1083 — The Physical Hexagon Activates Only After Double Leray Continuation
Problem
Entry 1082 showed that the six ordered residue terms of the three-site integrand generate the nonzero fundamental class of the physical normal link
The remaining question was whether the Bunch--Davies integration chain physically selects this class.
Two notions of restriction must be kept separate:
- ordinary intersection with the literal positive Cayley--Menger chain;
- Leray specialization of its negative-imaginary boundary value after analytic continuation to a factorization sheet.
Literal positive-chain restriction
The frozen three-cut certificate writes the positive chain as
with the positive Cayley--Menger square-root sheet and all required signed minor inequalities. On this chain,
For physical , neither the interior nor the boundary of the chain meets the marked cut union. Therefore the six literal incidence pairings are
This vanishing is an ordinary-support statement. It does not determine the continued boundary value.
Boundary-value Leray specialization
Entry 180 froze the relevant primary-source data:
- arXiv:2305.19686v2, equations (4.18)--(4.20), puts every external and internal energy in the negative-imaginary tube;
- arXiv:2402.06558 fixes the oriented positive Cayley--Menger chain and its signed-minor boundary;
- arXiv:2408.16386v2 fixes the labelled polar coordinates and unit residue Jacobians.
The negative-imaginary tube is convex. Hence the continued positive Cayley--Menger chain has a unique local Leray germ at every generic transverse marked pole. Its sheet, orientation, Jacobian, and multiplicity are fixed, and the multiplicity is one.
For a compatible pair in equation (51), applying this construction successively gives a unique double-Leray germ. Antisymmetry under reversing the two residue normals is exactly the sign used in Entry 1082. Consequently the six continued germs have oriented coefficients
They therefore represent the nonzero generator
where the overall sign depends only on the already frozen global orientation convention.
Narrow theorem
Thus the physical hexagon is activated as analytic-continuation/nearby-cycle data, not as a boundary component of the starting real chamber.
This is the precise mechanism that was unavailable for the two-site spurious corner: here both the support complex and the continued residue germ are source-defined.
Architectural consequence
No new carrier datum is required. The result uses
This is direct evidence for H2's shared support-sensitive calculus with a cosmological relative-chain coefficient object.
Scope boundary
The theorem is local on generic transverse factorization patches. It does not assert an additional independent integrated period, nor determine global monodromy when the six strata meet the elliptic or algebraic discriminants.
Next falsifier
Transport the double-Leray generator around the cyclic atlas and toward the total-energy degeneration. Test whether it maps to an existing Cut flag/Tate nearby-cycle class or leaves a residual extension into the elliptic coefficient block. This comparison must retain occurrence labels and cannot be inferred from the rank-one result alone.
