1760 — Deleting the Companion Measurement Leaves a Rank-One Filtered Extension

Declared deletion

Entry 1759 uses two first-order scalar observations. Write

$$s=q_x(S), \qquad d=i(R_{01}-R_{10}).$$

The companion and diagonal measurements give

$$\begin{pmatrix} s\\s+d \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1&0\\ 1&1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}s\\d\end{pmatrix}.$$

This observation matrix has determinant one, so the complete packet separates finite calibration transport from the supported curvature jet.

Apply the literal labelled deletion map that removes the companion real-superposition measurement. The surviving observation is

$$\boxed{s+d.}$$

Its kernel is

$$\boxed{ \mathbb Q\langle(1,-1)\rangle. }$$

Indeed,

$$(s,d)\longmapsto(s+\lambda,d-\lambda)$$

leaves every surviving first-order scalar unchanged.

Narrow result

After companion deletion, the finite calibration term and supported residue jet no longer split canonically. They form a rank-one filtered extension. This is not an artifact of coordinates: it is the kernel of the declared source-label deletion map.

The scope is conditional. No frozen cosmological source has yet been shown to enforce this particular measurement deletion. Therefore:

• extension under the declared deletion: established;
• physical occurrence of the deletion: open;
• permission to add a replacement scalar: absent;
• new carrier stratum: unsupported.

Next falsifier

Classify source symmetries of a rank-two measurement packet. Determine whether any invariant/anti-invariant projection deletes the companion while retaining the diagonal family. Only such a source-derived projection would promote the conditional extension to a physical coefficient class.
