1700 — The Deck-Even Covariance Rees Grade Descends Functorially under Cut

Frontier

Entry 1699 keeps the conditioning and cosmological time-root covers distinct. Without identifying them, test whether the deck-even covariance Rees grade is compatible with the shared labelled Cut calculus.

Congruence transport

Let

$$\Xi=u\otimes u$$

be Entry 1698's exceptional tensor. For any labelled linear Cut map T, the resolved normal transports as

$$u\longmapsto Tu.$$

Hence

$$\boxed{ \Xi\longmapsto T\Xi T^T =\operatorname{Sym}^2(Tu). }$$

For composable Cut maps T,S,

$$S(T\Xi T^T)S^T =(ST)\Xi(ST)^T.$$

Thus nested Cut transport is strictly functorial. Rank one, positive semidefiniteness, and deck invariance are preserved.

Narrow result

$$\boxed{ \text{the even covariance Rees grade is a functorial coefficient object for the existing labelled Cut carrier.} }$$

No new carrier operation or higher coherence cell is required. This is an internal covariance-sector theorem; Entry 1675's prohibition remains in force, so it does not construct a mixed energy--covariance comparison.

Next falsifier

Test the odd resolved-normal line itself under Cut transport. Determine whether occurrence-compatible sign choices propagate one global deck sign on connected trees, as in the cosmological time-root test, while keeping the two local systems formally distinct.
