18 Model, stock, and scope
The active configuration is , with a two-component spinor. The relative radius is the exact -wave reduction of the frozen two-body scalar model. The free centre coordinate and constant spherical harmonic factor from the active Hamiltonian. The clock and pointer are effective scalar coordinates; no three-dimensional lifting error for those two coordinates is asserted.
Write for the conserved qubit projectors. Retain the exact radial preparation baseline bounded-phase preparation, smooth activation, finite radial potentials, and all clock self terms. Denote that operator by . Its physical clock mass is , its carrier speed is , and its reduced radial mass is
The scalar preparation operator is defined in Section 17. Its fixed cutoffs and admitted laws are part of the theorem. The appendices derive the specialized coefficient and current estimates used below.
The enlarged autonomous Hamiltonian is
where
Here on , extended by and . Primes denote derivatives. Thus the pulse width is in the characteristic clock, and its last spatial point is . The physical pointer mass is ; its length unit is . Every displayed compensation term remains in (7).
At laboratory time , the state is precisely the original full small-Gaussian radial and smooth compact clock stock, with its Galilean carrier and arbitrary normalized qubit, tensored with
There is no wave truncation or later preparation reset. The original radial width is ; the clock is the positive mollification of its normalized packet of half-width . Its initial centre is . The analytical handoff is , with clock centre .
The narrowed nominal reference-law class of Section 17.1 is retained exactly. The pointer is included in the same normalized, input-independent joint auxiliary conditional rule . This is one rule for the whole auxiliary configuration, allowing the declared correlations; it is not a separate cap or independent Born assignment for each added coordinate. Its disintegration gives
The retained periodic reference marginal, its allowed neighbourhood, and its target-calibration allowance remain part of the hypotheses. The cap alone is not substituted for that complete reference-coupling contract.
