1563 — The Lower Bulk Grades Split Endpoint and Total-Energy Support
Question
Does the second-grade support theorem for the finite-time bulk--bulk loop,
continue unchanged at the first and zeroth normal grades?
Frozen machinery
The ordered bulk--bulk integrand and branch conventions are those already verified in Entry 1551. For every monomial
the lower-endpoint primitive is generated by
Its telescoping identity was independently checked for all source powers through order seven before insertion into the nested integral. No coefficient was fitted.
The nested integral was separated into three labelled routes:
- the lower endpoint of the combined outer primitive;
- the product of the inner and outer lower primitives;
- the inner lower primitive multiplied by the outer observation-endpoint primitive.
Potential zero-frequency logarithms were retained and combined before being tested for cancellation.
Result
The lower-endpoint routes have support
The observation-endpoint route is absent at grade two, but at grades one and zero it carries
In the labelled primitive basis there are eight classes per sign at grade one and sixteen per sign at grade zero. These are coefficient-valued observation-endpoint terms: evaluating or reducing the outer primitive is a separate operation and must not be conflated with the lower-endpoint incidence carrier.
All candidate zero-frequency logarithmic classes cancel:
The grade-two output reproduces Entry 1551 coefficient by coefficient at the frozen sample point, providing a regression check on the recurrence.
Narrow conclusion
The support theorem at second normal order does not extend verbatim to the lower grades. The new total-energy frequencies arise from a pre-existing boundary of the ordered integral—the observation endpoint—not from a new Carrier wall.
This establishes a support decomposition, not yet a closed-form coefficient reduction or a comparison with every term printed in Eq. (19). The next test is to reduce the observation-endpoint primitive classes and combine them with the mixed and surface sectors at the same grades.
