Finite Surjections Form a Resonance-Enriched Coefficient Category

Sequence claim receipt: seqclaim-687b1c25b248f7e624fe8f80.

Sequence claim idempotency key: grothendieck-ledger-resonance-enriched-surjection-category.

Arrow cost and composition

Assign every finite-group surjection (\phi:G\twoheadrightarrow H) the squarefree resonance cost

$$\rho(\phi)=R_G(\ker\phi).$$

Then

$$\rho(\operatorname{id})=1, \qquad \boxed{\rho(\psi\phi)= \operatorname{lcm}(\rho(\phi),\rho(\psi)).}$$

Thus finite surjections are strictly enriched in the join-semilattice of squarefree positive integers under divisibility and least common multiple. Equivalently, their compatible-index systems obey

$$U(\psi\phi)=U(\phi)\cap U(\psi).$$

Selector objects

A selector (c) carries object cost (R(K_c)). Ledger 1299 becomes the action law

$$R(K_{\phi^*c})= \operatorname{lcm}(\rho(\phi),R(K_c)).$$

This packages the selector terminal kernels, pullback, strict composition, and power--Mackey sieve into one coefficient correspondence system.

Exact control

For (C_{60}\to C_{30}\to C_6), the arrow costs are (2) and (5), and the composite cost is (10). Through index 60 the spectra have sizes (30,48,24), with the composite exactly their intersection; identity laws pass as well.

Missing Betti half

No covariant relative-chain functor, boundary-compatible specialization, or physical pairing has been constructed. This is therefore the complete coefficient half of the proposed Mackey/correspondence object, not the paired physical object.
