Eleven-node receiver formation bounds

Archived preparation-specific study. The eleven-node receiver campaign is deferred. Its conditional proofs, negative results and unresolved transfer range remain reusable under their stated assumptions; this document assigns no current task.

The supplied donor/intermediary/receiver case study: preparation geometry, directional loss and auxiliary-function obstructions. No general absence of formation follows.

Part of Native pattern reduction and memory. Section numbers are stable across the collection; hypotheses and model changes remain local to each result.

20. Formation eligibility and a finite-time exclusion

The recovery and causal-response results above start with both identities already present. This section instead supplies a receiver with flat phase. It asks whether an existing intermediary can form the receiver twist under the same smooth, unforced sine law. A nonzero initial response, enough initial storage and eventual formation are separate assertions.

Keep the eleven-node support of Section 19: donor ring (0,1,2,3,4), receiver ring (5,6,7,8,9), intermediary h=10, and bridges 0--h and 5--h. The ports have degree three and every other node has degree two. Write

\[ \alpha=\frac{2\pi}{5},\qquad a=\frac w\pi,\qquad b=\frac{w}{\beta\pi},\qquad q_i=\sum_{j\sim i}(x_i-x_j),\qquad S_i=\sum_{j\sim i}\sin(\theta_j-\theta_i). \]

The complete rows remain

\[ \dot x_i=\frac{\nu_i}{d_i}(-e q_i+aS_i),\qquad \dot\theta_i=b\frac{\nu_i}{d_i}q_i, \quad e,w,\beta>0. \]

The initial preparation and held capacities are

\[ \begin{aligned} &\theta_j=j\alpha\pmod{2\pi}\quad(0\le j\le4),\qquad \theta_5=\cdots=\theta_9=\theta_h=0,\\ &x_h=A,\qquad x_i=0\quad(i\ne h),\\ &\nu_6=1+\delta,\qquad \nu_9=1-\delta,\qquad \nu_i=1\quad(i\notin\{6,9\}),\qquad |\delta|<1. \end{aligned} \]

Here A is signed and the capacity contrast is supplied independently. They are preparation parameters, not a new pressure term or a derived event-selection law. The desired endpoint is the same full critical geometry as in Section 19: both rings have winding +1 and equal increments alpha, the bridge phases agree, and form is uniform. Convergence is understood modulo the admitted common origins.

Exact odd response and its controls

At this preparation all sine sums vanish. The only nonzero form gradients are q_0=q_5=-A and q_h=2A. Consequently

\[ \dot x_0=\dot x_5=\frac{eA}{3},\qquad \dot x_h=-eA,\qquad \dot\theta_5=-\frac{bA}{3}. \]

For the initially flat receiver, let chi=theta_6-theta_9 on the continuous lift through zero. Its value and first derivative vanish. Since dot q_6=dot q_9=-eA/3,

\[ \ddot\theta_6(0)=-\frac{beA(1+\delta)}6,\qquad \ddot\theta_9(0)=-\frac{beA(1-\delta)}6, \]

and hence

\[ \boxed{\ddot\chi(0)=-\frac{be\delta A}{3},\qquad \chi(t)=-\frac{be\delta A}{6}t^2+O(t^3).} \]

Thus delta*A!=0 produces an exact local reflection-breaking response. This Taylor identity neither certifies a finite prediction horizon nor selects the final winding. In particular, the sign of its initial curvature is not a proof of the eventual identity.

The two controls are exact. When delta=0, receiver reflection is preserved as proved in Section 19, for every A, so the receiver cannot converge to either nonzero twist. When A=0, both q and S vanish everywhere: the mixed donor-twist/flat-receiver state is a full equilibrium for every admitted capacity contrast. Reflection also exchanges the preparations delta and -delta, rather than providing a mechanism that chooses one of them.

Storage is necessary, but target storage is not the entry barrier

Use the same storage and balance as in Section 18:

\[ E=\frac12\sum_{\{i,j\}}(x_i-x_j)^2 +\beta\sum_{\{i,j\}}\bigl(1-\cos(\theta_j-\theta_i)\bigr), \qquad \dot E=-e\sum_i\frac{\nu_i}{d_i}q_i^2. \]

Define the unit phase storage of one exact twist by

\[ V_5=5\left(1-\cos\frac{2\pi}{5}\right) =\frac{25-5\sqrt5}{4}. \]

For the supplied family,

\[ E(0)=\beta V_5+A^2,\qquad E_{\mathrm{target}}=2\beta V_5,\qquad \dot E(0)=-\frac{8e}{3}A^2. \]

The capacity contrast does not change this initial loss: the two contrast nodes have zero initial form gradient. For A!=0, the loss is strictly positive over some initial time interval. Therefore A^2>beta*V_5 is necessary for convergence to the desired endpoint. It is not sufficient, even at the level of a continuous phase path.

Two tempting stronger arguments need qualification. The closure of winding-one C5 configurations contains an antipodal face represented by increments (pi,pi/4,pi/4,pi/4,pi/4). Its unit phase storage is 6-2*sqrt(2), which is smaller than V_5. The antipodal winding itself is branch-dependent; nearby increments (pi-epsilon,(pi+epsilon)/4,...,(pi+epsilon)/4) have unambiguous winding one and still cost less than V_5 for sufficiently small positive epsilon. Thus winding alone does not impose the twist's storage lower bound. The critical geometry (2*pi/3,pi/3,pi/3,pi/3,pi/3) has storage 7/2, but a critical value alone is not a proof that every relevant path crosses it. Neither observation supplies the required full-network transition theorem.

Instead define U as the set in which both rings have strictly acute principal edge increments and winding (+1,+1). No restriction on form or bridge phase is imposed in this definition. The initial receiver is outside the closure of U. Any trajectory converging to the desired target enters U at a finite time. At the positive infimum of those entry times, continuity supplies a boundary state in which both rings are closed acute with these same windings. At least one ring is on an acute face. This argument allows the donor to unwind or leave its acute region earlier; it makes no assumption about the donor's entire past.

On a closed-acute winding-one C5 the five increments sum to 2*pi. A boundary increment cannot be -pi/2, since the remaining four increments are at most pi/2 each. Thus at least one is pi/2; the remaining four sum to 3*pi/2. Convexity of 1-cos on [-pi/2,pi/2] gives the sharp acute-face lower bound

\[ B_5=1+4\left(1-\cos\frac{3\pi}{8}\right) =5-4\cos\frac{3\pi}{8}, \]

attained when the remaining increments are all 3*pi/8. The other ring has storage at least V_5 by the same convexity and its fixed sum. Bridge and form storage are nonnegative. At the joint entry boundary, therefore,

\[ E\ \ge\ \beta(V_5+B_5). \]

Here B_5>V_5 by strict convexity: its five boundary increments are not equal. Combining this bound with the strict initial loss gives the stronger necessary condition

\[ \boxed{A^2>\beta B_5.} \]

For example, at beta=1, A=931/500 gives A^2=3.467044, strictly between V_5=3.454915... and B_5=3.469266.... Its initial storage exceeds the final target storage, but cannot finance entry to the joint acute target region. This is a path obstruction, not a failure of a numerical solver.

An analytic time window can exclude an apparently eligible preparation

The energy bound E(t)<=E(0)=E_0 yields, by Cauchy--Schwarz,

\[ |q_i(t)|\le\sqrt{2d_iE_0},\qquad |\dot x_i(t)|\le M_i:=\nu_i\left(e\sqrt{\frac{2E_0}{d_i}}+a\right). \]

Since q_h=2x_h-x_0-x_5,

\[ |\dot q_h|\le C:=2M_h+M_0+M_5,\qquad |q_h(t)|\ge (q_{\mathrm{init}}-Ct)_+,\qquad q_{\mathrm{init}}=2|A|. \]

The intermediary alone then supplies a lower bound on accumulated loss over any supplied window [0,tau]:

\[ \begin{aligned} s&=\min\left(\tau,\frac{q_{\mathrm{init}}}{C}\right),\\ L(\tau)&=\frac e2\left( q_{\mathrm{init}}^2s-q_{\mathrm{init}}Cs^2+\frac{C^2s^3}{3} \right) \ \le\ E(0)-E(\tau). \end{aligned} \]

The positive part is essential: squaring the negative continuation of q_init-C*t would invent a loss lower bound after its zero. Certified upper bounds for E_0 and C can replace their exact values conservatively.

For every receiver edge, the phase-rate bound is

\[ |\dot\theta_j-\dot\theta_i| \le b\sqrt{2E_0} \left(\frac{\nu_i}{\sqrt{d_i}}+\frac{\nu_j}{\sqrt{d_j}}\right). \]

Let G be the maximum right-hand side over the receiver edges. If G*tau<pi/2, every receiver increment stays strictly acute through that window, on its continuous lift from zero. Its winding therefore stays zero: joint target entry cannot occur before tau. If also

\[ \boxed{\beta B_5+L(\tau)-A^2>0,} \]

then E(tau)<beta*(V_5+B_5), so joint target entry cannot occur later either. This combines a finite phase-speed bound with irreversible loss; it does not require a simulated trajectory or a claim about the donor's intervening winding.

A uniform exclusion for the bounded localized-pulse family

Take the default coefficients e=w=1/2,beta=1. The preceding argument excludes every preparation

\[ \boxed{|A|\le2,\qquad |\delta|<1} \]

from convergence to the specified two-twist target. For |A|<=1 the initial storage already fails the joint entry barrier. For u=|A| in [1,2], set tau=1/5. Since V_5<7/2,

\[ E_0<\frac{15}{2},\qquad \sqrt{E_0}<\frac{11}{4},\qquad \sqrt{\frac{2E_0}{3}}<\frac94,\qquad a=b<\frac16. \]

The three nodes entering C all have unit capacity, so

\[ C=2e\left(\sqrt{E_0}+\sqrt{\frac{2E_0}{3}}\right)+4a <\frac{17}{3}<6. \]

Throughout [0,1/5], |q_h(t)|>=2u-6t>=4/5. In particular, the positive part has not expired. The accumulated loss is bounded below by

\[ L\ \ge\ \frac14\int_0^{1/5}(2u-6t)^2\,dt =\frac{u^2}{5}-\frac{3u}{25}+\frac3{125}. \]

Compare it with the loss the initial state could afford before losing access to the joint entry boundary:

\[ L-(u^2-B_5) \ \ge\ B_5-\frac45u^2-\frac3{25}u+\frac3{125} \ \ge\ B_5-\frac{427}{125} \ >\frac3{125}. \]

The middle expression is decreasing on [1,2]. The last strict inequality uses B_5>86/25, an elementary exact bound: sqrt(2)>7/5 implies cos^2(3*pi/8)<3/20<(39/100)^2, hence cos(3*pi/8)<39/100.

It remains to exclude entry before this loss has occurred. Adjacent receiver capacities sum to at most 2+|delta|<3, and their degrees are at least two. Thus the receiver-edge speed satisfies G<3*b*sqrt(E_0)<11/8, and every receiver phase increment has magnitude less than

\[ G\tau<\frac{11}{40}<\frac{\pi}{2} \]

through tau=1/5. Its winding remains zero until the total storage is already strictly below the target-entry requirement. This proves the claimed exclusion for the whole bounded family.

The case A=2,delta=1/2 makes the distinction especially clear: it has a nonzero odd response and passes both initial storage tests, but the simple analytic loss bound is 73/125=0.584 by tau=1/5, exceeding the available margin 4-B_5. Neither breaking the symmetry nor supplying that much localized form storage suffices to form the desired receiver pattern.

What this excludes and what it leaves open

The shared owner physics/relational_sine_formation.py evaluates the exact preparation identities, joint entry barrier and optional time-window exclusion. Passing a necessary condition means only that this check has not ruled the preparation out. It does not certify formation, a basin of attraction or physical emergence. The strict loss arguments require e>0; the uniform exclusion additionally uses the declared default coefficients and amplitude range.

The result does not exclude other preparations, larger amplitudes or other targets. It also identifies a concrete source of avoidable loss without changing the law. If donor form is a common D, intermediary form is H and receiver form remains zero, put s=D-H,r=H. The initial form storage and loss are exactly

\[ F=\frac{s^2+r^2}{2},\qquad -\frac{\dot E(0)}e =\frac{s^2+r^2}{3}+\frac{(r-s)^2}{2} =\frac{2F}{3}+\frac{(r-s)^2}{2}. \]

Within this declared two-parameter family, fixed F is least dissipative initially at s=r, or D=2H. Setting H=A retains F=A^2 and the same receiver odd acceleration, while reducing initial loss from 8eF/3 to 2eF/3. No receiver phase or winding seed is added. This is a restricted preparation comparison, not a global optimizer or a formation theorem; its later admission still requires a separate analysis. The present exclusion concerns the original localized preparation D=0,H=A only.

21. A balanced preparation and a directional loss obstruction

Retain the full support, initial phases, positive held capacities and desired two-twist target of Section 20. Change only the supplied form:

\[ x_0=\cdots=x_4=2A,\qquad x_h=A,\qquad x_5=\cdots=x_9=0. \]

This is the fixed-storage, least-initial-loss preparation within the two-parameter family proved there. It does not place a receiver phase, winding or form pattern into the initial state. It also does not minimize loss over all possible full-network preparations.

The initial form gradient and sine sum are exactly

\[ q(0)=A(\mathbf e_0-\mathbf e_5),\qquad S(0)=0. \]

Thus the intermediary initially has zero form gradient and zero rate, while the donor and receiver port rates are

\[ \dot x_0=-\frac{eA}{3},\qquad \dot x_5=\frac{eA}{3},\qquad \dot\theta_0=\frac{bA}{3},\qquad \dot\theta_5=-\frac{bA}{3}. \]

All other initial rates vanish. The initial storage is still beta*V_5+A^2, but its loss is now 2eA^2/3. The receiver's initial rates and odd acceleration (theta_6-theta_9)''=-be*delta*A/3 are unchanged; other derivatives are not. In particular, the earlier localized intermediary-loss estimate cannot transfer because q_h(0)=0. A separate full-network argument is needed.

A bound that retains the initial direction

Let L be the full unit-support Laplacian and put

\[ K=\operatorname{diag}\left(\frac{\nu_i}{d_i}\right),\qquad B=K^{1/2}LK^{1/2},\qquad H(\theta)=\nabla_\theta^2 \sum_{\{i,j\}}\bigl(1-\cos(\theta_j-\theta_i)\bigr). \]

Positive capacity makes K positive definite. For every real vector v, the edge representation gives

\[ |v^\mathsf T K^{1/2}H(\theta)K^{1/2}v| \le v^\mathsf T Bv,\qquad 0\preceq B\preceq 2\max_i\nu_i\,I. \]

The first bound uses only |cos|<=1, and holds outside acute phase regions as well. The second follows by bounding each squared edge difference by twice the sum of its squared endpoints. Choose any positive spectral upper bound lambda satisfying ||B||<=lambda; it then also bounds ||K^(1/2) H(theta) K^(1/2)|| for every phase state.

Define the exact variables

\[ y=K^{1/2}q,\qquad z=K^{1/2}S,\qquad C(\theta)=K^{1/2}H(\theta)K^{1/2}. \]

Differentiating the full nonlinear rows yields

\[ \dot y=-eBy+aBz,\qquad \dot z=-bC(\theta)y,\qquad -\dot E=e\|y\|^2. \]

Here S=-grad V, so its derivative carries the displayed minus sign. No phase linearization or diffusion-only trajectory has replaced the supplied law.

Suppose S(0)=0 and q(0)!=0. Write Y_0=||y(0)|| and u_0=y(0)/Y_0, and retain the exact initial spectral moments

\[ R=u_0^\mathsf TBu_0,\qquad \gamma=\|Bu_0\|,\qquad \omega=\sqrt{ab}\,\lambda. \]

For Y=||y|| and Z=||z||, norm upper derivatives satisfy

\[ D^+Y\le a\lambda Z,\qquad D^+Z\le b\lambda Y. \]

The omitted contribution in the first inequality is nonpositive because B is positive semidefinite. Comparison with this cooperative scalar system, starting from (Y_0,0), gives

\[ Y(t)\le Y_0\cosh(\omega t),\qquad Z(t)\le Y_0\sqrt{\frac ba}\sinh(\omega t). \]

For a lower bound, use variation of constants only as an exact identity for the first full row:

\[ \langle u_0,y(t)\rangle =Y_0\langle u_0,e^{-eBt}u_0\rangle +a\int_0^t \langle Be^{-eB(t-s)}u_0,z(s)\rangle\,ds. \]

The spectral weights of the first inner product are nonnegative and sum to one. Convexity of the scalar exponential therefore gives <u_0,exp(-eBt)u_0> >= exp(-eRt). Moreover, ||B exp(-eBs)u_0||<=gamma for s>=0. Combining these facts with the bound on Z proves

\[ \boxed{ \frac{Y(t)}{Y_0}\ge e^{-eRt}-\frac{\gamma}{\lambda} \bigl(\cosh(\omega t)-1\bigr).} \]

The right-hand side need not stay positive indefinitely; a negative value cannot be squared to infer a loss lower bound. The exact initial direction enters through R and gamma rather than treating all of y(0) as the fastest Laplacian mode.

A rational finite-window certificate

There is no need to evaluate a matrix exponential or a hyperbolic function to obtain a useful certificate. As one sufficient case, if a supplied horizon tau satisfies omega*tau<=2/5, then

\[ \cosh(\omega t)-1 \le \frac{11}{20}\omega^2t^2,\qquad 0\le t\le\tau. \]

Indeed, the nonnegative Taylor series and (2k)!>=2^k give cosh(2/5)<=25/23<11/10; integrating the bound on the second derivative twice gives the displayed inequality. More generally, any supplied rational bound v>=omega^2*tau^2 with 0<=v<2 gives

\[ \cosh(\omega t) \le\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}\left(\frac v2\right)^j =\frac1{1-v/2}=:M_\tau,\qquad 0\le t\le\tau. \]

This is the same factorial estimate, without the earlier 2/5 restriction. The earlier M_tau=11/10 remains a valid short-window choice when v<=4/25. Neither choice selects a horizon or changes the law. At v>=2 the geometric-series estimate is unavailable, not a proof of dynamical failure.

Using either admitted bound M_tau and a certified gamma_bar>=gamma, set

\[ d=eR,\qquad c=\frac{M_\tau}{2}\bar\gamma\,\lambda ab,\qquad g(t)=1-dt-ct^2. \]

Since exp(-eRt)>=1-eRt, if g(tau)>0 then Y(t)>=Y_0*g(t)>0 on the whole window. Accumulated loss consequently obeys the computable bound

\[ \begin{aligned} E(0)-E(\tau) &\ge eY_0^2\int_0^\tau g(t)^2\,dt\\ &=eY_0^2\left[ \tau-d\tau^2+\frac{d^2-2c}{3}\tau^3 +\frac{dc}{2}\tau^4+\frac{c^2}{5}\tau^5 \right]. \end{aligned} \]

It applies to the actual nonlinear solution over the supplied window. Its hypotheses are admitted independently of a measured response. If a separate nodal argument supplies another lower bound on the same accumulated loss, their maximum is valid; adding them would generally count the same loss twice. Specifically, the form-speed bounds of Section 20 give |q_i'|<=d_i*M_i+sum_(j~i) M_j at every node. Integrating each positive affine lower bound on |q_i|, with its actual initial gradient and weight e*nu_i/d_i, and summing those disjoint nodal losses gives one such alternative. This also explains why a zero initial intermediary gradient does not make the balanced preparation's full loss zero.

Exact moments for the balanced eleven-node family

For the present preparation,

\[ Y_0^2=\frac{2A^2}{3},\qquad R=1,\qquad \gamma^2=\frac43. \]

To verify these values, Kq(0) has only the two port entries +A/3,-A/3. The vector LKq(0) has entries +A,-A at the ports, -A/3 at donor nodes 1,4, +A/3 at receiver nodes 6,9, and zero elsewhere. In particular, its intermediary entry cancels exactly. It follows that y(0)^T B y(0)=2A^2/3 and ||B y(0)||^2=8A^2/9. The two receiver capacities enter the latter sum only through nu_6+nu_9=2, so both moments hold for every |delta|<1. They also imply D'(0)=-2eD(0) for D=-E', since z(0)=0.

At the default coefficients e=w=1/2,beta=1, use lambda=4 and gamma_bar=7/6: max nu_i<2, sqrt(4/3)<7/6, and a=b=1/(2*pi)<1/6. For tau=3/5 the preceding horizon condition holds. A convenient rational majorant for the quadratic coefficient is

\[ c_0=\frac{77}{1080} \ >\ \frac{11}{20}\bar\gamma\,\lambda ab. \]

Thus on [0,3/5],

\[ \frac{Y(t)}{Y_0}\ge g_0(t) :=1-\frac t2-\frac{77}{1080}t^2,\qquad g_0(3/5)=\frac{2023}{3000}>0. \]

Its exact integral and resulting loss bound at A=2 are

\[ \int_0^{3/5}g_0(t)^2\,dt =\frac{32259179}{75000000},\qquad E(0)-E(3/5)\ge \frac{32259179}{56250000}>0.57349. \]

These are rational inequalities derived from the law, not values sampled from a computed trajectory.

The same bounded amplitude family is still excluded

The result is uniform over |A|<=2,|delta|<1. Handle A=0 by the exact equilibrium control. Otherwise, c_0<1/8 implies

\[ g_0(t)^2 =1-t+\left(\frac14-2c_0\right)t^2 +c_0t^3+c_0^2t^4>1-t \quad(0<t\le3/5). \]

Therefore

\[ E(0)-E(3/5)> \frac{A^2}{3}\int_0^{3/5}(1-t)\,dt =\frac{7A^2}{50}. \]

The receiver starts flat, and the same global energy estimate as in Section 20 gives G<11/8 for every |A|<=2. Through tau=3/5 its edge increments consequently have magnitude less than 33/40<pi/2: it remains acute with winding zero. At that time the storage deficit relative to the joint target-entry boundary is strictly larger than

\[ B_5+\frac{7A^2}{50}-A^2 =B_5-\frac{43A^2}{50} \ge B_5-\frac{86}{25}>0. \]

It cannot have entered the joint target region before this window and lacks enough storage to enter later. Thus the balanced preparation is excluded throughout the same bounded family, despite its fourfold reduction in initial loss. For A=2,delta=1/2 the exact odd response still occurs; it does not lead to the specified two-twist endpoint.

This proves a new preparation-specific obstruction, not a universal absence of pattern formation. The following corollary extends it to the full constant-donor form family; neither result excludes larger storage, arbitrary form profiles, other targets or other coefficients. Its reusable contribution is a nonlinear loss certificate that retains the initial spectral direction, coupled to the independently proved phase-speed and joint-entry conditions. The shared formation owner keeps this evidence distinct from the localized-pulse bound. The remaining question is whether a declared preparation can change the required phase sector before losing access to its target, rather than whether it improves an instantaneous loss statistic.

Corollary: the whole constant-donor preparation family

At the default coefficients e=w=1/2,beta=1, retain the same initial phases, capacities |delta|<1 and two-twist target. Allow arbitrary signed constants D,H with donor form D, intermediary form H and receiver form zero. Define

\[ u=\frac D2,\qquad v=H-\frac D2,\qquad F=\frac{(D-H)^2+H^2}{2}=u^2+v^2. \]

Every such preparation with F<=4 is excluded from convergence to the target. When F=0, both constants vanish and the prepared state is the exact equilibrium already identified. For F>0, put rho=v^2/F, so 0<=rho<=1. The initial gradient has only three possibly nonzero entries,

\[ q_0=u-v,\qquad q_5=-u-v,\qquad q_h=2v, \]

and S(0)=0 still holds. The same full-support calculation as above gives the exact moments

\[ \begin{aligned} N=\|y(0)\|^2&=\frac{2u^2+8v^2}{3},\\ m_1=y(0)^\mathsf TBy(0)&=\frac{2u^2}{3}+4v^2,\\ m_2=\|By(0)\|^2&=\frac{8u^2+58v^2}{9}. \end{aligned} \]

For example, LKq has port entries u-2v,-u-2v, intermediary entry 8v/3, donor-neighbor entries (-u+v)/3 and receiver-neighbor entries (u+v)/3. The receiver capacity sum nu_6+nu_9=2 cancels all contrast dependence in the moments. Thus

\[ \frac NF=\frac{2+6\rho}{3},\qquad R=\frac{m_1}{N}=\frac{1+5\rho}{1+3\rho}\in[1,3/2], \qquad \gamma^2=\frac{m_2}{N} =\frac{8+50\rho}{6+18\rho}\le\frac{29}{12} <\left(\frac85\right)^2. \]

Use lambda=4,gamma_bar=8/5,tau=3/5 in the same directional certificate. Its quadratic coefficient is bounded above by c_1=22/225<1/8. The polynomial g(t)=1-R*t/2-c_1*t^2 satisfies

\[ g(3/5)\ge\frac{1287}{2500}>0,\qquad g(t)^2>1-Rt\quad(0<t\le3/5). \]

The second inequality follows by expansion: its quadratic coefficient is R^2/4-2c_1>=49/900>0 and its cubic and quartic coefficients are positive. The accumulated loss therefore obeys

\[ \begin{aligned} E(0)-E(3/5) &>\frac N2\left(\frac35-\frac{9R}{50}\right)\\ &=\frac{F(7+15\rho)}{50} \ \ge\ \frac{7F}{50}. \end{aligned} \]

This holds for both signs of u,v and does not require a nonzero odd initial receiver acceleration. Meanwhile, E(0)=V_5+F<15/2 for F<=4, so the same receiver gap bound keeps its winding zero through the entire window: G*tau<33/40<pi/2. The remaining storage is then below the joint target-entry boundary, because its deficit is strictly greater than

\[ B_5-\frac{43F}{50}\ge B_5-\frac{86}{25}>0. \]

Consequently no other choice of D,H inside this fixed storage budget can evade the obstruction. This removes the need to guess further profiles within the same two-parameter family. The engine report retains its localized and balanced profiles. The explicit donor-form interface described below also admits this whole constant-donor family as a subcase; neither interface evaluates its trajectories.

22. Donor shape, phase action and a uniform formation obstruction

Keep the complete eleven-node support, donor twist, flat receiver and intermediary phase, and default coefficients of Sections 20-21. For this preparation family fix delta=1/2. Supply arbitrary signed donor form D=(D_0,...,D_4) and intermediary form H, while receiver form remains zero. These six independent initial values replace a constant-donor restriction; no new evolution law, edge or input is introduced.

The exact six-coordinate quadratic forms

Let z=(D_0,D_1,D_2,D_3,D_4,H)^T and let P place these coordinates at full-network nodes (0,1,2,3,4,10), placing zeros at the receiver. With the same full L,K as in Section 21, the exact storage and spectral moment matrices are

\[ \begin{aligned} F&=\tfrac12 z^\mathsf TP^\mathsf TLPz,\\ N&=z^\mathsf TP^\mathsf TLKLPz,\\ m_1&=z^\mathsf TP^\mathsf TLKLKLPz,\\ m_2&=z^\mathsf TP^\mathsf TLKLKLKLPz. \end{aligned} \]

These expressions retain all receiver and intermediary rows; they do not substitute a six-node graph. Equivalently,

\[ F=\frac12\left[ \sum_{j=0}^4(D_j-D_{j+1\bmod5})^2+(D_0-H)^2+H^2 \right], \]

and the only possibly nonzero initial gradient entries are

\[ \begin{aligned} q_0&=3D_0-D_1-D_4-H,\\ q_j&=2D_j-D_{j-1}-D_{j+1}\quad(1\le j\le4),\\ q_5&=-H,\qquad q_h=2H-D_0, \end{aligned} \]

where the donor subscripts in the second line are taken modulo five. Thus

\[ N=\frac{q_0^2}{3} +\frac12\sum_{j=1}^4q_j^2+\frac{H^2}{3} +\frac{(2H-D_0)^2}{2}. \]

The remaining forms can also be evaluated without a matrix square root: set k_i=nu_i/d_i and v_i=k_iq_i. Then

\[ m_1=\sum_{\{i,j\}}(v_i-v_j)^2,\qquad m_2=\sum_i k_i \left[\sum_{j\sim i}(v_i-v_j)\right]^2. \]

All four forms are rational quadratic forms on the declared six coordinates. In fact their coefficients are independent of delta throughout |delta|<1: the two contrast capacities first enter m_2 through receiver neighbors with equal (Lv)_6=(Lv)_9=H/3, and their sum is fixed. The interval loss and receiver-speed bounds still consume the actual individual capacities.

Which donor information reaches the receiver first

The exact initial sine currents vanish for every supplied form. Let chi=theta_6-theta_9 and eta=e^2-ab. Direct differentiation of the full rows gives

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot x_5(0)&=\frac{eH}{3},& \dot\theta_5(0)&=-\frac{bH}{3},\\ \ddot\theta_5(0)&=\frac{be}{6}(4H-D_0),& \ddot\chi(0)&=-\frac{be\delta H}{3},\\ \theta_5^{(3)}(0)&= \frac{b\eta}{18}(9D_0-D_1-D_4-22H),& \chi^{(3)}(0)&=\frac{b\eta\delta}{6}(8H-D_0). \end{aligned} \]

Here chi(0)=chi'(0)=0. These are derivatives of the full nonlinear law at the supplied preparation, not derivatives of an independently fitted or linearized response. The receiver first reads the intermediary form; the donor port and then its neighbor sum appear at higher derivative orders. The two remaining donor coordinates do not appear in these displayed receiver derivatives. Their absence at these orders does not prove absence of later influence.

There is, however, an exact silent two-dimensional subspace:

\[ D_0=H=0,\qquad D_1=-D_4,\qquad D_2=-D_3. \]

Let Q=(1\,4)(2\,3) reflect only the donor, fixing its port, the intermediary and every receiver node. The full law is equivariant under the composition

\[ (x,\theta)\longmapsto(-Qx,-Q\theta) \]

on the circle-valued phase state. The donor capacities are paired equally, while this permutation does not exchange receiver capacities. The prepared donor twist and the above form subspace are fixed by this transformation. Uniqueness therefore preserves the combined symmetry for all time.

At each fixed receiver or intermediary node it forces form zero and a phase in {0,pi}. Continuity from the prepared phase zero fixes that phase to zero forever. Thus the receiver and intermediary remain exactly unchanged, even at nonzero capacity contrast and arbitrarily large form storage in this subspace. This is cancellation under an existing interaction law, not absence of the supplied edges. Receiver formation is impossible for these preparations without a separately supplied symmetry-breaking change.

The six-coordinate space also splits into donor-reflection-even and donor-reflection-odd parts. The four quadratic forms above have no cross terms between those parts. The odd two-dimensional part is exactly this silent form subspace. For D_1=s,D_2=t its storage and initial dissipative norm are F=2s^2-2st+3t^2 and N=5s^2-10st+10t^2. Nonzero internal loss alone therefore does not establish a receiver response.

Source symmetry, nonlinear work and a uniform tangent obstruction

Retain the same six-coordinate source, e=w=1/2, beta=1, delta=1/2, all eleven fine nodes and no input or event. The following decomposition is exact; it does not declare the receiver's future input independently of the donor and intermediary.

Write the initial source in coordinates

\[ \begin{aligned} C&=D_0-H,& s_1&=(D_1+D_4)/2-D_0,&s_2&=(D_2+D_3)/2-D_0,\\ o_1&=(D_1-D_4)/2,&o_2&=(D_2-D_3)/2. \end{aligned} \]

H,C,s_1,s_2 specify the donor-reflection-even form and its live port contrasts. The two o coordinates specify the odd form. With Q=(1 4)(2 3) extended by the identity outside the donor, these are x_e=(x+Qx)/2 and x_o=(x-Qx)/2. Direct edge accounting gives

\[ \boxed{\begin{aligned} F&=F_e+F_o,\\ F_e&=\frac12(H^2+C^2)+s_1^2+(s_2-s_1)^2,\\ F_o&=o_1^2+(o_2-o_1)^2+2o_2^2. \end{aligned}} \]

The same orthogonal parity split holds for N,m_1,m_2, and indeed every initial moment y_0^T B^j y_0, because Q commutes with L,K and B=K^(1/2)LK^(1/2). This does not make the nonlinear field a direct sum of two systems. The exact silence theorem applies to the odd source alone. Removing its coordinates from a mixed preparation requires an additional closure argument, which the next counterexample disproves.

Equal energy and spectral moments do not determine receiver work

Compare the two exact rational preparations

\[ H=1,\qquad D^+=(0,1,0,0,-1),\qquad D^-=-D^+. \]

They have identical even coordinates, F_e=1, F_o=2, F=3, N=23/3, and every initial quadratic spectral moment. They differ only in the sign of the silent odd source. Keep the initial donor phase orientation +1 fixed in both preparations; reversing form is not a reversal of that prepared phase geometry. For a quantity f, write Delta f=f^+-f^-, and put alpha=2*pi/5, a=w/pi, b=w/(beta*pi) as above.

The first mixed term is at the donor port. If v=KLx, its even and odd components satisfy v_0=-1/3, v_{1,e}=0 and v_{1,o}=1 for the positive preparation. Differentiating the actual sine current twice gives

\[ \boxed{n_0:=\Delta x_0^{(3)}(0) =-\frac83ab^2\sin\alpha\, (v_{1,e}-v_0)v_{1,o} =-\frac89ab^2\sin\alpha.} \]

For clarity, the quadratic contribution is -sin(alpha)*[(dot theta_1-dot theta_0)^2 -(dot theta_4-dot theta_0)^2] in S_0''; the bridge has zero initial sine. Linear contributions at the fixed port agree by reflection. Thus the displayed difference is a derivative of the full nonlinear law, not a fitted higher-order response.

Transmission through the retained intermediary yields

\[ \Delta x_{10}^{(4)}(0)=\frac e2n_0,\qquad \Delta x_5^{(5)}(0)=\frac{e^2-ab}{6}n_0,\qquad \Delta\theta_5^{(5)}(0)=-\frac{eb}{6}n_0. \]

The receiver form and phase derivatives of orders zero through four agree. Reuse the receiver's exact signed work and full-nodal loss ledger, J_R=E_R+D_R, rather than substituting a port-motion score. At the preparation q_5=-1, and Delta q_5^{(4)}=-e*n_0/2; hence

\[ \boxed{\begin{aligned} \Delta J_R^{(5)}(0)&=\Delta D_R^{(5)}(0)=\frac{e^2}{3}n_0,\\ \Delta E_R^{(6)}(0)&=\frac{2e^3}{3}n_0. \end{aligned}} \]

In the stated half-weight model both displayed nonzero work and storage coefficients equal -sin(alpha)/(108*pi^3). Their orders differ: the leading change in accumulated incoming work is matched by receiver loss; retained storage first differs one derivative later. This is neither a positive formation verdict nor an assertion that more incoming work must be useful.

Analyticity makes these strict local differences an exact counterexample to a receiver predictor retaining only the four even coordinates plus F,N and initial spectral moments. Pure odd silence cannot justify such a nonlinear source reduction. The example supplies a closure obstruction, not a newly evaluated trajectory or a preparation chosen to force barrier passage.

Every communicating tangent response stays below the receiver barrier

Let theta_* be the original donor-twist/flat-receiver phase, and let H_* be its full phase Hessian: donor cycle edges have weight cos(alpha)>0; receiver and bridge edges have weight one. The complete constant tangent system for a real phase deviation eta, with initial eta=0, is

\[ \dot x=-eKLx-aKH_*\eta,\qquad \dot\eta=aKLx. \]

There is no simultaneous-mode assumption. The matrices B=K^(1/2)LK^(1/2) and C_*=K^(1/2)H_*K^(1/2) need not commute. Their already proved support bounds suffice:

\[ \lambda_+(B)\ge1/44,\qquad 0\le C_*\le B,\qquad \lambda_{\max}(C_*)\le3. \]

First consider any initial form, and put F_t=x^T Lx/2, P_t=eta^T H_*eta/2, D_t=e*(Lx)^T K(Lx). Direct differentiation gives

\[ \dot F_t=-D_t-\dot P_t,\qquad \dot P_t=a(Lx)^\mathsf TK H_*\eta,\qquad D_t\ge\gamma F_t,\quad \gamma=2e\lambda_+(B), \]
\[ |\dot P_t|\le A\sqrt{D_tP_t},\qquad A^2=\frac{2a^2\lambda_{\max}(C_*)}{e},\qquad \frac A{\sqrt\gamma} \le\frac{\sqrt{132}}\pi<4. \]

The storage-angle argument now supplies an all-time bound. Where F_t,P_t>0, set phi=atan(sqrt(P_t/F_t)), k=D_t/F_t and h=dot P_t/(2*sqrt(F_t*P_t)). Then

\[ \dot\phi=h+\frac k2\sin\phi\cos\phi,\qquad \frac{2h}{k}<4. \]

For G(phi)=(2/9)*(phi+sin(phi)*cos(phi)), G'=4*cos(phi)^2/9. It follows that (F_t+P_t)*exp(G(phi)) is nonincreasing, because

\[ \frac{d}{dt}\log[(F_t+P_t)e^{G(\phi)}] \le k\cos^2\phi\left[-1+\frac49 \left(2+\frac14\right)\right]=0. \]

The function sin(phi)^2*exp(-G(phi)) increases to exp(-pi/9) on [0,pi/2]. At zero-norm strata the same continuous, locally absolutely continuous extension as in the full-state storage-angle proof applies; no zero form or zero phase state is excluded by division. Consequently P_t<=F_t(0)*exp(-pi/9) for every future time.

For the present receiver observation this improves to a bound using only F_e. The donor reflection commutes with L,H_* and K, so the odd tangent solution has zero receiver coordinates for all time. The full tangent receiver response equals the even-only one. If eta_R^tan is its receiver phase deviation and L_R the internal five-edge receiver Laplacian, then

\[ \boxed{\frac12\|L_R^{1/2}\eta_R^{\rm tan}(t)\|^2 \le F_e e^{-\pi/9}\le\frac34F_e\le3, \qquad t\ge0.} \]

The middle inequality is strict when F_e>0, since exp(pi/9)>1+1/3=4/3. At F_e=0 the receiver tangent response is exactly zero. This is a uniform bound over the original source budget, not a search for a favorable spectral direction or a certificate for the nonlinear receiver.

A full nonlinear storage bound forces the donor barrier first

The same angle method also gives a distinct result for the actual nonlinear field, provided its nonzero initial donor phase storage is retained. This step does not replace that storage by a tangent cost. For the full unit phase potential V, nodal Cauchy--Schwarz and sin(u)^2<=2*(1-cos(u)) give globally

\[ \begin{aligned} S^\mathsf TKS &\le\sum_i\nu_i\sum_{j\sim i}\sin^2(\theta_j-\theta_i)\\ &\le4\max_i\nu_i\,V=6V. \end{aligned} \]

Therefore dot E=-D, D>=gamma*F(t) and |dot V|<=sqrt(6*a^2/e)*sqrt(D*V) obey precisely the preceding angle inequalities, now with P_t replaced by V(t). No acute phase condition, simultaneous modal basis or linearization is used. Initially V(0)=V_5; for initial form storage F>0 the resulting all-time bound is

\[ \boxed{V(t)\le\mathcal B(F) :=(F+V_5)\exp\!\left[ G\!\left(\arctan\sqrt{V_5/F}\right)-\frac\pi9\right].} \]

At F=0 the source is the exact stationary donor-only state, consistent with the continuous value mathcal B(0)=V_5. This bound increases with the supplied form budget, since

\[ \frac{d}{dF}\log\mathcal B(F) =\frac1{F+V_5}-\frac{2\sqrt{FV_5}}{9(F+V_5)^2}>0. \]

A rational majorant at F=4 suffices for the entire class. The exact inequalities 559/250<sqrt(5)<56/25 imply 69/20<V_5<691/200. Thus

\[ \phi_4=\arctan\sqrt{V_5/4} <\arctan\frac{93}{100} =\frac\pi4-\arctan\frac7{193} <\frac{11}{14}-\frac7{193}+\frac13\left(\frac7{193}\right)^3 <\frac34. \]

Here pi<22/7 and the alternating lower bound atan(t)>t-t^3/3 are sufficient. Hence G(phi_4)<5/18. Using pi>157/50 and the positive exponential series gives

\[ \frac\pi9-G(\phi_4)>\frac{16}{225},\qquad e^{16/225}>1+\frac{16}{225}+\frac12\left(\frac{16}{225}\right)^2 =\frac{54353}{50625}. \]

Consequently the following bound is rigorous without a trajectory or a numerical optimization:

\[ \boxed{V(t)\le\mathcal B(F)\le\mathcal B(4) <\frac{3019275}{434824}<\frac{139}{20} <V_5+\frac72,\qquad F\le4,\ t\ge0.} \]

Suppose the receiver reaches its first potential barrier at tau_R. All other edge potentials are nonnegative, so at that instant

\[ \boxed{V_D(\tau_R)<\frac{139}{20}-\frac72=\frac{69}{20}<V_5.} \]

Before crossing its own 7/2 barrier, the donor remains in its initial twist component, where V_D>=V_5. It must therefore have crossed that barrier strictly before tau_R, for the entire original budget F<=4. This extends the earlier energy-only order restriction beyond F<=7/2. It also excludes simultaneous donor and receiver barrier states, which would require V>=7. The required donor phase-storage release at receiver passage is strictly greater than

\[ V_5-\frac{69}{20}=\frac{56-25\sqrt5}{20}>0. \]

This is a structural restriction on any successful receiver-directed mechanism: it must use a path that first escapes the donor well and releases donor phase storage. It neither predicts a passage time nor excludes sequential receiver acquisition. Potential-well departure is not an assertion about the donor's instantaneous wrapped winding or its eventual equilibrium.

A receiver passage needs a nonzero, quantified nonlinear contribution

Let eta_R^full be the receiver's continuous phase lift from its initial flat phase under the actual law. At any actual first potential barrier V_R=7/2, the global inequality 1-cos u<=u^2/2 and the triangle inequality imply

\[ \boxed{\|L_R^{1/2}(\eta_R^{\rm full}-\eta_R^{\rm tan})\| \ge\sqrt7-\sqrt{2F_e e^{-\pi/9}} >\sqrt7-\sqrt6.} \]

This uses the same initial state and clock for the full and tangent solutions. Removing a common phase origin does not change the norm. It does not equate primitive phase with an inferred regional angle. For F_e=0, exact nonlinear silence already excludes the passage; the conditional inequality remains consistent with that control.

The required correction has an exact source. Define, on the full graph and the retained real lift,

\[ R(\eta)=S(\theta_*+\eta)+H_*\eta, \qquad \mathcal A_*= \begin{pmatrix}-eKL&-aKH_*\\aKL&0\end{pmatrix}. \]

With z=(x,eta) and matching initial conditions, variation of constants gives

\[ \boxed{z^{\rm full}(t)-z^{\rm tan}(t) =a\int_0^t e^{\mathcal A_*(t-s)} \binom{K R(\eta^{\rm full}(s))}{0}\,ds.} \]

Every edge term of R is the actual sine remainder sin(alpha_ij+u)-sin(alpha_ij)-cos(alpha_ij)*u, whose magnitude is at most u^2/2. It contains the mixed source mechanism above and possible release of donor phase storage. It is not an added input or a freely selected receiver waveform.

Thus no improved tangent source direction within F<=4 can by itself explain receiver barrier passage. A positive route must justify this finite nonlinear conversion; a negative route must bound the actual convolution or receiver work below its required gap. The current bound does neither for all mixed preparations. No new reserved source, basin verdict, loss law or numerical response follows from these source and closure results alone.

The existing formation owner exposes source.receiver_excitation() as SineReceiverExcitation. It reconstructs both full source components and their actual form storage and dissipative norms before admitting the separate fixed-law tangent result. Its rational ceiling is 3*F_e/4, with strictness only for positive F_e. The necessary_nonlinear_correction_norm_bounds field encloses the analytic threshold sqrt(7)-sqrt(3*F_e/2), not the realized nonlinear correction. A positive lower endpoint supplies a conservative necessary condition; an unsupported law or unresolved threshold supplies no new response verdict. Odd coordinates remain present in the report. The separately admitted full_phase_budget_status requires the original complete law and total F<=4. It exposes actual_full_phase_storage_upper_bound=139/20, the conditional donor_potential_barrier_first_required and an outward lower bound on the necessary donor phase-potential decrease. The latter is not identified incoming receiver work or a reusable reserve: released potential can dissipate or remain elsewhere in the system. Outside that law or budget these separate fields stay unavailable, without discarding the geometric decomposition or changing the tangent scope. The independent excitation controls check the complete-support parity, energy-angle and nonlinear-mixture identities; the formation controls retain source admission and report boundaries. None evaluates a new trajectory or turns the tangent ceiling into a nonlinear upper bound.

A weighted nonlinear proof function excludes receiver identity below a source threshold

Keep the same complete half-weight sine law, unit storage scale, held capacities, initial donor twist and initially flat receiver. All six source coordinates remain free. The two bridges are cut edges, which supplies more regional information than a bound on total phase storage alone.

Let chi_D,chi_R be the indicator columns of the two rings and let e_0,e_5 be the corresponding port coordinate columns. Define the constant maps

\[ T_D=\operatorname{diag}(\chi_D)-e_0\chi_D^{\mathsf T},\qquad T_R=\operatorname{diag}(\chi_R)-e_5\chi_R^{\mathsf T},\qquad T_B=I-T_D-T_R. \]

The full sine current satisfies sum_i S_i=0. Internal edge currents cancel in each regional sum, so chi_R^T S=sin(theta_10-theta_5); the corresponding donor identity uses port zero. Consequently T_R S is precisely the receiver's internal sine-current vector, embedded in all eleven coordinates. Likewise T_D S is the donor internal current and T_B S is the two-bridge current. Thus, for the internal ring potentials and total bridge potential V_B,

\[ \nabla V_D=-T_DS,\qquad \nabla V_R=-T_RS,\qquad \nabla V_B=-T_BS. \]

These identities retain the full nodal current; they introduce neither an independent receiver input nor a removed intermediary. They depend on this supplied cut-edge geometry, not on arbitrary graph partitions.

Write a=1/(2*pi), q=Lx, and define

\[ \boxed{\mathcal U =\mathcal F+V_D+\frac75V_R+\frac76V_B -\frac13q^{\mathsf T}KS,\qquad \mathcal F=\frac12x^{\mathsf T}Lx.} \]

The unequal weights and cross term belong to an auxiliary proof function. They are not storage allocations or additional coefficients in the nodal dynamics. Put M=T_D+(7/5)*T_R+(7/6)*T_B and A=KLK. The actual rows give

\[ \dot q=-\frac12LKq+aLKS,\qquad \dot S=-aH(\theta)Kq,\qquad H(\theta)\preceq L. \]

Direct differentiation, with no phase linearization, therefore yields

\[ \dot{\mathcal U}\le -\binom{q}{S}^{\!\mathsf T}Q(a)\binom{q}{S}, \qquad Q(a)=\begin{pmatrix} \frac12K-\frac a3A & -\frac12\left[aK(I-M)+\frac16A\right]\\ -\frac12\left[a(I-M)^{\mathsf T}K+\frac16A\right] & \frac a3A \end{pmatrix}. \]

Here q,S both have zero ordinary sum. Testing unrelated constant vectors in this quadratic form would impose a condition on states that the full nodal law never supplies. Instead use the exact rational basis

\[ P=\begin{pmatrix}I_{10}\\-\mathbf1_{10}^{\mathsf T}\end{pmatrix}, \qquad Z=\operatorname{diag}(P,P),\qquad Q_*(a)=Z^{\mathsf T}Q(a)Z. \]

The original capacities fix K=diag(1/3,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/2,1/3,3/4,1/2,1/2,1/4,1/2). Thus both matrices Q_*(7/44) and Q_*(25/157) are rational twenty-dimensional matrices determined by the displayed formulas and the twelve unit edges. Exact LDL elimination without pivoting gives twenty positive diagonal pivots at each endpoint, each strictly larger than 1/10000. This claim is reproducible using the recurrence

\[ A^{(0)}=Q_*(a),\qquad d_j=A^{(j)}_{jj},\qquad A^{(j+1)}_{rs}=A^{(j)}_{rs} -\frac{A^{(j)}_{rj}A^{(j)}_{js}}{d_j},\quad r,s>j. \]

Only exact rational arithmetic is needed for these forty pivot signs. The shared exact matrix owner implements the same test. Since 157/50<pi<22/7, the actual a lies strictly between the two rational endpoints. The matrix Q_*(a) is affine in a; convexity of the positive-definite cone proves Q_*(a)>0 for that entire interval. The finite rational certificate therefore proves the all-state inequality for the actual transcendental coefficient, rather than approximating a trajectory or inferring a spectral sign from a floating-point eigensolver. In particular,

\[ \boxed{\dot{\mathcal U}<0\quad\text{whenever }(q,S)\ne(0,0).} \]

At the declared preparation, both bridges are aligned, the receiver is flat and S=0. Hence U(0)=F+V_5. At any relative equilibrium the common form makes F(t)=0, and q=S=0; thus U_infinity=V_D+(7/5)*V_R+(7/6)*V_B. The complete equilibrium catalog has zero sine current on each bridge and each isolated ring. Every nonflat receiver critical geometry has V_R>=V_5, and every other term in this limiting weighted potential is nonnegative. It follows that a nonflat receiver limit requires U_infinity>=7*V_5/5.

The already proved full-state convergence theorem applies unchanged. For a nonzero source, q(0)!=0, so strict decrease over an initial time interval gives U_infinity<U(0). Therefore

\[ \boxed{F\le F_*:=\frac25V_5=\frac{5-\sqrt5}{2} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \text{the receiver converges to relative phase consensus}.} \]

At F=0 the initial donor-only equilibrium is stationary, so the same conclusion holds. Strict initial decrease includes the closed threshold for real preparations; a finite rational source cannot equal this irrational threshold exactly. Its admission can nevertheless use only rational comparisons: with z=5-2*F, the condition is equivalent to z>=0 and z*z>=5.

This theorem treats all six source coordinates and their nonlinear mixtures, without a time cutoff or assumed waveform. It determines the receiver's limiting geometry, not the donor's endpoint, any intervening wrapped winding, or the absence of a transient potential-barrier visit. The cross term prevents interpreting U as a pointwise upper bound on receiver phase storage. Above F_*, failure of this sufficient certificate is not evidence of receiver acquisition. The original F<=4 accessibility problem remains open on that unresolved range.

The mathematical argument uses the fixed initial phase geometry and total form storage, not zero receiver form: it also holds for arbitrary initial forms on the eleven nodes with those same phases and capacities. The public reader retains the declared six-coordinate preparation contract; this wider theorem scope does not install a new preparation or response campaign.

The shared formation owner exposes this separate result through source.receiver_localization() as SineReceiverLocalization. It validates the same complete law and preparation before applying the exact algebraic threshold. The existing receiver-transfer reader retains that report and uses a certified localization as an exclusion of maintained receiver acquisition. The localization controls independently reconstruct the cut-current maps and rational derivative matrices, verify their LDL signs and check public scope boundaries. No trajectory or source search is part of this certificate.

One nonuniform donor preparation at the same storage budget

Consider the exact rational preparation

\[ D=\frac13(10,13,14,14,13),\qquad H=\frac43, \qquad \delta=\frac12. \]

It is donor-reflection-even, lies outside the silent subspace, and has

\[ \begin{aligned} F&=4,\\ q&=(0,2/3,1/3,1/3,2/3,-4/3,0,0,0,0,-2/3),\\ N&=\frac{37}{27},\qquad m_1=\frac{43}{54},\qquad m_2=\frac{47}{54},\\ R&=\frac{43}{74},\qquad \gamma^2=\frac{47}{74}. \end{aligned} \]

Its ratio N/F=37/108<2/3 disproves extension of the constant-donor lower bound N>=2F/3 to arbitrary donor shape. It is not asserted to minimize any quadratic form. It also does not retain the same initial receiver drive as the balanced F=4,H=2 preparation: its first receiver rates and odd acceleration have two-thirds of that magnitude. Less initial loss is not an equal-response improvement here.

The short-window directional certificate can be inconclusive for this preparation. That is not evidence of formation or of an interesting surviving basin. The extended rational majorant in Section 21 resolves the same preparation without evaluating a trajectory.

For delta=1/2, use lambda=3. Since gamma<4/5 and a=b<1/6, choose the supplied horizon tau=6/5. It satisfies omega*tau<3/5. The factorial estimate gives cosh(3/5)<=50/41<5/4, so the polynomial coefficient can be bounded by

\[ c\le\frac58\bar\gamma\,\lambda ab<\frac1{24}. \]

With d=eR=43/148, a conservative lower polynomial is g(t)=1-(43/148)t-t^2/24. Its endpoint and exact integrated loss satisfy

\[ g(6/5)=\frac{547}{925}>0,\qquad E(0)-E(6/5)\ge \frac{7564289}{13875000}>\frac{27}{50}. \]

The joint target-entry boundary permits loss of only 4-B_5<27/50. One elementary verification of this strict bound is sqrt(2)>141/100, which gives cos^2(3*pi/8)<59/400<(77/200)^2 and hence B_5>173/50.

It remains necessary to rule out earlier entry. At this fixed contrast the largest receiver-edge sum nu_i/sqrt(d_i)+nu_j/sqrt(d_j) is 5/(2*sqrt(2)). With E(0)=V_5+4<15/2, the global receiver-gap speed satisfies

\[ G<\frac{55}{48},\qquad G\,\frac65<\frac{11}{8}<\frac{\pi}{2}. \]

The receiver remains acute with winding zero until the storage is already below the joint entry requirement. The nonuniform preparation is therefore excluded from the two-twist target. Its nonzero receiver response still occurs, but does not establish formation. The decisive change was a sharper proof window for the same law and same initial data.

A class-level lower bound on any target-entry time

A separate action estimate applies to the whole six-coordinate preparation class. Write D_loss(t)=E(0)-E(t) for accumulated loss, distinguishing it from donor form. If a first joint acute target entry occurs at time T, its boundary storage implies

\[ D_{\mathrm{loss}}(T)\le F-\beta B_5. \]

If the right-hand side is nonpositive, the earlier strict-storage obstruction already applies. Otherwise, the initially flat receiver can acquire winding one only if some continuous lifted receiver edge difference first reaches +pi or -pi at a time s<=T. Before any such crossing, its wrapped edge increments equal those continuous differences and their sum around the cycle remains zero.

For k_i=nu_i/d_i, weighted Cauchy--Schwarz gives

\[ |\dot\theta_j-\dot\theta_i|^2 \le b^2(k_i+k_j)\,q^\mathsf TKq =\frac{b^2(k_i+k_j)}e\,\dot D_{\mathrm{loss}}. \]

Let k_max be the largest k_i+k_j over receiver edges. Integrating to that necessary crossing and applying Cauchy--Schwarz in time yields

\[ \pi^2 \le\frac{b^2k_{\max}}e\,sD_{\mathrm{loss}}(s) \le\frac{b^2k_{\max}}e\,T(F-\beta B_5). \]

Consequently every such entry must satisfy

\[ \boxed{ T\ge\frac{e\pi^2}{b^2k_{\max}(F-\beta B_5)}.} \]

At the present default coefficients and delta=1/2, k_max=5/4. For F<=4 and positive allowable loss, B_5>173/50 and pi>3 imply

\[ T>\frac{80\pi^4}{27}>240. \]

This is a necessary time conditional on target entry, expressed in the declared sine-model clock. It is neither a prediction that entry occurs nor a global phase-speed bound for trajectories that spend more than the permitted loss. The shared report's phase_action_bound retains the allowable-loss interval, actual maximum receiver-edge mobility and a lower bound on the necessary entry time. It supplies no time when the positive allowance is unavailable. An admitted horizon below that bound can exclude earlier joint entry; excluding entry afterwards still requires its separately justified loss deficit. Any successful path would have to preserve the small remaining allowance for at least that long.

A global auxiliary function excludes the maintained target for the whole class

The early-window bounds retain useful preparation-specific information, but a joint full-field argument closes the stated six-coordinate class without optimizing independent moment ranges or extending a trajectory window. Keep exactly delta=1/2, beta=1, the supplied eleven-node support, initial phase configuration and held capacities of this section. For this auxiliary-function argument, allow positive effective coefficients in the explicit sufficient domain

\[ e>0,\qquad w>0,\qquad 0<r:=\frac we<\frac32. \]

This is an open neighborhood of the reference ratio r=1, not a sharp formation threshold or an optimized parameter range. It changes only the relative coefficients of the same complete normalized-sine law. The earlier finite preparations, responses and default-clock time estimates retain their original coefficients; they are not reevaluated here. Let the instantaneous form storage be mathcal F(t)=x(t)^T L x(t)/2, so the preparation's F is mathcal F(0). Write

\[ y=K^{1/2}q,\qquad \zeta=K^{1/2}S,\qquad B=K^{1/2}LK^{1/2},\qquad C(\theta)=K^{1/2}H(\theta)K^{1/2}, \qquad a=b=\frac w\pi. \]

These are the full eleven-node gradient variables from Section 21, not a six-node evolution. Their exact complete rows are

\[ \dot y=-eBy+aB\zeta,\qquad \dot\zeta=-bC(\theta)y. \]

For every phase state, the edge Hessian representation gives C(theta)<=B in quadratic-form order, since each cosine is at most one. No acute-phase, winding-preservation or positive-Hessian premise is needed. Both sum_i q_i=0 and sum_i S_i=0, so y and zeta are perpendicular to ker(B)=span(K^(-1/2)*1) at all times. This excludes the zero mode from the matrix estimate below without discarding a consumed coordinate.

The positive spectrum of B lies in a known rational interval. The full-support path bound gives lambda_2(L)>=1/11. Here K>=I/4, and the nonzero spectrum of B equals that of L^(1/2) K L^(1/2)>=L/4. The min-max principle thus gives lambda_+(B)>=1/44. The existing upper estimate B<=2*max_i(nu_i)*I gives lambda_max(B)<=3. Hence

\[ \frac1{44}\le\lambda\le3 \quad\text{for every positive eigenvalue of }B. \]

Now define an auxiliary proof function, not a new physical storage or term in the dynamics:

\[ \boxed{\mathcal W= c\,\mathcal F+V(\theta)-h\,y^\mathsf T\zeta, \qquad c=\frac45,\qquad h=\frac a{2e}=\frac r{2\pi}.} \]

The coefficient c and the mixed coefficient h belong only to this certificate. At the reference e=w=1/2, one has h=a=1/(2*pi), so this is the same function as the fixed-coefficient obstruction. The full form and phase storage derivatives are mathcal F_dot=-e*||y||^2+a*y^T*zeta and V_dot=-b*y^T*zeta, with a=b. Differentiating W and then using C(theta)<=B gives the all-state inequality

\[ \begin{aligned} \dot{\mathcal W} ={}&-ce\|y\|^2+a(c-1)y^\mathsf T\zeta +he\,y^\mathsf TB\zeta-ha\,\zeta^\mathsf TB\zeta +hb\,y^\mathsf TC(\theta)y\\ \le{}&-ce\|y\|^2+a(c-1)y^\mathsf T\zeta +he\,y^\mathsf TB\zeta-ha\,\zeta^\mathsf TB\zeta +hb\,y^\mathsf TBy. \end{aligned} \]

Diagonalize the constant symmetric matrix B on its positive spectral subspace and put rho=a/e=r/pi. The contribution of one mode to the last line is

\[ -e\left(c-\frac{\rho^2\lambda}{2}\right)y_\lambda^2 +a\left(c-1+\frac\lambda2\right)y_\lambda\zeta_\lambda -\frac{e\rho^2\lambda}{2}\zeta_\lambda^2. \]

The admitted ratio and pi>3 give 0<rho<1/2. The positive magnitude of its first negative term is therefore strictly greater than e*(4/5-3/8)=17*e/40; the last negative term also has positive magnitude. The determinant condition for strict negative definiteness is

\[ p(\lambda):=(1-c)^2-(c+1)\lambda +\left(\frac14+\rho^2\right)\lambda^2<0. \]

Indeed, four times the product of those two magnitudes minus the square of the mixed coefficient equals -a^2*p(lambda). This condition holds uniformly, using only rational bounds:

\[ p(\lambda)<\overline p(\lambda) :=\frac1{25}-\frac95\lambda+\frac12\lambda^2, \]
\[ \overline p(1/44)=-\frac{63}{96800}<0, \qquad\overline p(3)=-\frac{43}{50}<0. \]

The polynomial pbar is convex, so it is negative throughout the interval between those two endpoints. Every mode quadratic is therefore strictly negative unless its two coordinates vanish. Consequently

\[ \boxed{\dot{\mathcal W}\le0,\qquad \dot{\mathcal W}<0\quad\text{whenever }(q,S)\ne(0,0).} \]

This is a global consequence of the same complete positive-loss law throughout the admitted ratio domain. It does not freeze the sine term, linearize the phase field or assume the donor remains in its original winding sector. The exact initial condition S(0)=0 gives, for every admitted donor/intermediary form,

\[ \mathcal W(0)=\frac45F+V_5. \]

At the specified maintained two-twist target, uniform form and exact sine balance give q=S=0, while V=2V_5. Thus

\[ \mathcal W_{\rm target}=2V_5,\qquad \mathcal W_{\rm target}-\mathcal W(0)=V_5-\frac45F. \]

Whenever this last margin is positive, convergence is impossible: W is continuous and invariant under common form and phase origins, so convergence to the declared target modulo those origins would require convergence to a larger W value, contradicting its nonincrease. This sufficient criterion keeps F from the actual preparation; it does not require an artificial cutoff in a reader applying the theorem.

For the whole declared research class F<=4, the margin satisfies

\[ V_5-\frac45F\ge V_5-\frac{16}{5}>\frac14>0. \]

The last inequality follows from sqrt(5)<56/25, whose square is strictly greater than five. Therefore every preparation in the six-coordinate class with F<=4 is excluded from convergence to the specified maintained two-twist target for every admitted ratio 0<w/e<3/2. Neither the margin nor its strict positive lower bound depends on that ratio: the mixed term vanishes at both endpoints. The argument does not select a preferred ratio or imply formation outside this sufficient domain.

In particular no such preparation can enter a recovery basin whose valid full-state theorem guarantees that convergence under this unchanged law. This is stronger than the earlier profile-by-profile loss checks for the stated maintained target. It does not assert that the trajectory can never visit the larger joint acute winding region: the cross term and nonuniform form need not vanish at a transient visit. Nor does it exclude receiver-only winding if the donor identity is lost. The action bound above retains its separate necessary condition for acute-region entry and must not be relabeled as a predicted entry time.

Constitutive ratio and constant clock changes are different operations

Changing w/e changes the relative contributions in the complete field. By contrast, for a constant kappa>0, set t'=kappa*t and keep the state coordinates, graph, held capacities, K and beta fixed. The same state curve in the new clock satisfies

\[ \frac{dx}{dt'}=-e'Kq+a'KS,\qquad \frac{d\theta}{dt'}=b'Kq,\qquad (e',w',a',b')=\frac1\kappa(e,w,a,b). \]

Both evolution rows change. Consequently r'=r, h'=h, and the state function W is unchanged, with

\[ \frac{d\mathcal W}{dt'}=\frac1\kappa \frac{d\mathcal W}{dt}\le0. \]

The maintained-target margin and exclusion are thus independent of this constant clock convention. Elapsed times and the phase-action lower bound above transform by T'=kappa*T, since e'/b'^2=kappa*e/b^2. The default numerical statement T>240 belongs to its stated clock, not to every rescaling of it. This proves neither a preferred physical clock nor covariance under state-dependent or time-dependent clock changes.

The implementation's RelationalExchangeModel normalizes the supplied EPI and phase weights once and stores finite effective coefficients. Its formation reader uses those stored values, including their exact represented ratio. Commonly scaling raw constructor weights therefore leaves the ideal normalized coefficient pair unchanged; finite materialization is still governed by the shared admission contract. It is not the clock change just derived. The arbitrary positive coefficients in that derivation express the whole-field time scale outside the normalized coefficient convention, without introducing a new runtime parameter. Using another time unit also requires transforming the integration step, horizons and all reported rates consistently.
