Complete realization theorem

Ledger 1287 assigns every selector (c) the normal terminal kernel

$$K_c=\operatorname{Core}_G(\operatorname{Stab}_R(c)).$$

Conversely, every normal subgroup (K\triangleleft G) is realized exactly by the quotient-label selector

$$c_K:G\longrightarrow G/K,\qquad g\longmapsto gK.$$

Its right stabilizer is precisely (K), so (K_{c_K}=K). Consequently the selector terminal kernels are exactly the normal-subgroup lattice, and

$$K\longmapsto c_K\longmapsto K_{c_K}$$

is the identity.

Arithmetic corollary

Every algebraic finite-surjection spectrum (U(K)) from Ledgers 1281--1282 is coefficient-realizable by the selector (c_K). There is no missing coefficient selector in the abstract theory; the remaining question is whether the sector supplies that selector and the required Betti map.

Exact nonabelian control

For (S_3), exhaustive enumeration finds six subgroups and exactly three normal subgroups, of orders (1,3,6). Their quotient-label selectors have stabilizers and terminal kernels of precisely those same orders.

Scope and verification

Replacing a frozen selector by (c_K) changes the observable. Algebraic realizability does not authorize a physical readout, relative-chain pushforward, boundary square, or pairing.
