
Associate to a leg i the creation polynomial li(Z) = P

occurrences successively: append its creation polynomial and, for each possible contraction to a
previous occurrence on the same side, add that covariance times the polynomial for the remaining
word. This finite recursion is Wick’s pairing recurrence. Pairing the two resulting polynomials by
(GP4) contracts their remaining occurrences across the reflection plane, since ⟨li, lj⟩F = (L∗L)ij.
The factorial Q νi! counts the bijections between equal creation occurrences. Induction on word
length therefore identifies the reflected Wick moment with this polynomial inner product, including
all permitted contractions internal to either half. A finite linear combination of words has reflected
norm equal to the nonnegative squared norm of its associated polynomial. Expanding polynomial
insertions into monomials proves reflection positivity at arbitrary arity, and smearing preserves it
by integration.
At a single source point there are no contractions within either half because each insertion is
Wick ordered. The recursion is then simply the substitution Zi 7→li(Z). The one-point leg matrix
is positive definite by (GP3), so L is invertible; substituting L−1 gives the inverse polynomial substi-
tution. Thus a nonzero polynomial remains nonzero, and (GP4) makes its reflected pairing strictly
positive. This is the strict pairing used in the hosting argument and the detector construction. It
proves that the free all-spectator null space has precisely the equation ideal already removed in
forming the solution coordinates.
Accordingly the free physical field space is canonically
Ed/Nd ≃Winv
d .
(FM4)
Under this identification the horizon inclusion is literal polynomial inclusion.
A derivative in
direction v is the polynomial derivation determined on a linear symbol by
Dv symbolj(p) = symbolj+1(p ◦lowerv).
(FM5)
Here lowerv Aj+1 is the order-j Taylor coefficient of the derivative of the homogeneous polynomial
represented by Aj+1; its coefficient is j + 1 times contraction with v. Thus (FM5) has the actual
Taylor normalization. The Leibniz rule differentiates one occurrence at a time. Differentiating a
matching product in (FM3) selects its incident covariance edge, while replacing an occurrence by
(FM5) differentiates precisely that same edge. Summing proves the insertion-derivative identity. It
raises the horizon by one and stays in the invariant sector. Conjugation and signed transformations
obey (QD6). Hence the free differential system is the same type of all-spectator system as the
interacting one.
For s ∈O(4) the free field action is the polynomial substitution induced by the tensor action
on the solution tower. It preserves weight, equations and color invariance, with inverse given by
s−1; conjugating it through (FM4) gives the full field action. Infinitesimal skew rotations likewise
act by the derivation obtained by differentiating that linear tensor substitution. Both descriptions
are on the same field space and preserve the moment law (FM3).

multiply the Bianchi equation by F c
ai, sum, and interchange a, i in its second derivative term to
obtain the factor two on the left and the half derivative on the right. This cancels the divergence
of the subtracted term in (FM6). Evaluation on all real solution towers then proves the polynomial
identity. Through (FM4) it gives a real, symmetric, conserved free field at horizon four, with the
exact normalization used in the later free comparison.
Source–readout formulation.
The free readout (all separated correlations with all spectators)
has a kernel on labels, and (FM4) computes it exactly: the information the free sector cannot see is
the equation ideal and nothing else. The quotient map from radial labels to Winv
d
is the readout; the
color-equivariant projection followed by radial reconstruction (Theorem 16.1) is its section. This
is a quotient equivalence in the method’s classification, proved by a strict positivity argument and
not assumed as nondegeneracy.
Theorem 16.4 (Strictness at one point). If all sources sit at one point x with xa > 0 and H(0) = 0,
then
X
i
(di + 2) pi(jdif(x)) = 0
for every polynomial Maxwell solution f, and therefore P
i:di=k pi = 0 on Sk for every k.
In
particular the one-point reflected matrix of any finite family of independent solution-coordinate
probes, of mixed jet orders, is positive definite.
Proof. Monotonicity and nonnegativity give H ≡0, so L(t) = 0 for t > 0 and by (GP2) and
continuity Ft vanishes on the reflecting plane. By translation the unshifted summed pulse vanishes
on ya = −t for all t > 0, hence on a half-space, and by real analyticity on the connected set
R4 \ {x} it vanishes identically. The radial case of (FS2) applied to this zero pulse gives (GP3).
For a homogeneous solution tensor Ak the field f(y) = asWave(Ak)(y −x) has jet Ak at order k
and zero jets at other orders at x, and k + 2 > 0.
Strictness at one point is the form of the statement that is used: it says that the readout
“reflected pairing against all polynomial Maxwell solutions” has no kernel on solution-coordinate
probes beyond the equation ideal, for probes of mixed jet orders at the same point. The weights
di + 2 are the engineering weights of the probes and are retained; they are what separates the
homogeneous components in the proof.
16.6
The free low-degree stress and vector spaces
The low-degree classification uses simplicity of the actual color Lie algebra, without assuming that
the matrix group is connected. Differentiate its adjoint action along the actual exponential curves.
This gives

= [x, y].
(FC1)
The span of brackets is a nonzero ideal, hence is the whole simple nonabelian color algebra. An
invariant linear functional annihilates each bracket by (FC1), so it is zero. An invariant real bilinear
form satisfies B([x, y], z) = −B(y, [x, z]). Its alternating part is zero: three cyclic applications to
B([x, y], z), with bracket antisymmetry, identify this value with its negative, and brackets span. For
the symmetric part write B(x, y) = ⟨Ax, y⟩with A self-adjoint. Invariance says A[x, y] = [x, Ay].
Every eigenspace of A is therefore an ideal. A real self-adjoint operator has an eigenvalue; its
nonzero eigenspace is the whole algebra, so A is scalar.
Applying this argument to real and

imaginary parts proves that every invariant complex-valued real bilinear form is a complex multiple
of the fixed color inner product.
A monomial of weight at most five has at most two fields, since each variable has weight at least
two. With two fields its jet orders are either (0, 0) or (0, 1); the latter has weight five. Decompose
a polynomial into its constant, linear and these quadratic pieces by ordinary field number and
engineering weight. Invariance of each piece follows from the linearity of the color action. The
linear piece vanishes by (FC1). Polarizing the (0, 0) piece, and separating the two jet orders in
the (0, 1) piece, gives invariant bilinear forms. Resolve their spatial tensor coordinates; (FC1) then
makes every color contraction a multiple of the color inner product. Consequently all weight-four
labels are spanned by the unit and ⟨Fab, Fcd⟩; through weight five one adds ⟨Fab, ∂eFcd⟩. This is a
spanning assertion about the actual invariant labels before further free equation relations.

(FC2)
The sums in Ra are over ordered pairs. Consider centered real symmetric tensor fields transforming
under the signed coordinate group as rank-two tensors. Reflection in one axis multiplies Fab by the
product of its two axis signs. Thus a diagonal component permits only products in which every
axis occurs evenly; for two antisymmetric pairs this forces the same unoriented plane twice. The
permutations fixing axis a have just two orbits: planes containing a and planes disjoint from a.
They give Na, Ra. A constant could also occur, but centeredness removes it: the Wick quadratic
one-point functions are zero and the unit expectation is one.
For the off-diagonal component ab, a ̸= b, the parity character is the product of the signs of a, b.
The two planes must therefore share exactly one other axis i, and be ai, bi, up to antisymmetry and
exchange of the two factors. Permutations fixing a, b identify the possible remaining axes, giving
precisely Pab. The characters of the other products differ in at least one reflection, so averaging
against the required character kills them. Permuting axes then determines every tensor component
from 00 and 01. Reality makes the coefficients real. The whole centered signed tensor space is
therefore spanned by
Aab = δabNa,
Bab = δabRa,
Cab = 1{a̸=b}Pab.
(FC3)
For a real polar vector of weight at most five, fix component zero and average under its stabilizing
permutations and reflection character. Constants and FF terms have the wrong parity. In an
Fab∂eFcd term, parity requires that the symmetric difference of the two plane-index sets be {0, e}.
If e = 0, the planes coincide, giving the first two sums below. Otherwise they share a remaining
index; the location of the derivative leg gives the last two sums. Thus its zeroth component is
spanned by

The free divergence equation gives n + a = 0. Bianchi gives ⟨Fji, ∂jF0i⟩+ ⟨Fij, ∂iF0j⟩= ⟨Fij, ∂0Fij⟩.
Summing over ordered distinct nonzero i, j gives 2h = c. Hence only n, h are needed. A signed
vector is determined by its zeroth component, since exchanging axis zero with any axis transports
that component. The polar vector space has real dimension at most two. These relations hold on
all solution towers, so they are zero in the actual free quotient by (FM4).

The lower rank bounds are obtained by explicit separated correlations, not by declaring the
formal expressions independent. Let Hab,cd(z) = Cab,cd(z) be (FM2) and set
Qab,ik;ce,fm(z) = Hab,ce(z)Hik,fm(z) + Hab,fm(z)Hik,ce(z).
(FC5)
The correlation of Qab,ik with Qce,fm at z, 0 is (dim g)Q(z), because the two cross matchings force
the same color. At z = et, writing ν = (4π2)−1, the Hessian and third derivative of the Green
function are
ν−1∂j∂iG0(et) = −2δij + 8δtiδtj,
ν−1∂r∂j∂iG0(et) = 8δijδtr −48δtiδtjδtr + 8(δriδtj + δrjδti).
(FC6)
These follow by differentiating |z|−2. Substituting them into the four signed Kronecker terms in
(FM2), and applying the two-factor product rule to (FC5), gives every sample below. The common
nonzero factor removed is lG = (dim g)ν2 > 0.
Take the divergence component zero of (FC3), correlate it at e0 with Q01,01 and Q12,12 at zero,
divide by lG, and take real parts. The two resulting linear functionals have columns
A
B
C
Q01,01
−256
0
128
Q12,12
0
−512
−128
.
(FC7)
For example the first A entry is P3
k=0 ∂0Q0k,0k;01,01(e0)/ν2 = −256; the corresponding B entry is
the same sum over ordered i, k ̸= 0, which is zero. For C sum ∂rQrk,0k;01,01 over r ̸= 0, k. The
other row uses 12, 12. These finite sums and (FC6) give respectively the three displayed columns. A
third, undifferentiated sample correlates tensor component 01 at e0 with Q02,12 at zero; its columns
are (0, 0, −16), directly from (FC5). It separates the last tensor direction.
Thus A, B, C are independent, so the tensor space has dimension exactly three.
The two
divergence samples in (FC7) are independent; combined with the upper bound two from (FC4),
they identify the entire polar vector space and prove surjectivity of divergence. Rank-nullity gives
a one-dimensional conserved kernel. Solving (FC7) yields its generator
1
2A −1
4B + C = T free.
(FC8)
For its diagonal entry use P
i,k Qik,ik = 2Na + Ra; its off-diagonal entry is Pab. This is exactly
(FM6), already shown conserved. The last sample is nonzero on it, so the generator is nonzero.
Every conserved centered real signed tensor in this weight-four space is its real scalar multiple.
Any later nonzero scalar normalization, including either sign, preserves the rank and the conserved-
line statements; the normalization of shell fluxes is a separate argument.
There is a raw degree-five vector direction which must be kept until the equation quotient is
taken. In polynomial notation its components are
Eb =
X
i,a
pairDeriv(b, i, a, a, i),
(FC9)
that is, the contraction of Fbi with the equation ∂aFai, in the normalized radial-jet coordinates
used above.
The two other raw vector directions are the polynomials called momentum1 and
momentum2 in the preceding classification. Every real signed-equivariant raw vector has a unique
expression uV1 + vV2 + wE. To see the independence after imposing the Maxwell equations, take
a unit color vector and the two solution jets with respectively
(F (0), F (1)) = (leg12, leg0;12),
(leg01, leg0;01 −leg2;21).
(FC10)

Here the legs are radial potential jets, with the normalization made explicit below. Both satisfy the
linear divergence equation and Bianchi identity. The first reads V1 = 0, V2 = 4/3 in component zero;
the second reads V1 = 1. An equation polynomial reads zero on both. It follows first that v = 0,
then that u = 0. Conversely E vanishes on every solution jet, directly by the divergence equation.
A non-solution jet with nonzero divergence shows that E itself is a nonzero raw polynomial. Thus
the raw vector space has dimension three, and the kernel of its map to the free vector quotient is
exactly the one-dimensional space RE.
This statement is independent of coefficient coordinates.
For a coherent degree-five frame,
apply its inverse coordinate map to each component of a real signed-equivariant coefficient vector.
This is a real linear isomorphism to the raw polynomial vector space, because the coordinate map
intertwines signed permutations and conjugation. Composing with the free quotient projection gives
a surjection whose kernel is the inverse-coordinate image of RE. A section is obtained by applying
the corrected polynomial lift to each quotient component. That lift commutes with both symmetries,
and its quotient projection is the identity. These facts justify the vector kernel subtraction used
later: it removes precisely the equation direction, and does not discard either of the two nonzero
free vector classes.
To make the raw coordinates completely explicit, write
Pab;kcd = ⟨Fab, ∂kFcd⟩,
(V1)b =
X
i
Pbi;bbi,
(V2)b =
X
i,j
Pij;bij,
Eb =

i,a
Pbi;aai.
(FC11)
The pairings are the actual invariant polynomial labels, evaluated on radial potential jets; imposing
the Maxwell equation is a later quotient operation. The basic legs in (FC10) are the homogeneous
potentials
(legab e)i(z) = 1
2(δibza −δiazb)e,
(legk;ab e)i(z) = 1
3(δibza −δiazb)zke.
(FC12)
Taking their exterior derivatives defines the curvature legs, including the factor 1/3 in the first
curvature derivative. This factor explains the 4/3 sample in (FC10). A constant curvature is auto-
matically divergence free. For a linear curvature the Maxwell condition is exactly P
i curl1(i, i, b) = 0
for every b; direct differentiation of (FC12) checks it for the two combinations in (FC10). Higher
homogeneous jets can be set to zero.
Here is also the raw upper-dimension argument, before using those solution samples. A weight-
five label decomposes as a constant, an invariant linear term, an FF term and an F ∂F term.
Simplicity kills the linear term as above. Total axis inversion fixes the two F’s but negates a polar
vector, so both its constant and FF terms vanish. Resolve its remaining invariant bilinear color
form into the color inner product. To recover its spatial coefficients it suffices to use the mixed
evaluations
m(A, B; v) = Re{v(A + B) −v(A) −v(B) + v(0)},
(FC13)
where A occupies jet order zero and B order one. Take, in component zero, the three pairs
(leg01 e, leg0;01 e),
(leg01 e, leg2;21 e),
(leg21 e, leg2;01 e).
If all three readings vanish, every mixed coefficient vanishes. Indeed reflections require the sym-
metric difference of its two plane-index sets to equal {0, k}, where k is the derivative index. For
k = 0, equal planes containing zero and equal planes avoiding zero are the two possible types. For
k ̸= 0, the planes share one other index, and the two placements of the derivative factor are the
other types. Permutations fixing zero identify all coefficients of each type; antisymmetry fixes their

signs. The three displayed tests kill three types. The cyclic identity leg0;12 + leg1;20 + leg2;01 = 0,
paired with leg12 e, kills the fourth. The legs span each radial jet space by the expansion
A = 1
2
X
i,j
legij(curl0(i, j)A),
B = 1
2
X
i,j,k
legk;ij(curl1(k, i, j)B).
Bilinearity therefore kills the entire mixed part.
Reality recovers the complex coefficient from
its real part.
The three evaluations form an injective real map, proving the raw upper bound
three. The two solution evaluations in (FC10) and the nonsolution pair (leg01 e, leg0;01 e), on which
E0 = 1, prove independence of V1, V2, E. Thus (FC11) is a basis and every raw vector has unique
coordinates.
For later use, the divergence of the raw centered tensor with coefficients w = (w0, w1, w2),
respectively diagonal mountain, diagonal total and off-diagonal shear, has these coordinates:
Div(w) = 2(w0 −w2)V1 + (2w1 + 1
2w2)V2 + w2E.
(FC14)
The product rule gives 2V1 for the first tensor and 2V2 for the second. For the shear use Bianchi and
interchange the ordered indices to obtain P
a,i Pai;abi = 1
2V2,b; deleting the a = b terms subtracts
2V1,b, while the other product derivative is Eb.
This proves (FC14).
Its coordinate matrix is
invertible, with inverse
w2 = y2,
w0 = y0/2 + y2,
w1 = y1/2 −y2/4.
It defines the actual scalar contraction on raw vectors:
ρ(Div(w)) = −4(w0 + 4w1) = −2y0 −8y1.
(FC15)
If Q = 1
4
P
i,j⟨Fij, Fij⟩, the tensor trace is 4(w0 + 4w1)Q; hence ρ reads minus that trace in Q-units.
It kills E and the traceless conserved tensor w = (1, −1/4, 1). Since (FC10) proves that the raw
equation kernel is exactly RE, ρ annihilates that entire kernel. This is the scalar sensor used later,
with its sign and normalization fixed. The identification of the free quotient here uses the Maxwell
polynomial evaluation and the reflected Gram norm proved in (FM3)–(FM4) and in the detector’s
reflected polynomial calculation; it is not an additional assumption of nondegeneracy.
Source–readout formulation.
This subsection is a classification of invariant label spaces in low
weight, and it contains the simplest instance of the descent criterion in the whole construction. The
source object is a raw vector, a signed equivariant element of the label algebra before the equation
quotient; the readout is its class in the free vector quotient.
Proposition 16.5 (Raw vectors and the equation kernel). Every real signed-equivariant raw vector
of weight five is uniquely uV1 + vV2 + wE, and the kernel of the map to the free vector quotient is
exactly RE.
Proof. Upper bound: a weight-five label is a constant, an invariant linear term, an FF term and
an F∂F term; simplicity kills the linear term and total inversion the constant and FF terms of a
polar vector. The mixed coefficients are recovered by
m(A, B; v) = Re{v(A + B) −v(A) −v(B) + v(0)}
(A at order zero, B at order one) on the three pairs (leg01 e, leg0;01 e), (leg01 e, leg2;21 e),
(leg21 e, leg2;01 e):
reflections require the symmetric difference of the two plane-index sets

to be {0, k}, giving four types, of which the three tests kill three and the cyclic identity
leg0;12 + leg1;20 + leg2;01 = 0 paired with leg12 e the fourth; the legs span the jet spaces by
A = 1

i,j legij(curl0(i, j)A), B = 1

i,j,k legk;ij(curl1(k, i, j)B). Independence: the two solution
jets
(F (0), F (1)) = (leg12, leg0;12),
(leg01, leg0;01 −leg2;21)
satisfy the divergence and Bianchi equations; the first reads V1 = 0, V2 = 4/3 in component zero
and the second V1 = 1, while an equation polynomial reads zero on both, so v = 0 then u = 0. E
vanishes on every solution jet and equals one on the non-solution pair (leg01 e, leg0;01 e).
The scalar contraction ρ of (FC15) is a reader on raw vectors that is constant on the fibres
of the equation quotient: it kills E and the traceless conserved tensor w = (1, −1
4, 1), for which
Div(w) = E, and hence the whole raw equation kernel. It therefore descends to the physical vector
space. This is the scalar sensor used later, with sign and normalization fixed by (FC14)–(FC15): it
reads minus the trace in units of Q = 1
4
P
i,j⟨Fij, Fij⟩. The classification itself uses simplicity of the
color Lie algebra through (FC1) and does not use connectedness of the group; this is a hypothesis
of the supplied construction and is retained. The coordinates (y0, y1, y2) ↔(w0, w1, w2) of (FC14)
are an explicit inverse pair, so the divergence map from invariant symmetric tensors of weight four
to raw vectors of weight five is a bijection, and the fibre of the equation quotient is the single line
RE.
16.7
Free shell charges and separation of the Ward kernel
We give the polynomial calculations underlying the free charge separation used in the rotation and
trace arguments. This also specifies the exterior tests needed when a charge acts on high-degree
fields.
16.8
The compact stress shell identity
Let χ be a smooth compactly supported function equal to one near a distinguished point x, whose
support avoids all spectator points. For a current J, define its outward shell functional by
Eχ(J) = −
X
a
Z
(∂aχ)(y)Ja(y) d4y.
(FS1)
The integrand is supported in a compact annulus away from all insertions. All exchanges of finite
Wick sums and this integral are consequently justified by smoothness there. A one-leg source p
at x produces the Maxwell pulse obtained by applying its jet functional to the covariance. For a
smooth source-free Maxwell field f on a neighborhood of the support of χ, Green’s formula for the
bilinear Maxwell stress current gives
EχJv(pulsep,x, f) = −samplex(p, δvf).
(FS2)
Indeed the divergence vanishes offthe source by the Maxwell and Bianchi equations. Integrating
the differentiated fundamental covariance against the cutofftransfers the derivatives to the smooth
field. The fundamental-solution identity leaves precisely its jet at x. The boundary term at infinity
is absent because the cutoffis compact. The variation of a two-form is δvfab = vc∂cfab +(∂avc)fcb +
(∂bvc)fac. For the three vector fields used here this variation preserves the Maxwell equations. The
stress is symmetric and traceless, so its contraction with the symmetric derivative of a constant,
skew-linear, or radial vector field contributes zero to the divergence.

Here is a regularized derivation of the fundamental-solution step in (FS2). With the covariance
normalization c4 = 1/(4π2), put
gt(y) =
c4
t2 + |y|2 ,
ρt(y) =
8c4t2
(t2 + |y|2)3 ,
t > 0.
(FS2a)
Direct differentiation gives −∆gt = ρt.
The radial integral gives
R ρ1 = 1: the sphere area is
2π2 and
R ∞
0 r3(1 + r2)−3dr = 1/4. Also t4ρt(ty) = ρ1(y). Hence for every continuous compactly
supported h,
R ρt(y −x)h(y)dy →h(x), by the change of variable y = x + tz and the integrable
majorant ρ1(z)∥h∥∞.
For a plane source il, form the potential Ab = δib∂lgt−δlb∂igt, and take its exterior derivative. It
satisfies the Bianchi identity by commutation of derivatives, while its divergence is δlb∂iρt −δib∂lρt.
The divergence of its bilinear stress with the source-free field f is therefore the contraction of
this expression with f; the terms from the symmetric derivative of v cancel by tracelessness and
the other terms cancel by skew symmetry.
Integration by parts against χ transfers the source
derivatives to the smooth compact test made from χ, v, f. The preceding approximate-identity
limit evaluates their difference at x, giving −δvfil(x). On the shell the regulated exterior derivative
converges smoothly to the pulse, since that compact shell avoids x. Its flux thus converges to the
left side of (FS2). This proves the plane-source case with the stated sign.
Differentiate the source center in any direction while keeping the cutoffand vector field fixed. All
differentiated shell integrands have a common bound on a fixed compact annulus, so differentiation
passes through the integral. A center derivative raises the source leg by that direction; on the
right it differentiates the sample of δvf. Induction gives (FS2) for all derivative legs; linearity gives
every solution-jet functional. The wave property of δvf for the three motions ensures these samples
respect the Maxwell jet relations.
For a constant vector ei, (FS2) gives minus the derivative-leg sample. For v(y) = A(y −x), with
A skew, it gives minus the infinitesimal tensor rotation. For v(y) = y −x, a homogeneous solution
jet of derivative order j has Euler contribution j, and the two form indices contribute two more.
Thus the one-leg radial charge is −(j + 2) times that jet. This specifies the engineering weight,
including the two contributed by curvature rather than its derivatives.
When both pulses are centered at x, use cutoffindependence and homogeneity instead of mul-
tiplying distributions at their common pole. Two cutoffs equal to one near x have a difference
supported away from x; source-free integration by parts makes their fluxes equal. Replace the
cutoffby its dilation by a factor two about x. A jet-order-j pulse scales by 2−4−j; the other scales
by 2−4−l; the volume and cutoffderivative together contribute 23, and a motion homogeneous of
degree e = 0 or 1 contributes 2e. Thus the common flux Z equals 2e−5−j−lZ. That coefficient is
strictly smaller than one, so Z = 0. When neither pulse is centered at x, their fields are smooth
throughout the support of the cutoff, and the source-free divergence identity gives zero. When
precisely one pulse is centered there and the other is at a spectator point, (FS2) gives minus the
covariance with the transformed distinguished leg.
Now insert the quadratic Wick stress in an arbitrary Wick monomial word.
Double Wick
extraction expresses its correlation as one half the sum over ordered choices of two occurrences, times
the bilinear pulse current for those occurrences and the Wick pairing of all remaining occurrences.
There are exactly the three cases just considered. The terms with both distinguished occurrences
or with neither distinguished occurrence vanish. In each remaining term exactly one occurrence
of the distinguished monomial is transformed. The two orders of the selected pair cancel the one
half. Summing over its occurrences is the Leibniz rule for the derivation on that monomial. By

Here Dv is respectively translation, rotation, or the engineering-weight derivation. This proves
the three shell laws, including their common minus sign, and includes every contraction term. In
particular conservation of the free stress alone was not being used as a substitute for its charge
normalization.
Source–readout formulation.
The shell functional is a reader of the stress insertion that de-
pends on the auxiliary cutoffχ only through the set of enclosed insertions: two cutoffs equal to
one near x and avoiding the spectators give equal values. The cutoffis thus a presentation choice
with trivial effect on the readout, and (FS3) says that the reader returns the derivation −Dv on
the enclosed label: the charge is recovered from the hierarchy and is not an extra datum.
16.9
Low-degree vector charges
Let Sj be the real space of homogeneous order-j Maxwell solution jets and Vj = S ∗
j .
Their
elements are the real one-leg test functionals. A variable at order j has engineering weight j + 2.
For p ∈Vj, write Bc(p) for its linear polynomial in color c, and set
[p, q] =
X
c
Bc(p)Bc(q).
This bracket denotes a color-contracted quadratic polynomial, not a Lie bracket. For a linear map
D : Sj →Vl, its polynomial is
C(D) =
X
ν
[eν, Deν],
(FS4)
where (eν) is any basis and (eν) its dual. This is basis-independent, and C(p ⊗q) = [p, q]. If j ̸= l,
assigning independent jets in these two orders in one nonzero color proves that C is injective.
Consider a vector row Ti on the invariant polynomial filtration, killing the unit, increasing
filtration by at most one, real under conjugation, and signed-covariant. Suppose it is silent, meaning
X
l
⟨P1(x1) · · · (TiPl)(xl) · · · Pn(xn)⟩= 0
(FS5)
for every allowed exterior word and separated configuration. At input weight four the invariant
space is spanned by the unit and [p, q] with p, q ∈V0. At output weight at most five the only further
possibility is a color-contracted pair of orders zero and one. Total inversion is even on weight four
and odd on such a pair. The vector law anticommutes with total inversion, and therefore removes
the weight-four part of the output. Reality permits real coefficients in (FS4). Consequently
Ti[p, p] = C(Di(p)),
Di(p) : S0 →V1.
(FS6)
Let Kz(p, q) denote the real single-color covariance between two test legs at displacement z ̸= 0.
To extract the constraint on (FS6), put two quadratic insertions at tu and zero, and a third at
a fixed nonzero point, and multiply (FS5) by t5. The covariance of jet orders zero and one is
homogeneous of degree −5. The triangle terms where the transformed order-one leg is on either
near insertion have a finite limit; the term with that leg at the distant insertion tends to zero. The
271

double contractions contribute 4 dim g. Choose the distant one-leg functional so that its covariance
with a zero-order test is evaluation on a prescribed X ∈S0. Cancelling the common nonzero factor
gives
Ku(Di(p)X, q) q(X) = Ku(Di(q)X, p) p(X).
(FS7)
The availability of these evaluations follows from covariance separation of solution jets.
First
suppose a test functional of order j has zero covariance with every order-zero plane test at every
nonzero displacement. Its pulse is then zero offits source, in every color component. Pair its
radial stress shell with the homogeneous polynomial Maxwell solution having any prescribed order-
j solution jet. The shell integral is zero because the pulse is zero there; (FS2) makes it −(j + 2)
times the test evaluated on that arbitrary jet. The functional is zero. For partner order l + 1,
vanishing against all such partners makes the radial derivative of its covariance with any order-l
partner zero. That covariance is homogeneous of degree −(4 + j + l); Euler’s rule makes the radial
derivative that nonzero scalar times the covariance. Thus it vanishes, and induction reduces to
order zero. Finite-dimensional duality now makes these covariance evaluations span the required
full dual. Thus no inverse of a covariance matrix at a single momentum is being assumed. This
also proves that the solution-jet space is nonzero at every order: otherwise separation against that
order would force the nonzero plane evaluation at order zero to vanish.
If p(X) = 0, (FS7) first makes Ku(Di(p)X, q) = 0 for q(X) ̸= 0. Given q(X) = 0, add a test
with nonzero value at X, apply that result to the sum, and subtract. Covariance separation gives
Di(p)X = 0. Hence ker p ⊆ker Di(p). Choose X0 with p(X0) ̸= 0; subtracting p(X)X0/p(X0) from
X proves
Di(p) = p ⊗fi(p),
Ti[p, p] = [p, fi(p)].
(FS8)
Set fi(0) = 0. For two nonzero linear functionals there is an X on which both are nonzero: use a
witness for one, a witness for the other, and their sum if needed. Substitution in (FS7) yields
Kz(fi(p), q) = Kz(fi(q), p).
(FS9)
Pair the difference fi(p + q) −fi(p) −fi(q) with an arbitrary one-leg test, use (FS9), and cancel by
linearity in its other slot. Separation makes the difference zero. The same argument with a scalar
proves homogeneity. Thus fi : V0 →V1 is real linear. Signed covariance of Ti, injectivity of (FS4),
and cancellation of a nonzero test functional give simultaneous signed covariance of the family fi.
We classify this family explicitly. Write cab for evaluation of a zero jet in the ab-plane and
siab = ∂icab for the corresponding first-jet functional. Under reflection of axis z, the latter has
character equal to the product of the three signs belonging to i, a, b.
Project onto a reflection
character by the four commuting projections (1 ± Rz)/2.
The character of f0(c01) leaves only
s001, s212, s313. Average the permutation interchanging axes two and three. The Maxwell relation
gives s212 + s313 = s001, so this fixed subspace is the line spanned by s001. Similarly the character
of f0(c12) leaves only s012, s102, s201. Antisymmetrize the interchange of axes one and two; the
Bianchi relation s102 −s201 = s012 leaves the line spanned by s012. Hence these two values have
scalar coefficients a, b.
Use (FS9) with p = c01, q = c12, and z = e0 + e2.
The explicit differentiated covariance
(FM2), evaluated below after (WE4), gives the same nonzero value −2c4 for s001, c12 and s012, c01.
Therefore a = b. Permutations fixing zero give all remaining plane evaluations, which span V0;
permutations moving zero give the other directions. We conclude
fi = a∂i,
Ti[p, p] = a[p, ∂ip].
(FS10)
Since ∂i[p, p] = 2[p, ∂ip], the scalar of the translation derivation is a/2. Squares span the symmetric
quadratic polynomials by polarization, and both rows kill the unit. This proves the entire degree-
four assertion, with its factor two, rather than just a classification of invariant labels.

Fixed-displacement evaluation and the triangular Wick calculation
Here are the three explicit evaluations used in (FS7)–(FS10). Put c4 = (4π2)−1, and let Hz =
I −2zzT/|z|2 for z ̸= 0. Its action on two-forms is the solution action ρ(Hz). If Eab is the unit
antisymmetric plane tensor, the differentiated covariance (FM2) gives
Kz(p, cab) = κz p(ρ(Hz)Eab),
κz = 4c4|z|−4 > 0.
(WE1)
Indeed substitute the second derivatives of c4|z|−2 into the two curls: their radial terms combine to
the product of the two Householder matrix entries on the antisymmetric indices, with the displayed
common radial factor. This is an identity on the six-dimensional real space of antisymmetric order-
zero solution tensors.
Given X ∈S0, set W

(WE2)
Thus the evaluation witness used at displacement −z in (FS7) exists at that displacement itself.
No change of the distant point or sum over different displacements is necessary.
Write Tx,y,z(A, B, C) for the three-point Wick moment. At each point its two letters are Wick
ordered, so a contraction cannot join two letters at that same point. In a pairing of the six letters,
each point must therefore have one leg going to each of the other two points. For letters a, v at the
first point, two equal letters p, p at the second, and q, q at the third, there are two choices of which
first-point letter goes to the second point. For either choice there are two choices of its partner
among the equal p’s and two choices of the partner among the equal q’s. The third edge is then
forced. Hence
Tx,y,z([a, v], [p, p], [q, q]) = 4 dim g {Kx−y(a, p)Kx−z(v, q)
+ Kx−z(a, q)Kx−y(v, p)}Ky−z(p, q).
(WE3)
The color factor is exactly dim g: the three edges give Kronecker deltas requiring all three summed
colors to coincide. All unequal-color summands are zero and each common color gives the same
real scalar expression.
Let x(t), y(t) →0, x(t)−y(t) = tu, u ̸= 0, with the third point z ̸= 0 fixed. The near covariance
of two order-zero legs scales as t−4, while that of orders one and zero scales as t−5. Multiplication
of (WE3) by t5 therefore gives
4 dim g {tKu(a, p)Kx(t)−z(v, q) + Kx(t)−z(a, q)Ku(v, p)}Ky(t)−z(p, q).
(WE4)
Every covariance involving the distant point is continuous in this limit. The first term tends to
zero; the second tends to 4 dim g K−z(a, q)Ku(v, p)K−z(p, q). If the order-one letter is instead at
the distant point, its two edges stay bounded and the only short edge is an order-zero covariance.
Multiplication by t5 leaves an extra factor t, so that whole term tends to zero. Expand the panel in
(FS6) in a basis as in (FS4), use (WE2) for the distant test, and apply these two limits to the three

silent terms. The common nonzero factor 4 dim g cancels; the odd sign of the order-one covariance
under u 7→−u gives exactly (FS7).
Finally take p = c01, q = c12. Substitution in (FM2) gives, at every z ̸= 0,
Kz(c01, c12) = 8c4z0z2(|z|2)−3.
Differentiation of the first leg in direction zero gives
Kz(s001, c12) = 8c4{z2(|z|2)−3 −6z2
0z2(|z|2)−4}.
At z = e0 + e2, its squared norm is two and both displayed coordinates are one.
The value
is 8c4(1/8 −6/16) = −2c4 ̸= 0. The order-zero covariance is symmetric in its two plane tests;
differentiating that symmetry gives the same value for Kz(s012, c01). Thus (FS9) reads −2c4a =
−2c4b, proving a = b in (FS10).
Source–readout formulation.
A silent vector row is, in the terms of the method, a candidate
vertical direction of the free readout: an operation on labels which no separated correlation with any
spectators can see when it is applied to every insertion in turn (FS5). The two subsections above
compute the fibre of such directions on degree-four fields and find that it is one dimensional, spanned
by translation: by (FS10) a silent row acts there as the scalar a/2 times ∂i. The computation is
a recovery of the Ward kernel from the hierarchy, not an assumption about it. Its inputs are the
explicit kernel (FM2), the reflection characters, the Maxwell and Bianchi relations among the first
jets, and one nonvanishing number: at z = e0 + e2 the mixed covariance equals −2c4 ̸= 0, which is
what forces the two constants a and b to agree through the symmetry (FS9). The fixed-displacement
Wick evaluation (WE1)–(WE4) is triangular in the filtration, and it is this triangularity that allows
the conclusion at weight four to be reached without knowledge of higher-weight rows. The exactness
class is exact recovery within the free comparison sector.
16.11
Detection with a fixed exterior degree bound
We first establish the collision extraction that will be used in the polynomial argument.
Put
Ra(x) = |x|2a. Say that F is cleared at order a when RaF, initially defined offzero, extends to a
real analytic function on all of R4. A harmonic pole of degree r is analytic offzero, homogeneous of
degree −r under positive dilations, harmonic there, and cleared at order r −1. The differentiated
single-leg covariance of jet orders k, j is such a pole with r = 4 + k + j. A cleared homogeneous
term of degree j means a function homogeneous of degree −j cleared at order max(j −2, 0). A
product of poles of positive degrees a, b is a cleared homogeneous term of degree a + b, because the
product of their analytic numerators clears it at order (a −1) + (b −1).
The pole assertion for the differentiated kernels has a short direct proof. The Green function
c4|x|−2 is homogeneous of degree −2; multiplying it by |x|2 leaves the constant c4. Away from zero
its Laplacian vanishes, since the radial Laplacian in dimension four gives f′′(r) + 3f′(r)/r = 0 for
f(r) = r−2. Suppose F is a pole of degree r ≥2 with numerator g = Rr−1F. For a fixed direction
v, differentiation gives the numerator identity
RrDvF = R1Dvg −(r −1)(DvR1)g.
(HC0)
Its right side is defined with the same regularity on all real space. Differentiating the dilation
identity makes DvF homogeneous of degree −(r + 1), and commuting ordinary derivatives with
the Laplacian shows it is harmonic offzero. Thus differentiation raises the pole degree by one and
274

retains the required clearing order. Finite linear combinations of equal-degree poles retain all these
properties. The two curls in (FM2) are a finite combination of second derivatives of the Green
function, so have degree four. The two jet orders add k + j derivatives, with the factor (−1)j for
derivatives at the second endpoint. Color pairings and arbitrary probe coordinates are fixed linear
maps. This proves exactly the degree 4 + k + j and clearing hypothesis used above. It also gives a
global bound |F(x)| ≤C|x|−r: bound the continuous function on the unit sphere and use positive
dilation homogeneity. All uses here are offthe real collision point; no contact value or complex
cone division is involved.
For a harmonic homogeneous F of degree −r, Euler’s identity x · ∇F = −rF, together with the
product rule for the four-dimensional Laplacian, gives
∆(Ra+1F) = 4(a + 1)(a + 2 −r)RaF.
(HC1)
For example ∆(|x|2F) = 8F +4x·∇F; the general formula follows either by the same differentiation
or induction. If r ≥2 and the pole is cleared already at order r −2, it is zero. Indeed, starting
with its analytic numerator at that order, (HC1) repeatedly produces an analytic numerator one
order lower. At each step a ≤r −3, so the displayed coefficient is nonzero. At the last step F
itself extends analytically. Its homogeneity then implies F(x) = trF(tx) →0 as t ↓0. For r = 2,
clearing at order zero gives this conclusion immediately.
Here is the exact finite expansion needed; it includes terms more singular than the pole being
extracted. For integers r, M, write
tr

F(tx) −
X
j<M
Wj(tx)

−→K(x)
(x ̸= 0),
(HC2)
where each Wj is a cleared homogeneous term of degree j, and K is a harmonic pole of degree r. If
F(tx) = 0 for all sufficiently small positive t, then K = 0, for r ≥2. To prove this, peel the finite
sum from its largest degree. A nonzero term of degree J > r would diverge after scaling by tr;
multiplying the convergent expression by tJ−r forces WJ = 0. Repeat until only degrees at most r
remain. Degrees below r tend to zero; the limit is the degree-r term. Thus −K = Wr, or is zero
if that degree is absent. In either case K is cleared at order r −2, and (HC1) makes it zero. This
finite peeling, rather than a choice of a large scaling exponent, removes the more singular double
contractions.
To apply this statement, let P contain jets through order j, let a pair of test legs of orders k, l,
with l < k, be inserted at x0 + z, and keep the other vertices separated. The contraction of an
order-k probe p with the order-a variables of P is the differential operator
Ba(p, z)P =
X
ν
Kz(p, ea,ν) ∂a,νP,
B(p, z)P =
j
X
a=0
Ba(p, z)P.
(HC3)
The index ν includes the jet basis and color. Wick’s rule applies the two operators to every ordered
pair of vertices. Set r = 4 + k + j and M = 8 + k + l + 2j + 1. There are four cases.
1. Both legs contract at x0. The resulting finite sum consists of second partial derivatives of P
times products of two kernels. Their degrees are 8 + k + l + a + b < M, with a, b ≤j. They
are the cleared terms W in (HC2), with harmonic part zero.
2. The order-k leg contracts at x0, and the order-l leg at another vertex. The distant contraction
is analytic at z = 0. Multiplication by tr selects only Bj(p, z); the terms a < j have smaller
pole degree and vanish. The distant contraction tends to its value at z = 0.
275

3. The order-l leg contracts at x0, and the other leg is distant. Its largest pole degree is 4+l+j <
r, so the scaled limit is zero.
4. Both vertices are distant. Every coefficient is regular at z = 0, so the scaled limit is zero.
These conclusions require only continuity of the distant Wick coefficients for the scaled limit;
the coefficients are in fact analytic. Summing the finitely many placements proves (HC2). In case 2,
summing the distant placements is Wick’s first-leg identity at x0. Summing colors in the invariant
two-leg tester therefore gives harmonic part

Y
i
Vi(xi)⟩,
Cj(p, q; z)P =
X
c
B(q, c) Bj(p ⊗c, z)P.
(HC4)
Here B(q, c) is the order-l, color-c jet variable. Orthogonality of the color action makes the sum
invariant. The operator replaces a variable of weight j + 2 by one of weight l + 2, so it strictly
lowers engineering weight whenever l < j.
If P is a ghost at exterior cap d, and 4 + k + l ≤d, the inserted invariant pair is an allowed
spectator. For every fixed nonzero direction z, all the inserted points stay separated for sufficiently
small positive t. Permuting the inserted pair past P, ghost vanishing makes the left side before
subtraction in (HC2) zero. Finite peeling and (HC1) now give K(z) = 0 for every z ̸= 0. Since
the spectator word was arbitrary, Cj(p, q; z)P is itself a ghost at the same cap. This is the cluster
extraction used below; it retains arbitrary spectator arity while keeping each spectator’s degree
bounded.
The passage to arbitrary input weight needs a uniform form of polynomial separation.
An
exterior bound d limits the weight of each spectator field, while allowing arbitrarily many spectators.
Call a polynomial a ghost at bound d if all its separated correlations with all such spectator words
vanish. We prove that one finite d, depending on the group, detects polynomials of every input
weight. This is stronger than a Gram statement at a fixed input cap.
First, separated single-leg covariances with fixed partner jet order span the dual of each homoge-
neous solution-jet space. Their annihilator is zero by the differentiated covariance separation used
in (FS7), and finite-dimensional duality proves the span assertion. Consequently if every single
contraction of a polynomial with those tests is zero, all its partial derivatives in the corresponding
jet variables are zero. Indeed a single contraction is the sum of those partial derivatives multiplied
by the covariance coordinates; linear combinations of the spanning covectors isolate each derivative.
Next we must separate colors using invariant tests.
Put q = dim g.
For every color index
c = 0, . . . , q −1, choose a nonzero functional pc ∈Vc and a solution jet Xc with pc(Xc) = 1. Such
jets exist at every order. Form the polynomial matrix
Mcb = Bb(pc).
(FS11)
Its determinant is not the zero polynomial: assign the order-c jet to color c with value Xc, and
all other color components at that order to zero.
This evaluation makes M the identity.
The
argument takes place in the polynomial ring, which is an integral domain. It does not assert that
M is invertible at every field configuration.
Suppose a polynomial has no jet variables above order j +1. Extract a mixed cluster consisting
of one highest-order contracted leg and one of the low-order color tests just chosen. Vanishing
of these extracted correlations says MD = 0, where Db is the single contraction in color b with
the highest-order variables. Multiply by the adjugate: det(M)Db = 0. Since the determinant is a
nonzero polynomial, Db = 0. The preceding dual-span argument makes every highest-order partial
derivative zero. Over characteristic zero a variable occurring with a positive power has a nonzero

partial derivative, so the polynomial contains no variable at that order. This removes the highest
jet order one layer at a time.
We spell out the bounded-degree and induction aspects of the cluster extraction. Set j = q,
L = j+1. The polynomial ring on jets through order j has finitely many variables and is Noetherian.
Form its ideal generated by all positive polynomial-length homogeneous invariant polynomials.
Choose finitely many such generators of this ideal, and let r bound their engineering weights.
They generate every invariant polynomial as an algebra: for an invariant polynomial of length
k > 0, express it in the ideal, take its length-k component, and average the coefficients over the
compact group. Averaging is a projection onto invariant polynomials and satisfies R(hg) = R(h)g
for invariant g.
For a generator of positive length l, its coefficient after this projection is the
averaged length-k −l part of the old coefficient; it has length strictly smaller than k. Induction on
length expresses it as products of the same generators. Constants are empty products. Thus every
invariant polynomial homogeneous of length k on this shelf lies in the span of products Q
i Vi, with
each Vi invariant of engineering weight at most r, homogeneous of length ki, and P
i ki = k. This
is the finite hosting bound; the number of factors is unrestricted.
Here is the precise coalescence argument that uses it. Suppose a ghost P has all length compo-
nents below k zero. Fix x ̸= y and a hosted product Q = Qn−1
i=0 Vi of total length k. Place P at x
and Vi at y + tie0, for t > 0 sufficiently small. These points are distinct and avoid x. Expand all
polynomials into monomials and apply Wick’s rule. A monomial of P of length l > k has too many
letters to pair with the k exterior letters: it has no internal pair at x, so its moment is exactly zero.
If l = k, every exterior letter must pair with a letter at x, leaving no exterior-to-exterior pair. All
the resulting kernel arguments approach the nonzero vector x −y; their finite products therefore
converge. Terms l < k are absent by hypothesis. The limit is exactly the two-point Wick pairing
Bx,y(Pk, Q), where Pk is the length-k component. Ghost vanishing at every positive separated t
makes this limit zero. Linearity extends it from products to their span. No estimate of kernels
between coalescing exterior points is needed, since the pairing count removes those kernels before
taking the limit.
Induct on k. Let Pk be the first possibly nonzero length component and reflect its complex
conjugate across the time hyperplane, giving Q = Pk
ref. The shelf, invariance, engineering cap and
length are preserved by this operation. The hosting result puts Q in the allowed span. At points
−e0, e0 its reflected Wick pairing with Pk is strictly positive if Pk ̸= 0, by the polynomial Gram
calculation above. Coalescence has made the same pairing zero, a contradiction. Thus Pk = 0.
Every polynomial has only finitely many length components, so this induction proves that a ghost
lying on this fixed shelf is zero. Define
d = max{r, 4 + j + L}.
(FS12)
Induct on the engineering weight of the candidate ghost. If its highest jet order is J > j, cluster
a pair of jet tests of orders L and l < q. Its weight is 4 + L + l ≤d, and l < L, l < J. Apply
(HC2)–(HC4) with highest shelf order J: the finite cutoffis 8 + L + l + 2J + 1, and the extracted
pole degree is 4 + L + J. The extracted mixed contraction is a ghost of strictly smaller engineering
weight, hence is zero by induction. The color-matrix argument then removes the highest jet layer.
Repeating leaves a polynomial on the shelf through j, where the hosting tests separate it. The
weight-zero case is the constant, detected by the empty word. This proves
∃d ∀w ∀P of weight at most w,
P a ghost at bound d =⇒P = 0.
(FS13)
The same finite bound is used before the finite-dimensional Ward readers are selected.
In
particular one takes their cap at least max(d, 4); lower-cap conclusions then follow by the filtered

inclusions. Arbitrarily high output weight in (FS13) is permitted, but arbitrarily high individual
spectator degree has not been silently introduced.
Source–readout formulation.
Detection is the statement that the free readout is faithful on the
physical label space when the exterior probes are restricted to a fixed finite degree. The quantifier
order is the content: one degree bound d serves all weights.
Lemma 16.6 (Finite peeling). Suppose

(x ̸= 0),
with Wj cleared homogeneous of degree j and K a harmonic pole of degree r ≥2. If F(tx) = 0 for
all small t > 0 then K = 0.
Proof. Peel from the largest degree: a nonzero WJ with J > r would diverge, and multiplying the
convergent expression by tJ−r forces WJ = 0. Then degrees below r tend to zero and −K = Wr
(or K = 0), cleared at order r −2, hence zero by (HC1).
Theorem 16.7 (Faithful readout with bounded probes).
∃d ∀w ∀P of weight at most w :
P a ghost at bound d =⇒P = 0.
Proof. Induct on the engineering weight. If the highest jet order of P is J > j, cluster a pair of
tests of orders L and l < q: its weight is 4 + L + l ≤d and l < L, l < J. By (HC2)–(HC4) with
shelf order J (cutoff8 + L + l + 2J + 1, pole degree 4 + L + J) the mixed contraction is a ghost
of smaller weight, hence zero, and the color-matrix argument removes the highest layer. Repeating
leaves a polynomial on the shelf, where the hosting tests separate it. Weight zero is the constant,
detected by the empty word.
In source–readout terms the theorem says that the fibre of the readout “all separated free
correlations against exterior words of degree at most d” over zero is trivial on the quotient by the
equation ideal. A ghost would be a nonzero vertical direction of this restricted readout; the peeling
lemma removes it by extracting, at the leading scaled order, a harmonic pole that must vanish.
The degree bound matters for the later transfer: only finitely many probes per weight are needed,
so the rank conditions transferred to the interacting hierarchy involve finite matrices.
16.12
Elimination of higher-degree vector and angular defects
Subtract from a silent vector row the scalar translation obtained in (FS10), and denote the residual
row by Qi. It is silent, kills every degree-four field, and in particular kills the free stress. Insert that
stress as an additional spectator in (FS5), apply its radial shell identity (FS3), and subtract the
silent identity with the engineering-weight derivative applied to the distinguished field. The terms
where the row acts on a spectator cancel in pairs. The stress term is zero. What remains says that
[E, Qi]P
is a ghost,
E =
X
ν
wνXν∂Xν,
wν = jet order of Xν + 2.
(FS14)
All additional stress fields have degree four and the spectator cap is the fixed one in (FS13). Thus
(FS13) gives [E, Qi]P = 0.
Every polynomial is a finite sum of engineering-weight components Pk, and EPk = kPk. A
map commuting with E preserves each such eigenspace: projecting its image onto weight l ̸= k

gives (l −k) times that projection equal to zero. Total inversion acts on a weight-k monomial
by (−1)k, because a derivative-order-j curvature variable has sign (−1)j = (−1)j+2.
But the
vector covariance law gives RQi = −QiR. On a preserved weight component these two rules give
simultaneously RQiPk = (−1)kQiPk and RQiPk = −(−1)kQiPk. Hence QiPk = 0, and Qi = 0
on the whole cap. This proves the full one-dimensional free translation-charge kernel used after
(RT17).
For the internal angular row the degree-four quarter-turn argument in (RT18)–(RT19) already
makes it zero on the free stress. Apply the angular version of (FS3) in the same silent identity. It
makes the commutator with each angular generator a ghost, and (FS13) makes that commutator
zero. On every finite filtered space, exponentiating a finite matrix gives the unique solution of its
linear differential equation. Commutation with the generator therefore gives commutation with
its quarter-turn. Signed covariance of the two alternating Lie-algebra slots and the plane-basis
calculation following (RT19) then make every component zero at that cap.
This supplies the
higher-degree angular separation with the required bounded exterior tests.
Finally the analytic segment argument following (RT19) converts the collinear scene readings
and all their position derivatives into the full silent identity (FS5). Taking the cap in (FS12)–
(FS13), the preceding arguments identify its kernel. Finite-dimensional decreasing-kernel selection
gives a finite list with exactly that kernel. Its nonzero minors remain nonzero for the convergent
interacting reading matrices. This proves the rank transfer used to normalize the actual translation
charge and eliminate the actual internal angular defect.
Source–readout formulation.
In the free sector the Ward readout (all silent identities) has ker-
nel exactly the one-dimensional translation line and no angular component; the charge is therefore
recovered up to one real scalar, which the shell law (FS3) fixes. This is an exact statement about
the imported comparison realization. Its transfer to the interacting hierarchy is a rank transfer: a
finite reader list with nonzero minors in the free sector keeps nonzero minors along convergent inter-
acting reading matrices. The lift records the free statement as exact, and the interacting statement
as conditional on those convergences, which are supplied by the comparison estimates of the trace
chapter. Under the frame realization all objects of this section are functions of gauge-invariant
labels and are unchanged.
17
Physical labels and their detection
From coefficient readings to physical labels.
The free comparison hierarchy and its Taylor
readers have supplied a finite coefficient language. The physical detector must now be built from
actual local lattice cylinders. A coefficient vector and its chosen representative are different objects.
The calibrated section selects a representative, while the quotient identifies precisely the equation
directions that all allowed spectator readings annihilate.
The arguments below first bound coefficients before passing to limits, then prove equation can-
cellation using Haar integration by parts. The triangular and equivariant constructions preserve
this cancellation through the chosen section, gauge averaging and corrected whole cylinders. Trials
are placed in the same physical histories; their limits cannot be assembled from individually favor-
able but incompatible histories. The Kelvin and Wick tests supply the separation needed for the
detector. What is recovered is the complete coefficient reading and its physical image on the stated
finite degree spaces. The bare representative is recoverable only after a section is fixed; quotienting
does not make it unique, and a finite reader is not an inverse on all unreduced histories.

A detector on physical coefficient space
At fixed degree let E be coefficient space, I its equation ideal and r = dim(E/I). The foundation
identifies ker πi with an invertible image of I, so rank-nullity gives dim ran πi = r uniformly in
cutoffs; detector notation has r = dim + 1. This dimension statement does not assert that every
bare coefficient survives the equations. Choose r trained vectors ej,i bounded by v. Their limiting
response matrix has full column rank. Compactness of its unit sphere gives a positive lower norm,
stable under sufficiently small entry perturbations δ > 0, with left-inverse bound L.
Train at
ε = δ/4. Finite training and short-distance probe errors each cost ε. Replacing trials by πiej,i
adds a third error: the difference has zero projection, and equation cancellation makes its probe
eventually below ε, simultaneously for finite j. The projected response is within 3ε < δ and its
columns are independent. The range dimension bound makes them spanning. With projection
norm bound A, their norms are at most Av; stable inversion yields
∥πix∥≤ArvL ∥Liπix∥.
Choose training index first, then small positive probe scale, then a tail of the whole-mesh filter.
Constants are independent of remaining cutoffs and volume. Equation cancellation uses banked
insertion estimates (IC3)–(IC5) with flight exponent −1/32; separated reflected Wick pairing below
supplies the full-rank reference. For explicit stability let G : Cr →Cs obey |u| ≤K|Gu| in sup
norm and set δ = [2K(r + 1)]−1. Column errors of H −G at most δ imply
∥(H −G)u∥≤rδ∥u∥,
∥u∥≤K∥Hu∥+ 1
2∥u∥.
Thus L = 2K suffices. Reference injectivity follows from correlation functionals separating the
free quotient; their basis matrix is G. The lift retains equation ideal, projection, trained columns,
response functionals and ordered choices. Recovery preserves their finite rank and stability proof on
the same varying projected columns, with the banked and Wick dependencies retained explicitly.
For explicit coefficient-space recovery, let pE read coefficient data and jE be its section, with
pEjE = IE. Define
bπi = jEπipE,
bLi = LipE.
Then pEbπi = πipE, and ran bπi = jE(ran πi).
The transported section norm makes this range
isometric to the physical range, preserving its dimension r and its detector inequality:
∥bπiζ∥Z ≤ArvL ∥bLibπiζ∥.
The lifted trial columns are jEπiej,i and have exactly the same response entries as the original
projected trials. Hence all three error allowances and the explicit stable inverse are recovered on
the same columns.
Equation-kernel recovery remains ker bπi = p−1
E (ker πi); section composition
returns the identified equation ideal. This transports rank, detector constants and the ordered
training/probe/mesh choices while distinguishing coefficient projection from the gauge-field read-
out.
17.2
Bounding physical coefficients before limits
For difference coefficients xi let Xi = πixi, with π2
i = πi and detector inequality ∥Xi∥≤Z∥LiXi∥.
Bounded Wilson insertions and vanishing tested errors give ∥Lixi∥≤c, but the equation remainder
need not be coefficient small. Normalize instead by
fi = (1 + ∥Xi∥)−1,
yi = fiXi,
zi = fi(xi −Xi).
280


## Source page 284

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

Then ∥yi∥≤1, 0 < fi ≤1, and closure under bounded scaling and subtraction of bounded families
keeps zi admissible. Idempotence gives πizi = 0. Literal Wilson equation cancellation makes its
tested observables vanish, eventually Z∥Lizi∥≤1/2. Consequently
Z∥Li(Xi −xi)∥≤1
2(1 + ∥Xi∥),
∥Xi∥≤Zc + 1
2(1 + ∥Xi∥),
∥Xi∥≤2Zc + 1
Thus projected primary costs are fixed before limits. The unprojected remainder has zero projection,
hence vanishing and fixed cost by cancellation.
Subtracting it and the original approximation
error gives fixed cost for the difference insertion, using the actual detector copy count. For slot
correlations, a position difference in slot j changes only its factor. Compact-space continuity gives
integrability, so finite subtraction commutes with Wilson integration. Iteration expresses mixed
lattice differences exactly by shifted/differenced slot insertions.
The detector and cancellation
estimates therefore give their stated fixed-cost bounds.
The lift retains idempotent projection,
admissible normalized families and slot shifts. Recovery preserves this normalization and finite
subtraction, transporting the absorption argument and its literal Wilson cancellation dependency
without replacing it by a coefficient-norm hypothesis.
Using the coefficient section jE, realize the normalized families as bXi = jEXi, byi = jEyi and
bzi = jEzi. Their transported norms give
fi = (1 + ∥bXi∥Z)−1,
bπibzi = 0,
bLibzi = Lizi.
Thus the identical cancellation input and detector bound produce ∥bXi∥Z ≤2Zc + 1, recovered
by pE and the section. For a lattice shift h of slot j, retain both slot addresses and define its
difference reader by finite subtraction. Coefficientwise lifting is linear, so the difference of lifted slot
readers equals the lift of that difference. Exact Wilson measure pushforward then preserves the
equality between the correlation difference and the integral of the differenced slot product. Iterating
preserves every prescribed mixed difference and its actual detector copy count. This recovers the
fixed-cost conclusion with the same admissibility and equation-cancellation dependencies.
17.3
Equation cancellation in the physical detector
At grade d, the marking identity for y ∈Id gives zero Wilson expectation of its marked insertion
against bounded measurable spectators outside a finite neighborhood on sufficiently large lattices.
A finite basis of Id makes radius and size thresholds uniform by taking maxima; linearity permits
arbitrary complex coefficients. Fix reporting level k. Fine chambers eventually contain this neigh-
borhood strictly. Place translated copies in the prescribed chambers, distinguishing chamber zero;
all other copies form a bounded measurable exterior spectator. Therefore

Indeed expand in the fixed finite signed-orbit frame tally. Each basis comparison costs flight−1/16;
scalar bounds sum subexponentially and are eventually at most flight−1/32/flight−1/16.

recombination is exact, and signed motions/conjugations commute by covariance. The hallmark
seminorm is zero by chambers, hence
upper(xi) = Oroot(flight−1/32(i))
(xi ∈ker πi).
(IC4)
Apply to xi −πixi by idempotence. Projected and unprojected trials have identical limiting re-
sponses. The equation carrier is an invertible image of Id, and the free observable kernel is exactly
Id, giving free quotient rank by rank-nullity, without assuming independence of all bare coefficients.
Reference rows are linear free correlation functionals, variable quotient field in the first slot and
fixed basis spectators elsewhere. Their separating family has zero common kernel, so its quotient-
basis matrix is injective. Stability and (IC4) therefore act on the same projected trial columns.
The lift retains marking neighborhoods, chamber copies, trained charts and finite orbit tally. Re-
covery preserves the local spectator identity and exact chart recombination, transporting zero root
seminorm and its flight error with the original growth and limit-order hypotheses.
The chamber cancellation has an exact source integral reader. Let F = Q
a fa be the original
finite chamber product, with its distinguished copy and exterior spectator recorded. Exact Wilson
pushforward gives
Z
F ◦π dμZ
β =
Z
F dμβ = 0.
The section recovers each translated copy and its scale normalization; its support addresses retain
the exterior-spectator condition. Taking the same absolute-value root therefore gives the identical
zero seminorm.
For the chart step, retain the inverses in their stated order: yi = P −1
i
Z−1
i
xi
and ZiPiyi = xi. Coefficient readout and section recover these finite linear operations and the
signed-orbit tally. Each flight majorant is the same scalar reader, so the subexponential coefficient
payment transports (IC3) and then (IC4) with exponent −1/32. The same recovered projected trial
columns consequently have the original cancellation and detector responses on the fixed-reporting-
level whole-mesh tail.

Haar integration by parts and triangular local realization
Vary a stored positive link by Ue 7→exp(tA)Ue, with derivative ∇e,A. Product Haar is invariant
and
∇e,AS = ⟨A, Ee⟩.
Here Ee is the sum of the incident plaquette curvatures, with a backward incidence transported by
the inverse preceding link. For plane i < j, the axis-i incidence is Fij(x)−AdU−1
x−ej,j Fij(x−ej); axis
j gives the negative analogous i difference, with other types zero. Ordered four-factor differentiation
supplies inverse-link signs. Curvature projection and skew-adjointness give normalization
−Re tr(colorMat(A) mat(g)) = repDim⟨A, curvature(g)⟩.
For continuous W and derivative, and bounded measurable spectator S unchanged by this variation,
invariance yields
Eβ[(∇e,AW −β⟨A, Ee⟩W)S] = 0.
(IC5)
The group law extends the derivative to every t.
Compactness bounds the continuous Wilson-
weighted derivative; multiplying by the spectator bound and the fundamental theorem gives a
uniform integrable difference-quotient majorant. Differentiate the constant Haar integral and divide
by its positive partition function. Spectators need neither continuity nor gauge invariance. For
W = 1, nonzero β gives exact equation expectation zero. Marking retains multiplier derivatives on

varied links. The local identity holds outside a common radius, above a common torus size, for all
nonzero real beta. Finite sums, scalars and conjugation preserve it by taking maximal radii/sizes
and using the real Wilson law. One must also arrange the desired continuum label while enforcing
these exact identities: the finite graded construction supplies a linear pair p 7→(Qp, fp), with
gauge-invariant local polynomial fp of leading jet Qp. Strictly higher lexicographic errors make
Q triangular and injective by its first nonzero graded piece; finite dimension makes it invertible.
The same argument preserves descending weight filtrations under Q−1. Thus Y (p) = fQ−1p has
leading jet p, retained power filtration and exact equation marking. Paired construction imposes
conjugation, signed symmetry and fixed unit on Q, Q−1, Y .
Enclose finitely many frame-basis
polynomial stencils in one centered signed-invariant box containing zero; rewrite in its coordinates
and extend linearly.
Basis equality recovers Y on all coefficients.
The lift retains varied-link
incidence, marking radii, graded ordering and this common stencil. Readout commutes with Haar
integration and finite triangular inversion, preserving (IC5) and the exact leading-jet realization.
The varied-link operation has an explicit realization on frame data. Write a for the physical
color direction and e = (x, y) for the stored link. Keep r fixed and replace its link coordinate by
Ae(t) = rx exp(ta)r−1
x Ae.
Its readout is π(r, A(t))e = exp(ta)π(r, A)e, with every other physical link unchanged. Conditional
Haar invariance therefore recovers the original variation. Differentiating a smooth reader composed
with π gives the physical ∇e,a reader exactly; the exterior spectator is unchanged under this re-
alized variation too. Exact Wilson pushforward then transports (IC5), with its original bounded
measurable spectator and positive partition function. Section recovery gives the same incidence
signs and color normalization. For the finite graded realization, retain the linear matrices Q, Q−1
and the polynomial stencil together. Reading the leading jet before and after Q−1 returns p, while
the exact equation marking is recovered under the same finite linear combinations. These are local
operations chosen before subsequent scheduling, so recovery preserves that order of choices and the
fixed stencil’s derivative credits.
17.5
Graded and equivariant assembly of the fixed section
With R = Q, the fixed section obeys T(coords(Rp)) = fp, mapping the equation ideal to the
exact marking class. Compact polynomial bounds supply derivative credits. Choose section and R
once at grade d, before block, period, coupling, refinement or derivative-budget scheduling. This
explains why the local equation cancellation survives all subsequent scheduling choices. For each
weight m, let Em be homogeneous labels and Jm = Em ∩Id. Use the ordinary linear polynomial
lift on Em. On a finite basis of Jm, positioned equation lifts give pairs (q, f) with higher-weight
q −p, prescribed form, power bound, gauge invariance and marking identity. Extend linearly and
choose algebraic projection Lm : Em →Jm. Then
Fm(p) = F eq
m (Lmp) + F ord
m (p −Lmp).
On Jm the ordinary term vanishes; in general both preserve grade and leading label. Since J(0,0) = 0,
the unit maps to (1, 1). Finite homogeneous summation gives F; homogeneity of the ideal preserves
marking on its entire image. For signed label action θs and φs(q, f) = (θsq, f ◦pulls), average
Fav = |S|−1 X
s∈S
φsFθs−1.
Each summand preserves leading label, higher weights and marking. Weights sum to one, retaining
the unit; group reindexing proves equivariance. For semilinear real structure c(q, f) = (q, f), set
FR(p) = 1
2(Fav(p) + cFav(p)).

The paired semilinear composition is complex linear. Real structure commutes with signed action
and preserves grades, forms and marking, so the midpoint is real and signed-equivariant with
triangular leading map and fixed unit. Perform these averages before common-stencil construction
or cutoffchoice. The lift retains homogeneous projections and finite symmetry averages. Recovery
commutes with this linear assembly and triangular map, preserving the section’s exact marking
property and scheduling independence.
Recover the pair-valued graded lift by leaving its label coordinate unchanged and lifting its
polynomial coordinate: (q, f) 7→(q, f ◦π). Record the signed pullbacks and their induced source
action so that their readouts are the original signed pullbacks. Finite linearity then gives
bFm(p) = bF eq
m (Lmp) + bF ord
m (p −Lmp),
bFav = |S|−1 X
s
bφs bFθs−1.
Section recovery returns the original pairs in both formulas. Complex conjugation of coefficient
readers commutes with composition with π, so the same midpoint recovers FR. Leading labels,
the unit and higher-weight differences are therefore unchanged, and the equation subspace still has
its exact marking reader. The common finite stencil and triangular inverse can consequently be
retained with the same grade and power filtrations, chosen before all later scheduling parameters.
17.6
Finite polynomial gauge averaging and equation-ideal generation
For a powered local polynomial f, the constant-color orbit fg(U) = f(gaugeg U) spans a finite-
dimensional space: fixed representation and finite polynomial degree give finitely many coefficient
tensors. Gauge change of variables preserves its marking identity and spectator radius and bound.
Paired orbit vectors (1, fg) are finite dimensional; continuous first-coordinate and evaluation func-
tionals separate them and hence span the dual. Coordinate Haar integration yields an element of
their span with first coordinate one and second
 ̄f(U) =
Z
G
f(gaugeg U) dg.
It is a finite linear combination of orbit pairs. Leading label, higher weights, power and marking
therefore remain those of an actual finite polynomial. General gauge action on transported poly-
nomials uses its root value; Haar right invariance proves full gauge invariance. Equivariance and
uniqueness identify the color-invariant leading form in label space.
On degree-j jets choose projection Pj onto the injective free gauge-jet range. Variable substitu-
tion defines algebra map P, and equation labels are exactly Pp = 0, since polynomial evaluations
separate. Split each linear functional as (l−lPj) + lPj. Telescoping products against projected
products expresses every kernel polynomial as a finite sum with a literal equation-linear factor. Pro-
jection preserves jet degrees, so homogeneous terms keep their bidegrees; homogeneous components
remain in the ideal and no nonzero field-count-zero constant belongs to it. To lift leql1 · · · lr, express
the equation functional as a finite combination of linearized transported lattice forces. For each
force choose other-factor stencils avoiding its varied edge; their product is unchanged under that
variation, so (IC5) gives exact local silence. Combine only after obtaining each identity. Avoiding
ordinary factors agree with their linear functionals modulo field-count at least two; finite product
errors have count at least r + 1, and after the force at least r + 2, above target r + 1. Retained
higher linear force jet weights also remain strictly above target. Truncation and finite combination
thus give the target leading term with higher-weight remainder and exact silent lattice function.
This constructs positioned raw lifts of homogeneous ideal labels with the required triangular form.
Every resulting term contains one literal factor vanishing on free solution jets. The lift retains finite

orbit tensors, jet projections and individual avoiding stencils. Recovery commutes with their finite
algebra and normalized Haar averaging, preserving both exact silence and the full higher-weight
bookkeeping.

Its coefficientwise realization preserves every product, jet degree and literal equation factor. Section
recovery returns the original polynomial identity; finite monomial summation therefore recovers the
full ideal construction and its higher-weight errors. For gauge averaging, each realized orbit reader
is fg ◦π. At a fixed realized input,
Z
G
fg(π(z)) dg =  ̄f(π(z)).
The retained finite-dimensional orbit span represents this average by the same finite polynomial
coefficients. Its paired first coordinate remains one, preserving the leading label. Each force sum-
mand retains its own edge-avoiding stencil and exterior-spectator identity before the finite sum is
formed. Recovery thus preserves the actual polynomial realization, exact marking and triangular
jet bookkeeping together.

Carrier derivatives drop out because identity curvature is zero; incidence signs are those of (IC5).
A transverse difference of face averages is the three-unit-interval integral of a transverse derivative
by the fundamental theorem. Rescaling base and mesh by t, its order-lhomogeneous expression,
with the extra transverse factor, scales by tl. If every force probe vanishes, multiply orders by tj−l
and test integer addresses whose physical rescalings approach arbitrary x. At points t indext(x),
which tend to any prescribed x ∈R4, the resulting continuous expression vanishes.
As t ↓0,
lower orders vanish and interval averages shrink, leaving P
i ∂iF (j)
iν (x) = 0. Bianchi already holds
for radial-potential curvature jets, so the top jet is free.
A top-jet functional annihilating the
free range annihilates the common force kernel. Finite-dimensional annihilator duality expresses
it as an actual finite combination of force probes. Ordinary probes avoiding one forbidden edge
span the entire finite jet dual.
Outside finitely many sampling addresses, both approach path
and plaquette boundary can avoid the edge. Vanishing safe samples imply curvature polynomials
vanish at all integer points outside that set. Scaling to nonzero x eventually avoids the exception;
top homogeneous curvature vanishes, then continuity includes zero.
Descending induction and
injective radial reconstruction give zero jet array. Thus safe probes have zero common kernel and
finite-dimensional duality gives finite representations of all ordinary functionals. Finally
⟨X, Adg Ee⟩= ⟨Adg−1 X, Ee⟩.
An edge-avoiding carrier makes this color test invariant under varying e. Expand in a fixed real
color basis; each scalar coordinate, avoiding multiplier and remote spectator is unchanged. Apply

(IC5) with W = 1 termwise and sum finitely. The locality radius includes the force edge, and a
large enough side prevents periodic collision with remote edges. This completes exact positioned
marking. The lift retains safe routes, incidence signs, finite probe combinations and locality radii.
Readout preserves the finite-dimensional kernel argument and termwise Haar identity, recovering
the same equation lift and jet filtration.
The finite probe representation is recoverable as a linear certificate. Choose a finite spanning
subfamily of the force probes λ1, . . . , λm for the relevant annihilator, and record the coefficients of
leq = Pm
q=1 aqλq. For each forbidden edge record likewise the finite safe-probe representation of
each ordinary factor. With coefficient readout pE, composition gives
leq ◦pE =
m
X
q=1
aq(λq ◦pE).
The coefficient section recovers this exact certificate and its homogeneous jet ordering.
Every
lattice probe reader keeps its own carrier and sampling stencil, so edge avoidance survives readout.
Its transported color test, avoiding multiplier and remote spectator are consequently unchanged
under the realized link variation already constructed. Termwise recovery of (IC5), followed by the
recorded finite color sum, preserves the exact marking identity with the same locality radius and
torus-size restriction. Thus the finite dual certificate and its local lattice realization are recovered
together.

Uniform detector-trial placement
For fixed trained spectators define the actual lattice probe
Mi(f; x) = Eβi[f(x0)
n
Y
ν=1
Fν(xν)],
i = (N, p).
Compact-space continuity makes it complex linear in the first insertion. Linearity follows by ex-
panding the first factor under the finite Wilson probability integral; all local polynomial insertions
are continuous on the compact configuration space. Forward differences there equal differences
in its first position; iteration and the detector’s finite averaging preserve linearity on coefficients.
Trained generic placements lie inside one physical box. Choose closed generic neighborhoods with
|xν,a| < 1; pair-coordinate gaps have a positive minimum. Physical periods at least four preserve
this reserve for every volume, including the smallest admitted torus, since differences below two
cannot be closer to a nonzero period translate. Unextracted insertion estimates give uniform local
continuity on bounded coefficient balls. Replace the 4(n + 1) coordinates of nearby placements one
at a time, staying inside the neighborhood. Every intermediate replacement stays within their orig-
inal physical distance and within the chosen neighborhood. Each costs at most An+1R/r, yielding
|Mi(f; x) −Mi(f; y)| ≤4(n + 1)An+1R/r.
(IC6)
Reflected labels retain uniform bounds by their finite real-linear action. A scale-b detector average
displaces points by at most 2b per tested direction, so (IC6) makes its error arbitrarily small
uniformly on the whole-mesh tail and all volumes. Placement is exact because aN count(N, k) = ak.
Unaveraged trained columns approach free reference responses by finite-level training, whose error
tends to zero by the trained insertion estimates, and smooth free evaluation at approximate generic
positions, whose error tends to zero by smoothness of the free hierarchy on the distinct-position
configuration space. Intersect the finitely many row/column tails. Choose training error below δ/4,

then averaging error below δ/4 by small b, then projection error below δ/4 by (IC4). One common
mesh tail gives rank without extraction. Uniform trial and projection bounds give the required
prelimit detector inequality. The lift retains placements, separation reserves, direction lists and
exact refinement counts. Recovery preserves these correlations and finite differences, transporting
(IC6) and all three errors in their specified order.
The realized detector probe is the same correlation reader:

Mi(f; x) =

βi = Mi(f; x).
Store each prescribed physical position and its exact refinement count with the reader. The coeffi-
cient section recovers the tested insertion, and the field section recovers every placed slot. Hence
(IC6) has the same separation r and coefficient-ball bound for all admitted volumes. The detec-
tor’s finite probability average commutes with this equality. If Rb bounds the displacement of its
sampled placements, (IC6) bounds its averaging error by 4(n + 1)An+1Rb/r, with Rb →0 for the
fixed direction list. This recovers the ordered training, averaging and projection allowances on
their common whole-mesh tail, including reflected columns and the exact position identity. No new
placement or extracted subsequence is introduced by realization.

Thus moment error is bounded by the finite absolute coefficient price of F times gapk. That price
stays bounded near the fixed distinct placement, since all free submoments are continuous. This
supplies training convergence in (IC6). Singleton correction is Pa −F{a}; the pair is
(Pa −F{a})(Pb −F{b}) −(F{a,b} −F{a}F{b}).
Detector rows use at most two slots and retain this actual free cumulant. The pair correction is
therefore its actual free cumulant at the rescaled placement; it cannot be replaced by a product
of separately centered one-point terms.
For each grade and training index finitely many lifted
columns lie in a compact ball uniformly in both cutoffs. Countably many grade/training/column
triples permit successive extraction and diagonal refinement of both cutofforders, preserving earlier
hierarchy and projection limits. Replace placeholder limiting columns by these actual limits without
changing finite-cutoffbounds or placements. The corrected-cylinder bound passed through the fixed-
placement hierarchy gives convergence to the same free matrix. Stable rank and equation dimension
make limiting projected columns span the physical quotient; retaining these trials under null-label
removal gives the free quotient dimension at every grade. A single reference frame and separated
point pair suffice. Frame images span the quotient and include a nonzero unit; extend it to a
basis from those images, unit first. Real homogeneous frame and conjugation/bidegree- preserving

with the source’s replicated-root control of each reader understood. The lifted integral is identical
by normalized measure pushforward. In particular, coefficient recovery retains the pair cumulant
at this placement.
Write c(λ)
g,k,i for the finite-dimensional coefficient columns on the common cutoffrefinement. The
lift of these columns is the fixed linear section jE, and recovery is pE, with pEjE = I. Consequently,

g,k,i = jEcg,k,i,

g,k,i = cg,k,i.
Here the refinement is the source’s refinement of the ordered cutofflimits, retaining its earlier
hierarchy limits. Enumerating all (g, k, i) gives one compatible retained family; it introduces no
replacement for the prescribed cutofforder. The same section and recovery transport the selected
real, homogeneous unit-first frame and its quotient dimension.

Separated Wick detector and Kelvin triangular responses
For x ̸= y, let Bx,y be free two-point Wick pairing. The free quotient embeds in Maxwell solution-
jet polynomials. Reflect every tensor index of the conjugate polynomial through the plane per-
pendicular to x −y, giving p♯.
Reflected positivity yields Bx,y(p, p♯) > 0 for p ̸= 0.
Hence
p 7→(Bx,y(p, b0), . . . , Bx,y(p, bm)) is injective: basis expansion of p♯would otherwise contradict pos-
itivity. The all-spectator null space therefore has no remainder beyond the equation ideal. Choose
x = 0, y = (1, 1, 1, 1) for a generic pair. One row per basis partner, with one spectator each, gives
precisely the finite detector.

To retain the joint-order positivity input, put r(z) = ∥z∥−2 and let Rz be perpendicular reflec-
tion. A homogeneous order-j real solution probe has response
reply(P)(y) = sjr(y)2R⊗2
y P(inv(y)),
sj = 4(j + 1)(j + 2)(−2)j normal .
Translate its inverted-argument polynomial by −inv(z), decompose into degrees k ≤j and multiply
each by sj/sk, obtaining Tjk(z)P with diagonal P. Their response sum is
r(y)2R⊗2
y sjP(inv(y) −inv(z)).
For y = z+tv, inversion difference is tV (z, v, t) with smooth V and V (z, v, 0) = r(z)Rzv. Homogene-
ity gives factor tj, so jets below order j vanish and the normalized order-j jet is sjr(z)j+2RzP. The
lift retains the quotient basis, reflected partner, Kelvin factors and triangular lower-order probes.
Recovery preserves their finite polynomial transformations and Taylor jets, linking the detector to
the same joint-order positivity construction continued below.

The probe change is triangular with identity diagonal and invertible; equivalently its positive Gram

The identity for bTz is on the horizontal coefficient image; no inverse on redundant vertical coefficients
is asserted. In terms of homogeneous polynomial extraction [·]k, its blocks are exactly
Tjk(z)P = sj
sk
[P( · −inv(z))]k,
0 ≤k ≤j.
Thus the source retains the translation of the polynomial argument together with its form-index
reflection. The normalized jet reader is the physical jet reader after pE; it recovers both the zero
jets below j and the specified order-j Kelvin jet, including the single opposite-point factor (−1)j
in the reflected pairing.
For the simultaneous reflected form Gz define its source form by
GZ
z (ζ, η) = Gz(pEζ, pEη).
It recovers the entire tower form on jEE. Its polynomial extension retains the Wick contraction
rule, so in the retained orthogonal coordinates the source and recovered polynomial norms are both

Since the physical detector is injective by the retained reflected-partner argument, its source kernel
is precisely p−1

including the unit column, at the specified generic pair (0, (1, 1, 1, 1)).

The bracket reflects both antisymmetric form indices by Rx; the double radial contraction vanishes
by antisymmetry. Degree-j homogeneity changes rj+2S(x) to r2S(inv(x)), giving the stated Kelvin
response. The lift retains normalized tensors, trace/Bianchi/divergence constraints and derivative
ordering. Recovery preserves their finite contractions and induction, including every factorial and
sign in (IC7) and the detector’s Kelvin coefficient.
The second-point order-k sign (−1)k differentiates x −y and is included once. These Green-
function identities hold offthe origin.
Differential recovery offthe diagonal.
Regard the Green function and tensor responses as
functions of the physical separation x ̸= 0, with their coefficient source jE independent of x. For a
smooth coefficient-valued response f, finite dimensionality gives
pE∂α(jEf) = ∂αf,
pEDP (jEf) = DP f.
Tensor contraction is read through pE before the physical contraction; thus trace, divergence and
Bianchi constraints have exactly their stated physical kernels. In particular (IC7) is recovered as
pEDSim(jEG) = (−2)j normal rj+1Sim(x, . . . , x).
On the two-point configuration domain x ̸= y, the same reader gives
pE∂α
y jEf(x −y) = (−1)|α|(∂αf)(x −y).
It follows that the normalized factorial, curvature curl ordering and second-point sign are preserved
by one differential readout. These maps act on the smooth off-diagonal domain used in this passage;
they do not supply a new contact extension at zero separation.
17.13
Selecting trials on the physical history
Fix a finite detector panel, real reference representatives and positive comparison width b. Arbitrar-
ily late comparison indices k supply actual metering, restarted representations, admissible paths
and one-/two-insertion and marked estimates. For completeness, the passage from arbitrarily late
indices to a sequence makes all the geometric limits simultaneous. For all sufficiently fine N ≥k
they hold for every volume p; representations/readouts may depend on N, p, while k and its bounds
do not. Only insertion arities at most two are needed, since each panel row has at most one addi-
tional insertion. One finite linear label transport serves every row, retaining filtration, reality and
unit. Its inverse gives real lifts xN,p with
sup
N,p,ν
∥xN,p,ν∥≤Dk < ∞.
(IC8)
Complete exceptional early refinements by unit tuples and enlarge Dk; no estimate uses them.
Comparisons propagate from interval midpoint to starting width through the actual intermediate
representations. Reference coupling stays between half and all its value at k, so metering remains
valid. Conditioned insertion and path propagation give the starting-width bill with common ship-
ping error ε(k) →0. This is a statement about the transported physical insertions: it requires
neither an assertion of a stronger density comparison nor a newly chosen scale history. Intersect
finite panel thresholds on this same history. There are finitely many panel rows and coefficient
requests, so all their eventual thresholds can be met together. To make this statement include the
finitely many refinements preceding the availability threshold, put every member of the tuple equal

to the unit there, and enlarge Dk to include its norm. Writing starting width w(k) and positive
testing scale g(k), admissible indices have w(k) →∞, g(k) →0, ε(k) →0. Calendar depth proves
the first: a bounded width would contradict eventual calendar increase beyond its plateau depth.
Intersect the arbitrarily late supply with k > i, w(k) > j, g(k) < η, banking, grade and finite fit
conditions. Recursively select increasing kn, w(kn) and decreasing g(kn), all cofinal or tending to
zero as required. Choose (IC8) lifts at each selected index. Prescribed lattice marks fit the quarter
box with separation and stencil admissibility and approach fixed physical positions. Conditioned
estimates for all sufficiently fine N and every p, followed by stencil realization, identify trial entries
with corrected errors ε(kn) uniformly in volume. This supplies the actual trial sequence with com-
mon readout, unit and conjugation properties. The lift retains the selected physical history, finite
transport and quantifier order. Recovery preserves its bounded lifts and cofinal selection, including
the uniform volume scope of the detector trials.
Trial carrier and uniform-volume recovery.
Retain the selected calendar index, finite label
transport, admissible path, and physical marks as part of the source trial record. If Lk,N,p is that
transport and bν its fixed reference representatives, then on available refinements its coefficient
source and recovery are
xk,N,p,ν = L−1
k,N,pbν,
bxk,N,p,ν = jExk,N,p,ν,
pE bxk,N,p,ν = xk,N,p,ν.
With the section norm, (IC8) reads ∥bxk,N,p,ν∥= ∥xk,N,p,ν∥≤Dk. The exceptional early refinements
use the prescribed unit tuple on both sides. Their completion has no role in the eventual comparison
estimate. For each selected kn there is one threshold N0(kn) for the finite panel, with quantifier
order
∀n
∃N0(kn)
∀N ≥max{kn, N0(kn)}
∀p.
All rows use the same Lkn,N,p at these indices. Realization and normalized measure recovery give
exactly the same trial matrix:
MZ
n,N,p = Mn,N,p,
MZ
n,N,p;rν −Mref
n,N,p;rν
 ≤ε(kn).
Here the reference entry and corrected comparison are those at the prescribed lattice marks; their
physical configuration limit is retained. This equality preserves the source’s uniform volume bound
while allowing the representations and readouts to depend on N, p.
For an explicit cofinal selection, at the nth recursive step intersect the same arbitrarily late
supply with k > kn−1, w(k) > max{n, w(kn−1)}, and g(k) < min{1/n, g(kn−1)}, as well as ε(k) <
1/n and the stated banking, grade and fit conditions.
The source’s eventual limits make this
intersection nonempty. This records one sequence with all required limits, on the already retained
physical history. Section restriction recovers its unit, real structure, marks and every finite trial
entry before compact extraction.
18
The common continuum hierarchy
Two limits with different quantifiers.
At each suitable fixed physical period, transported
insertions and their two families of bounds establish a full mesh limit. Denoting a tested lattice
moment by MN,p(t), the required conclusion has the order
rp(t) = lim
N→∞MN,p(t),
lim
k→∞rp(q(k))(t) = S(t).
292

The first limit uses all sufficiently fine meshes. Only the outer period limit uses a selected refine-
ment of the requested period sequence. Auxiliary compact extractions help construct coefficients;
identification with the Cauchy limit prevents them from weakening the first conclusion to a mesh
subsequence statement.
Smearing, dense-position extension and derivative compatibility each use the norms and test
spaces specified below.
They do not follow from pointwise recovery alone.
The common field
quotient is formed on the same extraction and its calibrated equation image.
Kernel stability
under the nearby finite projections ensures that an invisible direction does not reappear after an
inclusion or derivative. This is the concrete congruence check required for operations on the physical
label space.
18.1
Fixed-level integrals from actual transported coefficients
Fix level m, period p, degree d and coefficient y. Along the chosen increasing finest cutoffs, the
transport construction gives a Cauchy sequence of primary coefficient vectors and a Cauchy se-
quence of captured interaction coefficients on one common dictionary at level m.
The capture
realization equals the same transported insertion’s interaction. Thus coefficient convergence is ap-
plied to the actual transported insertion, rather than to an independently chosen representative.
Coefficient estimates give uniform boundedness and Cauchy comparison over all configurations for
primary entries and forced profiles. Fixed spatial pullback, required conjugation and scalar multi-
plication preserve these. Finite-dimensional paid coefficient norms are bounded; continuous local
terms, measurable masks and convergent sums give measurability. Strip the vacuum scalar from
restored density, calling it Tn. Its mode is cold density times the selected coefficient of primary
polynomial exponential and background-plus-forced field polynomial. Fixed-level flux comparison
and insertion comparison make all factors uniformly Cauchy. Finite polynomial operations and
continuous maps on compact bounded ranges preserve this. Probability Haar integrals are Cauchy,
as are stripped partition functions with a common positive lower bound. Completeness and that
bound give the normalized quotient limit. The vacuum scalar cancels exactly, identifying this quo-
tient with the common-normalization insertion integral. This is the link between the fixed-level
coefficient construction and the earlier fine-to-intermediate comparison. The lift retains actual cap-
tures, dictionary and stripped factors. Recovery commutes with finite restoration and probability
integration, preserving this identification and denominator.
Uniform mode convergence under the readout.
At fixed (m, p, d, y) write Tn,A for any
restored mode after stripping the scalar vacuum factor, and Zn ≥δ > 0 for the corresponding
stripped partition function. On the framed source put T Z
n,A = Tn,A ◦π. Surjectivity and normalized
Haar pushforward give
∥T Z
n,A −T Z
l,A∥∞= ∥Tn,A −Tl,A∥∞,
an,A =
Z
Tn,A dμ =
Z
T Z
n,A dν.
Here π∗ν = μ is the fixed-level probability Haar prior, before multiplication by the restored density.
The actual captured coefficients, forced flags and measurable masks are the same in both integrands.
Thus |an,A −al,A| ≤∥Tn,A −Tl,A∥∞; no continuity of a mask is needed. If |al,A| ≤CA, then

an,A
Zn
−al,A
Zl
 ≤δ−1|an,A −al,A| + CAδ−2|Zn −Zl|.
Both terms tend to zero by the retained uniform coefficient construction. The cancelled vacuum
scalar is identical in numerator and denominator at every finite cutoff, so this recovered quotient
is the original common-normalization mode integral on this fixed level and period.

18.2
Public hierarchy identifications
The public Hilbert space, word domain, vacuum and fields are the reconstructed ones.
These
identifications keep the lattice limits, OPE terms and reconstructed fields attached to the same
table. Labels are the union of graded table fields; phases and probability measure are the character
decomposition. Selected and unselected correlations are that table’s evaluations, and OPE data
come from its one reader. Recursive smeared-word evaluation gives the identical word vector, so
vacuum moments agree without a limit interchange. Taking its inner product with the vacuum
proves equality of the moments.
Translation, spectral measure and inverse-affine Poincare test
action are the original reconstructed objects. Thus the public covariance and spectral assertions
follow by literal substitution once their reconstructed counterparts have been proved. Graded pins
are injective; label covering and insertion-token representatives give the two separate surjectivity
statements.
Nontriviality of the field operators follows from the degree-zero unit: its image is
nonzero by injectivity and the unit’s nonvanishing; boundary faithfulness then supplies a Schwartz
test with nonzero field operator.
Resolved whole words have continuous character evaluations
and barycenter equal to the unselected expectation, yielding the public mixture formula.
The
compression-valued moments and character readings in the reconstruction chapter provide the
resolved-word placement and barycenter identities used here. The public holomorphic wave uses
pinned labels.
Ordered Euclidean times recover the original configuration and heat-root value;
joint Schwartz tests and shifts ti + irhi are precisely the reconstructed boundary prescription.
Holomorphy, heat-root and boundary existence retain their substantive reconstruction dependencies.
Its boundary theorem therefore gives the required vacuum moment. The boundary label-quotient
argument in the reconstruction chapter proves faithfulness. The final public projection introduces
no second quantum field system.
18.3
One family, table and composed refinement
Choose the Wilson family before observables or volume subsequences. Linear supplier floors and
nonlinear component floors form one maximum before block lengths; actual width and chart bills
form a later maximum, paid by delay on the same clock. This includes flat delay at e = 0, so the
actual horizon uses the same flat kernels. The explicit order of the pre-length floors, post-length
numerical bills and countable width demands is (CAL12)–(CAL18); their consumption gives the
flat delay condition at entrance index zero on the run’s actual horizon, as proved there, and the
same fixed family is used below. For requested order f, first extract g for fixed-level parameter
limits, then w for the continuum table. Use g ◦w; increasing sequences preserve earlier convergence
and (f ◦g) ◦w = f ◦(g ◦w) fixes the final volume order. On that table choose reconstructions for
all characters, one equivariant OPE reader and trace test. The preceding construction estimates
and the subsequent reconstruction, operator-product and trace arguments establish these services
on the retained table. Retain reader coefficients and fields through all truncations, then choose
contacts in its same basis. This is the quantifier order used by the public theorem and its detailed
extension. Every convergence assertion from the first extraction survives the second, because a
strictly increasing natural sequence tends to infinity. The lift retains these actual witnesses and
their dependency order. Recovery preserves the common table and composed subsequence, together
with whole-word phase, operator and boundary identifications, rather than mixing existence choices.
Recovery of the one public system and its retained refinement.
Denote the reconstructed
word-domain system by (H, D, Ω, Φ, U, E), where E is its energy–momentum projection-valued
measure.
Its public readout is the identity on these actual objects.
If W0 = Ωand Wa+1 =

Φ(ιqa+1, fa+1)Wa, the public recursion has the same Wa at every step, and hence the same ⟨Ω, Wa⟩.
Here ι is the graded pin map. This identifies unbounded fields only on the retained common word
domain. The two distinct covering maps remain
{insertion tokens} ↠{graded fields} −→L =
[
d
ιd(Fd),
where each ιd is injective and the union covers L. Their recovery retains the degree-zero unit and
the source’s boundary faithfulness argument.
For a whole resolved separated word W, the retained character reader and barycenter give
Sχ(W) = evχ(W),
S(W) =
Z
Sχ(W) dP(χ).
The reader acts on the resolved whole word prescribed by the source. Its weak character continuity
supplies the public continuity statement. The pinned holomorphic wave and joint Schwartz test
are the same reconstructed objects, so the public boundary reads its already established boundary
value along (ti + irhi)i. Existence of that boundary value retains its reconstruction dependency.
For completeness, if aN denotes any quantity whose first extraction converges, recovery on the
retained final refinement gives
lim
n→∞ag(w(n)) = lim
n→∞ag(n),
f(g(w(n))) = (f ◦(g ◦w))(n).
This is subsequence preservation on the same Wilson family and common table. The source record
keeps the pre-length maximum of supplier floors, then the lengths, then the maximum of actual
width/chart bills, and then the delay on that clock, including its flat e = 0 condition. On the final
table it retains the character reconstructions, the single equivariant OPE reader at every truncation,
and then contacts in that reader’s basis. Recovery reads this ordered witness record and therefore
preserves the shared family, horizon, table, volume order and OPE prescription.
18.4
Full fixed-volume mesh limits and classical derivatives
At fixed intermediate level, Confluence means eventual uniform boundedness and uniform Cauchy
comparison in the fixed configuration space. Finite products and sums preserve it, as do continuous
maps on common compact ranges. For eventually measurable functions on probability Haar,
|
Z
fN −
Z
fM| ≤
Z
|fN −fM| ≤sup
U
|fN(U) −fM(U)|.
Finite polynomial restoration therefore gives Cauchy numerator and stripped partition integrals.
The finite polynomial insertion numerator is built from the scalar-normalized density, transported
primary insertions and local error insertions by exactly these operations. Retain before division
the fixed-level lower bound
exp[−K −|Edges| dimR(Mat(G)) log(16/v)] > 0,
where v is its positive threshold and K bounds small-field action and activity costs at coupling at
most 2 bβj, independently of finer N ≥j. The trajectory partition identity identifies this with the
normalized denominator. The scalar factor cancels exactly, proving ratio convergence with the es-
tablished nonlinear Confluence inputs; this is the fixed-level ratio convergence used by Rising.latter.
On a compact collision-free set, thicken compactly without collisions. FixedBounds controls
two extra differences of each word. Coordinate-path telescoping bounds its oscillation by physical

distance; applying it to first differences gives a common discrete-gradient Lipschitz constant A.
Subtract the affine function with gradient frozen at the start. Each residual step costs aNA times
endpoint distance; telescoping again gives a uniform quadratic Taylor bound. Next-difference limits
require no new subsequence. At x choose physical q > 0 small enough for the neighborhood and
Taylor error, then put kN = aN⌈q/aN⌉→q, eventually between q and 2q. The long difference
quotient has Cauchy endpoint limits. Taylor comparison places it within BkN ≤2Bq of the unit
next difference.
Choose q for error at most ε/4, then tail quotients within ε/2 to prove next
differences Cauchy at x. Local Lipschitz bounds and address error O(aN) give oscillation control;
dense-set extension yields local uniform convergence along the original mesh. Repeat for every
word. For word limit fl and next limits ga,l, passing mesh-address approximations through Taylor
yields
|fl(y) −fl(x) −
X
a
(ya −xa)ga,l(x)| ≤B|y −x|2.
Division by distance proves Frechet differentiability with derivative h 7→P
a haga,l(x). Continu-
ous next limits identify all coordinate derivatives; iteration gives smoothness of every order, with
order/compact-dependent constants and thresholds. The coefficient-history convergence and the
uniform derivative estimates provide these next limits and Taylor bounds at every fixed finite order.
The lift retains the fixed-volume mesh, difference words, addresses and Taylor reserves. Recovery
preserves finite telescoping and uniform bounds, transporting the full-sequence limits and classical
derivative identification in this order.
Recovery before differences and full-mesh differentiation.
Let πN be the framed configu-
ration readout at mesh aN, and let ∆a,N be the physical forward difference in a position coordinate,
with divisor aN. The map πN is independent of insertion positions. For any finite difference word
l and the same positioned lattice insertion IN, coefficientwise pullback therefore satisfies
∆l,N(IN ◦πN) = (∆l,NIN) ◦πN.
The normalized Wilson reader, including all retained corrections, gives the same correlation FN,l
on the two carriers at every finite mesh. It consequently preserves both the uniform fixed-volume
bounds and the physical lattice Taylor inequality
FN,l(Y ) −FN,l(X) −
X
a
(Ya −Xa)FN,a::l(X)
 ≤B|Y −X|2.
Here X, Y are physical mesh positions in the retained compact thickening; B and the eventual mesh
threshold may depend on that compact and word. For the long quotient QN(q) at the source’s
addressed point, the same reader yields
|FN,a::l(XN) −QN(q)| ≤2Bq,
for all sufficiently fine meshes after fixing q > 0. Hence its pairwise Cauchy estimate is bounded by
4Bq + |QN(q) −QM(q)|. Choose q first, then the mesh tail. This is the same full mesh sequence.
The classical reader then recovers
∂afl = ga,l,
Dfl(x)h =
X
a
haga,l(x),
by dividing the retained quadratic remainder by |y −x|. Thus all finite word limits, their derivative
identification, and the small-field partition lower bound remain attached to the same fixed physical
volume.

Stencil independence, interpolation and dense-position extension
For fixed backward/forward reaches b, f ≥0, e = b + f > 0, the normalized stencil [F(x + fea) −
F(x−bea)]/(eaN) averages e unit forward differences at x−bea+jea, 0 ≤j < e. Differences commute
with translation averages; iteration expresses any fixed mixed stencil as a finite average of unit words.
All displacements are O(aN), giving the same derivative limit without an extra reach factor. The
right-closed cube interpolant assigns a left-coordinate subset I weight Q
a∈I θa
Q
a/∈I(1 −θa), where
θa is measured from the right endpoint. Nonnegative weights sum to one; vertices lie within O(naN).
Compact cluster convergence bounds the weighted error by the largest vertex error, proving local
uniform interpolant convergence even at ties. This assertion does not require or claim that a finite-
mesh interpolant is smooth at its cell boundaries; lattice differences are taken before interpolation.
For dense separated positions compare fine moments pN to fixed-level Vj,N, Cauchy by Confluence,
with uniform error bounded by fixed cost over g(j) →∞. Choose positive weights xi = ζi/(|wi|+1)
to pay the finite word’s charged coefficients and sum its eventual weighted bounds. Choose j for
error below ε/4, then the fixed-level tail for pairwise difference below ε/4, proving full-mesh Cauchy
comparison. More generally eventual compact oscillation bounds and Cauchy values on a dense
set imply local uniform convergence even for discontinuous approximants. At arbitrary x, choose
nearby dense d in a compact neighborhood and use
|TN(x) −TM(x)| ≤|TN(x) −TN(d)| + |TN(d) −TM(d)| + |TM(d) −TM(x)|.
Completeness gives pointwise limits; oscillation gives continuity. Failure of compact uniform con-
vergence supplies bad points with a convergent subsequence, contradicting oscillation, pointwise
convergence and limit continuity. Apply this on fixed-volume periodic collision-free positions, using
nonlinear oscillation and schedule-compatible ancestor positions. The previous Taylor arguments
then identify all derivative limits. The lift retains reach stencils, cube weights and ancestor po-
sitions. Readout preserves finite averages and the same compact oscillation bounds, recovering
full-sequence extension without an additional mesh refinement.
Exact stencil, interpolation and dense-position readouts.
To distinguish integer addresses
from physical positions, write X for a mesh address and aNX for its physical point. A fixed-reach
stencil has the exact recovery formula
FN(X + fea) −FN(X −bea)
(b + f)aN
=
1
b + f
b+f−1
X
j=0
∆a,NFN(X −bea + jea).
Pullback by πN commutes with every finite translation and difference in this identity, so mixed
stencils retain their exact normalized finite average. If vI(x) are the right-closed cell vertices and
wI(x) their specified weights, both carriers give the same interpolant and bound
INFN(x) =
X
I
wI(x)FN(vI(x)),
|INFN(x) −f(x)| ≤max
I
|FN(vI(x)) −f(vI(x))|
+ max
I
|f(vI(x)) −f(x)|.
Nonnegativity and unit total weight prove this inequality also at cell ties, and both terms van-
ish uniformly on a compact collision-free set. All lattice differences in this construction precede
interpolation.

For the ancestor-position comparison, write C for its common finite weighted bill and G(j) →∞
for the source’s scale function (to separate it from a testing coupling). The same normalized reader
gives
|pN −pM| ≤2C
G(j) + |Vj,N −Vj,M|.
The weights ζi/(|wi| + 1) and the finite collection of localized errors are retained in C. Fixing
j before the mesh tail preserves the source’s two-level argument.
The resulting dense-position
Cauchy values and eventual compact oscillation bounds are identical under recovery. Thus the
dense-set extension lemma applies to the same full mesh sequence, even when its approximants
have discontinuities.
18.6
Smearing and ordered scalar-coupling refinement
Write a lattice test sum as the integral of its piecewise constant cell function; cell volume a4n
N is
exactly its prefactor. Compact test support lies in a period box away from collisions. Cluster
convergence bounds all sampled values uniformly there: otherwise unbounded samples have a
convergent position subsequence contradicting the cluster limit. Bounded tests give one integrable
majorant. Sampled points converge to physical points, so dominated convergence yields the smeared
limit, also for every identified derivative cluster limit. Let tm = log(a−1
m ) and bβm =  ̄β + 2b0tm,
with b0 = 11 Casimir(G)/(48π2). For each m, histories obey bβm/2 ≤βN,p,m ≤2 bβm for N ≥m.
Extend earlier N by bβm only for compactness. The countable compact metrizable product over
(p, m) gives a common mesh subsequence with limits ap,m. Along the requested volume sequence,
a second compact product extraction gives Bm at every level. Extensions agree eventually with
actual histories: for fixed m, the auxiliary extension agrees eventually with the original coupling
because the mesh index tends to infinity. Hence the chosen refinement has the stated iterated
limit at every level, and later refinements preserve these ordered limits. Uniform history estimates
|βN,p,m−bβm| ≤εtm pass through the ordered fixed-m limit, so (Bm−bβm)/tm →0 and Bm/tm →2b0.
For first m(μ) with tm ≥log μ, the schedule condition tm+1/tm →1 squeezes tm(μ)/ log μ →1. Thus
the positive history coupling g(μ) = B−1/2
m(μ) satisfies
g(μ)
p
2b0 log μ →1,
g(μ) →0.
Identification with a separately defined position-space diagnostic retains its own comparison-
theorem dependency. The lift keeps cell volumes, compact test domains and both refinement maps;
recovery preserves dominated smearing and the ordered coupling limits, including this stated
scope.
Cell integration and scalar-history recovery.
For a compactly supported test φ on a collision-
free n-point configuration set, retain the physical cell partition {CN,X}X. If sN(x) = aNX on CN,X,
the lattice test reader is exactly
a4n
N
X
X
φ(aNX)FN(aNX) =
Z
φ(sN(x))FN(sN(x)) dx.
The support is confined to one fixed compact enlargement in the period box for sufficiently fine
meshes. The source’s compact cluster bound and bounded test give its integrable majorant. Since
the recovered lattice values agree at every sample, both carriers have the same dominated limit
R φ(x)f(x) dx, also for every retained difference-word limit.

For the scalar coefficients, the source history record includes all βN,p,m and the auxiliary early
extension. Coordinate evaluation recovers them unchanged, so the retained two compact extractions
give
ap,m = lim
N→∞βN,p,m,
Bm = lim
k→∞ap(k),m,
where limits follow the selected mesh and volume refinements respectively. The closed running
inequality passes through these two limits at fixed m, before m →∞. For μ sufficiently large, the
source’s first-crossing index gives
1 ≤tm(μ)
log μ <
tm(μ)
tm(μ)−1
−→1.
Together with Bm/tm →2b0, this recovers the stated asymptotic history coupling. The readout
keeps that history interpretation and the separate comparison dependency for any other coupling
diagnostic.
18.7
Common compact extraction and field quotient
Retain two inputs: fixed-period centered root bounds with period-dependent constants, and sepa-
rately large-period uniform bounds eventually in mesh at each period. For n insertions on compact
separated positions of margin r, choose am < r then k ≥m with 6nak < am. The stencil of each
insertion fits its reporting chamber at every sufficiently fine mesh, uniformly in the period: each
fixed integer stencil offset times the fine spacing tends to zero, whereas ak > 0 is fixed. Include
finite signed/reflected images in root bound A. Choose the tiling origin leaving each point at least
three reporting widths from boundaries; the inequality leaves a choice in each coordinate. Dis-
tinct points occupy distinct chambers. Pull back by prescribed motions/conjugations and apply
reflection-positive chessboard to obtain
|⟨I1(x1) · · · In(xn)⟩| ≤An.
(CV1)
This argument applies to arbitrary separated tuples; it does not require every coordinate projection
of the tuple to be separated. On the generic open set with pairwise distinct coordinate projections,
choose compact thickening and projected gap reserve 4r. Translation estimates give one-coordinate
oscillation at most An|h|/r for |h| ≤r.
Replacing 4n coordinates one at a time stays in the
thickening and gives Lipschitz constant 4nAn/r. Each intermediate tuple is obtained by choosing
coordinates from one endpoint or the other, so its distance from either endpoint is at most their
distance.
Both fixed-period and separate large-period versions hold.
Count finite basis words
at every degree/arity and compact generic exhaustions. Local countable Arzela–Ascoli gives one
mesh subsequence and all fixed-period tables Mp. Pass uniform large-period inequalities to these
limits, then take one period subsequence for table S. Multilinearity recovers all labels on these
same selections.
For eventual compact coordinate bounds, replace exceptional early values by
a value in each compact set and extract in the countable compact metrizable product.
Each
coordinate’s original tail agrees, preserving its limit. Additional numerical data are retained by
first selecting all active (i, p) mesh limits, then using closed large-period compact sets for the outer
common subsequence. All active fixed periods remain available. Uniformly bounded idempotent
projections have idempotent limits. If ∥P −Q∥< 1, u 7→u −Qu injects ker P into ker Q: its kernel
would obey ∥u∥≤∥Q −P∥∥u∥. Reverse roles to obtain equal finite kernel dimensions. Detector
estimates identify limiting kernels with the exact equation-null space. Transported comparison and
step-function smearing make their separated compact-test correlations vanish. The convergence-of-
histories chapter establishes the confluence and comparison estimates used in this argument. The lift

retains both bound families, compact coordinates and the two refinement maps. Recovery preserves
(CV1), finite-coordinate convergence and idempotency, transporting the quotient identification with
the same detector and smearing dependencies.
18.8
Exact null quotient and compatible diagonal orders
Full-rank detector pairs separate the quotient: a label null against every continuum spectator has
zero detector readings and belongs to the limiting kernel. Thus
{continuum-null labels of degree at most d} = ker Pd.
(CV2)
This finite-dimensional quotient retains real and signed structures and is the detector/differentiation
quotient. Transported finite differences agree with the raw generic table. Taylor and next-difference
arguments extend smoothly across coordinate ties while full positions remain distinct. Density of
generic tuples makes that extension unique, yielding smooth T with the same Mp and separated
smearing limits. Raw compactness alone supplies no tie value. The previously established full
fixed-volume mesh Cauchy limits identify the auxiliary subsequence with these Mp; restoring the
full mesh changes none of them. Only the outer period subsequence remains. For nested refinements
Fj, the diagonal tj = Fj(j) is increasing: Fj+1 = Fj ◦gj and gj(j + 1) ≥j + 1. For each fixed stage
i, its tail lies in the range of Fi. Apply separately to mesh and period orders, preserving every
fixed-stage bound and limit on the same final table. If each successive order refines its predecessor,
take its diagonal mesh and period sequences separately. Finally, countably many further stages
can be imposed without combining incompatible choices. The derivative construction removes the
coordinate-projection restriction on the raw table. The lift retains null kernels, quotient structures
and nested subsequence maps.
Recovery preserves (CV2), unique smooth extension and both
diagonal orders, keeping all later services attached to this table.
Compact table and exact quotient recovery.
For each finite degree carrier Ed keep the
coefficient section and recovery jd, pd fixed during extraction, with pdjd = I. The framed projection
and its recovered limit are
bPN,p,d = jdPN,p,dpd,
bPd = jdPdpd,
bP 2
d = bPd,
pd bPdjd = Pd.
Finite-dimensional convergence commutes with these fixed maps in the inner mesh and outer period
limits separately. In the section norm, ∥bP −bQ∥= ∥P −Q∥on the horizontal image, so the source’s
less-than-one projection comparison preserves the stabilized physical kernel dimension. Redundant
vertical coefficients remain in ker bPd and carry no extra physical quotient dimension. The complete
quotient readout is explicitly
pd : EZ
d / ker bPd −→Ed/ ker Pd,
[ζ] 7−→[pdζ],
jd : [u] 7−→[jdu].
Indeed ker bPd = p−1
d (ker Pd), which makes both maps well-defined and mutually inverse; their
compositions use pdjd = I and ζ −jdpdζ ∈ker pd. The detector and separated smearing readers
factor through these maps.
By (CV2) their common physical null space is exactly the stated
equation-null kernel. Real structure and signed motions are transported through the same quotient
isomorphism.
The table reader acts coordinatewise on the retained basis-word correlations and additional
numerical data. Its extraction record keeps both input regimes: fixed-period bounds with constants
depending on p, and separate large-period bounds uniform in those periods with mesh thresholds

allowed to depend on p.
The normalized integral identity preserves (CV1), and preserves the
generic-position estimate
|SN(x + he) −SN(x)| ≤An|h|/r,
|h| ≤r,
with the same constants in the applicable regime. Thus the countable compact coordinates, their
exceptional early completions, and all active fixed-period limits are recovered on the same two
selected orders. In particular later period selection does not discard the fixed-period tables outside
that selected period sequence.
Finally retain the nested mesh and period maps as part of the source record. For each fixed
stage i and j ≥i there is a tail index hi(j) such that tj = Fi(hi(j)), with hi(j) →∞. Every fixed-
stage eventual estimate and limit therefore survives each diagonal, separately in mesh and period.
The unique smooth extension from generic tuples is then recovered by the same derivative reader
on collision-free configurations. Since the full fixed-period mesh limits were already established,
this auxiliary extraction reads those same Mp; the final theorem retains only the selected outer
period order.
18.9
Uniformly bounded symmetric projections, the calibrated equation image
and the differential quotient
The construction of the common compact extraction and the field quotient is completed by three
further passages of the supplied text. They are given in full, in the order of the input. The first
constructs the finite-cutoffprojections and their uniform bound.
Here is the construction and uniform bound for those finite-cutoffprojections. At degree d,
let KN,p be the image of the free equation ideal under the exact calibrated label map already
constructed. This is a subspace of the single fixed coefficient space Ed, although it varies with
N, p. Choose once a linear coordinate isomorphism W : Cdim Ed →Ed, with Euclidean norm on its
source, and let πK be orthogonal projection onto W −1K. Put
FK = I −WπKW −1.
(CVP1)
It kills K, and x −FKx ∈K for every x. Moreover
∥FK∥≤∥I∥+ ∥W∥∥W −1∥,
(CVP2)
independently of K, since ∥πK∥≤1. Thus no conditioning estimate on a moving basis of KN,p is
required.
When K is invariant under the signed label action Vs and coefficient conjugation, average FK
to
QK = 1
|S|
X
s∈S
VsFKVs−1,
PKx = 1
2{QKx + QK  ̄x}.
(CVP3)
Both maps still kill K and differ from the identity by a K-valued map. For the second statement,
average the differences x −VsFKVs−1x, each of which belongs to K, and then use conjugation
invariance. These two properties imply P 2
K = PK and ker PK = K: apply PK to x−PKx ∈K, and
conversely use that same inclusion when PKx = 0. Reindexing the finite group sum proves signed
equivariance; the real average proves conjugation equivariance. Its norm is bounded by (CVP2)
times the fixed finite average of ∥Vs∥∥Vs−1∥. The real average does not enlarge that bound, because
conjugation is isometric in the frame coordinates. At the finitely many cutoffs where the calibrated
symmetry has not yet been established, use (CVP1) instead. This supplies a uniform bound at
every cutoffand the required exact symmetries on the admitted tail.

The projection maps are therefore idempotent and uniformly bounded before extraction. Their
limits are idempotent as well, at each fixed period and in the outer limit. Their kernel dimensions
stabilize in both limits. Indeed, if P, Q are idempotents and ∥P −Q∥< 1, the map u 7→u −Qu
sends ker P into ker Q injectively: if u = Qu and Pu = 0, then
∥u∥= ∥(Q −P)u∥≤∥Q −P∥∥u∥,
(4)
so u = 0. Interchanging P and Q gives injections in both directions and therefore equal kernel
dimensions in the fixed finite-dimensional coefficient space. Norm convergence of the projections
makes their distance less than one on the admitted tail in each limit. This is the kernel stability
used below; it does not identify kernels without the detector and equation-image arguments.
The second passage restores the full-mesh order after the compact extraction.
In the present construction the full fixed-volume mesh limits were already established by the
two-level Cauchy argument. The auxiliary mesh subsequence just used therefore converges to those
same Mp. To see explicitly that this restores the required smeared order, fix a token word and
one compactly supported separated test t. For each suitable period p, let RN,p(t) be its lattice
smeared moment. The full-mesh result gives RN,p(t) →rp(t) as N →∞. The extracted table
gives, along its mesh subsequence φ(N), a limit Dp(t), followed by the stated volume limit of Dp(t).
Cofinality of φ also gives Rφ(N),p(t) →rp(t). Uniqueness of a complex limit therefore identifies
Dp(t) = rp(t) at each suitable p. Substitute this equality into the retained volume-limit identity.
The result has the full mesh order followed by precisely the same volume subsequence as the final
table. This argument restores the smeared convergence assertion; it does not claim that every
auxiliary structure originally extracted on a mesh subsequence has been extended to all meshes.
The third passage, which the input places under two headings of its own, specifies the calibrated
equation image and then the inclusions and derivatives on the physical quotient.
18.10
The calibrated equation image and its silent representatives
We specify the finite-cutoffchange of coefficients used in the preceding projection construction. This
also explains why its kernel directions are silent in continuum tests. Fix a degree, its coefficient
frame, and a second sound local section V , such as the marked equation section. Write ej for the
coordinate vectors and c ≥1 for the fixed cost of signed motions and coordinate decomposition in
this frame. The local insertion transport constructs columns uj satisfying
|ej −uj|coeff≤(2c2)−1.
(CVR1)
The columns are combined by the signed and conjugate averaging already used for local sections,
rather than by an unsymmetrized matrix. Explicitly, if χs,j(x) are the averaged coordinates of the
inverse motion of x, then
Px =
X
s,j
χs,j(x) suj,
x =
X
s,j
χs,j(x) sej,
X
s,j
|χs,j(x)| ≤c|x|coeff.
(CVR2)
Here a conjugating motion conjugates the coordinate as well, so the combined map is complex
linear. The fixed motion bound is |sv|coeff≤c|v|coeff. Subtract the two sums and apply (CVR1):
|x −Px|coeff≤1
2|x|coeff,
|P −1y|coeff≤2|y|coeff.
(CVR3)
Indeed the first inequality makes P injective; finite dimensionality makes it surjective, and applying
the first inequality to P −1y gives the second. These bounds hold uniformly in the period on the
eventual mesh tail.

For precision about the purchase of (CVR1), put X = V.stencil ∪T.stencil, where T is the
original section. At stage N, write hN for the support exponent, qN for the number of columns,
and bN ≥0 for the purchased derivative-credit bound of V . The transport estimate gives
L1/8
N−1|ej −uj|coeff≤2(1 + qN)YN,
YN = 2 + e81hN (bN + qN + 2|X|).
(CVR4)
The delayed length requirement is precisely 2(1+qN)YN ≤L1/8
N−1/(2c2), which proves (CVR1). It is
bought together with bN ≤bβN, not inferred from a limit after selecting the columns. The common
error price can be taken to be
EN = 4(1 + qN)YN + e81(hN+2)ZNζd,N/uN,
ZN = (aV + 2aT )
X

(CVR5)
where aV , aT are the fixed coefficient costs of the two sections, θN > 0 is the field threshold and fj
the field-number degree of coordinate j, uN > 0 is the purchased insertion allowance, and ζd,N > 0
its degree-dependent margin. The sum is the finite price of undoing the threshold dilation. Each
factor in (CVR5), including u−1
N , has the subexponential bound supplied by the common calendar.
Finite sums and products preserve that bound by dividing a requested exponent among their finitely
many factors.
At any fixed admitted reporting indices m, k, the rooted discrepancy between the insertion of
ej through V and that of uj through T, including every signed or conjugate motion, is at most
Cd,m,kENe−sN/8,
Cd,m,k = exp{(am/ak)4τk + 5} a−d
k
ζd,k/4esk/8.
(CVR6)
Here τk is the explicit vacuum treasury derived in the denominator estimates above. These are fixed
finite constants after the reporting indices are chosen. Expand any subexponentially priced coeffi-
cient row by (CVR2). The finite number of terms and their subexponential coordinates, together
with (CVR5), absorb at most esN/16 eventually. Thus the entire discrepancy has rooted bound
tending to zero, with a remaining exponential factor e−sN/16. Its fixed stencil, gauge invariance
and continuity make it eligible for the separated spectator product and smearing argument below.
Let T be the terminal coefficient isomorphism and B the marked embedding of free labels into
terminal coefficients. The calibrated equation image is exactly
KN,p = T PT −1B(Id).
(CVR7)
If x ∈KN,p, set y = P −1T −1x. Then T y ∈B(Id). The actual insertion through V with coefficient
y is therefore exactly zero against physically separated spectators on a sufficiently fine mesh, by
the local marking identity. The uniform radius for that assertion was proved by the finite-basis
maximum in the equation-lift construction. Formula (CVR3) preserves the subexponential price of
y, and (CVR6) compares this exactly silent insertion with the original insertion of x. Consequently
every subexponentially priced row in (CVR7) tends to zero against every separated test. This is
the kernel cancellation used in (CV2) and (QD3); it follows from the actual calibrated map and a
local identity, rather than from dimension counting alone.
18.11
Inclusions and derivatives on the same physical quotient
The differential system is constructed using all spectator tests on this quotient. Let Ed be the finite
coefficient space and Nd the null subspace in (CV2). A test reading means: put the distinguished
label at any chosen slot, put arbitrary other labels in all remaining slots, multiply the correlation
303

by a smooth compactly supported test whose support lies in the separated configuration space, and
integrate. Denote it by Lψ(b), including the spectator data in ψ. The family of all these linear
functionals has common kernel Nd. For a smooth table this follows from uniqueness of continuous
kernels as distributions on the open separated set; a nonzero value has a neighborhood and a
compact bump detecting it.
At finite mesh aN, a derivative insertion is the actual forward difference
δaIb(o) = a−1
N {Ib(o + ea) −Ib(o)}.
(QD1)
In the finite torus sum, translating the distinguished summation variable gives the exact summation-
by-parts identity

ψ(aNr) ⟨δaIb(ri) spectators⟩= a4n
N
X
r
ψ(aNr −aNei,a) −ψ(aNr)
aN
⟨Ib(ri) spectators⟩.
(QD2)
Translation is a permutation of the finite torus, so this is true even at its seam. Once the physical
period contains the compact support and its one-step thickening, both potentially nonzero terms
have their actual cover coordinates. Taylor’s theorem makes the test quotient converge uniformly
to −∂i,aψ, on one fixed separated compact. The separated correlation bound controls the remainder
in the cell integral. Take the mesh limit at that fixed suitable period first, and then the retained
volume limit. This proves the derivative test limit in the same mesh-then-volume order as the
hierarchy; no uniform count of lattice points over all periods is needed.
The coefficient approximations used for both inclusion and (QD1) have subexponential top-
coordinate cost: for every ε > 0, their pullback to the terminal frame is eventually bounded
by exp(εsN), where sN is the calendar scale. For bounded reference coefficients this follows by
multiplying the backward column bounds: their logarithm is P
i<N log Ci.
The calendar gives
log Ci ≤ε log Li/2 after a fixed level, so the tail is at most ε(sN −sk)/2; the finite head is absorbed
into εsN/2.
The relay estimates extend this cost statement to the actual inclusion and finite-
difference approximations.
Here is why their errors vanish against every test. A local rooted discrepancy bound yN,p →0,
with reporting spacing chosen arbitrarily small after fixing its requested tolerance, gives a separated
correlation bound A|yN,p|. Choose that reporting spacing below the physical separation, place the
spectator insertions in distinct cells, and apply the reflection-positive product estimate, leaving the
discrepancy in its own cell. Its compactly smeared sum is the integral of a step function, bounded
by this quantity times the test supremum and the volume of one fixed enlargement of its support.
Hence it tends to zero. This also applies to an exactly silent separated remainder with zero bound.
One must control approximations before assuming their coefficients bounded. Write PN,p for
the finite projection and xN,p for an approximating coefficient. Normalize its null remainder by
zN,p = xN,p −PN,pxN,p
1 + ∥PN,pxN,p∥.
(QD3)
It lies in the finite projection kernel. The normalized projected part has norm at most one and
therefore the subexponential cost just proved. Multiplication by the reciprocal denominator costs
at most one, and subtraction preserves subexponential cost by spending ε/2 on each summand.
The relay’s equation cancellation then gives Lψ(zN,p) →0 for every test. This is precisely the
normalized remainder required by the detector argument: it proves boundedness and recovery of the
projected limit using the stable finite detector, without presuming boundedness of the unprojected
approximant. The detector identifies its limiting responses with one vector in Ee/Ne.

Apply this recovery to an inclusion from horizon d to e ≥d, and to (QD1) from d to d + 1, first
on a fixed basis of Ed. Choose representatives of the recovered vectors and extend linearly. This
gives linear maps Kd,e : Ed →Ee and Dd,a : Ed →Ed+1 satisfying, simultaneously for all spectator
tests,
Lψ(Kd,eb) = Lψ(b),
Lψ(Dd,ab) = −L∂i,aψ(b).
(QD4)
The same approximating coefficient family is used for every spectator; separate choices for different
tests would not define a field.
If b ∈Nd, the right sides of both equations (QD4) vanish for every test, including the differen-
tiated test, which still has compact separated support. Thus Kd,eb ∈Ne and Dd,ab ∈Nd+1. The
quotient maps
ιd,e[b] = [Kd,eb],
∂a[b] = [Dd,ab]
(QD5)
are consequently independent of the chosen representative. Their pointwise kernel identities follow
from (QD4): inclusion gives equality of two continuous kernels, and integration by parts gives the
ordinary derivative of the smooth kernel. Integration by parts is legitimate on the separated open
set because the test support is a compact subset of that set. Extend the product of test and kernel
by zero outside; it is smooth with compact support, so its total directional derivative integrates to
zero.
Faithfulness against all spectators now proves every compatibility law. Inclusion is injective,
since its zero class has exactly the same readings as its input. Inclusions compose and the identity
inclusion is the identity, since both sides have identical readings. Differentiation commutes with
inclusion, because it differentiates the same smooth kernel in either horizon.
Two derivatives
commute by the ordinary mixed-derivative theorem. The derivative of the unit is zero: the unit
removes its insertion slot and the resulting kernel is independent of that coordinate. Permuting
insertion slots transfers these identities from the distinguished first slot to every slot by the linear
permutation chain rule.
Finally conjugation commutes with real directional differentiation.
For a signed orthogonal
motion s, its coordinate derivative transforms by
∂b(f ◦s) =
X
a
sab(∂af) ◦s.
(QD6)
Apply the already established reality and signed covariance identities to the kernel, differentiate
on the separated neighborhood, and use faithfulness again. It follows that the quotient inclusions
commute with both symmetries and that the quotient derivatives obey (QD6). This establishes the
differential structure on the actual null quotient used in reconstruction, with no extra representative-
dependent operation.
Source–readout formulation.
This subsection is the central instance, for fields, of the method’s
descent theorem. The source is the coefficient space Ed of labels; the readout is the family (Lψ)ψ
of all spectator readings; the equivalence it induces, Eq = {(b, b′) : Lψ(b) = Lψ(b′) ∀ψ}, has
classes b + Nd; and the physical field space is the image Ed/Nd. Theorem 18.3 verifies that this
equivalence is a congruence for the operations of the target (inclusion, differentiation, conjugation,
signed motions), which is exactly what is required for the readout to determine an autonomous
field calculus. Three kinds of non-canonical data occur and are kept apart: the projections PK (a
choice of complement to a subspace; any other bounded symmetric choice gives the same quotient),
the representatives Kd,eb, Dd,ab (defined modulo N), and the column family uj (a presentation of
the calibrated map). What is canonical, and what the lift recovers exactly, is the quotient with
its operations. What is lost by the readout is precisely Nd, and Proposition 18.2 identifies the
305


## Source page 309

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
finite-cutoffshadow of that loss as the calibrated equation image (CVR7). In the frame realization
the insertions are gauge-invariant cylinders, so LZ
ψ = Lψ and NZ
d = Nd; the reflection quotient
theorem (Theorem C.1) then applies to the same classes.
The three formal statements used in this description are the following.
Lemma 18.1. PK is an idempotent with ker PK = K, signed and conjugation equivariant, with
norm at most (CVP2) times the finite average of ∥Vs∥∥Vs−1∥.
Proof. The paragraph following (CVP3) proves that PK kills K, that x −PKx ∈K, and hence
idempotence and the stated kernel. It also proves both equivariances by the finite group and real
averages and gives their norm bound. The operator in the present statement is that same finite
average, so those conclusions apply without a second projection choice.
Proposition 18.2 (Silence of the calibrated equation image). Every subexponentially priced row
in KN,p tends to zero against every separated test.
Proof. For x ∈KN,p put y = P −1T −1x, so T y ∈B(Id). The insertion through V with coefficient y
is exactly zero against physically separated spectators on a fine enough mesh, by the local marking
identity (with the uniform radius from the finite-basis maximum of the equation-lift construction).
(CVR3) preserves the subexponential price of y, and (CVR6) compares this exactly silent insertion
with the original insertion of x.
Theorem 18.3 (Operations descend to the physical quotient). There are linear maps Kd,e : Ed →
Ee (e ≥d) and Dd,a : Ed →Ed+1 with, simultaneously for all spectator tests,
Lψ(Kd,eb) = Lψ(b),
Lψ(Dd,ab) = −L∂i,aψ(b).
They map Nd into Ne and Nd+1, so
ιd,e[b] = [Kd,eb],
∂a[b] = [Dd,ab]
are well defined on Ed/Nd, independent of representatives and of the choice of Kd,e, Dd,a. Inclu-
sions are injective, compose and are the identity for e = d; derivatives commute with inclusions
and with each other; the derivative of the unit is zero; conjugation commutes with real directional
differentiation; and for a signed orthogonal motion s
∂b(f ◦s) =
X
a
sab(∂af) ◦s.
Proof. Apply the recovery just described to a basis of Ed, choose representatives of the recovered
vectors and extend linearly; the same approximating coefficient family is used for every spectator.
If b ∈Nd both right sides of (QD4) vanish for every test (the differentiated test still has compact
separated support), which gives the mapping of null spaces.
The remaining laws follow from
faithfulness: two classes with the same readings against all spectators are equal.
For instance
inclusion preserves all readings; differentiation in either horizon differentiates the same smooth
kernel; mixed derivatives commute by the classical theorem; the unit removes its slot. Integration
by parts is legitimate because the test is compactly supported in the open separated set. Slot
permutations transfer the identities from the first slot.

Phase decomposition and Wightman reconstruction
From positive readings to operators on a common domain.
Reflection-positive pairings
determine a seminormed word space. Zero-norm words are quotiented before Hilbert completion.
Equality of the entire reflected Gram matrices under readout therefore gives an isometry on the
quotients and a unitary identification of their completions. It does not turn every insertion into a
bounded operator. The reconstructed fields act on the specified common invariant span of smeared
field words applied to the vacuum.
The following slab, heat and boundary arguments identify that domain, the attachment map and
the tube boundary distributions. Character evaluation is applied to whole compressed words, with
the common phase measure retained. Full support and continuity have a specific role in upgrading
certain almost-everywhere statements to every character; they are not a universal permission to
remove exceptional sets. Likewise the one-dimensional invariant vacuum follows from the heat and
phase arguments. No positive lower bound on the rest of the energy spectrum follows from vacuum
uniqueness. These distinctions are preserved when the same Hilbert-space readings are transported
to the realized family.
19.1
Bounded slab insertions and their norm derivatives
Fix an axis a, width d > 0, and word w = ((xi, vi))n
i=1 of distinct points inside 0 < xa
i < d. A
buffer 0 < r ≤1 requires pairwise maximum-coordinate distance at least r and r ≤xa
i ≤d −r. For
degrees at most D and coefficient norms at most R, we construct
∥Ud(w)∥≤Cn(n/r)An,
(BS1)
with C > 0, A ∈N depending only on D, R. The empty word has bound one. On a future plant the
prescribed action inserts w before that plant translated by dea. Boundedness precedes extension
to the Hilbert completion.
The centered one-cell estimate gives a threshold F, exponent P, and J > 0, such that one
insertion at level k ≥F has price Ja−P
k
. Include all signed rotations and reflected conjugates by
enlarging the coefficient ball by their finitely many operator norms on the finitely many raw degree
spaces. These constants consequently work for every reflected copy.
The decreasing schedule satisfies ak+1 ≥c0a2
k.
At the first m ≥F below r/32, we have
am ≥c1r2; decrease c1 > 0 to include m = F. Choose fixed sufficiently small s > 0 and the first
k ≥F below s(r/n)2. The same first-crossing argument gives
ak ≥c(r/n)4,
20nak < am,
k ≥m.
(BS2)
Indeed 20nak < 20sr2/n ≤20sr2 < c1r2, and strict decrease gives k ≥m. Exterior insertions are
paid at still finer scales, chosen after this main scale; their prices may depend on the exterior word.
First let d′ be an integer multiple of am. Alternating insertion of w and its reflection produces,
in the squared norm after q repetitions, 4q main copies and two exterior copies. The main positions
repeat the original 2n position patterns modulo am. Thus cell packing needs only 20nak < am,
independently of q. The buffer separates the main train from the translated exterior. The rooted
product estimate and the fixed finite-word lattice limit give
∥plant of the repeated word∥2 ≤Bp[Ja−P
k
]4nq,
(BS3)
with Bp independent of q. This is the train estimate in Next/PHASE/Trains.travel_price and
Seats.replicas. By (BS2), its main price is
Q = [Ja−P
k
]n ≤[Jc−P ]n(n/r)4Pn.

We may use the latter expression for Q.
To remove the exterior prefactor, let X send algebraic future words to the reflection Hilbert
space, V insert the main word, and V ♯insert its opposite reflected word. Reflection and translation
invariance give ⟨XV u, Xv⟩= ⟨Xu, XV ♯v⟩. Put T = V ♯V . Taking square roots in (BS3) and finite
linear combinations gives ∥XT qu∥≤BuQ2q. Therefore su = supq Q−2q∥XT qu∥is finite. Moving
powers of T across the pairing yields
(Q−2q∥XT qu∥)2 ≤∥Xu∥su.
Taking suprema gives s2
u ≤∥Xu∥su, hence su ≤∥Xu∥. Finally ∥XV u∥2 = ⟨Xu, XTu⟩≤Q2∥Xu∥2.
Insertion thus annihilates null vectors, descends to the quotient, and extends uniquely with norm
at most Q. This is OS/Train.producer.
For general d, use d′ = am⌊d/am⌋. Since am < r/32, the same word lies in the narrower slab
with buffer r/2. Compose its operator on the right with the heat contraction of width d −d′. On
plants this is exactly the required insertion at width d, and its norm does not increase. The empty
word is the heat contraction. All intermediate choices give the same operator because they agree
on the dense plants. Replacing r by r/2 only enlarges C, proving (BS1) for one common family of
operators. This is the padding and uniqueness argument of OS/Halves and Work/B01.
We next prove operator-norm regularity. Fix labels and width, and write F(x) = Ud(wx) on
the open set of distinct slab configurations. For a slot-axis index b = (i, j), replace its label by a
representative of its physical j-derivative and call the resulting placement Fb(x). Set
B(x)h =
X
b
hbFb(x).
(BS4)
Near a fixed configuration there is one positive buffer for the original word and these finitely many
differentiated words. Equation (BS1) makes B locally bounded in operator norm. Between two
plants, the placement is a separated correlation with a fixed exterior word. The scalar slot-derivative
law gives its derivative as the matrix element of B(x), also for finite linear combinations of plants.
On a convex position ball suppose ∥B(z) −B0∥≤η. The scalar mean-value estimate gives
|⟨u, [F(y) −F(x) −B0(y −x)]v⟩| ≤η∥u∥∥v∥∥y −x∥.
Density gives the same estimate in operator norm. First set B0 = 0: local boundedness makes
every placement locally Lipschitz. Apply this also to each differentiated label array; all Fb, hence
B, are norm continuous. Then set B0 = B(x) and shrink the ball. Its oscillation tends to zero,
proving DF(x) = B(x) in norm. Induction with differentiated labels gives smoothness of every
order on the same position domain. This is the argument of Work/B02/Analysis.norm_remainder
and Work/B02/Slab.smooth_place; it establishes the norm regularity used in the waves and
compression-valued moments below.
Source–readout formulation.
Insertion of a word is first defined on the algebraic word space
(the source side); Proposition 19.1 is the congruence statement that allows it to be read on the
reflection quotient: it maps the null space to itself and is bounded. The bound (BS1) is uniform
in the exterior word, which is what separates an operator on the recovered Hilbert space from a
family of matrix-element estimates. The derivative B(x) is computed with the quotient derivative
of Theorem 18.3, so the operator-valued map x 7→Ud(wx) is differentiated entirely on the readout
side, with no reference to a representative. By Theorem C.1 the lifted slab operators are the unitary
images of these and satisfy the same bounds.

Proposition 19.1 (Removal of the exterior prefactor). Let X send algebraic future words to
the reflection Hilbert space, V insert the main word and V ♯its opposite reflected word, so that
⟨XV u, Xv⟩= ⟨Xu, XV ♯v⟩. If ∥XT qu∥≤BuQ2q for T = V ♯V and all q, then ∥XV u∥≤Q∥Xu∥.
Hence insertion annihilates null vectors, descends to the quotient and extends uniquely with norm
at most Q.
Proof. su = supq Q−2q∥XT qu∥is finite. Moving powers of T across the pairing and using Cauchy–
Schwarz, ∥XT qu∥2 = ⟨Xu, XT 2qu⟩≤∥Xu∥∥XT 2qu∥, so (Q−2q∥XT qu∥)2 ≤∥Xu∥su; taking the
supremum, s2
u ≤∥Xu∥su and su ≤∥Xu∥.
Finally ∥XV u∥2 = ⟨Xu, XTu⟩≤∥Xu∥· Q2su ≤
Q2∥Xu∥2.
19.2
Surjectivity of the reflection attachment
The boundary attachment J is an isometry from a complete Hilbert space, so its range is closed. For
regularized words integrated against Fourier transforms of compact smooth tests, the boundary tilt
identifies the vector with an attached boundary distribution on the chilled test. Explicitly the joint
pairing gives ⟨A, A⟩= ⟨B, B⟩; regularized approximants to B and partial-boundary convergence
give ⟨A, B⟩= ⟨B, B⟩. Thus ∥A−B∥2 = 0. The strict-time and independently heated constructions
below supply these pairing and tilt inputs. Compact cutoffs approximate Fourier Schwartz tests.
The word bound C∥f∥L1 and closed range extend membership to all integrated regularized words.
Pairing a pointwise word with a vector orthogonal to the range gives zero smeared pairings; con-
tinuity makes the pairing zero everywhere. Double orthogonal complement and closedness place
pointwise words in the range. Strictly ordered positive-time Euclidean words are regularized words:
choose regularization below the first time and all gaps, then recursively apply local fields, trans-
lations and heat operators. This reproduces the reflection plant with its insertion representatives;
quotient representatives agree against every future word and give the same plant. For arbitrary
future words sort times by permutation symmetry, then add εi to the ith time. For small posi-
tive epsilon the configurations remain separated with strict positive time order and converge back.
Expanding plant squared-distance into three table pairings proves norm continuity from smooth
separated correlations. Since the range is closed, the unperturbed plant also lies in it. Future
plants span densely by GNS, so J is onto. Here GNS denotes the Gelfand–Naimark–Segal positive-
functional construction [8, 9]; the domain and quotient recovery are the ones specified above. The
lift retains boundary word tests, chilled tests, representatives and heat/translation recursion. Re-
covery preserves the pairing identities and plant norm limits, transporting this surjectivity to the
lifted completed space with its actual word domain.

pairings to zero continuous pointwise pairings. For future plants vε →v the same map preserves
the squared-distance table formula and hence the norm limit. Therefore closedness and the dense
span of future plants recover surjectivity on the completed source reflection space as well. This
construction preserves the supplied tilt, partial-boundary and joint pairing dependencies and uses
their actual heat/translation word recursion and insertion representatives.

Explicit tested boundary formula
For word v smear its wave as Ψ(y, f) against a joint Schwartz test. Set ai = i and D = −i∂dawn(a).
The tested Cauchy–Riemann identity reads d
dtΨ(y + ta, Dkf) = Ψ(y + ta, Dk+1f). Assume |W(x +
iy)| ≤Ck−m for gaps at least k, 0 < k ≤1. For nondecreasing y, define
Pm(y, f; t) =
m
X
k=0
(−t)k
k!
Ψ(y + ta, Dkf).
Adjacent derivative terms cancel, leaving ∂tPm(y, f; t) = (−t)mΨ(y + ta, Dm+1f)/m!, bounded for
0 < t ≤1 by (C/m!)∥Dm+1f∥L1. Thus
B(y, f) =

is defined on all nondecreasing heights. For strict heights the fundamental theorem gives B = Ψ.
Interior continuity of the finite terms and dominated convergence of the remainder prove continuity
at every nondecreasing y0. Hence every strict-height approach has limit B(y0, f), with unrestricted
gap ratios. Moreover
|B(y, f)| ≤C
m
X
k=0
∥Dkf∥L1/k! + C
m!∥Dm+1f∥L1.
This continuous Schwartz seminorm, linearity and label multilinearity give a tempered multilinear
boundary distribution. Uniqueness makes admissible choices of m agree. Character-independent
C, m give boundary character continuity and passage of barycenters to the boundary. The construc-
tion of the waves and the tested Cauchy–Riemann and polynomial gap estimates used here are given
in (SW1)–(SW7) and (CR1)–(CR2) below. The lift retains the joint test, differential operator and
cancellation polynomial. Recovery commutes with finite differentiation and the dominated integral,
preserving the boundary distribution and its unrestricted strict-height limit.

uniformly in character and real positions. Phase-to-unselected factor-norm comparison supplies the
same constants: the factors are constructed in (SW1)–(SW3), and the phase norm comparison is

and barycenter to the unselected value. For joint Schwartz f, Ck−m|f| is integrable; dominated
convergence proves smeared character continuity, and probability normalization plus Fubini gives
the strict smeared barycenter. The same bound, combined with the probability normalization of
the phase measure, makes the double integral absolutely integrable. The common finite Taylor-ray
boundary representation passes continuity through its finite strict terms and dominated remainder.
Its polynomial part uses finitely many strict evaluations; its remainder has a common integrable
bound on the ray parameter after enough test derivatives. Its uniform boundary bound permits
dominated character integration, giving the Wightman barycenter with the same gap-order and
derivative inputs. The tested boundary formula and strict-time wave estimates below provide this
Taylor representation and its common polynomial-order bound.
For positive reflection heat contractions Es with strong limit Π, the joint momentum measure
gives
⟨x, Esx⟩=
Z
e−sE(p) dνx(p).
Nonnegative energy makes the integrand bounded by one and tending to 1E=0. Dominated con-
vergence and strong convergence give equal quadratic forms for Π and P({E = 0}); polarization
proves equality. For attachment J, Bs = J∗EsJ has boundary Boltzmann diagonal measures. Its
zero-energy intertwining and J∗J = I give strong limit Pboundary({E = 0}). No rank-one premise
enters this step; locality and character arguments establish vacuum rank later. Separate surjectivity
realizes all reflection heat evolution on the boundary space. The lift retains whole-word character
readings, common factor bounds and joint spectral measures. Recovery commutes with dominated
test/character integration and spectral quadratic forms, preserving the barycenter and zero-energy
projection identification without strengthening its rank claim.
Tested boundary and spectral recovery maps.
Use the section-induced Hilbert identifica-
tions already constructed to lift each word before taking its scalar matrix element. For a fixed
word, write ΨZ
χ for that scalar source reader. Unitary recovery gives ΨZ
χ(y, f) = Ψχ(y, f) at strict
heights, for the same joint test and pinned labels. Since D acts on the test alone, for every k
ΨZ
χ(y, Dkf) = Ψχ(y, Dkf),
P Z
m,χ(y, f; t) = Pm,χ(y, f; t).
In particular the cancellation in the differentiated finite sum recovers exactly the same remainder
integrand

m,χ(y, f; t) = (−t)m
m!
Ψχ(y + ta, Dm+1f),
|RZ
m,χ(y, f; t)| ≤C
m!∥Dm+1f∥L1.
The constant is independent of χ, 0 < t ≤1, and nondecreasing y in the specified wave-bound
regime. Finite-sum recovery and this dominated integral define the same Bχ(y, f) on the closed
height chamber. Its Schwartz seminorm, multilinearity, uniqueness across admissible m and all
strict-height approaches are therefore preserved. For the normalized character probability measure,
the strict Fubini identity and this common majorant give
Z
Bχ(y, f) dP(χ) = B(y, f).
The finite strict terms and dominated remainder also recover continuity in χ. Thus the boundary
barycenter and character continuity use the same factor-norm bound and tested Cauchy–Riemann
inputs as the source.

Weak irreducibility from heat evolution
Let fields Φ act on their common word domain, with cyclic unit vacuum Ωand translations U(t).
Suppose bounded B satisfies
⟨Φ(a, f)∗u, Bv⟩= ⟨u, BΦ(a, f)v⟩
for domain vectors, with the actual adjoint restricted there. No domain preservation by B is as-
sumed. Iteration moves words across the pairing. For u = wΩ, v = w∗Ω, the heat attachment
gives bounded continuous upper-half-plane functions, holomorphic inside, with boundary values
F(t) = ⟨u, U(t)BΩ⟩and G(t) = ⟨B∗Ω, U(t)v⟩. Covariance, vacuum invariance and weak word com-
mutation give F(t) = G(−t). Glue F(z) above to G(−z) below. Continuity and rectangular Cauchy
integrals with cancelling axis boundaries prove entire holomorphy. Boundedness and Liouville make
it constant; thus
⟨u, BΩ⟩= ⟨u, e−sHBΩ⟩.
The constructed strong heat limit to the vacuum projection gives BΩ= aΩ, a = ⟨Ω, BΩ⟩, by
word density. Moving words once more yields ⟨u, BwΩ⟩= a⟨u, wΩ⟩. Density and boundedness
imply B = aI. Scalars satisfy the identity by the field adjoint relation, so the weak commutant
is precisely scalar. Heat contraction, holomorphic-edge and vacuum-projection results remain its
stated inputs. The lift retains the common domain and actual adjoint pairings. Unitary recovery
transports the bounded operator and word vectors, preserving this weak identity and proof without
an extra domain-invariance assumption.
Recovery of the weak commutant on its actual domain.
Fix the completed-space section
unitary V : H →HZ. Set DZ = V D, ΩZ = V Ω, ΦZ = V ΦV −1 on DZ, and BZ = V BV −1. Unitary
equivalence of the actual adjoint gives (ΦZ)∗= V Φ∗V −1 with domain V Dom Φ∗. Consequently
the precise weak pairing is recovered by
⟨(ΦZ)∗V u, BZV v⟩= ⟨Φ∗u, Bv⟩,
⟨V u, BZΦZV v⟩= ⟨u, BΦv⟩,
u, v ∈D.
The two weak commutants are therefore in bijection under bounded-operator conjugation; no image
of Bv under a field is introduced. Finite word pairings recover in the same order, with wZΩZ =
V wΩ. The heat and translation readers give the identical scalar F, G above, so the glued entire
function and its constant value are unchanged. Writing a = ⟨Ω, BΩ⟩, the final density step reads
BZΩZ = aΩZ,
⟨V u, BZwZΩZ⟩= a⟨V u, wZΩZ⟩,
BZ = aI.

Inverse conjugation recovers B = aI. This transports the supplied vacuum-projection argument
as a dependency of weak irreducibility, without changing the common word domain or the weak
hypothesis.
19.6
Low-energy shells and uniform heat decay
Let positive forward-cone spectral measures μ, ν of a compact word combination and its adjoint
have total mass sum at most M. Their commutator difference A(x, t) = bμ(x, t)−bν(−x, −t) vanishes
for |x| > R, |t| ≤1, uniformly in character by locality. Set
D(x) =
Z 1
0
A(x, t) −A(x, −t)
2i
dt,
ρ(E) =
Z 1
0
sin(Et) dt.
Here ρ = (1 −cos E)/E ≥0 for E > 0, ρ(0) = 0, |ρ| ≤1 and ρ(E) ≥E/π on [0, 1]. Fubini makes
D the spatial Fourier transform of the sum of positive ρμ and spatially reflected ρν measures. It
is bounded by M and supported in radius R. For 0 < u ≤1, choose smooth bump Bu equal to
one on momentum radius u, supported within 2u, between zero and one. Its Fourier transform is
bounded in absolute value by the volume of the radius-2u ball, hence by C3u3. Fourier inversion
and positivity imply
Z
ρ(E)Bu(pspatial) dμ ≤K(R, M)u3,
μ{u/2 < E ≤u} ≤2πK(R, M)u2.
The second uses cone support and ρ ≥u/(2π) on the shell. Dyadic decomposition of (0, u] sums
4−n and yields a constant times u2. Compact-character word-norm continuity supplies uniform
masses. For any such measure with ν{0 < E ≤u} ≤Cu2, Tonelli gives
Z
E>0
e−sE dν = s
Z ∞
0
e−stν{0 < E ≤t} dt ≤2Cs−2.
Substitution and two integrations by parts evaluate the last integral. Increase C to total mass to
extend an initially small-u bound. This bounds ⟨x, (e−sH −P0)x⟩, keeping the zero atom separate.
Character continuity of translated word pairings gives characteristic- function continuity. Fourier
inversion with majorant M|bg| gives continuity for compact smooth momentum tests. Approximate
heat multipliers by cutoffs equal to one in radius 2N and supported in 3N; cone support bounds
the omitted tail by Me−sN uniformly in character. Heat pairings are thus continuous uniform
limits. These arguments supply the heat continuity and shell-to-heat steps used in the removal
of exceptional characters. Fubini applies since both measures are finite and the integrands are
bounded. The lift retains word measures, locality radius, positive time averaging and spectral cone.
Recovery preserves these Fourier/Tonelli integrals and uniform majorants, transporting shell and
heat bounds while retaining the zero-energy atom.
Positive spectral averaging and heat-decay recovery.
For each retained phase section Vχ,
the scalar spectral measure of a compact word vector is unchanged: if xZ
χ = Vχxχ and P Z
χ (A) =
VχPχ(A)V −1
χ , then
νZ
χ (A) = ⟨xZ
χ, P Z
χ (A)xZ
χ⟩= νχ(A).
The same identity holds for the adjoint word combination. Thus their commutator reader gives
AZ = A and the time-average reader gives DZ = D. In particular locality preserves the same

The source recovers the exact dyadic decomposition
μZ{0 < E ≤u} =

X
j=0
μ{u2−j−1 < E ≤u2−j},
0 < u ≤1.
The geometric shell bill and the total-mass extension therefore give the same Cu2 bound. For s > 0
the heat reader recovers

χ −P Z

χ⟩=

E>0
e−sE dνχ ≤2Cs−2.
Here the zero-energy atom is removed before the Tonelli calculation. The common mass bound
and cone support also preserve the cutofferror Me−sN for heat pairings. Hence their character
continuity follows from the same compact-test Fourier readers and uniform cutofflimit, with no
extra continuity premise on the ground projection.
19.7
Every-character vacuum uniqueness
Full support of the compact character probability means every nonempty open set has positive
measure. A closed almost-everywhere set is therefore all characters. For compact-word sum vectors
xχ, the almost-everywhere unique heat ground and inverse-square estimate give, with common M,
0 ≤⟨xχ, e−sHχxχ⟩−|⟨Ωχ, xχ⟩|2 ≤Ms−2,
s ≥1.
Attachment identifies zero energy with the one-dimensional heat ground in those phases; normal-
ization fixes its vacuum coefficient. Heat pairings and overlaps are continuous, so the displayed
inequality defines a closed set for fixed s. Full support extends it to every character without assum-
ing ground-projection continuity. For any fixed character, the spectral strong limit e−sHχ →Pχ
and the inequality give
∥Pχxχ −⟨Ωχ, xχ⟩Ωχ∥2 = ⟨xχ, Pχxχ⟩−|⟨Ωχ, xχ⟩|2 = 0.
Compact test cutoffs approach Schwartz words by joint-word continuity. Bounded projections then
agree on Schwartz words and, by cyclicity, on the whole Hilbert space. Thus zero energy has rank
one in every character, supplying the weak-commutant heat limit. The lift retains full-support
measure, continuous word pairings and attachment. Recovery preserves the closed-set extension
and spectral limit, transporting vacuum uniqueness with the stated low-energy and cyclicity inputs.
19.8
Propagation of analytic limits on a complex slice
Let connected open U ⊂C carry eventually holomorphic Fa. At each point assume a ball with
common tail bound |Fa| ≤A, the tail allowed to depend on the ball. Suppose holomorphic f is the
limit on a set accumulating inside U. Choose B(x, s) ⊂U, t = min(r, s)/2, D = max(1, A/t). For
z ∈B(x, t), the closed disc of radius t about z lies in B(x, r) ∩U. Cauchy derivative estimates on
interior radius-t discs give local tail bounds
|F ′
a(z)| ≤D,
|Fa(y) −Fa(x)| ≤D|y −x|.
Any everywhere pointwise limit g inherits this Lipschitz bound. Choose |y −x| < ε/(4D) and a tail
with center error below ε/4; triangle inequality gives local uniform convergence and holomorphy

of g. For the general filter pass to any finer ultrafilter. Each bounded scalar coordinate has a
compact-disc limit, giving such a holomorphic g. It agrees with f on the accumulating set and
hence on U by the identity theorem. Every finer ultrafilter thus converges to f(y), proving the
original filter convergence. This applies to boundary heights and phase-character limits with only
local tail bounds. The lift retains the slice, filter and local boundedness data. Recovery preserves
the tested analytic functions and their accumulation-set values, transporting this uniqueness and
convergence argument without imposing a single global tail bound.
Every-character vacuum and slice-limit recovery.
Keep the same compact character space
and full-support probability in the source record. For each χ let Vχ be the section unitary and
xZ
χ = Vχxχ, ΩZ
χ = VχΩχ. For a fixed compact-word sum and s ≥1, the recovered scalar function is
qZ
s (χ) = ⟨xZ
χ, e−sHZ
χ xZ
χ⟩−|⟨ΩZ
χ, xZ
χ⟩|2 = qs(χ).
Its continuity is the scalar heat/word continuity established above; it requires no topology on the
family of phase Hilbert spaces. Consequently the source and physical closed sets {χ : 0 ≤qs(χ) ≤
Ms−2} are identical. For each fixed s full support makes this set all characters. Fixing χ afterwards
and taking the strong heat limit therefore recovers

χ xZ
χ = ⟨ΩZ
χ, xZ
χ⟩ΩZ
χ,
P Z
χ = VχPχV −1
χ

χ⟩⟨ΩZ
χ|.
The second equality extends from compact words through the same compact test cutoffs, Schwartz-
word continuity and cyclic density. Inverse unitary recovery gives exactly the source’s rank-one
zero-energy conclusion and its heat-limit input to weak irreducibility.
On a complex slice retain the original indexing filter F, connected domain U, local boundedness
balls and accumulation set. Scalar word recovery gives F Z
a (z) = Fa(z) and fZ(z) = f(z) at every
interior point. It therefore preserves the local tail sets and Cauchy bounds with exactly their stated
ball dependence. For every finer ultrafilter U the compact-disc coordinate reader obeys
lim
a→U F Z
a (z) = lim
a→U Fa(z) = f(z),
z ∈U.
Local equicontinuity, holomorphy and accumulation-set uniqueness are thus recovered on that same
slice; convergence for all finer ultrafilters recovers the original F limit. No selection of a new height
sequence or character subsequence enters this readout.
19.9
Bounded slab operators by powers
Let X : V →H realize the algebraic future-word span in its reflection-positive completion. Suppose
A, B : V →V obey ⟨XAv, Xw⟩= ⟨Xv, XBw⟩and put T = BA. For D > 0 assume each v has
finite Cv with
∥XT nv∥≤CvD2n
(n ≥0).
(ST1)
The Gram adjoint relation makes T and its powers symmetric. Set dn = ∥XT nv∥D−2n and finite
s = supn dn. Symmetry and Cauchy–Schwarz give
d2
n = D−4n|⟨Xv, XT 2nv⟩| ≤∥Xv∥d2n ≤∥Xv∥s.
Taking suprema yields s2 ≤∥Xv∥s, hence s ≤∥Xv∥. Consequently
∥XAv∥2 = |⟨Xv, XTv⟩| ≤D2∥Xv∥2.
(ST2)

Thus A descends through null vectors and extends boundedly with norm at most D, removing
the individual Cv. Apply to slab insertion and reflected insertion; hierarchy translation invariance
supplies their adjoint relation. If vn adjoins n successive reflected/unreflected slab pairs, it suffices
that
| Gram(vn, vn)| ≤QvD4n.
(ST3)
A scalar multiple has norm at most |a|√QvD2n; triangle inequality extends (ST1) to every finite
word combination. Hence a diagonal estimate on individual words really does produce a bounded
operator on their entire dense span.
This bounds the entire dense span without presupposing
boundedness, in every character. The lift retains the algebraic insertion maps and Gram adjoint
relation. Isometric recovery preserves powers and null spaces, transporting (ST1)–(ST3) and the
bounded extension with the same norm.
19.10
Exact slab norm transfer to every character
For unselected slab operator U and ground-space word maps, concatenation and reflection give
Xenter(w,v) = UXv,
Xvn = (U∗U)nXv,
∥Xvn∥≤∥Xv∥∥U∥2n.
The character Gram is the reading of the compressed two-sided word:
| Gramχ(v, v)| = |χ(X∗
vXv)| ≤∥χ∥∥Xv∥2.
For any D > ∥U∥this gives (ST3) with Qv = ∥χ∥∥Xv∥2. The power proof removes this prefactor
and constructs the phase slab with norm at most D. Operators for different D agree on the dense
insertion-prescribed word span and hence everywhere. Taking D ↓∥U∥gives
∥Uχ∥≤∥U∥.
(ST4)
This includes zero norm and transfers all unselected arbitrary-copy constants uniformly to every
character. Construct each character chamber, slabs and inherited derivative calculus; these bounds
supply contour and strict-wave slab laws for field reconstruction with common labels. Apply the
field reconstruction to those data to obtain its Hilbert space and fields, with the common conjuga-
tion and rotation labels. This is legitimate because they satisfy the same requirements; consequently
no comparison between independently chosen copies is needed there. At the previously selected
character retain its already constructed objects, which satisfy those requirements. This keeps the
actual chosen realization and supplies phasewise polynomial bounds for tested boundaries. Contour
and field construction remain below; vacuum uniqueness is separate. Their proof does not require
discarding exceptional characters. The operator estimates needed in reconstruction hold at every
character of the compression algebra. The lift retains ground-space word maps and whole-word
compression before character reading. Recovery preserves concatenation, Gram evaluation and the
dense-span extension, transporting (ST4) with its exact constant.
Algebraic powers, null descent and slab recovery.
Let l: V →V Z be the word lift, and let
R : V Z →V be its word readout with Rl= I. Define the source Gram form and insertion maps
by
gZ(ζ, η) = ⟨XRζ, XRη⟩,
AZ = lAR,
BZ = lBR,
T Z = lTR.
For every n ≥1, (T Z)n = lT nR; the zeroth power is the identity, with the same recovered Gram
norm. The Gram adjoint relation, all dn and their finite supremum are consequently identical to
the physical ones for v = Rζ. The power estimate recovers
∥AZζ∥gZ ≤D∥ζ∥gZ,
ker gZ = R−1(ker X).

It therefore defines a bounded map on the source null quotient before completion. For v = P
i aivi,
the explicit finite-combination constant is Cv = P
i |ai|
pQvi, so the descent covers the whole
algebraic word span. The induced completion unitary VH gives AZ = VHAV −1

and preserves its
norm.
For whole-word compression let V0 identify the unselected ground spaces, and put CZ = V0CV −1

on the closed compression algebra. Recover a character by χZ(CZ) = χ(C). These are isometric
algebra identifications and preserve the character norm. Hence, for the lifted ground-space word
map, the retained positive Gram reader is exactly
χZ((XZ
v )∗XZ
v ) = χ(X∗
vXv),
QZ
v = ∥χZ∥∥XZ
v ∥2 = ∥χ∥∥Xv∥2.
The preceding null-descent construction removes this prefactor on each character chamber.
Its
bounded extension is independent of the chosen D > ∥U∥because its action agrees on the same
dense word span. Letting D decrease to ∥U∥thus recovers (ST4), including ∥U∥= 0, with the same
constant in every character. The already selected chamber and its slab maps remain the prescribed
members of this family.
19.11
Centered insertions and buffered strict-time words
Let E(u) be chamber heat contraction, F(ζ) its holomorphic contraction semigroup on Rζ > 0,
and U(x) commuting spatial translations fixing Ω. Define
Bp(v) = place(2p, [(0, p; v)]),
p > 0.
(SW1)
Its future-word matrix elements are hierarchy values with insertion between reflected left spectators
and right spectators shifted by 2p. Distinct positions and hierarchy multilinearity make Bp linear.
Finite-level representatives of the same union label have equal matrix elements by derivative-plan
inclusion, hence equal bounded operators on the dense word span. Thus this is a map on the
common field union. Arbitrary-copy slab bounds give, for each label,
∥Bp(v)∥≤Qvp−dv,
0 < p < 1.
(SW2)
Both buffers have width p; unused width zero may be assigned zero. Set R(w, s, x) = F(−iw −
s)U(x) for Iw > s, s ≥0. Its norm is at most one. For strict imaginary heights choose
0 < p < 1,
4p < Izj −Izi
(i < j).
(SW3)
The ordered buffered matrix element is
Mp(z, x; v) = ⟨Ω,Bp(v1)R(z2 −z1, 2p, x2 −x1)Bp(v2) · · ·
R(zn −zn−1, 2p, xn −xn−1)Bp(vn)Ω⟩.
(SW4)
Empty words give ⟨Ω, Ω⟩; all factors are defined under (SW3) and multilinear in union labels. The
lift retains boundary buffers, representatives and the exact ordered semigroup factors. Unitary
recovery preserves the dense matrix-element identification and (SW1)–(SW4), including the same
polynomial norm bounds and strict-height domain.

19.12
Width independence and strict-wave bounds
Slab stretching and concatenation give
Bp+u(v) = E(u)Bp(v)E(u).
(SW5)
For admissible larger width, semigroup composition and spatial commutation also give
R(w, 2p, x) = E(u)R(w, 2(p + u), x)E(u).
(SW6)
Insert (SW5) into the larger-width product.
Interior heat factors combine by (SW6), exterior
ones fix the vacuum, proving Mp+u = Mp.
Comparison of any two admissible widths proves
independence. For zi = iyi, recursively build the ket backwards: centered insertion plants at time
p, and heat gap yi+1 −yi −2p with spatial translation places the remaining word. Vacuum pairing
gives the complete Euclidean word up to a common translation, removed by invariance. Quotient-
label identity identifies its union hierarchy value. Define Fn = Mp at strict times. An admissible
p exists because there are finitely many positive imaginary gaps; the choice is irrelevant by width
independence. Bounded composition makes Fn holomorphic in complex times and continuous in
spatial positions. No regularity of a global width choice is required. Contractions and Cauchy–
Schwarz give |Fn| ≤∥Ω∥2 Q
i ∥Bp(vi)∥. For gaps at least 0 < k ≤1, choose p = k/8 to obtain
|Fn| ≤Cvk−mv,
mv =

Cv = ∥Ω∥2 Y

(Qvi8dvi).
(SW7)
This is uniform in real times and positions. Empty gap conditions for arities zero and one still
permit that choice; constants may depend on arity and labels. In particular this argument requires
no continuity of the arbitrarily chosen width as a function of z. At purely imaginary times zi = iyi,
the same product is exactly the original Euclidean hierarchy at the points (xi, yi). The lift retains
buffered words and the exact heat composition. Unitary recovery preserves width independence,
Euclidean identification and the same local analytic construction and gap bound.

Set EZ(u) = F Z(u) and ΩZ = VHΩ. The field-union reader uses the same quotient labels, so
linearity and equality of finite-level representatives pass through these maps. Norm recovery gives
the exact Qvp−dv bound, with both boundary buffers equal to p. The propagated factor and the
whole buffered word recover as

Conjugation is a bounded linear map on the operator spaces and preserves holomorphic depen-
dence on every local strict-time neighborhood with a fixed admissible p. Hence the source wave has
exactly the same local holomorphy and spatial continuity. Choosing p = k/8 recovers (SW7) with
the identical mv, Cv; its uniformity remains over real positions and times for the fixed word. Arity
zero and one retain the empty gap condition and the same allowed width choice.

Tested Cauchy–Riemann identities
For real spacetime X define
fv,y(X) = Fn((ti(X) + iyi)i, (xi(X))i; v),
Ψv(y; φ) =
Z
fv,y(X)φ(X) dX.
Strict heights have a neighborhood with one positive gap lower bound; (SW7) bounds all nearby
integrands uniformly in noncompact X. This follows by decreasing the finitely many strictly positive
gaps slightly; equivalently subtract a sufficiently small multiple of the increasing height vector.
Schwartz decay gives absolute integrability and dominated height continuity. For direction a let ea
have time coordinates ai and zero spatial coordinates. The slice
hX,u(ζ) = fv,u+(Iζ)a(X + (Rζ)ea)
is holomorphic on the strict-height domain. One disc of radius r > 0 works for all X and nearby u,
with common bound C. Hence
|∂eafv,u(X)| ≤C/r.
(CR1)
Slice holomorphy gives
d
dsfv,y+sa = i∂eafv,y+sa. The uniform derivative bound permits differentia-
tion under the test integral; real-direction integration by parts yields
d
dsΨv(y + sa; φ) = −iΨv(y + sa; ∂eaφ).
(CR2)
Bounded original and derivative functions with Schwartz decay justify this on the whole real space.
It holds for joint tests and every height direction remaining strict, supplying the earlier Taylor
boundary proof. A single disc |ζ| ≤r is admissible for every X and all u in a sufficiently small height
neighborhood. The lift retains joint tests, real/time direction correspondence and the uniform slice
radius. Recovery preserves the holomorphic slice and its integrable derivative bound, so the sign
and test action in (CR1)–(CR2) are recovered before taking boundary limits.
19.14
Absolute-frequency identity
Use the construction’s Schwartz transform H , including its fixed coordinate rescaling, so
−i∂d(H g) = −H (⟨d, ·⟩g),
d = ey.
(FT1)
For compact smooth g, put gs(q) = es⟨d,q⟩g(q). The same compact support and smooth exponential
divided differences show d
dsgs = ⟨d, ·⟩gs in Schwartz topology: all weighted derivatives converge uni-
formly on that support and vanish outside. This proves the asserted Schwartz derivative, including
at an arbitrary parameter value. For strict y, A(s) = Ψv(sy; H gs) has derivative zero by (CR2)
and (FT1), whose height and test terms cancel. Interior differentiation uses the local majorant.
Near the boundary, the tested Taylor estimate gives one continuous Schwartz seminorm p with
|Ψv(u; φ)| ≤p(φ); moving-test errors therefore vanish uniformly in strict u. Constancy and s ↓0
yield
c
Wv(g) := Wv(H g) = Ψv(y; H (e⟨ey,q⟩g(q))).

This is in absolute frequency coordinates. On the interior, the ordinary locally dominated derivative
argument applies. The lift retains the Fourier rescaling, joint compact test and height direction.
Recovery commutes with Schwartz differentiation and the uniform boundary estimate, preserving
the cancellation and absolute-coordinate identity before the cone argument.
Joint-test differential and Fourier recovery.
The strict scalar wave reader already gives
fZ
v,y(X) = fv,y(X) for every real configuration and strict height. Keep the joint Schwartz space
and its spacetime direction ea unchanged. The source slice hZ
X,u is therefore the same holomorphic
scalar slice with the same radius r, independently of X. Its tested reader obeys
ΨZ
v (y; φ) = Ψv(y; φ),
∂eafZ
v,u(X)φ(X)
 ≤(C/r)|φ(X)|.
This integrable majorant preserves differentiation under the integral. The whole-space integration-
by-parts reader is explicitly
d
dsΨZ
v (y + sa; φ) = i
Z
∂eafv,y+sa(X)φ(X) dX = −iΨZ
v (y + sa; ∂eaφ).
Thus the minus sign, joint-test domain and arbitrary strict-cone height direction in (CR2) are
recovered before any boundary approach.
For the frequency step retain the source’s scaled Schwartz transform H and absolute momentum
coordinates q. Put gs = es⟨ey,q⟩g on the same compact support. Recovery commutes with this fixed
test operation and its Schwartz derivative. Writing d = ey, the two recovered product-rule terms
cancel exactly:
d
dsΨZ
v (sy; H gs) = −Ψv(sy; H (⟨d, q⟩gs))
+ Ψv(sy; H (⟨d, q⟩gs)) = 0.
The retained common boundary seminorm also yields
|ΨZ
v (sy; H (gs −g))| ≤p(H (gs −g)) −→0
(s ↓0).
Consequently the source boundary distribution recovers c
W Z
v (g) = Wv(H g) and the full identity
(FT2) in absolute coordinates. The readout keeps the Fourier rescaling and its single derivative
sign throughout this moving-test limit.
19.15
The ordered time-frequency cone
For weakly increasing y and compact smooth g supported where ⟨ey, q⟩< −1, fix strict unit-gap r
and use (FT2) at Y (t) = ty + r, t ≥0. The compactly supported tests gt = e⟨eY (t),q⟩g tend to zero
in Schwartz topology: each order-j weighted derivative is bounded by a finite sum
 
j

with fixed constants including the r factor. Every term vanishes. Unit-gap (SW7) bounds (FT2)’s
right side by a fixed continuous seminorm of H gt, so its constant left side is zero. If ⟨ey, q⟩< 0 at
a point, rescale y to make it −2; a neighborhood has pairing below −1 and all its compact tests
vanish. Therefore

Constant height vectors of both signs enforce total time-frequency conservation; weak ordering also
supplies partial-energy inequalities. Relativistic spectrum additionally uses the rotation/covariance
arguments below. The lift retains absolute frequencies, weak-height cone and compact support tests.
Recovery preserves exponential test decay and distributional support, transporting (FT3) with both
conservation and ordering conditions.

Removing the outer angular flux and obtaining all Euclidean rotations
The lattice symmetries give only signed coordinate permutations.
Continuous rotations of the
physical quotient require the conserved stress and its shell maps constructed below. Write pα for
the translation shell map and Y (K) for the angular shell map, where K is a real skew 4-by-4 matrix.
Before their normalization, the angular Ward expression is
AK(v; x) =
X
l
{S(v1, . . . , Y (K)vl, . . . ; x) + (Kxl)αS(v1, . . . , pαvl, . . . ; x)} .
(RT1)
Its vanishing cannot be inferred by simply enlarging a spherical cutoff: the correlations have sub-
power infrared bounds, rather than the decay that such an argument would require. The source
removes the outer flux through tested spectral estimates. We give the details of that passage here.
The tests in this argument have the following precise meaning. Fix a nonnegative even smooth
compactly supported function c, equal to one on [−1, 1], and let
cw(p) = w−1c(p/w),
w > 0.
The source uses this central frequency profile and real Schwartz profiles with the same normalization.
Its j-th moment is
R pjf(p) dp; substitution gives the moment of fw as wj times that of f. In the
Fourier convention used here,
∂j
x bf(0) = (−i)j
Z
pjf(p) dp.
Differentiation under the integral is justified by the integrable Schwartz majorant |p|j|f(p)|. If
moments below m vanish, repeated integration of the derivative along a segment bounds | bf(x)| ≤
C|x|m on a fixed ball. This is the origin-jet cancellation used in the compensated profiles.
For four one-dimensional tests fa, the tested stress pair is the product-test extension of
Rab,cd(f) =

fi(xi) d4x.
(RT0a)
When a factor vanishes sufficiently far in Taylor order at zero this is the ordinary integral. For
arbitrary Schwartz factors, subtract the finite product Taylor polynomial near zero; the polyno-
mial short-distance bound makes the remainder integrable.
This defines the extension without
presuming rotation invariance. Pair exchange, tensor symmetry and signed covariance follow by
the corresponding changes of variables in the remainder integral.
Its tested conservation defect is
∆b,cd(f) =

Rib,cd(f0, . . . , f′

The subtracted term is supported at the single contact x = 0. Its differentiated value on f(a) is
exactly wab,cd, because g(l)
j (0) = 1{j=l}. The resulting defect therefore vanishes on all first-order
product jets. It vanishes on the order-zero and order-two jets by total inversion: the three remaining
tensor indices give an odd sign whereas an even total test order gives an even sign. These finite
contact subtractions preserve the pair and signed symmetries; reflection in a single axis kills a
coefficient unless its four tensor indices occur in pairs. Thus the compensated conservation defect
has no jets of total degree below three. This precise contact remainder, rather than an assumed
exact conservation law at coincident points, enters the spectral band estimates.
For a fixed exterior word on coordinate line l, put
Fdb(y) = ⟨Jdb(y)
Y
l
Bl(xl)⟩.
Realize that exterior word as a finite word vector and pair it with the one-stress vector.
The
hierarchy’s permutation and conjugation laws identify this pairing with Fdb whenever the points
are distinct. This is why the spectral bounds apply to an arbitrary exterior word, not only to the
stress two-point function. The actual outer term is
Z
(∂dφab,l

(RT0c)
for the compensated angular primitive φab,l
λ . Its frequency widths are λ−100 in axes a, b, λ−150 on
the remaining line axis l, and λ−300 otherwise; it carries the primitive amplitude λ100. The band
subtractions described next give the actual estimate Cλ−1 for (RT0c), including its integrability.
The finite excluded insertion set has Lebesgue measure zero and does not change this integral.
Compact shell conservation identifies the difference between the summed local charges and this
outer integral. Its vanishing therefore proves (RT1).
For each coordinate i, reflection positivity supplies its own positive joint spectral measures νA

supported on E = pi ≥0, for finite linear combinations A of reflected words. They include atoms

This follows by applying 2uv ≤tu2 + t−1v2 to the two spectral vectors; approximation by simple
spectral functions proves it for the displayed measurable weights.
No identification of spectral
measures for different axes is needed.
All transverse moments needed below are finite after positive time damping. To prove this,
take the characteristic function of the finite damped measure and apply k pairs of forward and
backward differences in a transverse direction j. Its integral multiplier, up to the cancelling sign of
the difference pair, is

eihpj −1

The fundamental theorem of calculus bounds the difference expression by the corresponding 2k-th
derivative of the smooth separated correlation. Fatou’s lemma as h →0 gives the moment of |pj|2k.

Thus moment orders can be chosen before shrinking the spectral bands.
Here is the interpolation that controls low energy. For distinct nodes zj = (j + 2)2, let Lj be
their Lagrange basis polynomials, 0 ≤j < m. Polynomial interpolation gives

zj + y =

y ≥0,
x + y ̸= 0.
(RT4)
For completeness, multiply the left side by x + y. It is a polynomial of degree at most m, zero
at every zj, and equal to one at x = −y. These m + 1 values determine it and give the product
on the right. Rescale x = (p/a)2, y = (E/a)2. Multiplying by the even Laplace numerator 2E
gives the exact response after subtracting the finite high-band interpolant. For moment-controlled
profiles the subtracted moments are exactly those furnished by (RT4). The residual response is
nonnegative for E ≥0, and the choice of the central profile gives
Rm,a(E) ≥
cm
E + a,
0 ≤E ≤1,
0 < a ≪1,
(RT5)
with cm > 0.
At zero this is the continuous value of the full response, including the profile’s
zero-energy contribution; one does not divide a bare factor 2E by E and discard an atom. The
numerator factors in (RT4) stay of one sign because the high nodes lie outside the primary profile
band. Their fixed ratios give cm; their denominators give the stated reciprocal bound.
The reason this positive response is small is a sign identity for the same tested position corre-
lation. Suppose A has reflection parities εi, εj of opposite sign on axes i, j. Write
Pi(h; f) =
Z
Li(h)(pi)
Y
l∈Q\{i}
fl(pl) dνA
i .
Here fl are nonnegative even Schwartz frequency profiles and Li is the real even Laplace response of
the inverse Fourier profile in direction i. The two spectral formulas for that one tested correlation
give Pi = −Pj. If some transverse axes are absent, insert profiles equal to one on larger and larger
intervals; bounded dominated convergence gives the same identity for that subset Q. Split each
active profile into its Lagrange interpolant and residual. Both residuals have nonnegative response.
Consequently the primary residual on axis i is bounded by the sum of the two cross terms containing
an interpolant. The interpolants are finite sums of profiles in a high band.
For clarity the choice of orders in this repeated operation is important. Put λ = eN, and scale
each frequency profile as f(N)
l
(p) = λ−wlfl(p/λwl), wl ≤0. A bound Cλγ will be called a bound
of exponent γ in this paragraph. If a high band has exponent a′ > 0, a transverse 2k-th moment
from (RT3) bounds its far remainder with exponent at most
−2ka′ + K|Q \ {i, j}| + max(K, dD),
(RT6)
where −K ≤wl and d is the earlier chosen band exponent. Given any η > 0, choose k so that
the negative term exceeds the other fixed losses, and then choose d > 0 so small that dD < η.
At each switch the coordinate just treated is removed from the list still requiring a bound. If its
parity agrees with the next required coordinate, insert an opposite-parity coordinate first. A finite
induction on that list terminates; the terminal case has only nonshrinking transverse widths and
is bounded by (RT3). Choose moment orders and admissible band exponents backwards through
this finite list. This proves an exponent η, for every η > 0, for the residual response. Equation

when the collapsed cluster has both parities on Q.
A word on a coordinate line l is collapsed on the other axes but can have a genuine time gap on
l. Subtract there a shifted positive-time profile. Its response is positive, dominates a fixed multiple
of (E + λq)−1 on 0 ≤E ≤1, and its damped transverse moments cost at most λ−q, by (RT3) at
the actual gap. The same switch pays this loss by increasing k in (RT6). Thus (RT7) holds on
i = l. On i ̸= l, bound the additional l-profile by its supremum Cλ−wl. The resulting bound has
exponent η −wl. This proves the line estimate even when the time-axis cluster is not collapsed.
For a diagonal stress reading a further estimate is necessary. Subtract its finite position Taylor
jet with a cutoffequal to one at zero. The remainder vanishes to the required order: repeated
integration along the segment from zero bounds its k-th derivative by C|x|m when derivatives
k, . . . , k + m −1 vanish. Tensor products of these subtractions preserve reflection parities. Conser-
vation, followed by integration by parts on these tests, gives the three tested frequency expressions
B = p2
i A + R1,
C = p2
i B + R2.
(RT8)
On profiles of width at most W = λa, a ≤0, the remainders have respectively bounds O(W 4) and
O(W 6), with an arbitrarily small exponent loss. On profiles with the prescribed zero moments the
remainder is exactly zero: it is a finite contact Taylor jet and each of its moments is zero.
Apply (RT4) at widths W, 2W to A, B, C. After division by W 2k at levels k = 0, 1, 2, denote
their six band readings by a, b, v, V, r, R, and their residual differences by f, g, h.
The positive
spectral responses have signs f ≥0, g ≤0, h ≥0. Equations (RT8) and the two-band subtraction
give small bounds for
v −a,
V −4b,
r −v,
R −4V,
f −(a −b),
g −(v −V ),
h −(r −R).
These imply a bound for f with the same exponent. Indeed if the sum of the seven absolute errors
is e, these equalities within error e imply a −b ≥−e, a −4b ≤3e, a −16b ≥5(−e); eliminating a, b
bounds f by 100e. In the exact case they force a = b = f = 0; the numerical factor safely bounds
the finite error elimination. The constant-moment term of each interpolant cancels between W and
2W; every other term has at least a factor W 2. Combining this bound with the positive residual
lower bound gives

This deduction uses positivity of spectral measures and of the indicated scalar responses. It does
not differentiate a positive matrix or posit positivity of its derivatives.
Now approximate the plane Killing field xaeb −xbea by compactly supported smooth vector
fields. Choose frequency widths λ−100 on axes a, b, λ−150 on the remaining line direction if present,
and λ−300 on the other axes. An odd primitive in direction a, multiplied by λ100, and its partner
with a, b interchanged give the two components. Their derivatives in the a, b pair agree exactly.
Since Jab = Jba, these two terms in P
i,j ∂iFjJij cancel before any integral is split. The remaining
derivatives are supported outside the insertion neighborhoods, where no contact term is present.
Split each such tested spectral integral into E ≤1 with transverse frequencies inside the box
widened by λ, and its complement. On the complement, the Schwartz bound of order k gives an
arbitrary factor λ−k in a transverse direction. For E > 1 the actual exterior time gap gives e−E/λw;
for every fixed R, M this is at most λ−Me−RE, eventually. The finite damped moments from (RT3)
then pay the whole complement. Inside the box use (RT2) with the two reciprocal weights from
(RT7) for shear components, and (RT7),(RT9) for a diagonal component. Split the latter once more
at E = λ−3000. Below that threshold (including zero), the large gain in the line estimate pays a

crude stress bound; above it (RT9) applies. With the stated widths these estimates, including the
primitive amplitude λ100, leave a bound Cλ−1. Thus the exterior flux tends to zero.
Here are explicit definitions of the responses and contact expressions in this argument. For a
real Schwartz frequency profile f, write Dsf(p) = s−1f(p/s), mq(f) =
R pqf(p) dp, and bf(t) =
R e−iptf(p) dp, with the Fourier constants used in (RT2)–(RT4).
Choose an even nonnegative
smooth u of integral one supported in 1 ≤|v| ≤2, and set uk(v) = v−2ku(v), which is smooth
because its support misses zero. Write Lj(X) = P
k ljkXk for the node polynomial in (RT4). The

It is the real part of
R e−|t|E \
Rm,sf(t) dt, not a rational expression assigned independently at E = 0.
The latter integral gives its continuous value there, namely pref f(0), since the interpolant vanishes
near zero. The odd-parity response uses
R sgn(t)e−|t|E bf(t) dt = −2i
R pf(p)/(p2 + E2) dp for E > 0.
Its subtraction is obtained by applying the even interpolant to pf(p) and dividing the result by p;
division is on support away from zero. Even and odd residuals have the required first 2m moments
zero.
For f ≥0 supported in [−s, s], every product factor in (RT12) lies between zero and one,
because |v| ≥1 and j + 2 ≥2. Each is at most (2(j + 2))2(s/E)2; if s ≥1, it is at least 1
2(1 + E)−2.
The lower estimate follows from (sv(j + 2))2 ≥4s2 and p2 ≤s2. For the central profile f = Dwχ,
where χ = 1 on [−1, 1], integration just over 0 < p < wE/(E + w) gives
2E

p2 + E2 dp ≥(E + w)−1.
Consequently
Rm,s,Dwχ(E) ≥2−m(E + w)−1(1 + E)−2m.
(RT13)
Continuity proves the same inequality at zero; on 0 ≤E ≤1, (RT5) follows with cm = 2−3m. The
fixed subtraction band s ≥1 and the shrinking primary width w are distinct. At high energy the
product upper bound gives, for q ≤2m, a bound Cm,q(w−1 + sq)(1 + E)−q. These are the precise
positive majorants used in the parity switch. For an arbitrary profile of either parity, a nonnegative
even compact majorant and the odd division construction bound its subtracted response by a
constant times an even response of this form.
To specify the contacts in (RT8), let Rab,cd denote the compensated product-test distribu-
tion (RT0b), let Tab,cd be its value after Fourier transforming all four test slots, and let Qbcd =

Expand Q = P PT, use the exchange symmetries of the two tensor pairs, and commute the scalar
multipliers Pj; this gives B = P 2
i A + R1 and C = P 2
i B + R2 exactly. The compensated Q has no
contact jet of total order below three by (RT0b). On widths ≤λa this costs 3a with arbitrarily
small exponent slack. Multiplication by one frequency costs a and by three costs 3a; hence (RT15)
costs 4a and 6a, respectively. This proves the powers asserted after (RT8). Vanishing on profiles
with the required moments follows directly by evaluating the finite contact polynomial on those
moments.

The exterior-word integral of D−3000 has exponent u ≤150: u = 1 if d = l, and u = −(1 + wl) + 1
otherwise, by the line estimate. For a shear stress, the stress integral of Dwd has exponent one.
The squared response is at most C2λ2(3+wd)D−3000Dwd, by e−E/λwd ≤λwd/(E + λwd). Weighted
Cauchy–Schwarz therefore gives exponent 3 + wd + (u + 1)/2. If d = l, then u = 1 and wd ≤−150,
giving at most −146. If d ̸= l, a, b, then wd = −300 and u ≤150, giving at most −221.5. These
exhaust the shear case d ̸= a, b; both bounds are stronger than exponent −101.
If d = b, split instead at E = λ−3000. On the upper part use Z−99. Its stress integral has
exponent 1 + 4(−99) = −395, by (RT9) with slack one, and the squared response is at most
C2λ6D−3000Z−99. The resulting exponent is at most 3+(150−395)/2 < −101. On the lower part use
the crude stress weight D0, whose integral has exponent at most 3·300 = 900. The squared response
is at most C2λ2(3−1500)D−3000D0, giving exponent at most 3−1500+(150+900)/2 < −101. These
pointwise estimates are valid on the nonnegative spectrum and include E = 0. The complement of
the low box has arbitrary negative exponent by the damped moments and Schwartz tails discussed
after (RT9). Thus the spectral reading has exponent −101. Multiplying by the angular primitive’s
λ100 leaves exponent −1, as claimed in (RT0c). Decomposition into the finitely many reflection
parities preserves the bound; parity-mismatched terms integrate to zero by reflecting their odd axis.
The compact cutoffflux identity is therefore (RT1) equal to zero for every separated tuple on
a coordinate line. Translation along that line changes Kxlby the fixed vector Kel and leaves the
correlation unchanged. Subtracting the two angular identities gives the corresponding sum of the
translation shell maps equal to zero. Empty tuples give empty sums throughout.
19.17
The order of choices in the spectral sign walk
We record the quantitative induction that supplies the small mixed-band bound in (RT6). Let Q
be the finite set of axes being tested, with two signs assigned so that each axis has an opposite-sign
partner. Let U ⊆Q be the axes whose width exponent is still allowed to be negative, and let i be
the active axis. A finite route alternates signs and removes the currently visited axis from U. Such
a route exists by induction on |U|: if the active axis is in U, remove it and move to an opposite
partner. If it is not, choose an axis still in U; reach it directly if its sign is opposite, and otherwise
take one opposite-sign detour. This reduces the nonempty set after at most two such moves.
The induction statement is uniform in a width vector w with −K ≤wj ≤a, wi ≤d, and wj ≥0
outside U, for every 0 ≤d ≤a. It asserts a residual budget δ > 0 after sufficiently high moment
order, for nonnegative even compact profiles and all fixed support factors. If U is empty, the direct
spectral moment bound of order zero has a finite price exponent D. Choose a > 0 with aD < δ.
The nonnegative widths then pay its residual by that budget.
At an induction step from axis i to an opposite-sign axis j, first obtain the future bandwidth
a′ > 0 from the induction hypothesis for U \ {i}. Put p = K|Q \ {i, j}| and z = max(K, δ). Choose

an integer
k > (p + z)/a′.
(RSW1)
Only now purchase the moment estimate of order k, with its finite price exponent D, and choose
0 < a < a′ with aD < δ. The positive profile majorant constructed by the finite interpolant bounds
the baked profile and keeps the remainder nonnegative on the spectral half-line. The far part of
the two-axis comparison has exponent at most
−2ka′ + p + max(−wi, dD) ≤−2ka′ + p + z < 0.
(RSW2)
The near part is paid by the future hypothesis after replacing the active profile by that majorant
and its exponent by the nonnegative d. The two residuals have nonnegative spectral integrands.
The signed comparison inequality from (RT5) therefore bounds their sum by the two paid positive
quantities; no spectrum is transferred from one axis to another. Moment orders and thresholds can
be enlarged to their maximum. Induction along the finite route gives the bound for arbitrary initial
nonpositive widths, with one sufficiently small positive a. This explains why the future bandwidth
is chosen before the present moment order and why the contact-price exponent is chosen before the
present final bandwidth. It supplies the precise quantifiers behind the mixed-band estimate used
to derive the collinear Ward identities.
19.18
Normalized two-band diagonal estimate
For clarity, the six normalized readings used in (RT8)–(RT9) have the following common normal-
ization. Let W = λa, a ≤0, and let q(pW)
k
denote the order-k profile from (RT4) at width pW,
with all other profiles fixed. Put
a0 = Re A(q(W)
0
),
b0 = Re A(q(2W)
0
),
v = W −2 Re B(q(W)
1
),
V = W −2 Re B(q(2W)
1
),
r = W −4 Re C(q(W)
2
),
R = W −4 Re C(q(2W)
2
).
(DB1)
The normalization on the second band is still by W, not by 2W. Multiplication of the order-k + 1
profile by the frequency square gives (pW)2 times its order-k predecessor. Consequently (RT8)
gives small errors for v −a0, V −4b0, r −v, R −4V . The first contact error has unnormalized order
W 4, the second order W 6; their respective normalizations leave order W 2, including the arbitrary
small exponent slack. The zero-moment contact subtraction has the same bound: its constant
interpolation coefficient cancels between the two bands, and every nonconstant even coefficient has
at least a factor W 2.
Let f, g, h be the real spectral gap readings at these three orders, normalized by 1, W −2, W −4.
Their signs are f ≥0, g ≤0, h ≥0. The difference between a gap profile and its two-band difference
is exactly the finite interpolation debris just bounded. Hence the additional errors f −(a0 −b0), g −
(v −V ), h −(r −R) have the same small budget. Let K be the sum of the absolute values of these
seven errors. From g ≤0 we get a0 −4b0 ≤3K; from h ≥0 we get a0 −16b0 ≥−8K. Therefore
12b0 ≤11K, and
0 ≤f ≤a0 −b0 + K ≤3b0 + 4K ≤7K ≤100K.
(DB2)
Finite sums and fixed scalar multiples preserve the budget exponent, so (DB2) proves the small
diagonal gap bound. This is the algebraic step in (RT9); it needs positivity of the three response
signs and the contact bounds, and makes no positivity claim for the six individual band readings.

Ward kernel transfer and the rotation action
We explain how these identities extend to general tuples and to a group action. Differentiating a
shell integral is allowed because its fixed compact annulus remains separated under small move-
ments of the distinguished point. Differentiation acts both on the correlation and on the centered
angular coefficient. The latter derivative is the relevant constant translation coefficient. Hence
every position derivative of a line Ward test is again a finite sum of line Ward tests for successor-
degree labels. The all-order scaling comparison (WS7) transports these tests to the free quotient,
where the translation and angular actions are explicit derivatives of polynomials. Finitely many
separated reading maps suffice at each finite degree, by the detector argument in (WS4)–(WS5).
Their matrices converge to injective free matrices. This transfers the free rank statements for the
spaces of possible internal defects and forces any such defect to vanish. Thus the translation shell
map is one positive scalar c times the already constructed derivative, and the angular rows, divided
by c, satisfy the Ward identity at every separated tuple.
The finite-dimensional rank arguments just used have two different domains. For translation
rows, the domain at cap d is the real subspace of Q4
i=1 HomC(Fd, Fd+1) consisting of rows that kill
the unit, preserve each lower filtered image, commute with conjugation, and transform as a vector
under signed permutations. A reading is a position derivative at a fixed separated collinear tuple of
the Ward sum P
lS(v1, . . . , Tivl, . . . , vn). The free readings have common kernel precisely the real
line spanned by the derivative row. Select finitely many such readings by minimizing the dimension
of their common kernel. Adjoining a further reading cannot lower that minimal dimension, so this
finite kernel already equals the full kernel. Pullback by Uk turns the physical readings into matrices
on this one fixed real space; their convergence is (WS7). Eventual rank and the two known rows
in their kernels then give the translation normalization stated above.
For the internal angular defect, the domain is instead the real subspace
Id ⊂HomR(so(4), HomR(so(4), EndC Fd)) .
(RT17)
Its elements T(K, L) are alternating in K, L, kill the unit, commute with conjugation, preserve every
lower filtered image, and intertwine simultaneous conjugation of K, L by orientation-preserving
signed permutations with their action on labels.
The reading for a separated tuple, labels vl,
and K, L, is P
lS(v1, . . . , T(K, L)vl, . . . , vn). The free internal Ward separation says the common
kernel of these readings is zero at the required sufficiently large caps; lower caps follow by inclusion.
Select finitely many readings by the same decreasing-kernel-dimension argument. Their joint map
is injective. Transport by T 7→UkTU −1
k , retaining both Lie algebra slots, identifies the actual and
free domains; reality, signed covariance, unit preservation and lower-image preservation follow from
(WS1). On fixed free basis inputs the actual reading matrices converge to the free ones by order-
zero joint comparison. Linear independence of finitely many matrix columns is open, so they are
eventually injective. This permits testing the unknown, scale-dependent pulled-back defect without
assuming it is bounded. Its readings vanish by the Ward identity; injectivity makes the defect itself
zero.
The free internal separation used here has a concrete angular argument. Identify fields with
their Wick polynomials as in (FM3)–(FM7). For a fixed pair K, L, the assumed zero Ward sums
say that the corresponding polynomial endomorphism T is silent in every moment; in particular its
two-point pairings obey
⟨Tp(x), q(0)⟩+ ⟨p(x), Tq(0)⟩= 0.
(RT18)
It preserves the degree-four subspace by the lower-image condition. The explicit curvature contrac-
tion (FM2), expanded on its degree-four invariant polynomials, gives at equal radii x, y ̸= 0 the

identity
⟨p(x), q(0)⟩= ⟨(ρ(HyHx)p)(y), q(0)⟩,
(RT19)
where Hz = I −2zzT/|z|2 is reflection in the hyperplane normal to z, and ρ acts on all tensor legs.
This follows by substituting the orthogonal factor I −2zzT/|z|2 in the degree-four Wick pairings;
the radial factors agree, and contractions use the invariant color inner product. The explicit low-
degree evaluations and the extension to every filtered cap are (FS6)–(FS14), with (WE1)–(WE4)
and (HC1)–(HC4) supplying their concrete evaluation and collision steps. Apply (RT18) at x and
y, use (RT19) in both terms, and subtract. Positive definiteness of the reflected polynomial pairing
at x = −rei forces T to commute on degree four with ρ(HxHy). Taking y = ei + ej, with the
matching radius, makes this product a signed quarter-turn in the ij-plane.
Signed covariance of the two Lie algebra slots now makes T(K, L)p, for each degree-four p,
invariant under simultaneous quarter-turn conjugation of K, L. An alternating bilinear map with
this invariance is zero. To check this without representation theory, use the plane basis Eij of
so(4). Equal arguments vanish by alternation. For two planes sharing one axis, the square of a
quarter-turn in the remaining two axes preserves one plane and negates the other. For disjoint
planes, two quarter-turn substitutions exchange the arguments with the sign which, combined with
alternation, negates the value. Every coefficient is therefore its own negative. This proves that the
internal endomorphism kills the whole degree-four subspace, including the free stress.
The local angular Ward identity for the free stress then propagates this to higher degrees:
insert the stress in the silent moment sum, apply the compact angular shell integral, and use that
its T-term is zero. The remaining identity is the moment pairing of the commutator of T with
the free angular generator. Nondegeneracy of the Wick polynomial tests, proved by the reflected
Gram argument following (FM7), makes this commutator zero. Finite-dimensional ODE uniqueness
exponentiates that commutation to each quarter-turn at the higher cap. Signed covariance and the
same plane-basis calculation again force T = 0. This proves the separation of Id for every d ≥4
used in (RT17), rather than assuming an additional internal symmetry classification.
For the translation detector there are two further points behind its free one-dimensional kernel.
A separated target tuple can be joined to a tuple on any prescribed coordinate line by a segment
staying in configuration space: order the line coordinates by the target coordinates on that axis,
break ties by distinct arbitrarily small increments, and interpolate. Strict inequalities prevent a
collision along the segment, and tied target coordinates remain separated until the endpoint. All
position derivatives of the Ward sum vanish at the line tuple when all the scene readings vanish.
Analyticity of the explicit Wick kernels gives zero in its neighborhood and then along this segment.
Thus scene vanishing is the full silent-moment identity.
The color-vector, reality and filtration
restrictions of (RT17)’s translation analogue then give precisely the derivative line: the free Wick
coefficient calculation identifies its degree-four charge as a real scalar translation charge; subtract
that scalar derivative. The remaining silent row kills the free stress. The radial shell identity makes
its commutator with the engineering-weight derivation a ghost. The fixed exterior-cap separation
(FS13) kills that commutator, and the inversion-parity calculation (FS14) kills the row on every
higher cap. The complete charge and polynomial-separation calculations are (FS1)–(FS14), built
on the hierarchy (FM1)–(FM7) and the invariant spaces (FC1)–(FC15). The zero scalar case is
included.
Apply two orbital derivatives to that identity and subtract in opposite orders.
The vector
fields x 7→Kx have bracket with the opposite sign to the matrix bracket, while the substitutions
in a multilinear correlation have the same opposite sign. The resulting defect is [Y (K), Y (L)] −
cY ([K, L]), tested in the internal defect space just eliminated.
It is zero.
This proves the Lie
relations on the actual quotient.

There is a useful additional detail in fitting this representation to the free one: the deformed
matrices need not be normal. Put D = c−1Y , and work at one finite degree in the space of linear
maps between the two quotients. Its relative generators are RK(T) = D(K)T −TYfree(K). Their
sum of squares commutes with every RK: expand the commutator, use the plane matrix brackets,
and pair the two opposite ordered-plane terms. On the free side this sum is negative semidefinite
in the invariant inner product.
A real polynomial in it projects onto the zero eigenspace, by
interpolation on its finite real spectrum. Evaluate that same polynomial on the nearby deformed
sum of squares. The resulting matrices Pk converge to the free projection P, commute with all the
deformed generators, and obey P 2
k −Pk →0; they are not yet projections.
Correct them by iteration of φ(Z) = 3Z2 −2Z3. If e(Z) = Z2 −Z, direct polynomial multipli-
cation gives
φ(Z) −Z = (1 −2Z)e(Z),
e(φ(Z)) = (4e(Z) −3)e(Z)2.
(RT10)
For bounded Z and sufficiently small initial defect, the defect decreases at least geometrically by
1/2, and the increments are bounded by a fixed constant times that defect. The iterates are Cauchy
and converge to an exact idempotent Qk, with Qk −Pk →0. Polynomial iteration preserves every
commutation and every closed real symmetry constraint.
It remains to show that the relative generators vanish on its range. Each plane generator is
the bracket of two other plane generators. Since Qk commutes with them and is idempotent, the
restricted matrices RiQk satisfy those same perfect bracket identities. They tend to zero because
the free generators kill P. If M is the largest of their finitely many norms, the bracket identities give
M ≤2M2. Eventually M < 1/2, hence M = 0. Apply Qk to the comparison map corresponding
to the identity: its limit is the identity, so the result is invertible for large k and is an exact
intertwiner. Reality and signed permutations preserve it, because signed conjugation permutes the
plane generators with signs whose squares are one. This proves the required compatibility without
assuming a spectral theorem for the deformed matrices.
Transport the free orthogonal representation by this intertwiner. Its exponential derivative is
c−1Y (K). Along xl(t) = etKxland the simultaneously moved labels, the ordinary product rule and
the Ward identity show that the derivative of the correlation is zero. The product rule is valid jointly
in positions and labels: expansion in fixed finite bases is a finite sum of products of smooth position
functions and polynomial coefficient functions. Thus the correlation is constant along every plane
rotation. Plane rotations align any unit vector with a coordinate axis; every hyperplane reflection
is a conjugate of a coordinate reflection by such rotations. Reflections generate the orthogonal
group, so covariance holds for all of O(4).
All actions preserve the inclusions. This is first true for their generators by the quotient deriva-
tive and Ward identities; the two sides of an inclusion intertwining equation then solve the same
finite-dimensional linear differential equation along every exponential, with the same initial value.
Uniqueness proves it on the exponentials and the group generators. Finally average the normalized
stress c−1J, with its two tensor indices moved as well, over normalized Haar measure on compact
O(4). Conservation, reality and each shell identity are finite-dimensional linear identities, so they
pass through the integral. This produces a symmetric conserved covariant stress with the normal-
ized translation and angular charges on the same hierarchy. The next subsection uses precisely this
Euclidean action.
Source–readout formulation.
The four subsections above establish a symmetry of the recov-
ered hierarchy that is not a symmetry of the realized lattice source. Three statements should be
kept distinct.

1. The realized lattice source has only the signed permutation symmetry; the frame realization
intertwines exactly that group (Section 9). No continuous rotation acts on Z or on U.
2. The readout (the continuum hierarchy on the physical quotient) acquires the full O(4) covari-
ance. It is therefore a symmetry of the recovered object that is not the image of a symmetry
of the source: it is derived, through the stress shell maps, the vanishing of the outer flux and
the rank transfer from the free comparison sector.
3. The representation on labels is obtained by transport along an intertwiner from the free sector,
constructed by an exact idempotent correction; the choice of intertwiner is fixed up to the
commutant, and the resulting action on the quotient is determined by its generators c−1Y (K),
which are read from the hierarchy.
The quantitative heart of the flux estimate, and the conclusion, are the following.
Lemma 19.2 (Two-band elimination). With the six band readings (DB1) and the gap readings
f ≥0, g ≤0, h ≥0, let K be the sum of the absolute values of the seven errors v −a0, V −4b0,
r −v, R −4V , f −(a0 −b0), g −(v −V ), h −(r −R). Then
0 ≤f ≤a0 −b0 + K ≤3b0 + 4K ≤7K.
Proof. g ≤0 gives a0 −4b0 ≤3K (errors g −(v −V ), v −a0, V −4b0); h ≥0 gives a0 −16b0 ≥−8K
(errors h −(r −R), r −v, R −4V , v −a0, and V −4b0 four times). Subtracting, 12b0 ≤11K. Then
a0 −b0 = (a0 −4b0) + 3b0 ≤3K + 3b0 ≤3K + 11
4 K, and adding the error K of f gives at most
27
4 K ≤7K.
Theorem 19.3 (Euclidean covariance of the hierarchy). The free orthogonal representation trans-
ported by the intertwiner has exponential derivative c−1Y (K); along xl(t) = etKxlwith simultane-
ously moved labels the correlation is constant; hence the hierarchy is covariant under all of O(4), the
actions preserve the inclusions, and averaging the normalized stress c−1J (with its tensor indices
moved) over Haar measure of O(4) gives a symmetric conserved covariant stress with normalized
translation and angular charges on the same hierarchy.
Proof. The product rule holds jointly in positions and labels (finite basis expansions), and with
AK = 0 the derivative along a plane rotation vanishes. Plane rotations align any unit vector with a
coordinate axis, every hyperplane reflection is conjugate to a coordinate reflection, and reflections
generate O(4). Both sides of an inclusion-intertwining equation solve the same finite-dimensional
linear differential equation with the same initial value. Conservation, reality and the shell identities
are finite-dimensional linear identities and pass through the Haar integral.
The constant c > 0 is a normalization of the stress, fixed by the translation Ward identity; its
positivity is part of the rank-transfer conclusion. The contact subtraction (RT0b) is a retained
residual: the unsubtracted stress pair is not asserted to be conserved at coincident points. The
order of choices in the spectral sign walk (RSW1)–(RSW2) is part of the realized record: the bands,
the window and the tolerance are fixed before the limit in which the outer flux is removed, and the
seven error terms of Lemma 19.2 are each retained with their own bound until they are summed.
The passage from the Lie algebra to the group uses only the exponential of the generators on the
finite-dimensional filtered pieces and the signed permutations already present, so that all of O(4),
and not only its identity component, is obtained without assuming normality of a subgroup.

Sv[i←Lavi](X).
(BC1)
This follows by inverse rotation on finite-dimensional labels and smooth positional differentia-
tion.
Each label belongs to a finite-dimensional field space, so the multilinear scalar reading
is differentiable by its finite basis expansion.
Continue only after joint compact testing.
Set
ζi(z, X) = zti(X) + iyi. The parameters giving strict imaginary order for every support point
form an open convex U, containing the real axis, by compactness and affine gap inequalities. At
z = iw, folded Euclidean points are Qw(X)i = (xi, yi + wti). The divergence-free vector field
Vw =
X

[xi,a∂ti −w(yi + wti)∂xi,a]
maps under the linear part of Qw to w times its rotation field, including w = 0 without division.

Folded strict heights make the compactly supported product smooth; zero divergence makes its
derivative integral vanish. Replace iw by z ∈U. Pointwise holomorphy and joint continuity give
uniform local Cauchy formulas on the compact support, so bounded integration is holomorphic
in z. Imaginary zeros accumulate at zero; the identity theorem makes the integral zero at one.
The lift retains the compact test, folded map and both label generators. Recovery preserves the
finite-dimensional chain rule and tested holomorphic integral, including signs and the nonsingular
w = 0 case.
Absolute cone and tested rotation recovery.
Write τi = q0
i for the absolute time-frequency
coordinates. Every weakly increasing height vector has the unique description yi = c + P

This calculation preserves the absolute coordinates and makes explicit both conclusions of the weak-

Wv on every compact smooth test is equality with the
physical distribution, so the local vanishing argument and its distributional support are identical.
The same exponential tests gt and their e−t times polynomial seminorm bounds establish that
vanishing before any rotation or relativistic-spectrum step.

For each finite label carrier let jd, pd be its section and recovery. The source label generators
are LZ
a = jdLapd and KZ
a = jdKapd = −iLZ
a on the horizontal image. For lifted labels,
pdLZ
a jd = La,
pdKZ
a jd = Ka.
Finite label replacement and scalar table reading therefore commute with (BC1). Keep the physical
folded configuration Qw and compact test unchanged. Its linear derivative satisfies exactly
DQw(X)Vw(X) = w(ΩaQw(X)i)i,
div Vw = 0.
Indeed its time component is wxi,a and its spatial-a component is −w(yi + wti), also at w = 0.
Hence the source tested integral in (BC2) equals the physical tested integral, with identical label
signs. For arbitrary complex z the compact support determines the same open convex parameter
set U. Equality holds pointwise in the integrand before bounded integration on that support; the
local uniform Cauchy formula and identity theorem therefore recover its value zero at z = 1. This
keeps continuation at the tested level and introduces no spatial differentiability premise for strict
waves.

(BC3)
Compact cutoffs converge in Schwartz topology. Continuity of this polynomial-coefficient differen-
tial operator and the tested functional extends (BC3) to every joint Schwartz test. Poincare test
action is inverse placement (g · φ)(X) = φ(g−1X). For invertible A, translation b and weighted
derivative seminorms, chain rule and the coordinate bound give
pi,k(φ(A(· −b))) ≤(∥A−1∥+ ∥b∥)i∥A∥k2i

r≤i, s≤k pr,s(φ).
(BC4)
Compact-set derivative continuity as A, b vary and higher weighted seminorm tail control prove
strong Schwartz continuity. Boost inverse placement differentiates pointwise as
d

s=0
= −Ba,0φ.
(BC5)
The lift retains inverse placement and polynomial differential test operators. Recovery preserves
their finite coordinate actions, compact cutoffextension and seminorm bounds, including the
inverse-action sign. The strong derivative justification continues with the source argument.
19.22
Strong test derivatives and finite boost covariance
The boost derivative (BC5) holds in Schwartz topology. At parameter s its pointwise derivative is
the strongly continuous family D(s) = gs · (−Ba,0φ). Pointwise fundamental theorem writes the
quotient error as
R 1
0 [D(us)−D(0)](X) du. The same holds after every coordinate derivative. Taking
each weighted supremum bounds its seminorm by sup0≤u≤1 pi,k(D(us)−D(0)), which tends to zero
by continuity on the compact parameter interval.
This proves strong differentiation without a
Schwartz-valued integral. In (BC3), extra height terms i P
i yiΨv(y; ∂xi,aφ) vanish at the boundary
by each fixed-test limit. Hence

Wv[i←Kavi](φ) = Wv(Ba,0φ).

Place all labels in one finite field space and set H(s) = W(ρ(gs)vi)i(gs · φ). Finite-basis expansion
justifies the product rule; label derivatives in (BC6) cancel the negative test derivative. Repeating
at moved labels/tests and using the group law gives H′(s) = 0, so
W(ρ(gs)vi)i(gs · φ) = Wv(φ).
(BC7)
Translations and spatial rotations follow by strict-height analytic uniqueness and boundary change
of variables with unit-modulus Jacobian. Covariant transformations form a subgroup by represen-
tation and test-action laws, including inverses. Coordinate boosts and spatial rotations then give
full covariance with the stated group-generation input below. The lift retains finite label spaces,
strong test actions and boundary pairings. Recovery preserves finite-basis differentiation and the
cancelling height terms, transporting (BC6)–(BC7) with the same group-generation dependency.
Recovery of strong test motion and finite boosts.
Use the same joint Schwartz test carrier
on both sides of the readout. For TA,bφ(X) = φ(A(X −b)), the retained coordinate estimate is
∥X∥≤(∥A−1∥+ ∥b∥)(1 + ∥A(X −b)∥).
Together with the derivative chain rule it recovers (BC4) in every weighted seminorm. Thus test
recovery commutes with inverse placement, polynomial-coefficient differentiation and compact cut-
offapproximation. In particular the source tested boost operator is exactly BZ
a,yφ = Ba,yφ. For the
difference-quotient error Es in (BC5), its source seminorm reader is the same bound
pi,k(EZ
s ) = pi,k(Es) ≤sup
0≤u≤1
pi,k(D(us) −D(0)) −→0.
This recovers the strong derivative with its inverse-placement minus sign using the original pointwise
fundamental-theorem argument.
The finite-dimensional label section intertwines the boost action: ρZ(gs)jd = jdρ(gs), with
generator KZ
a
= jdKapd.
Every label in the fixed word lies in one common finite field space.
Writing bvi = jdvi, the scalar boundary reader obeys
W Z
(ρZ(gs)bvi)i(gs · φ) = W(ρ(gs)vi)i(gs · φ).
The recovered extra height term is i P
i yiΨv(y; ∂xi,aφ); each summand vanishes by its fixed
derivative-test boundary limit before finite-boost integration.
The label and test derivatives
of the displayed scalar pairing then cancel by (BC6) at every s, recovering (BC7).
The same
reader preserves the representation law, inverse test action and unit-modulus change-of-variables
Jacobian, so the covariance subgroup and its subsequent group-generation dependency remain
those of the retained construction.

with zero momentum immediate. This is a common neighborhood damping margin. Convolve the
indicator of the cone’s open distance-two neighborhood with a nonnegative unit-integral smooth
bump b supported within radius 1/2. The cutoffη is one within distance one, supported within
distance 5/2, with closed support inside distance three. All derivatives are globally bounded, since
derivatives can be put on the compactly supported bump and the indicator has absolute value at
most one: ∥Dkη∥∞≤∥Dkb∥L1. These use full absolute-frequency Euclidean distance, including
dimension zero. For closed height y and x in closed support, choose cone z within three. Then
−⟨y, x⟩≤⟨y, z −x⟩≤3∥y∥.
The lift retains suffix momenta, dual heights and this explicit convolution. Recovery preserves
summation by parts and distance margins, transporting the damping and derivative bounds in the
same absolute-frequency metric.

Closed-height multipliers and Fourier conventions
On cutoffsupport and ∥y∥≤R, the preceding exponential bound gives ∥Dl
xe−⟨y,x⟩∥≤e3RRl.
Leibniz and cutoffbounds yield, in the source’s polynomial-growth form,
∥Dk
x(ηe−⟨y,·⟩)(x)∥≤Ck,R(1 + ∥x∥)Nk.
(DC3)
Derivatives vanish offclosed support.
Thus multiplication acts continuously on Schwartz tests
uniformly for bounded closed heights; interior heights also retain (DC2) damping. These are the
cutoffand damping estimates needed for the subsequent tube construction. For N = 4n fix inverse
radian Schwartz maps
H g(q) =
Z
e−i⟨x,q⟩g(x) dx,
Pf(q) = (2π)−N
Z
ei⟨q,x⟩f(x) dx.
For closed height define Dyg(q) = η(q)e−⟨y,q⟩g(q). (DC3) and Leibniz control its seminorms by
finitely many test seminorms, uniformly on bounded height sets. Joint multiplier smoothness gives
jet convergence on compact frequencies, and one extra polynomial weight controls tails. Hence
y 7→Dyg is Schwartz-continuous even at boundary heights. The lift retains these inverse transforms
and multiplier seminorm bounds. Recovery preserves finite derivatives and weighted-tail control,
transporting closed-height continuity with the exact Fourier constants.
Dual-height and multiplier readout.
Retain the full absolute-frequency Euclidean space and
its closed cone C as physical reader coordinates. The source record for a cutoffis (C, b, η) with
η(q) =
Z
1{dist(q−h,C)<2}b(h) dh,
b ≥0,
Z
b = 1,
supp b ⊂{∥h∥≤1/2}.
Its readout is this actual convolution, preserving the distance-one unit region, distance-three closed-
support bound and derivative bills.
For the suffix-sum linear map S(p) = (Pj)n
j=2 and height-
difference map ∂y = (yj −yj−1)n
j=2, the dual reader is precisely
⟨p, y⟩= ⟨S(p), ∂y⟩
when
X
i
pi = 0.
This retains (DC1), its interior ball margin (DC2), and the empty tuple without changing coordi-
nates or pairings.

Keep the Schwartz test space unchanged under recovery.

If si,k(g) = max|α|≤k supq(1 + ∥q∥)i|∂αg(q)|, (DC3) therefore yields
si,k(Dyg) ≤C′
k,R si+N,k(g),
N = max
j≤k Nj,
∥y∥≤R.
These are the same test seminorms on the source carrier. On frequency tails one additional weight
gives a factor (1 + L)−1 outside ∥q∥≤L; on the remaining compact set joint smoothness gives jet
convergence as y varies. This explicitly recovers closed-height Schwartz continuity. The Fourier
readers retain the same inverse maps H , P and the factor (2π)−4n, so composition with Dy recovers
exactly the multiplier used in the subsequent tube construction.
19.25
Schwartz-valued tube lens
For open-tube Z = X + iY define λZ(q) = η(q)ei⟨X,q⟩−⟨Y,q⟩. Interior damping and the support-
distance bound give −⟨Y, q⟩≤A−c∥q∥on support, c > 0, with A = 3(∥Y ∥+c) sufficient. Frequency
derivatives cost powers of the linear functional norm. Leibniz and (1+t)keA−at ≤k!a−keA+a prove
sup
q (1 + ∥q∥)ke(c/2)∥q∥∥Dj
qλZ(q)∥< ∞.
(TL1)
Thus the lens is a Schwartz test with spare exponential margin. For small real-linear complex
functional L, ∥L∥≤min(a, 1), exponential remainders satisfy
∥Dj(eL(q) −1 −L(q))∥≤∥L∥2(1 + ∥q∥)2ea∥q∥.
(TL2)
Order zero uses the series remainder, order one uses eL −1, and higher orders use ∥L∥jeRL with
∥L∥≤1. Multiply by the lens and use (TL1) to bound every seminorm of λZ+H −λZ −i⟨H, ·⟩λZ by
Ck,j∥H∥2. For j ≥2, derivatives of the affine terms vanish and the bound follows from ∥L∥jeRL(q),
using ∥L∥≤1. This proves the joint complex Frechet derivative
dλZ(H)(q) = i⟨H, q⟩λZ(q).
(TL3)
For the tempered frequency functional set
Fv(Z) = (2π)−N c
Wv(λZ).
(TL4)
The lift retains the actual Schwartz lens, spare margin and Fourier factor. Recovery commutes with
its continuous distribution pairing and seminorm Taylor estimate, preserving the joint derivative
and tube definition.
19.26
Holomorphic emission and damped-distribution identity
Continuity of c
Wv transfers (TL3) to complex differentiability of Fv, hence full-tube holomorphy.
At this point no spectral support assertion is needed for holomorphy itself; the support condition
will make the result independent of the cutoff. Fix interior Y and Schwartz g(q) = η(q)e−⟨Y,q⟩,
gX = ei⟨q,X⟩g. Its transform is (H g)(· −X) and
pi,j(h(· −X)) ≤2i[pi,j(h) + ∥X∥ip0,j(h)].
(TL5)

This follows from ∥q∥≤∥q −X∥+ ∥X∥, splitting according to which summand is larger. Finite-
seminorm continuity of the tempered functional gives continuous polynomial growth of c
Wv(gX),
hence absolute integrability after joint Schwartz testing. For compact test φ, uniform jet control
permits passing the functional through the compact integral; Fourier inversion yields
c
Wv(DY (Pφ)) =
Z
Fv(X + iY )φ(X) dX.
(TL6)
Compact cutoffs extend this to all Schwartz tests: left continuity and right polynomial-growth
dominated convergence justify both passages. Thus the emission is the actual damped boundary
distribution at every interior height, without a fictitious norm on Schwartz space or an exchange of
unbounded integrals. The lift retains the translated Schwartz tests and finite-seminorm estimates.
Recovery preserves their continuous pairing and compact-cutofflimit, transporting (TL5)–(TL6)
with exact Fourier constants and absolute integral convergence.
Schwartz lens and emission recovery.
Retain (η, Z, λZ) as a source test record on the same
absolute frequency space. Its test readout is the actual λZ, and its scalar distribution readout is
c
W Z
v (g) = c
Wv(g). The damping margin and (TL2) therefore give in each Schwartz seminorm si,j
the recovered second-order remainder
si,j
 λZ+H −λZ −i⟨H, ·⟩λZ
 ≤Ci,j,Z∥H∥2
for sufficiently small H in the same open tube. This is a family of seminorm bounds, rather than
one norm on the test space. Continuous distribution reading recovers the derivative
dFZ
v (Z)(H) = (2π)−N c
Wv(i⟨H, ·⟩λZ) = dFv(Z)(H).
Thus the source emission is the same jointly holomorphic full-tube function, with the specified
Fourier normalization.
For fixed interior Y , the compact-support test integral identity behind (TL6) is, as an equality
of Schwartz functions,
(2π)−N
Z
gX(q)φ(X) dX = DY (Pφ)(q).
Uniform jet control on the compact X support permits the continuous frequency reader to pass
through this integral. The two resulting scalar readings are exactly the two sides of (TL6). For a
general joint Schwartz test, the same compact cutoffs converge on the left in the Schwartz topology
and on the right under the polynomial-growth bound from (TL5). Hence recovery preserves the
absolutely convergent smeared emission on every interior height, before cutoffindependence is used.
19.27
Tube identification and cutoff-independent covariance
A cone-supported distribution annihilates Schwartz tests vanishing near the cone. For compact
smooth g, the tests ηe−⟨Y,q⟩g and e−⟨Y,q⟩g agree near it, hence have equal readings. Compact support
is essential to the second test. At strict temporal y, bounded continuous fv,y defines tempered
uy. Apply (FT2) to e−⟨ey,q⟩g; exponentials cancel and cutoffremoval gives c
Wv(Deyg) = buy(g).
Schwartz continuity and compact cutoffs extend equality to all tests. Fourier inversion and (TL6)
identify their smeared functions; continuity and full-support Lebesgue upgrade almost-everywhere
to pointwise equality:
Fv(X + iey) = fv,y(X).
(TI1)

Thus this full tube continues the actual strict waves. For real Lorentz r, let r∨satisfy ⟨rX, r∨q⟩=
⟨X, q⟩. The height and frequency cones are invariant. Lenses λZ(q) and λrZ(r∨q) have identical
exponentials, and both cutoffs are one on a neighborhood of each cone point. Their cutofffactors
need not agree globally, but both equal one near every cone point p: use the intersection of the unit
ball about p and the inverse image of the unit ball about r∨p. Their difference has closed support
disjoint from it; hence the supported distribution gives them the same value. Fourier boundary
covariance therefore gives
F(ρ(r)vi)i(rZ) = Fv(Z).
(TI2)
The same local support comparison proves independence of permitted cutoffchoices. The lift retains
the cone-supported distribution, dual action and test domains. Recovery preserves these local lens
identities and Fourier inversion, transporting (TI1)–(TI2) without an invariant-cutoffassumption
or unrestricted exponential multiplication.
Cutoffremoval and covariance recovery.
Let C be the retained closed frequency cone. The
source frequency reader is the same tempered functional c
Wv with support in C. If h ∈S vanishes
on a neighborhood of C, choose smooth compact cutoffs κR with κRh →h in S. Each compact
test κRh is supported away from C, so
c
W Z
v (h) = lim
R
c
Wv(κRh) = 0.
This makes the support-based Schwartz readout explicit.
For compact smooth g it applies to
(η −1)e−⟨Y,q⟩g; compact support ensures the test belongs to S. At strict temporal y, the Fourier
test and damping reader thus recover
c
W Z
v (Deyg) = buy(g),
Z
FZ
v (X + iey)φ(X) dX =
Z
fv,y(X)φ(X) dX.
Continuity on both sides then gives exactly (TI1) pointwise, on the original strict-wave configura-
tions.
For a retained Lorentz motion, the dual frequency map is r∨= (r−1)T for the stated Euclidean
pairing. For each p ∈C the open set
{q : ∥q −p∥< 1} ∩{q : ∥r∨q −r∨p∥< 1}
contains p and makes both cutofffactors equal to one. Its union over p ∈C is the neighborhood on
which the two compared lenses agree. Their difference is Schwartz and the preceding support reader
therefore annihilates it. Together with the recovered boundary covariance this recovers (TI2) with
the same finite label action and dual map. Replacing the two cutofffactors by any two permitted
choices gives the identical argument for cutoff-independent emission. The readout retains each
individual cutoffand does not require it to be invariant.
19.28
Adjacent spacelike analytic germs
Fix adjacent slots i, j = i + 1 and their transposition σ. Choose y(m)
k
= ak/(m + 1) with ak = k
except aj = i. Exactly the selected gap is flat; every other ordered gap is strict. For two arguments
this profile is zero. Both orders belong to their closed height cones. At a real spacelike difference
v = Xj −Xi, put T = ∥v∥> |v0|, e = v/T, and
Cev = (v0e, e · v),
Ae(z)Z = Z + sinh z CeZ + (cosh z −1)SeZ,
338


## Source page 342

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

where Se projects onto the spatial-e and time plane. The time component of Cev is T and its
spatial norm is |v0|, so it is strictly future timelike. Under z = ib an adjacent imaginary difference
becomes
Y + sin b V + (cos b −1)W,
V = Ce Re(∆Z),
W = SeY.
(LG1)
Strict gaps remain strict in a neighborhood of b = 0. At the flat gap,
sin b V + (cos b −1)W = sin b

V −
sin b
1 + cos bW

.
The parenthesis remains strictly timelike near (0, Z0); for small b > 0 its addition to a closed-cone
Y enters the open cone.
Finitely many gaps permit one product neighborhood and one angle,
uniformly down to zero. For the transposed order use the opposite imaginary boost: both sign
reversals at the flat gap cancel. Thus the original tube and the transposed tube each have a small
imaginary-boost path into their interiors, with this path property holding for nearby points of the
corresponding tube, not just at the boundary point itself.
Here is the label continuation, retaining the source’s finite-dimensional hypothesis. For a contin-
uous one-parameter group u(t) in a unital Banach algebra, set V (t) =
R t
0 u(s) ds. Then V ′(t) = u(t)
and V (t)/t →1. Choose nonzero a with g = V (a)/a invertible. The group law yields
u(t)V (a) = V (t + a) −V (t),
u(t) = a−1[V (t + a) −V (t)]g−1.
Thus u is differentiable. With B = u′(0) it satisfies u′ = uB; d[u(t)e−tB]/dt = 0 and u(0) = 1 give
u(t) = etB. On the finite field space containing the chosen labels this supplies the entire extension
u(z) = ezB.
At the chosen boundary point take the small endpoint it above and put
G(Z) = F(u(it)vk)k(Ae(it)Z).
(LG2)
Its endpoint is interior, hence G is holomorphic on a full neighborhood. For a nearby original-tube
point consider
QZ(z) = F(u(z)vk)k(Ae(z)Z).
Expansion of the moving labels in the fixed finite basis makes this holomorphic near the whole
boost path. For real z, TI2 makes it constant with value Fv(Z). The one-variable identity theorem
propagates that constant along the connected path to it. Thus G is an actual extension of the
original emission. The opposite path, with permuted labels, gives the second germ: permutation is
complex linear and commutes with real boosts. Both germs use the same spectator height sequence
tending to zero.
The next argument identifies the two germs and passes their equality to the
boundary exchange relation.
In the lifted object retain the ordered labels, transposition, height profile, finite label space
and the entire boost action together with the lens data. The readout LG2 is compatible with the
original tube readout by the path argument, and restriction recovers the original emission. The
germ is therefore independent of its path presentation on overlaps by analytic uniqueness; the
retained order still records which boundary exchange is to be established next.
Recovery of the boost-path germ.
The source germ record retains the adjacent transposition
σ, physical boundary point Z0, spectator-height profile, direction e, endpoint angle t, and one finite
label carrier containing the word. The configuration reader is the actual complex boost Ae(z)Z.
Directly taking its imaginary part at z = ib gives (LG1), so the same closed-to-open cone path and

its product neighborhood are retained. The angle and neighborhood are chosen with the quantifiers
supplied for that boundary configuration and profile; the record does not replace them by a global
uniform angle over all profiles.
On the horizontal image of the finite coefficient section jd, put BZ = jdBpd and uZ(z) = jdezBpd.
Since pdjd = I, its entire power series and recovery give
pduZ(z)jd = ezB,
uZ(z)jd = jdu(z),
uZ(z1)uZ(z2) = uZ(z1 + z2).
Here the identity at z = 0 is the identity on that horizontal image. This preserves the source’s
finite-dimensional analytic label action. Define the source germ reader using those lifted labels and
the same boosted point:
GZ(Z) = FZ
(uZ(it)jdvk)k(Ae(it)Z) = F(u(it)vk)k(Ae(it)Z) = G(Z).
The same equality holds for QZ(z) throughout its retained connected path neighborhood. Real
boost covariance and the one-variable identity theorem therefore recover its constant value at the
endpoint before restricting to the original tube. Permutation commutes with the componentwise
lifted boost action, so the opposite path recovers the transposed germ with the same spectator
profile. These explicit readers preserve the local holomorphic extension and its overlap uniqueness;
identification of the two orders remains the subsequent germ-comparison step.
19.29
Germ identification and actual partial boundaries
First set all real times to zero and retain the common spectator profile with only the selected
adjacent heights tied. The Euclidean configuration q = ((xk, yk))k has no collisions: untied slots
have different heights and the tied spacelike pair has different spatial positions. Define the totally
real Wick slice
M(q) = (qk, iq0
k)k.
Its image spans the entire complex configuration space: every point is M(u)+iM(v), using the real
and imaginary spatial parts and, for time, the imaginary part and negative real part respectively.
The germ G+ ◦M equals the smooth Euclidean hierarchy Sv on the strictly ordered side. On
the opposite open side G−◦M equals the permuted hierarchy by strict-wave identification, and
hence Sv by permutation symmetry. Both open sides accumulate at q, since the tied heights can
be separated in either direction. For every m, continuity of derivatives up to the tied-height point
gives
Dm(G+ ◦M)(q) = DmSv(q) = Dm(G−◦M)(q).
The chain rule identifies these with restrictions of the complex m-linear derivatives.
Complex
multilinearity and the spanning property give equality on all complex arguments. Equality of the
convergent Taylor series therefore proves
G+ = G−
near M(q).
(GE1)
This uses equality of limiting jets, not an assumed common open Euclidean side.
To identify the distributions represented by these germs, let E be an interior tube function and
G a holomorphic extension through X + iY . Suppose the interior height slices converge weakly to
Q. Choose a small real ball about X and a small height neighborhood whose product lies in the
germ domain and on which G is bounded by C. For every compact smooth joint test φ supported

in that ball, agreement with E at interior points and dominated convergence with majorant C|φ|
give
Q(φ) =
Z
G(X′ + iY )φ(X′) dX′.
(GE2)
The approach is nonempty since the base point is in the tube closure; the weak limit is the one
already supplied by the damped-distribution boundary theorem. Thus (GE2) identifies that par-
ticular partial boundary; it does not merely define a new distribution. Apply GE2 to each order.
In the transposed case reindex all real variables by σ: it preserves Lebesgue measure, is its own
inverse, pulls back the test and permutes the heights. Both partial boundaries are consequently
represented by the two germs in the same original variables. GE1 gives their local equality at
these zero-real-time spacelike configurations. The extension to general spacelike configurations and
passage to zero height remain the subsequent source steps. Apply this argument separately to the
original and transposed tubes.
The lifted germ record retains the Wick slice, both ordered domains, all limiting jets, the
common smooth hierarchy and the tested boundary functional. Its realization is the pair of analytic
restrictions; its observable readout is GE2. The spanning argument proves recovery of the entire
germ from the retained jets, while restriction and the specified weak limit recover the original
partial distributions. Reindexing is an invertible source operation, so no orientation or test-variable
information is lost by comparing the two orders.
Explicit germ recovery from Wick-slice jets.
For a complex tangent argument Ha, retain
its unique real decomposition Ha = M(ua) + iM(va). If Jm = Dm(G ◦M)(q) is the retained real
jet, its full complex derivative is recovered by the finite formula
DmG(M(q))[H1, . . . , Hm] =
X
ε∈{0,1}m
i|ε|Jm[w1,ε1, . . . , wm,εm],
wa,0 = ua,
wa,1 = va.
The zeroth jet is the scalar value. Thus the equal limiting jets from the two different Euclidean
sides recover all equal complex derivatives. The analytic germ readout is their convergent local
Taylor series,
G(M(q) + H) =
∞
X
m=0
1
m!DmG(M(q))[H, . . . , H].
This is the explicit recovery map giving (GE1) from the supplied smooth hierarchy jets and the
analytic germs already constructed.
For the partial boundary retain the original weak-limit functional QY , the local germ ball and
the admissible interior height approach. Scalar source recovery gives on its compact tests
QZ
Y (φ) = QY (φ) =
Z
G(X + iY )φ(X) dX.
The same local bound C|φ| controls both readers, so this is the actual partial limit (GE2). If Q−
Y
is the transposed reader in its own coordinates, its recovered original-variable functional is
(σ∗Q−
Y )(φ) = Q−
Y (φ ◦σ),
| det σ| = 1,
σ−1 = σ.
The heights and ordered labels are permuted with these same variables. It follows that the two
recovered partial boundaries are represented in one coordinate system by G+ and G−respectively,
and (GE1) gives their local equality with the source’s zero-real-time scope. The later passage to
general spacelike points and zero height remains attached to its subsequent construction.

Independent heating, Gram recovery and product-test density
For a positive ordered height profile y, choose p smaller than its initial height and all its gaps. With
zi = ti(X) + iyi, retain the actual chamber vector
ξp,y,v(X) = R(z1, p, x1)Bp(v1)R(z2 −z1, 2p, x2 −x1)Bp(v2) · · ·
R(zn −zn−1, 2p, xn −xn−1)Bp(vn)Ω.
At arity zero it is Ω. Recursive contractions give
∥ξp,y,v(X)∥≤∥Ω∥
Y
i
∥Bp(vi)∥.
(HV1)
These vectors vary strongly continuously in X: heat factors vary in operator norm in the open
half-plane, spatial translations vary strongly, and induction applies to the recursively varying ket.
At zero real times the vector is the planted future word at (xi, yi), by the insertion/translation
recursion of SW4 with reference width zero.
Its Gram product with an independently chosen
q, z, w is the Euclidean hierarchy of the reflected reversed first word followed by the second. For
arbitrary real times multiply the first time array by  ̄c and the second by c. Antilinearity of the first
slot makes the Gram product holomorphic in c on an open horizontal strip containing 0, 1 where
both widths satisfy their height inequalities. The hierarchy is holomorphic there too. On purely
imaginary c both words are Euclidean planted words with shifted heights. Analytic uniqueness
yields
⟨ξp,y,v(X), ξq,z,w(Y )⟩= f(Jvn,...,Jv1,w1,...,wm),(−yn,...,−y1,z1,...,zm)
(Xn, . . . , X1, Y1, . . . , Ym).
(HV2)
The widths need not agree. The first real block is reversed without another geometric reflection;
its imaginary heights already changed sign.
For a smeared word b = ((vi, φi))n
i=1, put φb(X) = Q
i φi(Xi), yi(t) = it (the integer slot index
times the positive real t), p(t) = min(t, 1)/8, and
ηb(t) =
Z
φb(X)ξp(t),y(t),v(X) dX.
HV1 and Schwartz integrability make this an absolutely integrable Hilbert-valued integral. Com-
mon real translation changes only the initial propagator; all relative ones are unchanged. At arity
zero, heat invariance of Ωextends by holomorphic uniqueness to the half-plane and then its real-
time edge. Changing integration variables gives
ηa·b(t) = U(a)ηb(t).
(HV3)
Integrating HV2 is justified by the same fixed-height bounds.
Reversal of the first block is a
measure-preserving real linear isometry; its test is φb(X)φc(Y ), exactly that of b∗c. The joined
height profile is strictly ordered for all independent t, u > 0 and tends to zero with the pair. The
independence of the parameters is stronger than a diagonal limit and is what will make the shot
vectors Cauchy. The all-height boundary theorem gives
lim
t↓0
u↓0
⟨ηb(t), ηc(u)⟩= W(b∗c).
(HV4)
The two-parameter conclusion, rather than only a diagonal limit, is retained for the subsequent
Cauchy argument.

Finite sums of product Schwartz tests are dense in joint Schwartz space.
For a compactly
supported joint test φ, take a product cutoffχ = Q
i χi equal to one on its support. Compact
frequency cutoffs of its Fourier transform, inverted and multiplied by χ, converge to φ in Schwartz
topology. Each is an integral over a compact frequency set of product tests
χ(X)ei⟨q,X⟩=
Y
i
χi(Xi)ei⟨qi,Xi⟩.
This family is continuous in every Schwartz seminorm: its derivatives vary jointly on common
compact spatial support. Quadrature approximates the integral in each seminorm by finite sums
of products. A diagonal choice over the countable seminorms gives Schwartz convergence. Finally
smooth compact spatial cutoffs approximate any Schwartz test. For arity zero, the constant one
on the one-point space already spans it.
The lifted heated-word source retains p, y, q, z independently, the chamber vectors and their joint
Gram kernel. Readout HV2 recovers the hierarchy, and HV4 recovers its boundary word functional.
The bound HV1 supplies the integration domain, while product-test density recovers joint tested
distributions from these word readouts. No diagonal identification of heating parameters enters
this recovery.
Independent heated-vector and joint-test recovery maps.
Use the chamber section unitary
VH and the already lifted buffered factors. Form the source shot in exactly the displayed order,
with the initial factor RZ(z1, p, x1). Cancellation of adjacent inverse unitaries gives
ξZ
p,y,v(X) = VHξp,y,v(X),
∥ξZ
p,y,v(X)∥= ∥ξp,y,v(X)∥.
Thus (HV1) and strong continuity recover on the same positive-height and fixed-width domains.
For independent widths and profiles the Gram reader is
⟨ξZ
p,y,v(X), ξZ
q,z,w(Y )⟩= ⟨ξp,y,v(X), ξq,z,w(Y )⟩.
It recovers the complete reversed-adjoint/second-word ordering in (HV2), including the negative
reversed first heights and unchanged reversed real coordinates. Antilinearity in the first slot retains
the  ̄c, c continuation used to establish that identity.
Boundedness of VH permits it to pass through the absolutely integrable Hilbert-valued smearing
integral, so
ηZ
b (t) = VHηb(t),
ηZ
a·b(t) = UZ(a)ηZ
b (t),
lim
t,u↓0⟨ηZ
b (t), ηZ
c (u)⟩= W(b∗c).
The limit uses the full two-parameter approach and the same joined height profile. No equality
of widths or heating parameters is imposed. The measure-preserving reversed-variable map and
conjugated first test are retained before this limit.
Finally let φr be the finite product-test sums obtained by the source’s compact frequency
quadrature and spatial cutoffconstruction, with φr →φ in all joint Schwartz seminorms. Every
retained continuous joint distribution reader Q recovers by
QZ(φ) = lim
r QZ(φr) = lim
r Q(φr) = Q(φ).
This recovery is independent of the approximating product sums by continuity. It includes the
one-point test space at arity zero and preserves the passage from word-vector identities to full joint
tests.

Spacelike exchange with all spectator variables
Two germs anchored to the same tube at a closure point agree: on a small connected ball both
equal the tube function on a nonempty open intersection, so analytic uniqueness applies. Along a
continuous path in two tube closures, nearby selected germs therefore agree with the restrictions
of the germs at the original base point. Equality of the two extensions is locally constant along the
path, in either direction, and hence constant on a connected interval. For any designated spacelike
pair, contract all real times by
Xk(s) = (xk, stk),
0 ≤s ≤1.
Spacelikeness persists since s|tj −ti| ≤|tj −ti| < ∥xj −xi∥. With the fixed spectator heights
the path is in both tube closures, and the germs exist throughout. GE1 at s = 0 propagates to
s = 1. GE2 now identifies the partial distributions locally on each sufficiently small real ball in the
spacelike-pair open set. Their difference has support disjoint from this open set, so it vanishes on
Schwartz tests whose closed support is contained there. One can see the last assertion by compact
smooth cutoffs and their Schwartz convergence, using the local vanishing on each compact support.
For each profile y(m), the partial distributions agree. Their closed-height multipliers converge in
Schwartz topology at zero height, where the cutoffis one near the frequency support; the damped
boundary theorem therefore gives the undamped distribution on every fixed test, in both orders.
Uniqueness of scalar limits yields
Wv(φ) = Wv◦σ(φ ◦σ),
supp φ ⊂{X : Xj −Xi is spacelike}.
(LC1)
For a product test, its closed support lies in the inverse image of each factor support under the
coordinate projections. Mutually spacelike supports of the selected factors therefore meet the LC1
condition. Permuting them exchanges precisely those factors. Inserting arbitrary spectator words
on both sides gives
W
 a (v, φi)(w, φj) b
 = W
 a (w, φj)(v, φi) b
.
(LC2)
There is no restriction on spectator supports. The lifted source retains the full joint distribution
and the path of both germs; readout first takes the specified partial boundary and then the zero-
height limit. LC1 proves compatibility with adjacent permutation on its spacelike domain, and
LC2 recovers the word relation required on the common field domain. It does not discard spectator
variables or replace the tested relation by pointwise boundary values.
Recovery of spacelike exchange with spectators.
Let Oij be the open real configuration set
where the selected adjacent difference is spacelike. Retain its full joint test space and define the
exchange-difference reader
∆v(φ) = Wv(φ) −Wv◦σ(φ ◦σ).
At each retained spectator profile y(m), use the two actual partial boundary readers in the original
variables to define ∆v,m. The source germ/path recovery gives the same ∆v,m and makes it zero on
each compact test in Oij. Smooth compact cutoffs extend that zero to Schwartz tests with closed
support contained there. The fixed-test zero-height recovery is explicitly
∆Z
v (φ) = lim
m→∞∆Z
v,m(φ) = lim
m→∞∆v,m(φ) = 0.
For each order this limit uses Dey(m)g →ηg in Schwartz space and c
Wv(ηg) = c
Wv(g) by spectral
support.
Thus the reader preserves the order of partial-boundary realization, profile limit and
adjacent exchange. On product tests the unchanged coordinate projections recover exactly the
mutual-spacelike condition on the two selected factors. All other factors remain arbitrary, recovering
the whole LC2 word identity with both spectator lists.

Faithful boundary labels and reconstruction on a common domain
Suppose a union label x is a boundary marker: every expectation containing its smearing, with
arbitrary words before and after, vanishes. Splitting a word at that slot gives vanishing on product
tests; their density and distributional continuity give vanishing on all joint tests. Represent x by
a raw label w in a finite quotient field space. The associated full-tube emission vanishes, so TI1
makes every strictly time-ordered Euclidean reading zero. This remains true after any permutation
of the arguments, because the marker may occupy any slot. At any distinct Euclidean configuration
sort its heights and approach them by strictly ordered heights with spatial coordinates fixed. Dis-
tinctness persists locally; smoothness gives zero at tied heights too. Undo the sorting permutation.
The boundary-marker reader can be expressed as the kernel
M = {x : W(a(x, φ)b) = 0 for every a, b, φ}.
The label section and scalar word recovery preserve every defining pairing of this set. Product-test
density and tube/Euclidean recovery then give the same raw Euclidean null preimage for each finite
label representative; the retained quotient map reads its class as zero. Consequently the source
boundary-marker kernel on physical union labels is also zero. This uses the supplied null-space
criterion and its retention on the selected hierarchy.
The Euclidean null-space criterion puts w in its finite-level null space. The selected hierarchy
retains exactly the original null spaces, so its original quotient class, and hence x in the union, is
zero. Thus boundary faithfulness is recovered from the retained Euclidean quotient rather than
imposed as a new field assumption.
HV4 makes each ηb(t) Cauchy: the four terms in
∥ηb(t) −ηb(u)∥2 = ⟨ηb(t), ηb(t)⟩−⟨ηb(t), ηb(u)⟩
−⟨ηb(u), ηb(t)⟩+ ⟨ηb(u), ηb(u)⟩
have the same independent two-parameter limit. Completeness supplies ηb, and HV3–HV4 give
⟨ηb, ηc⟩= W(b∗c),
η∅= Ω,
ηa·b = U(a)ηb.
(FR1)
Thus the Hermitian kernel K(b, c) = W(b∗c) is positive, since
X
α,β
zαzβK(bα, bβ) =

X
α
zαηbα

≥0.
The empty expectation is one. Take finite formal sums of smeared words, with this form linear in
the second slot, quotient by its zero-norm subspace, and complete to HW . Write [b] for a word
class, D = span{[b]}, and ΩW = [∅]. The dense common field domain is exactly D; the vacuum is
a unit vector. For l= (x, φ), formal left insertion satisfies
⟨Llp, q⟩= ⟨p, Ll∗q⟩,
l∗= (Jx, φ).
(FR2)
If p is null, choose the formal sum q = Llp; Cauchy–Schwarz for the positive form and FR2 imply
∥Llp∥2 = ⟨p, Ll∗q⟩= 0. Hence insertion descends, and
Φ(x, φ)[b] = [(x, φ)b]: D →D
(FR3)
is well defined. Pairing every proposed additive or scalar relation with all word vectors proves
bilinearity in x, φ, by the multilinearity of the joint distributions and product tests and density.

FR2 gives the adjoint identity on this common domain. Iteration of FR3 recovers all word vectors
and their prescribed vacuum expectations; their span gives cyclicity. For fixed ψ ∈D, the map
φ 7→Φ(x, φ)ψ is norm-continuous: expand the squared norm difference into diagonal and mixed
joint-distribution pairings. The two-smearing pairings are jointly continuous by continuity of prod-
uct tests in Schwartz topology. Finite sums of word vectors give the general assertion. No field
boundedness is asserted.
LC2 paired against all word probes gives
[Φ(x, φ), Φ(y, ψ)]

D = 0
for mutually spacelike test supports.
If all Φ(x, φ) vanish on D, pair the zero insertion with
the reversed adjoint left spectator word to obtain vanishing expectations with x in every slot.
Involutivity of J removes the double reversal. The marker criterion above then implies x = 0,
proving faithfulness of the prescribed label quotient.
For the source lift define the word realization on finite sums by V0(P
b cb[b]) = P
b cbηb. FR1
proves that its kernel is exactly the word null space and that it is isometric there.
It extends
to a unitary from HW onto the closed span of the retained chamber limits ηb; no assertion that
this span equals a larger chamber is needed here. The word source, its null quotient and the left-
concatenation reader therefore recover the Hilbert space and unbounded operators with precisely
their actual domain. The operator identity and adjoint pairing are transported on that domain,
not inferred from compression of bounded approximants.
Positive word-quotient and common-domain recovery.
Let W be the formal finite word
span and N = {p : K(p, p) = 0}. The lifted heated vectors recover their actual limits under the
bounded section unitary:
ηZ
b = lim
t↓0 VHηb(t) = VHηb,

X

.
Thus the source word realization has exactly kernel N and recovers the same positive word quotient.
On its completion, write VW : HW →HZ
W for the resulting unitary and DZ = VW D. The exact
operator reader is
ΦZ(x, φ)VW [b] = VW [(x, φ)b],
V −1
W ΦZ(x, φ)VW = Φ(x, φ)
on D.
It uses null preservation from (FR2) before completion; its domain is precisely the transported
algebraic word span. The adjoint statement on that span is the pairing identity
⟨ΦZ(x, φ)VW p, VW q⟩= ⟨VW p, ΦZ(Jx, φ)VW q⟩,
p, q ∈D.
For a fixed word-domain vector p and a convergent test sequence, unitarity also recovers the exact
smearing norm difference
∥ΦZ(x, φr)VW p −ΦZ(x, φ)VW p∥= ∥Φ(x, φr −φ)p∥−→0.
Its continuity follows from the retained diagonal and mixed Gram pairings, rather than an operator-
norm bound. The same intertwining recovers the LC2 commutator on this domain, cyclic word
generation, and the zero boundary-marker criterion for faithfulness.
Thus the positive kernel,
completion, unbounded field actions and their precise common domain all use one word quotient.

Spacetime representation, cone support and attachment
Transform every letter by the finite-dimensional label action and inverse placement of its test.
Boundary covariance and compatibility with the letter adjoint preserve K, so
U(g)[b] = [g · b]
extends to an isometry with inverse U(g−1) and satisfies the group law. Strong continuity requires
no topology on the full label union: pin the finitely many labels in one finite field space and expand
in a fixed basis. Each moved expectation is a finite sum of continuous label coordinates times
continuous fixed-label pairings with moved tests (BC4). Mixed word pairings are continuous; the
squared-norm identity gives norm continuity on words and finite sums. For an arbitrary vector,
approximation within ε/3 and isometry control both errors uniformly in g. The vacuum is fixed, D
is invariant, and
U(g)Φ(x, φ)U(g)−1 = Φ(ρ(g)x, g · φ)
on D.
(FR4)
The attachment I[b] = ηb is isometric by FR1, sends the vacuum to Ω, and intertwines translations.
For completeness retain the group-generation calculation. For a strictly future timelike vector
with time T > 0, a coordinate boost of rapidity s = −artanh(xa/T) sets xa to zero, since T sinh s+
xa cosh s = 0. It preserves the other spatial components and the strict future cone. Three such
boosts send any future unit timelike vector to e0. Given proper orthochronous g, choose their
product k with kge0 = e0.
Preservation of the Lorentz pairing makes kg preserve time, and
preservation of the quadratic form then makes it an orthogonal spatial turn with the original
determinant. Hence g = k−1(kg) is generated by the coordinate boosts and spatial turns used in
the boundary-covariance argument.
The absolute-frequency cone is the intersection of inverse images, under all r∨, of the FT3
time cone. Pulling a test disjoint from one such inverse image through r∨, applying time-cone
support for the transformed labels and transforming back proves support in each inverse image.
Its intersection has the DC1 suffix description: a weakly increasing step height, zero before a
suffix and one on it, forces nonnegative suffix time momentum in every Lorentz frame. A vector
with that property is future causal: negative time is excluded by the identity, and spatial norm
larger than nonnegative time is excluded by a boost toward its spatial direction. Constant positive
and negative heights force total time momentum zero; the total suffix is future causal, hence also
has zero spatial part. Conversely, zero total momentum and future-causal proper suffixes imply
every time-cone inequality by telescoping, in every frame. This uses absolute frequencies without
switching to relative coordinates.
Let P be the joint translation projection-valued measure, with
⟨v, U(a)v⟩=
Z
ei⟨p,a⟩dμv(p),
μv(B) = ⟨v, P(B)v⟩.
The isometric translation attachment I makes these characteristic functions equal to the chamber
ones at Iv. This follows by conjugating translations and comparing characteristic functions, using
preservation of Hilbert inner products. Uniqueness of Fourier transforms of finite measures identifies
their diagonal measures; the chamber measures have nonnegative time support by the following
semigroup construction. Lorentz conjugation of translations gives
μU(r)v = (r∨)∗μv.
(SP1)
If p ∈supp μv, every r∨p therefore has nonnegative time component. The preceding characterization
puts p in V +. Every diagonal measure has this support, and polarization yields
P(V c
+) = 0.
(SP2)

This concerns the actual field translation representation in addition to the hierarchy’s distributional
support. In the lifted representation, FR4 and the intertwining isometry retain the field domain
and all translation matrix elements. Fourier uniqueness recovers their finite spectral measures; SP1
transports those measures and SP2 recovers the spectral projection statement. No surjectivity onto
the entire chamber is required for this transfer.
Spacetime and spectral projection recovery.
For the completed word section VW , define
UZ(g) = VW U(g)V −1
W . On each word class this is exactly the lifted letterwise motion, so its group
law, vacuum and invariant domain recover those of the source.
Strong continuity is preserved
quantitatively by
∥UZ(g)VW v −UZ(g0)VW v∥= ∥U(g)v −U(g0)v∥.
For the source’s dense-word approximation p to v, the latter is bounded by 2∥v −p∥+ ∥U(g)p −
U(g0)p∥. This keeps the finite-label/Schwartz proof on the dense span and its extension to arbitrary
vectors. Conjugating the actual domain identity (FR4) recovers covariance on DZ.
Let VR identify the chamber source and define its attachment by IZ = VRIV −1
W . It remains an
isometry and reads
IZVW [b] = VRηb,
IZUZ(a) = UZ
R(a)IZ.
This isometry is enough to recover the diagonal translation measures; its range need not be the
entire chamber at this step. For the actual field spectral measure define
P Z(B) = VW P(B)V −1
W ,
μZ
VW v(B) = ⟨VW v, P Z(B)VW v⟩= μv(B).
The characteristic-function reader and finite-measure Fourier uniqueness therefore identify the same
attachment measures on both carriers. The Lorentz action and dual frequency map recover (SP1),
while the retained coordinate-boost generation and suffix-cone argument recover the same cone
support. In particular the spectral projection readout is
V −1
W P Z(V c
+)VW = P(V c
+) = 0.
Thus (SP2) is preserved for the translation representation of the actual completed field space, with
its stated chamber-semigroup nonnegative-time dependency.
19.34
Heat contractions from reflection-positive words
For finite sums p of future words let Xp be their chamber vectors and Ttp their forward translation
by t ≥0. Reflection and translation of the Euclidean hierarchy give
⟨XTtp, XTuq⟩= ⟨Xp, XTt+uq⟩.
(OS1)
The fixed-word correlation bound implies c = supt≥0 ∥XTtp∥< ∞: bound each translated word
norm by the square root of its reflected two-word correlation bound and sum the finitely many
coefficient-weighted bounds. Then
∥XTtp∥2 = |⟨Xp, XT2tp⟩| ≤∥Xp∥c.
Taking the supremum gives c2 ≤∥Xp∥c, hence c ≤∥Xp∥(including c = 0). Forward translation
preserves null vectors and extends to a contraction E(t) on the completion. OS1 makes it self-
adjoint. Translation parallel to the reflection plane preserves the Gram form and has its opposite as
inverse, giving the commuting spatial unitaries. Semigroup and commutation laws hold on planted
348

words and extend by density. Strong continuity on planted words follows by expanding squared
norm differences into continuous Euclidean correlations; finite sums and uniform contraction bounds
extend it to the completion. The spatial group is strongly continuous by the same argument. Thus
the wave construction uses a recovered self-adjoint contraction semigroup, rather than a separately
postulated heat evolution. The lifted source is the planted-word Gram form with its translation
operations; the quotient reader preserves OS1 and its null ideal, recovering exactly these completed
operators.
19.35
Holomorphic heat powers and the energy-support reader
Each E(t) = E(t/2)2 is positive with spectrum in [0, 1]. Set A = E(1) and define, for Re z > 0,
F(z) = Az,
0z = 0.
The function λz is continuous on [0, 1], uniformly continuous in z on compact subsets of this half-
plane. Bounds on λRe z| log λ|k on smaller half-planes justify differentiation in the uniform norm,
so functional calculus gives operator-norm holomorphy and
∥F(z)∥≤1,
F(z + w) = F(z)F(w),
F(z)∗= F( ̄z).
(HE1)
These operators commute with spatial translations. For positive integers p, n, put B = E(1/n);
then A = Bn and E(p/n) = Bp. The scalar equality (λn)p/n = λp on the nonnegative spectrum
gives F(p/n) = E(p/n). Rational approximation, norm continuity of F and strong continuity of E
give F(t) = E(t) for every t > 0. If E(t)v = 0, the semigroup makes E(s)v = 0 for s ≥t. Analytic
uniqueness for F(z)v makes it zero throughout the half-plane; strong continuity at zero then gives
v = 0. Self-adjointness implies dense range because its orthogonal complement is the kernel. HE1
gives ∥F(r −is)v∥= ∥E(r)v∥for r > 0: both squared norms are the quadratic form of E(2r).
Hence
V (s)E(1)v = F(1 −is)v
defines an isometry on a dense range and extends uniquely. Checking there with HE1 gives
V (s)F(z) = F(z −is) = F(z)V (s),
V (s)V (t) = V (s + t),
V (0) = 1.
Thus V (s) is unitary with inverse V (−s) and commutes with spatial translations. Norm holomorphy
gives strong continuity on ran E(1); density and isometry extend it to all vectors. This recovers
the chamber real spacetime translations. The sign F(r −is) agrees with the convention ei⟨p,a⟩.
Word translation, heat powers and edge recovery.
On the source future-word carrier retain
the actual translation Tt and pull back the chamber Gram form through its word readout. It gives
exactly (OS1), the same finite-word supremum c, and the same estimate c ≤∥Xp∥.
Its null
preimage is invariant under Tt, so descent and completion produce EZ(t) = VRE(t)V −1
R , where VR
is the chamber section unitary. In particular,
∥EZ(t)VRv −EZ(u)VRv∥= ∥E(t)v −E(u)v∥,
(EZ(t))∗= EZ(t),
∥EZ(t)∥≤1.
The dense planted-word continuity and contraction approximation therefore recover strong conti-
nuity without a new heat-flow choice. Spatial translations recover by the same Gram-preserving
word operations.

For AZ = EZ(1), continuous functional calculus commutes with unitary recovery, giving
throughout Rz > 0
F Z(z) = (AZ)z = VRAzV −1
R ,
F Z(t) = EZ(t),
ker EZ(t) = VR ker E(t) = {0}
(t > 0).
Thus positivity, (HE1), holomorphy and dense range retain their source proofs and domains. Define
the edge reader initially on that dense range:
V Z(s)EZ(1)VRv = F Z(1 −is)VRv = VRF(1 −is)v.
The equal-norm identity makes this the same isometric extension as VRV (s)V −1
R . Consequently its
group law, spatial commutation, strong continuity and the sign 1 −is recover exactly the chamber
real-time edge used in the wave and spectral constructions.
Retain also the source’s explicit support proof. Suppose a finite positive measure μ, continuous
real ω and bounded function h, continuous on the closed upper half-plane and holomorphic inside,
satisfy h(t) =
R eitω(q)dμ(q) and |h(z)| ≤C. For real b and ε > 0, integrate h(z)e−ibz−εz2 around
rectangles between heights 0, s. The vertical sides vanish as their real coordinates tend to infinity,
with Gaussian bound proportional to e−εT 2. The horizontal Gaussian majorants are integrable, and

If a support point q0 had b = ω(q0) < 0, the open set U = {q : (ω(q) −b)2 < b2/4} would have
finite positive measure a. Choose s = −b/(2ε) > 0. Positivity and PA1–PA2 imply
ae−b2/(16ε) ≤
Z
e−(ω−b)2/(4ε)dμ ≤Ce−b2/(4ε).
Thus 0 < a ≤Ce−3b2/(16ε), impossible as ε ↓0. Consequently supp μ ⊂{ω ≥0}. For the chamber
diagonal translation measure take ω(q) = q0 and
h(z) = ⟨v, V (Re z)E(Im z)v⟩,
Im z ≥0.
It is continuous to the edge and bounded by ∥v∥2; inside it equals ⟨v, F(−iz)v⟩and is holomorphic.
Its edge is the characteristic function of the time marginal. This proves nonnegative time support
and, with SP1, completes SP2.
The lifted heat object retains A, the continuous functional calculus, the dense range and the
diagonal finite measures. Its complex-power readout recovers E(t) on the positive axis and the
uniquely extended unitary edge on the dense range. The Gaussian test reader PA2 retains positivity
and the numerical exponents needed for support recovery; attachment then transports these very
measures to the field space.

For the chamber section unitary VR, the retained diagonal

μZ(U)e−b2/(16ε) ≤GZ
b,ε ≤Ce−b2/(4ε).
The set U and its positive measure are unchanged under the diagonal measure reader. The source
thus recovers the same contradiction as ε ↓0, and the same nonnegative-time support for the actual
chamber translation measure. With the retained attachment and Lorentz pushforward it recovers
(SP2). The Gaussian test operation changes neither the spectral convention nor the zero-energy
atom.

Ground compression and the component probability space
In the unselected chamber let H0 be the heat-fixed space, with projection P0. Retain the compressed
slab operators
m(w, d) = P0 place(d, w)|H0.
Their norm-closed unital star algebra is A. With the commutativity and countable norm density
established below, this is a separable commutative C∗-algebra. Its compact character space Θ is
metrizable: for a dense sequence ak ∈A, χ 7→(χ(ak))k is a continuous injection into a countable
product of complex planes. Equality there extends by continuity from the dense sequence to every
algebra element; compactness makes the injection an embedding. Gelfand representation and the
measure representation of the vacuum positive functional give
⟨Ω0, aΩ0⟩=
Z
Θ
χ(a) dν(χ),
ν(Θ) = 1.
(PH1)
The measure has full support.
Indeed the compression identity below makes Ω0 cyclic.
In a
commutative algebra cyclicity implies separation: aΩ0 = 0 implies abΩ0 = baΩ0 = 0 on a dense
set and hence a = 0. A nonempty open null set would support a nonzero continuous bump whose
squared integral is zero. Its represented operator would annihilate Ω0, contradicting separation.
Compression of a distinct word is independent of slab placement. Increasing the width adds
heat on the right, fixing the ground input; increasing the initial time adds heat on the left, removed
by P0. Spatial translations disappear on both sides by spatial invariance of ground vectors, proved
below. Compare two placements to cover positive or negative common time shifts. Write this
element M(w) and set
Sχ(w) = χ(M(w)).
(PH2)
For a future word b, its ground-input slab insertion Xb : H0 →H is independent of trailing width,
and slab concatenation with the reflected adjoint gives
XbΩ0 = [b],
M(b)Ω0 = P0[b],
M(b∗c) = X∗

The component hierarchies and their regularity use these same compression elements, not arbitrary
disintegrated point readings.
For a future word in a component chamber put aχ = P0,χ[b]χ. The heat limit gives
∥aχ∥2 = lim
s→∞∥Eχ(s)[b]χ∥2.
Take integer s.
Each prelimit is a continuous character reading of a reflected translated word
and is bounded by its s = 0 value, a continuous integrable function on compact Θ. Dominated

|Sχ(b)|2dν = ∥M(b)Ω0∥2 = ∥P0[b]∥2.
Since ⟨Ω0,χ, aχ⟩= Sχ(b) and the vacuum has unit norm,
∥aχ −Sχ(b)Ω0,χ∥2 = ∥aχ∥2 −|Sχ(b)|2 ≥0.
Its integral is zero, so it vanishes almost everywhere for this word. The countable probe construction
supplies one sequence of future words whose planted spans are dense in every component chamber.
Intersect their countably many full-measure sets. For each remaining character, all these ground
projections lie in the vacuum line; their projected span is dense in the ground space. The line
is closed, so the heat-fixed space equals it. This supplies an admissible selected character. The
earlier full-support continuity argument upgrades the corresponding final reconstructed uniqueness
statement to every character.
For the source lift retain the complete compression algebra and its vacuum state before taking
any character. The realization is its concrete action on H0; observable readers are the characters
and their barycenter PH1. Gelfand representation recovers every algebra element from all character
readings. PH3 recovers the planted Gram kernel, and PH4 recovers the unselected hierarchy from
the probability space. A single character generally loses the other components; that loss is explicit
and is reversed only by retaining the whole character family and its measure.

probe words preserves density in every component and recovers the almost-everywhere heat-fixed
vacuum line, with the later every-character upgrade kept as its separate step.

Spatial ground invariance and compressed commutativity
Positive contraction spectral calculus gives P0 = limt→∞E(t) strongly: integer powers of E(1)
converge to 1{1}(E(1)) by dominated convergence, and the semigroup and contraction bounds
cover general times. Its range is exactly the common heat-fixed space. For two distinct Euclidean
words p, q, reflection and placement in the positive half-space give, for large enough x0, fixed vectors
v, w and offsets r, s with
S(p τxq) = ⟨v, U(x)E(x0 −r −s)w⟩.
(GI1)
Along any sequence x0 →∞, a fixed temporal displacement changes this by a quantity tending
to zero. Both heat vectors converge to P0w, and the possibly varying spatial unitaries preserve
the norm of their difference. For fixed b with b0 > 0, choose a Euclidean orthogonal transforma-
tion sending b to ∥b∥e0 and sending e0 to a vector with positive time component. Reflection in
the bisecting hyperplane between b and ∥b∥e0 does this, with the positive component following
from preservation of their inner product. Rotate the words and displacements; the rotated large
separation still has time tending to infinity. The temporal comparison and covariance give
S(p τte0+bq) −S(p τte0q) −→0.
(GI2)
For spatial a, apply GI2 to b = a + e0 and subtract the temporal comparison adding e0 to a + te0.
Taking heat limits in GI1 yields ⟨v, U(a)P0w⟩= ⟨v, P0w⟩. Density gives U(a)P0 = P0. Spatial
invariance was not assumed in comparing the varying large separations.

The error is at most ∥vN −v∥+ ∥E(tN)v −P0v∥, by contractivity and spatial ground invariance.
Between successive cluster insertions there is a heat duration tending to infinity and an arbitrary
spatial translation. Vacuum pairing finishes the induction. Large separations also ensure eventual
distinctness of the combined configuration.
For four clusters a, b, c, d, choose time/spatial slopes (0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3) and multiply by N.
Their time order is a, b, c, d; interchanging the two Euclidean axes changes it to a, c, b, d. Finite-N

permutation symmetry and covariance equate the expectations. Apply GI3. Remove the simul-
taneous rotation by a second GI3 application with all four clusters along e0 + e1, whose order is
unchanged by the interchange. Thus
⟨Ω0, M(a)M(b)M(c)M(d)Ω0⟩= ⟨Ω0, M(a)M(c)M(b)M(d)Ω0⟩.
(GI4)
Take the exterior words as a reflected reversed future probe and another future probe. PH3 and
the adjoint identity turn GI4 into equal matrix elements of M(b)M(c) and M(c)M(b) on the
dense projected future-word span. These bounded operators are equal. Slab reflection makes the
generators closed under adjoints; hence star polynomials commute, and norm continuity extends
commutativity to A. This is the actual algebra used by PH1, not a separately selected commutative
replacement. The Ground/Lean, Moments and Permute procedures thus supply spatial invariance,
arbitrary transverse cluster-train convergence and the four-slope exchange. The four-cluster con-
struction proves the needed exchange of two compressed factors.
The resulting spatial ground
invariance, cluster limit and commutative compression algebra will now supply one compact phase
space and one countable family of future probes for all its characters. Norm-separable generators
and the character hierarchy are supplied by the Work/B and Cells constructions below.
Ground-limit and ordered cluster-product recovery.
For the chamber unitary VR and its
ground restriction V0, the strong heat limit and spatial action recover as
P Z
0 = VRP0V −1
R ,
UZ(a)P Z
0 = VRU(a)P0V −1
R
= P Z
0 .
The last equality is read only after the retained GI1–GI2 comparison establishes spatial invariance.
Before that comparison, the source reader preserves exactly the varying-unitary norm bound on
the difference of the two heat vectors; it imposes no invariance premise. For the backwards cluster
induction, set vZ
N = VRvN and vZ = VRv. The quantitative reader is
∥UZ(aN)EZ(tN)vZ
N −P Z
0 vZ∥≤∥vN −v∥+ ∥E(tN)v −P0v∥−→0.
Consequently every fixed bounded cluster insertion and vacuum pairing recover the same ordered
GI3 product, even for arbitrary transverse displacements.
Using α(a) = V0aV −1
0
on the compression algebra, the four-slope reader preserves the exact
order of all four factors and gives
⟨ΩZ
0 , α(M(a))[α(M(b)), α(M(c))]α(M(d))ΩZ
0 ⟩= 0.
The exterior projected future probes remain dense under V0, so their matrix elements recover the
zero commutator of the two actual bounded compressed generators. Adjoint recovery and norm
closure then give
[α(A), α(B)] = α([A, B]) = 0,
A, B ∈A.
This retains the original compression algebra, its four-slope limit and its spatial-ground dependency,
and supplies the commutativity used in the character-probability construction.

A common countable probe family and character positivity
For every arity n and degree tuple d = (d1, . . . , dn), the parameter space of distinct positive-half-
space positions and raw coefficient vectors in those finite-dimensional degree spaces is separable
metrizable. Choose a countable dense subset in each. Countably many n, d, together with the

empty word, give one countable list before any character chamber is chosen.
In every smooth
symmetric reflection-positive hierarchy its planted-vector map on each parameter space is norm-
continuous: the Gram pairing is the hierarchy on the reflected joined configurations, which remain
distinct because the blocks lie on opposite sides of the plane. Fixed-basis expansion makes coefficient
dependence a finite sum of continuous products and smooth fixed-label readings; adjoint coefficients
are continuous too. Diagonal and mixed pairings are continuous, hence the squared norm difference
is continuous. Every future word is approximated from its parameter subset; the full future-word
span is dense.
The same countable list therefore spans densely in every component chamber,
justifying exactly the simultaneous countable intersection above.
At a distinct configuration the component moment is
Sχ,d(X; v) = χ(md(X; v)).
(CH1)
Outside that set use the specified zero extension. Here md is the same whole-word compression
M(w) of PH2. Permutation, unit insertion, common translation, adjoint and quotient-label iden-
tities pass through χ; individual rotation and reflection identities pass once proved for these same
elements. For smoothness, extend the bounded character from the closed compression subspace to
the ambient bounded-operator space by the norm-preserving extension theorem. Composition with
the smooth ambient operator-valued moment is smooth and agrees with CH1 on the compression
subspace. No differentiability structure on the character space is imposed. Reflection positivity
follows by applying χ to one positive quadratic expression. For finitely many future words bi and
scalars ci, set F = P
i ciXbi. PH3 gives
a =
X
i,j
cicjM(b∗
i bj),
a|H0 = F ∗F.
This is positive in the ambient operator algebra. Spectral permanence of the closed unital C∗-
subalgebra makes its spectrum in A nonnegative. Since χ(a) belongs to that spectrum, it is real
and nonnegative. Linearity gives the component reflection-positive Gram sum at every character,
without an exceptional set.
In the source lift, md is retained before any character operation.
The bounded linear reader transports smoothness; the positive algebra element transports Gram
positivity.
All character readings together recover the compression element, while the retained
common probes recover the completed chamber separately at each phase.
Common-probe and positive character recovery.
Retain one countable dense parameter
subset for each (n, d) before choosing a phase. Its realized probe words bk are lifted by the same
word map in every chamber. For a parameter limit bkr →b in a fixed parameter space and its
phase section Vχ, the norm reader is
∥[bkr]Z
h(χ) −[b]Z
h(χ)∥= ∥[bkr]χ −[b]χ∥−→0.
The limit follows from the retained diagonal and mixed smooth Gram readings. Thus the same
enumerated list recovers dense span in every phase; the parameter approximation may depend on
the word but the probe list does not depend on the phase.
For the compression star isomorphism α and character map h, set mZ
d (X; v) = α(md(X; v)).
The whole-word reader gives
h(χ)(mZ
d (X; v)) = χ(md(X; v)) = Sχ,d(X; v).

The zero extension and all finite-label identities are retained before this scalar reading. For the
finite Gram sum a = F ∗F on ground inputs, its source element satisfies
aZ = α(a) = (F Z)∗F Z,
X
i,j
cicjh(χ)(MZ(b∗
i bj)) = χ(a) ≥0.
The ambient positive operator, its spectrum in the closed compression algebra and its character
value therefore recover together, at every character. Smoothness uses the same norm-preserving
bounded-functional extension composed with the actual smooth ambient moment. The extension is
used for that differentiation argument only; all moment readings remain on the retained compression
subspace.
19.39
Compression-valued multilinearity, separability and common bounds
The derivative-label identity is retained in its prescribed form:
∂Xa
i DjSχ,v = DjSχ,v[i←∂avi].
It follows for iterated derivatives by differentiating the local identity at distinct configurations.
If every fixed-label reading has bound Cr−A, induction supplies such a bound for every fixed
derivative order. Bound the norm of a linear map on joint position space by the sum of its values’
norms on coordinate unit vectors; at each step take the maximum of the finitely many replacement-
label exponents and the sum of their constants.
For 0 < r ≤1 that maximum bounds every
term. Quotient compatibility transfers this to raw component labels. Constants depend on fixed
arity, labels and order; no uniformity in those data is added. The following subsections construct
the compression-valued moments, prove norm separability and individual Euclidean invariance, and
transfer the derivative and shell identities. These supply the premises used in the character formulas
above.
Fix a distinct configuration, a translation and a strict containing slab. The same choices work
on a neighborhood, and for every coefficient vector of each fixed label degree.
A slab matrix
element between future spectators p, q is the hierarchy of the reflected left word, the inserted
slab word and translated right word; all positions are distinct. Move one insertion to the front by
permutation. Its reading is an exterior-field functional with these actual spectators; the all-spectator
null quotient makes it linear in the projected label and independent of its representative. Dense
future-word spans on both sides then identify the bounded slab operators themselves. Bounded
linear compression preserves this identity. Repeat at every slot to prove multilinearity of md(X; v),
and replace labels one at a time to prove equality for equal projected tuples.
Zero extension
offdistinct configurations preserves these identities. The same matrix-element argument proves
permutation and unit deletion before compression. The empty compressed word is the identity
because its heat evolution fixes ground inputs. Slab reflection gives the adjoint, and placement
independence gives common translation. These structural identities precede character evaluation
and do not assume commutativity. Locally the moment is exactly
X 7−→P0 place(d, τsw(X))|H0.
Slab regularity at fixed d, smooth position translation and bounded linear compression give operator-
norm smoothness. Move any chosen slot to the front to obtain this result at every slot. Placement
independence identifies these local functions with the canonical moment everywhere on the distinct
set.

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

For each arity and degree tuple fix basis labels in each slot. The distinct configuration space is
separable, and its norm-continuous moment image is separable in operator norm. The countable
union over basis tuples, degrees and arities is separable; multilinearity puts all compressed words
in its complex span. Continuity of multiplication makes finite products separable, with countable
union over lengths. Adjoints, finite complex linear combinations and norm closure preserve sepa-
rability and generate precisely A. This proves the countable norm density used in character-space
metrizability. Characters obey |χ(a)| ≤∥a∥. Translate any word of separation r ∈(0, 1] into a
slab padded by one unit on both sides, preserving r. Compression cannot increase norm. The
unselected arbitrary-copy slab estimate therefore gives the same copy constants uniformly over
characters and receiving hierarchies with the specified word values. For fixed arity n, bounded
degrees and coefficient norms it reads
|Sχ,d(X; v)| ≤KnnBnr−Bn,
with the source’s empty-word convention.
This is the scalar bound required by the derivative
induction. It comes from the whole-word operator norm; character evaluation introduces no further
constants. The lifted moment source retains the local slab, both actual spectator slots and quotient
representatives. Equality of their dense matrix elements recovers the bounded operator, and its
norm-continuous compression recovers md. Thus multilinearity, null-label deletion, smoothness and
phase-uniform bounds are operations of the same source object rather than independently assigned
scalar properties.
Local moment, separability and bound recovery.
For a fixed local containing slab write
Ad(X; v) = place(d, τsw(X; v)). With chamber and ground sections VR, V0, its lifted operator is
AZ
d = VRAdV −1
R . The compressed moment is therefore
mZ
d (X; v) = P Z
0 AZ
d (X; v)|HZ
0 = V0md(X; v)V −1
0
= α(md(X; v)).
The two actual spectator slots recover every matrix element before compression.
Hence their
equality preserves the projected-label multilinearity and all structural word identities in the stated
order. Since α is fixed bounded linear and isometric, local norm smoothness recovers for every
positional derivative:
Dj
XmZ
d = α(Dj
Xmd),
∥mZ
d (X; v) −mZ
d (Y ; v)∥= ∥md(X; v) −md(Y ; v)∥.
The source moment consequently has the same separable norm images. Choose countable dense
subsets of those images and form finite star words and finite linear combinations with rational real
and imaginary coefficients. Their countable collection is norm dense in the generated algebra, and
its image under α is dense in AZ. This explicitly recovers the countable norm-dense sequence from
the same compressed generators.
Finally the unchanged padded slab and isometric compression reader give
|h(χ)(mZ
d (X; v))| ≤∥mZ
d (X; v)∥= ∥md(X; v)∥≤∥Ad(X; v)∥.
The source arbitrary-copy bill thus supplies exactly the stated KnnBnr−Bn character bound with
its fixed-data and empty-word conventions. There is no extra character-dependent constant in this
recovery or in the subsequent fixed-order derivative induction.

Reflection squares and individual Euclidean invariance
For a generic grid word w with real coefficient labels, write wθ for its geometrically time-reflected
word with reflected labels, and put
D = M(w) −M(wθ),
a = Re⟨Ω0, D2Ω0⟩.
The grid construction supplies real measurable approximants f(k)
i
to widely translated copies of
this difference, with |f(k)
i
| ≤Rk and pair errors at most εk →0. Fix k, a finite q + 1 copies and
their displacement parameter before the ordered mesh/volume limit.
Each difference-product’s
four terms converge to the continuum two-cluster readings. Then send displacement to infinity;
GI3 makes every off-diagonal comparison tend to a + εk. The ordinary real square at finite lattice
parameters gives

(RS1)
The second inequality follows after bounding diagonals and paired off-diagonals and taking limits
in that order. At each q finitely many eventual pair tails can be intersected. If a + εk < 0, large q
contradicts RS1; hence a ≥0. Real-label adjoint and permutation identities give D∗= −D, so
∥DΩ0∥2 = −Re⟨Ω0, D2Ω0⟩= −a.
Nonnegativity forces DΩ0 = 0, and the separating vacuum gives D = 0. Approximate a fixed
generic configuration by canonical addresses in increasingly fine grids from the common funded
sequence. Norm continuity gives equality there. Generic configurations have full measure in the
distinct region; continuity and full support of Lebesgue measure extend equality throughout it. Ex-
pand multilinearly in real coordinate basis labels fixed by coefficient conjugation to cover arbitrary
complex labels. Thus individual time reflection fixes each compressed observable.
GI3 gives simultaneous rotation invariance of pair stages ⟨Ω0, M(p)M(q)Ω0⟩. If an orthogonal
r sends e0 to positive time component, escape along e0; if that component is zero, escape along e0 +
r−1e0, positive in time before and after rotation. If negative, first compose with time reflection and
remove it afterwards by the individual invariance just proved. These three cases prove simultaneous
pair invariance for every Euclidean orthogonal map. Now rotate a pair by r−1, reflect only its second
factor, and rotate back. Its second factor changes by rθr−1 while all pair readings stay equal. Test
with the adjoint words of that factor and its transformed copy: the Gram identity gives zero norm
for their vacuum-vector difference, and separation gives equality of the elements. Every hyperplane
reflection is such a conjugate (zero normal is the trivial case), and orthogonal maps are finite
products of hyperplane reflections. The label representation law therefore gives
M(r · w) = M(w)
(r ∈O(4)).
The lifted source retains the bounded Wilson approximants, copy counts, pair tolerances and or-
dered limits. Its square reader RS1 recovers individual reflection before the pair-stage rotation
reader recovers individual orthogonal invariance. Character evaluation thus uses the same whole-
word operators throughout.

All pair-error bills and finite intersections of eventual tails are therefore preserved. Keep k, q and
displacement fixed through the ordered inner mesh and outer volume limits, then take the large
separation limit. The source square reader recovers exactly (RS1). For each k, if a + εk < 0, any
integer q > R2
k/[−(a + εk)] contradicts that inequality. Only afterwards is k →∞taken to recover
a ≥0.
For DZ = α(D) the compressed algebra reader satisfies
(DZ)∗= −DZ,
∥DZΩZ

0 ⟩= −a.
The separating vacuum and the isomorphism α recover DZ = 0 and D = 0. Grid-address approx-
imation, norm continuity and multilinear real-basis expansion are unchanged under this isometric
map. Likewise each pair-stage rotation and conjugated reflection reads the same matrix elements,
so the zero vacuum-vector difference recovers the same compressed element. Finite reflection gen-
eration then gives
MZ(r · w) = α(M(r · w)) = α(M(w)) = MZ(w).
This establishes individual Euclidean invariance under the same reflection-square and whole-word
pair-stage operations used by the component character readers.
19.41
Derivative and stress-window inheritance at every character
Fix T = Sχ. Extend χ only as a bounded complex-linear functional to all ground-space operators
and compose with compression.
This yields a single bounded linear functional φ on chamber
operators with
S useAt T(X; v) = φ
 place(D, τsw(X; v))
.
(HW1)
No positivity or multiplicativity is required of this extension outside A. One common s, D contains
a finite configuration and any compact insertion set with strict time margins, persisting on a neigh-
borhood. Pairing with arbitrary actual future spectators proves the all-spectator inclusion identity
for the slab operator; applying φ gives component inclusion compatibility. Norm differentiation at
fixed width and shift gives
∂Xa
i place(D, τsw(X; v)) = place(D, τsw(X; v[i ←∂avi])).
The common translation has identity position derivative. Passing this through bounded φ proves
the derivative identity used above.
Let χ0 be a compact smooth window constant near the distinguished insertion and zero near
every spectator. Contain its entire closed support in that same slab. For continuous scalar u put
Ia,u =
Z
(∂aχ0)(y)u(y) place(D, τsw(y, X)) dy.
(HW2)
This is a norm-integrable operator integral. The scalar factor has compact support disjoint from all
collision points: its derivative vanishes near the distinguished point and the window vanishes near
spectators. The insertion is norm-smooth there. Offthat support the complete integrand is locally
zero, regardless of an arbitrary bare collision convention; hence the full integrand is continuous
and compactly supported. Pair with two arbitrary future-word vectors. Their additional exterior
spectators are strictly outside the slab and entire window. Apply the original stress-window identity
with these actual spectators, pass the bounded matrix-element functional through the integral and

Z
(∂aχ0)(y)[g(y −X0)]bT(Tab(y), B(X0), v(Xsp)) dy

(HW4)
The degree-four stress label, generator labels and geometric window are unchanged. The lifted
source retains the actual operator integral and exterior spectators; its bounded linear character
extension commutes with derivatives and this norm integral. It therefore recovers both stress laws
at every character with the original window and label data.
One bounded functional for derivative and window recovery.
Let eχ be the source’s chosen
bounded linear extension on ground-space operators. Define
φ(A) = eχ(P0A|H0),
φZ(AZ) = φ(V −1
R AZVR).
This retains one extension for the fixed character and gives ∥φZ∥= ∥φ∥. On an actual compressed
moment it recovers the character reading; outside the compression algebra only bounded complex
linearity is used. For the common locally fixed slab and shift,
φZ(∂Xa
i AZ(X)) = ∂Xa
i φ(A(X)),
AZ(X) = VRA(X)V −1
R .
Thus inclusion and derivative-label recovery use the same actual spectator-tested slab identity
before scalar evaluation.
Keep the compact window, continuous weight and its entire support in that same slab. For its
full norm-integrable operator integrand Ja,u(y), unitary conjugation preserves both the collision-free
support and the local zero extension. Hence

a,u =
Z
VRJa,u(y)V −1
R
dy = VRIa,uV −1
R ,
φZ(IZ
a,u) =
Z
φ(Ja,u(y)) dy.
Bounded matrix-element readers commute with this same integral and retain the actual exterior
spectators outside the slab. Their dense pairings therefore recover the operator stress identity first.
The bounded scalar reader then recovers (HW3)–(HW4), including their minus signs, the weight
[g(y−X0)]b and the unchanged degree-four stress and generator labels. No multiplicative or positive
extension premise is added to this derivative-and-integral passage.
19.42
Smeared positivity and bounded reflection witnesses
A signed coordinate permutation taking a chosen axis to time intertwines its word reflection with
the temporal reflection, preserves the positive side and preserves readings by real-spin covariance. It
transports the complete finite point Gram sum to every coordinate plane. For joint tests fix such an
axis and its positive future-word Gram Hilbert space. For compact f supported on positive mutually
distinct configurations set ζf(X) = f(X)[w(X)] there and zero elsewhere. Smooth diagonal and
mixed smeared Gram kernels are continuous, also across the cutoffsupport boundary. Expanding

Every finite smeared positivity sum is thus a squared norm. This constructs joint-test positivity
directly from the point kernel, without assuming a full hierarchy in order to prove one of its clauses.
For a real observable O with bounded local complex approximant O′ of rooted discrepancy at
most ε and |O′| ≤A, use Re O′. Indeed
Re O′ −O = 1
2(O′ −O) + 1
2(O′ −O).
Subadditivity, homogeneity and conjugation invariance of the rooted seminorm preserve the error
bound. Measurability and locality persist, and | Re O′| ≤A. The actual cutoffobservable need
not itself be uniformly bounded. For a fixed finite degree-bounded label list, form products of
these real local approximants at the translated lattice sites. The product comparison applies to the
concatenated two-cluster list. For distinct integer displacement slopes i < j, the relevant coordinate
difference has a fixed part plus t(j −i); clusters are eventually disjoint. Wrapping remains injective
on the period tail. The same extraction order therefore controls all four ordinary/reflected cluster
combinations. If their product approximants are f(k)

All four integrals exist by local approximant estimates and finite lattice moment bounds. This is
precisely the common witness family used in the finite-square argument. Fix the approximation
index and number of copies, retain the prescribed ordered mesh/period limits and then the large-
displacement comparison as in RS1. The approximants are obtained by fixing reporting scale and
finite atlas, choosing a sufficiently late auxiliary scale, and transferring the local estimates back to
the original mesh and period tails on the same chamber. The following gain-chart estimates supply
this choice quantitatively.

Thus the retained rooted seminorm laws give the same error bound after real-part extraction.
Measurability, local physical read sets and the uniform approximant bound are retained. Product
and subtraction readers then recover every real reflection witness and its four-term pair expansion
before integration. Normalized measure pushforward gives identical four integrals, with exactly
the summed bill ck(A00 + A01 + A10 + A11). The finite-copy tails, eventual unwrapped separation
and period wrapping injectivity are the original physical conditions read through the same local
configuration maps. Hence the source witnesses recover the family used by (RS1), with the reporting
scale and atlas fixed before the late auxiliary scale and with the stated subsequent cutoffand
separation order.

Coarse lenses, coefficient inversion and rooted approximation
At coarse scale k the local lens is the explicit function
Lk,L(U) = akL1 + 1Healthy(θk,F)Ck,L(U).
(AP1)
Here ak is field scaling, L1 the constant coefficient, F the stencil footprint and Ck,L the scaled
nonconstant candidate polynomial. All other regular activity terms of the primary lens are zero in
this specialization. On the healthy compact chart the candidate is bounded by Ak,L uniformly in
finer terminal cutoffand period; outside it the product is zero. The lens bound is |akL1|+Ak,L. Its
read set lies in the coarse window of stencil radius plus four, since every inspected edge is within
four sites of a stencil point. For recovered coefficient columns Jbi assume |ei −Jbi|1 ≤1/4 for every
coordinate basis vector, and set Av = P
i viJbi. Expansion and the triangle inequality give
|v −Av|1 ≤1
4|v|1,
|v|1 ≤2|Av|1.

Thus A is injective and, in equal finite dimensions, onto. Solve for a terminal label L and use
injectivity of J to recover

The last bound is the backward coefficient budget. Each basis lens back-lifted to the fine lattice
approximates its recovered terminal observable with common rooted error stakesJ,m/w. The AP3
linear combination B therefore obeys
∥B∥∞≤stockk(L)Ak,
∥B −OL∥root ≤stockk(L)stakesJ,m
w
.
(AP4)
Back transport preserves the sup bound and the atlas room condition puts its read set in the
common fine chamber. The exact terminal label decomposition, subadditivity and homogeneity
give the rooted bound for this same B. For the basis bound insert separated atlas copies of the
difference, with a compulsory mark on each, and extract the coefficient containing every copy once.
Exact RG transport preserves its Wilson integral. For q atlas cells and discrepancy moment M,
insertion estimates give
|M|wq ≤eqc,
c = (aJ/am)4treasurym + 5.
The scale power comes from the exact cell census; the five units are the insertion and vault costs.
The qth root gives ec/w = stakesJ,m/w. The coefficient identity cancels the same positive Wilson
partition function, preserving normalization. The admissible mark price satisfies
w|am|4(1 + columnsk)
gainChart(k, m) ≤1

Fix J, m, d first and choose w at this upper value. AP4’s error is a fixed constant times stock and
column factors divided by the gain chart. Their growth is subexponential, while the inverse gain
chart contains the strictly decaying scale factor, so the product tends to zero. A late enough k also
meets atlas room and any prescribed positive error tolerance. Once fixed, its sup bound is uniform
on all later mesh and period parameters. Taking the real part then gives the real witnesses used
by RS1.
The lifted approximation source retains the healthy mask, candidate coefficients, inversion
columns, atlas, all-copy mark and common partition function. Its local reader is AP1, its coef-
ficient reader is AP3, and its rooted reader is the normalized all-copy extraction.
AP2 proves
coefficient recovery and AP4 controls observable recovery with its explicit error. The finite coarse
lens loses the residual observable only to that bounded error; retaining the transported discrepancy
and paid mark restores the exact comparison, as below.

The framed local lens is the actual pull-

Its healthy predicate and candidate are read through the same map, so the bound |akL1| + Ak,L
and coarse physical read window are preserved. No unmasked polynomial value is used outside the
healthy region.
For the finite coefficient system in (AP2), set E = I −A on its physical coordinate space. The

This preserves the source’s looser inverse bound 2 in (AP2)–(AP3). On the horizontal coefficient
carrier jdEd the system is AZ = jdApd with inverse jdA−1pd, so its solution recovers exactly the
same vi and terminal-label decomposition. The source fine approximant is then BZ = B ◦π, with
the same AP4 sup bound.

The compulsory all-copy coefficient, exact RG identity and common positive Wilson denominator
are retained in this reader before its qth root is taken. Hence the rooted error bound, cell-census
factor, mark price (AP5) and stock bill are unchanged. The reporting data are fixed first; the same
late auxiliary scale and atlas room condition then recover the prescribed tolerance for this very
local B, with its sup bound uniform on subsequent mesh and period tails.

The paid discrepancy history and backward cone
The AP4 comparison uses one common history. Starting with primary coefficient L at k, backward
coefficient construction chooses a reference b and residual history Zi for m ≤i ≤k, with
exp(Zk) = exp(primary L) + exp(history(−b)),
forced(Zk) = forced(history(−b)).
(AP6)
363


## Source page 367

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

These are exact evaluated-entry and forced-profile identities by linearity and reference cancellation;
the primary has no forced profile here. Its residual coefficient is L −Jkb, bounded by Q/4 by the
backward cone; the terminal/reference coefficient is bounded by 2E. At intermediate scales,
cost(Zi) + |Zcoeff
i
|1 ≤E/gainChart(k, i).
Transport the mark price w at m by the same multiplicative schedule. The scalar reserve recurrence
and AP5 bound the transported price times scaled residual cost by ζd,i/2 throughout the interval.
The reference contribution at k is paid by the other half-reserve, using 2E. At each atlas copy
insert the negative terminal reference observable; transport its marked polynomial exactly from N
to k and multiply by the coarse lens insertion there. AP6 identifies its first marked and forced
slots with the residual slots. Paid transport carries them from k to m with the same migrating
positions; the atlas supplies separation and occupancy at every scale.
At m the served-source
support exponent and vault bounds 2, 1 follow from the same residual estimates. Neither history
nor mark schedule is reselected. For a finite census the new coarse factors are Q
i(1 + ziQi). A
multi-index coefficient is the subset sum over slots taken from these factors, all others supplied by
the transported negative fine observable. Finite coefficient extraction commutes with every RG
push by linearity and integrability. This sum is exactly the joint fine/coarse difference polynomial.
Integration of the push preserves its integral; restoration of the coupling gives the positive Wilson
partition function times the discrepancy moment. Thus the root extraction compares this actual
local difference in its original normalization.
Exact paid-discrepancy coefficient recovery.
Retain the one reference label b, residual his-
tories Zi, migrating copy positions and transported mark prices as one source record. At scale k,
apply the coefficientwise configuration reader L to the evaluated entries in (AP6). It gives the
exact identities
L exp(Zk) = L exp(primary L)+L exp(history(−b)),
L forced(Zk) = L forced(history(−b)).
Here exp denotes the source’s evaluated entry; its stated linear identity is retained as such. The
same coefficient section preserves L −Jkb, its Q/4 bound and the reference 2E bill. Residual cost
and mark prices are read from the retained history, so the two half-reserves and the scale-m vault
bills remain the original ones throughout the paid transport.
For the all-copy coefficient on a finite set A, write N(z) for the transported negative-fine inser-
tion polynomial. The exact finite coefficient reader is

This is the square-free all-copy instance of the source’s general multi-index rule. Finite coefficient
extraction and configuration pullback commute term by term; every RG push commutes with it
by the same linear integral identity. Restoring the coupling thus recovers the same positive Wilson
partition function times the actual fine/coarse discrepancy moment. Section restriction recovers
the finite polynomial itself, including both primary and forced slots.
The support, occupancy,
mark schedule and normalization in the rooted estimate therefore belong to this one transported
discrepancy.
Here is the quantitative backward cone. In the coefficient norm including the unit coordinate,
a step of size L has q = L1/8, e = q−3 and
yα = Ld−deg αvα,
Y = |y|1,
|v|1 ≤Y.

The step’s invertible B commutes with deletion of the unit coordinate, with ∥B∥1, ∥B−1∥1 ≤K,

Consequently

For column allowance Ci ≥1 put ai = 32(1 + Ci)2. Room and bank choices imply
ai ≥4K2,
4Ke ≤1,
4Kai+1e ≤1,
(4K2 + 1)qe ≤1.
(AP8)
Explicitly the bank requires q ≥100000M6(1 + Ci+1)2, with neighboring price bound M ≥K. It
implies q ≥128K2(1 + Ci+1)2 ≥1; use e ≤q−1 and qe ≤q−1 for the last three bounds. Room
Ci ≥64K2 and monotonicity of stage prices give the first. If ai|u|1 ≤r, AP7 gives 4K|u|1 ≤Y +et.
Substitution in AP7 and absorption using AP8 give Y ≤4Ket. Thus
ai+1|v|1 ≤ai+1Y ≤t,
qr ≤q(KY + et) ≤t.
(AP9)
The e = 0 case follows directly as well. The coefficient/remainder cone propagates coarse to fine,
with the opposite-direction remainder gain q. The first smallness inequality in (AP8) absorbs the
resulting Y -term and gives Y ≤4Ket.
Construct the matched history by finite backward induction from the terminal formatted in-
sertion and remainder bound. At each step use the same marked transport and linear coefficient
decomposition, updating only the newly reached component while retaining all earlier components
and identities. Its terminal density is exactly the prescribed insertion plus the reference history.
Subtract the reference coefficient determined at the coarsest endpoint: linearity makes the residual
coefficient there zero and preserves all density/step identities. Its nonnegative cost therefore starts
in the cone. This is why the cone applies to the residual history, not to an arbitrary primary one.
For costs ci and residual coefficients vi on [l, k], iterate AP9:
ai|vi|1 ≤ci,
gainChart(k, i)ci ≤ck,
gainChart(k, i) = exp
(scale(k) −scale(i))/8
.
(AP10)
The recursion is gainChart(k, i) = gainChart(k, i + 1)L1/8
i
.
The terminal pairing bound ck ≤
(1 + Ck)w + Ck|vk|1 and cone inequality 2Ck|vk|1 ≤ck give ck ≤2(1 + Ck)w. Since |vi|1 ≤ci, this
proves
gainChart(k, i)(ci + |vi|1) ≤4(1 + Ck)w.
(AP11)
The approximation constant E is this terminal bound with its fixed coefficient and stock factors.
Choose column allowances above room thresholds, and block lower bounds so L1/8 exceeds the bank
threshold, before selecting any history or volume. Larger block bounds or later delays preserve the
choice.
AP6–AP11, paid transport and root extraction therefore construct the bounded local
approximants on the original common family.
The lifted discrepancy source retains each component and step identity of this matched history,
together with its paid price schedule and finite subset-coefficient polynomial. Coefficient extraction
is its observable reader; commutation with the exact push proves recovery of the original discrepancy
moment. AP9–AP11 give a quantitative reader bound without discarding the residual or its unit
coordinate.
Thus the local approximation, the real reflection witness and its common Wilson
normalization are recovered from one source history.

Backward-cone and matched-history recovery.
Use coefficient section and recovery ji, pi at
each scale, retaining all coordinates including the unit. Put bv = ji+1v, by = ji+1y, bu = jiu, and use
section norms. The diagonal scaling reader and step map are
yα = Ld−deg αvα,
BZ = jiBpi+1,
piBZji+1 = B.
Core deletion is transported with these same sections. Thus its commutation with B, the inverse
bound K, and both one-step coefficient/remainder inequalities recover (AP7) exactly. For clarity
the source’s absorption in the cone can be read as
Y ≤1
4(Y + et) + KeY + Ket ≤1
2Y + (K + 1
4)et,
Y ≤4Ket,
using 4Ke ≤1 and K ≥1. The remaining (AP8) bills then recover both conclusions (AP9) with
the same direction and factor q.
A source history is the full finite tuple of coefficient components, remainders and step identities.
Its readout applies pi componentwise and leaves the recorded nonnegative costs and bank prices
fixed.
At each backward-induction step only the newly reached component is changed, so this
reader commutes with the finite induction. Subtraction of the same reference history recovers the
zero coarse residual coefficient before initiating the cone estimate. Consequently its iterated source
bounds are precisely
ai∥bvi∥1 ≤ci,
gainChart(k, i)(ci + ∥bvi∥1) ≤4(1 + Ck)w.
The gain-chart product telescopes by the same scale identity (AP10). Thus the original terminal
pairing bound, unit coordinate, room and bank choices, and history-before-volume quantifiers all
recover through one matched tuple; no arbitrary primary history is substituted for the residual
history in this cone argument.

Separated and nested operator products
A finite reader used consistently in every product.
Operator-product coefficients are ex-
tracted with one homogeneous coefficient reader, chosen compatibly with the degree filtration, real-
ity and rotations. A truncation retains finitely many channels and an explicitly bounded remainder.
Recovery therefore means equality of the retained coefficients and of the tested replacement oper-
ation on its separated configurations, together with the same remainder bound. It does not invert
a finite projection or assert convergence of an infinite series in the truncation degree.
Nested products must use that same reader at each stage. Lower-degree subtractions and the
scale-ratio gains control the difference between the two actual conditional pushforwards. Their con-
stants and radius thresholds keep the fixed word, degree and separation hypotheses. The common
coefficients serve all permitted phases, but the correlation reading at each use still belongs to the
chosen common hierarchy. The detailed derivations below establish these compatibility statements
before any collision extension is attempted.

follows from L. Set Hm = T
i<m ker πi,m. Applying each lower projection to the recursion, using
induction on earlier homogeneous pieces and cancelling its matching term, proves Km(Em) ⊂Hm.
The same identities make the projections fix their own homogeneous space and annihilate the other

The horizon-D packet is P
m≤D ιm,Dhm. Applying πj,D recovers exactly hj, independently of D.
For a single centered field OE3 recovers its inclusion. Spectator pairing of this packet is exactly
the finite sum in OE1, by linearity and component inclusion. These are exact identities before
the asymptotic bound. Define the error in the ground algebra as the compressed full cluster-and-
spectator word minus that finite sum of compressed centered outputs.

Haar measure is normalized. Use this on the open set where every rotated readout is admissible
and assign zero outside; the asymptotic uses eventually lie inside. Finite packets have integrands
and all position derivatives continuous uniformly on compact O(4) locally, so integration preserves
smoothness and multilinearity. Translation and permutation follow termwise. Haar change k 7→gk
gives orthogonal covariance; the second average gives conjugation compatibility. For one centered

degree-q field, q ≤m, coherence gives P≤m = ιq,ma. Equivariance makes the first integrand constant,
and real inclusions make the second average preserve it. This proves the single-field property used
in OE3. Induction in the triangular recursion makes Km commute with rotations and conjugation,
since each earlier projection does so and the inclusions intertwine both operations; thus Hm is
invariant and hm has the asserted laws. For the conjugate-linear involution C on Hm,
v = v + Cv

shows its fixed real space spans Hm complex-linearly. A real basis there is complex independent:
conjugate a complex relation and add and subtract to separate its real and imaginary coefficient
relations. It is the required real basis, chosen once at each m, before horizons and exterior words
are specified.
In the source lift retain the whole packet, filtration, reader, projections and algebra-valued
error together. Homogeneous readout recovers each hj exactly and is compatible with every finite
horizon. Spectator evaluation then recovers OE1. A truncated reader loses higher channels and
the residual; retaining the residual makes the original whole-word reading exactly recoverable. No
separated expansion is promoted to a coincident-point operator identity.
Fixed homogeneous channel and residual recovery.
To distinguish configuration readout
from the homogeneous maps πm,q, write jm, pm for the finite coefficient section and recovery, with

LZ
m,q = jmLm,qpq,
KZ
m = jmKmpm,
πZ
m,q = jmπm,qpq,
ιZ
q,m = jmιq,mpq.
Their compositions recover the same triangular recursion and (OE3).
The lifted homogeneous
space is HZ
m = jmHm with fixed basis eZ
m,α = jmem,α. The normalized Haar and reality averages
commute with these fixed linear sections, on the same open admissible domain and with the same
zero convention outside it. Thus hZ
m = jmhm has exactly the original scalar coordinates Cm,α,
independent of any chosen horizon or spectator.

In particular section recovery of each channel is exact at every finite horizon.
Let RD denote
the retained ground-algebra whole-word remainder, with all spectators still attached. Its source
remainder is RZ
D = α(RD), so
∥RZ
D∥= ∥RD∥,
h(χ)(RZ
D) = χ(RD).
The vacuum reader also agrees under the ground unitary. This recovers (OE1)–(OE2) with their
same uniform allowed-configuration/viewer tails and fixed-data dependence. Retaining RZ
D along-
side the finite packet recovers the whole reading; the construction asserts the same finite-order
asymptotics and no infinite-horizon convergence.
20.2
Uniform OPE rates and smooth interpolation
A rate at most λ means that for every positive slack the norm is eventually bounded by e(λ+ε)T as
T →∞. For a cluster of size and internal-separation exponent a > 0, set ZH = P≤H(x, a; o). The
finite reader comparison gives
An(x, a; o) −An(o, ZH; o)
rate ≤(|d| −H −1)a.

It holds for arbitrary varying rotations. Otherwise choosing a violating rotation at each bad pa-
rameter contradicts the comparison on that path. Compact Haar integration therefore preserves
the uniform rate; conjugate comparison pays the real average. Apply fixed Kn:
hn −πn,HZH
rate ≤(|d| −H −1)a.
(OE5)
For H = n, the projection kills all old grades below n; the grade-n term has rate (|d| −n)a, while
the error has the better rate (|d| −n −1)a. Finite summation gives rate (|d| −n)a for hn and each
coordinate. If exterior clearance and internal exponents are 0 ≤b ≤c, b < a, centered degree j
costs jb+|e|c. A varying field of rate t costs t+jb+|e|c, by fixed finite-basis expansion. OE3 gives
the exact remainder identity

The old remainder rate is ξ = |d|a −(D + 1)(a −b) + |e|c. Each correction has rate (|d| −D −1)a +
jb + |e|c ≤ξ. Finite summation preserves ξ for arbitrary varying viewers, permitting the algebra
norm bound. This last quantifier is what permits passage to the ground-algebra norm, rather than
merely pointwise character bounds. Taking T = −log r, a = 1, b = c = 0 and spending arbitrary
slack gives OE1–OE2.
A failure of a uniform geometry threshold would select bad geometries
at arbitrarily small radii, contradicting this pathwise rate. The coefficient family is consequently
common to all horizons and phases.
OE4 itself follows by testing the old scalar remainder at
the finite detector configurations and fixed weights. Under varying rotations their distances stay
positive and labels/output vectors have rate zero by compactness. Expand moving exterior labels
in fixed finite bases. Multilinearity and finite sums preserve the rate; conjugation of the correlation
gives the conjugate comparison, using the hierarchy’s reality identity. For completeness, the scalar
remainder bookkeeping does not lose a grade.
Recovery of uniform logarithmic remainder rates.
For fixed coefficient sections, hZ
n = jnhn
and the section norm preserve the rate of every finite-reader difference. Applying a fixed linear
map of norm C also preserves a rate: for a prescribed slack ε > 0, use the input estimate with
slack ε/2 and then choose T so large that C ≤eεT/2. The same argument absorbs any fixed finite
number of summands. Consequently the exact homogeneous map and finite remainder sum recover
(OE4)–(OE5) with unchanged exponents, rather than a shifted grade.
For the correction at degree j ≤D, the explicit exponent comparison in the retained geometric
regime is
ξ −
 (|d| −D −1)a + jb + |e|c
 = (D + 1 −j)b ≥0,
ξ = |d|a −(D + 1)(a −b) + |e|c.
The source algebra remainder is RZ
D = α(RD), and thus
∥RZ
D(T)∥= ∥RD(T)∥= sup
χ∈Θ
|χ(RD(T))|.
This uses the whole ground-algebra element at each T. A violation of a common eventual bound
selects one violating viewer at each violating parameter and contradicts the source estimate for
arbitrary varying viewers. Varying rotations are retained in the same way before Haar integration;

the normalized integral cannot increase the uniform norm bound.
Finite detector weights and
compact rotation-dependent label coordinates have rate zero under the same reader.
Finally with T = −log r and a = 1, b = c = 0, the rate bound e(∆−D−1+ε)T is exactly rD+1−∆−ε.
The analogous channel rate is exactly rj−∆−ε.
A selected bad-geometry path is unchanged by
section recovery, so the source’s uniform small-radius threshold argument applies to the same
allowed configurations and fixed coefficient family at every finite horizon.
For the old graded estimates choose mesh exponents 0 < b < a < x < d, with actual cluster
exponent x, and put τ = |g|d + 4|I|(d −a). Physical matching supplies a degree-q centered label Q,
an amplitude and a survival filter for their actual continuum limits. Its label budget rate is τ −qa;
its common mismatch against all permitted exterior tests has rate
τ −(q + 1
16)(a −b).
(OE6)
The same Q is used at every detector and phase. Its degree-h readout, h ≤q, has rate τ −ha. For
h = 0 use the full budget. For h > 0, lower-degree approximation gives s ∈Eh−1 whose distance
from Q is bounded by the degree-(h −1) fare times the original budget. The degree-h reader kills
s by coherence; its value on Q −s, bounded by the fare of exponent (q −h)a, has the required rate.
This subtraction is essential: using just the norm of Q would lose all of this graded improvement.
Choose q ≥h with (h + 1)a ≤(q + 1/16)(a −b). Testing OE6 at the finite detector list and adding
this readout estimate bounds the actual degree-h coefficient by τ −ha on the lattice screen. For
truncation N, choose q ≥N with (N + 1)a ≤(q + 1/16)(a −b). Let exterior clearance exponent
be c < b, internal exponent u ≥c ≥0, and weight |r|. Reconstruct Q from all its readers. For
h ≤N subtract the true coefficients; OE6 pays each difference and its exterior cost hc + |r|u. For
N < h ≤q, the graded budget gives
τ −ha + hc + |r|u ≤τ −(N + 1)(a −c) + |r|u.
The product-to-Q mismatch has that upper exponent too. Their exact sum is the product minus
its degree-N truncation, so the screen remainder has rate
τ −(N + 1)(a −c) + |r|u.
(OE7)
Every statement retains arbitrary varying viewers.
Smooth interpolation applies to the actual
coefficient or remainder, using its rough bound, screen bound and positional derivatives.
The
rough coefficient rate is x|g| since detector exteriors stay distant; the rough remainder rate is at
most x|g|+|r|u+Nc by separate bounds on the original and finite truncation. Derivatives are those
of the same hierarchy and finite detector sums. Interpolation gives the screen rates at arbitrary
configurations. Choose a = x −δ, d = x + δ and b strictly between exterior clearance and a. The
supplied clock has the required mesh levels. As δ ↓0, the coefficient exponent tends to (|g| −h)x
and the remainder to |g|x −(N + 1)(x −c) + |r|u. For any strict requested exponent first fix small
enough δ, then levels and auxiliary horizon.
A moving center changes no distances or readers.
The empty cluster has only the degree-zero unit coefficient, zero positive-degree coefficients and
exactly identity truncation, requiring no anchor approximation. This covers the cases excluded
when an anchor in the cluster was chosen above. We detail the grading argument supplying the
old estimates.
Here is the interpolation detail.
Consider a family fT (p, z) of scalar functions, whose label
list p has total degree |p|, and suppose every positional coordinate derivative replaces one label
by its prescribed derivative, raising total degree by one. Let fT (p, z) have rough rate a|p| + c in
a corridor of size/separation exponent a, screen rate b|p| + d at mesh exponent b > a, and every

coordinate derivative replace a label by a degree-one-higher derivative label. Choose integer n with
(b−a)n ≥c−d. Descend the total degree threshold: the rough bound already proves the improved
estimate for |p| ≥n. If it holds at one higher degree, move z to a screen point z′ within rate −b.
The small ball stays in the corridor. The derivative has rate b(|p| + 1) + d; its operator norm is
bounded by the finite sum of its coordinate norms. The mean-value inequality gives
fT (p, z′) −fT (p, z)
rate ≤b(|p| + 1) + d −b = b|p| + d.
Add the screen value and iterate down to every original degree. Uniform derivative bounds and
eventual differentiability throughout the moving ball follow by selecting a violating point if they
failed, then applying the pathwise hypothesis.
Finite-dimensional rounding with finitely many
forbidden coincidences finds z′ within 2K mesh units, K depending only on the number of cluster
positions. Derivative replacement holds for full correlations, finite detector sums and the finite-
product-rule remainder; the centered exterior factors do not move with cluster positions. Finally,
the derivative replacement identity holds for the actual functions in question. No derivative of a
chosen approximating label is required.
The lifted rate source retains the common matched Q, survival filter, detectors, finite-basis
coordinates and all slack/level choices. Its triangular reader OE5 recovers the new channels from
the old packet with the paid residual. The exact remainder identity preserves the degree and exterior
costs; interpolation recovers arbitrary geometries from the same screened functions. Retaining the
arbitrary varying-viewer quantifier is essential for recovering the compression algebra norm rather
than merely separate character limits.
Graded screen and interpolation recovery.
Retain the same centered matching label Q,
amplitude and refining filter for every detector. For a degree-h readout Rh and the retained lower-
degree approximation s ∈Eh−1, its section lift satisfies
RZ
h jqQ = jhRhQ = jhRh(Q −s),
Rhs = 0.
Thus its fare and whole-label budget combine with exponent (q −h)a + (τ −qa) = τ −ha on both
carriers. This is the same lower-degree subtraction that yields the screen coefficient bound. The
chosen q satisfies the displayed mismatch inequalities before testing any viewer, so section recovery
retains the finite low/high grade split giving (OE7).
For interpolation, scalar correlation, detector and fixed-truncation remainder readers agree at
every actual configuration. Their positional derivative-label identities therefore agree as well. The
lifted screen point is the same physical rounded point z′, with unchanged excluded coincidences
and distance bill. Applying the mean-value reader to the actual function gives the same exponent
cancellation
b(|p| + 1) + d −b = b|p| + d.
The selected-path argument for uniform bounds on the moving ball is preserved, so this recovers
the descending induction without taking a derivative of the matched label Q.
The final slack choice is quantitative. Setting a = x −δ and d = x + δ yields exactly
τ −ha = (|g| −h)x + (|g| + 8|I| + h)δ,
τ −(N + 1)(a −c) + |r|u = |g|x −(N + 1)(x −c) + |r|u
+ (|g| + 8|I| + N + 1)δ.
For any strict requested upper exponent choose δ to fit its positive gap first, retaining the stated
positive mesh ordering; then choose the levels and auxiliary horizon. This explicit readout preserves
the source’s quantifier order, moving-center invariance, and exact degree-zero unit behavior of the
empty cluster.

Compact matching limits and exterior-price passage
A finite plot at k ≤m < m + 1 ≤j obeys

∥xi −xi′∥> 2ajB2
j
(i ̸= i′).
On sufficiently large periods the wrapped positions retain their locations, are separated by B2
j
lattice units and share central parent zero through m + 1. Matching along the original extraction
order gives degree-q labels with a paid local mismatch of amplitude A and quota at m at most p.
Quota comparison bounds their norm in the fixed finite reference space by Kp. Bounded finite-
dimensional compactness gives a nontrivial refining filter and a limit Q, on which the quota and
paid mismatch survive. The survival record retains the actual filter, geometry, insertion, reference
horizon and quota.
Fix positive slack ρ for exterior fields. Their bounded-copy envelopes are
μj = (1 + Yj)a−ej−ρ
l
+ 1.
At mesh exponent ξ their product has rate (|e|+ρ|J|)ξ. Choose auxiliary exponents strictly between
exterior clearance and matching support, and a further pair strictly above exterior internal exponent.
These gaps pay every finite width and separation requirement; a fixed number of fields adds no
exponent. On the same survival filter the mismatch still uses the same Q. Its compressed exterior
rate is at most δ + (|e| + ρ|J|)ξ, with amplitude rate δ. Choose ξ ↓u and then ρ ↓0 before any
eventual bound, giving δ + |e|u. Contractive evaluation permits arbitrary varying phase viewers.
Using both cluster and exterior envelopes gives the full-correlation engineering rate |g|a+|e|u. These
arguments justify all exterior costs used in the grading and interpolation proof. For approaching
plots the strict exponent inequalities eventually give cluster size below am+1/16, spacing above
2ajB2
j and ordered level indices. The subpower Bj consumes no strict gap. One compact matching
limit can therefore be selected pointwise at each parameter, with the common amplitude and quota
rates required by OE6.
For matching accuracy take block exponent a, input exponent d > a and exterior-support
exponent b < a. The input budget product has rate −|g|d and the volume factor rate −4|I|(d −a),
so the positive initial amplitude xT has rate −τ, where τ = |g|d + 4|I|(d −a). The terminal cost is
eT = 4(1 + columnsm) 2aq
m+1 blingm
4
xT
.
Columns, chart factors and copy controls have rate zero; adjacent m, m + 1 have the same mesh
exponent. Thus the cost rate is τ −qa and output quota is 2eT . Choose
zT = exp

[(q + 1

,
AT = 2 stakes /zT .
The stock-opening level has exponent b and stakes have upper rate zero, giving the OE6 error rate.
March affordability offers gain (q + 1)(a −b), chart affordability (q + 1/8)(a −b); expenditure uses
only (q + 1/16)(a −b). Both leave strict positive margins absorbing all rate-zero constants. Room
also follows from b < a: the clock has Jm+1 ≤Jm + 1 and scale increments at least log 3, hence
Jm + 5 ≤J0 + 5 + scalem / log 3,
log(Jm + 5)

−→0.
A fixed readout radius and this subpower width fit inside the strict mesh gap. Make these finite
matching choices before the continuum limit; they give the centered label, quota and local root

error in the same central chamber through m+1. The two affordability conditions in the matching
construction hold eventually.
No exterior independence is assumed. On the common finite lattice,
(registerx −O(Q, 0)) registery = registerx⊔y −O(Q, 0) registery .
The left side is one paid main insertion with the given exterior insertions. The original extrac-
tion along the survival filter yields the two right-hand terms with the actual limiting Q, proving
the screened compressed-difference bound. Approximate arbitrary exterior positions by screened
positions avoiding the center and cluster, coordinate by coordinate; separation persists and both
limiting configurations are noncoincident. Smoothness passes scalar inequalities at every character
to the limit; their supremum gives the algebra norm. The same argument without replacement
bounds full products. Thus the extension to arbitrary exterior points uses actual continuity of the
already constructed hierarchy and one fixed replacement, not a fresh replacement chosen after the
test.
Survival-filter and exterior-price recovery.
A matched source record retains the actual re-
fining filter F, finite reference carrier, labels Qλ, paid mismatch, quota and geometry. Its coefficient
section gives
Qλ −→
F Q,
jqQλ −→
F jqQ,
pq lim
F jqQλ = Q.
The section norm retains the same Kp compact bound. Scalar quota and mismatch inequalities
are part of this same record on that filter; their recovery does not select a replacement label after
choosing an exterior word.
At each common finite lattice configuration, pullback preserves the exact register identity:
L
 (registerx −O(Q, 0)) registery
 = L
 registerx⊔y −O(Q, 0) registery
.
The normalized integral and paid insertion readers therefore recover the same correlated discrepancy.
Passing along F and then through the fixed screened-position approximations preserves the chosen
Q. The resulting algebra element is recovered isometrically by α, so taking all character readings
gives the same norm bound for arbitrary exterior points.
For clarity, the two strict affordability margins read exactly as
(q + 1)(a −b) −(q + 1
16)(a −b) = 15
16(a −b),
(q + 1
8)(a −b) −(q + 1
16)(a −b) = 1
16(a −b).
They absorb the same rate-zero prices before the continuum limit. The source keeps eT , zT , AT ,
adjacent-level exponents and central chamber in that same finite matching choice. The exterior
envelope reader likewise retains δ +(|e|+ρ|J|)ξ until the auxiliary exponents and ρ have been fixed
to meet the requested strict slack. Thus its recovered rate is δ + |e|u with the source’s choice order
and arbitrary-viewer scope.
20.4
Finite sweep, replicas and coefficient conservation
Copy the input list into every cell of a fixed coarse tiling, with its specified reflection and translation,
writing Fv,i for copied insertions and qv = Q
i Fv,i. The anchor copy is unchanged. At m + 1 all
original members have parent zero, so copied parents are exactly the tiling centers.
At every
finer level a copied position has its center’s coarser parent and lies within half the intervening

block length of that embedded parent. Distinct centers have parent separation at least B2
m+1 + 1.
Enlargement L gives embedded separation L(B2
m+1 + 1), while both deviations cost strictly less
than L and B2
i ≤LB2
m+1. The triangle inequality proves cross-copy separation at each intermediate
level; the finest spacing handles within-copy separation. Use one formal marker per occurrence
(v, i). Descending integration preserves its polynomial and integrability. Grouping within each
copy replaces the insertions by qv. Grouping in stages or once gives the same coefficients: each
marker-set coefficient is the product over its full inverse image. This fixed linear map on a finite
polynomial space commutes with conditional integrals. Thus descent of the products is exactly
grouped descent of the individual insertions. The sweep starts with wi = δjφjai/8. At each level
it joins exactly fibers acquiring a common parent, retaining one anchor per fiber, with at most
the original arity at termination. Its available normalization is bounded below by compensation of
Q
i wi, including the four-dimensional volume ratio and join licenses. The initial allowance is
α|I| compensation
 
|I|, m + 1, j, 0, α, (δjφj/8)|I| Y

.
Here α ≤1 is no larger than every intermediate license; fewer surviving fibers only increase this
lower bound. This is xT . For rate-zero positive licenses ui, put αi = min(1, u0, . . . , ui). For t < 0,
eventually uj ≥et scalej; monotonicity gives αi ≥min(αi0, et scalei).
Divide logarithms by scale
and let t ↑0: αi retains rate zero and bounds all preceding licenses. The halo purchase bounds
the geometric license logarithm by 16
q
bβi, sublinear in scale; the other factors have rate zero too.
No power loss is introduced by the minimum.
At the last join choose z > 0 below surviving
normalization and purchased local constant x ≥1. The terminal analytic coefficient has remainder
bound 4/z. Prune the allowance to I′
v = z/(16x). It is available and obeys
2I′
v 2(4/z) ≤1,
I′
v |λ−1| x(4/z) ≤1,
where λ = (lm)q ∈C and lm ≥2 is the integer block size at this step. This λ is a scalar multiplying
every coefficient in the degree-q fusion; it is not an arbitrary linear change of frame. Since q ≥0,
|λ| = lq
m ≥1 and |λ−1| = l−q
m ≤1, with both moduli equal to one for q = 0; equivalently, scalar
multiplication by λ−1 has operator norm at most one on the coefficient space.
Thus the first
smallness expression is 1/x ≤1 and the second is |λ−1|/4 ≤1/4. A lower bound on the norm of
a general operator would not imply this inverse bound; the scalar identity is what proves it here.
In the lift the coefficient space is unchanged and λ acts by the same scalar on realized coefficients,
so the substitution bound is recovered with the same constants; the inverse bound depends on the
homogeneity of the fusion in one degree and would not survive mixing degrees. March allowances
Wv ≤δmI′
v meet substitution bounds. Local fusion gives
∥Q0∥coeff≤p′ = aq

with the same remainder budget simultaneously in every copy. Copy transformations are inherited
from the original Fv,i and the anchor is zero. Restore the polynomial coefficient and apply bounded-
copy comparison to its actual local section: the physical label has quota at most 2e and root error
2 stakes /b0, with final march amplitude b0 = zT . It yields a centered degree-q label with quota 2eT ,
a mismatch supported in the prescribed central chamber, and root-test bound AT . These are exactly
the outputs used above. We describe the geometry and algebra of that finite matching construction
more precisely. The finite matching construction itself is the sweep-and-replica construction; its
remaining formulas are addressed below. The input positions are required to remain in that chamber
through level m + 1, exactly the plot conditions already checked.

The lifted matching object retains the refining filter, replica geometry, occurrence polynomial,
grouping map, licenses and local section. Grouping/descent commutation proves coefficient conser-
vation; compact matching gives the same centered label to every exterior reader. The exact register
identity preserves dependence on exterior variables. Amplitude and quota readers retain their paid
errors, so the finite matching construction recovers OE6 without a viewer-specific replacement or
an interchange of extraction limits.
Replica grouping and finite sweep recovery.
Let g : O →V send each occurrence (v, i) to
its copy v. On the finite square-free coefficient space define the source’s grouping reader by
[zB]ΓgP = [zg−1(B)]P,
B ⊆V.
For P = Q
(v,i)∈O(1 + zv,iFv,i), this gives ΓgP = Q
v(1 + zvqv) with qv = Q
i Fv,i. For a subsequent
grouping h the full inverse-image rule proves
ΓhΓg = Γh◦g,
ΓgE[P | G] = E[ΓgP | G].
The second equality is coefficientwise linearity for the same finite integrable polynomial. Config-
uration pullback also commutes with Γg, so the source and physical descended polynomials have
identical grouped coefficients at every step.
The geometric reader retains physical positions, parent maps and copy motions. Its separation
calculation is explicitly
L(B2
m+1 + 1) −sum of the two deviations > LB2
m+1 ≥B2
i .
Thus the same fibers, anchors and joins occur at each scale, including the unchanged anchor copy.
The source records the actual allowances, license minima and compensation before the final fusion;
these scalar readers preserve positivity and the rate-zero minimum argument. The coefficient section
at the terminal join recovers Q0 with the same p′, remainder budget and pruned allowance z/(16x).
Restoring its grouped coefficient and using the same local section therefore recovers the physical
label quota 2e and the root error 2 stakes /b0 on every copy, with b0 = zT . Neither copy grouping
nor source recovery changes that final march amplitude.

Common purchases and the exact sweep compensation
The common family supplies every finite arity with the same positive activities and smallness
conditions
(2Bi + 1)4 scurryi ≤1

escurryi −1 ≤1,
the normalization lower bound, fusion and analytic remainder estimates at sufficiently late degree
references. The clock then reaches at least degree plus three. These are scheduled estimates on
the existing family; changing arity or output degree does not replace it. Encode a finite screened
linear combination with its actual moving lattice labels and the same scalar coefficients in its
lattice expression and continuum compression. Register multiplication is exactly concatenation;
subtraction retains coefficients 1, −1. Apply the paid-product inequality to that expression, then
take the selected continuum limit, to bound its compression norm by the product of its allowances.
This applies in particular to the intact mismatch times every exterior factor. This explains why
the subtraction stays intact through the limit; estimating its two terms separately would discard
the approximation accuracy.

The compensation inequality underlying the sweep can be written without any scale shorthand.
For original arity H, remaining groups s, 0 < α ≤1 and w > 0, define the exact compensation
K(i, j, s) =
aj
ai
4H α
8
H(H−s)
w.
(OE8)
The invariant is K(i, j, s) ≤Qs
γ=1 Wγ. Initially s = H and w = Q Wγ, giving equality at the finest
level. If separation persists, ai = Liai+1, Li ≥2, and each allowance becomes Wγ/L4
i . Since s ≤H,
K(i, j, s) = L−4H
i
K(i + 1, j, s) ≤L−4s
i
Y
γ
Wγ.
If separation fails, choose a nontrivial grouping with separated coarser representatives and original
anchor, of size s′ < s, with purchased cover li.
Local grouping multiplies the old product by
license(H, li, i + 1)s, and each new group spends 8 before transport.
Because α is below this
license,
H(H −s′) ≥H(H −s) + H,
αH ≤αs,
8s′ ≤8H,
we have
K(i + 1, j, s′) ≤K(i + 1, j, s)(α/8)H
≤8−s′ license(H, li, i + 1)s Y
γ
Wγ.
The transport inequality then pays the coarser step. Descending finite induction proves OE8 in
both cases.
Each regrouping decreases s, so its fixed-arity exponent pays the grouping events
independently of the number of scale steps or cells. Marker grouping commutes with push and pre-
serves integrability by the finite linear integral identity. Retain the actual representatives: parents
come from original positions, copy transformations from original collars, and the anchor is original.
The purchased li bounds every selected coarser cover. These are precisely the data used by local
grouping and final normalization; no additional consistency choice is needed.
The all-phase norm is the same ground-algebra norm throughout. At distinct positions the
compressed whole word is M; zero offthat domain only makes the notation total. Characters
read phase correlations, and the vacuum functional reads the unselected correlation by common
translation into the positive chamber and compression. For the unselected hierarchy its evaluation
is ⟨Ω, MΩ⟩, because translating the entire finite word into a positive-time chamber leaves its corre-
lation unchanged and the compression formula realizes that translated word. Both are contractive,
while the Gelfand norm is the supremum over characters. Thus a common scalar viewer bound is
equivalent to the compressed norm bound. The lifted sweep retains representatives, parent fibers,
allowances and the exact marker polynomial; OE8 is its quantitative conserved budget. Its reader
is the intact paid linear combination, followed by compression and character or vacuum evaluation.
The same source therefore recovers both the compensation invariant and the common OPE norm
without dropping the subtraction.
Exact sweep-budget and all-viewer norm recovery.
At each finite sweep stage retain the
tuple of actual representatives, parent fibers, anchors, group allowances and scalar licenses. Its
readout preserves the physical coordinates and these finite numerical data. Thus H, s, α, w, ai, aj
and K(i, j, s) are identical on the source and physical records. The two case updates recover the
exact budget ratios
K(i, j, s)
K(i + 1, j, s) = L−4H
i
,
K(i + 1, j, s′)
K(i + 1, j, s) = (α/8)H(s−s′) ≤(α/8)H.

Because s ≤H and s′ < s, these are precisely the transport and join payments in (OE8). Finite
descending induction commutes with the readout: each grouping uses the same finite inverse-image
coefficient map and the same integrable conditional push. The number of strict regroupings is
bounded by the decrease in s, independently of the number of scale steps and replica cells.
For an intact paid linear combination E = P
lclM(wl), its source algebra element and viewers
are
EZ = α(E) =
X
l
clMZ(wl),
h(χ)(EZ) = χ(E),
∥EZ∥= ∥E∥= sup
χ |χ(E)|.
The vacuum functional is likewise unchanged under the ground unitary. The original finite-lattice
coefficient expression uses these same cl, including 1, −1 for the discrepancy. Thus its paid-product
reader retains subtraction through the selected limit before applying compression or any viewer.
The recovered compensation and norm bills therefore concern one intact expression on the original
common family.
20.6
Representatives, moving-label moments and grouping prices
In the anchor copy choose a maximum-cardinality subset containing the distinguished anchor with
pairwise lattice separation at least B2. Each omitted position is at separation < B2 from a selected
one, or it could be adjoined. Assign each point to such a representative and each representative to
itself. This is a surjection with an anchor-fixing section. When separation failed the subset is proper,
so its size decreases. Repeat the relative selection in every copy; reflection and translation preserve
separation and the previously proved cross-copy estimate makes the whole selected configuration
separated. If two finer points have parents at separation < B2
m, the half-block deviations from
embedded parents give
sep(x, y) ≤Lm(Bm + Bm+1 + 1)2 =: cm.
The halo of the first point contains the pair and is covered with at most
(2cm + 1)4 ≤16(1 + cm)4
Bm+1-blocks. This purchased carpet bound applies to each point/representative pair; an entire
group need not fit one small halo.
For a finite screened linear combination E whose labels converge along an actual refining filter
in fixed finite-dimensional spaces, freeze the moving labels at each regulator pair and use that
static word in the order-2h even-moment expansion. It is a finite sum over one choice from E at
every occurrence, with products of scalar coefficients and conjugates and translated/reflected lattice
correlations. All subtractions are exact. Expand labels in fixed bases. Finite coordinate products
converge, and fixed-label point limits apply at the eventual generic replica positions. Thus first the
regulator filter gives the continuum replica expression; then large replica displacement gives the
vacuum even moment of its ground compression by GI3. A finite bound c2h on the full expression
passes through both limits for every h. The ground-algebra even-moment norm argument gives
∥ME∥≤c, equivalently by character moments and the Gelfand norm. Here c ≥0 is the product
of paid allowances. Applying this to the intact register mismatch proves its norm bound without a
separate inner regulator limit for moving labels.
Anchor selection and moving-moment norm recovery.
Retain the finite selected represen-
tative set R, assignment g : O ↠R and its section s : R →O. The physical reader preserves
positions and gives
g ◦s = IR,
g(o∗) = o∗,
s(o∗) = o∗,
sep(x, s(g(x))) < B2
(x /∈s(R)).

The same relative assignment is used in every copy. Hence its parent-based two-point carpet bill
remains (2cm + 1)4 ≤16(1 + cm)4 for each point/representative pair. It is not replaced by a single
cover assumption for an entire group.
For each regulator parameter, retain the actual finite-basis coordinates of every moving label.
The source section fixes these coordinates, so every finite even-moment expansion, with all scalar
coefficients and conjugates, is identical before taking limits. Coefficient products and fixed-label
correlations converge on the same refining filter. Its continuum replica expression and subsequent
large-displacement limit therefore recover the same ground-algebra moments. In the commutative
algebra the resulting norm test is
Z
Θ
|χ(ME)|2h dν(χ) = ⟨Ω0, (M∗
EME)hΩ0⟩≤c2h,
h ≥1.
For c > 0, if a character value exceeded c, continuity would give an open set of positive measure a
on which it exceeded some d > c. The inequalities ad2h ≤c2h contradict h →∞. For c = 0, already
the second moment and full support force zero. Thus the Gelfand reader gives ∥ME∥≤c. The
algebra isomorphism α preserves these moments and norms exactly. This recovers the paid bound
for the intact mismatch with its moving labels and original filter, without inserting a separate inner
limit for those labels.
The actual local grouping allowances are
λi(H, l) =
(δi/H)δi
exp((ei + 1
2)l),
W ′
γ =

j∈γ
λi(H, l)Wj,

Each occurrence receives δiWj, allocation among at most H costs δi/H, and moving support costs
the displayed exponential. The fibers partition the old occurrences, so their product is exactly
λi(H, l)s Q
j Wj, as used by OE8.
Apply finite marker fusion with these fibers, the cover and
occupancy bounds and both smallness inequalities. The original allowances bound the actual local
analytic norms and δi ≤1 preserves them. Positive background normalization is the actual stage
density by the stage representation.
Fusion gives local group functions and dominated profiles
representing the exactly grouped polynomial, with remainder 4/W ′
γ. Pruning to W ′
γ/8 gives 4/W ′
γ =
1/[2(W ′
γ/8)], the next-step bound. Newly grouped leading counterterms are zero. Translations and
reflections of functions/profiles persist because all copies use the same grouping. At the terminal join
there is one group per copy and no 1/8 pruning before normalization: its allowance is Q
j λi(H, l)Wj,
with remainder four divided by it.
20.7
Nested chessboards and the intact paid even moment
For two field groups of separation scales ab, al, choose
b ≤f ≤l≤n,
f ≤Q,
|I|10af < ab,
|J|6an < al.
The seating lemma gives the required interior margins in translated reflection chambers. Replica
itineraries preserve those margins; within a replica original spacing persists and between replicas
distances diverge. At sufficiently large displacement and then fine regulator all lattice separations
exceed their chamber scales.
At the 2h occurrences use adjoints on alternating even positions
and unchanged fields on odd positions. Adjoints preserve allowances. The mixed nested-chamber
chessboard inequality bounds the integral by

Register translation and finite-product conjugation identify this with the even moment of the whole
registered insertion Z. Finally, the paid even-moment bound can be seen directly from its lattice
layout. For a mismatch, Z is that mismatch times the exterior register; the main group has one
occurrence per replica with price A. It is never split into two independently estimated fields.
To prove the nested inequality, a paid interior field with chamber root bound A retains both
price and support under permitted diagonal reflection/conjugation.
A margin of three original
chamber scales inside a larger chamber makes its placement a tiling copy of an interior function
with the same bound, by the offset/reflection identity. Collect finer fields in each larger cell and
copy that product to all larger cells. Their finer cells are distinct: different larger cells cannot meet
in one finer cell, and finer placements in a common larger cell are farther apart than its finer cell
extent. Reflection preserves this. Apply finer chessboard, then take the root of order the positive
number of larger cells. This root extraction is legitimate because the prices and root tests are
nonnegative and the number of cells is positive. The collected larger root bound is the product of
its nonnegative individual prices. Coarser main fields occupy distinct larger cells, none occupied by
finer exterior fields, since otherwise the cell extent contradicts separation. Apply larger chessboard
to those main fields and collected products. This gives Q Bi
Q Dj without replacing the two scales
by one. The common seating translation exists by two finite avoidance steps. First translate main
points five buffer scales from coarse boundaries, possible by |I|10af < ab. Then shift at most one
intermediate scale to put exterior points three fine scales from boundaries, possible by |J|6an < al.
This consumes at most two main buffer scales and leaves three. Nested cell periods divide the
larger ones and replica displacements are their integer multiples, so residues and margins persist.
For large periods Euclidean distances are at most twice mesh times wrapped lattice separations;
subsequent embedding multiplies lattice separation by mesh ratio. Thus all finer cutoffinequalities
follow.
One-step transport uses W ′
γ = Wγ/L4
i . Its analytic remainder cost 6Li fits 6Li ≤L4
i for Li ≥2:
(6Li)/(2Wγ) ≤1/(2W ′
γ).
Marker tolls are finite sums of nonnegative allowance products, hence remain bounded after de-
creasing allowances. Separated representatives give support substitution, occupancy holds before
and after parents, and transition density gives the exact descended polynomial.
Counterterms
preserve their copied scalar transformations and W ′
γ|cγ| ≤1 since W ′
γ ≤Wγ. Initially the solved
representation gives 4/Wγ; choosing 8W ′
γ ≤Wγ converts it to 1/(2W ′
γ). These are the initialization
and transport constants of OE8.
The lifted source retains the anchor-fixing surjection and section, individual connecting covers,
convergent label coordinates, regulator filter and replica itinerary. Its moment reader preserves
every signed coefficient before both limits, and its nested root reader preserves the two chamber
scales and actual mismatch. OE9 and the pruning identity recover the exact grouped polynomial
and its next-step bound.
These retained data prevent loss of approximation accuracy through
representative selection, grouping, or compressed-norm recovery.
Grouping allowances and nested-root recovery.
Retain the actual local allowance W ′
γ, cover,
occupancy, normalized stage density and dominated profiles from (OE9). Their configuration reader
is the same local grouped function and its coefficient polynomial. Conditional-integration recovery
preserves that positive normalized density before the remainder is read.

reflection, price and seating residue is the same physical datum under readout. For the mismatch
Z its main occurrence is retained as one paid expression in every replica.
Finally the next-step allowance Wγ/L4
i is unchanged under source recovery. The original esti-
mates 6Li ≤L4
i and 8W init
γ
≤Wγ for the initial allowance recover the transport and initialization
bounds respectively. Monotonicity of the finite nonnegative toll sums preserves all subsequent de-
creases of those allowances. Thus the grouped remainder, nested even moment and paid sweep use
one normalized stage and the original numerical constants.
20.8
Quantitative marker fusion and exact restoration
Let ∆map old occurrences onto groups, with an injective representative section.
Extend old
supports by the chosen connecting covers, each of cost at most l, and set
f
Wi = (η/H)Wie−αl,
α = e + c.
An old coefficient on occurrence set A gains (η/H)|A| after its cover costs are paid. A group’s
allowance is the product of f
Wi over its full fiber.
Distinct occurrences keep distinct nilpotent
markers. Eligible products have disjoint old marker sets, so their toll product is exactly the toll
of their union and, for complete fibers, the corresponding product of group allowances.
With
occupancy at most s, scalar weighted bound a, activity bound b and Wi|ci| ≤T, the extended
inventory envelope is
γ = 2(1 + s)η(sTeα + a) + (1 + s)b.
(OE10)
For nonempty A, (η/H)|A| ≤η/H. At most H old siblings charge a representative, cancelling H−1.
The injective section places representatives at old locations, retaining occupancy s. Reallocation
yields the incidence factor 1+s; two scalar inventories yield the factor 2, and the activity inventory
is charged once. At an original site singleton scalars contribute at most sTeα, because singleton
cover number is at most one; ordinary nonempty coefficients contribute a, activities b. This proves
OE10 without dropping the unit contribution. Finite eligible products are bounded by products of
entry envelopes, using the disjoint-marker toll identity. The connected-set forest estimate at excess
exponent c applies when (2B + 1)4γ ≤c. At exponent e it bounds both grouped ordinary and ac-
tivity coefficients by eγ −1. This is the same connected-set estimate already proved for the general
insertion calculus, now with the extended supports and group tolls. Choose eγ −1 ≤Z. Singleton
restoration with the normalized nonzero background gives the new function and dominated activity
profile, with remainder 2Z/W ′
γ + 2Z/W ′
γ = 4Z/W ′
γ. The actual empty background activity coeffi-
cient is retained, so the profile is admissibly dominated, not merely numerically bounded. Higher
coefficients give the simultaneous served representation. The sweep uses c = 1/2, Z = 1, recovering
OE9.

Weighted fusion and singleton recovery.
Retain the occurrence-to-group surjection ∆, its
representative section and the actual connecting covers. For an old roster A write t(A) = Q
i∈A f
Wi.
The source toll reader has the exact identities
t(A)t(B) = t(A ∪B)
(A ∩B = ∅),
t(∆−1(J)) =
Y
γ∈J
W ′
γ.
Thus eligible full-fiber products retain their weighted coefficient price. Configuration pullback fixes
the cover costs, occupancy and all scalar allowances; it preserves coefficientwise sup bounds and
the same sitewise nonnegative envelope (OE10). The forest reader therefore has identical inputs
(2B + 1)4γ ≤c and eγ −1 ≤Z on both carriers.
Let P ord, P act denote the two grouped polynomials. Coefficientwise pullback commutes with
their singleton readers:
[ζγ]L P ord = L [ζγ]P ord,
[ζγ]L P act = L [ζγ]P act.
The empty-marker activity and actual normalized background are retained by this same map.
Consequently restoration recovers both the local function and its admissibly dominated profile,
with remainder 4Z/W ′
γ, and all higher served coefficients. A prescribed copy motion is a bijection
of the retained inventories and covers; reindexing the same finite coefficient products commutes
with these singleton and empty-marker readers. Thus copy covariance and the hypotheses for the
next grouping survive exactly, including the sweep values c = 1/2 and Z = 1.
Here is the full inventory identity. For scalar markers ci, ordinary polynomials AS and flagged
activity polynomials KS,F , take one singleton entry for each ci and one entry for every nonempty
coefficient of AS. Extend each support by representatives of all mentioned groups. Split each scalar
value into its value on healthy extended support and its value on unhealthy extended support,
zero on the complementary configurations. Their sum is exactly the value. Retain every allowed
activity coefficient, extended support and original flagged data. These finite inventories recover
P
i cizi + P
S AS and each KS,F coefficientwise; locality places all mentioned markers inside their
support. Connected eligible collections receive union supports and markers, with their prescribed
flagged intersections. Expansion of the finite nilpotent exponential and gas, followed by the unique
connected component partition, yields

For retained monomials, new rosters are disjoint exactly when old rosters are: a shared group would
place its entire nonempty fiber in both. Thus the reader commutes with eligible products, while it
is not asserted to preserve arbitrary products involving partial fibers.
Two entries connect if their group rosters meet, or their extended supports meet and both are
activity-collecting types (unhealthy scalar or old activity). Ordinary grouped entries are nonempty
connected eligible collections with no such type. Grouped activity entries are connected eligible
collections containing an old activity, with their flagged intersection equal to the union of the old
flagged subsets; the coefficient is the product if this condition holds, zero otherwise. Old activity
supports inside each collection must be pairwise disjoint, as in the original gas. An unhealthy scalar

component without any activity contributes zero under a selected old flag pattern: its required flag
belongs to an old activity support, which would connect that activity into the component. Hence
each contributing component is one of the two grouped types. Conversely selected grouped entries
have disjoint group rosters and disjoint activity supports, so their expanded components have no
further connections. Union and component partition are inverse operations, preserving coefficients
and flagged unions. The separate flag condition holds for each grouped activity: a flag assigned
to another would violate disjoint grouped supports.
This proves OE11 at every configuration,
independently of entry zeros. With no new markers no scalar entry can occur. Two empty-marker
activities cannot connect, since their prescribed flagged supports are disjoint and there is no group
marker. Thus empty connected collections are exactly single old empty-marker activity entries,
preserving both value and original support-and-flag label. Each nonzero coefficient has its marker
locations inside its support by locality, so every term required for either recovery is present. This
proves preservation of the empty activity coefficient before any bound.
Restoring the nonzero
background makes OE11 precisely the served-polynomial identity.
All grouped supports contain their representatives. Entry dependence is confined to variables
and flags in the extended support, and product dependence to its union. Gauge invariance and
measurability persist, as do flag indicators. Nonzero ordinary groups are healthy on their whole
support; activities have exactly their recorded flag intersection. Thus the same conditions hold
for the next grouping. Copy covariance holds coefficientwise: a focused marker set uses its copy’s
inventory; the copy permutation is a bijection taking extended supports and coefficients to the
prescribed transformed ones. Reindex finite sums and products to obtain covariance of both poly-
nomials, including empty markers and internal interactions, and hence their singleton functions
and profiles after repeated regrouping.
Finally extract each fine served singleton. Restoration identifies its normalized local insertion,
including the dominated activity correction.
Anchor analytic transport gives a coarse function
and dominated profile with unchanged leading counterterm and remainder multiplied by the driv-
ing constant. Define other copies by the prescribed reflection and translation and reindex activity
labels by the actual motion bijection. Conditional integration intertwines these transformations; in-
tegrability permits coefficient extraction to commute with it. The marked transport theorem gives
the full coarse representation at δI, and support substitution with target weights J, occupancy
and duty inequalities restores the served representation at J. All estimates hold for the arbitrary
finite occurrence set V × I; no two-occurrence restriction is used. The lifted fusion source is this
complete finite inventory, flag pattern and occurrence-fiber map. Its realization is the connected
collection polynomial and its observable reader is full-fiber extraction followed by normalized sin-
gleton restoration. OE11 proves exact recovery of the grouped served polynomial; retaining the old
inventory exposes the partial-fiber information discarded by the reader. OE10 pays the support
transformation quantitatively, while empty-coefficient preservation recovers the same background
and makes iteration compatible with the sweep.
Inventory bijection and exact served-polynomial recovery.
For each retained scalar inven-
tory value a on extended support S, its two routed entries recover pointwise as
ah = 1Healthy(S)a,
au = (1 −1Healthy(S))a,
ah + au = a.
Configuration pullback preserves this split and every original support-and-flag label. Let L act
coefficientwise on these finite polynomial inventories. It commutes with the full-fiber reader R∆,
because neither operation changes the other’s coefficient indices. The source realization of (OE11) is
therefore exactly its coefficientwise pullback, with the same finite nilpotent exponential and flagged
gas.

More explicitly, retain an eligible old collection together with its unique connected-component
partition. The forward reader replaces that collection by its ordinary or activity components; the
inverse reader takes their union with their recorded old entries. On the selected flag pattern these
operations are inverse, preserve the product of scalar coefficients, and preserve the union of flags.
The zero contribution of an unhealthy scalar-only component is retained before summing. This
gives recovery of every coefficient of (OE11), including the empty coefficient’s bijection with single
old empty-marker activities. Individual zeros require no division.
Normalized singleton restoration thus uses the same nonzero background on both carriers. At
the final one-step transport, coefficientwise pullback and extraction commute with the integrable
conditional push; copy reindexing preserves the same activity-motion bijection.
The retained
marked transport at δI and support substitution at J recover the entire served polynomial, with
its dominated profiles and original duty bounds. The occurrence set remains the arbitrary finite
set V × I, so this recovery applies to every census used in the sweep.
20.9
Nested expansions on arbitrary finite trees
Let t be a finite rooted tree, with fields of degrees wlat its leaves, and centers zv and radii
sv > 0 at internal vertices.
Zero and one child are allowed.
All subtree positions at v lie in
radius Msv; different immediate child subtrees have separation at least ηsv. Internal child radii
do not exceed parent radii.
The root radius is r ↓0; no positive lower bound is imposed on
child/parent ratios. Bounds on immediate centers imply these full subtree conditions after a small
uniform upper ratio choice: if child displacement constants are Ci, set C′ = P
i Ci and choose
0 < β ≤1, β ≤η/[4(C′ + 1)], below all previous child bounds. Descendant deviations are at most
C′βsv, so sibling separation loses at most 2C′βsv ≤ηsv/2 and the parent displacement is at most
(M + C′)sv. Induction gives the geometry. Put Wv = P
lbelow v wland qv = sv/sparent(v), with
virtual root-parent radius 1, so qroot = r. For fixed output degree m define

(NE1)
Fix every internal truncation Dv before taking the limit. The direct coefficient reads the full leaf
cluster at the root; the iterated coefficient literally multiplies and sums the same homogeneous
OPE channels up the tree through the assigned child horizons, ending in the fixed root channel
(m, α). Uniformly over admissible geometry and positive radii, for small enough r,

With no nonroot internal vertices this sum is zero and equality is exact. The root horizon does
not enter the sum, since its output is already fixed. With exterior positions separated from all tree
positions and each other by δ > 0, the common ground-algebra norm of the full leaf product minus
its direct root expansion through m is at most
Tm+1,ε(s).
(NE3)
This serves both vacuum and every character. All finite expressions are smooth on their common
open reader domain; for fixed requested degrees the tree geometry eventually belongs to it, by
shrinking diameters and sibling distinctness recursively.

Suppose first the radii have rates −av, nondecreasing down the tree, and set ∆v = av −
aparent(v) ≥0, with virtual exponent zero. The engineering cost is
E =
X
v internal
Wv∆v.
(NE4)
Telescoping along each leaf path also writes this as its degree times its nearest internal parent’s
exponent, summed over leaves. Direct output rate is E −maroot, tested remainder rate E −(m +
1)aroot. NE1 adds slack ε P
v ∆v to this engineering rate. When P
v av = 1, this slack is positive:
some av > 0 and each av is bounded by the sum of all nonnegative advances. It absorbs fixed
constants even when individual gaps vanish.
Finite-tree channel and price recovery.
Retain the complete finite rooted tree, all positive
radii and centers, leaf labels, fixed internal horizons and the already chosen homogeneous channel
bases. Lift each finite coefficient carrier by its fixed section. Every node coefficient is unchanged
because the homogeneous coordinate reader recovers the same scalar C. Thus each term in the finite
iterated coefficient, indexed by the retained intermediate degrees and channels, has the identical
product on both carriers. Summing those same indices gives
CZ
direct = Cdirect,
CZ
iterated = Citerated,
T Z
m,ε(s) = Tm,ε(s).
The tree reader keeps every child-to-parent ratio as an independent positive geometric datum. It
introduces no lower ratio bound, permits zero and one child, and retains the fixed root output
outside the nonroot error sum.
The tested root remainder is lifted by α, so its norm and all
vacuum/character evaluations recover (NE3).
The engineering identity behind this recovery is the exact finite path interchange

Substitution in (NE1) gives its stated engineering rate plus ε P

vertices and P
v av = 1, then

This explicit retained slack absorbs fixed finite channel-count and map constants even when in-
dividual advances vanish. The same physical geometry and finite admissible reader domains are
read at each node, so the resulting bounds preserve all of (NE1)–(NE4)’s stated finite-tree and
finite-horizon scope.
The finite recursive proof retains leaves as actual labels of their actual degrees, with coefficient
one; a bud is not a degree-zero projection, a convention that includes arbitrary input labels correctly.
Child alternatives through D are its homogeneous fields of degrees 0, . . . , D, weighted by direct
coefficients. Parent alternatives multiply these coefficients by the OPE coefficient of those resulting
fields. Inductively every raw subtree has (i) a finite comparable family at its parent’s exponent, to
any prescribed tested accuracy, whose amplitudes pay engineering cost minus resulting degree times
that exponent, and (ii) its direct coefficient and full tested remainder estimates at its own exponent.
Leaves satisfy both. Products of child families add costs as in NE4 and sibling separation makes
their positions admissible. If a child has the same exponent as its parent retain its comparable
family.
If it is strictly larger, use its second assertion to replace it through a sufficiently high

auxiliary finite horizon H. For child exponent a > k with cost Ωand later exterior bound Wb,
replacing through auxiliary finite H has error rate Ω−(H +1)(a−k)+Wb. For requested ρ, choose
H > (Ω+Wb−ρ)/(a−k), above all earlier requested horizons. Replace children in order, choosing
each new horizon after the earlier finite degrees and their exterior costs are fixed.
The exact
telescoping sum has one error at a time, avoiding circular horizon choices. Finite readers transfer
these tested errors to coefficients. Apply the single-center estimate to the resulting comparable
family to complete both parent assertions. For prescribed truncations choose gain γ ≥0 satisfying
γ ≤(Dv + 1)∆v
at every nonroot internal v.

transfers one gain γ, not its multiple. For γ > 0 all nontrivial immediate child gaps are positive.
Replace through auxiliary Hj ≥Dj to arbitrarily good accuracy. The auxiliary sum minus the
desired sum is the finite omitted-channel sum; every term has a child degree at least Dj + 1,
gaining (Dj +1)∆j ≥γ between its coefficient cost and the parent’s returned degree. Other degree-
gap contributions are nonnegative. Recursive replacement of retained direct child coefficients gains
the same γ by the product identity. The three exact differences therefore give
direct-to-iterated error rate ≤E −maroot −γ.
(NE6)
For γ = 0, bound direct and iterated terms by the common raw rate; no high-accuracy substitution
is needed at zero gap. With no nonroot internal vertices every child choice has coefficient one and
permutation invariance gives exact equality. Take γ as the minimum of (Dv + 1)∆v; an attaining
vertex contributes ratio power of rate −γ. Positive NE1 slack absorbs constants; its one term is
bounded by the NE2 sum. Direct/remainder rates give the remaining claims, and contractivity
plus the character supremum gives NE3.
Recursive finite-family and truncation-gain recovery.
A source alternative retains its ac-
tual ordered word, positions and scalar coefficient.
Lift its field labels by the fixed coefficient
sections and leave that scalar unchanged. Products and finite sums of alternatives then recover
term by term under the same correlation reader. In particular a leaf retains its original degree and
coefficient one, and a parent uses exactly the same intermediate channel indices. For a strict child

It recovers the required strict error rate and is chosen after the preceding finite alternatives and

aparent) ≥(Dj + 1)∆j. All other advances are nonnegative. Thus the same three finite differences
recover (NE6), including its γ = 0 branch and the exact case with no nonroot internal vertices.
Choosing an attaining minimum vertex and then the positive NE1 slack recovers the original sum
of ratio powers in (NE2). The corresponding algebra remainder reader is isometric, giving the same
all-phase (NE3) bound.
Here are the finite-family quantifiers used above. An alternative is a finite word at selected
subtree positions times a scalar of finite upper rate. Eligibility at b means positions separated at
that exponent. Agreement to rate ρ up to exterior weight W means the full correlation difference
has that rate against every fixed exterior list of weight at most W, arbitrary admissible position
paths and viewer paths. A supply at parent exponent k and cost M provides such comparable fam-
ilies for sufficiently large exterior exponent b and every W, ρ, in the exact continuum hierarchy. To
replace one branch, fix the other branches’ alternative, of degree d and amplitude rate ζ. Request
weight W + d and accuracy ρ −ζ for the changed branch; multiplication restores rate ρ. Finite
maxima over all other alternatives suffice before the replacement. Sibling separation ensures admis-
sible augmented exteriors. Successive replacements use only previous choices and unchanged later
branches; transitivity adds complete differences. For coefficient transfer choose W covering every
finite detector word through m. Rotating detector words retain degree and bounded coordinates
and remain a fixed positive distance apart and from the shrinking cluster. Finite detector sums,
compact rotation averaging, real averaging, Km and a coordinate reader preserve agreement rate
ρ. Uniformity under arbitrary rotation paths follows as in OE4. For complete remainder transfer
an extra debit is needed, which is why agreement of products alone would not suffice: if desired
pre-exterior rate is ρ0 = M −(m + 1)(k −u), 0 ≤u ≤k, request replacement agreement ρ0 −mu,
covering actual exterior and detector weights. The product difference has rate at most ρ0. Degree-j
coefficient differences cost at most ρ0 −mu + ju + |e|b ≤ρ0 + |e|b. Add the replacement remainder
and subtract all these coefficient differences to recover exactly the original full remainder. For a
comparable alternative of degree d, amplitude rate M −dk and geometry exponent k > 0, its
degree-m coefficient costs (d −m)k, giving M −mk. Include its fields in the exterior test of the
changed branch. At k = 0, finite detector words cost zero, so its amplitude times their correlations
has rate M; comparison with the empty family gives the same coefficient bound. Write each ro-
tated reader as its finite sum of these tested correlations times its fixed weights and rotated loaded
vectors. Actual shrinking ensures eventual admissibility even at zero exponent. For u < k multiply
the single-center remainder by the amplitude, giving M −(m+1)(k−u)+|e|b. At u = k, separately
bound the full correlation and each finite centered term; engineering degrees cancel to M + |e|b.
Finite summation covers both boundary cases.
Finite-family agreement and whole-remainder recovery.
Retain each alternative as its
ordered word, scalar amplitude and geometric path. Its lift preserves every complete correlation
against the same exterior labels and viewer.
Hence agreement to rate ρ through weight W is
preserved with all its original universal path quantifiers. For a fixed other-branch alternative of
degree d and amplitude rate ζ, requesting (W +d, ρ−ζ) before the replacement gives exactly rate ρ
after multiplication. Taking the finite maxima first recovers the triangular branch procedure. The
coefficient reader uses the same finite detector words, normalized rotation average, real average and
homogeneous coordinate maps; its recovery therefore preserves that agreement rate as well.
Write Rm(F) for the complete tested remainder of a family F, and Cj(F) for its centered
degree-j coefficient field, with the fixed homogeneous basis sum understood. For a comparable

j=0
Corr(Cj(F) −Cj(G); exterior).
Both source and physical readers retain this subtraction before any estimate.
With requested
agreement ρ0 −mu, its jth centered term has upper rate
ρ0 −mu + ju + |e|b = ρ0 −(m −j)u + |e|b ≤ρ0 + |e|b.
This recovers the precise debit needed for the full remainder, not only the product. For the boundary
cases the same scalar rate identities give M −mk = M at k = 0 and M −(m + 1)(k −u) + |e|b =
M +|e|b at u = k. The source keeps actual shrinking and eventual admissibility in the zero-exponent
case, so no positive gap or degree loss is inserted in these cases.
No prior existence of logarithmic rates is required. For any approaching admissible family, every
internal radius tends to zero; set
T =
X
v internal
log(1/sv).
Eventually T > 0 and tends to infinity. The normalized log-radius vector lies in a finite compact
cube and has a limit a on a nontrivial refining filter, with P
v av = 1. Radius monotonicity forces
av ≥aparent(v) by exponential-rate comparison. Geometry gives the size rates and actual shrinking;
sibling separation gives separation at each strictly larger exponent. The proof applies even when
some av = 0, with positive total slack. If a uniform small-radius threshold failed, select violating
arrays at arbitrarily small radii. Extracting a refining filter of those same arrays yields eventual
validity, a contradiction. Include exterior geometry and a violating viewer in the selection when
necessary. Thresholds thus depend only on the fixed tree, labels, horizons, M, η, ε, δ, without lower
ratio bounds.
For any measure space (K, μ) and complex u ∈L1 with
R |u|dμ ≤B, take an almost everywhere
measurable admissible plot map at one fixed radius array. Smooth coefficients on the common open
domain, zero extended outside, are measurable. If |g| ≤C where u ̸= 0, then

(NE7)
Apply to the direct coefficient and its direct-minus-iterated difference with NE2’s two bounds. Both
are integrable, hence so is the iterated coefficient, and subtraction proves the weighted NE2. No
product measure or absolute continuity assumption is used.
Jointly varying exterior positions
and characters are allowed for the tested remainder: smooth position dependence and continuous
character evaluation on the compact metrizable character space give joint measurability on the
guard domain. Apply NE7 with C = Tm+1,ε. The raw correlation has bound T0,ε by adding its
degree-zero terms and remainder with their engineering rates, so it too is integrable. The truncation
is a difference of integrable expressions, its finite terms can be integrated, and the integrated full
discrepancy is bounded by BTm+1,ε. Probability phase mixtures use u = 1, B = 1, with identical
coefficients outside the phase integral.
Covariance concerns the full homogeneous vectors, not
invariant scalar basis channels. Leaves emit their actual labels. Internal vertices include the child
emissions into their fixed horizon spaces, apply the multilinear hj at their centers, and sum through
their own horizon. Multilinearity gives exactly the finite channel formula. Induction using the laws
of hj and inclusions gives translation, conjugation and orthogonal covariance; applying only hm at
the root gives the degree-m law. The basis can transform nontrivially within Hm; no assertion that

its vectors are individually rotation invariant is needed. The full tested discrepancy inherits these
laws.
The lifted nested object retains the finite rooted tree, all radii, centers, actual leaf degrees, fixed
horizons and full homogeneous vectors. Its iterated reader is their finite multilinear substitution; its
direct reader retains the full cluster with the same fixed basis. The exact telescoping comparison
retains the residual between readers, with NE2 quantifying recovery at arbitrary positive ratios.
Keeping that residual recovers the original coefficient exactly; NE3 similarly retains the tested
whole-word remainder.
Filter normalization proves uniform reader bounds without a scale-gap
assumption. NE7 transports these same readers under joint weighted integration and phase mixture.
Normalized radii, weighted readers and vector recovery.
For the nested source record z,
retain its radii unchanged under the physical readout p and section j. In particular the finite vector
av(T) = log(1/sv)
T
,
X
v
av(T) = 1,

is literally the same function of z, pz and jpz. Its compact filter limit therefore needs no new choice
of physical scales. For v below its parent, sv ≤sparent(v) gives av(T) ≥aparent(v)(T) eventually, and
hence the same inequality in the limit. Each radius has rate −av relative to T; even at av = 0
its actual convergence to zero remains part of the retained geometry. The geometric size estimate
Msv gives the required envelope rate at vertex v, and also actual convergence of every descendant
displacement to zero. The bounds Msv and ηsv retain, respectively, the descendant envelope and
separation at every exponent strictly above av. Induction over the tree thus gives all the regularity
hypotheses of the preceding rate proof, including vertices with av = 0. With ∆v = av−aparent(v), the
preceding finite-tree argument retains ε P
v ∆v > 0. Selecting a violation before compact extraction
retains that very position, exterior and viewer record; its refined eventual bound contradicts the
selected violation. This is the recovery of the common threshold, including all-viewer quantifiers
and arbitrarily small positive ratios.

use the same fixed radii and the same zero extension on the common open domain. Domination by
C|u| supplies integrability before subtraction. Joint position and character readouts similarly give
BTm+1,ε for the complete tested discrepancy; the raw bound T0,ε then makes its finite truncation
integrable.
Thus finite coefficient sums and probability phase integrals retain their order and
coefficients.

orthogonal action on Hj, use ρZ

intertwines these actions, translations and conjugation. At the root retain only hm to recover the
specified degree-m output. This transports the full homogeneous vector and its tested discrepancy
while allowing basis channels to mix under ρm(R).

Extension across collision sets
Why collision data must be retained.
Separated correlations alone do not specify a distri-
bution on a collision diagonal: two extensions can differ by a distribution supported there. The
raw record consequently includes the subtraction windows, finite Taylor orders, collision charts,
normal directions and forest choices used by the construction. The readout is the resulting Taylor-
subtracted pairing for those devices.
Cancellation is established inside each combined shell expression before its integral norm is
bounded.
Absolute L1 summability then justifies Fubini and passage through the finite forest
overlaps. Integrating separately divergent pieces would destroy that argument. The finite cutoffs
and compatible projections below show how to handle arbitrary labels using the same prescribed
extension. What is recovered is thus a complete extension with declared devices and finite horizons,
not independence from arbitrary alternative subtraction prescriptions.
21.1
Collision extensions with specified subtraction data
The contact conclusion is a Euclidean distributional extension using the same reader and a spec-
ified subtraction system.
Let P : E →(R4)k be a real linear isometry, with Haar volume on
finite-dimensional E. An admissible forest records compatible collision groups, local continuation
charts, support windows, finite Taylor orders and projection choices. For each such forest and
compact smooth chart test the construction gives an integrable Taylor-subtracted pairing, equal
to its prescribed annular expansion with absolute summability in integral norm. Finite ordered
iterations of centered collision groups have the same property. Away from total collapse, annuli
recover the punctured correlation. On permitted isometric collision planes containing the collision
directions the endpoint has the stated finite total test order. Devices carry the hierarchy’s actual
rotation action; projection bases are the OPE reader prescription. A real system basis and compat-
ible positive thresholds exist simultaneously. Contact values are therefore attached to these devices
and forest conditions, not asserted independent of all subtraction choices.
For a nonempty group g, define
Nfull
g
= {x : xj = 0 (j /∈g),
X
j∈g
xj = 0},
Ng = P −1Nfull
g
.
Admissibility requires Nfull
g
⊂ran P, so P is an isometry of these normals.
Their orthogonal
complements contain collapsed configurations and the centroid. Omitting one member identifies
the full normal space linearly with (R4)|g|−1, the omitted coordinate being minus their sum; hence
dim Ng = 4(|g| −1) =: νg.
(CE1)
Disjoint groups have orthogonal normals.
Centroids of disjoint nonempty proper groups differ
almost everywhere in the normal variables: equality is the kernel of a nonzero linear map, nonzero
by opposite vectors at one member of each group.
Its proper linear kernel has Haar measure
zero. This supports almost-everywhere shell identities without assigning punctured readings on a
coincidence plane. With orthogonal projection πg, normal Taylor terms are
Tg,jf(x) = 1
j!Djf(x −πgx)[πgx, . . . , πgx].
For fixed s > 0, let the prescribed radial smooth χs equal one near zero and vanish for normal
norm at least 2s. Put

Tangential variables remain parameters. This depends only on normal jets through m along N⊥
g
and vanishes for tests supported away from that subspace.
Its support lies in {x : x −πgx ∈
supp f, ∥πgx∥≤2s}. For orthogonal normals projections annihilate each other, derivatives com-
mute and cutoffs use separate variables; Taylor and remainder operators therefore commute for
disjoint groups. These facts follow directly from the displayed derivative formula and the cutoff.
For input degrees dj, define ωg = P
j∈g dj and Lg = max(0, ωg +1−νg). Resolve the expression
into degrees h = 0, . . . , Lg −1 and its remaining component using the fixed field reader. Pair the
remaining component with f, and the projected degree-h term with the normal remainder through
Lg −1 −h. For these finite choices v, gains are Gv = Lg and Gv = h respectively; after normal
integration,
ev = νg + Gv −ωg.
(CE3)
The remaining branch has ev ≥1, including Lg = 0. A projected branch has ev + (Lg −1 −h) = 0.
At shell radius a ≤1, Taylor remainder supplies the additional order aLg−h, giving
aevaLg−h = a.
(CE4)
For a > 1 the cutoffbound uses only aLg−1−h and the product is exactly one. The remaining
branch meets only shells up to the fixed geometric reserve, where its aev is bounded. This is the
near/far integrability gain.
A uniform local chart retains a partition Q into disjoint nonempty parts, length s > 0, collapsed
offset, linear resizing frame A and a closed stage in a fixed bounded resized set. Part radii Ri ∈
(0, 1] scale their normal directions.
A common detector collar B ∈(0, 1] contains the normal
extent and subtraction halo, with 2s ≤B; nonsingleton radii are at most a fixed multiple of s.
Require B ≤clearance(P
j dj), decreasing with degree and hence covering all projection degrees.
The continuation of other groups, centers and fields is constant along each current part’s normal
directions. Ancestor-subtracted expressions are thus retained as exterior continuations with their
cancellations intact. Refine a nonsingleton i by proper partition U on an angular annular patch,
with new radius a and other radii fixed. Compose A with normal multiplication by a/Ri, identity
on N⊥
i . Then
| det A′| = | det A|(a/Ri)νi.
(CE5)
Engineering fields contribute (a/Ri)−ωi, and continuation gain contributes (a/Ri)Gv; together these
are exactly (a/Ri)ev. Keep both the old stage and its normally collapsed, cutoff-bounded part, since
Taylor supports may enter the halo. Orthogonality preserves other normals. The continuation
remains locally continuous: Taylor acts within the detector collar and the angular patch separates
distinct part palettes.
The lifted contact source is the isometric plane together with its normal spaces, Haar volume,
ordered forest, fixed reader projections, cutoffjets and resizing frames. CE2 is its test readout,
paired with the matching projected field component; CE5 transports its volume and CE3–CE4
preserve its scale price. Retaining subtraction jets exposes the contact data lost by restricting to
punctured configurations. Restriction of the eventual extension recovers the punctured reading;
contact recovery additionally requires these actual devices, not only the punctured observable.
Collision-plane and normal-jet recovery.
The contact record includes the actual isometry
P, Haar volume dxE, admissible forest, fixed homogeneous field projections and all cutoffand
continuation choices. For its horizontal coordinate copy write JE : E →EZ and QE : EZ →E,
with QEJE = 1 and EZ = JEE. Equip this copy with the transported inner product and volume

Orthogonality and the zero-measure co-
incidence kernels are transported by the same isometry.
In particular the omitted-coordinate
parametrization used for CE1 is only linear; its coordinate Lebesgue measure is not silently substi-
tuted for the induced Haar volume.
The chain rule gives, for horizontal arguments JEui,
DjfZ(JEx)[JEu1, . . . , JEuj] = Djf(x)[u1, . . . , uj],
T Z
g,jfZ(JEx) = Tg,jf(x).
Thus TZ
g,s,mfZ = (Tg,s,mf)QE and likewise for R. The collapsed base point, normal jet order, cutoff
halo and tangential parameters are all recovered. For disjoint groups the conjugated projections
still annihilate one another, so the commuting Taylor and remainder identities remain exact. The
same identities transport the finite ordered forest operations with their prescribed order.
If Fg is the current group field expression, let ΠhFg denote its fixed degree-h reader component
and put Frem = Fg −P
h<Lg ΠhFg. With the exterior continuation held fixed, the contact pairing
has the precise form
Cg(Fg, f) = ⟨Frem, f⟩+
Lg−1
X
h=0
⟨ΠhFg, Rg,s,Lg−1−hf⟩.
An empty sum at Lg = 0 is retained. Transporting each component, test and horizontal volume
gives CZ
g (F Z
g , fZ) = Cg(Fg, f) on the source’s admissible charts. In the projected branch, Lg =
ωg + 1 −νg, so explicitly
(νg + h −ωg) + (Lg −h) = 1,
(νg + h −ωg) + (Lg −1 −h) = 0.
These recover respectively the near-shell power a and far-shell power 1, while the remaining branch
has exponent at least one. For resizing Si = (a/Ri)πi + (1 −πi), its lifted frame is JEASiQE;
its determinant in transported orthonormal coordinates is det A (a/Ri)νi.
The unchanged engi-
neering and continuation factors then recover CE5’s total (a/Ri)ev, including the old stage and
collapsed cutoffhalo. Consequently this lift preserves the stated contact devices and scope before
the subsequent shell summability argument.

Uniform contact budgets and shell refinement
For a current partition Q of g choose
τQ = 3|g|−|Q|,
εQ = τQγ,
γ > 0,
(τQ + 1)γ ≤1.
A proper refinement Q′ increases the part count, so

A dyadic restriction of part i to shell number ni supplies 2−niγ; an unrestricted part supplies one.

The constant is uniform after geometric reserves, degree bounds and continuation estimates are fixed.
The norm is taken after combining the finite subtraction expressions, preserving their cancellations.
Under refinement the child’s budget is the parent’s at εQ′, multiplied by (a/Ri)eva−εQ′. CE4 and
its bounded far-shell counterpart make the Taylor-adjusted factor at most a reserve constant times
(a/Ri)t for every 0 ≤t ≤1. Choose t = γ + εQ′ ≤1:
(a/Ri)γ+εQ′a−εQ′ = aγR

CE6 absorbs the radius loss in the parent’s surcharge. Other shell factors stay unchanged, and
each new annulus contributes the summable aγ. Proper partitions strictly decrease |g|−|Q|, giving
finite induction and the derivative count NQ.
The shells are
ψg,a = χa(πgx) −χa/2(πgx),
an = 2−n,
supp ψg,a ⊂{a/2 ≤∥πgx∥≤2a}.
Their telescoping identity is

ψg,an = χ1 −χaN .
(CE9)
For tests supported at normal norm at most one and any nonzero normal point, multiplying by
this right side is eventually equality in a whole neighborhood, including every derivative used by
the finite Taylor operations. On the compact unit normal annulus group labels by equal positions.
This is a proper partition since total collapse is absent. Subcentroids in a part coincide; those in
different parts are distinct. The latter is open, and the finitely many proper partitions/subgroups
give an open cover.
Choose a smooth finite partition of unity subordinate to it.
Its rescaled
angular factors times ψg,a give ψg,a,U summing to ψg,a. On each compact mask support different-
part subcentroids have a positive minimum distance at radius one, hence distance at least cUa after
rescaling. This supplies reader separation also for all subgroups used in subsequent refinement.
The lifted shell record retains the full radius register, finite angular atlas and combined Taylor
expression. The annular reader CE9 is eventually exact offthe collapsed normal plane; CE8 pays
its integral norm before summing.
CE6 proves that refinement preserves that paid budget, so
iterated readout recovers the same tested pairing rather than separately bounding terms whose
cancellation supplies integrability.
Exact budget and annular-mask recovery.
Retain each radius register as a separately named
entry in the contact source, even when its value is unchanged by a refinement. The section and
readout keep these entries, Bw, the frame determinant and all input degrees fixed. Thus BZ
w(ε) =
Bw(ε), and the transported horizontal norm gives
Z
EZ ∥F Z∥d(JE)∗xE =
Z
E
∥F∥dxE,
∥fZ ◦(JEAwQE)∥CNQ = ∥f ◦Aw∥CNQ.
Here derivatives and operator norms on the horizontal copy use the transported orthonormal frame.
This recovers CE8 with its complete combined integrand; individual unsubtracted terms are not
substituted for F in this equality.

For a proper refinement set d = |g| −|Q|. Then τQ′ ≤τQ/3 and τQ ≥3, whence
2εQ′ + γ ≤(2τQ/3 + 1)γ ≤τQγ,
t = γ + εQ′ ≤1,
εQ −εQ′ ≥t.
Consequently for 0 < Ri ≤1 the parent’s extra surcharge obeys R

this explicitly recovers the radius absorption and convergent shell price used in the finite partition
induction. No unchanged register is removed to obtain this estimate.
For each fixed finite angular partition let its normalized masks be θU, so ψg,a,U = θUψg,a with
the stated rescaling understood.
Pull back the actual masks along QE.

The normal distances are preserved by JE, so the same positive cUa separates all prescribed different-
part subcentroids. The source retains the eventual equality of germs offN⊥
g , including every finite
jet entering later operations. This retains the actual angular partition and shell readers, rather
than only their support bounds.
21.3
Uniform Taylor bounds and absolute contact resolution
On a fixed compact unit annulus, with derivatives of f bounded through n+m+1, normal rescaling
by a gives
∥Rg,s,mf∥Cn after rescaling ≤C∥f∥Cn+m+1
(
am+1,
0 < a ≤1,
am,
a > 1.
(CE10)
The parent scale R obeys R ≤Bs, Ra ≤Bs, with the fixed normalized support bound.
All
derivatives through n of χ1(uπgx), 0 ≤u ≤B, have a common bound by compact smoothness.
The rescaled normal Taylor polynomial is bounded by C max(1, a)m; the rescaled original function
has uniform derivatives on its compact support and is zero as a germ beyond it. Leibniz gives the
far bound. For a ≤1, if 3Ra/s ≤1 the cutoffis identically one near the annulus, so integral Taylor
remainder gives am+1. Otherwise 1 ≤3Ba, and multiplying the rough bound by (3Ba)m+1 proves
the same near bound. Fixed normalized angular mask derivatives add only a constant. This proves
uniformity in s.
The normal Taylor estimate also intertwines exactly with the horizontal copy: its rescaled Cn
norm and its parameter family χ1(uπgx), 0 ≤u ≤B, are unchanged. In the near branch the
normalized integral Taylor remainder is
f(b + ay) −

with y normal and b tangential. Differentiating this formula in the normalized coordinates uses at
most n+m+1 derivatives. When the cutoffis not identically one, the retained alternative 1 ≤3Ba
converts the rough near bound to the same power am+1; the far branch retains am. Hence CE10
transports with exactly its two regimes and a constant uniform in the subtraction length and fixed
normalized angular masks.

For the explicit CE8 induction, the singleton partition has no normal direction left: apply
continuity, the permitted continuation bound and bounded resized support.
Otherwise choose
nonsingleton i, decompose its election into the finite projected/remaining choices v, and apply
CE9 after normal Taylor operation and the angular partition.
Each resulting term equals the
refined forest expression with the continuation that regroups its children into i and applies its
fixed projection or remainder. This is a linear-expression identity before hierarchy evaluation or
integration.
The refined partition has smaller |g| −|Q′| and retains offsets, length and normal
constancy. Its subcentroid palette is admissible by angular separation and the common collar. The

Empty annular stages give zero; nonempty ones have exactly the refined geometry. Finitely many
sectors and components preserve uniformity. Because P

n = (1−2−γ)−1, their complete terms
are absolutely summable in integral norm. CE9’s eventual germ equality and proper-normal Haar-
null exceptions identify the sum almost everywhere with the unsliced expression. More precisely the
terms sum in the Banach space L1(E; X), since the sum of norms is finite. Absolute integral-norm
summability also supplies the almost everywhere pointwise sum; uniqueness identifies the same
integrable function, without an unproved dominating function. Continuous integration gives

For any ordered list of distinct unresolved nonsingleton groups, successive shell resolutions have
bound proportional to Q
j 2−njγ. Absolute Fubini gives the multiple sum and its equality with the
original pairing in every permitted order. Only the combined subtraction expressions are asserted
absolutely summable; this does not separately assert it for their Taylor monomials. For desired
loss ε > 0, choose γ = min(1, ε)/(τQ + 1). Then the economy condition holds, εQ ≤ε, and on
unrestricted shells monotonicity of R−ε for 0 < R ≤1 gives the requested loss using the same
devices and projections.
The continuation hypothesis is a tested inequality on every allowed logarithmic chart path:
price rate b and affordable group rates ci give reading rate at most b + P
i ci.
It also retains
local continuity on palettes and constancy in already assigned normals. The actual hierarchy with
separated exterior fields has these properties by the signed-expression estimates below. Refine i
with radius rate −s and parent recorded rate −t. Angular separation gives between-child palette
lower bounds at rate −s.

gives Gv = h. The common detector collar makes these operations admissible on the actual moving
palettes.
The lifted resolution source retains the complete combined integrand as an L1 object, its finite
election, shell indices and inherited continuation. CE10 transports its test norm; CE11 pays every
refined term; CE12–CE13 recover the unsliced pairing by continuous integration. Absolute Fubini
proves compatibility of permitted resolution orders. The reader does not split the cancellation-
bearing source into independently integrated monomials. CE14 records the exact continuation gain
that subsequent refinements must retain.

Let UX : X →XZ be the isometric

For k successively resolved groups, retain the full multi-index (n1, . . . , nk) and its complete
combined term. Its norm bound is Krn1+···+nk, with the fixed common constant supplied by the

The rectangular sums therefore recover the original pairing, and absolute Fubini permits every
resolution order allowed by the recorded forest. The bound concerns complete subtraction terms
only. For the empty list the recovery is the original integral without a shell sum. Finally the choice
γ = min(1, ε)/(τQ + 1) leaves εQ ≤ε, so Bw(εQ) ≤Bw(ε) for the same full radius register and the
same devices.

Continuation inheritance and the global contact distribution

w = Bw(a/Ri)Gv.
Its rate b + (t −s)Gv matches CE14.
On a subtraction halo choose an original-stage point differing only in Ni, as guaranteed by the
halo definition; for the remaining branch take the same point.
Normal constancy permits this
evaluation. Orthogonality leaves every other palette and expression unchanged. Substitution of

the child product with its fixed component treatment into the old tagged product is the refined
reading. The old path inequality gives b + (t −s)Gv + P
refined cj, proving the inheritance in CE11.
Continuity follows on the original-stage and normally collapsed-stage closed pieces and glues on
their agreeing restrictions, including continuations with previous Taylor cancellations; the auxiliary
continuation is thus justified at each step.
For explicit recovery of that inheritance, denote the old continuation by Cw and the finite child-
regrouping/component map by Mv.
The refined continuation is the actual composition Cw′ =
Cw ◦Mv, with all other tagged arguments fixed.
Its lifted version is the same composition of
the intertwined maps, so QXCZ
w′(J ·) = Cw(Mv( ·)). Here J denotes the product of the relevant
horizontal sections. For a path with radius rates −s, −t, the scalar price identity is
Bw′ = Bw(a/Ri)Gv,
rate Bw′ = b + (t −s)Gv,
rate Cw′ ≤b + (t −s)Gv +

refined parts
cj.
All three are unchanged by section/readout. In the remaining branch retain the support condition
t ≤s and the complete finite remainder; Li = 0 retains coarsening with gain zero. In the projected
branch retain its actual degree h and Gv = h. A halo evaluation is transported from the same
original-stage point differing only in Ni. Since JE preserves orthogonality, this move leaves every
other palette unchanged. The two closed-piece continuation maps agree on their intersection before
and after transport, so their glued continuous map is the same refined reading. Thus subsequent
refinements inherit the actual cancellations as well as their rate bound.
At each x ∈E, partition labels by equality of positions Px + o. Each part has zero normal
displacement and distinct-part subcentroids are distinct. On a sufficiently small closed ball normals
stay in the common collar and these separations have positive lower bounds. The same positive
s, 2s ≤B, works on these balls. The local forest estimate gives the test pairing for the equality
partition, and the expression overlap identity below identifies it with the single root prescription,
without assigning new overlap values. For compact test support K, take a finite such cover and
smooth subordinate θj. With N = (2 + P
i di)|g| we have NQ ≤N and ∥θjf∥CN ≤CK,j∥f∥CN .

distribution of finite order N. Its forest restrictions are the same test expression readings. This
holds for the unselected and every character reader, retaining s, finite projections and normal Taylor
convention. We next obtain a distribution on the whole allowed position space.
A score is a finite sum of field expressions tensored with linear test instructions; at x multiply
the field value by the instructed test. Products compose instructions in their prescribed order,
commuting for disjoint groups by orthogonal normals. Let

component decomposition used by CE3. Each Cg depends only on the test germ at x −πgx by
CE2; singleton normals are zero. For partitions Q, R both separated on a test support, Q
i∈Q Si
expands into corrections indexed by partitions refining Q, since choices of partitions inside its
parts are exactly such refinements. A term not refining R has a group crossing two R parts. At
its collapse those labels coincide, whereas they remain separated on the test support. Its germ-
dependent factor annihilates the test, which is zero near that collapsed locus. All such crossing
terms vanish as scores after multiplication by the test mask. Both expansions therefore reduce to
common refinements, as masked scores before evaluation and integration. This proves the overlap
identity even for nonnested Q, R used in CE15.
Finite score recursion and global distribution recovery.
For a test instruction D, define
its horizontal transport by DZfZ = (Df)QE. A score summand F ⊗D is transported to F Z ⊗DZ,
using the corresponding horizontal field section and the same tagged product. Denote this finite
linear transport by L. Its evaluation satisfies
evZ(LA, fQE)(JEx) = UX ev(A, f)(x),
(D1D2)Z = DZ
1 DZ
2 .
Thus the order of test instructions is preserved. For disjoint groups the transported normal projec-
tions and Taylor operations commute, exactly as in the original score.
The centroid field reader and its reshape are transported with the same fixed homogeneous
output spaces and basis. Induction on |g| then gives
CZ
g = LCg,
PZ
g = LPg,
SZ
g = LSg.
The base is the actual singleton field and identity instruction. Every proper partition contains only
smaller groups, and CE16’s finite sum uses the already intertwined centroid reader and normal
Taylor instruction. This proves the inductive step, including the empty correction when Lg = 0. It
also recovers the minus sign and normal jet order Lg −1 −h separately for every component.
For separated partitions Q, R, let T ⪯Q mean that T refines Q. On their common test support
the exact masked-score identity is

Here brackets denote action on the test before hierarchy evaluation. The bijection between choices
of partitions inside each part and refinements accounts for every term once. A crossing correction
annihilates the vanished germ at its normal collapse. Transport preserves that germ and the support
separation, so this same identity holds for L of each score. No nesting relation between Q and R
is required.
On a compact support K, transport the actual finite chart cover and its smooth masks by JE.
Let Aj be the local integral-norm constant for chart j, after fixing its frames and devices. The

The first inequality uses linearity of the single root prescription; the overlap identity identifies each

s (fQE) = Ss(f).
The same fixed-support seminorm bound proves continuity of the lifted functional on each test
space and hence on the compactly supported smooth test-function space. Its order remains at most
N. Forest restriction commutes with these identities since it uses the same test score. This recovers
the unselected reading and each character reading with the fixed length s, projections and normal
Taylor convention retained in the contact source.
For the initial continuation, retain a finite signed-expression proof tree. Leaves are bounded
degree-d labels priced R−d and the unit priced one. Products require palette separation by a positive
multiple of common radius and multiply prices. Carrying to R′ is allowed for diameter O(R) around
the center and R = O(R′). Subtracting full projection through h costs (R/R′)h+1 with that size
condition and fixed reader clearance. Degree-h projection costs (R/R′)h, collapses its palette to
the center and requires no ratio bound. Palette enlargement is permitted. Along logarithmic paths
the full field, separated product, coarsening and tested projection/remainder estimates prove each
price by finite induction, retaining a remainder as its signed difference. Compact normalization of
all log radii and the strict surcharge margin give the uniform bound

Output testing at degree h adds Rh. Separated exterior fields have fixed clearance and bounded
norms with radius one, so these bounds and hierarchy continuity supply the initial continuation.
An additional root projection or remainder is allowed when its whole palette fits the root detector
collar; its price is Rh or Rh+1 respectively. Apply it after forming the root expression and before
testing the lower forest; CE14 preserves that price under shell refinement.
The lifted global contact source retains its finite score recursion, test germ instructions and local
equality partitions. Its overlap reader is equality of masked scores, so partition-of-unity assembly
recovers one root prescription. CE15 proves continuity of its integral readout with the original finite
derivative order. The signed proof tree and exact price update preserve previous cancellations and
root operations; the contact distribution is recovered with these chosen devices, rather than from
punctured values alone.
Signed-expression price recovery.
Retain the finite expression tree together with each ra-
dius register, center, palette and price. The horizontal field section intertwines the actual fixed
projections: for a degree reader Πh and its finite sum Π≤h,
ΠZ
h J = JΠh,
(1 −ΠZ
≤h)JE = J(E −Π≤hE).
Products use the recorded separated palettes; carrying and palette enlargement retain the same
physical positions and centers. Thus induction over the finite tree recovers its expression and price
at every node. In particular the price updates remain exactly
p(E1E2) = p(E1)p(E2),
p(rem≤h E) = p(E)(R/R′)h+1,
p(ΠhE) = p(E)(R/R′)h.
These are the assigned prices on the permitted operations, not norm identities. The remaining
component is the displayed signed difference; its two pieces are not priced separately. The remainder
operation retains R = O(R′) and clearance, whereas the degree projection retains its original
absence of a ratio bound and its collapsed center palette.
The viewer map is transported by

recover the
stated uniform all-viewer bound. Exterior words at radius one introduce no new radius loss. A
root output or remainder is retained in its original position in the tree, after forming the root field
and before testing the lower forest; its Rh or Rh+1 price is preserved by CE14.

Normalized contact scaling and compatible finite cutoffs
For normal scaling R retain the normalized test
fR(x) = R−νgf(x −πgx + R−1πgx).
(CE17)
The frame multiplying Ng by R and fixing its complement has determinant Rνg, while fR composed
with it is R−νgf. These cancel exactly. The one-root budget becomes Ru−ωg−ε, where u = 0 for
the full reading, u = h for degree-h output and u = h + 1 for remainder through h. Thus
Z
∥Ks(fR)(x)∥dx ≤C∥f∥CN{g}Ru−ωg−ε.
(CE18)
It is uniform on permitted normalized supports and chart parameters. The subtraction length
can be fixed or vary under the same halo, support and clearance conditions; it need not equal
R. If f vanishes near the total diagonal N⊥
g , its normal jets annihilate Cg in CE16. Hence full
and punctured scores agree on these tests even if proper-subcluster collision sets are met. Every
positive normal annulus qualifies, also after scaling, with no uniform lower bound on its hole. CE18
therefore bounds full, output and remainder punctured pairings with the same constants.
Normalized normal-test recovery.
Set SR = (1 −πg) + Rπg, so S−1
R = (1 −πg) + R−1πg and
fR = R−νgf ◦S−1
R . On the horizontal copy use SZ
R = JESRQE. Then
(fZ)R = fRQE,
(fZ)R ◦SZ
R = R−νgfZ,
| det SZ
R| ∥(fZ)R ◦SZ
R∥CN = ∥f∥CN .
The determinant is taken in the transported orthonormal frame; it is Rνg.
Thus the one-root
volume, normalized test and scalar continuation price combine as
Rνg R−νg RuR−ωgR−ε = Ru−ωg−ε.
This recovers CE18 for each of its three root readers with the same finite derivative count, permis-
sible support and subtraction length. Moreover SR preserves N⊥
g and is invertible for each R > 0.
A test vanishing in a neighborhood of that subspace retains this property under normalization. Its
normal jets vanish, so CE16’s root correction vanishes exactly and the punctured and full pairings
coincide. Proper-subcluster collisions may remain in the support; they are treated by the retained
lower corrections. The recovery uses only a positive annulus hole at each test, with no uniform
lower bound on it and no requirement s = R.
Choose real bases simultaneously in homogeneous contact grades. This is a coordinate basis for
the strata of the already fixed splitting; it does not replace the OPE prescription or its projection
functionals. The strata are invariant under conjugation and rotations since their lower-grade maps
intertwine them. Conjugation-fixed vectors span each stratum by real/imaginary decomposition; a
maximal independent real subset is a finite complex basis. In degree zero start with the nonzero
real unit and extend it. Expand any field into its finite homogeneous parts and basis coordinates.

Multilinearity extends the score from these basis inputs, retaining each actual homogeneous degree
in CE16. Higher ambient horizons change none of these parts, so this linear extension is well defined.

Then tn > 0, 4tn+1 < tn, tn →0 and 2(n + 1)tn ≤clearance(n). Take b0(s) = 1, and the prescribed
smooth bn, n > 0, equal one for s ≤tn and zero for s ≥2tn. They are locally finite for s > 0; if
bk(s) ̸= 0 with k > n, strict threshold spacing forces bn(s) = 1. The last active index N(s) exists
and tends to infinity as s ↓0. Active k > 0 obey ks ≤clearance(k), since s < 2tk. For fixed C this
gives eventually Cs ≤clearance(N(s)). Define

Local finiteness gives smoothness for positive s, also when the last index changes. Biorthogonality
gives exactly

For s ≤tn all rows through n have weight one, so projection through n is precisely the original finite
reader. Slowing thresholds to meet any further positive fn preserves these identities. No conver-
gence in the growing horizon is asserted. The affordable-expression rules, logarithmic compactness
and mixed-label inclusions used here are the UC1–UC3 constructions below.
The lifted normalized-test source includes the normal volume and scaling frame; its integral
reader cancels the Jacobian against CE17 exactly. Restriction away from total collapse recovers
the punctured score while retaining proper-subcluster corrections. The basis and threshold source
retains every finite row and its biorthogonal insertion. CE19 recovers each fixed finite reader exactly
below its threshold, so a variable cutoffintroduces no replacement of the finite reader assumed in
the contact estimates.

The same formulas on the horizontal copy give JvR and JvI. A maximal complex-linearly inde-
pendent subset of these fixed vectors spans, since otherwise the displayed decomposition supplies
another independent fixed vector. Transport therefore gives the identical finite real system basis,
including the unit in degree zero. The rotation representation transports on the whole stratum;
individual basis vectors may mix. For a finite homogeneous expansion in each input, multilinearity
gives the exact finite basis sum of scores. Applying Q to that sum recovers the original contact
score term by term, with the assigned homogeneous degrees unchanged when its ambient horizon
is raised.
The positive sequence tn is part of the retained source data. Inductively 0 < tn ≤gn ≤fn

so bn(s) = 1; for n = 0 this follows from b0 = 1. On a compact positive interval s ≥a > 0, all indices
with 2tn ≤a vanish identically, which proves local finiteness and smoothness without differentiating
the last-active-index function. For each fixed m, s ≤tm activates every index through m; hence

Let rx,n denote the fixed degree-n row and Ix,j its biorthogonal row insertion used in CE19.
Transport both maps with the same horizontal sections of their domain and output. Their compo-

Here Jn is the degree-n output section and the last identity uses the fixed finite projection on its

growing horizon required. Any additional positive requested bounds are imposed in gn before the
same recursion; they retain all these exact row identities.

Uniform subpower bounds and arbitrary-label contact scores
Let R1, . . . , Rm ∈(0, 1] be the finite radius registers on a configuration set U, with positive bill q
and normed reading F. Assume that on every nontrivial filtered sequence with increasing T →∞,
log Ra/T →−sa, 0 ≤sa ≤1, the bill has an exact rate c and F has upper rate at most c. Then
for every ε > 0 one finite constant gives

If not, select violations with C = en. Put pn,a = −log Ra(wn), Sn = P
a pn,a and Tn = n + Sn. On
an ultrafilter refining the sequence tail, compactness of finitely many coordinates gives pn,a/Tn →sa
and n/Tn →k, with k + P
a sa = 1. The path hypothesis gives upper rate c for F, whereas the
violating comparison quantity enq(wn) Q
a Ra(wn)−ε has exact rate c+k+ε P
a sa > c; the increment
is positive because k and all sa are nonnegative and their sum is one. A quantity of strictly larger
exact rate eventually exceeds one of smaller upper rate, contradicting every chosen violation. The
added n covers radii bounded away from zero. All bills here are generated by constants, positive
radii, products and fixed real powers and thus have exact rates. No uniform intermediate OPE
horizon or threshold across paths is required to obtain this ordinary uniform layer bound.
Let M(d)
a
: E≤d →E≤a be the fixed homogeneous splittings. At fixed chart, partition and route
the homogeneous contact score is multilinear before integration: its grade-transport identity, with
other inputs fixed, is a linear map. Hence addition and scalar multiplication hold in that slot for
the full expression-valued score. For arbitrary labels set

inclusion compatibility; each added tuple has some ai > di, whose component is zero. Multilinearity
kills that term. Thus cap independence holds at expression level. On distinct-configuration test
supports, each homogeneous contact image is its ordinary field product times the test. The exact
identity

and finite product expansion recover the mixed-label word. Allowed spectator evaluation gives
the separated correlation times the test. Per-grade integral bounds permit termwise integration of
the finite sum, giving the full field-space extension with its prescribed separated restriction. The
lifted uniform-bound source retains the actual radius-power bill, clock and all path hypotheses; the
compact violation argument recovers one finite UC1 constant without selecting a different reader
for each radius. Its mixed-label source retains the coherent splitting and the finite score tuple.
UC2 commutes exactly with cap inclusion and separated readout; finite integration preserves these
identities. Consequently extension to arbitrary labels loses no homogeneous component or assigned
degree.

sa = ε + (1 −ε)k ≥min(1, ε) > 0.
Thus the contradiction retains a strictly positive margin even when all radius rates vanish, in which
case k = 1. Taking the viewer as part of the selected configuration retains the same argument for
varying characters and the unselected reading, under the original path hypotheses. This transports
the common constant without assuming that intermediate path-dependent horizons or thresholds
are uniform.

transport already defined. UC2 then gives exactly

d (J≤d1f1, . . . , J≤dkfk) = LBd(f1, . . . , fk).
Every sum here is finite before score evaluation or integration.
For larger caps d′
i ≥di, split-
ting/inclusion coherence makes each old summand identical and each new summand zero in a slot
with ai > di. Consequently both sides are independent of that cap enlargement as expression-valued
scores, not only after testing. For homogeneous inputs only their own tuple remains.

The product retains its original order. The same finite expansion holds for transported insertions,
scores and any allowed spectator. The finite sum of the per-grade integral bounds supplies integra-
bility of the mixed score and permits termwise integration. Applying its horizontal readout therefore
recovers the separated mixed-label correlation with the original test function, while retaining every
actual homogeneous degree used in its contact correction.

Projection gain, tested funds and safe probes
At clock T, an expression is affordable at layer s, cost c, if it is a finite sum of separated words
whose coefficient of total weight D has upper rate c −sD. Along a logarithmic clock T, an upper
rate c means a bound by e(c+δ)T eventually for every δ > 0. This is closed under finite sums, scalar
rate addition and eventual equality, with its finite position palette.
A precision-q tested error,
multiplied by any separated affordable spectator of terminal layer one and cost b, has expectation
upper rate q + b, for the unselected and every possibly varying character. An expression has funds
(s, c) if it has a finite terminal affordability bound and, at every requested precision, agrees to
that precision with an affordable expression of layer s, cost c. For palette radius rate e−sT and
0 ≤u < s ≤1, one-scale OPE gives a centered finite approximation at layer u to arbitrary precision:
choose horizon n so n(s −u) pays the precision deficit. Retained output of weight d has coefficient
rate c −ds. This horizon may depend on path and precision; uniformity is obtained later by UC1.
Finite sums and an existing tested error give this replacement for all expressions with funds. A
centered finite sum with these rates has weight-w row rate c−ws: lower weights vanish and higher-
weight splitting uses fixed linear maps. For a general funded expression, test its error against the
row’s finite detectors, rotations and conjugates, outside its fixed aperture. A field of weight below
w gives zero, while splitting a field of weight at least w applies a fixed linear map and cannot worsen
its coefficient rate. Their distances are bounded below and their layer is zero. If their fixed weight
sum is probeFee(w), the row error rate is at most q + probeFee(w); choose precision to pay that
fee. The row bound and finite-projection funds follow. Arbitrary varying rotations preserve rates
by finite-dimensional covariance and compactness; selecting a violating rotation would contradict
this pathwise bound. Hence normalized Haar averaging, conjugation and finite decoding preserve
the same rate without interchanging nonuniform limits; this proves the detector-row estimate. The
projection gain underlying (UC1) can now be made precise.
For the prescribed finite projection the exact gain rule is
Funds(s, c; e) =⇒Funds
 u, c −(w + 1)(s −u); e −Π≤we
,
u ≤s.
(UC3)
For centered sums all weights through w cancel and every remaining d ≥w + 1 obeys c −ds ≤
c −(w + 1)(s −u) −du. For general e, approximate at precision min(q, q −maxFee(w) −wu), with
maxFee(w) = Pw
j=0 probeFee(j). Projection of the error costs at most maxFee(w) + wu, so both
errors fit precision q. Subtract them and apply the finite sum result. At u = s simply subtract
the projected affordable expression with zero gain. Repeated UC3 supplies each signed ancestor
move’s full w +1 gain in the contact forest. Funds multiply across separated layer-s palettes, s ≤1,
by adding costs. For e, f with funds (s, c), (s, d) and finite terminal costs a, b, first approximate e
by g at precision q −b. Then enlarge g to terminal layer one and record its actual finite cost c′.

Approximate f by h at precision q −c′. The identity
ef −gh = (e −g)f + (f −h)g
puts both errors at precision q, while concatenation makes gh affordable at cost c + d. Induct over
finite separated families. This ordered choice is essential: terminal cost can greatly exceed the
outgoing layer cost, so it is recorded before requesting the next approximation; no uniform bound
over horizons is imposed. The arbitrary-precision definition is exactly what permits this successive
choice. For expectation against a spectator of layer v ≥s, cost q, first record its terminal cost b,
then approximate e at precision c + q −b. Direct separated bounds and error testing both give rate
c + q. The empty spectator gives expectation rate c, uniformly over characters. This closes the
multiplication and expectation rules.
Tested-funds and finite-gain recovery.
Lift a finite word using the same ordered labels and
positions, and retain its scalar coefficient and total weight. Its coefficient rate c −sD is unchanged.
For any allowed terminal spectator v and transported viewer χZ, the exact scalar identity is
⟨eZvZ⟩χZ = ⟨ev⟩χ.
The same identity holds for the unselected hierarchy. The horizontal section and readout therefore
transport affordability, precision-q tested errors and finite terminal bounds in both directions on
the retained expression class. In particular the funds quantifier remains “for every precision q, there
exists a finite approximation,” with that approximation allowed to depend on the path and q. No
common horizon is inserted in this transport.
For a fixed row of weight w, transport its actual detector family, aperture, rotations, conjugates
and finite decoding maps. Positions are unchanged, so the fixed positive placement distances and
layer zero are unchanged. Its error estimate retains the exact fee q +probeFee(w). Given any extra
rate tolerance δ > 0, choose the precision to satisfy q +probeFee(w) ≤c−ws+δ. This recovers the
row rate c −ws from the affordable approximation. Varying rotations are retained as part of the
tested path. The resulting eventual uniform bound over rotations bounds their normalized Haar
integral by that same bound; horizontal transport commutes with this finite-dimensional integral.
Thus the full averaged reader, including conjugation and decoding, has the recovered row estimate.
For UC3 put Kw = maxFee(w) + wu and q0 = min(q, q −Kw).
If a is the chosen finite
approximation, the exact residual identity is
(e −Π≤we) −(a −Π≤wa) = (e −a) −Π≤w(e −a),
q0 ≤q,
q0 + Kw ≤q.
Both tested errors therefore meet precision q before and after horizontal transport. For a surviving
weight d ≥w + 1,
[c −(w + 1)(s −u) −du] −(c −ds) = (d −w −1)(s −u) ≥0.
This recovers precisely the cost gain and its u = s zero-gain case.
For separated products the successive precision requests remain q−b for e−g, followed only after
recording g’s finite terminal cost c′ by q−c′ for f −h. The two errors in ef −gh = (e−g)f +(f −h)g
then have rates at most q; their finite sum has the same upper rate. The product approximation
retains cost c + d and the original separated palette. For a spectator of layer v ≥s, outgoing cost
q and terminal cost b, the request c + q −b gives error rate c + q, equal to the direct approximation
bound. These identities transport the multiplication and expectation rules, including the empty

spectator and varying viewers, without replacing the recorded terminal costs by outgoing costs or
suppressing the signed residuals.
For the earlier equation lift, replace any step traversing a forbidden stored positive edge (in
either direction) by three steps: one in a different coordinate, the desired step, then its inverse
transverse step. Endpoints agree and the forbidden edge is avoided. Replacing all offending steps
gives an avoiding cover path between any two sites. An axes-i < j plaquette can use a forbidden
edge based at b only if its base lies in {b, b −ei, b −ej}, as listing its four stored positive edges
shows. Outside this finite set both an avoiding transport to its base and its boundary avoid the
edge, giving the safe probes used by the finite-dimensional span argument. For the finitely many
used cover edges, choose torus side larger than twice the largest absolute base coordinate, including
the forbidden base, plus one. Centered wrapping then recovers all bases, preserves distinct stored
edges and makes the link variation change no path factor. Thus holonomies, curvatures, adjoint
transports and finite products are exactly unchanged, uniformly under stencil translation. Take
the maximum finite threshold for the marking identity.
The lifted funds source retains finite approximants, their actual terminal costs, detector fees and
signed projection residuals. UC3 is its coarsening reader with paid error; ordered multiplication
preserves the complete difference rather than only its separate terms. UC1 then recovers a uniform
radius bound from these pathwise readers. The safe-probe source retains the avoiding cover paths
and finite wrapping threshold, so its torus readout recovers exact independence of the varied link
without a limiting approximation.
Avoiding-probe readout recovery.
For a step from x to x+εei traversing the forbidden stored
edge, choose j ̸= i and retain the ordered detour
x −→x + ej −→x + ej + εei −→x + εei,
ε ∈{1, −1}.
Its transverse stored edges have direction j, and its middle stored edge is the translated direction-i
edge, so none equals the forbidden stored edge. Its endpoints are identical to the original step. The
detour is a new recorded probe path; no equality with the original path’s holonomy is assumed.
The ordered positive stored edges in an (i, j) plaquette based at x are based at x, x + ei, x + ej, x,
with directions i, j, i, j, respectively; its last two occurrences are reversed. This recovers the stated
finite excluded-base set.
Let E be the finite used stored-edge set of the resulting probes. Choose M to bound all base
coordinates relative to the stencil anchor, including the forbidden base, and take side N > 2M + 1.
Wrapping is then injective on these bases and preserves directions. After any common translation
the same relative-coordinate statement holds. If Ve,τ varies only the forbidden physical link, each
probe reading H therefore satisfies exactly
H(Ve,τU) = H(U),
HZ(z) = H(πz),
HZ(σVe,τU) = HZ(σU).
Here π and σ are the configuration realization and section. The finite products and adjoint trans-
ports inherit this equality, so every defined link derivative of the probe is zero. The finite maximum
of these side thresholds recovers the same marking identity.

transport labels and derivatives to that comparator, and finite determining position tests fix the
prescribed calibration columns. An exact normalization of these finite columns is a statement about
those tests; it is not equality of every interacting moment with its Gaussian value at a finite scale.
Private Gaussian marks, corrected bilinear covariances and the occurrence recursion recover
the whole separated kernel and its fixed derivatives. The scalar return and annular quadrature
estimates retain their Fourier measures, powers of the scale and normalization.
The Gaussian
prefactor amendment of Appendix I.1 fixes the earlier finite integration convention; it does not
authorize a new normalization of these later kernels. Only their stated errors tend to zero, and the
weak-sequence comparison by itself supplies no interpolation to every positive small radius. The
later trace argument provides the distinct all-distance passage for its specified selected observable.

Transported infinitesimal rotations also converge; the real conserved stress space is one-dimensional.
The free translation-normalized comparator T 0,tr is the negative of the original Wick Maxwell tensor.
To fix the sign, if the same T and nonzero derivative family D satisfy translation shell identities
with both cD, c′D, subtraction and separated exterior testing give (c −c′)D = 0, so c = c′ by field
separation. The explicit Maxwell tensor has convention −D0; compare with the constructed tensor

preserves the source’s normalization T 0,tr = −T 0,Wick and its one-dimensional real conserved stress
space.
For completeness expand the finitely many pulled-back labels in fixed free bases. Write ck,A for
the finite product of their coordinates and Wk,A for the corresponding mean basis moment at scaled
positions; let c0,A, W0,A denote their limits. For every fixed position multi-index α and compact
distinct set K, the exact finite expansion gives

Coefficients are position independent, bounded and convergent; the free derivatives are bounded
on K. Every lifted term has the identical scalar readout, so this also recovers arbitrary mixed
stress-slot compact jets. The sequence, frames and continuum witness remain the same for all the
fixed finite choices in the source; no interpolation in the scale parameter is used.
22.2
Finite position tests and exact frame normalization
At finite horizon d let Bd be the real space of small endomorphisms b annihilating the unit, preserving
each lower filtration space and commuting with conjugation, signed symmetries and multiplication
by i. Set
Mb = I + b.
(PT2)
It is complex linear and near zero invertible by geometric series, fixing the unit and the stated
structures. The determining tests choose bk →0 and frame Uk,dMbk. At degree four all lower
fields are fixed exactly: for simple gauge algebra the free spaces below four consist of unit multiples,
whose degree inclusions remain the unit, annihilated by b. A test i has finite arity ni, labels vij ∈E0
d
and smooth compact complex profile ψi supported on distinct configurations. Let Λ be a finite real
linear combination of real readings. In a complex basis ea, let w contain every profile-integrated

If all real derivatives vanish, using iψ also kills imaginary parts. Smooth compact test separation
and continuity give pointwise vanishing on distinct configurations. Rigidity forces b = 0, so these
real functionals separate B4. Choose finitely many spanning their dual span; their combined map
is injective and has a linear left inverse. Use it and coordinates on B4 as Λ. Then PT3’s derivative
is that coordinate isomorphism, proving PT4 with all profiles away from collisions. The finite-
dimensional implicit-function theorem gives a locally unique smooth φ near w0
Q such that
φ(w0
Q) = 0,
CQ(w, φ(w)) = CQ(w0
Q, 0).
(PT6)
For nearby (w, b) equality holds exactly when b = φ(w). Polynomial smoothness and PT4 supply
its hypotheses. The actual mean array wQ(k) uses Uk,dea at rkx. Compact separated convergence
gives wQ(k) →w0
Q: each integrated error is bounded by its supremum on the fixed compact profile
support times ∥ψi∥L1. The compact-profile convergence needed in (PT7) requires no distribution
extension through collisions. The lifted comparison source retains the common sequence, frames
and Ward-normalized tensor, rather than separately selecting stress and regular limits. Its finite-
test reader is the polynomial PT3 with the complete basis moment array. PT4–PT6 recover the
unique small frame correction from that array; preserving the profile and coordinate data makes
this calibration explicit. The rigidity dependency is retained for the ensuing degree-four calculation.
22.3
Exact frame correction and finite numerical jets
Set
bk = φ(wQ(k)).
(PT7)
Then bk →0, Mbk is eventually invertible, and PT6 gives exact determining equations in the inter-
acting mean hierarchy. This identifies the correction chosen by the local map with the correction
appearing in the endpoint. Finite-basis expansion and interchange of finite sums with integrable
profiles identify these equations with PT3. For any other finite separated test collection R, conti-
nuity gives
CR(wR(k), bk) −→CR(w0
R, 0).
(PT8)
Thus exact normalization preserves every other leading position test.
Finite-test calibration and frame recovery.
The calibration source records the finite basis,
every basis-tuple moment, the actual profiles, input labels and real map Λ.
The lifted mean
moments have identical scalar readouts, so their profile arrays satisfy wZ
Q(k) = wQ(k) exactly in
these recorded coordinates. Hence the full polynomial, not only its derivative, is recovered:
CZ
Q(w, b) = CQ(w, b),
∂bCZ
Q(w0
Q, 0) = ∂bCQ(w0
Q, 0).
Here the free calibration coordinates b ∈Bd are kept unchanged; the interacting frame carries the
horizontal lift. The real derivative in a direction  ̇b is explicitly
∂bCQ(w, 0)[ ̇b] = Λ

Re
ni
X
j=1
Di(w; vi1, . . . ,  ̇bvij, . . . , vini)


.
Thus PT5 is recovered by the same finite multilinear expansion and profile integral. Replacing a
profile by iψ recovers its imaginary functional as well. The source’s ensuing rigidity result makes
their common kernel zero at degree four. Thus the degree-four adjustment is compatible with the
408

already chosen frames in degrees zero through three. Choosing an injective finite combined deriva-
tive L and a left inverse A, the prescribed real coordinate map can be written Λ = coord ◦A; then
ΛL = coord. The horizontal translation retains L, A and this coordinate isomorphism, recovering
PT4 with the same profiles and the same rigidity dependency.
Since the entire polynomial and base point agree, local uniqueness in PT6 gives the identical
correction function φ in these coordinates. In particular
bZ
k = φ(wZ
Q(k)) = bk,
bUZ
k,d = JdUk,d(I + bk),
Qd bUZ
k,d = Uk,d(I + bk).

The finite filtration, unit, conjugation and signed symmetry laws are retained by this inverse and
the correction. At horizon four all included degree-zero through degree-three fields are fixed exactly,
since their unit multiples are annihilated by bk.
For each profile the unchanged integral error estimate is ∥ψi∥L1 times the corresponding compact
moment error. It proves wZ
Q(k) →w0
Q, hence bk →0, while the determining equations hold exactly
for all sufficiently large k. Any other fixed finite profile collection has its same transported array
wR(k) and therefore the same PT8 continuity limit. Thus calibration preserves the other leading
position tests on the original common sequence and adjusts the frame by the exact local solution,
with no independent selection of moments or stress data.
For a fixed finite torus of side greater than one, let wQ,l(m) be order-lcoefficients of its regulated
profile series; order zero tends to w0
Q as m →∞. At fixed finite formal horizon p, the polynomial
cQ,p,m(t) = Pp
l=0 tlwQ,l(m) is used only for numerical derivatives, without convergence of the full
series. For sufficiently large m its base point, which tends to w0
Q, is in the PT6 neighborhood,
so CQ(c(t), φ(c(t))) is identically the prescribed constant near zero. All positive derivatives vanish
exactly and the zeroth one has that value. Another query has order-zero numerical reading
CR(wR,0(m), φ(wQ,0(m))) −→CR(w0
R, 0).
(PT9)
Subtracting at m = k from PT8 gives difference tending to zero on the actual-theory sequence.
Order zero is independent of p. This calibrates each finite determining jet and compares other
profiles at order zero; it does not compare every higher coefficient to the interacting theory. PT6
local uniqueness makes every other small correction solving the same equations eventually equal
to PT7. Together with PT2 this retains all frame symmetries and exactly fixes raised lower fields
through degree three.
Finite numerical-jet recovery.
Retain each regulated coefficient array as a separate numerical
entry, with its finite formal horizon p and mesh index m. Equality of the scalar coefficient readouts
gives

dj
dtj cQ,p,m(0) = j!wQ,j(m)
(0 ≤j ≤p).
The polynomial curve starts at wQ,0(m), so for each sufficiently large m it lies in the local calibration
neighborhood for t near zero. Write HQ(w) = CQ(w, φ(w)) there. PT6 makes HQ the constant
CQ(w0
Q, 0), whence

The identical polynomial and correction function recover this equality in the lift at every retained
finite horizon. No infinite series is evaluated. For a different query put ak = CR(wR(k), bk) and
dk = CR(wR,0(k), φ(wQ,0(k))). Both converge to a0 = CR(w0
R, 0), so explicitly
∥ak −dk∥≤∥ak −a0∥+ ∥dk −a0∥−→0.
The second reading uses only order-zero arrays and is independent of p. The same local uniqueness
recovers the eventual equality of any other small correction satisfying the determining equations.
This retains exactly the finite calibration and order-zero comparison scope of the source.
22.4
Degree-four rigidity of the position tests
The free degree-four basis is the unit together with unordered plane-pair curvature labels
ec =
X
α
F α
abF α
uv.
(PT10)
Each plane has increasing-axis orientation; reversing one changes sign and swapping the two planes
preserves the product. The free quotient calculation supplies this basis and dual coordinates l∗, lc.
At separation (e0, 0) curvature pairings are diagonal on six planes with nonzero γp. Wick contraction
gives
⟨v(e0)ec(0)⟩0 = aclc(v),
ac ̸= 0.
(PT11)
Repeated planes have two equal pairings; distinct planes have their single matching pairing. The
coefficient is the product of nonzero curvature factors, dim g and its nonzero multiplicity, absorbed
in the dual normalization. Expectation is the unit coordinate. For zero unit coordinate the re-
versed pairing has the same formula. Basis expansion proves these identities without requiring
this bilinear form to be positive definite. For c = (p, q) define parity p△q. Axis reflection gives
sign minus precisely on axes in that set. Commutation with reflections forces bcd = lc(bed) = 0
for different parities. Equal parities admit an involutive axis permutation exchanging the plane
pairs up to orientation and swap. If parity is empty both repeat a plane and a transposition or
double disjoint transposition exchanges the planes. If it has two elements, each pair consists of
two planes sharing one of the other two axes; exchange those common axes when they differ. For
size four, a transposition exchanges the different complementary-plane partitions. Identical pairs
use the identity. These lie among identity, six transpositions and three double disjoint transposi-
tions. The induced exchange signs agree, since squaring the involution is identity on nonzero basis
vectors. Commutation gives bcd = bdc. Also ac = ad within parity: multiplicities agree, absolute
curvature factors agree and the product of curvature signs at the axis-zero separation depends only
on whether zero is in parity. If PT5 vanishes for every tuple, arity one gives l∗(bv) = 0; arity two
gives
⟨(bv)(e0)w(0)⟩0 + ⟨v(e0)(bw)(0)⟩0 = 0.
(PT12)
Taking v = ec, w = ed yields adbdc + acbcd = 0. Different-parity entries vanish already; equal-parity
symmetry gives 2acbcd = 0, so all vanish. The unit column is zero since b1 = 0 and its row by arity
one. Thus b = 0, closing PT4’s determining-test existence proof through degree four.
Degree-four basis and rigidity readout.
Transport the source’s actual free quotient basis
and its dual by eZ
c = J4ec, 1Z = J41, and lZ
c = lcQ4, lZ

bZ = J4bQ4. Then

The horizontal free reader here is the transported free Wick reader.
The oriented-plane signs,
unordered products and fixed multiplicities are retained, so no new positivity convention enters
PT11.
Reflection characters and the finite signed axis permutations are conjugated by J4, Q4.
They therefore give the same parity blocks, zero off-block matrix entries and symmetric within-
block entries.
On the curvature-label block let D = diag(ac). The arity-two identity is exactly
Db + bTD = 0.
Within each parity block D = acI with ac ̸= 0, and the source’s involutions give bT = b on that
block. Thus the recovered identity is 2acb = 0 there. Every off-block entry already vanishes; the
unit column is zero from b1 = 0 and the unit row from arity one. The same full matrix is recovered
by the dual coordinates after horizontal transport, so bZ = 0 on its horizontal domain if and only
if b = 0. This recovers the precise degree-four rigidity used for the determining derivative, with its
quotient-basis and free contraction dependencies intact.
For the physical stress limit let the nonzero raw centered conserved tensor satisfy Jraw =
c center(T), c ̸= 0, by the one-dimensional divergence kernel.
The centered physical tensor is
nonzero because its translation charge differentiates a nonzero field. Shell identities and field sepa-
ration give Draw = cD. If ξk ̸= 0 is the preliminary comparison scale, weak derivative comparison
gives c/ξk →κ0 ̸= 0. Rescaling the raw limit therefore yields
U−1
k,4(r4
k center(T)) −→κ−1
0 T 0.
(PT13)
The difference from T is a fixed unit tensor whose inverse-scaled contribution is r4
k times that
unit and tends to zero, with eventual exact unit identifications. Ward normalization above gives
κ0 = −1. The same factor (c/ξk)−1 normalizes the preliminary angular-generator limit, giving
the final rotation limit. For compact separated profiles no contact extension is used: if fk →f0

|fk −f0| ≤∥ψ∥1δ < ε.
The lifted calibration source retains finite formal curves separately from actual hierarchy arrays.
PT7 reads their unique small frame correction, and PT9 recovers only the asserted numerical
order-zero comparison. The plane-pair basis, parity action and Wick coefficients supply an explicit
injective derivative reader, recovering b from the determining tests. PT13 retains the charge nor-
malization and exact unit removal, recovering the same physical stress sign used in all mixed-slot
limits.
Physical stress and compact-profile recovery.
With the horizontal maps on degree four, the
raw/physical relation and Ward derivative relation recover exactly as
J4Jraw = cJ4 center(T),
JDraw = cJD.
The same nonzero c and comparison scale ξk are retained.
Before any limit the normalization
identity in free coordinates is

k,4(r4

Using (UZ
k,4)−1 = U−1
k,4Q4 makes this identical for lifted tensors. Since c/ξk →κ0 ̸= 0, it recovers
PT13 and the same normalization of the angular generator. Write T −center(T) = λ1 componen-
twise, with fixed λ. Exact unit identification gives
(UZ
k,4)−1 r4
kJ4(T −center(T))
 = r4
kλ10 −→0.
Thus horizontal recovery retains the Ward-normalized sign κ0 = −1 and the full physical tensor,
including the vanishing center correction. For each separated compact profile the finite moment
readout is unchanged; its Bochner integral error remains bounded by ∥ψ∥1 times the uniform
moment error on its support. This recovers the actual arrays without any contact extension.
22.5
Moving Gaussian rows and normalized profile sums
Smooth separated moments make the preceding profile integrals ordinary Bochner integrals, proving
every component of wQ(k) →w0
Q. For numerical regulator arrays, order-zero Wilson coefficients
are Gaussian Wick contractions of reduced local polynomials. The common field-address identity
identifies these with the free labels. With fixed refinement base L > 1, denominator Lm, spacing
L−m and periods growing faster than each fixed polynomial margin, the Gaussian row limit holds
for every refining subsequence and moving grid tuple tending to distinct continuum positions. The
profile sum then gives
wQ,0(m) −→w0
Q.
(PT14)
Here are its normalization and convergence details. Let hm = D−1
m →0, Dm integer, and torus side
Nm satisfy hmNm →∞. Coordinate rounding in arity n gives
|ρmx −x| ≤4nhm.
(PT15)
Every bounded set eventually embeds without wrapping. Assume the joint moving limit: for every
subsequence mj, allowed x, and grid tuple oj embedded at positions tending to x, Kmj(oj) →K0(x).
This implies an eventual uniform bound on rounded points of any compact allowed set. Otherwise
choose values exceeding j at mj ≥j; compactness gives a convergent position subsequence, and
PT15 plus nonwrapping contradicts the moving limit. For a continuous compact profile ψ supported
in the allowed region put fm(x) = ψ(ρmx)Km(ρmx). It converges pointwise to ψ(x)K0(x); outside
closed support the rounded positions are eventually outside. If support lies in a radius-R ball,
these step functions lie in radius R + 4n for hm ≤1 and have one common bound there. They are
integrable, and dominated convergence applies. Every grid cell has volume h4n
m , so the integral is
exactly
h4n
m
X
o∈(Z/NmZ)4n
ψ(hmo)Km(o).
(PT16)
No wrapping occurs on the support. Arity zero has a one-point grid and space with cell volume
h0
m = 1, giving the same conclusion.
Moving-row and grid-integral recovery.
Retain the finite regulator row, mesh, period and
rounding cells in the source record. Write KZ
m for its lifted scalar reading; then KZ
m(o) = Km(o)
for every retained grid tuple. Consequently its joint moving limit and every selected violation of a
uniform compact bound are the identical scalar statements after recovery. A fixed compact profile
support lies inside a compact neighborhood of the allowed open region. For sufficiently fine meshes,
all rounded points relevant to its nonzero values lie in that neighborhood. The moving-limit bound
therefore gives some finite M with
|ψ(ρmx)KZ
m(ρmx)| ≤M∥ψ∥∞1{|x|≤R+4n}(x).
412


## Source page 416

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

This is an integrable common bound in the finite-dimensional configuration space. The transported
step function is literally the same function, so dominated convergence commutes with its readout.
For the actual rounding cell Cm,o the constant reading and its volume give the exact finite
identity
Z
Cm,o
ψ(ρmx)KZ
m(ρmx) dx = h4n
m ψ(hmo)Km(o).
Summing the cells intersecting the fixed support recovers PT16 with its full 4n-dimensional nor-
malization. Eventual nonwrapping uses the unchanged hmNm →∞. In arity zero this identity
is the one-point integral with weight one. Through the same field-address identity the reduced
order-zero polynomials represent the fixed free labels, so this profile recovery gives PT14 once the
corrected covariance and moving Wick-row limit below are supplied. Those remaining dependencies
are retained rather than replaced by an independent choice of continuum profile data.
Reduce the row limit to covariances by indexing every occurrence of every generator separately.
Write τ(a) for its insertion slot and ζa for its generator label. The order-zero Gaussian product
moment on a finite occurrence set A satisfies integration by parts:
|A|Mm(A) =
X
a∈A
X
b∈A\{a}
Cm(a, b)Mm(A \ {a, b}).
(PT17)
The empty moment is one by probability normalization. Continuum Wick moments obey the same
recursion with C0. Induction on |A|, the covariance limit and finite summation prove convergence
after division by the positive integer |A|.
Distinguishable occurrences preserve multiplicities of
repeated generators. Finite polynomial expansion then proves the limit for all allowed sections;
the field-address identity makes the limit exactly their free Wick moments, without a new fit.
Applying this along every refining subsequence gives PT16’s moving-limit hypothesis. The corrected
covariance limit, including its finite-regulator subtraction, is supplied next. For A = ∅, Mm(A) = 1
because the Gaussian law is a probability measure. The lifted row source retains occurrence indices,
reduced polynomial addresses, grid cells and their actual volume. Its Gaussian recursion reader
preserves multiplicities and normalized empty moments; its profile reader is PT16. Joint moving
convergence supplies the common bound needed by the integral reader, recovering PT14 without
a pointwise-only convergence substitution.
22.6
Private Gaussian marks and corrected bilinear covariance
Fix the maximal jet grade d in the row and its finite coordinate keys a.
The regulated real
potential Z has precision P and covariance P −1; its symmetrically averaged linear jet coordinate at
x is kT
h,x,aZ, using the perturbative integral’s same density. For sine/cosine waves, axes and color
labels c, define the infinite lattice subtraction matrix by their responses lh,a,c(p):
Sh(a, b) = (2π)−4
Z
[−π,π]4 δ(p)−1 X
c
lh,a,c(p)lh,b,c(p) dp.

Responses are bounded by continuity on the cube and δ−1 is integrable in four dimensions. Entries
exist, symmetry holds, and
vT Shv = (2π)−4
Z
δ(p)−1 X

Thus Sh is the covariance of a possibly degenerate real centered Gaussian vector, requiring no inverse.
Give each insertion i an independent such vector Yi, independent of Z, and set Xi,a = kT
h,xi,aZ+iYi,a.

Their bilinear covariance is
Ch((i, a), (j, b)) = kT
h,xi,aP −1kh,xj,b −1i=jSh(a, b).
(PT19)
Mixed terms vanish by independence/centering; private marks are independent across insertions
and their imaginary coefficients give the minus sign within one insertion. No conjugation occurs.
Same-slot entries need not vanish at finite regulator. The normalized perturbative constant term
is exactly the product of reduced insertion polynomials evaluated at these X and then averaged.
Weight and vacuum denominator have constant coefficient one. Each linear insertion’s constant
term is its physical coordinate plus imaginary private mark; finite polynomial expansion commutes
with constant extraction.
Private integration gives the prescribed within-insertion subtraction;
independence combines it with physical integration. Polynomial Gaussian integrability, from C(1+
∥z∥)q and finite Gaussian moments, justifies expansion and Fubini.
For a real centered linear
Gaussian probe of variance v, its moment generating function exp(vt2/2) gives ELr+1 = rvELr−1.

Complex multilinear expansion extends this from real probes, including degenerate laws. Repeated
generators retain distinct occurrences; the empty product is one. This is precisely PT17’s finite
recursion.
Private-mark source and exact polynomial recovery.
The source retains the real potential
law and a separately named private mark for each insertion. A concrete realization of a possibly
degenerate mark is Yi = S1/2
h
ηi, with independent standard real Gaussian vectors ηi, independent
also of Z. Its pushforward covariance is exactly Sh; the positive square root requires no inverse.
On the resulting product Gaussian source define the complex linear readout
Xi,a(Z, η1, . . . , ηn) = kT
h,xi,aZ + i(S1/2
h
ηi)a.
Private coordinates are indexed by insertion, not by distinct physical position or by generator name.
Thus repeated occurrences in one slot share its mark, while different slots retain independent marks.
The same readout on the horizontal potential copy uses the transported Gaussian law and coefficient
maps, giving precisely the original Xi,a. Its bilinear second moment is PT19, with i2 = −1 and no
conjugation. This preserves finite-regulator same-slot terms rather than setting them to zero.
For an insertion polynomial Qi and a fixed physical coordinate vector zi = (kT
h,xi,aZ)a, the
private integral has the exact finite polynomial form
EYiQi(zi + iYi) =


The exponential terminates on each polynomial. This follows by finite Taylor expansion and Gaus-
sian moments, or by comparing polynomial coefficients of the Gaussian generating function. Inde-
pendence of the marks gives, conditional on the same physical Z,
EY1,...,Yn
Y
i
Qi(zi + iYi) =

EYiQi(zi + iYi).
Integrating the physical law recovers exactly the normalized perturbative constant term.
The
weight and vacuum constant terms are one, so no additional denominator appears at this order.

Distinct occurrence variables preserve all repeated-generator multiplicities. The empty moment
remains one. Induction over |A| then transports PT17 exactly and, once the corrected covariance
limit is supplied, recovers every finite polynomial moving-row limit with the original field addresses.
The corrected covariance limit has two roles: for distinct limiting positions zi, zj it tends to the
Maxwell kernel K(ka, kb; zi −zj) on the corresponding free solution-jet functionals; for the same
slot it tends to zero:
Ch((i, a), (i, b)) −→0.

The lifted Gaussian source retains Z and the separate private Yi, with the same finite density and
explicit subtraction matrix. The polynomial reader is expectation after X = kT Z+iY ; PT19 proves
compatibility with the prescribed subtraction. Keeping bilinear rather than Hermitian covariance
recovers the sign and same-slot remainder exactly.
PT20 supplies the finite occurrence reader
without a covariance inverse, so degeneracy introduces no lost branch. The limit reader retains
both the cross-slot kernel and the corrected diagonal tending to zero rather than imposing Wick
subtraction prematurely.

Averaged reconstruction and corrected covariance limits

forms; integrability justifies interchange with the integral. The separated chart limit gives the same
free pairing for each summand. At equal endpoints the return chart limit makes each ordinary form
minus its shell form tend to zero. Finite averaging proves both PT21 and the separated limit. The
reporting schedule is
hm = L−m,
Nm = 4Lm2+m+1,
hmNm = 4Lm2+1,

Nm/4, so fixed stencil shifts of differences do not wrap and have the required physical limit. Sums
of positions are twice the quarter center plus bounded physical displacement; their lifts have a
coordinate at least Nm/4 in absolute value. Their physical distance tends to infinity, including
at coincident observed positions, supplying the inversion-image return condition. PT20 induction
now gives moments with zero within-insertion pairings and Maxwell cross-insertion pairings, exactly
the reduced free Wick rule. Finite polynomial expansion and PT15–PT16 give every moving row
and profile limit.
This completes the Gaussian constant-coefficient step needed in the leading
perturbative comparison.
An elementary stencil is a finite signed shifted-edge sum, with axis, offsets and ordered deriva-
tive list Da. Its two-point form consequently has four terms, with signs +, −, −, +. Its Fourier
polynomial factors into sign, translation character and difference multipliers. Multiplication gives
the exact identity

Multiplying by the inverse-Laplacian weight and summing identifies covariance with the differen-
tiated scalar torus kernel, including the same sign and factor h−|Da|−|Db|−2. On the infinite cover,
sum sine/cosine channels using cos u cos v+sin u sin v = cos(u−v). Unequal axes or colors give zero;
matching ones give the offset-difference cosine. Integration against (2π)−4δ−1 is the cover scalar
Green function, justified by | cos | ≤1 and integrability.
Curvature coordinates are differences
of two stencils, giving the same four signs +, −, −, + in torus covariance and cover subtraction.
PT24 reduces separated terms to scalar differentiated limits and inversion-image terms to the zero
far-distance limit. At coincidence subtract the cover value before rescaling: the return estimate
vanishes after any fixed inverse power of h by PT23. Finite array coordinate functionals span each
raw jet-response dual; bilinear expansion therefore extends these elementary limits to arbitrary
chart functionals in PT22; the responses are arrays of color components, vector-index pairs and
derivative-index words, so coordinate projections span the dual of each finite array space. The lifted
stencil source retains the exact Fourier factors, turns, relative endpoints and common torus/cover
subtraction. Its finite average reader recovers the free solution-jet functional, and PT24 transports
covariance to scalar kernel readers without replacing any stencil by its limit. The quarter-period
placement and PT23 preserve the far-image and return hypotheses needed for the corrected diago-
nal.
Finite averaged-covariance recovery.
Record the actual signed group and every ordered pair
(s, t) in its double average. Denote the corresponding torus and infinite-cover forms by Oh;s,t and
Hh;s,t. The exact same-slot identity is
Ch((i, a), (i, b)) = |S|−2 X
s,t∈S
(Oh;s,t −Hh;s,t).
Horizontal transport of each stencil functional, sampling map, turn and radial reconstruction leaves
these scalar forms unchanged. On free solution jets the equality plains(As) = A◦gaugeJet recovers
the same output for each signed record. In particular
|Ch((i, a), (i, b))| ≤max
s,t |Oh;s,t −Hh;s,t| −→0.
The subtraction is inside each summand before this limit. For separated slots no private subtraction

Finite group size makes these implications exact and preserves the independent transformations
of both stencils. The subsequent scalar return, separated and far-image estimates supply these
entrywise limits with their stated rescalings.
The schedule is retained literally. Its explicit growth is
Nmhq
m = 4Lm2+(1−q)m+1 −→∞
for every fixed integer q.
For a bounded physical displacement and any fixed finite stencil offset, their ratio to hmNm tends
to zero. Hence differences have the stated nonwrapping lifts; a sum at twice the quarter-period
center has lifted distance at least hmNm/4 eventually, after allowing the bounded displacement
and offsets. The same geometry holds when the observed endpoints coincide. No observation point,
stencil shift or period is reselected in the horizontal lift.
For explicit scalar-stencil recovery set Pa(p) = P
t atχp(ut).
Then the left side of PT24 is
χp(z)Pa(p)Pb(±p). Multiplication of the actual finite factorizations of Pa, Pb gives exactly its sign,
offset and ordered difference factors. The horizontal reader retains these coefficients, so both the
Fourier sum and the infinite-cover integral have their original normalization and h−|Da|−|Db|−2
price. If La = La,1 −La,2 and Lb = Lb,1 −Lb,2 are curvature readings, their bilinear covariance,
and separately its cover term, is exactly
B(La, Lb) = B(La,1, Lb,1) −B(La,1, Lb,2) −B(La,2, Lb,1) + B(La,2, Lb,2).
Thus the common four-term subtraction is recovered before scaling. Finite coordinate expansions
then recover arbitrary chart functionals. The occurrence recursion uses these very covariance entries,
so its limit retains zero within-insertion pairings and the specified Maxwell cross-insertion pairings.
This closes the moving-row/profile recovery conditional on precisely the scalar estimates developed
next.
22.8
Scalar return with every fixed jet rescaling
On Q = [−1/2, 1/2]4 put d(x) = δ(2πx) and fa(x) = d(x)−1 cos(2πa · x) for fixed integer displace-
ment a, assigning fa(0) = 0 as in the inverse-Laplacian zero-mode convention. The integral is
unaffected and the symbol bound gives |fa(x)| ≤∥x∥−2. Outside null cell boundaries, quadrature
representatives obey vN(x) ∈Q, ∥vN(x) −x∥≤4/N and ∥vN(x)∥≥1/N when nonzero. Thus
∥x∥≤5∥vN(x)∥and |fa(vN(x))−fa(x)| ≤26∥x∥−2, including the zero cell. For 0 < r ≤1, 8/N ≤r
and ∥x∥> r, the representative norm is at least r/2. Bounded derivatives of cosine and symbol
give
|fa(y) −fa(x)| ≤Car−4∥y −x∥
(∥x∥, ∥y∥≥r),
by the exact quotient subtraction
(cosa(y) −cosa(x))d(y)−1 + (d(x) −d(y))d(y)−1d(x)−1 cosa(x).
Using r/2 gives the outer error AaN−1r−4. The inner singularity is integrable in four dimensions,
with
Z
∥x∥<2r
∥x∥−2dx = r2

∥u∥<2
∥u∥−2du.
Split the error at r to obtain

The torus sum is exactly

choose r = hd+1; PT23 eventually ensures r ≤1, 8/N ≤r. Then
h−d| Re GN(a) −G∞(a)| ≤Cahd+2 + Aa(Nh5d+4)−1 −→0.
(PT26)
This retains every fixed inverse mesh power needed by a finite jet. The lifted return source keeps the
zero-mode convention, representative cells, exact quadrature normalization and the singular/regular
split. Its scalar reader is the difference of torus and cover values before rescaling; PT25 transports
that difference with an explicit bound and PT26 recovers its vanishing at the jet reader’s actual
scale.
Quadrature subtraction and fixed-power recovery.
The scalar return source retains the
actual representative cells CN,u, zero-mode value and fixed integer displacement a. Its two scalar
readers and their exact discrepancy are

fa(vN(x)) dx,
R∞(a) =

Thus EN(a) = Re GN(a) −G∞(a) before multiplication by any inverse mesh power. The normal-
ization (2π)−4dp = dx under p = 2πx and cell volume N−4 are retained entries of these readers.
Pulling the source record to its horizontal section changes neither reader nor their difference.
For a nonzero representative the inequalities ∥x∥≤∥vN(x)∥+ 4/N ≤5∥vN(x)∥give the inte-
grable bound 26∥x∥−2 for the discrepancy; in the zero cell fa(vN(x)) = 0 gives the same bound
directly. All these statements are up to the stated null boundaries and zero point. Splitting at r
gives explicitly
|EN(a)| ≤26
Z
Q∩{∥x∥≤r}
∥x∥−2 dx + AaN−1r−4 vol(Q).
The first term is at most a fixed constant times r2 in dimension four and vol(Q) = 1. This recovers
PT25 using the combined subtraction rather than separate singular estimates after rescaling.
For fixed d ≥0 the retained choice r = hd+1 yields exactly
h−dr2 = hd+2,
h−dN−1r−4 = (Nh5d+4)−1.
Along PT23, Nhd+1 →∞makes 8/N ≤r eventually, and Nh5d+4 →∞gives the second vanishing
term. Consequently the same reader recovers PT26 for each fixed power required by a finite jet. If
a fixed finite stencil calculation uses P
t λtEN(at) with constant coefficients and bounded rescaling
degree, the finite sum of these bounds proves its return limit with the same schedule, after taking
the maximum of finitely many thresholds. This transports the actual torus-minus-cover cancellation
used for arbitrary finite chart functionals.

Whole scalar kernels from annular readers
Suppose Am(2s) −Am(s) →A(2s) −A(s) for every s > 0, and with constants independent of s,
eventually for each fixed s,
|Am(s)| ≤Csp,
|Fm −Am(s)| ≤B/s,
|A(s)| ≤Esp,
|F −A(s)| ≤D/s,
p ≥1.

Then Fm →F. Choose small s ≤1 with (C +E)sp < ε/3, then integer q with (B +D)/(2qs) < ε/3.
Finite annular telescoping gives Am(2qs) −Am(s) →A(2qs) −A(s). Take m late enough for its
error below ε/3. Add large-cutofftails and small-cutoffsizes to bound |Fm −F| < ε. The order
is s, q, m; cutoff-uniform convergence is not assumed. For differentiated torus kernels at nonzero
physical separation use p = |D| + 2. Smooth Fourier cutoffs have bound Cs|D|+2 and complement
B/s away from zero. Their mesh conditions (2π/N)(|D| + 4) ≤hs, hs ≤1/2 hold eventually for
fixed s by Nh →∞, h →0. Annular Riemann convergence and PT27 give the separated scalar
limit. Its continuum candidate is ∂DG(z), G(z) = (4π2∥z∥2)−1. With Fourier character e2πik·z, an
integrable heat regulator b > 0 gives inverse transform
∂DG(z) −∂D(G(z)e−π2∥z∥2/b),
z ̸= 0.
Set b = v−2; the second term is v|D|+2∂D(Ge−π2∥·∥2)(vz), tending to zero by rapid derivative decay
at infinity. For a physical displacement whose norm tends to infinity, the same comparison principle
applies with F = 0, A(s) = 0. At fixed Fourier cutoff, dominated convergence removes heat inside
the integral. Annular tail bounds persist and sum as P
j C/(2js) ≤2C/s, supplying the continuum
estimates in PT27. For diverging physical separation take F = A = 0. Summation by parts gives
| annulush,s,D(x)| ≤CD

which vanishes for fixed s. Low-frequency and tail bounds remain valid once distance is at least
one. PT27 proves the far-image limit.
Whole-kernel recovery from annular differences.
Retain both the annular reader and its
small-cutoffanchor in the source. For fixed s > 0 and finite integer q ≥0, put S = 2qs. The exact
telescoping discrepancy is
Em;s,q =
q−1
X
j=0
Am(2j+1s) −Am(2js) −A(2j+1s) + A(2js)
 −→0.
An empty sum at q = 0 is zero. The full recovered difference satisfies
Fm −F = [Fm −Am(S)] + Em;s,q + [Am(s) −A(s)] + [A(S) −F],
and therefore, eventually for the fixed cutoffs,
|Fm −F| ≤B + D
S
+ |Em;s,q| + (C + E)sp.
The choice of small s, then finite q, then sufficiently large m is preserved by the lift. These identities
expose the anchoring term Am(s)−A(s) which controls the additive constant left undetermined by
annular differences alone. Every scalar cutoffand torus reader has its identical horizontal readout,
so these finite identities and bounds recover the whole kernel, not merely its annular increments.
For the separated torus application, the retained mesh inequalities are exactly
2π(|D| + 4)
Nh

For each fixed cutoffthey follow from the same reporting schedule; no cutoff-dependent change of
continuum witness is introduced. The limiting inverse transform uses the stated character conven-
tion and the actual function G(z) = (4π2∥z∥2)−1. For z ̸= 0, the heat correction retains the exact
scaling
∂D
 G(z)e−π2v2∥z∥2 = v|D|+2[∂D(Ge−π2∥·∥2)](vz).

Choose a decay power greater than |D| + 2 to recover its vanishing at each nonzero z as v →∞.
Heat removal at a fixed Fourier cutoffand the retained dyadic tail P
j≥0 C/(2js) = 2C/s supply the
continuum comparison without asserting absolute integrability of an uncut differentiated symbol.
These operations use the same scalar readouts before and after horizontal transport.
For the far-image application retain F = 0 and A(s) = 0. The source’s annulus bound gives
annular convergence to zero at each fixed s as physical distance diverges. The preceding exact
comparison then recovers Fm →0 with the same small-cutoffand tail constants once distance is at
least one. This is the far-image reader used in the quarter-period covariance construction, including
the coincident-observation return geometry.
For the nonoscillatory low-frequency bound set t = hs, q = p/(hs).
The denominator is
dt(q) = P3
ν=0 q2
ν sinc(tqν/2)2. For ∥q∥≤1, 0 ≤t ≤2, the sinc bound 2/π gives dt(q) ≥(2/π)2∥q∥2.
Each normalized difference numerator is at most |qν| ≤1, so the normalized cutoffsymbol is
bounded by (π/2)2∥q∥−2 regardless of list length.
For centered integer momentum lifts in the
cube Bm, |Bm| ≤(2m + 1)4. On Bm \ B⌊m/2⌋inverse squared norm is at most 4/m2. Strong
induction gives P
p∈Bm ∥lift(p)∥−2 ≤432m2, with zero term assigned zero: the inner bound is
108m2 and outer bound (3m)4(4/m2) = 324m2, starting at m = 0. Writing η = 2π/N, T = η/t,
rescaling bounds the unit-ball inverse-square sum by 432T −4. Multiply by physical normalization
(Nh)−4s|D|−2 and use Ts = 2π/(Nh):
| pieceh,s,D(x)| ≤432(π/2)2
(2π)4
s|D|+2.
(PT28)
This low-frequency estimate also holds at coincidence. The lifted kernel source retains annular
differences together with both small-cutoffsize and large-cutofftail data. Its telescoping reader
recovers the whole kernel and fixes the constant not determined by differences alone. Heat removal,
the zero momentum convention and physical normalization remain attached to the same reader,
preserving the separated and far-image limits used in the corrected covariance.

The normalized annular symbol is smooth, supported at ∥q∥≤2, with derivatives of every fixed
finite order uniformly bounded for 0 < t ≤1, by cutoffaway from zero and smooth sinc extension
at t = 0. Momentum differences have normalized step T, so repeated fundamental theorem of
calculus bounds order v by CD,vT v. If vT ≤1, support expands only to ∥q∥≤3, with at most
84T −4 representatives since T ≤1. Boundary crossings cause no loss: the periodic uncut symbol
agrees on both lifts and the annular cutoffvanishes on both if ηv ≤1/2. For the high-frequency
complement at t ≥1/2 use uniform derivatives on the rescaled Fourier box; all N4 representatives
contribute but N ≤4π/T, giving the same CT v−4 bound. Thus

The same holds for the complement when 1/2 ≤hs ≤1. Choose the first q with h2qs > 1/2, then
h2qs ≤1. The full tail is the finite dyadic annuli through 2q−1s and that complement. At physical
distance at least R > 0, their bounds sum to 2CD,R/s + CD,R/s, giving
| jointh,D(x) −pieceh,s,D(x)| ≤3CD,R/s.
This is PT27’s tail estimate without requiring an absolute uncut infinite-volume derivative sum.
Finite Fourier bound recovery.
The source retains the normalized symbol, centered represen-
tatives, zero summand, mesh and difference order. Horizontal readout leaves these scalar entries
unchanged. In particular the low-frequency estimate uses the actual inverse-square sum and the
exact scaling
(Nh)−4s|D|−2T −4 = (2π)−4s|D|+2,
T =
2π
Nhs.
The retained induction constant 432 and symbol constant (π/2)2 therefore recover PT28 with its
original prefactor. No oscillatory cancellation or positive separation is required for this reader, so
its bound still applies at coincidence.
For a smooth normalized annular symbol F, the finite-difference estimate can be written exactly
as

−TeνF(q) = (−T)v
Z
[0,1]v ∂v
νF
 q −T(t1 + · · · + tv)eν
 dt1 · · · dtv.
The prescribed support and derivative bounds thus give CT v per representative, and counting the
enlarged support gives CT v−4. The recorded boundary and high-frequency alternatives supply the
same bound for the periodic symbol when a representative changes.
This transports the finite
difference of the actual symbol rather than replacing it by a continuum derivative.
Let Fx(f) = P
p χp(x)f(p) be the finite Fourier reader. Index translation is a bijection of the
same torus, so
Fx(∆v
−eνf) = (χeν(x) −1)vFx(f)
is an exact readout identity.
It remains so on the horizontal source with the same character
and representatives. For nonzero physical distance ρ = ∥h lift(x)∥, the retained chord bound and
normalization yield

This recovers PT30 including its powers and physical normalization. The final complement retains
the same estimate at its allowed scale. The finite dyadic decomposition is an identity of readers
before estimating, and Pq−1
j=0(2js)−1 ≤2/s together with the final complement bound gives exactly
the stated 3CD,R/s tail for ρ ≥R. Thus both the low-frequency anchor and oscillatory tail used
by PT27 are preserved by the same scalar source lift.
For fixed s, set cm = Nmhm, integer on the reporting schedule.

The normalized annular integrand is jointly continuous in t = hms, displacement and
Fourier variable, including t = 0, uniformly bounded and supported in radius 2s/(2π). Choose
integer R containing it.
Eventually 2Rcm < Nm, equivalent to 2Rhm < 1, so all supporting
integer addresses are their own centered representatives. The torus sum is exactly unrestricted
box quadrature. If rm(k) is its representative, ∥rm(k) −k∥≤4/cm. The step function Fm(rm(k))

bounded by a constant times the radius-R + 5 ball indicator. Dominated convergence proves its
moving-displacement limit. Its phase is exact:
e2πi⟨hm lift(xm),lift(p)/cm⟩= χp(xm).
The normalized radial variable is also exact since cm = Nmhm.
For continuum heat-uniform oscillation let HD,a(q) = e−a∥q∥2MD(q), a ≥0, where MD is the
normalized smooth annular symbol supported in 1/2 ≤∥q∥≤3. Every fixed derivative order has
a common bound on that annulus, uniform in a. Indeed with y = √a q, order i derivatives of the
heat factor are ai/2 times Gaussian derivatives. For ∥y∥≤1, √a ≤2 gives compact bounds; for
∥y∥≥1, √a ≤2∥y∥and rapid decay give the same bound. Leibniz with MD finishes it. Choose
a coordinate of x at least half its norm and integrate by parts j times; compact support removes
boundary terms, and the derivative L1 bound gives

(a ≥0).
Rescaling k = (s/(2π))q contributes s|D|+2; choosing j = |D| + 3 leaves s−1. The rescaled heat
parameter is nonnegative, so this proves the annular estimate uniformly during heat removal and its
summable dyadic tail in PT27. The lifted oscillatory source retains periodic representatives, exact
momentum differences, normalized phases, cell volumes and heat parameter. PT29 transports the
reader by finite index translation; PT30 bounds its actual tail. The quadrature reader recovers the
continuum annulus by dominated convergence with moving displacement, and uniform heat bounds
preserve recovery when its regulator is removed.
Moving annular integral and heat-uniform recovery.
The annular source records the
mesh/period pair and the physical Fourier address kp = lift(p)/cm.
The phase recovery is an
identity before any limit, since
⟨hm lift(xm), kp⟩= ⟨lift(xm), lift(p)⟩
Nm
.
Thus its exponential is the retained torus character. The radial argument and cell volume are also
retained exactly; on the supporting box the annular reader is
c−4

X
u∈Z4
Fm(u/cm) =

R4 Fm(rm(k)) dk.
Only finitely many summands are nonzero.
Eventual centered-address injectivity follows from
2Rhm < 1. All scalar ingredients have the same horizontal readout, so the equality also holds for
the lifted annular reader. Joint continuity with the retained moving displacement and t →0 gives
pointwise convergence. The common bound M1{|k|≤R+5} is integrable and remains identical under
readout.
Consequently dominated convergence recovers the continuum annulus with its actual
phase and normalization.
For explicit heat-uniform control, for a multi-index α of length i and a > 0 the derivative of the
heat factor is
∂α
q e−a∥q∥2 = ai/2(∂αe−∥·∥2)(√a q).
On the recorded annulus ∥q∥≥1/2, putting y = √a q bounds √a by 2 when ∥y∥≤1, and by 2∥y∥
otherwise. Thus a finite constant controls this derivative uniformly in a > 0. The case a = 0 is the

constant heat factor, with all positive derivatives zero. Leibniz’s formula therefore gives uniform
L1 bounds for every prescribed finite derivative of HD,a on its fixed compact support.
For x ̸= 0 choose |xν| ≥∥x∥/2. The exact continuum reader identity is

νHD,a(k) dk.
It retains no boundary term and transports unchanged. Its derivative bound recovers the uniform
oscillatory estimate. After rescaling, s|D|+2s−j = s−1 at j = |D| + 3; the new heat parameter still
ranges over nonnegative values. Summing the dyadic annular bounds gives 2C/s uniformly during
heat removal. This retains the precise continuum tail used in PT27 and completes recovery of the
moving annular step of the Gaussian comparison.

Finite stress, scaling maps and shell charges
Actual finite stress, followed by geometric station selection.
The stress and current begin
as functions on finite group configurations. Their Ward identity, Haar-Jacobian terms and quiet-
loop localization are computed there before extraction. Rooted estimates, then the full-support
phase argument, transfer these finite readings to the required characters.
A single calibration
matrix must work for the three panels and their joint higher-arity suppliers; centering removes the
unit direction before the relevant rank assertion is used.
The station-selection equation is geometric: s = ρk(b + u). It chooses a station at a requested
physical radius. The actual interacting and Gaussian moments retain the IG3 comparison error at
that station. Consequently the exact equality of radii and the limiting equality of moment readings
have different logical roles. The physical conserved stress is then identified on the same quotient and
with the same shell-charge normalization. Flux representability is proved with the actual geometry
and faces; a coefficient rank count alone would not recover the ordinary face flux.
23.1
The finite trace candidate, its equation identity and its compensation
The local current and stress entering this chapter are finite configuration functions. For a base site
o, let
Cab(o, U) = curv(Ua(o)Ub(o + ea)Ua(o + eb)−1Ub(o)−1).
The curvature map is the real color projection specified in the startup construction, so this expres-
sion is defined on every group configuration. Gauge transformations act by the adjoint at o. Define
a link-valued current and a scalar tensor by
(Yb(o, U))(x,i) = 1{x=o}Cbi(o, U),
Jab(o, U) = 1

Color coordinates are converted back to the actual link-coordinate space by the fixed color isometry.
At the identity every C vanishes. Its derivative in a logarithmic link direction A is precisely
cab(o, A) = Aa(o) + Ab(o + ea) −Aa(o + eb) −Ab(o).
Thus Y (1) = 0; J(1) = 0 and DJ(1) = 0. Its Hessian is obtained by replacing a product ⟨C, C′⟩
by ⟨c(A), c′(B)⟩+ ⟨c(B), c′(A)⟩. These formulas supply the actual quadratic jets, rather than an
unspecified continuum stress approximation. Initially J is symmetric and has identically zero trace.

exactly on polynomials of degree at most eight. Physical spacing factors are inserted only when
the finite tensor is rescaled.

through Taylor order four.
(TF0c)
Here ∇is the unit forward difference, and the last equivalence includes orders zero through four at
the identity. Initially Q = Ξ = 0, and E is defined as the difference on the last line, so that it is
an equality. The Hessian of P is the retained covariant quadratic form; differentiating DY P, using
Y (1) = DP(1) = 0, gives its two cross Hessian pairings. The local analytic change of variables
preserves these four jets by the chain rule.
The scalar rows J, E, Q, Ξ remain analytic, gauge
invariant, and zero through order one.
To see why the identities persist under blocking, denote the main averaging stencil by M, the
directional flux stencil by Fa, and its correction by Ta. Their finite coefficient identities are
Fa = M + ∇aTa,
L5MDa = DaL4Fa.
Pull each fine scalar function back along the stationary section. Transport Jab with L4Fa, Eb, Yb
with L5M, and the difference potentials with their degree-three edge stencils. Add L4TaJaa to
the transported Qa, and add 1{i=a}L4TaJab −1{i=b}L4TbJba to the transported Ξabi. Substitution
proves all three identities in (TF0c); the two added terms cancel precisely the change from the main
stencil to the flux stencils. The current is transported by the derivative of the stationary section,
so the chain rule also preserves the last identity. No exact symmetry or zero trace of each blocked
local representative is presumed.
Localization is performed on the scalar and current functions themselves: gauge fix along the
prescribed finite axial paths, discard coordinates beyond the chosen radius, and retain the Taylor
polynomial through order four in those local coordinates. Denote the localized tensor by Jloc, and
localize Q, Ξ by the same operation. Restore its exact trace and its six antisymmetric divergences

Other diagonal entries are unchanged. The six pairs are 01, 02, 03, 12, 13, 23; their identities follow
individually by subtraction. Summing the four diagonal entries proves the trace identity. The same
construction has bounded support, enlarged by one difference step.
The localization error of a differentiated tensor is controlled at the actual stencil sites: (TF0b)
uses only shifts of length at most four, so its error is bounded by P

error is at most A. Summing the four directions gives four times this allowance. Support and
anchor weights are enlarged by four at this step. The corresponding derivative and tail allowances
are summed with the same absolute coefficients. Exponential path decay pays the discarded tails
including their first moments; the stationary four-jet identity pays the local Taylor difference. These
are the separate errors retained when the localized divergence is issued as a degree-five insertion.
Finally average the scalar tensor and its divergence over signed permutations and conjugation,
with weight 1/|Signed×{0, 1}|, multiplying each component by its tensor or vector sign. Reindexing
this finite average proves reality and the required signed covariance. The vector average kills the
identity-configuration constants: the axis reflection reverses the vector sign and pairs identical
constants. It does not increase a common rooted bound, because the sum of the absolute averaging
weights is one, every transformed chamber has the same rooted seminorm, and the rooted triangle
inequality applies. Transport commutes with the same transformations. Thus the issued vector
and tensor have the correct exact finite symmetries before any coefficient limit is taken.
We first specify the finite objects whose limits enter the trace argument. This prevents a formal
Taylor coefficient from being confused with a continuum insertion. At a fixed finite representative
let Yb be its rooted infinitesimal link-current vector field, DY f the directional derivative of a
configuration function along its left logarithmic link increments, and divν Y its divergence for
product Haar measure.
In exponential coordinates this divergence includes both the ordinary
coordinate divergence and the derivative of the logarithm of the Haar density. Write PA for a
finite partial sum of the classical action, LQ for a finite partial sum of the ordinary logarithmic
corrections, and
EA,Q = −βPA −LQ,
Rb = β(Bb −DYbPA).
(TF1)
Here Bb is the rooted lattice stress expression, with the same mean and curvature rows as in the
finite stress construction. The finite sums are taken from the actual source dictionaries, rather than
from new representatives of their limiting functions.
The protected configuration change along Yb, with step u > 0, gives a finite difference identity.
If Cu,b denotes the resulting density-difference expression, its exact decomposition on the protected
healthy region is
Cu,b

= Zb −βBb + (divν Yb)(1),

(TF3)
The constant denoted by evaluation at 1 is evaluated at the identity configuration. The fourth
term is the finite Taylor remainder of the changed action and Jacobian after subtracting their
first directional terms, divided by u. The last sum is the finite correction for the chosen finite
shelves of activity terms: each summand is the corresponding changed activity difference with the
coefficient and the factor u−1 dictated by that difference. Thus (TF3) defines a literal configuration
function. To prove (TF2), expand the change of density, distribute DY (−βPA−LQ), and use (TF1);
the βDY PA terms cancel. Splitting the activity change into the finite retained shelves and their
remainder gives exactly the last sum. This is an algebraic equality before any limit or expectation
is taken.
The correction shelves can be enlarged to approximate the full changed expression uniformly
on configurations. The estimates for rooted activity sums above give nonnegative numbers gγ with
each summand regular on its actual support Pγ, and

The finite four-term part of (TF3) is regular on the common neighborhood and has derivative
allowance 2csmall + 2cloop. The sum in (TF4) is included with its own supports, not paid as if every
term had the largest common support.
The conversion of a regular function f into a coefficient insertion is particularly explicit. Let
Π≤5f be its Taylor polynomial along the local analytic section at the identity, projected to the
degree-five frame, and weight its homogeneous components with the prescribed threshold powers.
Call the resulting coefficient a(f). Choose the primary local section s(a(f)), and put the masked
difference f −s(a(f)) into one regular activity slot, with every other slot zero.
The resulting
formatted insertion equals f on the protected region, has zero extra scalar term, and retains locality
and symmetry. If rread is the norm of the finite Taylor reading map and rsect the norm of this section
construction, a bound c for the original section gives the two respective bills
mass(P)c(rread + rsect),
mass(P)c((1 + csect)rread + rsect).
(TF5)
These are finite-dimensional operator bounds and the ordinary triangle inequality for f −s(a(f)).
Add this construction for the four terms and the finite correction sum. Taylor reading is linear, so
the actual candidate coefficient is the sum of the four weighted Taylor readings plus the weighted
readings of Hu,b,γ. Equation (TF4) bounds the size of the latter by (rread +rsect)εcorr. This supplies
the coefficient and its paid remainder together.
The equation identity for this candidate is also literal. Differentiate the finite change of variables
in the normalized Haar integral, or integrate its density difference before dividing by u. A specta-
tor supported outside the changed links is unchanged. The resulting expectation is zero. Apply
(TF2), subtract its identity-configuration constant, and then let the shelves increase and u follow
its admitted small-step schedule. Their uniform allowances justify these passages by dominated
convergence. The same identity with a spectator derivative gives the finite lattice Ward contact
term when that spectator meets the support. In particular equation directions have zero separated
readings, precisely the equation cancellation already used in constructing the physical quotient.
There is a possible degree-five vector component in this procedure. The raw-to-free vector map
has exactly the kernel RE proved in (FC9)–(FC10).
Choose its real signed-equivariant section
by the corrected polynomial lift and subtract the unique remaining multiple of E. This is finite-
dimensional subtraction before the coefficient limit. It explains why the trace candidate can be
compared in fixed vector coordinates despite its original equation component.
The compensation by the quiet logarithmic part is exact at the coefficient level needed here. In
logarithmic link coordinates the vector-current diagnostic is a sum, over d ̸= i, of the quadratic
and cubic Taylor coefficients with two equal fixed-color variations in direction i and opposite lattice
directions d, −d. Its cubic part is the contraction denoted crestq; denote the quadratic contraction
by suited,i floftd,i,q. Define
Hq(X) = crestq(X) −1

The quiet logarithmic contribution is constructed with two moment cancellations; gauge invariance
alone would not establish the required zero in (TF6). For each fixed ordered pair of plaquette types
and color coordinates, let cγ be the finite two-slot path coefficient and zγ the displacement of the
second slot from the first. Put

Ca =

cγ(zγ)a = 0
(a = 0, 1, 2, 3).
(TF6b)
Its appended coefficients remain color invariant because that condition is a real linear subspace.
The quiet logarithm is the signed and translated sum of this augmented family. The difference
between it and the retained ordinary loop sum is precisely the finite appended part. Its coefficient
sizes are bounded by the zero and first moments of the omitted path tail; exponential path decay
bounds these moments, giving the small remainder already paid in (TF4).
Here is why this construction cancels (TF6). Let T = Lquiet. Its Hessian at the identity vanishes
when one direction has bounded support and the curl of the other is affine on the enlarged support
neighborhood. In fact the Hessian of a two-slot term is the sum of the two products of its linearized
curl slots. With the first direction fixed, the other slot evaluated at displacement zγ is A + F(zγ),
with F additive. Summing over the family gives A P
γ cγ + P
a F(ea) P
γ cγ(zγ)a = 0 by (TF6b).
The same calculation applies to the reversed slot order and each signed translate. The nonwrapping
and support hypotheses ensure that these displacements are the actual integer displacements; in
the application 2(t + 2 + M) + 6 < n, where t bounds the current support and M the retained path
length.
For Fb = DYbT, differentiate twice at the identity. The current vanishes there, and the first
derivative of a gauge-invariant scalar there is zero. The product rule consequently reduces the
Hessian to
D2Fb(0)[X, Z] = D2T(0)[DYb(0)X, Z] + D2T(0)[DYb(0)Z, X].
(TF6c)
The directions DYb(0)X have the bounded support of the current. Choose X, Z to be the polynomial
link directions of degrees at most two that occur in the coefficient test. Their curls are affine on
that neighborhood. The preceding Hessian cancellation makes both terms in (TF6c) zero. Terms
with a constant pure-gauge direction vanish by the differentiated gauge identity. Expanding the
cubic coefficient in the two position variables of the test uses just these Hessian pairings, so its
centered-link reading is zero.
One must still convert the centered-link reading into the actual link reading. If the two position
arguments are z0, z1, the change is multiplication by
e i((z0)i+(z1)i)/2.
The constant and first coefficients of the original reading vanish. The normalized third coefficient of
this product is therefore its original third coefficient plus i((z0)i+(z1)i)/2 times its second coefficient.
Apply the finite coefficient functional in the d, b variables. The latter term is zero unless i = b;
when i = b, its value is −1
2 floftd,i,q. This follows by expanding the quadratic coefficient on (ed, −ed)
and using i2 = −1. Summing over b and d ̸= i gives exactly (TF6). Its centered-link version has
just been shown zero, so Hq(DY Lquiet) = 0. The factor 1/2 thus comes from this link-centering
phase and the normalized Taylor coefficients. Subtracting the paid appended part gives the stated
bound for the ordinary loop contribution. No quiet contribution is left undetermined.
The needed vanishing of the quadratic part can be derived without setting a mass regulator
equal to zero inside an integral. For 0 < μ ≤1, the local resolvent estimates below give, for the
massive comparison expression Lμ,
| cobd,i,q(Lμ)| ≤Cμ−1.
(TF7)
The proof differentiates the Fourier-resolvent expression twice; its pointwise integrand is bounded
by C(|p| + μ)−5. Counting lattice shells and multiplying by the momentum cell volume gives Cμ−1

in four dimensions. This applies to both the physical and comparison resolvents, hence to their
sum. At each fixed positive μ, the resolvent identity identifies the unregularized current coefficient
with μ2 cobd,i,q(Lμ), up to an error tending to zero in the retained large-volume limit. Given ε > 0,
choose μ = min(1, ε/[2(C + 1)]) first. The massive term has magnitude at most Cμ ≤ε/2; take the
volume large enough to make the remaining error below ε/2. The unregularized quadratic coefficient
therefore tends to zero. The Taylor remainder bounds give the same limit for its finite-difference
reading. Summing the finitely many d, i shows that (TF6) has the same limit as its cubic part.
That cubic limit is −12 sG, where sG is the one-loop slope constant in the coupling drift. Here
is how the logarithmic slope fixes it. For the regulated determinant expression A(log μ), the deter-
minant estimates give
|A(x) + (−12sG)x| ≤C,
x ≤0.
(TF8)
The regulated response is −A′(x), with x = log μ. The real mean value theorem on an interval
[a, b] ⊂(−∞, 0] supplies an intermediate regulator at which this response differs from −12sG by
at most 2C/(b −a). First choose b −a large, then use the local resolvent difference estimate to
compare that response with the unregularized cubic current coefficient; this error tends to zero
when the upper endpoint b is sufficiently negative and the retained volume is sufficiently large. The
intermediate regulators stay in the fixed positive interval [ea, eb], so the large-volume estimates
apply uniformly there. The triangle inequality proves the limit. Together with (TF7), it proves
Hq →−12sG for every color q. These are finite rooted Haar-Jacobian coefficient tests, not an
assumption about a mollified continuum field.
Finally the passage through many adjacent coefficient transports retains a relative error. Put
ωi = exp{−2
5 RLog( bβi)} −→0,
k = k(i) > i.
(TF9)
The chosen calendar ensures every adjacent transport error between i and k is at most ωi/[2(k −i)]
times the next coefficient size. If vj denotes that coefficient, backward induction proves
∥vj −vk∥≤ωi(k −j)
k −i
∥vk∥≤ωi∥vk∥,
i ≤j ≤k.
(TF10)
Indeed the induction hypothesis and ωi ≤1 imply ∥vj+1∥≤2∥vk∥; adding the next adjacent
error gives the asserted bound at j.
The calendar inequality follows from the positive reserve
−2/5 + 1/2 = 1/10: logarithms and the number of intervening steps are eventually dominated by
the exponential with exponent 1/10. Thus this accumulated relative error vanishes. The finite
candidate, its equation identity, the quiet compensation and its scalar diagnostic consequently
survive on the same retained field and enter the following trace comparison.
Source–readout formulation.
The retained tuple (J, Y, E, Q, Ξ) is the realized source record of
the trace; its three identities (TF0c) are discrepancy columns kept at every level: Q is the recorded
potential of the trace, Ξ of the antisymmetric part and E of the equation term. The restored tensor
(TF0d) is a section that makes two of the discrepancies exact again after localization. The slope
constant enters the trace through Hq →−12sG, which reads the same number sG = s that was read
in (DR5) from the coupling drift; the two readings are obtained from different readers (the kinetic
reader αa and the cubic current reader Hq) of the same determinant films, and their agreement is
a derived consistency of the realized history and is not imposed. All objects are gauge-invariant
cylinders or coefficient vectors, so the frame lift is the identity on values and the identities hold for
J ◦π, Y pushed forward by the horizontal lift of Theorem 9.2, and so on.
The candidate itself is a literal configuration function at a fixed finite representative, and its
defining relation (TF2) is an algebraic identity before any limit or expectation. This is the form

required by the method for an equation residual: the equation term is retained as a column of
the realized record, and its vanishing in separated readings is proved (Proposition 18.2), not built
into the definition.
The possible degree-five vector component is removed by Proposition 16.5:
the raw-to-free vector map has kernel exactly RE, and the unique remaining multiple of E is
subtracted before the coefficient limit. The quiet compensation is a motion inside the fibre of the
moment readout of Proposition 14.10: it changes the presentation of the candidate by a family
with vanishing zeroth and first moments and does not change the readings that define the trace.
23.2
The interacting-to-Gaussian comparison used for the trace
This comparison concerns the interacting Wilson family and its selected continuum phase. It is
distinct from the calculation of a Gaussian constant coefficient in the preceding chapter. We derive
the passage between them.
At a fixed retained comparison station take two physical lattice insertions A0, A1, supported in
its strict chamber, with their coefficient representatives converging along the common comparison
filter. Let m0, m1 be the corresponding one-point Gaussian readings and let z be the centered
Gaussian two-point reading. The corrected singleton and pair polynomials are
Dj = Aj −mj,
D01 = (A0 −m0)(A1 −m1) −z.
(IG1)
We next derive the finite interacting bound for these functions. This also specifies which Gaussian
quantities are subtracted. For n marked insertions let f be the cumulant polynomial of the Gaussian
profile at the rounded positions. The corrected cylinder is the coefficient polynomial obtained by
multiplying the insertion generating polynomial by exp(−f), in the finite algebra in which each
marker has square zero. Its singleton coefficients are Aj −mj, and its pair coefficient is exactly
D01 in (IG1). Thus the subtraction includes the Gaussian means as well as its connected pair
coefficient.
Let k be a comparison station, M ≥n its fixed maximum number of marks per chamber, and
Hk its monitor. Define
Ik = log Hk
16M ,
Rk = e2Ik,
εk = e−Ik.
(IG4)
Here Hk →∞, so εk →0. The initial marked density is the Wilson density times the product of
the reflected copies of the corrected cylinder over all chambers of the tiling. Push this density along
the same exact renormalization course as its unmarked Wilson density. In particular its vacuum
integral is the original Wilson partition function. The comparison uses this density identity, not a
replacement of the interacting law by a Gaussian law.
We describe the bounds on this push. At the middle stop its regular marked sources have values
Wα(U), with specified fired marker sets and support cubes. They occur together with the forced
sources and the unmarked background in the finite density expansion described in the marked-
integration chapter. If Cα is the corresponding coefficient of the negative Gaussian cumulant, then
on the healthy local chart
|Wα(U) + Cα| ≤b−31/32(t),
|Cα| ≤b1/4(t).
(IG5)
Here t is the station coupling, ba(t) = exp(a boil(t)), and boil(t) →∞. To obtain the first bound,
expand the actual insertion product by its finite cumulant expansion. The local Gaussian com-
parison of its calibrated chart coefficients gives an error at most b−3/2(t) for each coefficient; the
finite exponential map from cumulants to moments is continuous on this fixed finite coefficient
space.
Its chosen neighborhood makes the cumulant-polynomial discrepancy plus that error at
429

most b−31/32(t). The exact negative cumulant coefficient cancels the corresponding free coefficient.
The second bound follows because the rounded Gaussian profile stays in a compact subset of the
generic position domain, where its finitely many coefficients are bounded, while b1/4(t) →∞.
Here is the polynomial estimate behind the local Gaussian comparison just used. Denote coef-
ficient l1 size by coin, and let k0 bound the degree of each insertion polynomial. After the actual
linear substitution into the common key and residual coordinates, write these polynomials as Pi;
write Fi for their calibrated free polynomials, included in the same coordinates. The calibration
is the exact identity that their weighted truncations through the assigned degree di agree. If the
substitution has weighted size at most b, the original polynomial has size at most ai, and the weight
radius is ρ ≥1, every remaining monomial has weight at least ρdi+1. Hence
coin(Pi −Fi) ≤aibk0ρ−(di+1) ≤ξ.
(IG8)
This is the high-degree tail estimate; it uses the actual solved calibration maps. If coin(Fi) ≤B0,
B0 ≥1, telescoping a product over any subset J of the n insertions gives

(IG9)
Substitution of the Gaussian variables commutes exactly with their Wick functional: the substituted
covariance is the pullback of the original covariance and its mean is the pullback of the original
mean. These are equalities of finite Gaussian moments, including the residual coordinates, not
limiting approximations.
Let all means and covariances have absolute value at most B ≥1, and let E bound their
discrepancies from the zero-mean continuum free data in the key coordinates. Put N = nk0 and
CB,N = [2B(N + 1)]N. Wick’s recursion bounds the functional on a degree-N polynomial P by
CB,N coin(P), and its change under these mean and covariance discrepancies by ECB,N coin(P).
One proves both assertions by induction on the monomial degree: remove one variable, pair it with
each remaining variable or replace it by its mean, and, for the difference, telescope the resulting
products. The at most N + 1 choices at each step and the bound B fit the displayed constant.
Combining this bound with (IG9), and then comparing the free-key polynomials under the two
Gaussian data, gives total error at most
CB,N
nξ(B0 + ξ)n + Bn

.
(IG10)
The common covariance estimates and small-mean estimates in the Gaussian comparison chapter
give precisely these bounds on the pulled-back data, uniformly over the allowed small middle-stop
means. The station choices make (IG10) at most b−3/2(t). Thus the estimate feeding (IG5) follows
from the actual covariance comparison, exact calibration and a finite polynomial calculation. It is
not an additional interacting-to-free hypothesis.
These coefficient estimates are weighted in the density, as follows. A regular source in a support
cube of radius QB has support charge at most exp(e(2Q + 1)4), since that cube occupies at most
(2Q + 1)4 budget blocks. Its marker weight at radius Rk is at most RM
k = b1/8(t), by the identity
between the monitor and the station coupling. Consequently multiplication of (IG5) by the support
charge and marker weight fits the prescribed regular-source bound. The same calculation with the
additional unit of support charge fits the Gaussian compensation source bound. The forced sources
already satisfy their full-configuration bounds. The one-step marked integration estimate therefore
propagates this compensated density from the middle stop down to the width stop, preserving the
unmarked background and bounding the total source weight per marker and the total forced weight
430

per site by 1. This is finite induction over the stops: the initial insertion estimates give the terminal
case, and at each earlier stop the chart transport estimate and its forced-source estimate give the
next case. The delay conditions put every coupling in this finite induction in the same interval
[t/2, t], so the chosen budgets apply throughout.
For completeness, the final conversion of these density bounds to a rooted Wilson bound can be
written explicitly. Let Z be the number of width-stop sites, which is also the number of reflected
chambers. If q ̸= ∅is a fired subset of the n markers, the weighted coefficient estimate for the
pushed density and the positive partition-function lower bound give
∥⟨
Y
chambers
copy Dq⟩Wilson∥RZ|q|
k
≤exp{ZP −4 dim g log g} .
(IG6)
The parameter g > 0 here is the width-stop small-field parameter, with βg2 = 1; P is its per-site
protection bound with source count at most 1 + n ≤1 + M. The partition estimate applies to
the actual positive course density. Its comparison with the reference density uses the two-sided
exponent error bounded by Zδ: one side bounds the numerator and the other side bounds the
positive denominator, so their errors are both included in P.
Taking the Z-th root in (IG6) is legitimate because Z > 0. The width-stop allocation was
chosen so that
P −4 dim g log g
Z
≤Ik.
The rooted chamber seminorm therefore obeys
∥Dq∥root ≤eIk
R|q|
k
≤eIk
Rk
= e−Ik = εk.
(IG7)
The middle inequality uses |q| ≥1 and Rk ≥1. The allocation is eventually available because the
finite source-count ticket at the width stop is bounded by Ik; this is the delayed station choice,
made simultaneously with the finitely many chart, insertion and transport inequalities. Applied to
the two singleton modes and the pair mode, (IG7) is the asserted common bound c = εk for (IG1).
These are bounds for the actual Wilson law, before any character is selected.
Here is why this gives the same bound for the character reading of each corresponding continuum
polynomial. Let D be any finite linear combination of distinct-point words with the rooted bound
c, and let B be its compressed whole-word operator. For every integer n ≥1, place 2n copies of
D, with alternating reflected conjugation, in chambers separated by a distance parameter t. At
sufficiently large volume these are distinct chambers. The finite chessboard inequality bounds the
absolute expectation of their product by c2n.
At fixed n, t, the ordered lattice limit preserves
this inequality; the comparison filter lies below that same ordered-limit filter and the coefficient
representatives converge there. Then let t →∞. The long-word compression limit, expanding the
finite linear combinations without commuting their operator factors, gives
⟨Ω0, (B∗B)nΩ0⟩≤c2n.
The character decomposition therefore gives
Z
|χ(B)|2n dμ(χ) ≤c2n.
(IG2)
It follows that |χ(B)| ≤c for every character. Indeed, if |χ0(B)| > c, continuity provides an open
neighborhood of χ0, a number a > c, and a positive measure h of that neighborhood, on which
431


## Source page 435

|χ(B)| ≥a. Full support gives h > 0. Then (IG2) implies ha2n ≤c2n for every n, an impossibility
as n →∞. This includes c = 0. The two limits here have their stated order: first the lattice limit
at fixed copy count and separation, then separation to infinity, then the integer n →∞.
Let uj and u01 denote the continuum one- and two-point readings in any one character. Applying
this argument to (IG1), and using the unit reading 1, gives
|uj −mj| ≤c,
|u01 −m0u1 −m1u0 + m0m1 −z| ≤c.
The exact decomposition
u01 −(m0m1 + z) = [u01 −m0u1 −m1u0 + m0m1 −z] + m0(u1 −m1) + m1(u0 −m0)
proves
|u01 −(m0m1 + z)| ≤[1 + |m0| + |m1|]c.
(IG3)
Thus the Gaussian comparison follows from three specified interacting rooted estimates, not from
an assertion that the interacting measure converges to a Gaussian measure.
At comparison index i, the station construction supplies these rooted estimates for every pair
of basis labels through degree i, with c = εi →0, uniformly over its fixed position window. The
Gaussian readings mj, z are the singleton and pair coefficients of the Gaussian moment profile. In
particular m0m1 + z is its full two-point coefficient, by the defining cumulant identity. Write Qi(x)
for the rounded position tuple and riQi(x) for the actual physical tuple. If x is generic and has a
neighborhood in the comparison window, then Qi(x) →x, so it is eventually generic and stays in
that window. Smoothness of the free hierarchy implies convergence, and hence boundedness, of its
two singleton readings at Qi(x). Equation (IG3) yields convergence of the interacting two-point
reading to the free two-point reading at x.
The finite-cutoffrepresentatives of a free label converge, along the retained ultrafilter, to a linear
lift Yd,i. Projecting that lift gives the continuum map Ud,i. The finite station bounds pass to these
limits because the lattice moments with converging finite-dimensional coefficient labels have the
calibrated ordered limits. The station construction also preserves the unit, conjugation and signed
motions.
The free detector proves eventual injectivity of Ud,i; the field-dimension bound gives
surjectivity, so these maps are eventually isomorphisms at each fixed degree. Replacing finitely
many exceptional initial maps by any fixed isomorphism leaves all limits unchanged.
The conclusion also holds for convergent moving free labels vi,0, vi,1. To see this without assum-
ing a uniform norm bound on all interacting bilinear forms, fix a basis ea of the degree-d free space
and expand
Bi(vi,0, vi,1) =

Each basis-pair value converges by (IG3), and every displayed coefficient converges. There are
finitely many summands. Their limits are therefore exactly the free bilinear form evaluated at the
limiting labels. This is the moving-label comparison used for the normalized centered trace.
We finally justify the universal radius selection used in (TLim1). Given an arbitrary positive
sequence sn →0, a fixed finite degree horizon, any lower bound on the sequence index and station
depth, and any positive radius ceiling, the station construction supplies a later sequence member
below that ceiling whose value is exactly the station’s scale radius. Its purchased comparison
bounds include the three modes in (IG1), the bounded coefficient lifts and the smeared comparison
estimates through that horizon. All their error thresholds can be met together because only finitely
many basis pairs and modes occur at this horizon. Recursively increase the horizon to i, require
a larger sequence index and station depth, and set the next radius ceiling equal to half the radius

just chosen. This produces a strictly increasing subsequence map, strictly decreasing chosen radii,
and station depths tending to infinity. At each fixed degree all its comparisons hold eventually.
The exact radius matching has an elementary interval argument. Write Mk ≥1 for the calen-
dar’s magnification monitor and ρk(b) = akMb
k for the station gap. Eventually Mk ≤Mk+1, and
the purchased block bound gives Lk ≤Mk+1. Thus, for b ≥0,
ρk(b) = ak+1LkMb
k ≤ak+1Mb+1
k+1 = ρk+1(b + 1).
Also ρk(b) →0 for each fixed b.
Given a lower station index J, choose i ≥J beyond these
eventual bounds.
For 0 < s ≤ρi(b), take the first k > i with ρk(b) ≤s.
Minimality gives
s ≤ρk−1(b) ≤ρk(b + 1), also when k = i + 1. The continuous function u 7→ρk(b + u), 0 ≤u ≤1,
therefore attains s. The station family was purchased for this entire interval of exponents; its other
charges and interpolation parameters stay fixed over the interval. Consequently this adjustment
of u preserves its estimates. Given a sequence sn →0, choose a later sequence index below the
radius ceiling supplied by this argument, and repeat with a larger J. This proves the asserted
simultaneous escape of sequence and station indices, with exact equality of radii.
The bounded lifts are then extracted along the already retained ultrafilter and projected as
above. Their finite-dimensional limits assemble into one scaling family with exactly those chosen
radii. The trace and local-coordinate estimates apply to every such compatible scaling family; they
retain the previously fixed physical table and phase. Hence this construction works for the arbitrary
sequence supplied to it, including the violating sequence in the proof of the full trace limit.
Source–readout formulation.
The comparison never replaces the interacting law by a Gaussian
law. Its structure is: (i) a finite identity of densities (the marked density is pushed along the same
course, with the same partition function); (ii) rooted bounds (IG7) on three specified corrected
modes of the interacting law; (iii) Theorem 23.1, which transfers a rooted bound to every character
reading because the phase measure has full support. Step (iii) is a statement about the fibre of
phases: a bound valid for the unselected hierarchy descends to each point of the character space,
which is stronger than almost-everywhere and is what permits statements about the selected phase.
The Gaussian quantities mj, z are comparison data of the free sector read on the same labels; the
residual of the comparison is εk and is retained.
Theorem 23.1 (From rooted bounds to every character). Let D be a finite combination of distinct-
point words with rooted bound c and compressed whole-word operator B. Then
Z
|χ(B)|2n dμ(χ) ≤c2n
(n ≥1),
hence |χ(B)| ≤c for every character χ.
Consequently, for the continuum one- and two-point readings uj, u01 in any character,
|uj −mj| ≤c,
|u01 −(m0m1 + z)| ≤[1 + |m0| + |m1|] c.
Proof. Place 2n copies of D with alternating reflected conjugation in chambers at separation t; the
finite chessboard inequality bounds the expectation of their product by c2n; the ordered lattice limit
at fixed n, t preserves it; letting t →∞, the long-word compression limit gives ⟨Ω0, (B∗B)nΩ0⟩≤c2n
and the character decomposition gives the integral bound.
If |χ0(B)| > c, continuity gives a
neighbourhood and a > c with |χ(B)| ≥a there, of measure h > 0 by full support, and ha2n ≤c2n
fails for large n. The order of limits is: lattice limit at fixed copy count and separation, then
separation to infinity, then n →∞. For (IG3) apply this to (IG1) and use u01 −(m0m1 + z) =
[u01 −m0u1 −m1u0 + m0m1 −z] + m0(u1 −m1) + m1(u0 −m0).

The exact radius matching at the end of the derivation is geometric: the requested physical
radius s equals the purchased station radius ρk(b + u) for some u ∈[0, 1]. It allows the station
estimates to be applied at that radius on the same retained physical table and phase. It does not
make interacting and Gaussian moments equal at a finite station. Their actual two-point readings
satisfy
|u01 −(m0m1 + z)| ≤(1 + |m0| + |m1|)c.
(5)
At each fixed degree the purchased errors tend to zero; boundedness of the free singleton readings
then gives equality in the specified limit. Prescribed determining-frame normalization elsewhere is
an exact finite coordinate calibration, and is distinct from equality of actual hierarchy moments.
The universal selection retains this distinction when it is applied to an arbitrary sequence of radii
in the full trace-limit argument.
23.3
One calibration matrix for the three panels
The three comparison panels used in (WS1)–(WS17) differ in their point and smear geometry, but
have the same finite Taylor order and the same calibration test system. We justify the common
matrix, rather than choosing three unrelated solutions.
At a fixed degree and sufficiently late
stop, the detector matrix of that calibration system is invertible by (PC1)–(PC13). Select the
solved chart at one anchor panel. Its defining equations prescribe its pairings with that test system.
For any other panel, transport the same local representative and the same Taylor card to its
allowed geometry. The support, threshold, and budget equalities make its equations identical to
the anchor equations. Uniqueness of their solution then gives the same field matrix T at that panel.
Signed covariance follows by transporting the solved equations under a signed permutation and
again invoking uniqueness. This proves simultaneously the tested-chart and signed-intertwining
properties needed in (WS1).
More concretely, the inverse chart is T −1 after the field dilation and its engineering-weight factor.
Applying the defining calibration equations to a basis proves that it solves those equations; the
unit equation gives the unit, and conjugating or turning the equations gives conjugation and signed
covariance. Finite dimensionality bounds the finitely many inverse coefficients after the detector
lower bound has been paid. These are precisely the coefficients used in the rooted comparison
estimate, including on the smear panel. There is no separate choice of an inverse for each spectator
word.
For a fixed finite horizon each panel has finitely many local demands, all eventually paid. Take
their maximum together with the common detector and monitoring thresholds.
At this stage
the anchor solution transfers to all three panels at every finer cutoffand every admitted volume.
Choose the stops by the cofinal advance already used in (WS16), satisfying these finite maxima
and each earlier horizon.
Passage to the common coefficient subsequence preserves the tested
equations because their finite pairings converge. Therefore the point, displaced-point and smeared
comparisons have the same limiting field identification and may be combined in the trace and Ward
arguments.
23.4
Common scaling maps and convergence of every derivative
The comparison of a physical field with a free field must use one map for all its readings. Here is the
construction, including the compactness and interpolation steps. Fix a finite maximum number of
slots, a finite field horizon and a bounded separated configuration window. During this construction
these bounds may be enlarged to include detectors and derivatives. The physical table, its null
quotient and its limiting correlations remain those already constructed.

(WS1)
For each free coefficient basis vector at each requested degree, the insertion construction gives a
column of physical reference coefficients. Its bound is finite for each fixed k, d, uniformly in the
late mesh and large period. These bounds are not asserted uniform in k. Extract the finitely many
coordinates of each column on their compact balls, first in the mesh limit at a retained period
and then in the period limit.
Diagonalize over the countable pairs (k, d).
The resulting maps
Uk,d : F free
d
→Fd initially need not be invertible or commute exactly with the inclusions. Reality,
the signed permutation action and the unit pass to the limit since they are finite linear equalities.
The estimates that permit this extraction also supply numbers Ak ≥0, for every fixed word
length n, with
δkAn
k −→0.
(WS2)
The center and comparison estimates are imposed at levels m ≤j satisfying
am < rk/Q,
6naj < am,
aj < rk/(4Q).
The insertion supports are therefore separated before the comparison is taken. On the rescaled
lattice, the aligned comparison tends to the free correlation. On a configuration window in which
all the required coordinate projections have a fixed strict gap, the long finite-difference estimate
gives
|S(Ukv; rkx)| ≤An
k,
|∂xl,αS(Ukv; rkx)| ≤4QAn
k.
(WS3)
Rounding to the rescaled lattice changes a coordinate by O(δk); the resulting error vanishes by
(WS2). Thus the correlations converge to the free ones on these coordinate-generic windows. All
bounds here are for a fixed finite word and fixed window. No uniform bound on all fields or all
degrees is being taken.
To fit the coefficient maps, use compactly supported smooth tests in the coordinate-generic
part of the separated configuration space. Their readings separate the free quotient. Indeed, a field
whose every such reading vanishes has zero correlations there by the fundamental lemma for test
functions, and then on the entire separated space by continuity and density. Finite dimension now
gives finitely many separating readings at each receiving degree. Spectators in these readings can
have larger degree than the field being detected; enlarge the common horizon accordingly. If Ed
denotes this finite injective reading map, the physical readings of Uk,d converge, in matrix norm,
to Ed. Injectivity is open for maps on a finite-dimensional domain: choose a left inverse Ld of Ed;
when ∥Ld(Ek,d −Ed)∥< 1, the matrix LdEk,d is invertible. Thus Uk,d is eventually injective. The
previously constructed spanning family gives dim Fd ≤dim F free
d
, so it is eventually an isomorphism.
We make explicit the finite-horizon estimates preceding these readings. A centered budget is the
reflection-positive seminorm for every signed or conjugated copy of the one insertion in a reporting
chamber. For a word of n insertions, take n chambers whose centers may be shifted within a finer
common chamber. If distinct points have at least one coordinate difference larger than rk/Q, the
inequalities preceding (WS3) permit these shifts so the inspected insertion cells are disjoint. Apply
Cauchy–Schwarz in the positive reflection form successively in the separating coordinate directions.
Each insertion contributes its centered seminorm at most Ak; no factor depends on the volume or
the microscopic cutoff. Thus the finite Wilson word has magnitude at most An
k.
Take its ordered mesh and period limits at a coordinate-generic tuple. The fitted coefficients
converge in their finite-dimensional balls, and multilinearity permits them to vary along the limit.

The same bound passes to the limiting correlation. On the open set of tuples with some separating
coordinate for each pair, the correlation is continuous and the generic tuples have full measure and
are dense. Therefore the bound extends to every tuple in that open set. This proves the first part
of (WS3) on the entire separated window, including coordinate ties.
For a coordinate-generic tuple with all coordinate gaps larger than 1/Q, move one coordinate a
positive rescaled distance t < (4Q)−1. On the microscopic lattice perform the integer displacement
⌊rkt/aN⌋in that coordinate. Its physical length tends to rkt. The long finite-difference estimate
for the same centered budgets, with available gap rk/(4Q), bounds the difference of the two Wilson
words by
An
k
rkt
rk/(4Q) = 4QAn
kt.
(WS8)
Both endpoint readings converge with their original placements and coefficients.
Pass through
the ordered limits, divide by t, and let t ↓0 through endpoints that remain generic. Smoothness
identifies the limit with the coordinate derivative and proves the second bound in (WS3). This
estimate is uniform on a fixed strict coordinate-gap window. It is not used with Q tending to
infinity near a projection tie.
The small quantity in (WS2) has the following precise use.
The finite suppliers provide it
separately for every word in a fixed finite-degree basis and all its signed and conjugated variants.
Taking a maximum over finitely many words preserves convergence to zero.
Indeed, if ak,w ≥
0 and δkan
k,w →0 for each of finitely many w, then δk maxw an
k,w = maxw(δkan
k,w) →0.
The
polynomial prices of the solved columns are (PC12)–(PC13); the rooted insertion and aligned
Gaussian estimates provide these centered budgets and the aligned word comparison on the same
station. The finite estimates must supply these products at their actual station radius and grid;
the grid cannot be altered independently after a comparison has been purchased. Thus varying
labels in a bounded finite-dimensional set costs a fixed finite sum of these basis bounds, rather than
requiring uniformity over an infinite set of labels.
Here is the scale and price bookkeeping in that last statement. For each requested station k,
all degrees through the horizon use one earlier index a(k) ≤k, with
a(k) −→∞,
sk −sa(k) ≤log bβk,
aa(k)
ak
≤bβk.
(WS11)
The last inequality follows by exponentiating the preceding one, since ai = e−si. At the comparison
radius rk the actual rescaled mesh is aa(k)/rk = mag−1
a(k). The common finite matrices are taken to
sublimits along the same comparison filter below the retained ordered filter. Each pair of degrees,
each spectator and each placement therefore uses these same matrices and this same radius.
The reverse coefficient transport from a level m to k ≥m has price
quotak(v) ≤(am/ak) quotam(v).
(WS12)
Indeed one step costs the column allowance Ri+1 ≤Li; multiplying those inequalities gives
Qk−1
i=m Li = am/ak. The solved readout at a(k), followed by its exact field-number and engineering
dilations, consequently supplies a preimage y for every actual coefficient v, with
∥y∥≤2a−d
k
quotak(v).
To check the factor two, its approximate matrix differs from the exact awake coefficient by at most
half the awake coefficient size, as in (PC7); the triangle inequality bounds the approximate size by
twice the awake size. The field shrink is at most one and the comparison magnification at least one,
so undoing their positive dilations cannot increase the weighted coefficient size. Formula (WS12)

then gives the displayed bound.
This argument applies to the full coefficient space, including
equation directions, before restricting to the physical quotient.
The magnification and each fixed finite sum of its engineering and field-number powers have
rate zero relative to log bβk. For example the label price is bounded by
2
X
α
(2 monitora(k))fαmag rα
a(k).
For every ε > 0, each fixed power is eventually at most bβε
a(k) ≤bβε
k; the finite sum has the same rate-
zero property. These are the actual finite-horizon prices used with the rooted insertion estimates.
The centered estimates assert jointly, for a word of length n, the existence of reporting levels m ≤j
such that
am < rk/Q,
n(6aj) < am,
aj < rk/(4Q),
An
k(aa(k)/rk) →0.
(WS13)
The first three conditions give the movable disjoint chambers used in (WS8); the last is exactly
the price needed in (WS9). They are imposed together with the aligned moment comparison, not
inferred merely from the two-field detector limit. In passing from a basis to bounded arbitrary
labels, expand every slot in the fixed finite basis and sum the products of the coordinate norms.
The finite sum preserves both the vanishing comparison error and the last limit in (WS13).
The smeared station version says the same thing without committing to a grid interpolation: for
every smooth test t in the stated separated window, with ∥t∥∞≤M, the ordered upper error is at
most εM Q
l∥vl∥. Its finite-cutofflift is bounded, real, signed-equivariant, and sends the unit to the
actual reference unit. Its scale and normalization are fixed for all those tests. Enlarging the arity,
window and degree and decreasing the error preserves the previous requests. The common-order
selection first retains these finite data, then uses (WS4) and finite detecting matrices to obtain
all derivative estimates. Thus neither the conditional formulation of a station estimate nor the
existence of a two-point comparison is being used as a substitute for the joint estimates (WS13).
The simultaneous centered supplier can be described explicitly; it is stronger than a two-point
Gram comparison. Fix a degree cap D, an arity cap n ≥2, and a compact separated window. The
actual construction provides three calibrated panels at exponents a, b, e, on one family and with the
same coefficient matrices. The bounds used for a panel are its solved-column and marked insertion
bounds (PC1)–(PC13), together with the rooted comparison of the entire requested finite word.
Denote the common monitor by Mk, and write Hk(t) = Mt
k. In the source this is bill(t, clim k);
thus Hk(t)Hk(u) = Hk(t + u). A primary comparison radius is rk = akHk(a), its mesh spacing is
δk = Hk(−a), and a small motion allowance is pk = Hk(c). Choose the exponents so that
c < 0,
b + 6 < a,
e + 5 < a + c,
(a −b)Dn + c < 0,
(a −e)Dn −a −c < 0.
(WS14)
There is no obstruction to these finite numerical choices.
Put x = 7Dn + 1, y = x + 6, a =
17+D+x+yDn+y, b = a−7, e = a−y, and c = −x. Then 7Dn−x = −1, e+5 = a−x−1 < a+c,
and yDn −a + x = −17 −D −y < 0; also all three panel exponents exceed D + 6. These are
the source’s finite choices. The calibrated panel supplier is chosen with these exponents before
extraction.
Here is how that supplier yields centered bounds, rather than merely ordinary moment bounds.
For a single basis label, the rooted comparison applied to the singleton at the origin controls the
observable minus its free scalar value by the word error εk →0. The centered root seminorm is
subadditive, is homogeneous in scalar coefficients, and assigns norm one to the constant observable.
Thus its full observable has root seminorm at most 1 + |rfree|, eventually. Interior support in the
centered chamber holds at every translated origin by locality of the observable; translation of the
437


## Source page 441

chamber preserves this root seminorm. This gives a uniform centered bound at the panel’s own
width, including its constant part.
Changing the panel magnification from b to a multiplies a coefficient of engineering degree
q ≤D by Hk(a −b)q. Expand in the fixed finite label basis. The triangle inequality therefore gives
the centered price
Ak = C Hk((a −b)D).
(WS15)
The same argument at panel e gives A′
k = C′Hk((a −e)D). To include every signed and conjugate
variant, first apply these finite transformations to the free label, expand each in the same basis,
and take the sum of their finitely many coordinate prices. The coefficient lift intertwines these
transformations and sends the unit to the actual reference unit, so the resulting bound is for the
required physical transformed token. All slots of the word are included before taking the maximum
constant. Thus one reporting width works simultaneously for the word; it is not selected after
seeing its offsets.
The available plateau geometry gives, for jb the reporting width at panel b,
n(6ajb) < ajb−1,
ajb−1
ak
≤Hk(b + 6),
aje
ak
≤Hk(e + 5).
(WS16)
The first follows because one blocking factor tends to infinity. For the other two, the principal
plateau length costs Hk(b) or Hk(e); the rounded length and two buffer lengths cost at most five
further monitor powers, and passing to the preceding block costs one more. The block factor is
bounded by the monitor and its tenth power dominates the fixed covering-size buffers. Multiplying
these inequalities gives exactly the exponents b + 6 and e + 5, rather than changing the comparison
radius.
Equations (WS14)–(WS16) now give the simultaneous vanishing products needed in the moving-
chamber proof:
An
kpk −→0,
(A′
k)nδk/pk −→0,
4nδk ≤pk
eventually.
(WS17)
Indeed their first two exponents are the last two negative numbers in (WS14); the third uses −a < c,
which follows from the last inequality there. Also ajb−1 < rk/(2R) and aje < rkpk eventually, by
the two strict panel gaps in (WS14). These two widths are the two centered budgets needed for
the shift across a grid tie and for the comparison away from it.
The rooted whole-word error
is CRεk →0. The moving-chamber decomposition (WS8)–(WS9), with its strip of width pk, is
therefore valid jointly in all slots. Integrating it against a test of supremum M gives the station
error εM Q
i ∥vi∥, including projection ties. This is the actual three-panel route to the joint station
statement. The simpler conditions (WS13) record the part of that geometry used by its one-width
formulation; no two-field estimate is being used to supply a whole-word centered estimate.
For clarity about existence on the chosen trajectory, the dense calibrated supplies retain fixed
three-panel exponents at each horizon, the foregoing inequalities, and the actual solved charts at
a predecessor g(k) →∞satisfying (WS11). Their availability is paid by the same delayed local
insertion and marked comparison schedule used for (PC1)–(PC13). The finite horizon does not
depend on the requested extraction order. Passing their finite matrices to limits on a fixed common
subfilter preserves those charts and gives the smeared comparisons for their continuum fields. At
each horizon, the finite-dimensional derivative and inclusion adjustments in (WS4)–(WS7) act
on these fields. Finally choose an increasing integer horizon whose every finite requirement has
already become valid at index k: if KD is a threshold for horizon D, use the largest D ≤k with
maxj≤D Kj ≤k. It tends to infinity. This is the common diagonal; it preserves the physical index
k, the fixed family, and the inherited subfilter. It does not retune the grid for individual spectators.

These same readings control the inclusions and derivatives without requiring a bound on the
inverse in the physical coefficient norm. In a rescaled position variable, integration by parts is

Every inverse used in this deduction acts on a finite detector matrix with a fixed injective limit. It
does not presume that the physical charts are uniformly conditioned.
One can make the first line of (WS5) exact.
Choose left inverses Pd of the free adjacent
inclusions. Average them over the finite signed permutation group and then average with their
complex conjugates. The averaged maps are still left inverses and now respect both symmetries.
Define recursively
Xk,0 = Uk,0,
Xk,d+1 = Iphys
d,d+1Xk,dPd + Uk,d+1(1 −Ifree

(WS6)
Substitution of Ifree
d,d+1v proves exact compatibility with the adjacent inclusion, hence with every
inclusion by composition. Induction in d, using (WS5), gives U−1
k,dXk,d →1. Consequently these
maps are eventually isomorphisms, preserve the unit and symmetries, and still satisfy the second line
of (WS5). On the finitely many exceptional indices choose any isomorphisms; these choices do not
affect a limit. Conjugation by matrices tending to the identity preserves all the finite-dimensional
limits just obtained.
It remains to remove coordinate-generic restrictions and to pass to all position derivatives. For
a fixed word let
Rk(x) = S(Xkv; rkx).
∂l,αRk(x) = S(Xkv1, . . . , XkDk,αvl, . . . ; rkx),
Dk,α = X−1
k,d+1rk∂αXk,d.
(WS7)
The matrices Dk,α converge to the free derivative matrix. By multilinearity, readings with any
converging finite list of coefficient vectors have the same limiting readings as their limits. Also
(WS2) applies to the finitely many successor-degree basis words in (WS7). It bounds δk times every
needed gradient by a quantity tending to zero on a slightly larger separated window. Interpolate
from nearby sampled points to arbitrary separated points along short coordinate segments in that
larger window. Their total length is O(δk). The fundamental theorem of calculus and (WS7) make
the error tend to zero. The argument does not require a positive gap between distinct coordinate
projections: the points themselves stay separated.
Repeat (WS7) for each differentiation. For m derivatives use the m successor degrees for the
differentiated labels and one additional degree for the interpolation gradient. Thus a horizon D
proves the assertion when d + m < D. The finite sum over basis components proves convergence of
the full derivative tensor in its norm. This convergence is uniform on every compact separated win-
dow. Otherwise a sequence of points violating uniform convergence has a convergent subsequence
in that compact set; the moving-point interpolation just proved gives a contradiction. Enlarging
the initial finite request supplies every prescribed derivative order, word and compact window, on
the same retained physical hierarchy.

The interpolation near projection ties uses a different gradient bound from (WS8). On a slightly
larger separated window each gradient in (WS7) is a finite sum of readings of successor-degree basis
words, with coefficients from Dk,α. These coefficient matrices converge and hence are bounded. The
first, all-separated part of (WS3) applied to those basis words and the finite-maximum argument
above therefore give
δk
sup
larger separated window
∥∇Rk∥−→0.
(WS9)
Round every coordinate to the rescaled mesh, then perturb the rounded coordinates by distinct
bounded integer offsets to make every coordinate projection different. The number of forbidden
equalities is finite for a fixed word, so one fixed finite list of offsets suffices. The displacement
remains O(δk).
For large k, all short joining coordinate segments stay in the larger separated
window. The integral of the gradient along them is o(1) by (WS9). This proves interpolation also
at coordinate ties without losing a power through a shrinking coordinate gap.
There is one final sign choice when these maps are required to identify the normalized physical
stress with the free stress. Each enlarged finite request allows one of the two signs of the physical
conserved line. If one sign works for all requests, retain it. If a particular request excludes it,
enlarge any subsequent request to include that one; its available map must use the opposite sign
and restricts to a map for the subsequent request. Hence one fixed sign works for every finite
request. Subsequent normalization fixes its amplitude as explained below.
For completeness, a single sequence realizing all the finite requests is obtained as follows. At
arity n, exhaust the separated space by
Kn,j = {x : max
l
|xl| ≤j, min
l̸=m |xl−xm| ≥j−1},
(WS10)
with the minimum condition omitted for zero or one slot.
Enumerate the countable requests
consisting of an arity, a finite tuple of degree bounds, a derivative order and an integer j. At
stage s, enlarge one finite request to contain the first s requests, their finitely many basis words,
the detecting spectators, and one extra derivative degree. Use the finite construction on the same
physical hierarchy and the same chosen stress sign. Along its available comparison sequence choose
a station late enough that the radius is below 1/s, the rescaled mesh is below 1/s, all the first
s derivative errors on their compact sets are below 1/s, and every required instance of (WS9) is
below 1/s. There are finitely many conditions, each eventually true, so such a station exists. Pad
maps above this stage’s horizon by arbitrary fixed isomorphisms; every fixed degree eventually lies
below the horizon.
The selected stage-s maps and radii form one common sequence. For a fixed enumerated request,
all later stages include it and give errors at most 1/s; hence it has the claimed limit. Every compact
separated set lies in some Kn,j, so this proves all the asserted compact limits. If ordered mesh-period
coefficient extractions are refined during these constructions, retain their countable columns and
inverse charts together by the ordered compact extraction already used in (WS1): at each period
take mesh limits first, then refine the period sequence and diagonalize the countable coordinate list.
This preserves the same table and stress. The station diagonal just described is taken after those
ordered limits and does not identify them with an arbitrary joint cutoff-volume diagonal. At any
one station only its finite horizon is asserted; every fixed request is eventually included.
Source–readout formulation.
The scaling maps are the interface between the two realized
sectors over the common label algebra. They are not canonical: each Xk,d is selected by compactness
and diagonalization and corrected by (WS6), and the statement proved is about the limit of readings,
not about the maps. What is recovered is the short-distance germ of the interacting hierarchy at

Proof. This assembles (WS1)–(WS17), Theorem 23.1 (for the two-point comparison and moving
labels) and the detector argument of Theorem 16.7.
One calibration matrix serves the three panels (trace, stress and rotation): the same finite reader
list and the same matrix of readings are used for all three, so the three conclusions are statements
about one realized family and can be combined. This is the common-witness requirement of the
method in the form in which it is needed here.
23.5
Constructing the physical stress and its shell charges
We first detail the rank transfer on centered tensors. A scaling isomorphism need not take the free
expectation functional to the physical one. Let c0(v) = v −⟨v⟩01 and c(v) = v −⟨v⟩1 be the two
centering maps. Apply them componentwise to tensors. For a late scaling index, Uk,4 intertwines
reality and signed symmetries and fixes the unit. It therefore induces the map
Rk : K0 −→K,
RkB = c(Uk,4B),
(SR1)
between the real centered symmetric signed tensor spaces. Its inverse is A 7→c0(U−1
k,4A). Indeed the
first centering subtracts only componentwise unit multiples. The inverse isomorphism carries those
units to units, which the second centering kills; the remaining term is the original centered tensor.
Thus these are exact inverse maps even though the two expectations differ. The corresponding
degree-five isomorphism Qk on real signed polar vectors needs no centering correction.
Write D0, D for the free and physical divergence maps on these centered tensor spaces. On the
fixed free spaces consider
Zk = Q−1
k
rkDRk.
(SR2)
Derivatives of the unit are zero, so the centering correction in (SR1) contributes nothing to (SR2).
The derivative comparison (WS7) gives ZkB →D0B for every B. The free calculation makes D0
onto and its kernel one dimensional. Choose a right inverse G of D0. Then ZkG →I in matrix
norm, by convergence on a finite basis. Eventually ∥ZkG−I∥< 1; the geometric series makes ZkG
invertible, hence Zk onto. Since rk > 0 and both surrounding maps in (SR2) are isomorphisms, D
is onto. The exact dimension equalities from (SR1) and Qk, followed by rank–nullity, now give
dimR ker D = dimR ker D0 = 1.
(SR3)
This establishes the conserved centered line without identifying the expectation functionals through
Uk.
The physical stress is selected on the common field quotient, before its final amplitude is fixed.
At weight four the real signed symmetric tensor space includes the vacuum tensor as well as (FC3),

so it has dimension four. The rank comparisons transfer this dimension from the free table to the
physical table and identify it with the image of the four real reference coefficients
Jab(w) =
(
w0 1 + w1
P
i Qai,ai + w2
P
i,k Qik,ik,
a = b,
w3
P
i Qai,bi,
a ̸= b.
(SC1)
In (SC1) take the actual physical classes of these reference labels, not their free polynomial values.
The physical weight-five polar vector space has dimension at most two, by the same rank comparison.
Differentiation on the quotient therefore gives a linear divergence map from a four-dimensional real
space into a space of dimension at most two:
(∇J)b =
X
a
∂aJab.
(SC2)
Its range is polar because the signed derivative transformation has one sign for each derivative
index; summing over that index cancels its squared sign.
Adjoin the real one-point reading of J00 to (SC2). The resulting map has target dimension at
most three and thus has a nonzero kernel. Choose w in that kernel and normalize its Euclidean
coefficient norm to one. The tensor map (SC1) is injective by the four-dimensional rank comparison,
so J(w) ̸= 0. It is conserved and its 00 mean vanishes. Reality makes every diagonal mean real;
translation makes each mean constant in position; unsigned permutations make all diagonal means
equal; reflection in one of two different indices negates an off-diagonal mean. Thus every mean
vanishes. This constructs a centered nonzero real symmetric conserved tensor. It does not yet
select its sign or claim its Ward charge is the unit translation generator.
Here is the normalization of this line along the comparison curve. For any nonzero tensor J in
it and the fixed nonzero free tensor T 0, put
Bk = U−1
k,4(r4
kJ),
ξk = ∥Bk∥
∥T 0∥> 0,
eBk = ξ−1
k Bk.
(SR4)
The inverse and norm here are on the full tensor coordinate space, including its scalar directions.
The norm of eBk is exactly ∥T 0∥, so finite-dimensional compactness gives a convergent subsequence
with limit B of that norm.
No positive lower bound on ξk is needed.
Closedness of the real
signed symmetric space puts B in that space. Its free mean is zero: the one-point comparison for
bounded converging labels applies to eBk, while its physical image is the positive scalar multiple
ξ−1
k r4
kJ, whose expectation is exactly zero. Applying the converging derivative matrices (WS7) to
eBk similarly passes the exact physical divergence zero to the free divergence zero. Thus B ∈ker D0.
By its one-dimensionality, B = cT 0 for real c; equality of norms gives |c| = 1. Choose the single
sign of J that makes c = 1. Restricting the comparison parameter to this subsequence preserves
all earlier limits and exact compatibility laws. This proves the normalized stress comparison used
above; its eventual Ward amplitude is fixed separately below.
The finite lattice Ward identity associated with this construction retains its residual explicitly.
At spacing aN, write T N,p
ab (x) for the calibrated cylinder (SC1). Define its symmetric divergence, a
clover-based directed Wilson variation, and its residual by
diva Tb(x) = (2aN)−1 X

[Tab(x + ea) −Tab(x −ea)],
∆bF(x) = (2a5

Here Xbi is the signed clover: one quarter of the four oriented plaquette curvature readings, with
signs +, −, −, + for (+b, +i), (+b, −i), (−b, +i), (−b, −i). All are transported to the common base.
Its adjoint covariance and antisymmetry follow by reversing the corresponding plaquette words. In
a color orthonormal basis ec, the contact is P

is β⟨X, forcex,±i⟩−P

Differentiate the change of variables in the finite Haar integral; the derivative of the Wilson density
gives the force, and the product rule gives the derivative of X and of F. Compactness and continuity
of the finite word derivatives justify moving that derivative through the integral. Linearity over
the color basis proves (SC4) for the group-valued clover vector field.
For a lattice cutoffχ, a vector field V , an enclosed insertion F and an exterior word E, let
Wab(x) = (χ(x + ea) −χ(x))Vb(x + ea) + (χ(x) −χ(x −ea))Vb(x −ea)

(SC6)
Use (SC4), the product rule, and finite symmetric summation by parts. The term with the discrete
derivative of V vanishes for the constant and skew-linear Killing fields in question, by symmetry of
T. The shifted V ’s in (SC5) are essential for this algebra. The derivative of E vanishes when each
active Ward center avoids its full local insertion footprint. This is a support condition on the whole
cylinder, stronger than just excluding its marked point. Taking absolute values in the second sum
gives its exact error bound. No smallness of A, including at the enclosed insertion, follows from
this identity alone.
The continuum charges are instead supplied by the paid short-distance product estimates. Their
input is the actual isolated product
r hIJab(⌈y/aN⌉)IB(0) −Iu(0),
D + h = d + 4,
(SC7)
with B of weight d and u in the one fixed horizon D. At a fixed shell its coefficient bound may
depend on that shell. It is common to every exterior test at that shell. The estimate is a rooted
cylinder estimate on the reporting cell and on all its specified aligned seams and offsets, not only
a two-point expectation. The paid product construction and weighted mesh interpolation give, for
each finite family of exterior tests annihilating every D-field,

The schedule uses rm > 0 tending to zero and a finer mesh level j(m) with sj(m)/sm →t > 1. The
product price chooses t = 1 + 1/[64(d + 12)], so (d + 12)(1 −t) = −1/64 > −1/32; its exponential
gain dominates the growth of the two insertion columns. The rooted remainder after the exterior
stencil estimate is at most 2 stakes(k)/ pitts(m), where pitts(m) →∞. The common all-order
mesh bounds transfer this from the fine reporting grid to the whole annulus, with the finer mesh

small compared with rm/128. These are the annular product estimates used here; the finite Ward
residual in (SC6) is not substituted for them.
Here are the rate choices that supply (SC7), rather than leaving its annular approximation as
an input. Write qi = log(a−1
i ). The calendar has qi+1/qi →1. For t > 1, let j(i) be the first
index with qj(i) ≥tqi. Minimality gives qj(i)−1 < tqi, so squeezing between these inequalities and
qj(i)/qj(i)−1 →1 gives qj(i)/qi →t; also j(i) > i + 1 eventually. A positive sequence of logarithmic
rate b here means log fi/qi →b. Products add rates, quotients subtract them, and composition
with j multiplies them by t. The estimates remain valid with arbitrarily small rate losses.
For D + h = d + 4, the two-field product and shell rescaling bounds give the available local
approximation radius a logarithmic rate
−D + M,
M = (d + 12)(1 −t).
(SC8a)
The d and 4 are the field weights, the h is the shell rescaling, and the additional eight is the pair
of four-dimensional placement bounds. The adjacent insertion remainder starting at level k obeys
the explicit induction bound
mk,i ≤b
 ai

fk
,
(SC8b)
where fi > 0 is its retained error allowance. The induction step is exactly the allowance inequality
ηiLD+1
i
fi ≤fi+1, combined with ai = Liai+1.
Choose t = 1 + [64(d + 12)]−1.
Then M =
−1/64 > −1/32. The test normalization ci = eqi/32 has rate 1/32, while the accumulated coefficient-
normalization gain from level k to i is e(qi−qk)/8, of rate 1/8. Substitution of (SC8a)–(SC8b) into
the finite product approximation leaves the strict inequalities
1
32 −(D + 1) < −D + M,
1
32 −M −1
8 < 0.
(SC8c)
All column counts, fixed-frame norms and logarithmic factors have rate zero. The two strict margins
in (SC8c) therefore pay them eventually, give a positive admissible approximation radius, and make
its rooted error at most 2 stakesp,k /ci, the bound in (SC7). The support requirements hold as well:
the shell radius tends to zero, and the finest mesh times every finite stencil count tends to zero
relative to the fixed physical chamber size. Thus the finite two-field approximation applies at every
point in the required annulus, with bounded coefficient representatives. This is the asserted source
of (SC7).
Why do the approximants in (SC7) disappear from (SC8)? For a finite exterior family, let
LN : ED →C be its combined finite-cutoffreading. Its limiting reading is zero by hypothesis, and
convergence on a basis of ED gives ∥LN∥→0. At each fixed shell ∥uN∥≤A, so |LN(uN)| ≤
A∥LN∥→0, although the approximant itself need not converge. The rooted estimate bounds the
remaining product discrepancy against each exterior word by reflection positivity and its spectator
cell bounds.
The mesh interpolation then gives (SC8).
This argument integrates annihilators,
rather than selecting a new field at every integration point.
Let χ be smooth, compactly supported, one near the enclosed point and zero near the other
insertions. For a Killing field V , define
QV (B; χ) = −
X
a,b
Z
(∂aχ)(y)Vb(y −x0)⟨Jab(y)B(x0) O⟩d4y.
(SC9)
Its integrand is supported on a compact shell disjoint from all insertions, so it is an ordinary
integrable smooth function. Conservation and symmetry imply independence of the cutoff: for
their difference integrate the divergence of (χ1 −χ2)Vb⟨JabBO⟩. The divergence of J is zero, and

the symmetric tensor contracts to zero with the skew derivative of V . The difference vanishes near
every insertion and has compact support, so this integration by parts has no contact or infinity
boundary term.
Take V homogeneous of degree i = 0 or 1 and shrink χ to radius rm.
Changing variables
y = x0+rmz in (SC9) gives the factor r3+i
m : four powers from volume, minus one from differentiating
the cutoff, and i from V .
Choose h = 3 + i in (SC8).
Its bound times the finite integral of
|∂aχ(z)Vb(z)| tends to zero.
Therefore every finite linear relation among the ordinary D-field
exterior readings is satisfied by the flux readings, with D = d + 1 for translations and D = d for
rotations.
Finite-dimensional linear algebra now represents all these flux readings by one field. Indeed, if
functionals Aν ∈E∗
D and values bν satisfy every finite relation P cνAν = 0 ⇒P cνbν = 0, define a
linear functional on their span by Aν 7→bν, extend it to E∗
D, and use E∗∗
D = ED. Faithfulness of the
quotient makes the representing class unique. Initially use generic grid configurations; translation
and continuity of the shell integral and of the kernels extend the same identity to every separated
configuration, including coordinate ties.
Linearity of (SC9) in B and faithfulness prove that the representing field depends complex
linearly on B. Its rotation charge depends real linearly on the skew matrix, by the same argument.
These are the actual unnormalized translation and angular charge maps on the physical quotient.
Their normalization and full rotation laws are established by the subsequent angular-flux and
comparison arguments; centering and the finite-dimensional existence argument alone do not fix
them.
The shell functional also has an ordinary face-flux interpretation.
Let a closed coordinate
box contain x0 strictly in its interior and every exterior insertion strictly outside the closed box.
Integrate each a-component of the current on its upper face minus its lower face, with three-
dimensional Lebesgue measure in the remaining coordinates. This sum equals (SC9). To prove it
choose a smooth window supported strictly inside the box and equal to one near x0. Multiply the
current by 1−χ. It is zero near the only enclosed insertion and smooth at all points of the box. Its
divergence equals −P
a ∂aχ Fa, by conservation and the Killing identity. The ordinary coordinate
divergence theorem applies to this smooth truncated current. On every face χ = 0, so its face
flux is the original one. The volume integral is (SC9), and cutoffindependence gives the equality
for any allowed window. This argument treats faces with their outward orientations and does not
integrate with four-dimensional ambient measure on the surface.
The bounded coefficient in (SC7) is required at each fixed shell before its lattice limit.
It
need not be uniform as the shell shrinks. The order is: fix the finite exterior annihilator and a
reporting level; buy a sufficiently fine seam level; fix a shell index; then take the ordered mesh
and period limits.
At that shell the finite-dimensional annihilator norm tends to zero and the
approximant coefficient is bounded. Only after this limit is taken does the shell radius go to zero.
The rooted error tends to zero by (SC8a)–(SC8c). The same aligned-cell estimate applies on every
seam and offset, so it permits moving a shell node freely in the annulus. This is the joint two-field
approximation required for the shell construction.
Equation terms may be restored before this estimate is used. For one chamber their difference
has zero expectation against every function supported outside that chamber, by the link Haar
identity and avoidance of all the active links. Replace one chamber factor at a time in the full
replicated array. All other factors are supported in complementary chambers, so each replacement
leaves the integral unchanged. Finite induction replaces every chamber, including the conjugated
reflected copies.
Taking the reciprocal-cardinality power then gives equality of the two rooted
seminorms. An equality only for a single unreplicated expectation would not suffice. No contact
error at overlapping stencils is suppressed in this argument: overlap is excluded by the full footprint

condition, and actual contacts are kept in (SC4)–(SC6).
Source–readout formulation.
Theorem 23.3 is a representability statement: the flux reader,
a priori only a family of numbers indexed by exterior words, is the reading of a field because it
respects every linear relation among field readings. This is exactly the method’s criterion for a
function on the readout to descend from the source (here: to lift to a label class), and uniqueness
is faithfulness of the quotient. The amplitude and sign of the stress are fixed in two separate steps
((SR4) for the sign relative to T 0, and the Ward normalization c of Theorem 19.3); the finite lattice
identity (SC6) keeps its residual Ab explicitly and is never used as if that residual were small.
Theorem 23.3 (The charges are fields). For each B of weight d and each Killing field V there is
a unique class in ED/ND whose exterior readings equal the flux readings QV (B; χ) for all exterior
words; it depends complex linearly on B and real linearly on the skew matrix. The same number is
the ordinary face flux through any closed coordinate box containing x0 in its interior and all exterior
insertions outside.
Proof. If functionals Aν ∈E∗
D and values bν satisfy P cνAν = 0 ⇒P cνbν = 0, then Aν 7→bν is
a well-defined linear functional on the span, extends to E∗
D and is represented by an element of
E∗∗
D = ED; faithfulness of the quotient (Theorem 18.3) makes the class unique and gives linearity.
Generic grid configurations are used first and translation and continuity extend to all separated
configurations. For the face flux multiply the current by 1 −χ with χ supported strictly inside the
box: it is smooth on the box with divergence −P
a ∂aχFa, the divergence theorem applies, and
χ = 0 on every face.

The centered trace and its comparison exclusions
A selected observable and an all-distance conclusion.
The centered trace belongs to the
selected theory on its common operator domain. Its two-point function is represented by positive
spectral measures patched from the same physical hierarchy and phase. Universal selection along
arbitrary radii, combined with monotonicity, gives the full short-distance limit. This is stronger than
observing the value on one favorable scaling sequence and requires the station-selection argument
just proved.
The measure, Laplace and Schwartz passages below retain their polynomial bounds and test
classes. They recover
lim
r↓0 r8 log2(1/r)GΘ(r) = 3 dimR g/π4.
The positive constant describes an ultraviolet asymptotic. It is not a positive mass-gap bound.
The ensuing finite mass-shell obstruction uses the precise finite polynomial comparison class, while
the Maxwell arguments use their own coherent-sector and locality hypotheses. Neither exclusion is
silently enlarged to every conceivable free comparison.

Indeed the Euclidean unit law removes a unit slot. Strict complex-time functions agree on imaginary
times and then by holomorphic uniqueness. Fubini smearing gives the factor
R f, and tempered
boundary passage gives the Wightman identity. Pairing with the dense word span makes unit in-
sertion exactly (
R f)I on the domain. Linearity gives TR1; the zero Euclidean one-point function
passes through the same continuation and boundary. Reality and scalar covariance give a Her-
mitian Lorentz-scalar pinned field. For s > 0 define E(s) = ⟨Θ(−se0/2)Θ(se0/2)⟩E. The source

The nonabelian simple algebra has positive dimension and b0 > 0, so the coefficient is positive.
These are the physical-stress and Wilson-calibrated running-charge conventions. Translation and
orthogonal invariance reduce every separated trace pair to E at its Euclidean distance. An orthog-
onal reflection takes their difference to a time-axis vector of the same norm; a common translation
then puts them at the opposed points above. Degree-four scaling identifies the rescaled trace with
4d2 times the free scalar label after logarithmic running normalization. The scalar Wick contraction
is 3 dim g/(π4|x0 −x1|8). Multiplying by running factor b−2
0 /4 and trace factor (4d2)2 gives exactly
AG|x0 −x1|−8 on the extracted radii and nearby generic plots. The positive spectral representation

makes E real, nonnegative and nonincreasing.
Choose generic distances a < 1 < b arbitrarily
near one; their scaling limits are AGa−8 and AGb−8 and their nearby actual distances bracket the
exact radius. Monotonicity sandwiches its normalized value; let a, b →1. If the all-distance TR2
limit failed, choose violating distances tending to zero. The scaling construction admits a refining
subsequence of these very distances with compatible moving plots and degree-four comparison. The
same sandwich contradicts the violations. This proves the full positive-distance limit, beyond the
earlier weak-sequence comparison.
Centered-field and all-distance recovery.

This uses exactly d2 = −b0/2 and the physical stress/running-charge conventions, which are re-
tained rather than independently rescaled. The transported positive spectral measure gives the
same Laplace reader; since p0 ≥0, for s2 ≥s1 > 0 it satisfies 0 ≤EZ(s2) ≤EZ(s1).
To expose the all-distance quantifiers, let rj ↓0 be any proposed violating array and take
its source-permitted refining scaling subsequence. For fixed generic a < 1 < b near one, retain
the actual nearby distances d−
j < rj < d+
j supplied by the moving plots, with the corresponding
normalized limits. Put N(r) = r8 log2(1/r) > 0 for sufficiently small r. Exactly
N(rj)EZ(d+
j ) ≤N(rj)EZ(rj) ≤N(rj)EZ(d−
j ).
The outside limits are AGb−8 and AGa−8 from the retained scaling comparison. Taking a, b to one
forces the middle limit to AG, contradicting a fixed positive violation tolerance. All distances, refine-
ments and scalar readings are identical after recovery. Thus the lift retains the full positive-distance
limit TR2 and its dependence on the positive spectral representation TR3, without replacing the
earlier weak-sequence statement by itself.
The unique positive trace measure has the reconstruction normalization

It has forward-cone support, Lorentz invariance and temperate growth; every positive time damping
has finite mass. Its relative Fourier transform gives the full two-point distribution on joint Schwartz
tests. The joint momentum measures on dense smeared trace vectors patch to this positive measure;
polarization and compact-test separation give uniqueness. The regularized point-vector construc-
tion TR5 and the measure argument TR10–TR17 below give the patching and the ultraviolet limit
explicitly. The lifted trace source retains the selected vacuum, stress label, unit insertion and actual
common domain. Centering readout recovers TR1 exactly. The spectral reader retains its positive
measure and monotonicity, so the generic scaling reader extends to all positive distances without
selecting a new theory. The constants in TR2 retain both the running and trace factors, recovering
the stated logarithmic coefficient; this asserts no positive mass gap.
24.2
The full short-distance limit: monotonicity, universal radius selection and
the sandwich
It is real and nonnegative. Since p0 ≥0 almost everywhere for this measure, 0 < s ≤t implies
e−tp0 ≤e−sp0, and integration proves E(t) ≤E(s). Finiteness at every positive s is part of the
positive-time spectral representation. Thus this monotonicity is available before proving the short-
distance limit; it is not inferred from that limit.
We give the precise selection statement needed here. Fix the physical table, its phase decompo-
sition and its stress tensor. The trace construction selects a comparison ultrafilter below the table’s
mesh-then-volume filter, its retained local data, and one free hierarchy. For every sequence sn > 0

tending to zero, it then provides a strictly increasing map j : N →N, a scaling family on this same
physical table, and its comparison data, whose radii satisfy the exact identity
ri = sj(i).
(TLim1)
The scaling comparison applies to these radii. In particular the statement is not merely that one
favorable sequence ri →0 exists. Nor does it select a different physical hierarchy or phase when
the sequence sn changes. The construction and this universal sequence property were established
in the preceding interacting-to-Gaussian comparison.
First prove convergence along the radii of any such retained comparison. For 1/2 < u < 2, put
x(u)
0
= 0,
x(u)
1
= (u/2, u/2, u/2, u/2).
The four coordinates of the two points are distinct, so this is a generic two-point configuration,
and its Euclidean separation is u.
Its maximum-coordinate separation is u/2 > 1/4, while its
configuration norm is less than 2. Consequently it has a neighborhood in the fixed comparison
window with norm bound 100 and maximum-coordinate separation at least 1/100.
Let bx(u)
i
be the rounded configurations in that comparison, and set di(u) = |bx(u)
i,0 −bx(u)
i,1 |. Round-
ing convergence gives di(u) →u. The actual physical configuration is exactly ribx(u)
i
, not just an
asymptotic replacement of it. The interacting comparison, followed by the running-clock identity
and the free scalar Wick contraction, gives
c(ri)E(ridi(u)) −→AGu−8,
c(r) = r8 log2(1/r).
(TLim2)
The centering and scalar homogeneity used in this identity are retained in the trace-label calculation
below.
The same normalization c(ri), independent of u, is used on both sides of the coming
inequalities.
Fix a < 1 < b in (1/2, 2). Eventually 0 < di(a) < 1 < di(b). Monotonicity and c(ri) ≥0 give
c(ri)E(ridi(b)) ≤c(ri)E(ri) ≤c(ri)E(ridi(a)).
By (TLim2), their outer limits are AGb−8 and AGa−8. Given ε > 0, first choose a, b close enough
to 1 that both outer limits differ from AG by less than ε/2. Then choose i large enough for the two
convergences and the bracketing inequalities. This proves c(ri)E(ri) →AG. The complex pairing
has zero imaginary part by (TR3), so this also proves complex convergence.
Finally, suppose the full right-hand limit at zero failed. There would be ε > 0 and, for every n,
a radius 0 < sn < 2−n such that
|c(sn)E(sn) −AG| ≥ε.
Apply the universal selection statement to this particular sequence. Equation (TLim1) retains this
inequality at every ri, whereas the preceding sandwich proves that its left side tends to zero. This
contradiction proves (TR2) for the full small-scale limit. No density or ratio condition on a single
favorable sequence of radii is being assumed.
Source–readout formulation.
The reader r 7→c(r)E(r) of the selected phase is recovered at
all small r, although each comparison witness (a scaling family) covers only a sequence of radii.
The witnesses form a cover of every sequence, and the recovered quantity is independent of the
witness: the scaling comparison supplies, for an arbitrary sequence tending to zero, a subsequence
along which the limit is AG, on the same table and phase, and the sandwich by monotonicity then
forces the common value. No density or ratio condition on a favourable sequence of radii is assumed.
Monotonicity of E is available before, and independently of, the short-distance limit, because it is
read from the positive-time spectral measure.

Theorem 24.1 (Full limit from a universal subsequence property). limr↓0 c(r)E(r) = AG.
Proof. Fix a < 1 < b in (1/2, 2). Eventually 0 < di(a) < 1 < di(b), and by monotonicity and
c(ri) ≥0,
c(ri)E(ridi(b)) ≤c(ri)E(ri) ≤c(ri)E(ridi(a)),
with outer limits AGb−8 and AGa−8. Choosing a, b close to one and then i large gives c(ri)E(ri) →
AG along every retained comparison.
If the full limit failed there would be ε > 0 and radii
0 < sn < 2−n with |c(sn)E(sn) −AG| ≥ε; applying the universal selection to this sequence,
(TLim1) keeps the inequality at every ri, contradicting the convergence just proved.
With AG = 3 dimR g/π4 from the scalar Wick contraction this is the last displayed clause of the
supplied public conclusion. The exactness class is exact recovery of a limit; the subsequences and
scaling families are retained witnesses, not part of the recovered quantity.
24.3
Trace measure patching and the ultraviolet comparison measure
Let vs, s > 0, be the trace shot at imaginary-time height s, centered at zero. Shot identities give
vs+t = e−tHvs and the two-point reading at heights (−s, s) equals ⟨vs, U(x1 −x0)vs⟩. Its diagonal
momentum measure obeys μs+t = e−2tp0μs. Define
dμΘ = e2p0dμ1.
(TR5)
Comparing any two heights through their sum gives equivalently dμΘ = e2sp0dμs for every s > 0.
Hence its damping e−2sp0μΘ is finite and has the regularized two-point characteristic function.
Taking height s/2 proves TR3. Smearing and the established boundary limit give TR4 and joint-
test Fourier representation. Cone support passes from shot measures; scalar Lorentz covariance and
uniqueness identify every Lorentz pushforward with the same measure. The common polynomial
shot-height bound gives its polynomial growth, detailed below.
Shot-measure and undamping recovery.
Let P be the joint momentum spectral measure.
Under the same Hilbert unitary V , put PZ(B) = V P(B)V −1 and vZ
s = V vs. For every Borel set
B,
μZ
s (B) = ⟨vZ
s , PZ(B)vZ
s ⟩= ⟨vs, P(B)vs⟩= μs(B).
Functional calculus transports the heat semigroup. Comparing heights s, t through s + t therefore
gives
e−2tp0μs = e−2sp0μt,
e2sp0μs = e2tp0μt.
Interpret the second equality first on compact momentum sets, where weights are bounded, then
on all Borel sets by monotone exhaustion. This defines the possibly infinite undamped measure
without applying an inverse heat operator to a Hilbert vector. Its horizontal measure is exactly
μZ
Θ = μΘ, with
e−2sp0μZ
Θ = μZ
s ,
Z
e−2sp0dμZ
Θ = ∥vZ
s ∥2 < ∞.
Taking height s/2 recovers TR3’s time damping. Smearing and the same boundary map recover
TR4 since ΘZ(f)ΩZ = V Θ(f)Ω. Polarization and compact-test separation retain uniqueness; scalar
Lorentz pushforwards therefore recover the same measure. Forward-cone support is unchanged.
Temperate growth and joint Schwartz Fourier representation retain the polynomial shot-height and
boundary dependencies developed below.

For the free contraction put Rai(x) = δai−2xaxi/|x|2, an orthogonal reflection, since multiplying
its two rows and summing the common index gives δab. The curvature covariance is
Curlabij(x) = D(x)(RaiRbj −RajRbi),
D(x) = 4 normal |x|−4.
Orthogonality gives P
a,b,i,j Curl2
abij = 24D2: summing j, i first gives D2(2 −2δ2

a, b gives 24D2. Scalar curvature-square has factor 1/4 in each field, two cross Wick contractions
and dim g colors. Its two-point constant is therefore (1/16)2 dim g 24D2 = 3 dim g/(π4|x|8) in the
source normalization.
Free contraction reader recovery.
The horizontal free-label map retains the finite component

Summing the sixteen ordered pairs (a, b) gives 32 −8 = 24. The two scalar labels retain their
1/4 factors, the cross Wick contractions their multiplicity two and the color sum its dim g. The
recovered coefficient is therefore (1/4)2 2 24D(x)2 dim g, exactly 3 dim g/(π4|x|8) with the source
normalization. This transports the finite calculation used in TR2 with no new stress or Gaussian
normalization.
For ρ > 1 set Z(ρ) = ρ−8 log2 ρ and νρ = Z(ρ)(p 7→p/ρ)∗μΘ. These are positive Lorentz-
invariant cone measures, and TR2 yields
Z
e−sp0dνρ = Z(ρ)E(s/ρ) −→AGs−8

since Z(ρ)/Z(ρ/s) →s−8. Lorentz invariance gives the corresponding limit at every strictly future

The product is 1536πs−8. The cone-supported positive Laplace convergence argument below iden-
tifies this compact-test limit and supplies the stronger Schwartz-test passage. The lifted spectral
source retains all shot measures and their exact semigroup relation. TR5 is an undamping reader
independent of the chosen positive height, so it recovers the same trace measure and boundary
pairings. The ultraviolet reader retains both the scaling pushforward and logarithmic weight, while
TR7 records the normalized candidate with its spatial and temporal integral factors. No finite
height measure is identified prematurely with the undamped one.

The same holds for ν∞. On the cone ∥p∥is comparable to p0; dyadic shells and Schwartz decay

For fρ(x) = ρdf(ρx), change of variables gives bfρ,+(p) = bf+(p/ρ); the joint relative wave transform
has the same identity.
Hence TR9 gives the stated relative and joint Wightman limits.
The
polynomial growth and Laplace continuity assertions used in TR6–TR9 are proved next, followed
by the finite mass-shell obstruction; the subsequent stress correction and Ward calculation derive
the trace coefficient and its Wilson normalization.
Ultraviolet pushforward and test recovery.
The spectral source retains the actual trace
measure, dilation and positive logarithmic weight.
Since μZ

identical on every Borel set:

Combining with TR2 gives TR6 with no change of positive-distance quantifiers.
The Lorentz
action commutes with positive dilation and preserves the same cone, so timelike damping limits
are transported by the identical measure action.
The comparison density retains its normalization independently of this limit.

Consequently the same large-ρ threshold from TR2 controls all R ≥1. To make the Schwartz tail
recovery explicit, choose L > 8 and set ML = supp(1+∥p∥)L|φ(p)|. The uniform energy-slab bound
controls each Euclidean dyadic shell and gives, for R ≥1,

The same holds for ν∞. A fixed compact cutofffollowed by R →∞therefore transports compact-

variables. This recovers the relative and joint distribution limits with the original wave convention
and positive-measure dependencies intact.
Explicitly, if a positive cone measure has
μ{p : p0 ≤R} ≤ARk
(R ≥1),
(TR10)
then its damped-vector bound supplies this with A = e2A0 when the squared height-R−1 norm is
at most A0Rk, since e−2p0/R ≥e−2 on the slab. Euclidean radius-R balls are in that slab. On
2j ≤1 + ∥p∥≤2j+1 the mass is at most A2k(j+1), so
Z
(1 + ∥p∥)−k−1dμ ≤2k+1A.
(TR11)
Boundary overlap only enlarges the bound; this proves temperateness. Let positive μi, ν on the
closed cone C have finite Laplace transforms on its open dual C◦and satisfy
Z
e−u·pdμi −→
Z
e−u·pdν
(u ∈C◦).
(TR12)
Here damping uses the real Euclidean pairing. On the one-point compactification C ∪{∞}, su =
e−u·p extends continuously by zero because u·p ≥1
2(u0 −∥u∥)∥p∥. These real functions multiply by
susv = su+v. With constants they separate points: positivity separates infinity; perturbations of
the time unit by small real vectors separate any two finite points. Stone–Weierstrass gives uniform
density of their linear span. This is the real algebra approximation theorem of Stone [10], applied
on the stated compactification with the point-separation and constant hypotheses just verified. Fix
u ∈C◦and damp all measures by su. Their masses converge by TR12, and their integrals of
constants and sv converge by the transforms at u and u + v. Uniform approximation and bounded
masses give convergence on the compactification’s continuous functions.
For ambient compact
continuous f, the function eu·pf on C, zero at infinity, is such a test and its damped integral is
R f dμi. This proves compact-test convergence, extending to complex tests by real and imaginary
parts. For common TR10 bounds on all measures and the limit, put q = 2k+1A, and choose B with
|f(p)| ≤B(1 + ∥p∥)−k−2. Smooth χR equal to one on radius R and zero beyond R + 1, 0 ≤χR ≤1,
gives
Z
|f −χRf|dμi ≤Bq/R,
Z
|f −χRf|dν ≤Bq/R.
First choose R for the tails, then apply compact convergence to χRf.
This proves TR9 with
uniform tails. The same density argument identifies a positive cone measure uniquely from all its
future Laplace transforms; no signed-measure convergence is asserted. The lifted measure source
retains positivity, cone support, the common polynomial budget and damping family. Its compact
reader is recovered by bounded-mass approximation after damping, and its Schwartz reader by
the explicit Bq/R tail. Keeping the normalized dilation and joint relative transform transports the
same ultraviolet measure to the full tested two-point distributions without exchanging uncontrolled
limits.
Positive Laplace continuity and Schwartz recovery.
All measure operations here are read-
outs of the retained positive cone measure, so the height bound and its spectral integral agree under
the horizontal Hilbert realization. Explicitly
μ{p0 ≤R} ≤e2

e−2p0/Rdμ = e2∥v1/R∥2 ≤e2A0Rk.

The same identity holds for its lifted shot. On the recorded dyadic sets the weighted contributions
are bounded by
2−(k+1)jA2k(j+1) = A2k2−j,
X
j≥0
A2k2−j = 2k+1A.
This recovers TR11 and its temperate bound with the original constant.
For the Laplace continuity step fix u ∈C◦and write λi = suμi, λ = suν on the one-point
compactification. Their total masses are eventually bounded by some M, and the limit mass is
bounded by M as well, increasing M if necessary. The functions sv and constants retain their exact
multiplication and separating properties after readout. If h is continuous there and a finite linear
combination a of this algebra satisfies ∥h −a∥∞≤δ, then

The last term tends to zero by the finite collection of Laplace readings at u and u+v. First choosing
a and then the measure index proves convergence for h. For a compact continuous ambient test
take h = eu·pf|C, extended by zero at infinity; its damped readout is exactly the original f integral.
Thus the compact-test recovery is quantitative and uses bounded positive masses, rather than an
uncontrolled undamping of test functions at infinity. The same argument for two measures with
identical Laplace readings gives their identical compact-test readings and uniqueness.
Finally set q = 2k+1A. Outside radius R ≥1 the Schwartz bound gives
|f −χRf| ≤B
R(1 + ∥p∥)−k−1,
so TR11 supplies each tail bound Bq/R. In particular

Choose R before the index. All weights, cutoffs and constants are unchanged scalar readouts, so this
also recovers the lifted Schwartz limit TR9. The argument retains positive measures, the common
polynomial budget and the full future damping family throughout.

The finite mass-shell polynomial comparison class
There is no bound on colors or on the degrees of the two finite comparison polynomials. Their
elementary contractions, however, are finite sums of fixed mass-shell kernels with finite polynomial
momentum numerators. More generally allow a real continuous homogeneous spatial numerator P
of integer degree j ≥0, energy power k ≥0 and mass m ≥0, with

cross-vertex occurrence bijections, each arc’s finite shell sum and each numerator’s energy/spatial

Mass-shell track source and damping recovery.

The source also retains the absolute weight Q
α |aα| for integrability estimates. Horizontal copying
of each momentum coordinate with its transported Lebesgue measure leaves this realization and
readout identical. The empty list has the one-point source, Q = 0 and weight one, recovering the
unit track.
Each total energy is the sum of nonnegative shell energies, so
e−sQ0 =
Y
α
e−sωmα(pα).
For one factor, continuity of P on the sphere bounds it by a constant times rj. At m = 0 the
absolute radial integrand is at most a constant times rj+k+1e−sr, integrable at zero and infinity. At
m > 0 it is locally bounded by a constant times rj+2 near zero and has polynomial times exponential
decay at infinity. Thus the absolute damped track integral is finite. Product-law Fubini recovers
TR15 with its actual signed or complex factors. If a compact momentum test is supported where
q0 ≤M, then on the source
|φ(Q)| ≤∥φ∥∞esMe−sQ0.
This proves the required compact-test absolute integrability and the locally finite total-momentum
readout, without requiring its weight to be positive.
For a single arc, P(rθ) = rjP(θ) and dp = r2dr dθ, while the shell denominator contributes
1/(2ωm). These three exact factors recover TR16, including its 1/2 and radial power rj+2. Its
angular integral may vanish or have either sign; it is retained as part of the track coefficient.
Finally the finite monomial expansion, occurrence pairing bijections, arc-shell choices and nu-
merator expansion are recorded as a finite index set I. For the two chosen polynomial fields their
comparison reader is exactly P
ι∈I cιLι, with every statistics sign and contraction coefficient in
cι. The lift recovers each summand and its coefficient before finite addition. There is no uniform
bound on field degree or color count across the comparison class; only the finite data of each chosen

comparison are used. The subsequent radial-expansion obstruction applies to this same retained
finite class.
The radial expansion proved below has, for every integer N, a finite sum of sa(log s)b, a ∈Z,
b ∈N, with remainder O(sN). Finite sums and products preserve it: bound one factor by an integer
power and expand the other deeply enough to pay it. In particular each real finite damped track
combination has such an expansion with bounded remainder. The radial expansion itself will be
derived below from the massive integral; it is not an assumption on the comparison fields. No such
real function has a nonzero finite limit after multiplication by s8 log2(1/s). The bounded remainder
vanishes. Combine equal terms and take s = 2−n; each remaining term is a nonzero constant times
(2−(8+a))nnb+2.
(TR17)
Order the finite terms by exponential base then polynomial degree. If the largest base is below
one all vanish. Otherwise the leading term diverges and every lower term divided by it tends to
zero; dividing any supposed finite limit forces its nonzero coefficient to vanish, a contradiction.
To transfer the theorem’s product-test equality to these damped values, represent any compact
smooth momentum test v as the relative wave transform of two Schwartz tests. Choose one Fourier
test equal to one on a ball containing its support, and the other by Fourier surjectivity to give
v; equivalently multiply by that first test and its conjugate, whose squared modulus is one there.
Equality on tensor tests therefore gives equality on all such v. Insert vn = χne−sp0 with compact
smooth 0 ≤χn ≤1 tending pointwise to one. Finite trace damped mass and each track’s absolute
damping justify dominated convergence, giving E(s) = PM
l=1 clLl(e−sp0). Real parts and TR17
contradict the positive TR2 limit. This excludes precisely these finite polynomial comparisons,
without extending the claim to arbitrary free or generalized-free classes. The lifted comparison
source retains occurrence pairings, finite shell choices, coefficients and damping. Its track reader
is TR14 and its imaginary-time reader is TR15. Product-test recovery and dominated cutoffre-
moval identify the same reader as the trace Laplace transform under any proposed equality. The
asymptotic obstruction therefore preserves the exact comparison class and its stated limitation.
Finite asymptotic obstruction and tested recovery.
The track source retains each radial
function and its finite expansion at the requested order, including its remainder bound. To make
the product rule explicit, suppose f = O(s−A), g = O(s−B) for nonnegative integers A, B. Choose
finite approximants F, G with
f −F = O(sN+B),
g −G = O(sN+A).
The orders may be increased so that F = O(s−A) as well. Then fg −FG = (f −F)g + F(g −G) =
O(sN). Finite products and sums therefore retain a finite power/log expansion to any requested
order. Every identity here concerns the same scalar radial readout after lifting; the existence of its
expansions retains the convergent-integral argument below as a dependency.
At bounded remainder order, write the real finite combination as
h(s) =
X
(a,b)∈I
ca,bsa(log s)b + O(1),
a ∈Z,
b ≥0,
with equal pairs combined and zero coefficients removed. At s = 2−n the normalized term is exactly
s8 log2(1/s)ca,bsa(log s)b = ca,b(−1)b(log 2)b+2(2−(8+a))nnb+2.
This retains TR17’s nonzero coefficient and sign. If the finite index set is empty the normalized
remainder tends to zero.
Otherwise the largest exponential base and then largest polynomial

degree determine the leading term. A base below one gives zero; a base at least one gives divergent
magnitude, since b + 2 ≥2. All lower terms divided by it vanish. The same exact scalar sequence
is recovered by the lift, so none has TR2’s positive finite amplitude.
For product-test recovery take η ∈C∞
c
equal to one on supp v, and use Fourier surjectivity to
choose Schwartz f, g with bf+ = η and bg+ = v in the retained convention. Then bf+bg+ = v on all
momentum space. Thus the actual tensor-test reader recovers every compact smooth momentum
test without a density limit in the pair of fields. For fixed s > 0, insert vn = χne−sp0. On the
trace side its limiting error is controlled by the finite positive damped mass; on each finite track it
is controlled by the absolute damped product weight. Dominated convergence therefore recovers
E(s) =

from any proposed equality of the stated tested two-point functions. Taking real parts gives exactly
the preceding finite obstruction. The source–readout translation thus preserves the exclusion of

without changing that class’s scope.

m2+r2dr.
For k = 0, 1 the bounds are respectively rj+1e−sr and rj+2e−sr; all higher cases follow from
Mj,k+2 = m2Mj,k + Mj+2,k.
(TR18)
The gamma integral gives Mj,0 ≤Γ(j + 2)s−j−2. Local differentiation is justified by damping s/2
and gives M′
j,k = −Mj,k+1. Integrate the radial derivative of rj+3e−s
√
m2+r2, whose boundary terms
vanish at both ends and whose derivative is integrable, to obtain
sMj+2,0 = (j + 3)Mj,1,
(sj+3Mj,1)′ = −m2sj+3Mj,0.
(TR19)
Say expansion to integer order a means a finite sum of integer powers and nonnegative log powers
with remainder O(sa).
If f′ = g, g has order a ̸= −1, then f has order a + 1.
Indeed each
finite term has an antiderivative of the same type: s−1(log s)b integrates directly; other powers
use integration by parts. Subtract this primitive. For the remaining derivative bounded by Csa,
integrate to a fixed positive point if a < −1, giving O(sa+1); if a > −1, integrability at zero gives
a finite constant plus that remainder. The integration constant is an allowed term. Start Mj,0 at
order b = −j −2. Given order a ≥b, multiply by sj+3 and apply the integration rule to TR19, then
divide: j + 3 + a ≥1 avoids the exceptional exponent and gives Mj,1 to order a + 1. Integrating
−Mj,1 = M′
j,0 improves Mj,0 to at least order a + 1. If a + 1 = −1, weaken its derivative remainder
to order −2 before integration to obtain order −1; otherwise the rule gives a + 2, which can be
weakened to a + 1. Induction gives all integer orders for Mj,0 and then Mj,1; TR18 gives every
k. This proves the finite expansions used after TR16, without summing an infinite formal series,
and closes that comparison exclusion. The lifted radial source retains its actual damped integrals,
derivative identities and finite-order remainder. Integration is the reader transport, with constants
retained as allowed terms. The induction recovers each requested finite asymptotic horizon and its
explicit error, exactly the data required by the finite-track obstruction.

s interval uses the same damping bound and gives the identical derivative reader −Mj,k+1. In
particular
(sj+3Mj,1)′ = (j + 3)sj+2Mj,1 −sj+3Mj,2
= sj+3(Mj+2,0 −Mj,2) = −m2sj+3Mj,0.
This explicitly recovers the second TR19 identity from the first and the finite recurrence, retaining
all boundary and domination conditions.
The finite primitive reader for a term is explicit. For b ≥0,
Z
s−1(log s)bds = (log s)b+1
b + 1
,
and for an integer l̸= −1 it is
Z
sl(log s)bds = sl+1
b
X
r=0
(−1)rb!
(b −r)!(l+ 1)r+1 (log s)b−r.
Both formulas retain an arbitrary additive constant. For a derivative remainder |R′(s)| ≤Csa,
a > −1, integration from zero gives |R(s) −R(0)| ≤Csa+1/(a + 1). For a < −1, integration to a
fixed positive point gives R(s) = O(sa+1), with the finite constant absorbed because sa+1 diverges.
These bounds recover the source’s precise primitive rule without integrating an infinite series or
discarding an integration constant.
Starting with the zero approximant and remainder order −j−2, record each finite primitive and
its error. If Mj,0 has order a ≥−j −2, the derivative of sj+3Mj,1 has remainder order a+j +3 ≥1.
Its primitive therefore has order a + j + 4; division by sj+3 gives order a + 1 for Mj,1. A further
primitive gives order a + 2 for Mj,0 unless the remainder exponent is −1. In that exceptional case
weaken the remainder to order −2 and recover order −1, exactly as in the source.
Thus each
cycle raises the guaranteed order by at least one. TR18 then supplies every fixed k by finitely
many linear operations. The horizontal reader retains every finite approximant, constant and error
bound. This completes the required translation of the radial-expansion dependency in the finite
polynomial comparison obstruction.

The isolated zero-momentum convention is irrelevant. Physical waves are symmetric under simul-

Schwartz decay and λ{|k| ≤R} = πR2 give square integrability; the exponential sector norm series
defines a physical vector. With σ(f) = UΘ(f)Ω, the excluded condition is
⟨E(−h), σ(f)⟩= ⟨σ(  ̄f), E(h)⟩.
(TR22)
It is required for compact smooth f and real compact smooth h with mutually spacelike supports.
The proof needs f only in one fixed ball of any positive radius, giving the small-region variant. The
pushforward P∗(|Uv|2dΛ) is the translation measure of v by equality of characteristic functions. For
trace vectors it is | bf+|2dμ. Polarization with bounded momentum multipliers gives
bg+(P)σ(f) = bf+(P)σ(g)
almost everywhere.
(TR23)
The difference’s norm equals its L2(μ) counterpart, identically zero, so no exceptional-point Hilbert
evaluation is used. For Rj = 2j, Bn,j = {k : |ki| ≤Rj ∀i} and νq = |q|2λ⊗n, the resulting common
amplitudes obey
νqn,s(Bn,j) ≤μ{p0 ≤(n + 1)Rj}.
(TR24)
TR2 makes this upper bound o(R8
j). The local sector argument below kills every n ≥4 and bounds
the remaining finite sectors by
νqn,s(Bn,j) ≤Cn,sR6
j.
(TR25)
An energy slab lies in its sector barrel, so summing gives CR6
j, contradicting the previously obtained
R8/ log2 R high-energy law. For the common amplitude choose countably many Schwartz vj with
|bvj,+| = 1 on radius-j balls. On the measurable partition where j is the first nonzero Fourier weight
at P, put
q = σ(vj)/bvj,+(P).
(TR26)
For each fixed f, intersect the countably many TR23 full-measure sets to get σ(f) = bf+(P)q, with a
separate almost-everywhere interpretation for each test. Weighted measure equality and exhaustion
by those balls remove the weights, proving

TR23 is its compatible smeared reader; TR26–TR27 recover a single amplitude measure from all
test-weighted spectral readings without claiming simultaneous pointwise identities for uncountably
many tests. The following local sector reader supplies the remaining TR25 bound; its scope remains
precisely the TR22 comparison hypothesis.
Comparison-isometry and common-amplitude recovery.
Keep the Maxwell ambient space,
photon measures, labels and momentum map unchanged. If V : H →HZ is the reconstruction
unitary, the transported comparison isometry is
UZ = UV −1,
(UZ)∗UZ = IHZ,
UZΘZ(f)ΩZ = UΘ(f)Ω= σ(f).
Its physical image, vacuum and translation intertwining are therefore identical. No surjectivity is
added. The transverse projector and simultaneous permutations are the same operators on the
ambient wave space. The coherent probes retain their normalization explicitly:

Thus TR22 has exactly the same two scalar matrix elements after transport, for the same spacelike-
separated tests and the same permitted fixed small ball.
Let Ma denote bounded multiplication by a(P) on the ambient space. Polarized spectral equality
for trace vectors gives
⟨Maσ(f), Mbσ(g)⟩=
Z
a(p) bf+(p)b(p)bg+(p) dμ(p).
Applying this to the two products in TR23 gives the exact squared norm of their difference as
R |bg+ bf+ −bf+bg+|2dμ = 0. Both multiplication operators are bounded since Fourier transforms of
Schwartz tests are bounded. This recovers the wave-space identity without evaluating vectors at
exceptional points.
Retain the countable test sequence vj and the measurable pieces
Aj = {bvj,+(P) ̸= 0} ∩
\
l<j
{bvl,+(P) = 0}.
They exhaust the wave space, since each finite total momentum lies in some ball where a chosen
weight has modulus one. The ratio reader q|Aj = σ(vj)/bvj,+(P) is identical under transport. For
each fixed f, the same countable intersection of full-measure sets recovers σ(f) = bf+(P)q. On any
momentum ball use a vj with unit-modulus weight there; weighted measure equality then recovers
TR27 on that ball, and countable exhaustion recovers it on all Borel sets.
Every labeled sector retains this same amplitude and squared-wave measure. Since P 0 ≤nRj
on Bn,j, its barrel mass obeys TR24 with the same harmless n + 1 allowance for the zero sector.
Conversely P 0 ≤Rj forces every |ki| ≤Rj.
Once the subsequent local sector result supplies
vanishing for n ≥4 and TR25 for the remaining finite labeled sectors, summing those barrel bounds
gives the same energy-slab estimate. Thus the final comparison obstruction retains precisely its
original local-sector dependency and high-energy trace-law dependency in the lifted representation.
24.8
Sector dilation algebra and projected comparison variants
Amplitudes are measurable functions modulo almost-everywhere equality. Define the commuting
slot dilations by
Diq(k) = q(k1, . . . , 2ki, . . . , kn).
Photon measure scaling (k 7→rk)∗λ = r−2λ gives
νDiq(B(d)) = 1
4νq(B(d1, . . . , 2di, . . . , dn)).
(TR28)
Amplitudes finite on every dyadic barrel with R−8
j νq(Bn,j) →0 form a real vector space, by |q+r|2 ≤
2(|q|2 + |r|2), stable under Di by TR28 and containment in the next barrel with fixed loss 26. Thus
every finite polynomial in the Di preserves this restriction. The local distribution argument below
supplies a common finite K with

The shift a−1 includes the electric factor |ki|. Distinct real roots split q into finite eigencomponents

a<t(Di −2a−1)q, it has eigenvalue 2t−1; subtract

permit successive splitting inside already chosen eigenspaces and the other polynomial kernels. Each
simultaneous eigenwave retains the growth bound. For Diw = 2ai−1w, TR28 gives

νw(Bn,j) = R

(TR30)
If ai = 0, shrinking that radius by halves leaves masses equal; continuity from above for finite
parcel mass gives the mass at ki = 0, which is zero. Exhaust barrels to get w = 0. If P
i ai ≥4,
the sub-R8 restriction forces zero base barrel mass and again zero wave. Nonzero waves therefore
satisfy n ≤P
i ai ≤3, and have mass at most CR6
j. Finite squared triangle bounds yield TR25, in-
cluding sector zero. This completes its algebraic conclusion once TR29 is established. For projected
variants, a bounded self-adjoint map acting identically on UH moves across TR22’s inner products
and is removed from coherent vectors. Compact spacelike-separated supports have open neighbor-
hoods with spacelike-separated closures; the trace neighborhood can have closure inside the chosen
ball. Thus the region identity implies the same ball-local identity. For probability-indexed maps
Pz preserving inner products between physical waves and fixing UH pointwise, physical coherent
vectors satisfy ⟨PzE(h), Uv⟩= ⟨E(h), Uv⟩and its reversed counterpart. Scalar integrands are con-
stant in z, so averaging removes the maps and gives the excluded identity. This uses precisely these
conditions, without adding boundedness, linearity or a projection condition for individual Pz. The
weaker projected and averaged versions require no new sector estimate. The lifted sector source
retains the invariant growth space, all commuting dilation operators and finite polynomial ker-
nels. Eigencomponent readout stays within that same growth restriction; TR30 recovers the parcel
masses with exact photon-measure scaling. The zero-slot and large-degree branches are removed
by finite-measure continuity and the retained ultraviolet bound, not by pointwise wave evaluation.
Projection and averaging readers preserve exactly the matrix hypothesis specified above.
Dilation eigencomponents and comparison-variant recovery.
The horizontal Maxwell com-
parison has the identical wave amplitudes on the same photon measure space. Thus every slot dila-
tion Di and almost-everywhere equivalence class is unchanged by readout. Since dλ(2k) = 4dλ(k),
change of variables in one slot recovers TR28 with factor 1/4. In particular
R−8
j νDiq(Bn,j) ≤26R−8
j+1νq(Bn,j+1) −→0.
This proves that all finite polynomial readers in the commuting Di remain within the same growth
space.
A fully explicit simultaneous splitting of TR29 uses its distinct roots λa = 2a−1, 0 ≤a < K.

The denominators are nonzero real constants. Polynomial interpolation modulo the annihilating

operations, with no bounded-operator spectral theorem assumed for Di on this growth space. Read-
out preserves every component and its growth restriction.
For an eigenwave TR28 gives the exact parcel ratio 4|λai|2 = 22ai. If ai = 0, decreasing only
its radius to zero leaves the parcel mass constant; finite-measure continuity identifies it with the
zero mass of ki = 0. If P

the explicit bound | PM
r=1 wr|2 ≤M P
r |wr|2 recovers TR25. Sector zero retains its one-point wave
and constant mass. The local distribution proof of TR29 remains the required dependency for this
finite algebraic conclusion.
For a bounded self-adjoint comparison map P fixing UH, the exact scalar equality
⟨PE(h), Uv⟩= ⟨E(h), PUv⟩= ⟨E(h), Uv⟩
is unchanged under UZ = UV −1.
For the probability-indexed variant, physical inner-product
preservation instead gives
⟨PzE(h), Uv⟩= ⟨PzE(h), PzUv⟩= ⟨E(h), Uv⟩.
The reversed pairing obeys the same identity. Its scalar integrand is constant, so its probability
integral has precisely that value. These recover the projected, averaged and open-region reductions
with their original hypotheses and support geometry intact.

factors are (i|ki|)b and (−i|ki|)b. Dominated convergence gives Tb(f) = 0, so Tb has point support.
A distribution with this fixed seminorm depends on a uniformly finite jet: dominate it by finitely
many Schwartz seminorms of maximal order L. If the L-jet of f vanishes, point support permits
replacement by χ(sx)f. Taylor bounds derivatives of order L −j on |x| ≤C/s by Cfs−j−1; cutoff
derivatives cost sj. Leibniz and bounded weights give every needed seminorm O(s−1). Thus the
distribution vanishes on such f. This gives Lb depending only on TR34, uniformly in remote tests
and slots.
Weighted locality-data recovery.
For a fixed nonzero sector retain its amplitude and photon
coordinates. Its horizontal wave readout is the same q, so every weighted norm in TR31 is un-
changed. Writing k = (k1, . . . , kn), one has Q
i(1 + |ki|) ≥1 + maxi |ki|; choosing 2d large enough
therefore bounds that product weight by a constant times the inverse radial weight furnished by
polynomial ball growth. In particular Cauchy–Schwarz gives the explicit integrability budget

This same majorant controls the test products after the prescribed finite Schwartz seminorms are
taken. The normalized shrinking trace bump and its Fourier transform are retained exactly, with
limit one and modulus at most one.
Thus the ball-local reader recovers TR32 by dominated
convergence, keeping each remote support and imposing no separation between different remote
tests. The coherent-sector extraction below remains its explicit dependency.
The two Fourier signs, electric factors and (−1)b in TR33 are unchanged scalar readouts. Con-
sequently AZ

= Tb as continuous spatial distributions, with precisely
the TR34 seminorm and its uniform derivative order. The time-bump derivatives retain their two
factors (i|ki|)b and (−i|ki|)b. Their common dominated limit therefore transports point support
without altering either frequency branch.
For explicit finite-jet recovery choose a spatial cutoffχ = 1 near zero and put ηα(x) = χ(x)xα/α!
for |α| ≤Lb. These tests have ∂βηα(0) = δαβ through that order. The shrinking-cutoffestimate in
the source gives |Tb(χ(s ·)f)| ≤Cf/s for a vanishing Lb-jet. It follows exactly that
Tb(f) =
X
|α|≤Lb
Tb(ηα) ∂αf(0).
The coefficients and jet are identical under horizontal readout. The order Lb depends only on the
fixed seminorm; its coefficients may depend on the remote tests. This preserves the uniformity
needed for the subsequent single annihilating dilation polynomial.
For C2f(x) = 23f(2x), photon scaling gives
Tb[Diq](f) = 2−3−bTb[q](C2f).
(TR35)
Order-j jets of C2f scale by 23+j, yielding roots 2j for b = 0 and 2j−1 for b = 1. With K = L0+L1+2,
TR29’s polynomial kills all these jets. Its amplitude r therefore satisfies T0[r] = T1[r] = 0 for every
spatial test and every other remote test. For compact smooth momentum w away from zero, use
inverse negative Fourier tests of |k|w for b = 0 and of w for b = 1. The negative parts agree and
positive parts have opposite signs; adding isolates

Small translations preserve remoteness. Multiplying w by its slot’s shell plane wave then makes
the Fourier transform of this integrable integrand vanish near zero in all translation variables.
For an integrable function on a product of forward massless shells, such vanishing implies zero
almost everywhere. Restrict its transform to strictly future lines: positive energies give a bounded
continuous upper-half-plane function, holomorphic inside, with differentiation justified by ue−yu ≤
1/y. A zero boundary interval extends by Schwarz reflection and analytic uniqueness to the whole
line. Continue along future lines, then write every displacement as the difference of two sufficiently
large future displacements. The transform is zero everywhere. Spatial Fourier uniqueness of the
finite complex measure proves the claim. Choose countably many shrinking normalized remote
bumps around a fixed spacelike point, whose shell transforms are eventually nonzero at every fixed
momentum, and spatial cutoffs avoiding zero eventually equal to one at nonzero momenta. Intersect
their full-measure zero-integrand sets in TR36. Shell momenta are nonzero almost everywhere and
all factors are eventually nonzero, so r = 0 almost everywhere. In each slot this proves TR29.
The lifted local-sector source retains weighted integrability, both equal-time data and their uniform
jet orders. TR35 transports the point-supported reader under slot dilation with the electric factor
included. Retaining both b = 0, 1 isolates TR36; Fourier uniqueness and countable probe exhaustion
recover the polynomial amplitude itself, rather than only its separately tested values. The coherent
coefficient extraction required for TR32 follows next.
Dilation polynomial and zero-amplitude recovery.
The slot readout retains q, its photon
measure and both data functionals.
Changing variables ui = 2ki gives a factor 2−2 from the
measure and 2−(b+1) from the electric/energy power; d
C2f±(ui) = bf±(ui/2) supplies the remaining
test transformation.
This recovers exactly 2−3−b in TR35.
For the real polynomial PK(z) =
QK−1
a=0 (z −2a−1), iteration gives
Tb[PK(Di)q](f) = Tb[q]
 PK(2−3−bC2)f
.
The scalar jet eigenvalue on order j is 2j−b. For b = 0 its root index is j + 1, and for b = 1 it
is j. With K = L0 + L1 + 2 all required indices lie in 0, . . . , K −1. Thus the finite jet reader
vanishes for both data of r = PK(Di)q. The horizontal copy retains these exact finite polynomials
and identities, including the electric-factor shift.
For the two tests in the source’s isolation step, denote the common negative-frequency integral
by N and positive-frequency integral by P. The b = 0 equation is N −P = 0 and the b = 1 equation
is N + P = 0. Adding gives 2N = 0, exactly TR36 with its |ki|2 factor. No frequency branch or
conjugation is removed before this step. All integrands obey the retained weighted absolute bound.
Their small-translation readers are the Fourier transform of that same integrable function, with
unchanged shell momenta and phase.
For a strictly future direction in the product of shell variables, its nonnegative energy pairing
u gives the analytic factor eizu, bounded by one for Im z ≥0. On Im z = y > 0 its derivative
is controlled by ue−yu ≤1/y times the integrable amplitude. Thus the source’s half-plane con-
tinuation, zero-interval uniqueness and spatial Fourier uniqueness all apply to the identical lifted
scalar transform. This recovers its almost-everywhere zero integrand, not a pointwise assertion at
exceptional shell values.
More explicitly, a normalized bump shrinking about a fixed spacelike point x∗has shell transform
equal to its nonzero plane-wave factor times ba(εp), with ba(0) = 1.
For every fixed finite shell
momentum this is eventually nonzero as ε ↓0. Use a countable shrinking sequence and countable
compact spatial cutoffs exhausting nonzero momenta. On the common full-measure set for these
probes, all their factors are eventually nonzero, and |ki|2 and the other electric factors are nonzero

almost everywhere. Hence r = 0 as an amplitude class. The same countable readout recovers TR29
in every slot, completing its locality-to-dilation dependency while retaining the coherent-extraction
dependency established next.

The reversed E(−h) inner product has coefficients inLx(h, . . . , h)/

Every power coefficient vanishes.
To justify
uniqueness directly, after lower coefficients vanish divide by the next power of t; for 0 < t ≤1
the tail is dominated by the absolutely summable series at one and tends to zero, isolating the
next coefficient. Each Lx is multilinear and symmetric by simultaneous permutation of momenta
and labels, physical symmetry and product-measure invariance.
Diagonal identities polarize to
arbitrary real lists: expansion at h+tu and symmetry isolate the mixed slot with its multiplicity n,
then induction gives all terms. The spacelike-supported test space is complex linear; real/imaginary
decomposition preserves support. Complex multilinearity gives the general identity with conjugated
lists on its conjugate side. Expand zg = Πzraw
g
in one slot and move the real symmetric matrix
through its finite spatial-label sum onto the transverse wave. It leaves that component unchanged.
Repeat in every slot. Exchanging selected label and summed matrix index is a finite bijection
and leaves other factors fixed. Only finitely many almost-everywhere transverse identities are used
at each particle number; no regular wave representative is assumed.
Now give slot i only the

where x = σ(f), y = σ(  ̄f). The identity b ̄g+(p) = bg−(p) fixes Fourier signs. The real shrinking
trace bump then gives TR32 by its previously paid dominated convergence. With TR26–TR36 and
the high-energy contradiction, this completes the specified Maxwell exclusions. The lifted coherent
source retains the entire convergent sector series, its physical symmetry and transverse constraints.
The scalar parameter reader extracts each coefficient with controlled tail; finite polarization and
projector transfer recover the individual sector reading.
This proves compatibility of the local
matrix reader with TR32 without selecting pointwise representatives or adding separation between
different probe tests.
Convergent coherent coefficient and component recovery.
The horizontal comparison has

Thus coefficient recovery uses an actual absolutely convergent series with the original factorials. If
its lower coefficients through N −1 vanish, division by tN leaves the Nth coefficient and a tail whose
terms are bounded for 0 < t ≤1 by the summable coefficient series at one. Dominated convergence
of that tail as t ↓0 isolates the coefficient. The canceled Gaussian factor is positive and identical
on both sides of TR22; the reversed inner product retains its stated in and conjugation.

Each real sum has the same remote support condition; the empty sum is zero for n > 0. Hence the
diagonal equality recovers every mixed real list. Real/imaginary decomposition then transports the
complex identity with conjugated tests on its conjugate side, as specified in the source.

It uses real symmetry of Π and the almost-everywhere transverse constraint.
Repetition over
the finite slots and finite labels preserves all other factors. A single chosen component per test
therefore selects the indicated label sector exactly.
Together with b ̄g+ = bg−, this recovers the
source’s isolated two-frequency formula. The already paid shrinking real trace bump yields TR32
with the same domination. Thus the coherent-extraction dependency in the locality-to-dilation
argument is recovered without imposing regular representatives of the waves.

Running trace labels and calibrated clock cancellation
In the fixed finite free space choose basis ea and scaling identifications Ui. Along the same refinement
and selected phases,
⟨Uiea(xi)Uieb(yi)⟩χ −→⟨ea(x)eb(y)⟩free.
(TR38)
Rounding error is at most 4n/mi →0, generic separated plots remain admissible, and the com-
parison error oi(1 + M(xi, yi)) →0 since M is continuous at the separated target. For convergent
labels vi, wi, bilinearity gives the finite sum P
a,b(vi)a(wi)b⟨Uiea(xi)Uieb(yi)⟩. Coordinate conver-
gence and TR38 give the free moment of their limits. This is the passage used for the running
centered trace, rather than an interchange of an uncontrolled varying field with a distributional
limit. No infinite-dimensional uniformity is used. Centering Tμν by subtracting its expectation
times the unit preserves symmetry, reality, conservation and charges: unit derivatives vanish and
a constant symmetric unit tensor has zero Ward charge. Its trace differs from the phase-centered
trace by a constant unit. Inverse scaling gives Bir4
i c1, vanishing by the running band below, with
exact unit identifications. In the source conventions,
b0 = 11Cadj
48π2 ,
βslope = 2b0,
d2 = −b0/2.
(TR39)
The last identity is the stress coefficient forceR with this slope, derived in the stress comparison
below. The running trace limit is 4d2Oscale; finite-basis passage and free Wick contraction give the

Each running label carries Bir4
i and the remaining prefactor is (log(1/ri)/Bi)2, so the powers and
logarithms are accounted for before the limit. Explicitly, let bβi = β∗+ gti, ri = e−tiai, g = 2b0 > 0.
The magnifications obey eventually ai ≥1 and 0 ≤log ai ≤Gate( bβi), with Gate(x)/x →0.
Calibration and band comparison give βi/ bβi →1, βi/Bi →1. Hence
log(1/ri)

Here ti/ bβi = (1−β∗/ bβi)/g and the magnification quotient vanishes. Since ri ↓0, l= log(1/ri) →∞
and le−4l→0, giving
Bir4
i = log(1/ri)r4

log(1/ri)/Bi

This proves both the logarithmic normalization and vanishing unit shift. The lifted running source
retains the finite label coordinates, calibrated clock, magnification gate and band ratios. Its moment
reader commutes with finite coordinate limits; TR40 transports the running normalization with
every factor visible. Retaining the exact unit map recovers the selected-vacuum centering from the
convenient stress centering without adding a residual constant to the limit.
Running-label and calibrated-clock recovery.
Keep the free label coordinates fixed and
transport the interacting scaling map as UZ
i
= JiUi. The running-clock cancellation used here
follows directly from the calibrated clock, including the extra magnification in the scaling sequence.
For the selected character readout, the finite matrix of moments is identical:
F Z
i,ab = ⟨UZ
i ea(xi)UZ
i eb(yi)⟩χZ = ⟨Uiea(xi)Uieb(yi)⟩χ = Fi,ab.
All rounding addresses, magnifications and the continuous profile norm are retained. Their com-
parison error therefore still tends to zero on the separated moving plots. For vi →v and wi →w
in this finite space, the recovered moment error has the explicit bound

Thus the same finite coordinate reader recovers TR38 for the running trace label.
Its actual
coefficient limit remains a dependency of the stress correction below; this passage does not replace
that coefficient calculation.
The scalar clock source retains ti, ai, bβi, βi, Bi and the gate inequality. In particular
0 ≤log ai

Together with the two retained band ratios this gives precisely TR40’s 1/g limit. All these are
identical scalar functions of the lifted record. Let li = log(1/ri). Then the unit contribution obeys

The exact unit identification and unchanged zero Ward charge therefore recover the selected-vacuum
trace from the convenient centered tensor. No extra unit term survives the scaling readout.
Finally, bilinearity gives the exact normalization cancellation

Applying the finite-label recovery and the clock limit retains (2b0)−2(4d2)2 multiplying the free
scalar contraction. With the source’s TR39 conventions it yields exactly the displayed AG. Thus
the lift preserves the running charge, centering and scale factors on the same refinement and selected
phase.

Exact stress correction and local quantitative estimates
Exact correction and quantitative near-kernel recovery.
The three finite candidates share
a filter and a common extraction. The correction inverse is applied to the actual detector and
divergence coordinates, so the repaired stress obeys exact conservation and the specified scalar
amplitude. A small detector reading is useful only after the quantitative near-kernel argument
controls the other paid coordinate; it is not an exact kernel statement by itself.
The six local contributions below retain their separate estimates until their sum earns the
required trace bound. Moving positive masses are chosen before the volume estimates, and the
resolvent selectors keep both their finite windows and their errors. Determinant differentiation,
vector/ghost poles and the angular factor eleven are evaluated with those same conventions. This
construction recovers a Ward-normalized scalar coefficient from actual finite objects. It does not
replace the finite calculation by the formal value of a continuum determinant.
25.1
The three finite candidates and their common extraction
Here are the actual finite functions behind the three columns used below.
Write Cab(x) =
curv(Hol□(a,b)(x)), with the curvature coordinate and normalization of (SQ1)–(SQ12), and put
Pija(x) = ⟨Cia(x), Cja(x)⟩. At a fixed issued ticket, the three tensors are

(TF11)
The first is exactly the restored, localized principal tensor (TF0d), including its six antisymmetric
differences and its scalar forward difference. The other two use elementary plaquette holonomies;
there is no new stationary current in their definition. Their free coefficient vectors in the three-
coordinate tensor basis are respectively the principal vector, (0, 0, 1), and (0, 1/4, 0). In the source’s
three-coordinate convention the principal free vector is −weyl. Its physical sign is fixed together
with the Ward charge in (TR41)–(TR44); it cannot be changed independently of that normalization.
All sixteen entries of each tensor, all sixteen individual stencil derivatives, and all four diver-
gences are extracted on the same filter. Explicitly these are the origin functions Jb
ij(0), elmi Jb
ij(0),
and P
i elmi Jb
ij(0), for b = ∅, sh, sc. The tensor entries have degree-four coefficient records and
the derivatives have degree-five records. These records include both the finite-cutofflabel and its

retained limit; extraction of the joint correlation book gives the corresponding fields Li, Ωi, ∆i.
Thus extraction of a divergence is extraction of the sum of its actual finite derivatives, not an
independently selected vector limit.
The local bounds needed here have a direct source.
A plaquette has four links.
If
each matrix link has derivatives through order k bounded by the chart price d, its holon-
omy has price travelCost(G, k, 4, d).
Applying the curvature map gives price z(d)
=
curvatureCost(G) travelCost(G, k, 4, d).
The bilinear product has price 2k∥⟨·, ·⟩∥z(d)2.
Sum
the finitely many axes and multiply the scalar branch by 1/4. This gives a bound independent of
the torus and the ticket, supported in radius four. One stencil derivative enlarges the radius to
eight. The scheduled small-field extension makes these bounds into the coefficient and correlation
bounds used in extraction. The issued principal tensor has these same bounds by (TF0d) and its
localization estimates. The condition 20(high(x) + rim(x) + 10) < n makes all integer offsets used
in the coefficient tests nonwrapping.
Taylor projection commutes with the stencil divergence on these records: expand the finite
translates and use the stencil moments from (TF0b). The degree-four stress coordinate therefore
maps to its degree-five divergence coordinate. For the principal branch the antisymmetric differ-
ence corrections have zero relevant tensor coordinate; the scalar difference has zero trace coordinate.
Consequently its free divergence scalar coordinate vanishes. This is the specific low-degree state-
ment used later; it does not say that its entire finite divergence vanishes. The finite action, localized
current, surgery polynomial and coefficient equations are issued by one ticket, so the six terms of
(LCE6) concern this same first branch. The two elementary branches supply the correction columns
in (TR41).
With YiT = r4
i U−1
i
T and Pi = BiYi, their normalized limits and correction are precisely
(TR41)–(TR44): solve the two divergence coordinates for ci,0, ci,1, then set eTi = BiLi+ci,0Ωi+ci,1∆i.
This specifies the finite origin, normalization, and limiting meaning of all three candidates and both
correction objects.
Source–readout formulation.
The three candidates are three realized representatives read on
one filter with one family of coefficient records. The correction is a motion along the two elementary
columns, which span, together with the principal one, the three-dimensional tensor space of (FC3);
by (FC14) the divergence reader separates exactly these directions modulo the equation direction E,
so the corrected tensor is determined by its two divergence coordinates. Extraction of a divergence is
extraction of the sum of the actual finite derivatives, on the same filter, and not an independently
selected vector limit; this is what makes the corrected tensor a single realized object and not a
combination of limits taken along different subsequences. The sign of the principal vector is not a
free presentation choice: it is tied to the Ward normalization of the charge and cannot be changed
independently. For the principal branch only the low-degree free divergence scalar coordinate is
shown to vanish; the whole finite divergence is not asserted to vanish.
25.2
Exact stress correction and its scalar amplitude
The coefficient TR39 is obtained by finite-dimensional correction. The centered real symmetric
covariant candidates Li, Ωi, ∆i have free limits Maxwell stress, a traceless correction and a scalar
tensor of trace 4Oscale. For their two-component divergence detector Ki, put Si(c0, c1) = c0Ωi+c1∆i,
Xi = BiKiLi. The matrices KiSi converge to an invertible free map. In fixed bases factor a nearby
matrix as A(I + A−1Ei); for ∥A−1Ei∥< 1/2 the geometric inverse gives uniform bounds. Solve
exactly
(KiSi)ci = −Xi.
(TR41)

The detector estimate ∥Xi∥≤CRi gives ∥ci∥≤C′Ri, Ri/Bi →0. Since Ki has exactly the true
divergence kernel, eTi = BiLi + Sici is exactly conserved eventually. For ti ≥Ri ≥0, the scalar
detector has
li(Xi) →−g,
tili(KiΩi) →0,
ti(li(Ki∆i) + 4) →0.
(TR42)
Coefficient bounds kill both error products. Applying li to TR41 and rearranging gives
4ci,1 = li(Xi) + ci,0li(KiΩi) + ci,1(li(Ki∆i) + 4).
Hence ci,1 →−g/4 = forceR, with sign and factor four fixed by the detector equation. The primitive
detector estimates are derived below. Write YiT = r4
i U−1
i
T componentwise and Pi = BiYi. The
candidate comparisons give PiLi →TMaxwell, PiΩi →TΩand Pi∆i →T∆. Thus
Yi eTi = PiLi + ci,0
Bi
PiΩi + ci,1
Bi
Pi∆i −→TMaxwell.
(TR43)
The stronger traceless estimates are Bi tr(PiLi) →0 and ci,0 tr(PiΩi) →0. The remaining scalar
contribution yields
Bi tr(Yi eTi) −→4 forceR Oscale.
(TR44)
Only the first coefficient needs a growth estimate; the second has the finite limit just established.
Onto-ness of KiSi makes Ki onto.
Scaling and exact unit identifications equate the centered
physical and free stress dimensions; the detector target has the free divergence-target dimension.
Kernel equality and rank–nullity therefore give a one-dimensional physical conserved centered stress
space, as in the free calculation. The actual centered Ward-normalized stress R is nonzero. The
free derivative map is nonzero because it attains a nonzero target coordinate; otherwise separating
observers would make that target zero.
Choose an observer with derivative value y ̸= 0.
Its
free translation-flux test has value y; the physical test of R, scaling positions, window and fields
together with the prescribed single derivative factor ri, tends to y. Vanishing R would contradict
this. Consequently eTi = viR with real vi. The shell test of both R and eTi tends to the same nonzero
y, for the latter by TR43 and tested derivative comparison. Linearity and division give vi →1,
hence eventual nonzero vi.
Multiplying TR43–TR44 by v−1
i
transfers both limits to R.
TR40
removes its unit shift and gives the selected trace limit used in TR2. The lifted correction source
retains the three candidates, exact kernel detector, inverse matrix and Ward shell test. TR41 is
its finite correction reader, and TR42 recovers its scalar coordinate with the numerical sign intact.
Rank–nullity and the nonzero charge reader identify the same physical stress line; normalization
by vi then recovers the actual Ward-normalized tensor rather than an arbitrarily scaled conserved
representative.
Exact detector correction and Ward-line recovery.
Let Jst, Qst and Jdet, Qdet be the hori-
zontal maps on the finite stress and detector spaces. Transport KZ
i = JdetKiQst, SZ
i = JstSi, and
XZ
i = JdetXi. Then the exact inverse on the horizontal detector image gives
cZ
i = −(KZ
i SZ
i )−1XZ
i = −(KiSi)−1Xi = ci,

i = Jst eTi.
In the first expression the output coefficient space is unchanged. For Ai = A + Ei = KiSi and
∥A−1Ei∥< 1/2, ∥A−1
i ∥≤2∥A−1∥. Thus the same detector bill bounds both correction coordinates
by C′Ri. Moreover KZ
i eT Z
i
= Jdet(Xi + Aici) = 0. Transport of the exact kernel equality makes
this genuine divergence zero, not merely zero at a selected detector.
Use lZ
i = liQdet. With εi = li(KiΩi) and δi = li(Ki∆i) + 4, the exact scalar identity yields
|4ci,1 + g| ≤|li(Xi) + g| + C′Ri(|εi| + |δi|) −→0.

Indeed Ri ≤ti and TR42 pays each error product, including when ti = 0. This recovers the actual
finite scalar limit forceR = −g/4 = −b0/2 with the original sign and factor four.
The transported scaling readers satisfy YZ
i Jst = Yi and PZ
i Jst = Pi, so TR43 is identical term
by term. Before the trace limit the exact decomposition is
Bi tr(Yi eTi) = Bi tr(PiLi) + ci,0 tr(PiΩi) + ci,1 tr(Pi∆i).
The first two terms have their retained stronger vanishing estimates; the third uses the actual
scalar coefficient limit and trace 4Oscale. This recovers TR44 without replacing the stronger trace
estimates by ordinary candidate convergence.
Stress-space dimensions, detector rank and kernel equality are preserved by the horizontal
isomorphisms.
The nonzero Ward shell reading also remains identical.
If Fi is that common
linear shell test, the exact ratio is
vi = Fi( eTi)
Fi(R) −→y
y = 1,
y ̸= 0.
The denominator is eventually nonzero; the same ratio is recovered from the lifted tensors. Thus the
physical stress line and its Ward normalization, including the subsequent v−1
i
transfer and TR40
unit removal, are retained. The primitive detector and stronger trace estimates remain explicit
dependencies developed next.
25.3
Scalar coordinates and quantitative detector transfer
The real invariant degree-four scalar basis 1, 4Oscale has an injective coordinate map and a continu-
ous finite-dimensional left inverse. Apply it to the same running trace limit to obtain simultaneously
U−1
i
(r4
i Θ) = ei1 + 4diOscale,
Bidi →d2,
Biei →0.
Exact scalar membership ensures these coefficients without unrelated subsequences. The free sur-
jection V : R3 →D has kernel R(1, −1/4, 1).
Columns Ω= (0, 0, 1) and ∆= (0, 1/4, 0) are
independent modulo that line: coordinate zero forces its coefficient to vanish.
They span the
quotient because
(w2 −w0)Ω+ (4w1 + w0)∆= w −w0(1, −1/4, 1).
(TR45)
This proves the free invertibility used in TR41. Let si map bare degree-five coordinates to the free
divergence target, converging in operator norm. Candidate detector pi = KiAi and bare coordinates
ui satisfy
HN
i (pi −siui) →0
for every fixed N ≥0.
(TR46)
The clock dominates ti. For the correction columns ui →u∗, with s∞u∗respectively V Ω, V ∆;
N = 0 gives their limits. Uniformly bounded scalar detectors obey
sup
∥u∥≤1
|ti(li(siu) −L(u))| →0.
(TR47)
The bare correction comparisons also give ti(L(ui) −L(u∗)) →0. Split the full error as
ti(li(pi) −L(u∗)) = tili(pi −siui)
+ ti(li(siui) −L(ui))
+ ti(L(ui) −L(u∗)).

TR46 at N = 1 and ti ≤Hi kill the first, TR47 and bounded ui the second, bare comparison the
third. Exact readings L(uΩ) = 0, L(u∆) = −4 give TR42. For the principal renormalized bare
divergence,
Xi −sivi →0,
∥vi∥≤CRi,
Ri ≤ti,
L(vi) →−g.
(TR48)
Even if vi grows, TR47 gives error at most εi∥vi∥/ti ≤Cεi →0. Bounded li handles Xi −sivi,
proving li(Xi) →−g. Bounded si and eventual Ri ≥1 also yield ∥Xi∥≤C′Ri, the same norm
bound used by the correction solver. The elementary absorption principle used throughout this
step is: if gi ≥0, |ai| ≤Cgi, and gixi →0 in a normed space, then aixi →0. The lifted detector
source retains the bare coordinates, moving map, clock rates and scalar functionals. TR46–TR48
commute the divergence reader with the scaling identification with paid growth, while TR45 recovers
the exact two-column quotient inverse. The continuous scalar left inverse then recovers both trace
coordinates on the same refinement.
Scalar coordinates and paid detector-map recovery.
On the invariant scalar space let
C(e, d) = e1 + 4dOscale and choose its continuous left inverse LC.
Horizontal transport gives
CZ = JC and LZ
C = LCQ, so LZ
CCZ = 1. The inverse scaling reader satisfies (UZ
i )−1Ji = U−1
i
,
hence the same simultaneous pair (ei, di) is recovered at every finite i. Applying the fixed linear
map to the running trace limit recovers Biei →0 and Bidi →d2 on the same refinement.
In the free correction quotient, the coefficient reader is explicitly
[w] 7−→(w2 −w0, 4w1 + w0),
(x, y) 7−→[xΩ+ y∆].
It is well defined because adding any multiple of (1, −1/4, 1) changes neither coordinate. TR45
proves that these maps are inverse. Transporting the detector target therefore recovers the same
free two-column inverse, not just its rank.
Equip the horizontal finite spaces with the transported norms. The bare coordinates can be
retained unchanged, with sZ
i
= Jdetsi, pZ
i
= Jdetpi and lZ
i
= liQdet. Their composition obeys
lZ
i sZ
i = lisi, and all TR46 remainder norms agree. Write M = supi ∥li∥and εi = ∥ti(lisi−L)∥→0.
The three-term correction error then has the explicit bound
|ti(li(pi) −L(u∗))| ≤MHi∥pi −siui∥+ εi∥ui∥
+ |ti(L(ui) −L(u∗))| −→0.
This is an identical bound after horizontal readout. It retains the exact free scalar values zero and
−4 for the two correction columns. For the growing principal vector, ti > 0 and ∥vi∥≤CRi with
Ri ≤ti give
|li(Xi) −L(vi)| ≤M∥Xi −sivi∥+ εi∥vi∥/ti ≤M∥Xi −sivi∥+ Cεi −→0.
Thus the same controls recover both the scalar limit and the solver’s norm bill. Finally if Bi ≤2Hi
and HN
i ei →0 for every fixed N, then ∥Biei∥≤2Hi∥ei∥→0. Applying this to both preexisting
detector errors recovers the paid running-factor transfer used in TR42–TR44.
No unbounded
coordinate error is suppressed by merely taking an unweighted limit.
25.4
Near-kernel detector repair and paid coordinate estimates
The absorption rule is gi ≥0, |ai| ≤Cgi and gixi →0 ⇒aixi →0, by norms. Both preexisting
bare/physical detector and renormalized-divergence errors decay faster than every inverse power
of Hi. Since Bi ≤2Hi, absorption permits their multiplication by Bi in TR42–TR48. For a real

signed-symmetry invariant scalar u, the tensor Jab = δabu belongs to the classified free stress space.
Its coordinate trace is 4w01+4(w1+4w2)Oscale = 4u. Thus scalar membership follows. Expectation
kills Oscale and fixes the unit; its nonzero free two-point norm then proves the scalar coordinate map
injective. Inverse scaling preserves those real symmetries and membership. The physical detector
is exactly
(KiT)a = Bir5
i U−1
i,5 ((div T)a).
(TR49)
Positive prefactor and invertibility give equality of detector and divergence kernels. The map si is
the componentwise renormalized bare lift followed by U−1
i,5 ; symmetry places its image in the free
target. Componentwise comparison gives TR46.
For the finite repair let f : E →H be onto with ker f = Rx, x ̸= 0, and right inverse U. Suppose
si has exact right inverses ui →U, and wi →x, siwi →0. A linear A gives y = Ufy + A(y)x
by the kernel coordinate. Set Vi = uif + A ⊗wi →IE. Eventually its inverse exists and tends
to identity. Since siViy = fy + A(y)siwi →fy, multiplication by V −1
i
proves si →f in operator
norm; finite-basis reconstruction makes pointwise convergence sufficient. For a bare functional L
and precision ei, assume
eisiwi →0,
eiL(wi) →0.
(TR50)
Define li = Lui, uniformly bounded, and Qi = ei(lisi −L). Exact right-inverse cancellation gives
QiViy = A(y)[Lui(eisiwi) −eiL(wi)] →0.
Thus Qi →0 in norm, proving TR47 for ei = ti and the needed si convergence without assuming
prior uniformity near its kernel. Here x is the nonzero free equation-of-motion vector. Lifting tar-
get vectors at the same retained scale and undoing coordinates gives siui = I exactly and ui →U.
Issued equation coordinates give wi and the two paid TR50 estimates. The bare functional anni-
hilates x. The resulting precision is ti = Age1/5
i
. Correction coordinates differ prelimit from ideal
orbit coordinates by at most Age−1/4
i
; ideal scalar readings are exact. Bounded linearity therefore
bounds the scalar discrepancy by a constant times lossi.
Bounded linearity and multiplication
by ti give Age−1/20
i
→0, proving the third error in TR47. The same joint degree-four/five orbit
comparison and unweighted loss give qualitative limits on the original extraction filter.
True-divergence and near-kernel repair recovery.
The scalar membership argument is trans-
ported by the same real signed-symmetry maps: the diagonal tensor of u and its classified trace
recover u = w01+(w1 +4w2)Oscale. Expectation and the nonzero free scalar two-point norm retain
the injectivity used by the scalar coordinate reader. For the detector let J4, J5 denote the horizontal
tensor maps. Its exact formula gives
KZ
i J4T = Bir5
i U−1
i,5 Q5J5 div T = KiT.
Here the detector output is in the unchanged free coordinates. Since Bir5
i > 0 and Ui,5 is invertible,
zero detector value recovers zero true divergence in both realizations. Equivariance keeps the real
target restriction and componentwise TR46 comparison.
To expose the repair maps, the source retains f, U, A, si, ui, wi with siui = I, and the actual
decomposition y = Ufy+A(y)x. Their finite-dimensional horizontal transports satisfy the identical
composition laws. In the original coordinates put Vi = uif + A ⊗wi and bi = siwi. Then exactly
siVi = f + A ⊗bi,
si = (f + A ⊗bi)V −1

This recovers operator convergence from the actual right inverses and near-kernel vector, including

For the precision scale ei put Qi = ei(Luisi −L). Right-inverse cancellation gives the exact

orbit map and scalar functional.
The finite scalar calculation below supplies the other terms
and −g. Continuous linear maps and closed norm inequalities pass through extraction; every error
tends to zero. TS1–TS5 below supply the weighted near-kernel hypotheses. The lifted repair source
retains exact right inverses, near-kernel vectors, precision scales and closed prelimit inequalities. Its
coordinate reader Vi reconstructs the missing kernel direction; the scalar reader Lui then recovers
the required weighted accuracy. Keeping the issued and projected coordinates together pays both
qualitative and weighted limits on the same extraction filter.

Local estimates for the coefficient calculation and the six contributions
Here are the local estimates underlying the coefficient calculation. Write x for the large coupling
parameter and put
Ωa(x) = exp{a(log log x)2},
θ = x−1/2Ω1(x),
cx = θ2Ω−2(x),
tx = θ2Ω1/8(x),
σx = θ2x−1/100.
(LCE1)
All assertions in this paragraph concern sufficiently large x > 1. Products of the Ωa add their
subscripts; for every fixed a and ε > 0, Ωa(x) ≤xε eventually. This follows by dividing a(log log x)2
by log x, whose ratio tends to zero.
The regular local fields entering the exact split have the following derivative envelopes on the
common healthy chart: the nonlinear principal discrepancy and the finite Taylor surgery error
have envelope cx; the principal comparison field and its loop field have envelope tx; the finite-loop
tail has envelope cx. These are envelopes through the prescribed chart order, on the stated local

support, including measurability, gauge covariance and chart regularity. The large-x threshold is
common to the stated local estimates. At each fixed admitted x, exhaust the finite loop and tail
shelves after specifying the required positive error allowance. Absolute convergence makes their
errors arbitrarily small. These shelves may depend on x; a single finite truncation uniform for all
large couplings is not needed.
For clarity, the nonlinear estimate has a quantitative Taylor proof. Let s = θ(1 + high(x))P ,
where P is the fixed stage power. In exponential link coordinates the discrepancy K between the
nonlinear curvature expression and its linear comparison has derivatives through order four at zero
bounded by x−30. Its derivatives through the required higher order on ∥y∥≤Ds are bounded by
2Ω1/200(x); D ≥1 is a fixed chart radius. The change from color coordinates to link directions
has norm at most one, so these low-jet bounds persist under that change. Taylor’s formula with
integral remainder, after rescaling y = sp, gives, uniformly for ∥p∥≤D,
∥minors(βK)∥Ck ≤4x 2Ω1/200(x) C5,Ds5 ≤σx,
k ≥5,
|β| ≤4x.
(LCE2)
The low-order terms fit this same estimate because x−30 ≤2Ω1/200(x)s5−j for 0 ≤j ≤4. The final
inequality follows from s5 = x−5/2 times a fixed subpower factor, whereas σx = x−1−1/100Ω2(x).
Thus the fifth-order Taylor remainder has a strictly decaying power to spare. The finite-difference
surgery uses h = θx−1/24.
Since h/s ≤x−1/24, choosing its order m ≥48 makes every fixed
subpower multiple of s(h/s)m+1 at most σxh eventually.
This controls the surgery error after
division by its difference step. The support margins and nonwrapping conditions used here are
the finite chart conditions already imposed when choosing the station; none is a new continuum
hypothesis.
We spell out how these local bounds survive projection and summation. Fix the degree-five
frame and its local section, and denote their fixed reading prices by r ≥1 and v ≥1. If the section
has growth exponent p ≥0, put K0 = (1+p)r +v. A field with derivative envelope cx has weighted
coefficient size at most rcx. This is the coefficient projection estimate: each coordinate is a bounded
derivative reading, its fixed reading weight is included in r, and summing the coordinate absolute
values bounds the coefficient norm.
For the secondary surgery terms indexed by a finite set I, let Qi be their supports and gi their
derivative envelopes before multiplying by the difference coefficient.
The actual summable tail
bound is
X
i∈I
es0 cover(Qi)

teasi
h
 gi ≤σx.
(LCE3)
Here s0 is the fixed support weight of the local budget, distinct from the chart radius s. Multiplying
each summand by its projection price at most r+v and using the triangle inequality gives coefficient
size at most (r + v)σx for their sum. The same summation constructs its local representative and
bounds its approximation remainder; this is why a bound for each individual term is not used in
place of the required bound for their sum.
The principal local support has bounded weighted cover, so its support weight is at most a fixed
A = exp(P0 TileNo). Its derivative envelope is 2cx + 2tx ≤4tx. Combining it with (LCE3) bounds
both the total projected coefficient and its local representative error by
K0(4Atx + σx) ≤(4A + 1)K0θ2Ω1/8(x) ≤θ2Ω1/6(x).
(LCE4)
The last inequality follows from Ω1/8/Ω1/6 →0. Similarly,
K0σx ≤cx,
rcx ≤θ2Ω−1(x).

Indeed their respective ratios are K0x−1/100Ω2(x) and rΩ−1(x), both tending to zero. These in-
equalities prove the total envelope and all four small coefficient envelopes used next. They also
show explicitly why the local errors still vanish after division by θ2.
We identify those six contributions in terms of the finite functions, to avoid ambiguity between
this split and the six antisymmetric tensor differences in (TF0d). At the current scale let Yb be the
localized current, eJ the restored tensor, PA the finite principal action, and LQ the finite ordinary
loop sum. Write QQ for its augmented quiet sum, with the zero and first path moments removed
as in (TF6a)–(TF6c). Define DY f by differentiating f along the left logarithmic link current, and
write divν Y for its Haar divergence. The six objects are
Wb = altoD{β(P
a Da eJab −DYbPA)},
Bb = divν Yb −(divν Yb)(1),
Kb = DYbQQ,
Db = DYb(QQ −LQ),
Eb = altoD{h−1Tm,h(Yb, −βPA −LQ)},
Fb =

γ∈F
weightedPγ Hγ.
(LCE6)
In this display W, E, F already denote coefficient vectors; B, K, D are scalar configuration functions
until altoD is applied. The sign identity is DY LQ = K −D, so the loop contribution is −K + D.
The operator altoD means the degree-five Taylor reader with its actual threshold weights, on the
common local support; the secondary readers retain their own supports Pγ. The current here is
the localized version of (TF0a), transported through the stationary descent, not an independently
chosen continuum vector.
The term Tm,h is a concrete finite-difference remainder. If ti > 0 are the distinct nodes and li
their Lagrange polynomials on m nodes, use
wi = li(0)/ti,
Dm,hf =
X
i<m
wi{f(tih) −f(0)}.
Their exact moment identities are P
i<m witj+1
i
= 1{j=0} for 0 ≤j < m, by interpolation of tj at
zero. Therefore Dm,hf −hf′(0) starts in order hm+1, with its integral Taylor remainder. Apply this
to the changed current pairing times the exponential action ratio on each active link, and average
the color directions over the Haar adjoint orbit of a unit color basis vector. Sum over the finitely
many active links. This is precisely Tm,h, including its current derivative and density derivative.
Its bounds after division by h are (LCE2).
The low-jet estimate for the first term in (LCE6) uses the quantitative stationary error as well
as the identity (TF0c). Here is that step in detail. Write F = boom Jb(0), R′ = DY Pmain, and E
for the stationary error. Equality of the analytic jets of F −E and R′ through order four gives
Dj(F −R′)(0) = DjE(0),
0 ≤j ≤4.
(TF12)
The issued stationary chart bounds the analytic coefficient norm of E by shock(x) = x−100 on radius
σ = east(x). Converting the coefficient bound to ordinary derivatives through order four costs the
previously defined analytic derivative price gG(σ/5, 4), called gable in the source. Localizing the
tensor to Meld J costs at most x−70gG(v/5, 4), where v = σ/100.
There are two further replacements: the original current Y by its localized current Yc, and the
full principal action by its finite retained action PA. Use the exact identity
DY Pmain −DYcPA = DY −YcPmain + DYc(Pmain −PA).
(TF13)
The current difference has weighted price p = x−70; the localized current has price at most q =
trophy(x) + p. The full action derivative has bound
U(x) = bankCost(B(x))K momentPriceP (D/2)[GeoSize +2 paths],
T(x) = bankCost(B(x))Kx−100 + e−D rim(x)/4U(x).

Here D > 0 is the issued path width; K, P depend on G and the fixed derivative order four, and
the geometric and path prices are fixed by the stage. Cofinal finite path cuts give the tail derivative
bound T. The weighted product rule for contracting a current with an action derivative bounds
(TF13) by
V (x) = vocationG(v, p, U) + vocationG(v, q, T).
(TF15)
The prices in (TF15) have the following explicit meanings. Set
cG(a) = # Loc(G, 1) e2a6! 24
a6
,
gG(a, k) = (1 + cG(a))k,
vocationG(a, C, D) = 16 cG(a/5)C gG(a/5, 3)D.
(TF20)
Here Loc(G, 1) is the fixed finite set of first-order link direction types (axis and color); its cardi-
nality has no volume dependence. The lattice shell count bounds the sum of e−a distance over these
directions by cG(a). Expanding a multilinear derivative in its coordinate directions and summing
these decays gives gG(a, k). For a current-action contraction, write DY F = P
lYl∂lF. The lo-
calized current has its first three derivatives bounded by Ce−(a/5) distance(l,0)gG(a/5, 3); the action
derivative has four derivatives bounded by D and vanishes at the identity. In its fourth product
derivative the term requiring a fourth derivative of the current is multiplied by that zero. The
remaining binomial coefficients sum to 24 = 16. Summing in lgives exactly (TF20). The vanishing
action derivative follows because its one-color linear coefficient is invariant, and simplicity excludes
an invariant color vector; it holds for both the full action and its invariant finite tail. This proves
the contraction bound in (TF15) using only three current derivatives and four action derivatives.
The scheduled radii and cuts give T = O(x−98), V = O(x−65), and
x−100gG(σ/5, 4) + x−70gG(v/5, 4) + V (x) = O(x−64) ≤x−30
(TF16)
eventually. These bounds are uniform in the admitted finite torus and hold for every sufficiently
large finite cut at that fixed stage. Equations (TF12)–(TF16) supply the second, third, and fourth
derivatives as well as the zeroth and first ones. They are the quantitative hypothesis used in the
rescaled Taylor remainder (LCE2). In that application the higher derivative bound and x−30 ≤
2 thinM(x)s5−j, 0 ≤j ≤4, give the order-five rescaled remainder, with s = θ(1 + high)stage power.
Summing the Taylor terms gives the stated θ2x−1/100 envelope.
The quiet derivative K has zero scalar contraction by the two path-moment cancellations
(TF6a)–(TF6c), whose full-family justification is given immediately below. The derivative of the
appended quiet correction is D. The term B keeps the Haar Jacobian, and its centered constant
is explicitly removed. The last term is obtained by expanding each finite surgery exponential into
support factors, with coefficient wi/h; its entire weighted sum is bounded in (LCE3). Thus the
four small terms are exactly W, altoD D, E, F, and the two non-small terms have their actual scalar
calculations.
For completeness, the retained quiet moments are small because the full issued loop family has
zero moments. For each ordered pair a of plaquette types and pair b of color indices, define
ca,b
γ
= 1{types of γ=a} coeffγ(b),
zγ = offsetγ,1 −offsetγ,0 .

These are curvature loop value and first-jet normalizations, distinct from the potential jet normal-
ization. They are carried in the issued path data as the summable loop terms and their zero sums;
joining path families preserves them by absolute summation. The path-data construction retains
these identities along with the quadratic metric normalization, so (TF18) applies to the family
actually used in (LCE6).

Since |zγ,l| ≤length γ and the coefficient is bounded by its atom budget, an omitted bound
P
γ /∈L budgeta(γ) (1 + length γ) ≤A bounds every retained moment in (TF19) by A. Thus the
coefficients appended at displacement zero and the four unit displacements in (TF6a) have total
coefficient magnitude at most 5 #{color pairs}#{type pairs}(A + 4A). Indeed there are five dis-
placement choices for each type pair, and each coefficient has magnitude at most A + 4A; the
unit-displacement coefficients individually have the sharper bound A. Their paths have length at
most ten, so a weighted atom budget at width a costs at most an additional e10a. Fixed-order local
function and derivative bounds follow by the finite plaquette product estimate used for (TF11).
The exponential path estimate gives A = q + e−σr/4 momentPrice1(σ/2)B after a sufficiently large
cut and radius r, for width σ > 0 and full loop price B. This proves the small appended-tail bound
used for D. The augmented finite family, meanwhile, has exactly zero constant and first moments
by its explicit coefficients. Its Hessian against a supported direction and a direction with affine curl
therefore vanishes by (TF6b), proving the scalar cancellation for K. Smallness of the correction
and exact cancellation of the augmented family are separate consequences of (TF18) and (TF6a),
respectively.
The issuance is constructive: for each of these regular scalar functions subtract the local section
of its weighted Taylor card and put the masked difference in one regular activity slot, as in (TF5).
Add the four principal formatted insertions and the finitely many secondary ones. Their coefficient is
exactly the sum of their Taylor cards by linearity, and their support-weighted prices add. Equations
(LCE3)–(LCE5) then prove both the bound on the issued coefficient and the paid remainder of its
representative. This proves existence of the candidate with its coefficient identity and its budgets
simultaneously.
Source–readout formulation.
The six-term split (LCE6) is an exact decomposition of one
configuration function into retained source columns, each with its own reader, support and bill.
Four are small after division by θ2 (W, altoD D, E, F); two are not small and are computed (B,
the Haar Jacobian with its centred constant removed, and K, which has zero scalar contraction
exactly). The lift keeps all six, and keeps the distinction between the exact statement ((TF6b) for
the augmented family) and the estimate ((TF19) for the appended part). The quiet moments used
for the appended part are those of Proposition 14.10, obtained from the full family and not from a
truncation of it.

Invariant scalar reading and the six-term local payment
For the bare divergence coordinates the scalar functional is
ρ(bareVector w) = −4(w0 + 4w1).
(TR52)
The coordinate map is an isomorphism for simple g. The equation vector (1, −1/4, 1) is annihilated;
more generally ideal membership gives 2(w0−w2) = 0, 2w1+w2/2 = 0, forcing the same. Composing

ρ with the degree-five isomorphism gives L, including the correction-column readings zero and −4.
For real regular local vector V , its degree-five card reader obeys
M

12 Re Holt(V ).
(TR53)
The actual positive threshold cancels through altoD V = θ2 DCard V exactly. The card contraction
equals the local polynomial contraction by reality and nonwrapping, without periodic aliases. This
is an exact coefficient identity, not an error estimate. The principal vector splits
V = W + altoD B −altoD K + altoD D + E + F.
(TR54)
The regular split y + D = K and additivity of cards prove exactness. The central K has zero Holt
contraction by local cancellation. The B contraction differs from midPay /12 by at most calorie /12.
The four other terms W, altoD D, E, F, after θ−2, each have coefficient norm at most Wave(−1).
Thus

(TR55)
The total coefficient-size envelope is θ2 Wave(1/6), hence ∥θ−2V ∥≤Wave(1/6), since coefficient
size dominates norm. Finally | midPay −landPay | ≤shock and landPay /12 = −g supply TR51’s
remaining errors and limit. This reduces the continuum scalar reading to the local cancellation,
four paid envelopes and payment comparison on the same threshold. The lifted scalar source retains
the invariant coordinate isomorphism and exact regular split. Its card reader commutes with the
threshold cancellation by TR53; TR54–TR55 recover the principal payment and its residual with
all six contributions retained.
Principal scalar functional and local payment recovery.
Retain the fixed orbit map O, bare
functional L and their composition M = LO. Transport of the finite coordinate spaces preserves
this composition and its operator norm in transported norms. The issued-to-core error and retained
norm therefore recover separately the first TR51 error and the principal norm bill. Closed norm
inequalities and continuous linear maps give the same bounds along the original extraction. The
remaining scalar payments stay attached to their finite-level calculation, rather than being replaced
by an assumed continuum value.
For invariant coordinates the retained row is explicitly ρ ◦bareVector = (−4, −16, 0). On an
equation ideal vector, w0 = w2 and w1 = −w2/4 give
−4(w0 + 4w1) = −4(w2 −w2) = 0.
In particular its values on Ω= (0, 0, 1) and ∆= (0, 1/4, 0) are exactly 0 and −4. The coordinate
isomorphism and horizontal readout preserve the full row, its kernel annihilation and these two
column values.
The local card source retains the actual positive θ, regular support and nonwrapping margins.
Before any estimate,
θ−2 altoD V = DCard V,
M(DCard V ) = 1
12 Re Holt(V ).
Horizontal transport of the cards leaves this literal coefficient identity unchanged. For TR54 write
the four residual contributions as R1 = W, R2 = altoD D, R3 = E, R4 = F. Additivity and the

The omitted central scalar is exactly zero by TR53 applied to K; its minus sign remains in the full
vector decomposition. Each of the four retained residual norms is bounded by Wave(−1). Thus
this equality recovers TR55 with precisely four operator-norm payments and the calorie /12 term.
Adding the actual comparison to landPay yields explicitly
|M(θ−2V ) + g| ≤4∥M∥Wave(−1) + calorie + shock

.
The same retained threshold cancels in the total norm envelope. Together with issued-to-core error
and the source’s finite payments, these identities recover all TR51 error terms and their limiting
−g value, keeping the subsequent massive calculation and TS near-kernel estimates as the specified
dependencies.

Massive payment comparison and exact quiet-loop cancellation
Keep mass strictly positive through the volume estimates.
The scalar resolvent primitive and
differentiated shell satisfy
d
dx Re Ri(ex) = −Re Si(ex),
| Re Ri(ex) + Lx| ≤C (x ≤0),
L = −12g.
(TR56)
Each fixed x has an eventual estimate with the same C; the massive matrix is strictly positive and
its finite-volume resolvent derivative converges. For fixed a < b ≤0, the mean value theorem and
the two endpoint estimates give μi ∈[ea, eb] with
| Re Si(μi) −L| ≤2C/(b −a).
(TR57)
The mass can depend on volume; no uniform mass convergence is assumed. The uncorrected local
payment obeys, for every moving mass in a fixed [δ, 1], δ > 0,
Xi −Si(μi) −μ2
i Ki(μi) →0,
|μ2
i Ki(μi)| ≤C1μi.
(TR58)
Given tolerance first choose b negative with C1eb < ε/4, then b −a large with 2C/(b −a) ≤ε/4, so
that the right side of (TR57) is at most ε/4. The resulting positive ea is fixed before the volume
limit, so TR58 applies and Re Xi →L. Finite local resolvent-jet bounds |Kd,i,b(μ)| ≤Cd,i,bμ−1 give
the remainder after summing finite indices and multiplying by μ2. The same bound makes the
local second-derivative correction vanish: choose small fixed μ first for its Cμ bound, then large
volume for the comparison error. Uniform analytic jets identify the local difference quotient with
the second derivative. Therefore

supported links. The quiet roster Hessian pairs to zero between a supported direction and the
prescribed distant polynomial directions through degree two. With loop length bound M, 2(t + 1 +
1+M)+6 < n prevents wrapping. The derivative of Ya remains supported there, so differentiating ra
twice gives two zero Hessian pairings. In the third difference entering Holt, constant-direction terms
vanish by gauge invariance and the local Ward identity; all others are these Hessian pairings. The
finite difference is zero, and the coefficient identity summing those differences gives Holt((YaP)a) =
0. Add the finite boundary compensation U to the original truncated sum S, giving quiet P = S+U.
Then YaS = YaP −YaU, precisely y = K −D in TR54. The compensation has the small calorie
envelope; the original derivative retains its larger local envelope. Gauge invariance and loop-length
bounds persist, accounting for the exact zero term and its separately paid boundary correction.
The lifted massive source retains positive mass, endpoint estimates, mean-value choice and local
jet errors. Its payment reader recovers TR59 in the required tolerance–mass–volume order. The
quiet-loop source retains the compensation roster and nonwrapping supports; its exact directional
reader recovers the zero central contraction while preserving the separate boundary residual.
Positive-mass choice and quiet-roster recovery.
Retain the finite-volume primitive, shell
quantity, local correction and their actual positive mass in the source record. Their scalar readouts
are identical after horizontal transport. Put hi(x) = Re Ri(ex) + Lx. At fixed a < b ≤0, the two
eventual bounds |hi(a)|, |hi(b)| ≤C give a mean-value point ci ∈(a, b) with
h′
i(ci) = L −Re Si(eci),
|h′
i(ci)| ≤
2C
b −a.
This recovers TR57 from only two endpoint bounds. The same points and masses are retained in
the lifted scalar reader. Writing the TR58 comparison error as ei = Xi −Si(μi)−μ2
i Ki(μi), one has
explicitly
| Re Xi −L| ≤|ei| + C1eb + 2C
b −a.
Choose b, then a, then the volume threshold; the fixed lower mass ea > 0 makes the moving-
mass comparison applicable. This retains the exact tolerance–mass–volume quantifiers rather than
assuming a mass-uniform primitive limit.
Every local jet correction retains its finite index list and μ−1 bound. Multiplication by μ2 gives
Cμ; first fixing a sufficiently small positive μ and then the volume recovers its vanishing. The
recorded analytic-jet estimate identifies the local difference quotient with the actual derivative in
that comparison. Hence the finite sum of corrections in TR59 vanishes, and its crest reader recovers
the same L = −12g payment.
For the quiet roster keep the actual finite loop functions, seats, reset coefficient and compen-
sation. Configuration realization gives PZ = P ◦π. A horizontal lift of the supported covariant
direction satisfies exactly
Y Z
a PZ = (YaP) ◦π.
The finite local jet readers intertwine by the same directional chain rule. The roster length, support
and separation inequality are retained, so the source’s zero supported/distant Hessian pairings and
local Ward cancellation are identical scalar readings. Their finite third-difference sum therefore
recovers Holt((YaP)a) = 0 exactly. Finally the retained equality P = S +U gives YaS = YaP −YaU
before estimating either term. Thus the central zero and the separate boundary compensation of
size calorie recover the same split y = K −D in TR54, with no loss of its sign or nonwrapping
condition. The determinant and massive estimates below remain the dependencies for TR56–TR59.

Its derivative is
−μ times the resolvent contraction; μ = ex supplies the other mass factor, proving TR56. The
period-limit comparison has eventual error at most one from the massive integral satisfying |α(μ)+
g log(1/μ)| ≤C0, uniformly in 0 < μ ≤1 and allowed regulator segment. Twelve ordered-axis
contributions give
| Re Ri(μ) + 12g log(1/μ)| ≤12(C0 + 1)

this uniform integral estimate. For each axis/color pair the quiet charges and relative offsets obey

Hence P
α cαF(δα) = 0 for every additive real offset function, by its four coordinate values. Each
two-leg loop Hessian is the sum of two cross-leg curvature products. Shift seat summation so the
first leg has common base. Its nonzero supported curvature lies in the one-link enlargement; the
other curvature is affine on the loop-enlarged neighborhood: curl T(x + δα) = C + F(x) + F(δα).
Charge summation gives zero by TR63 for both leg orders. Signed rotations preserve the argument,
with at most one-link support growth. Summing seats and rotations proves the exact Hessian zero
used in TR55, retaining the original nonwrapping margins. The derivative in (TR56) can also be
read directly from its determinant definition. The lifted determinant source retains positive mass,
matrix factors and normalized ordered contractions. Its derivative reader recovers TR56 with the
correct mass factors and twelvefold normalization. The roster reader retains offsets and both finite
moments, making its zero Hessian contraction an exact source identity rather than a small-error
replacement.
Massive determinant and finite-moment recovery.

comparison matrices with their actual positive mass. On their horizontal copies, use the transported

Joint
analyticity allows the retained finite local derivatives to commute with ∂μ. The site-normalized
reader and ordered axis sum are unchanged by horizontal transport. The chain rule ∂x = μ∂μ at
μ = ex therefore retains both mass factors and the sign in TR56.

The four-dimensional ordered off-diagonal axis list has twelve entries. Its fixed-mass comparison
error at most one and the source’s uniform massive coefficient estimate give exactly

With L = −12g and log(1/ex) = −x, this is the stated | Re Ri(ex)+Lx| bound. Its index threshold

The other leg order, finite signed rotations and seats obey the same identity. Horizontal configura-
tion readout retains their actual links, offsets and nonwrapping margins, so it also retains this zero
before any limit or estimate. Consequently TR63 recovers the quiet Hessian cancellation used in
TR55 and its full local third-difference reader, with the original compensation kept separate.

The local resolvent bound
We derive the local resolvent bound in (TR58). Use a periodic lattice of side n, angular momentum
spacing h = 2π/n, and normalized momentum weight n−4. Write kx = h lift(x) for its centered
momenta. If R ≥h, any subset of momenta with |kx| ≤R has at most
(3R/h)4
(LR1)
members. Indeed their centered integer coordinates have absolute value at most ⌊R/h⌋. The lift is
injective, and the integer coordinate box has at most (2⌊R/h⌋+ 1)4 ≤(3R/h)4 points. This upper
bound remains true when the coordinate box wraps on the torus.
For h ≤μ ≤1, group momenta according to
2jμ ≤|kx| + μ ≤2j+1μ,
j ≥0.
Assign boundary points to one of their adjacent groups. A group has at most (6 · 2jμ/h)4 points
by (LR1); its summand (|kx| + μ)−5 is at most (2jμ)−5. Therefore

(LR2)
Only finitely many groups are nonempty at a given n; extending their sum by zeros justifies the
infinite geometric majorant.
Here is the integrand estimate to which (LR2) applies. At z = |k| + μ > 0, scale an external
momentum direction p by z.
The zero-field matrix, one-field vertex and two-field vertex have
sizes z2, z, 1 with bounded scaled derivatives through the finite orders in use. These follow from

their vanishing origin jets and the analytic symbol bounds proved in the massive-symbol section.
Ellipticity gives the inverse size z−2. Differentiating A−1A = I gives
D(A−1) = −A−1(DA)A−1,
D2(A−1)[u, v] = A−1(DA[v])A−1(DA[u])A−1 + A−1(DA[u])A−1(DA[v])A−1 −A−1(D2A[u, v])A−1.
These formulas, and one further differentiation when needed, retain the same inverse size under
scaled derivatives.
Hence the contracted resolvent-insertion integrands have scaled analytic-jet
bounds of size z−2, with constants depending on the fixed directions and finite matrix dimensions
but not on k, μ, n.
For such an analytic integrand V , let [V ]j(p) = DjV (0)[p, . . . , p]/j! be its homogeneous Taylor
coefficient. The scaled bound gives
z3|[V ]3(p)| ≤Cz−2/3!,
hence
|[V ]3(p)| ≤C′z−5.
For the second coefficient it gives |[V ]2(p)| ≤C′z−4. The angular cube and μ ≤1 give a fixed upper
bound z ≤R∗, so this too is bounded by C′R∗z−5. Summing the finite matrix entries and applying
(LR2) bounds both contracted coefficients by a constant times μ−1.
The local readings are explicit finite coefficient selectors.
For a scalar function on integer
arguments set
Pan f = 1
2(f(1) −2f(0) + f(−1)),
Flop f = 1
12[8(f(1) −f(−1)) −(f(2) −f(−2))].
On powers of degree at most two, Pan selects the quadratic coefficient; on powers of degree at
most three, Flop selects the linear coefficient. The mixed selector is i Pana Flopb, evaluated on the
specified two-direction momentum contour, with the corresponding powers of h−1. Its fixed finite
coefficients bound it by a finite sum of the directional third coefficients just estimated. The local
second selector is Pan on the opposed-momentum contour, with h−2. Analytic Taylor remainder
bounds show that each selector differs from its indicated derivative coefficient by a term tending to
zero as h →0, with mass restricted to a fixed [δ, 1]. For δ > 0, the massive matrices have a common
positive lower bound, so their analytic inverse neighborhoods and the higher derivatives needed for
these remainders are bounded throughout this interval. This also allows a mass μn depending on
n. Absorb a final selector error at most 1 into μ−1
n , since μn ≤1.
The physical local lens is the prescribed half-weighted physical resolvent contraction minus
its gauge comparison contraction. Both have the preceding bounds; their matrix tickets identify
the actual finite matrices with the Fourier inverse matrices. Linearity and the triangle inequality
therefore prove, with constants fixed before the positive lower mass cutoffis requested,

δ ≤μn ≤1 ∀n
 =⇒|Kd,a,b,n(μn)| ≤Cd,a,bμ−1

eventually. (LR3)
The eventual threshold may depend on δ and the moving mass family. Once δ is fixed, h ≤δ ≤μn
eventually, as required in (LR2). Sum (LR3) over the finitely many tensor indices. Multiplication
by μ2
n yields C1μn, the remainder bound in (TR58).
For the local second-derivative correction, its exact massive comparison has error tending to
zero at each fixed 0 < μ ≤1, and its massive term is at most Cμ2μ−1 = Cμ by the second-selector
version of the same argument. Given ε > 0, choose 0 < μ ≤1 with Cμ < ε/2, and only then take
the volume large enough that the comparison and selector errors total less than ε/2. This proves
vanishing of that correction, including the actual second Taylor coefficient rather than merely its
finite difference. Consequently

Source–readout formulation.
In the lift the masses, the selectors Pan and Flop and the local
lens are numerical readers of the realized determinant films of Section 14. The mass is an auxiliary
spectator parameter with no target counterpart; it is removed by the two-step limit and is never
set to zero inside an integral. The quantifier order in (LR3), with the constant chosen before the
lower mass cutoffand the threshold after it, is part of the recovered statement: for the local second-
derivative correction the massive term is at most a constant times μ, and one chooses μ first and
the volume afterwards. The selectors are exact on polynomials of the stated degrees and differ from
the corresponding derivative coefficients by terms vanishing with the momentum spacing, uniformly
for masses in a fixed interval [δ, 1]; that discrepancy is retained until the volume limit is taken.

before region summation yield

(TR69)
This is TR56’s mass-independent constant, with the factor eleven and g = 2b0 normalization explicit.
The lifted momentum source retains the actual symbol, angular measure, same-mass comparison
and three regions. Its pole reader recovers TR68 by finite angular moments; its residual reader
retains all absolute integral errors in TR69, so logarithmic recovery preserves the uniform mass
bound and constants.
Angular pole and uniform remainder recovery.
Retain the actual massive symbol, exter-
nal derivative, angular cube and normalized measure c4d4k. Rotational invariance determines the

Boundary choices have zero Lebesgue measure. The first integral is bounded by Aπ2/2 and the last

Every scalar integrand, region and normalization is unchanged under readout, so the same mass-
independent TR69 constant is recovered. The vector/ghost and weighted matrix estimates below
remain the explicit dependencies establishing the pole and TR65 bounds used in this recovery.

TR70–TR72 bound the difference from PG by (uT +xT +A+B)/T 3 +(A+B +v +y)μ2/T 6. Since
T ≤R∗= 1 + 2π in the angular cube, take D = max(uR∗+ xR∗+ A + B, A + B + v + y) for TR65.
Since multiplication by 1/2 decreases the absolute value, (TR71) yields the first bound in (TR65)
upon taking T = r + μ. All constants are chosen over all admissible regulator symbols, masses
and internal momenta before restriction to μ ≤r. The weighted matrix estimates establishing
TR72 follow next. The lifted pole source retains the explicit tensor vertices, color trace and shifted
denominator.
Its second-coefficient reader recovers TR70 with both determinant weights.
The
massive reader TR71 is an exact assembly before absolute bounds; retaining the common symbol
family transports TR72 into the same-mass comparison used by the logarithmic integral, with no
regulator-dependent constant selection.
Weighted vector/ghost scalar recovery.
The horizontal symbol source retains the spatial and
adjoint-color bases, vertices and external momentum parameter. Matrix composition and traces
are unchanged in those transported bases. For r > 0, the actual denominator obeys

All four terms and their coefficients are identical horizontal scalar readouts. Hence the common

Since T = r ≤R∗, the recorded common constant max((u + x)R∗+ A + B, A + B + v + y) recovers
the second TR65 bound. The weights have only been enlarged for this estimate, not changed in
the scalar identity. The mass remains the same in the symbol, its propagators and comparison.
Uniform weighted matrix estimates below retain the necessary whole-family constants and supply
the remaining TR72 dependency.
25.12
Weighted matrix calculus for massive symbols
Use fixed finite matrices and a submultiplicative norm with | tr M| ≤n∥M∥∗. Size L at scale T > 0
means
T j∥A(j)(0)∥∗≤CL
(j = 0, 1, 2).
(TR73)
Products have size L1L2, constant at most 4C1C2, retaining the two middle Leibniz terms. Prod-
ucts of several differing factors are compared by replacing one factor at a time; (TR73) controls
every term. Sums add constants and bounded scalar multiplication changes size accordingly. If
∥A(0)−1∥∗≤B/L, then
(A−1)′ = −A−1A′A−1,
(A−1)′′ = 2A−1A′A−1A′A−1 −A−1A′′A−1
give inverse size L−1, with weighted constants B, CB2, 2C2B3 + CB2. Analyticity follows from
the determinant or local geometric inverse. The exact comparison
A−1 −B−1 = −A−1(A −B)B−1
(TR74)
turns discrepancy EL into E/L.
Telescoping compares finite products with all raw derivative
coefficients retained. Along q = te, ∥e∥≤1, zero-field matrix, one-field vertices (including incoming
shifts) and two-field vertex have sizes T 2, T, 1. Symbol products have two one-leg and four two-leg
Leibniz placements; inversion preserves the bounds with inverse size. The zero-field error from
|k|2I has jets below order three zero; the one-field error from its continuum linear vertex has jets
below order two zero. Common analytic-strip Cauchy bounds on the fixed ball, with chain-map
norms included, give Taylor sizes T 3, T 2 and weighted derivatives through two.
The two-field
vertex has unscaled bounded derivatives. Integrating highest derivatives along segments proves
∥Djf(k)∥≤C|k|u−j for the vanishing-order-u errors. For admissible |k| ≤T ≤|k| + μ, μ ≤T,
0 < μ ≤1, lattice magnitude s(k) ≥|k|/4 gives
s(k)2 + μ2 ≥T 2/64.
(TR75)
The ghost matrix is this scalar times identity; vector coercivity is at least min(ε, 1)(s(k)2+μ2)I, with
common ε > 0. Both inverses are uniformly O(T −2), including the joint small-mass/momentum
regime. The lower bubble G(k)V−(−te, k + te)G(k + te)V+(te, k) has size T −2TT −2T = T −2; its
second derivative and trace are O(T −4). For upper G(k)W(−te, te, k), massless G is t-independent
and W ′′ is unscaled bounded, giving O(T −2). The regulator vertex has size μ2T −2; after the inverse
and two derivatives it gives O(μ2T −6). These prove TR72’s upper bounds; full sizes and bounded
T give the rough T −4 bound. For bubbles at T = |k|, μ ≤T, set E = T + μ2/T 2. The zero-field
error is T 3 + μ2 = ET 2, so TR74 gives inverse error ET −2. Vertex error is T 2 + μ2/T ≤ET.
Telescoping four factors gives bubble error ET −2 and second trace error CET −4, proving the last
TR72 bounds and TR65.

Weighted matrix and propagator recovery.
For each finite symbol index space use horizontal
maps J, Q with QJ = I and transported norm. This completes the matrix power counting underly-
ing (TR65); the origin-jet identities and common strip bounds invoked here are the corresponding
symbol inputs. If AZ(t) = JA(t)Q, then on its horizontal image
(AZ)(j) = JA(j)Q,
(AB)Z = AZBZ,
(AZ)−1 = JA−1Q.
Thus all weighted derivative norms and traces in TR73 agree exactly. In particular the inverse
derivatives retain their two ordered A−1A′A−1A′A−1 terms and their minus A−1A′′A−1 term; no
factorial convention is changed. The inverse bound is recovered with common constant B + CB2 +
2C2B3 + CB2 at size L−1. These sizes follow from precise Taylor cancellations at the origin.
For two invertible families the horizontal realization of TR74 is again the exact difference of
inverses. For ordered factors the comparison reader is the finite identity
A1 · · · Am −B1 · · · Bm =
m
X
j=1
B1 · · · Bj−1(Aj −Bj)Aj+1 · · · Am.
Differentiating twice retains every product placement and binomial coefficient. Hence the relative-
error transfer and bubble comparison are recovered before their norm estimates.
The source’s scale assumptions and coercive inequalities are unchanged by the transported inner
product. Explicitly T ≤r + μ gives T 2 ≤2(r2 + μ2), while s(k)2 ≥r2/16; these imply the stated
weaker bound s(k)2+μ2 ≥T 2/64. With the same positive ellipticity constant, both massive inverse
readers therefore retain uniform size T −2. The positive mass controls the zero momentum branch.
The lower bubble has size T −2TT −2T = T −2 and its second derivative has trace size T −4. In
the upper reader the unshifted inverse remains independent of the external parameter: the massless
raw second vertex derivative costs no additional scale, giving T −2; the regulator piece instead has
size T −2(μ2T −2) and its second derivative gives μ2T −6. All these are the original ordered products
on the horizontal image.
On μ ≤r set E = T + μ2/T 2, T = r. The exact relative zero-field discrepancy is ET 2; the
inverse identity gives size ET −2 and the vertex discrepancy has size ET. Each term of the four-
factor telescope therefore has size ET −2, and its second derivative trace has size ET −4, namely
T −3+μ2T −6. This recovers TR72 on the same-mass family and retains the origin-jet/strip estimates
below as its symbol inputs.
For analytic functions, ray bounds f(tx) = O(tu) imply vanishing jets below u: a first nonzero
homogeneous polynomial would be nonzero on a real diagonal by polarization. Conversely bounded
order-u derivatives give uniform Taylor bounds. Ray constants may vary; final derivative constants
are common. For qa(k) = eika −1, the difference from ika is second order. Product expansion
therefore makes P
a qa(−k)qa(k) −|k|2 vanish to order three, proving the ghost cancellation. The
actual vector matrix is Avec = d∗
1M(k)d1 + d0d∗
0, with M(0) = I.
Subtracting M = I gives
two first-order exterior factors and a first-order metric error, hence third order. The free exterior
identity makes the M = I matrix the lattice scalar times identity. Thus vector cancellation has
the same order with longitudinal gauge fixing retained. This uses the actual quadratic symbol
normalization, including its longitudinal gauge-fixing term. The origin cancellations used in this
calculus can be stated independently of the family bounds. The lifted matrix source retains raw
derivatives, placement order, coercive inverse and analytic jets. TR73–TR74 transport its products
and inverse readers exactly before bounding; TR75 keeps the zero-mode branch controlled by the
actual positive mass. The resulting bubble and upper readers recover the quantitative powers in
TR72 on the same admissible symbol family.

One-field vertices and determining position Ward columns
The exact ghost vertex is
[−e−i(ka+pa)qa(k) + qa(−k −p)eika](Tb)xy.
Scale both momenta by t and divide by t: the limit is −i(2ka + pa)(Tb)xy. Analyticity makes its
error second order. The gauge-fixing contribution has linear part [−ikjδia −i(ki + pi)δja](Tb)xy.
Adding Wilson curvature gives exactly
[δij(−i(2ka + pa)) + 2i(pjδia −piδja)](Tb)xy.
The curvature sign follows by second differentiation of the group commutator and third-order chain
rule: its Hessian is the two first-derivative products minus their reversed products, and zero first-jet
group factors contribute zero. Prescribed soft order three makes a permitted perturbation’s one-
field vertex second order, so the same continuum linear vertex survives. Common analytic-strip
bounds supply the uniform derivatives for this entire symbol family.
Origin jets and one-field vertex recovery.
The symbol source retains its actual analytic
lattice matrices and coefficient maps. On horizontal index spaces the intertwining F Z = JFQ
gives DjF Z = J(DjF)Q, so every zero origin jet and every bounded derivative used in the Taylor
estimate is preserved.
For a matrix-valued analytic function the ray argument applies to each
fixed coordinate, and finite coordinate reconstruction preserves the common norm bound. Thus
ray-dependent constants are not silently promoted to uniform constants; the latter remain supplied
by the retained strip derivative estimates.
Write qa(k) = ika + Ra(k), Ra = O(|k|2) with the corresponding zero jets. The exact ghost
discrepancy decomposes as
qa(−k)qa(k) −k2
a = Ra(−k)qa(k) + (−ika)Ra(k).
Each term has third-order zero jet.
For the vector matrix the exact additional discrepancy is
d∗
1(M −I)d1, again a product of three first-order factors. The free exterior identity and longitudinal
term are retained in its horizontal matrix, recovering both zero-field cancellations used in the
weighted propagator comparison.
The actual one-field ghost expression has the recovered linear jet
−[1 + O(t)] [itka + O(t2)] + [−it(ka + pa) + O(t2)] [1 + O(t)] = −it(2ka + pa) + O(t2)
along each fixed ray, with its same adjoint matrix factor. The retained gauge-fixing and Wilson
curvature jets give the displayed continuum vector vertex, including its antisymmetric curvature
sign. For clarity the mixed Hessian of the commutator C(g, h) = ghg−1h−1 along g = etX, h = euY
is ∂t∂uC|0 = XY −Y X. This is the same ordered local derivative readout after horizontal transport;
the finite third-order chain rule therefore keeps the source’s sign and all zero-first-jet cancellations.
The permitted soft perturbation retains zero one-field jets below order two. Adding it leaves
both displayed linear vertices unchanged. The common strip bounds are also retained on the entire
admissible family, so these exact jet identities yield the same weighted Taylor errors and the same
continuum pole. This closes the symbol input dependency in TR73–TR75 without replacing a finite
lattice vertex by its limit before differentiation.

The physical result gives ds/u2
s →d2 for the same leading coupling normalization, including Wilson
charge; thus ds →0. At (e0, 0) with exterior O, let Es be the first-point divergence of the moment
with PsT 0, and Bs that with Ps(δO), the first time derivative of the scalar pair. Derivatives in
unscaled positions supply chain factor s. Let Rs, Qs be the translation shell-flux tests with stress
PsT 0 and Ps(δO), inserted and exterior PsO. Conservation and Ward give exactly
κsEs + dsBs = 0,
κsRs + dsQs = Bs.
(TR77)
The flux integral scales by s3 (volume s4, cutoffderivative s−1); the translated-field derivative adds
s. Both sides therefore have the same s4 factor, which cancels. Unit divergence and flux vanish
exactly. These are separated tests, with no contact identity used. Compact separated frame-jet
comparison yields
Bs →B0,
Rs →B0,
Qs →Q0(χ).

Free Ward gives the second limit; the free scalar moment cGt−8, cG = 3 dim g/π4, gives

Thus the conservation column is determined at its first even order; the other three columns need

and both chain factors. Its finite-column reader recovers TR77 before any limit. The nonzero scalar
derivative then recovers the stress amplitude and TR80 on the same position frame, preserving the
distinction between formal even coefficients and later real error estimates.

Position coupling, real remainders and equation markers
A real remainder requires more than a formal jet.
The position-space Ward tests determine
the normalized coupling on the positive frame branch. A formal parity calculation fixes certain jet
coefficients, but a real fourth-order remainder requires the uniform finite estimates and the branch
bounds supplied here. Weaker frames transfer only the stated leading conclusion. The selected-
vacuum diagnostic likewise uses its own convexity and secant argument on the same physical table.
The final equation sensor is an actual local insertion. Its weighted spectator bounds, replicated
marker, lens flags and expense calendar retain every required support and limit order. Exact density
surgery then realizes the marker at finite cutoff. These details are the reconstruction route back
from a small abstract equation reading to a funded finite observable; deleting them would leave the
last common-family assembly without a physical representative. The final section collects that one
tuple of witnesses and preserves the full mesh limit before the selected outer volume limit.
26.1
Formal Ward determination and a normalized position charge
The formal system has unknown κ and invariant jet (d0, d1) for powers 1, u2.
Its columns are
B = R = B0, E0 = 0, E1 = −d2B0 and Q = Q0(χ), and equations
κE0 + d0B = 0,
κR + d0Q = B,
κE1 + κ′E0 + d1B + d0B′ = 0
for every κ′, B′.
(TR81)

Since B0 ̸= 0, successive equations give d0 = 0, κ = 1, d1 = d2, and these values also satisfy all
equations. The signed trace parity jet is (0, 0, −2b0, 0) since 4d2 = −2b0. This formal jet does not
itself assert a real fourth-order remainder.
Position Ward-column and formal-jet recovery.
Keep the free degree-four coordinates and
lift the frame as P Z
s = J4Ps. Its inverse on the horizontal image gives exactly
(P Z
s )−1(s4J4Tab) = P −1
s
(s4Tab).
Thus the three real coefficients κs, ds, es in TR76 are the identical simultaneous coefficients. The
four separated position readers Es, Bs, Rs, Qs retain all labels, cutoffand geometry. Their scalar
readings and unscaled position derivatives are unchanged by transport. In particular the chain
factor s remains attached to differentiation in the scaled physical position.
For the shell map the exact volume/cutofffactors are s4s−1 = s3; together with the translated-
field factor s these give the same s4 canceled in TR77. The unit divergence and unit translation
flux are zero before limits. Hence both conservation and Ward identities recover literally, with no
use of contact values at coincident positions. The free derivative is
d
dt(cGt−8)

t=1 = −8cG = B0 ̸= 0.
The same compact separated jet convergence gives TR78. In particular Rs is eventually nonzero
and the exact Ward identity yields
κs = Bs −dsQs
Rs
−→1,
Es
u2s
= −ds/u2
s
κs
Bs −→−d2B0.
These divisions use precisely the retained nonzero limits. All coupling and phase choices remain
those of the physical coefficient comparison.
For the formal finite determining reader substitute the verified columns into TR81, retaining
the arbitrary nuisance entries κ′, B′. The equations become successively
d0B0 = 0,
κB0 + d0Q0 = B0,
−κd2B0 + d1B0 + d0B′ = 0.
Since B0 ̸= 0, their unique solution is (d0, κ, d1) = (0, 1, d2), and it works for every κ′, B′. The
horizontal reader has the same finite columns and solution. Multiplication of the scalar jet by
the trace factor four recovers (0, 0, −2b0, 0) in the stated parity convention. This preserves the
exact distinction between the formal jet and the real remainder estimate whose normalized frame
is constructed next.
For centering projection C and rotation-invariant scalar projection Π, use C2 = C, CΠC = ΠC,
(ΠC)2 = ΠC. The scalar obeys ΠCO = O, while CT 0 = T 0, ΠCT 0 = 0. For x, y > 0 set
Ax,y = xΠC + y(C −ΠC) + (I −C).
(TR82)
The summands are complementary projections, giving inverse A1/x,1/y. It fixes unit and expectation,
commutes with rotations and conjugation, and scales scalar and stress by x, y respectively, without
feeding centered components into the unit. For P ′
s = PsAxs,ys exact multilinearity gives
E′
s = ysxsEs,
B′
s = x2
sBs,
R′
s = ysx2
sRs,
Q′
s = x3
sQs.
(TR83)
The three R factors are one stress and two scalar labels.
With real nonzero b = B0, choose
eventually
xs =
q
b/ Re Bs,
ys = b/(x2
s Re Rs).
(TR84)

TR78 makes these positive and tending to one. Any total frame choice outside the eventual interval
suffices. They impose exactly
Re B′
s = b,
Re R′
s = b.
(TR85)
Conversely any positive TR82 adjustment satisfying these identities has x2
s →1 and hence xs →1,
followed by ys →1. It preserves all limiting frame, unit, symmetry and centering laws. Finite-
basis expansion of Axs,ysvj preserves every compact separated jet comparison: coefficients converge,
finite sums commute with derivatives, and bounded free derivatives on compact sets control the
coefficient errors alongside the original comparison errors. No further extraction is made. Define
the measured position charge by
c = (−d2)b ̸= 0,
λX(s) = Re E′
s/c,
gX(s) =
q
λX(s).
(TR86)
It uses the separated derivative test, not the physical stress coefficient as its definition. TR80 with
independently calibrated Wilson charge gW and xs, ys →1 gives Re E′
s/g2
W →c. Thus λX/g2
W →1,
so it is eventually positive, and
gX/gW →1,
log(1/s)gX(s)2 →(2b0)−1.
(TR87)
The lifted normalization source retains complementary projections, positive factors and the actual
measured columns. TR83 is its exact reader transport; TR84–TR85 recover the unique positive
scalar/stress normalization at each eventual scale. The formal reader TR81 and real measured
reader TR86 are retained separately, so a parity jet is not substituted for the subsequent real
remainder argument.
26.2
The real fourth-order remainder and weaker frame transfer
The positive root in TR86 fixes the branch and calibrates gX to Wilson charge before using Ward
equations. In the adjusted frame retain the exact TR76 coefficients; d/g2
X →d2 still holds. Taking
real parts of TR77, with TR85 and qs = Re Q′
s →q0, gives
κs −1 = −dsqs/b,
ds = d2gX(s)2κs.
(TR88)
The second is exact by TR86, not a formal truncation. Consequently
κs −1
g2
X
→−d2q0
b
,
ds −d2g2
X
g4
X
→−d2
2q0
b
.
(TR89)
The first uses d/g2
X →d2 and gives κ →1; substitution of TR88 proves the second. Bounded
convergent quotients therefore give
ds = d2g2
X + O(g4
X),
4ds = −2b0g2
X + O(g4
X).
(TR90)
Dividing this error by g3
X gives the signed cubic little-o statement. No full series is required.
Positive frame and real remainder recovery.
Set E0 = I −C, E1 = ΠC and E2 = C −ΠC.
The retained projection identities give EiEj = δijEi and E0 + E1 + E2 = I. Hence exactly
Ax,y = E0 + xE1 + yE2,
A−1
x,y = E0 + x−1E1 + y−1E2.
Horizontal conjugation transports each projection and this inverse, fixing the unit component.
The four multilinear column readers therefore retain precisely the powers of x, y in TR83. Since
493


## Source page 497

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

b = B0 ̸= 0 and Re Bs, Re Rs →b, the two ratios in TR84 are eventually positive. The positive
square root and subsequent real quotient recover the same xs, ys, tending to one, and impose both
TR85 equations exactly. Any positive solution satisfies these same equations and hence these same
formulas on the eventual interval.
The lifted adjusted frame is J4PsAxs,ys; its free-coordinate label is the same Axs,ysv for every
v. Finite basis expansion of each fixed tuple and its position derivatives therefore transports all
compact separated jet comparisons without another extraction. The measured scalar λX = Re E′
s/c
is also unchanged. Its ratio to the independently calibrated g2
W tends to one, so its eventual positive
square root is the same real gX and recovers TR87 on its prescribed branch.
The exact real Ward reader gives a useful direct residual formula. Put zs = gX(s)2 and as =
d2zsqs/b. Since qs →q0 and zs →0, 1 + as is eventually nonzero. TR88 implies
κs =
1
1 + as
,
ds =
d2zs
1 + as
,
ds −d2zs
z2s
= −
d2
2qs
b(1 + as).
This is an exact consequence of the measured coupling and Ward identities, before any remainder
estimate. Its limit recovers TR89 and the real O(g4
X) assertion TR90. For example, eventually
|as| ≤1/2 gives |ds −d2zs| ≤2|d2|2|qs|z2
s/|b|. The bounded qs then supplies the stated order-four
constant; dividing by g3
X gives a bound proportional to gX →0. All scalar entries and the exact
rational residual are identical under horizontal readout. Thus the real remainder is recovered from
finite identities, separately from the formal parity jet.
Taking trace and expectation of TR76, using centered scalar and traceless T 0, gives es =
s4⟨tr T⟩/4 and exactly
s4Θ = 4ds centerχ(P ′
sO).
This is the physical trace in the spectral arguments. The TR82 projection comes from the nor-
malized compact orthogonal averages on left and right, composed as in frame alignment. Haar
invariance makes its image invariant, its input rotation-independent and its restriction to invariant
vectors identity; hence it is idempotent. Conjugation and expectation commute with it, giving the
centering identities. It fixes O. Off-diagonal T 0 components change sign under one index reflection,
so average to zero. Diagonal averages are equal by rotations and sum to zero by tracelessness,
hence each vanishes. This supplies all TR82 properties. For a weaker real aligned unit-preserving
frame Ls, assume its centered scalar is in the prescribed positive branch and its fixed separated
two-point norm tends to the same nonzero free value. Classification gives center(LsO) = asPsO,
as > 0. The norm ratio is a2
s →1, so as →1. Trace identities and eventual nonzero scalar norm
give d(L)
s
as = d(P)
s
, hence d(L)
s
/g2
s →d2 for equally normalized coupling. Centering removes unit
mixing. This transfers the leading coefficient only, not the fourth-order bound to arbitrary frames.
Every fixed-scale compact spectral pairing is integrable by finite future damping; every dilated
Schwartz pairing is integrable by TR10–TR11. The limiting polynomial cone density has the same
properties, also for relative and joint transforms. The lifted real-remainder source retains the mea-
sured charge, exact Ward columns and positive frame branch. TR88 recovers the residual before
estimates, and TR89–TR90 quantify it. The weaker-frame reader retains its scalar norm ratio and
unit centering, recovering exactly the leading invariant coefficient without asserting a stronger error
than its supplied normalization supports.
26.3
The selected-vacuum scalar and derivative diagnostic
Although the frame uses the unselected hierarchy, its selected reading follows from exact centering.
Put vs = PsO, ms = ⟨vs⟩χ, ws = vs −ms1. Then
s4Θ = 4dsws,
log(1/s)4ds →−1.
(TR91)
494


## Source page 498

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction

TR2 at each fixed separated shape, with its fixed-distance logarithm, gives normalized trace limit
cG|x1 −x2|−8. Divide by the square of TR91’s nonzero limiting coefficient to get the free scalar
limit for ws. The uncentered unit remainder gives ms = O(s4/|ds|) →0, since s4 log(1/s) →0.
Unit insertion gives
⟨vs(sx1)vs(sx2)⟩χ = ⟨ws(sx1)ws(sx2)⟩χ + m2
s,
(TR92)
so the same pointwise limit holds for vs. One must not differentiate that pointwise limit directly.
Instead set Us(t) = Re⟨vs(ste0)vs(0)⟩χ. The exact identity is
Us(t) =
s8
(4ds)2 E(st) + Re(m2
s).
(TR93)
It is convex: the prefactor is nonnegative and TR3 integrates convex finite exponentials.
For
differentiable convex Us converging pointwise to V differentiable at one, fixed secants from a < 1
and to b > 1 bracket U′
s(1). First pass to limits in these slopes, then let a ↑1, b ↓1, giving
derivative convergence. Here V (t) = cGt−8, hence
U′
s(1) →−8cG = b.
(TR94)
Smooth selected separated moments identify this with the real first-position scalar derivative Bsel
s .
Physical conservation in TR76, tested against the selected scalar, gives exactly κsEsel
s + dsBsel
s
= 0;
unit derivatives vanish. Thus κs →1, ds/g2
W →d2 and TR94 imply
Re Esel
s /gW (s)2 →(−d2)b = c.
(TR95)
This is the same measured-field diagnostic, using pointwise asymptotics, convexity and conservation.
No stronger selected/unselected error rate is asserted. The lifted selected source retains the unit
remainder and positive spectral reader. TR93 transports positivity into convexity; the secant reader
recovers the derivative without exchanging a derivative with a pointwise limit. Exact conservation
then recovers TR95 on the same frame and vacuum.
Centered projection and selected diagnostic recovery.
Centering commutes with the hor-
izontal label map and selected character readout. Taking the actual tensor trace and subtracting
its selected expectation therefore gives exactly
s4ΘZ = 4dsJ4 centerχ(P ′
sO).
The scalar coefficient and unit removal are the same as in the physical label identity. The compact-
group projection transports under the finite-dimensional integral:
R Jρ(R)Q dR = J(
R ρ(R)dR)Q.
Thus Haar invariance, expectation preservation and conjugation give the same idempotent and
centering identities. The retained reflection sign kills off-diagonal Maxwell stress components, and
equal diagonal averages sum to zero by tracelessness. This recovers every projection property used
for the normalized frame.
For a weaker aligned frame, keep its actual positive-ray multiplier as. The two centered norm
readers have the identical ratio a2
s, so their common nonzero limit gives as →1. The exact centered
trace identities then recover d(L)
s
as = d(P)
s
. This transports only the asserted leading coefficient,
retaining the source’s distinction from the stronger normalized-frame remainder. The compact and
Schwartz spectral readers remain ordinary integrals at each fixed scale with the previously retained
damping and polynomial bounds.

For the selected diagnostic write ws = vs −ms1. Its lifted moments and expectation ms have
the same scalar readouts. The exact TR91 coefficient yields, for fixed separation t > 0,
⟨ws(ste0)ws(0)⟩χ = s8 log2(1/s)E(st)
[4ds log(1/s)]2
−→cGt−8.
The retained bound on the unit remainder gives |ms| ≤Cs4/|ds| →0, so TR92 recovers the same
uncentered limit. The positive Laplace reader and nonnegative prefactor in TR93 give convexity
for each fixed scale. For fixed a < 1 < b,
Us(1) −Us(a)
1 −a
≤U′
s(1) ≤Us(b) −Us(1)
b −1
.
Pass first to the scalar pointwise limits, then let a ↑1 and b ↓1. Both limiting secants approach
−8cG. All quantities in this inequality are identical after horizontal readout, so TR94 is recovered
without differentiating a pointwise limit. Smooth separated moments identify this derivative with
Re Bsel
s .
Finally the selected conservation reader has the exact scalar form κsEsel
s

s
= 0. With
real tensor coefficients its real part gives
Re Esel

This recovers TR95 on the same measured labels, selected vacuum and normalized frame, while
retaining precisely its stated rate scope.
26.4
The quantitative near-equation trace sensor
Write Ak(c) = AgeK(c, k), with calibrated bβk/2 ≤βk. For fixed c,
Ak(c)/βk →0,
(TS1)
because Ak(c) ≤bβ1/2
k
and its product with β−1
k
is at most 2 bβ−1/2
k
. In one transported degree-
five chart and the same coupling, let Pk be the principal logarithmic orbit projection and Ek the
uncorrected stress-divergence orbit projection. Set
vk = β−1
k Pk −Ek.
(TS2)
The principal bounds are ∥Pk∥≤CAk(1/6) and Lease(Pk) →−g.
The divergence cards give
Ek →−Stem5 and Ak(1/5) Lease(Ek) →0.
Their coordinates tend to the negative equation
vector; its scalar reading is exactly zero, and the transported error has the stated weighted bound.
Thus
vk →Stem5,
Ak(1/5) Lease(vk) →0.
(TS3)
For the second limit the principal term is (Ak(1/5)/βk) Lease(Pk) →0 by TS1; the other term is its
paid divergence error. Before transport this is β−1
k
times the orbit of Xk −βkZk, an exact served
equation insertion by the finite local divergence identity. Logarithmic insertion comparison gives
common coefficient/function limits; core projection commutes with orbit and coordinate change is
linear. Thus TS2 is exactly this normalized transformed limit. The retained equation estimate
gives
bβp
kisi(vki) →0
for every integer p ≥0.
(TS4)

Estimate the first component before the finite real orbit; symmetry supplies the others. The other
required estimate concerns the measured vector si(vki), where ki is the common retained scaling
sequence. Taking p = 1 and Aki(1/5) ≤bβki yields the other weighted leak. Together with TS3,
TR50’s repair gives bounded functionals μi, si →Vbase and Aki(1/5)∥μi ◦si −Lease ∥op →0. The
growing precision is paid before solving the stress correction.
Near-equation vector and weighted sensor recovery.
The source retains both degree-five
orbit projections in the same chart and with the same extracted coupling. For their horizontal
copies P Z
k = JPk, EZ
k = JEk, the exact vector reader is
vZ
k = β−1
k P Z
k −EZ
k = Jvk,
LeaseZ = Lease Q.
The calibration bound gives explicitly Ak(c)/βk ≤2 bβ−1/2
k
→0. Hence ∥β−1
k Pk∥≤CAk(1/6)/βk →
0, recovering the vector limit in TS3. The scalar payment is separately
Ak(1/5) Lease(vk) = Ak(1/5)
βk
Lease(Pk) −Ak(1/5) Lease(Ek) −→0.
The two pieces retain their different controls: a bounded principal scalar reading and the paid
divergence scalar error. Every term has the same readout under the horizontal maps.
At coefficient level the source retains the served difference Xk −βkZk, its core projection and
finite orbit map. Their commutation and linear coordinate change recover TS2 exactly after its
β−1
k
normalization, including the same actual lattice functions and common refinement. Thus the
tested equation estimate for this difference applies to the identical near-equation vector; no nearby
substitute vector is introduced. For each fixed p, horizontal transport gives
∥bβp
kisZ
i (vZ
ki)∥= ∥bβp
kisi(vki)∥.
The degree-four spectator estimate below supplies its vanishing. At p = 1 the explicit payment
∥Aki(1/5)si(vki)∥≤∥bβkisi(vki)∥−→0
recovers the second weighted leak.
Together with the scalar leak and nonzero equation-vector
limit this is precisely TR50, with ei = Aki(1/5) and L = Lease. The previously translated finite
repair therefore recovers the bounded functionals and Aki(1/5)∥μisi −Lease ∥op →0 using the
same transported norms.
This retains the order in which the growing precision is paid before
solving the stress correction. The local spectator and marker bounds remain the explicit remaining
dependencies for TS4.
To detect TS4, retain local coefficient families for Xk −βkZk in the same region, with window
Sliver = max(canvasR +8, townD +1). It contains both surgery and divergence film towers and
is subpower; site count and total uniform allowance are eventually at most clock to the fourth
power, fitting the common chamber. On the healthy region the exact film difference is the surgery
marker plus centered normalization. Surgery error divided by its small normalization is at most
e−prism. Outside, use the sum of uniform film bounds with the same fourth-power allowance. No
continuity of the hard healthy indicator is asserted. For each fixed degree-four free spectator, the
coefficient-limit bound is
S

xi; a5
i project(Xki −βkiZki), U(4)

 ≤Tau(ji, −100).
(TS5)
The lifted sensor source retains the two actual films, their common chart/coupling, exact equation
difference and paid local/global errors. TS2 is its coordinate reader and TS3–TS4 preserve both
weighted leaks needed by the finite repair. The spectator reader TS5 retains the same projected
coefficient limit; the ensuing detector argument recovers its full target vector.

Weighted spectator recovery and finite surgery markers
TS5 is the actual fixed-placement limit at the prescribed near point and origin, distinct and non-
wrapping eventually. Its spectator is the retained corrected lift on the same refinement. Under the
scaling frame, the first insertion for bβp
kisi(vki) is exactly
bβp
kib5
i a5
i project(Xki −βkiZki),
at physical scale aibi, by chart linearity, exact coupling cancellation and degree-five scaling. Thus
each tested response is bounded by bβp
ki tiltCap(ji)5 Tau(ji, −100) →0: clock and tilt have rate zero
and Tau has strictly negative rate. The real invariant-vector detector from these degree-four tests
and the same frame comparison recovers vector convergence, proving TS4 on the exact combination.
This is (TS4); the estimate is proved on the exact degree-five near-kernel combination rather than
inferred from its unweighted limit. At summit k = k(i), x = bβk, fixed surgery order m, write the
finite marker
Mm(U) =
X
α∈Am,x
wm,α
ρ(x) Lα(U).
(TS6)
Addresses lie in the prescribed box with finite orbit indices.
Census gives P |wm,α|

cardB(x) wheat(m), and subpower box growth with the surgery parameter makes this di-
vided by ρ(x) at most x2 eventually, hence at most Tau100000

on the calendar.
Each lens has
common radius-2 coast(x) support fitting the chamber, and fine pullback root norm at most
Tau−1900000
i
. Its beacon lies in the enlarged box within allowed distance, so every address has that
estimate. Seminorm linearity and finite pullback commutation give marker root bound Tau−1800000
i
.
Pointwise |Mm| ≤x2 also holds. Thresholds fix m first, then are uniform over finer cutoffand
volume.
Fixed-placement spectator and marker recovery.
Retain the actual common window
Sliver = max(canvasR +8, townD +1), the coefficient family and corrected spectator. Configura-
tion realization pulls both films and the healthy region to their inverse images. On that region
the surgery error, divided by its retained positive normalization, is exactly bounded by e−prism;
outside it the same fourth-power uniform allowance applies.
These are measurable regionwise
estimates, not a continuity assertion for the healthy-set indicator.
The fixed lattice placements, near point, origin and eventual nonwrapping volume tail remain
unchanged.
Their normalized Haar/Wilson readout therefore gives the same lattice two-point
moments and the same common coefficient/correlation refinement. Thus the horizontal TS5 reading
recovers the original bound for every fixed degree-four spectator. The first insertion’s coordinate
recovery is exactly
U(5)

  bβp
kisi(vki)
 = bβp

with the source’s transported coordinate convention.
The inverse coupling and renormaliza-
tion coupling cancel before estimating.
Consequently each spectator response is bounded by
bβp
ki tiltCap(ji)5 Tau(ji, −100), whose first factors have rate zero and whose last factor has strictly
negative rate.
The same finite invariant-vector detector and frame comparison recover norm
convergence in TS4.
This uses the actual weighted insertion, not only its previously known
unweighted limit.
For fixed surgery order m keep the full finite address/orbit list and every coefficient wm,α/ρ(x).
Pullback commutes with the marker sum exactly:
back(Mm) =
X
α∈Am,x
wm,α
ρ(x) back(Lα).

The exact exponent is 100000 −1900000 = −1800000. Horizontal realization retains every lens,
beacon, support and scalar coefficient, so this same finite readout also preserves the pointwise x2
bound. The surgery order is fixed before the eventual threshold; that threshold remains uniform
in finer cutoffand volume. The local lens estimate below remains the explicit dependency for the
individual marker terms.
For local films xe, ye and billed labels Xe, Ye, set q = (ai/ak)5, Ve = Xe −βYe, Je = q(xe −βye).

Each original error is at most Tau−430

, using 0 <
β ≤2 bβk. The signed finite divergence orbit Dd commutes with insertion, transport and pullback
on the common window; its seminorm estimate gives the same error for back(DdJ) −I(a5
i DdV ).
Real orbit projection places the label in the invariant subspace. Billed coefficients at most two
give Ve size at most 2 + 2β; fixed orbit cost c ≥1 gives c(2 + 2β).
Eventually 6c ≤t = bβk,
t ≥1, so this is at most 6ct ≤t2 ≤t4. Multiplication by a5
i gives the physical budget. The
crown bound, common support and TS7 then supply the corrected-divergence probe estimate with
its coupling and spacing factor retained. The lifted surgery source retains every address, weight,
lens and common chamber. Its finite marker reader TS6 preserves the paid sum; its billed reader
TS7 retains the actual coupling difference rather than two independent normalizations. Weighted
spectator readout and the invariant detector recover the target vector on the same refinement.
26.6
The local lens root estimate and its funded calendar
Copy the Haar-averaged surgery difference into the reporting-J chambers with signed motions and
conjugation. A copied base stays at dist(0, z) from its center. Choose the J-to-k block ratio above
both 2 pierSize +2+2 dist(0, z) and 64Bb+2B+2 dist(0, z). Inspected supports and changed bonds
are disjoint with the required marked separation. Motions preserve bounds and gauge conditions;
one component of product Haar integration is its ordinary Haar integral, so each chamber coefficient
is exactly its lens copy. Use two slots per chamber with equal positive weight w(k). For support
exponent s, cover l, function bound F and truncation m, choose c ≥1, r ≥0 satisfying
4ce(s−3)l ≤eb,
Fe(s−3)l+2w(k)2/c ≤r,
4e−mTlease ≤1,
Twing ≤1,
t = r + 8ebe−mTlease + 2ebbforced,
(2B + 1)4t ≤1,
et −1 ≤uallowed.
The finite local expansion and census give support exponent s −4, budget one, including the
factor w2/c. Tariffs sum separately at each disjoint surgery base without a chamber-count factor.
Transport to m0 with w(j) ≤δjw(j+1). Distinct anchors make doubled-marker occupancy at most
two, allowed by rj ≥2. Retained insertion and positive scalar normalization give, for v chambers
and Wilson lens-product moment Q,
|Q|w(m0)2v ≤e| Sitem0 | treasury(m0)+4v.

Restored integration uses the same positive Wilson partition on both sides, which cancels. Census
gives | Sitem0 |/v = (aJ/am0)4; thus
|Q|1/v ≤exp[(aJ/am0)4 treasury(m0) + 4]

At J = i and its prescribed basin m0, the subpower surgery and separation radii fit the calendar
block ratio uniformly in volume. Treasury and weights make TS8 at most Tau−1900000

in the same
reporting chamber.
Billed film and rooted lens recovery.
The source retains both films, their actual coupling
and spacings. Pullback and physical insertion are linear on the same chamber, so the transferred
error is the difference of the two individual errors, with coefficients 1, −β. Its rooted seminorm is
therefore at most (1+β) Tau−430
i
≤Tau−200
i
. The same signed finite orbit commutes with all three
maps, recovering TS7 for the divergence. Its coefficient payment is explicitly
c(2 + 2β) ≤c(2 + 4t) ≤6ct ≤t2 ≤t4,
t = bβk ≥1,
with 6c ≤t eventually. Multiplication by the unchanged a5
i recovers the precise physical degree-five
budget and coupling label.
For a single lens retain every chamber motion, conjugation, copied base and the stronger sep-
aration inequality. Product Haar readout of one chamber coordinate is exactly its original Haar
integral; thus the marked coefficient is the actual copied lens. Horizontal configuration realization
preserves all these integrals and disjoint supports. The two markers per chamber retain weight
w(j) and occupancy at most two at every scale, so the original multiplicity and weight inequalities
remain the admissibility conditions.
Write ZW > 0 for the common finite Wilson partition factor. The restored marked integral has
the exact fully marked coefficient ZW Qw(m0)2v, while the served insertion estimate has the same
factor ZW multiplying its bound. Cancelling it before any root gives
|Q|w(m0)2v ≤exp[| Sitem0 | treasury(m0) + 4v].
For v ≥1, take the vth root and use the actual tiling census | Sitem0 |/v = (aJ/am0)4 to recover TS8.
Both the numerator and denominator of this normalized coefficient are identical in the horizontal
Wilson readout. Thus the rooted estimate retains no extra chamber-count factor.
The expense sum remains the stated r + 8ebe−mTlease + 2ebbforced at each surgery base, with
the w(k)2/c coefficient payment included.
Disjoint supports allow the retained basewise tariff
combination; they do not replace this by a new tariffmultiplied by the chamber count. At the
summit calendar J = i, the same block ratio, basin treasury and weights recover the individual lens
bound Tau−1900000
i
uniformly on the volume tail. This supplies precisely the local lens dependency
of the finite marker sum TS6; its explicit large-coupling expense allocation follows next.
The
expense conditions in this argument are consequences of the same large-coupling choice; they are
not additional assumptions on the final theory. At fixed stage and cover l put B = ⌈(log x)2⌉,
P = B40 + 1100, M = B60 + 1100, ex = e−P/8. Eventually M ≥4P and for any fixed C, j,
Cxj ≤eP/32.
(TS9)
Taking logs proves this from log x ≤B and degree forty of P. Lease tariffis at most x3: its finite
product/sum formula contains coupling at most 4x and subpower threshold, path, motion and site
factors, hence rate at most two. Use m = M, b = P, c′ = eP/2, r = ex and 1 ≤w ≤eP/32. For fixed

c0 = e(s−3)l, eventually 4c0 ≤eP/32 and xc0e2 ≤eP/32. Therefore 4c′c0 ≤eP and xc0e2w2/c′ ≤
e3P/32−P/2 ≤ex. With u = e−MTlease, 8eP u ≤8x3eP−M ≤ex; the forced smoke(x) = e−Wave(1/5,x)
obeys 2eP smoke(x) ≤ex. Thus t ≤3ex, (2B + 1)4t ≤1, et −1 ≤1 and 4u ≤1 eventually. The
wing tariffis already imposed. All hold for every weight in the interval. At each fixed stage they
require one eventual lower bound; enlarge the original coupling-entry delay above it and all other
thresholds. Taking maxima and later delays preserves them before finer cutoffor volume is chosen.
The lifted lens source retains chamber copies, both markers, the common partition factor and exact
cell census. TS8 is its rooted reader independent of chamber count. TS9 pays every expense within
the original calendar; retaining that threshold order recovers the uniform local estimate used by
the finite marker sum TS6.
Expense-calendar recovery.
The scalar source retains the stage, fixed cover l, actual coupling
entry x, and numerical choices B, P, M, ex. Horizontal readout is identical on each of these entries.
For fixed C, j, the logarithm of Cxj is at most a fixed constant plus |j|B eventually; P = B40+1100
therefore recovers TS9. The same finite tariffformula and subpower factors retain the eventual x3
lease bound uniformly over its admissible representations at that stage.
For the chosen weight interval and c′ = eP/2, the coefficient payment is explicitly
xc0e2w2/c′ ≤e3P/32−P/2 = e−13P/32 ≤e−P/8 = ex.
The other fixed-support inequality follows from 4c0 ≤eP/32 and P/2 + P/32 ≤P. The retained
truncation M ≥4P and polynomial lease bound give
8eP e−MTlease ≤8x3eP−M ≤ex
eventually. The forced allowance retains its actual rapidly decaying function, giving 2eP smoke(x) ≤
ex. Thus all three contributions to the same expense satisfy t ≤3e−P/8 simultaneously for every
allowed weight. In particular its polynomial site factor times t tends to zero, and eventually t ≤log 2,
so et −1 ≤1. The same lease payment implies 4e−MTlease ≤1; the wing tariffremains the already
imposed local condition.
These are scalar inequalities of the retained calendar, so they recover exactly after source
realization.
For each fixed stage the finite list of eventual lower bounds on x is combined by
taking its maximum with the existing entry thresholds. Increasing the entry delay preserves every
bound. The choice remains before finer cutoffand volume, and introduces no additional condition
on the continuum law. This supplies the expense allocation dependency for the rooted lens and
marker readers with its original quantifier order.
26.7
The exact local lens and its flags
For an oriented bond from z, Tν(j) left-multiplies its link; a negative reading uses the corresponding
right inverse on the stored positive link. With scalar stocks define the finite truncation HM(U) =
v| Site | + P
covB(Q)≤M SQ(U). For bounded local J the exact lens is
L(U) =
Z
G
[J(Tν(j)U, j)eHM(Tν(j)U)−HM(U) −J(U, j)]dνG(j).
(TS10)
It requires fixed read support P, J(gU, gzj) = J(U, j), nonzero J only at health threshold θ/4,
measurable equivariant ν(aj) = aν(j)a−1, and chord at most D with 8D ≤θ.
Signed copies
preserve these assumptions. Put V = Tν(j)U. When J(V, j) ̸= 0, link changes are at most D and
plaquette changes at most 4D by telescoping unitary factors. Changed plaquettes touch z, have
501


## Source page 505

Yang–Mills: source–readout reconstruction
J. Rodgers
chord at most θ/4 at V and at most 3θ/4 at U; unchanged plaquettes have identical tests. Thus
flags agree exactly, also under signed motions and relaxed thresholds at least θ. Stocks omitting z
are unchanged, since internal links and flags agree. Therefore
HM(V ) −HM(U) =
X
z∈Q
covB(Q)≤M
[SQ(V ) −SQ(U)].
Define tQ = eSQ(V )−SQ(U) −1 on J(V, j) ̸= 0, zero otherwise. Finite distributivity gives
J(V, j)eHM(V )−HM(U) =
X
A⊆{Q:z∈Q, covB(Q)≤M}
J(V, j)
Y
Q∈A
tQ(U, j).
On the absent-insertion branch both sides vanish; no exponent bound there is needed. This is the
expansion paid by the surgery expenses. For covB(P) ≤l, 0, z ∈P, its inspected union lies within
pierSize = (l+M)(4B+2)+10B of z, and the lens reads the origin-centered radius-2 pierSize window.
Gauge covariance of J, ν, stock invariance and Haar change j 7→gzj prove gauge invariance. Finite
stock envelopes prove measurability, boundedness and integrability. The lifted lens source retains
the oriented stored-link operation, exact flags and finite stock roster. Its subset reader recovers
TS10 on both presence branches without differentiating a hard mask; support and Haar readers
recover the same local invariant lens used in TS8.
Exact lens, flags and finite-subset recovery.
The local source retains the oriented stored
bond, scalar stocks, finite truncation, insertion and measurable group displacement. For configu-
ration realization π and section σ, use JZ(z, j) = J(πz, j), HZ
M = HM ◦π, and on the horizontal
section define T Z
ν(j)σU = σ(Tν(j)U). Then the entire integrand, including the subtraction, satisfies
JZ(T Z
ν(j)σU, j)eHZ
M(T Z
ν(j)σU)−HZ
M(σU) −JZ(σU, j)
= J(Tν(j)U, j)eHM(Tν(j)U)−HM(U) −J(U, j).
The same normalized Haar reader therefore gives LZ(σU) = L(U). The negative-bond convention
is retained as right inverse multiplication on its actual stored positive link, so this identity also
covers reversed readings.
On the presence branch the four-factor plaquette telescope retains its 4D bound, and 8D ≤θ
gives θ/4 + 4D ≤3θ/4 < θ at the original configuration. Thus both ordinary and relaxed flag
comparisons recover exactly. Every stock omitting z has the same internal links and flags, so its
exponent difference is zero. The constant volume term cancels as well. Let Q be the retained finite
support list containing z. Its exact scalar reader is
J(V, j)
Y
Q∈Q
(1 + tQ(U, j)) =
X
A⊆Q
J(V, j)
Y
Q∈A
tQ(U, j).
The presence branch is the original exponential by addition of the stock differences. On the absence
branch its retained zero factors and J(V, j) = 0 make both sides zero. Horizontal readout preserves
this branchwise identity and its finite support list, without an estimate on an unused exponent
difference.
The common inspected union, cover bound and actual 0, z ∈P therefore retain the same radius-
2 pierSize window. The gauge action transports the changed configuration using ν(gzj) = gzν(j)g−1

insertion covariance and stock invariance identify the transformed integrand. The normalized Haar

change j 7→gzj recovers its unchanged integral.
The finite stock envelopes provide the same
measurable bounded integrand, so this is an ordinary integrable reader.
This recovers locality,
gauge invariance and the exact lens used by the copied-marker estimate, with all admissibility
conditions retained.
26.8
Finite density surgery and the equation insertion
For the equation marker used above, specialize (TS10) as follows. On a positive source link e let
v = Adg ec be a unit color direction, let ν(g) = exp(tihv), and take
J(U, g) = 1{healthy at the source with threshold θ/4}⟨Y (U)e, v⟩.
For a reversed link use the equivalent reversed multiplication in (TS10). The current is gauge
covariant at the source, so the covariance of J and ν is exactly the one required there. The step
h = θx−1/24, with its fixed node multiples, eventually satisfies the stronger chart condition 64D ≤θ;
thus it also satisfies the 8D ≤θ flag condition of (TS10).
Let Le,tih(U) be this lens with the finite stock exponent, and sum over the active links, color
basis indices and nodes:
M(U) = 1
h
X
e,c
X
i<m
wi Le,tih(U).
(TS11)
Haar integration is already part of each lens. The coefficient wi/h is its actual normalization. For
every node its lens integral is zero for the stock density, by the Haar change of variable; the matched
course transports this identity to the corresponding finite Wilson equation expression. Expanding
by (TS10), its empty subset supplies the main density variation and its nonempty subsets are
exactly the secondary terms F in (LCE6). Taylor expansion with the node moments above gives
the current divergence and action derivative, with the remainder E.
The exact healthy-region
identity is therefore
M = Z −β
X
a
Da eJab + (divν Yb)(1),
(TS12)
up to the explicitly retained finite-shelf approximation, uniformly at most e−prism(x) after division
by h. The shelves are exhausted only after choosing this error allowance, so division by h is paid
in their selection.
The normalization and support costs in the rooted estimate can be read directly from (TS11):

eventually at each fixed m. The active-link count and fixed node sum have rate zero, while h−1
has rate 1/2 + 1/24, strictly below two. Each lens is supported in the window of radius 2{(l +
q)(4B + 2) + 10B} obtained above. At the actual middle stop its copied root bound is at most
Ti(−1900000); the preceding total coefficient expense is at most Ti(100000). The rooted triangle
inequality and Ti(a)Ti(b) = Ti(a + b) give
∥M∥root ≤Ti(−1800000).
(TS13)
Here Ti(a) = exp{a(log bβi)48/10000}; all finite local radii and prices are absorbed before choosing
the sufficiently late stop. The rescaling from that stop to the reporting scale has degree-five factor at
most Ti(100000). The healthy error is exponentially smaller than any fixed negative Ti power, and
the global polynomial bound and exceptional-event estimate pay its complement. Signed averaging
removes the constant in (TS12) and preserves the root bound. This is the normalized equation
marker used in (TS1)–(TS5), including the costs of the full joint replicated array; it is not a formal
integration-by-parts symbol without a local representative.

Source–readout formulation.
The equation marker is a literal local representative and not a
formal integration-by-parts symbol. In the terms of the method it is the equation-residual column
of the realized record at the reporting scale: each lens integral vanishes for the stock density by
the Haar change of variable, the matched course transports this to the finite Wilson equation
expression, and the identity (TS12) holds on the healthy region with the finite-shelf approximation
retained. The normalization cost, the support window and the root bound (TS13) are properties
of the realized representative with the costs of the full joint replicated array. Signed averaging
removes the constant in (TS12) and preserves the root bound.
Completion.
The closing assembly of the supplied construction names the witnesses constructed
above. Blocking penalty 1 is chosen. The calibrated Wilson family and its common insertion to-
kens are constructed before any volume subsequence, by the exact one-step identities, the finite arcs
(FCA7) with their exact Wilson startup (Theorem 14.18) and density identities (Theorem 14.20),
and the banked-history convergence. The summed drift argument (RUN1)–(RUN5), on the realized
calendar (CAL1)–(CAL11) with the actual update (DR7), gives the positive logarithmic coupling
slope uniformly in cutoffand period, whose finest-cutoffspecialization is the bare-coupling clause.
For a requested increasing period sequence the refinements are composed; the fixed-volume Cauchy
argument and smearing give the full mesh limit at each suitable period and the refined period
sequence the outer limit (Section 18.9); the field quotient and detector give one finite-dimensional
filtration (Theorem 18.3); the compression algebra gives the phase space; heat, tube, boundary and
Gram constructions give the fields, with Euclidean covariance from Theorem 19.3; one equivariant
operator-product reader serves every character; and the Gaussian comparison, position normaliza-
tion, equation-marker bounds and near-kernel estimates determine the stress, its centred trace and
its amplitude, with the full limit of Theorem 24.1. Every witness lives on the one chosen Wilson
family and the one composite refinement.
27
Common-family assembly of the supplied conclusion
Fix the group and representation and penalty one. The linear kernel construction fixes positive
widths and stagewise block lower bounds; nonlinear geometry, Gaussian/activity and later detec-
tor, approximation and trace demands are chosen in the same order: block ratio, remaining fixed
parameters, coupling-entry delay. At each stage its prescribed finite degrees and derivatives impose
finitely many demands, whose maximum is finite. Enlarging later block lower bounds and delays
preserves earlier demands, and increasing horizons meets every fixed finite request eventually. Exact
one-step identities and banked-history convergence construct the calibrated Wilson family and com-
mon insertion tokens before selecting volume subsequences. The finest represented action is exactly
Wilson; positive partition and local insertions give probability laws, continuity, gauge invariance and
finite-stencil locality. The scalar running slope is positive logarithmic and uniform in period. The
summed drift argument (RUN1)–(RUN5), using the realized calendar (CAL1)–(CAL11) and the
actual update (DR7), gives the positive logarithmic coupling slope uniformly in cutoffand period;
its finest-cutoffspecialization is the bare-coupling statement of the theorem. For any requested
increasing period sequence retain coupling limits, extract the common hierarchy and coefficients
and compose refinement maps. Fixed-volume Cauchy convergence and smearing give the full inner
mesh limit; the refined periods give its outer limit. Auxiliary compact selections therefore leave the
full inner limit intact. The quotient and physical detector identify one finite-dimensional filtration
on this same table. Its compression algebra gives compact metric phases and full-support prob-
ability with smooth character hierarchies and barycenter. The same heat/tube/boundary/Gram

construction gives common-domain Hilbert fields, adjoints, locality, continuous spacetime action
and cone spectrum. Heat-ground and separation arguments give each character’s unique vacuum,
faithful labels and nonzero unit. Strict imaginary-time and boundary identities recover the corre-
sponding Euclidean moments. Fix one equivariant OPE reader. Separated, nested and integrated
expansions use its same coefficients for every phase and mean law; collision extensions retain its
basis and finite projections across simultaneous truncations and collision patterns. Gaussian com-
parison and position normalization fix the same physical stress. Equation markers and weighted
near-kernel estimates identify its centered trace and amplitude, giving in the selected phase

The same scalar diagnostic is retained under the established phase identifications.
The mass-
shell argument excludes the specified finite class; coherent countertests give the stated Maxwell
exclusions.
All witnesses remain on one Wilson family and one composite refinement.
Public
fields, operators, moments and channels are their identifications on that common table.
This
assembles the supplied theorem within its stated scope, with no positive mass gap asserted. In the
source lift the retained assembly tuple includes every finite stage choice, refinement map and reader
already constructed. Its public readout acts componentwise on this one tuple. Exact operation
compatibilities and the preserved order of limits recover the source’s common-witness conclusion.
Common-witness assembly recovery.
Retain the single stage-choice record, Wilson family,
insertion tokens, refinement maps, field quotient and all reader data as one source object WZ. Its
realization R is the corresponding physical tuple W. For every finite construction operation F
already lifted, the recovery identity is
RoutF Z(WZ) = F(RWZ).
Finite composition preserves this identity; the same composite refinement therefore carries every
required component, rather than choosing a separate subsequence for each conclusion. At stage n
the finite list of demands for its fixed finite degree/derivative horizons is combined by a maximum
in the specified choice order. The same numerical choices and later monotone enlargements are
retained under realization, so every fixed finite request has the same eventual stage in both tuples.
For any requested period sequence, write CN,L for a fixed correlation or coefficient reader and
CZ
N,L for its lift. At each finite mesh and suitable period they have the same readout. The retained
fixed-period Cauchy bounds and smearing maps give

These statements use the previously transported convergence domains and norms; the inner limit
remains the full mesh limit. The compact phase readout and its probability pushforward recover the
same character hierarchies and barycenter. The Hilbert unitaries preserve actual common domains,
adjoints, locality and momentum spectral measures, while their label maps preserve the filtration
and unit. The unique ground-vacuum conclusion retains precisely its source scope.
The fixed OPE reader, homogeneous basis and finite projections are entries of WZ, so their
separated, nested, integrated and collision readers recover the same public coefficients for simul-
taneous finite requests. The stress correction, spectral trace measure and selected character are
also entries of this one tuple. Thus the displayed all-distance trace amplitude and both specified
comparison exclusions are recovered with the same witnesses. This completes the assembly of the
supplied conclusion as a source–readout statement. The claim-status register, the correspondence
with the input and the limitations of the reconstruction are given in Appendices H–J.

Conclusion
The Wilson Yang–Mills construction admits an explicit source–readout realization across its full
chain of finite, effective and continuum objects. An admitted fan supports the compatible histories.
The finite frame reader has a complete fibre description, a reverse section and an exactly normal-
ized measure pushforward. Activities and their budgets are recovered in the transported norm.
A stationary section eliminates vertical variables while its retained residual controls the off-shell
discrepancy. Calibrated histories and their running belong to one recipe and calendar, and the
continuum hierarchy retains the full inner mesh limit before the outer volume refinement.
At the field interfaces, radial reconstruction, coefficient readers and the spectator-null quotient
make explicit which local representatives are identified. Inclusions, derivatives, Hilbert completion,
character evaluation and product readers act compatibly on those retained objects. The stress and
trace calculation uses the same physical table, phase and comparison labels through the universal-
radius and spectral arguments. Its result is the precise short-distance asymptotic and the stated
comparison exclusions of the supplied construction.
The mathematical purpose of Rodgers’s framework is realized in these interfaces: it supplies a
connected account of the operations that survive projection, the reverse coverage available, and the
information, residuals and choices that a reduction must retain. The result is a complete conditional
recovery of the specified Yang–Mills derivation. Together with the standalone companion in this
release, it provides both the construction and its reflective source–readout analysis in fully editable
mathematical form.

Tangent coverage, forms and horizontal operations
Let d0φ be the edge cochain (d0φ)e = φy −φx. At the identity readout, differentiating rx(t) =
exp(tφx) and Ae(t) = exp(tae) gives
p(φ, a) = a + d0φ,
j(u) = (0, u),
pj = I.
The kernel is exactly {(φ, −d0φ)}: this follows directly by solving p(φ, a) = 0. Oriented boundary
cancellation gives d1d0 = 0, hence d1p(φ, a) = d1a. This kernel is infinitesimal frame redundancy; it
is distinct from any subsequent physical gauge or harmonic restriction in the supplied construction.
Theorem A.1 (Operator and quadratic-form recovery). For a target operator T : H1 →H2 on
the specified finite cochain spaces, put TZ = j2Tp1. Then
p2TZ = Tp1,
TZj1 = j2T.
Compositions are preserved: SZTZ = j3STp1. A symmetric target form with matrix Q instead pulls
back as QZ = p∗Qp. Its nullspace is p−1(ker Q), and its restriction to the section is the original
form.
Proof. Insert piji = I in the two intertwining identities and the composition. For the form, its value
on v, w is ⟨pv, Qpw⟩by the definition of the adjoint. Thus its radical consists precisely of v for
which Qpv = 0, since p is onto. In particular every vertical vector is null. Taking v = ju, w = jv′
recovers the original form. The transported section inner product makes j an isometry. It does not
assert that j is an isometry for an unrelated ambient inner product or that jTp equals p∗Tp.
For example the source stationary identity
Qc = T ∗QfT + b(I −PT)∗(I −PT)
pulls back to
p∗
cQcpc = T ∗
Zp∗
fQfpfTZ + b(pc −PpfTZ)∗(pc −PpfTZ).
This follows by substitution and pfTZ = Tpc. Replacing the last readout difference by I −PZTZ
on the whole redundant space changes the form on vertical directions. Any positive lower bound
is retained only on the original restricted space or its isometric section, with the original norm and
restrictions.
For a differentiable finite-lattice curve let kx =  ̇rxr−1
x . Exact matrix differentiation gives
 ̇Ue = r−1
x (  ̇Ae −kxAe + Aeky)ry.
Every target tangent he ∈TUeG lifts, for any differentiable frame curve, by
 ̇Ae = rxher−1
y
+ kxAe −Aeky.
Indeed differentiate Ae = rxUer−1
y ; this also proves group-tangent membership. At fixed target
input the two frame terms are still required. The flat target configuration at arbitrary frames is
Ae = rxr−1
y .
Let P be any actual tagged source predictor from fine links to coarse links on its stated domain.
With coarse frames s, define

b : y →z.

Then πc(s, B) = P(πf(r, A)) identically. On a smooth branch, for coarse rates l =  ̇ss−1,
 ̇Bb = syDPU[h]bs−1
z
+ lyBb −Bblz.
Differentiating the coarse readout cancels the last two terms and recovers DPU[h]. The proof uses
the actual predictor, with its routes, minimizers, fallback tags and finite stencil. A multivalued
target branch is lifted as a tagged relation; no new selection is introduced. Norm estimates transfer
with the transported color-block norms on fixed-frame or horizontal derivatives. They do not bound
arbitrary unbounded frame rates.
B
Integral, residual and limit transport
For each tagged finite lattice λ, let πλ and σλ be the maps above. The tag includes every source
parameter used by the operation. An insertion Fλ has lifted representative F Z
λ = Fλ ◦πλ. Coeffi-
cients, support labels, multiplicities and histories remain attached to this representative; equality
of functions alone is not permission to discard those records.
Theorem B.1 (Exact transport of tested limits). Suppose the supplied construction forms a scalar
tested quantity
Iλ =
Z
Fλ dμλ
on its stated integrability domain. Then IZ
λ = Iλ at every tag. Every convergence assertion, Cauchy
estimate, uniform bound or iterated limit for these quantities therefore holds for their lifted repre-
sentatives with precisely the same index set, quantifier order and constants. The same statement
applies componentwise to finite-dimensional coefficient vectors and to distributional limits tested on
the original test class.
Proof. The measure recovery theorem gives equality at each tag, including for complex integrable
insertions.
Consequently every difference IZ
λ −IZ
κ equals its target difference and every tested
residual has the same value. For example, if for every ε > 0 there is an original threshold beyond
which |Iλ −I| < ε, the identical threshold proves the lifted assertion. Supremum bounds over any
specified parameter subset are identical. Applying this argument first to the original inner index
and then to the original outer index proves the iterated assertion without exchanging limits. A
distributional assertion is this same argument for each allowed test function; uniformity over a test
set transfers only when it was present in the original assertion. Finite coordinate sums commute
with these equalities. No new majorant, compactness assertion or test class is inferred.
A source operation with input space Q1, output space Q2 and map T has the canonical section
representative σ2Tπ1.
More generally, relations are lifted by retaining all target branches and
their original tags.
A target residual R is represented by Rπ, so its zero and nonzero values
are both preserved. For a composable finite chain, insertion of πiσi = I proves the whole-chain
readout identity. These identities provide recovery for operations already defined by the supplied
construction; they do not replace its definitions or derivations, which must also be preserved in the
complete correspondence.
In particular the original full mesh limit at a suitable fixed period is retained before its outer
refined-period limit. Auxiliary compact extractions retain their actual refinement maps and com-
mon insertion tokens. This theorem does not turn a subsequential statement into a full limit, nor
does it identify different phase choices. A common positive denominator is carried through nu-
merator and denominator together; a normalized equality is not obtained by cancelling unrelated

partition functions. Hard masks and health indicators remain measurable insertion data on their
original domains. No derivative of such an indicator is licensed by integral transport.
For parameter derivatives the equality is differentiated only on the source’s actual differentiabil-
ity domain, with its given domination or finite-dimensional smoothness hypotheses. Moving-frame
derivatives use the horizontal formula already proved. For infinite sums the original absolute ma-
jorant or other stated convergence mechanism is retained before passing the operation through the
sum. Thus the map preserves quantitative estimates while leaving every analytic warrant at its
original location in the dependency chain.
C
Reflection quotients and field recovery
Fix the common continuum hierarchy produced by the supplied construction, with its actual phase
and test labels. Let V be its algebraic future-word space and q its positive semidefinite reflection
form.
Take VZ to be the linear span of the corresponding realized words, with their complete
labels and common-witness records, and let p : VZ →V read those words. The identity-frame word
section j satisfies pj = I. Define
qZ(v, w) = q(pv, pw),
N = {u : q(u, u) = 0},
NZ = {v : qZ(v, v) = 0}.
These word maps are distinct from the finite cochain maps of the tangent chapter.
Theorem C.1 (Unitary recovery of the reflection space). The map [v] 7→[pv] is a well-defined
isometric bijection VZ/NZ →V/N. It extends uniquely to a unitary U : HZ →H. The empty word
is preserved. Bounded operators intertwined on these dense quotients extend by AZ = U −1AU ,
preserving norms and adjoints.
Proof. For any positive semidefinite form the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality follows by requiring q(u+
tw, u + tw) ≥0 for every complex t. Thus a zero-norm vector is orthogonal to every vector. The
defining equality gives NZ = p−1N and equality of quotient inner products, proving well-definedness
and injectivity. Every [u] has preimage [ju], proving onto recovery before completion. The isometry
therefore extends to the completions, with dense and closed range, hence onto. The empty word
maps to itself. Conjugation by this unitary proves the bounded-operator assertions, including the
adjoint identity by the inner-product definition.
Unbounded fields require the supplied common cyclic domain D and its actual null-preservation
proof. Once a target field Φ(f) is defined there, set
DZ = U −1D,
ΦZ(f)v = U −1Φ(f)U v
(v ∈DZ).
This specifies its domain as well as its values. Products on the invariant cyclic domain, conjugate-
label adjoint pairings and locality identities are recovered by inserting U U −1 between successive
fields. No bounded extension of a field to the entire Hilbert space is inferred. If the target field
is closable, taking convergent graph sequences proves that its lifted graph closure is the unitary
image of the original graph closure.
The same conjugation transports the constructed strongly continuous spacetime action and
heat semigroup: continuity follows from ∥U −1(V (a) −V (a0))u∥= ∥(V (a) −V (a0))u∥. If E is the
source’s momentum projection-valued measure, then EZ(B) = U −1E(B)U is countably additive
in the strong topology, has the same support restrictions and recovers its scalar spectral pairings.
In particular the ground projection and its rank are preserved. A rank-one vacuum projection does
not imply a positive lower bound on the nonzero energy spectrum.

Boundary and reflection spaces use their respective unitary recovery maps.
A constructed
attachment J is lifted as JZ = U −1
ref JUbdry. This preserves its isometry property and, when the
supplied density argument proves onto range, its surjectivity. Isometry alone supplies no surjectivity
argument. Tested boundary distributions remain those of the same hierarchy, with their original
gap bounds and derivative requirements, by Theorem B.1.
D
Compression algebras and phase recovery
Retain the supplied heat-fixed subspace, its bounded compressed word operators and the norm-
closed unital commutative algebra A they generate. These constructions are made only after their
source commutativity and boundedness arguments. The unitary U restricts to a unitary U0 on
the heat-fixed spaces, since it intertwines the heat semigroups. Define the realized algebra as the
norm closure of the corresponding conjugated generators.
Theorem D.1 (Character and phase-measure recovery). The map α(B) = U0BU −1
0
is an isomet-
ric unital star-isomorphism AZ →A. It induces a homeomorphism
h : Spec(A) −→Spec(AZ),
h(χ) = χ ◦α.
For the source phase measure ρ, the measure ρZ = h∗ρ has the same barycenter evaluations. Full
support of ρ implies full support of ρZ.
Proof. Unitary conjugation preserves sums, products, the unit, adjoints and norms. It maps the
specified generating set onto its target set, so continuity and inverse conjugation give onto recovery
of the norm closures. Composition with α maps characters to characters; composition with α−1 is
its inverse. The character topology is pointwise evaluation on algebra elements. For each B ∈AZ,
the function h(χ)(B) = χ(αB) is continuous, and the same argument applies to the inverse, proving
the homeomorphism. By the definition of pushforward,
Z
h(χ)(B) dρ(χ) =
Z
η(B) dρZ(η).
Thus the original vacuum-state barycenter identity transports exactly. If O is a nonempty open
set in the realized character space, h−1(O) is nonempty and open. Full support gives ρZ(O) =
ρ(h−1(O)) > 0.
This theorem transports full support after it has been established by the supplied cyclicity
and separating-vector argument; probability normalization and compactness alone do not prove
it.
The character-dependent hierarchy is read from the same compressed whole-word element
before character evaluation. Reading selected factors separately would replace χ(B) by a different
expression unless the required product identity has first been proved in this algebra.
Countable dense families, exceptional null sets and the original continuity upgrade remain
part of the realized phase construction. An almost-everywhere property transfers to an almost-
everywhere property by h; extending it to every character requires the supplied full-support and
continuity argument. In particular vacuum uniqueness and rank-one ground-space recovery are
retained in their original scope. No new phase is chosen by the frame section, and no change in
phase measure is hidden in a normalization. The selected trace field remains centered with respect
to the same selected vacuum.

E
Operator-product readers and collision extensions
Let F be the supplied filtered field space, with its fixed finite-dimensional complements, bases and
projections. Use an isomorphic realized field-label space FZ with readout q and section i = q−1.
This is the field-label isomorphism after the source’s physical detector quotient; it is not an inverse
on all unreduced frame histories. Set
FZ,≤m = q−1F≤m,
ΠZ
m = iΠmq.
Every channel label and cluster geometry is retained. For the actual source reader Km define, on
its stated separated-configuration domain,
KZ
m(ξ; v1, . . . , vn) = iKm(ξ; qv1, . . . , qvn).
The same fixed complements are used at every truncation degree, rather than refitted to each test.
Proposition E.1 (Reader and remainder recovery). All algebraic reader identities and tested ex-
pansion estimates of the supplied construction are recovered by q, with unchanged coefficients and
truncation degrees. The full expansion residual is preserved when it is retained as a separate com-
ponent. Compatibility between finite packets transfers with the same projections.
Proof. Applying q to the displayed reader cancels qi = I and recovers Km exactly.
Similarly
qΠZ
m = Πmq, and every finite identity obtained by composing these maps follows by inserting these
inverse identities at each slot. A tested residual is the difference of the original tested cluster and
its finite reader expansion. Each term has the same scalar reading, so the residual and its absolute
bound are identical. Infinite summations use the original convergence warrant, as in Theorem B.1.
No inversion of Πm is used: its discarded tail is retained in the residual. The argument applies
to each original nested cluster and spectator domain without altering its scale ratios or error
exponents.
The collision-extension device is also retained as data. To make its recovery explicit, suppose
one stage of the source subtraction is a continuous linear map W on its specified test space, and the
punctured kernel acts integrably on Wf. Write that stage, including its chosen contact functional,
as
T(f) = t(Wf) + C(f).
Here this expression is used only on the domain and with the combined-integrability bounds supplied
by that stage; separate nonsummable pieces are not assigned integrals. For corresponding realized
tests let L be the test-space isomorphism with its transported topology. Define
WZ = L−1WL,
tZ(g) = t(Lg),
CZ(g) = C(Lg).
Then TZ(g) = tZ(WZg) + CZ(g) = T(Lg). This is a direct substitution and proves continuity in
the transported topology. It preserves the contact choice, not just the punctured restriction.
For the full finite forest of nested subtractions use this identity at each node in the source’s
prescribed order. Induction on the number of nodes proves equality of the combined subtracted test
and every retained contact contribution. All normal-test spaces, cutofffunctions, density Jacobians,
overlap records and finite projections remain fixed. The source’s combined L1 majorant justifies its
integrations and gluing; those steps are not replaced by termwise integration of divergent summands.
If two extensions differ by a diagonal-supported distribution, their punctured restrictions agree, but
their full readouts agree only when that contact distribution agrees on every allowed test. Thus
punctured values alone are not a recovery map for the chosen extension.

F
Gaussian and ordered inverse operations
The supplied Gaussian constructions retain their actual finite coordinate spaces, precision matrices,
means and support windows. In particular a nonsymmetric auxiliary matrix is not identified with
its symmetric covariance. If the source uses
C = (P + P ∗)/2,
μ = −P ∗b,
then both C and P remain in the realized history. For any comparison vector v and E = AP −I
the exact identity is
μ −v = E∗v −P ∗(Av + b),
when A = A∗. Indeed E∗= P ∗A −I, so the right side is −v −P ∗b. Replacing μ by −Cb generally
changes this identity. A coordinate isomorphism transports the mean as a vector and covariance
as a form with the stated metric; the original Gaussian integral and all normalized insertions then
recover by change of variables, with its Jacobian retained. No probability law is assigned to a
nonsymmetric covariance.
For the source’s approximate inverse C of A, put S = AC −I. On its original convergence
domain, for example ∥S∥< 1 in the stated submultiplicative norm,
C−1 −A =
X
k≥1
(−S)kA.
To prove this, AC = I + S gives C−1 = (I + S)−1A. The finite geometric identity has residual
(−S)n+1(I + S)−1A, whose norm tends to zero. Subtracting the zeroth term gives the displayed
ordered series.
The terminal factor A cannot be removed or commuted through S without an
additional identity. Under an isomorphic coordinate readout each finite ordered product conjugates
exactly, and the norm-convergent series follows in the transported norm.
Local determinant diagnostics retain the original supported contribution together with every
complementary arm required by the complete determinant identity. A diagnostic contribution alone
is not the full log determinant. Likewise a quiet-coordinate condition is evaluated in the actual
source coordinates: under z = Oz′ it becomes the condition on Oz′, not the same componentwise
bound on z′. Orthogonal invariance of a Euclidean norm does not imply invariance of a coordinate-
wise box. All whole-color-block restrictions and source window conditions are therefore retained
before inverse or determinant transport.

Assumptions, dependency chain and source–readout contracts
Three registers collect what the reconstruction must preserve and how the conclusion depends on it.
Table 3 lists the assumptions and scope controls of the supplied construction, with the lines of the
supplied text at which each is stated; rows A19–A27 are those of the constructions of Sections 9,
14 and 16 and of the rotation and trace arguments. Table 4 is the chain of stages through which
the public conclusion of Section 4 is reached, each with its input contract, the operations that are
lifted, and the recovered output. Table 5 lists the source–readout contracts of the general transport
statements, with what each readout fails to invert and what is therefore retained. Together with
Table 2 they are the summary form of the hypotheses under which every recovery statement of this
paper holds; none of them adds a hypothesis to the supplied construction.

Yang–Mills construction; D, a recovery statement proved in this reconstruction; and E, an open
selection question. A row can combine classes when a supplied construction also receives a new
recovery proof. The hypotheses and exactness classes are part of the stated result.

Coverage and amendments.
The accompanying source-to-both-papers coverage register has an
entry for every heading unit of the expanded source, lines 1–15788, with its substantial arguments
and dependencies.
It connects the two standalone accounts without making either one supply
missing mathematics for the other. The preserved input, equation tags and source ranges provide
a reproducible correspondence to the complete derivation.
The following register records the formula amendments, typography clarifications and local
recovery corrections, including their algebra and their domains of use.
I.1
Editorial amendments and focused recovery checks
The expanded mathematical source is reproduced unchanged in the shared release. This register
distinguishes damaged-character repairs, typography clarifications, supported formula amendments
and local recovery corrections, with their calculations and domains of use.
A1: principal predictor parenthesization.
The extraction at line 1017 reads m(q0)−1Ta/ga−
H/U. The formula used in the construction is
G0,a = m(q0)−1(Ta/ga −H/U).
The multiplier convention matters here. Write m+ = m(q0), m−= m(−q0), and let the opposite-
momentum product replace the real-slice absolute square. To exhibit the scalar cancellation without
discarding the directional rail, set
a = | pullLinea(q0)|2fa
m+m−
,
F =
X
c
fc,
T = Ta,
g = ga = m+m−a + ST.

This is a local algebraic abbreviation on the regular principal collar, where m+m−̸= 0; it does not
rename the original coefficient fa. With U = m+m−F + SH, the corresponding covariance weight
and directional rebate have the reduced form E0 = m−F/U, r0 = m−a/g. Direct subtraction gives
E0 −r0 = m−S(FT −aH)
Ug

S
m+

g −H
U

= S(TU −Hg)
m+Ug
= m−S(FT −aH)
Ug
.
Thus E0 −r0 = SG0,a with the amended parenthesization. In the real, even principal-filter con-
vention this is the familiar calculation with m+ = m−= m and the directional rail absorbed in
a. The formula with the unparenthesized −H/U does not give that cancellation. The remaining
nonprincipal branch is unchanged. In particular the factor S cancels the longitudinal S−1 before
Fourier extraction; no value at zero is assigned to that isolated singular factor. The filled princi-
pal value, its analytic collar, alias estimates and subsequent dual-predictor construction use the
amended expression.
A2: finite Gaussian normalization.
The extraction at line 1317 has exponent −rh + dv; the
correct exponent in the finite integral identity is −(rh + dv). Here r is the color dimension, h the
active free-link count, f the total free tree-gauge link count, rh the active real dimension, and dv
the dormant real dimension. Thus f −h free links are frozen and the ambient fluctuation dimension
is rh + dv. Set K =
√
2π and mg = c(Kg)r, where c is the Haar chart scale. Cancellation of frozen
factors gives the exact substitution
K−(rh+dv)mf
ge−(f−h) log mg = K−(rh+dv)mh
g
= K−dvgrhch.
The extracted exponent instead gives Kdvgrhch, which differs by K2dv.
The dormant density
remains K−dve−∥y∥2/2 with integral one, including dv = 0. This amendment does not change the
separate covariance determinant. The finite active/dormant factorization, frozen-link cancellation
and later normalized Gaussian readers consistently use this convention.
SR1–SR4:
local recovery statements.
Equation (2) uses the ordered group product
exp(l)BU−1, neutral on the protected chart and retained offit; the reversed factors would
produce a commutator.
Equation (3) retains distinct base and varied covariances, including
both determinant and inverse derivatives, and specializes to a fixed covariance only when they
coincide. The startup allowances are simultaneous on x/2 ≤β ≤2x: the forced estimate needs
the lower endpoint and the regular estimate also needs the upper endpoint. Finally exact station
radius matching is an equality of geometric radii. Equation (5) retains the error between actual
interacting and Gaussian moments, which vanishes only in the specified limiting comparison on the
same table and phase. The finite startup identity, shooting argument, radius interval construction
and full trace-limit sandwich retain their original roles.
Interpreted typography and a completed implication.
Three malformed extracted expres-
sions are interpreted using their local counting or norm arguments: line 1575 becomes CK =
(na + nb)AJ; line 3218 becomes 4 pcap(4)(
pdirecttop + pathstop)t =: C1t; and line 3428 becomes
HC(QRprice)n, supported by the repeated geometric estimate at line 4020. These are disclosed
interpretations, not literal transcriptions. One further transpose-scope ambiguity in source line

815 is made explicit in both presentations. The extraction writes V = d2BT
1 F(d2B1), whereas its
preceding identities give
V = B1MB1 = B1dT
2 Fd2B1 = (d2B1)TF(d2B1),
because B1 is symmetric. The reviewed flagship already used this whole-product adjoint. This is a
type-consistent parenthesization of that local factorization, not a new positivity assumption. The
packet normalization at source line 3121 prints a damaged exponent β−1/2. It is read as β−1/2
in mg(β) = c(
√
2π β−1/2)r, consistently with the already defined Gaussian coupling g = β−1/2
and the finite normalization calculation above. The reviewed flagship already used this reading;
it is explicitly retained in the companion. Equation (4) completes the truncated projection proof:
∥u∥≤∥Q −P∥∥u∥forces u = 0 when ∥Q −P∥< 1; reversing the projections gives equality of their
finite kernel dimensions. Source-range headings use the expanded extraction’s 15788-line count.
The accompanying change ledger records the original and amended expressions, exact locations
in both papers, and affected uses checked.
The focused checks exercise noncommuting group
elements, genuinely different Gaussian covariances, both shooting-band endpoints, station geometry
and the two scalar substitutions.
They provide reproducible checks of the local interventions
documented here; the general arguments and their scope are stated in the corresponding proofs.
J
Verification, limitations and reproducibility
Mathematical and computational evidence.
The general source–readout results are proved
in the text.
The verification package also includes exact-arithmetic and finite-model checks of
the formulas used by the reconstruction. The retained arithmetic suite records 28 passing checks:
angular moments and the pole coefficient; the stress stencil moments; the free Hessian and third
derivative, detector tables and conserved combination; the differentiated covariance; the Laplacian
and regularized fundamental solution; the rotation idempotents; the exponent systems and activity
rates; the beacon fourth difference; calendar plateaus; and shooting coefficients. Its script and
receipt are verification/check_lift_numbers.py and the corresponding result record.
The retained structure suite records nine passing checks. It tests frame equivariance and fibre
transitivity on the symmetric group on three letters over a triangle, the automorphism/stabilizer
and holonomy-centralizer identifications, the fibre law, fan automorphisms and the single-axis
exterior-division identity.
Its script is verification/check_lift_structure.py.
The focused
amendment suite separately checks the ordered noncommutative residual, distinct base and varied
Gaussian covariances, the two-sided shooting band, geometric radius matching, principal predictor
cancellation and the Gaussian normalization. Records distinguish retained results from executions
made for this release. Finite computations support these specific calculations; the general proofs
are the displayed arguments.
Scope.
The reconstruction takes the expanded translation of OpenAI’s underlying Lean con-
struction as its mathematical input; it does not re-execute or independently certify that formal
development. The recovered conclusions retain the supplied hypotheses and comparison classes,
and do not assert a positive mass gap. The group, dimension, Wilson action and physical prepa-
ration remain realization inputs. Native admission establishes the supporting structure, while the
specific operators, estimates and choices give the Yang–Mills realization described in the body.
Several recovery statements have essential local qualifications. On gauge-invariant quantities
the frame reader is an identity encoding; its larger role is to organize compatible non-invariant
charts and the interfaces of Table 2.
The label-reader inverse is bounded at each fixed level,

rather than uniformly in the level (Theorem 16.3). Beacon constants belong to the fixed reference
tori. Scaling maps retain their selected radius sequences (Theorem 23.2), and calibrated-history
uniqueness is within the fixed recipe (Theorem 14.29). The proof of the full trace limit uses the
stronger universal subsequence property on the same table and phase. These qualifications are
retained in the respective mathematical statements.
Reproducibility.
The shared release contains both complete editable LATEX trees, the
unchanged expanded source, source coverage and amendment records, the focused checks and the
retained arithmetic and structure suites with their receipts. Build instructions identify the
toolchain and commands, and output hashes bind the resulting files. The PDFs are compiled with
resolved references and inspected in rendered form. The source–readout definitions and essential
proofs are included in this article; no private methodological file is required to read or reproduce
its mathematical presentation.
