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 ∥

∥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 nonnegative 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)∗.
Source page 60.
Searchable transcription
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 statement 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)).
Source page 60.
Searchable transcription
averageq dq + colorMat(tapy(p; a)).

The focus derivative is projection onto the Lie algebra, so differentiation gives

dp = proj(averageq dq) + colorMat(tapy(p; a)).
Source page 61.
Searchable transcription
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)].
Source page 61.
Searchable transcription
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).

−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

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

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

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

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.

averagex,y ∥hx −hy∥2
F ≤8 colorScale2 m.

Indeed the squared triangle inequality bounds each squared pair chord by twice the squared discrepancy plus 4 chord(Wxyk); averaging with minimality gives the factor eight. Set

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

A positive straight segment’s chord is bounded by its whole internal line sum, by the product triangle 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 identities 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.

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 probability 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 synchronization 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

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)

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 forward hike to its second coarse root. Both hike transports are identity, so this walk reads U(x, i), has

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 distinguished patch point the frame is one, giving chord(H(centerRoot(y))py) ≤CL2 port. The adjacent- 0Qpei) ≤αL−2 port, where α = 2 max(1, predictorCut−1)(2C +D). root predictor bound is chord(p−1

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 injective 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
