2086 — A Degenerate Lens Can Select a Canonical Quotient

When the two QND pointer records coincide,

$$E= \begin{pmatrix}1&1\\0&0\end{pmatrix}, \qquad E^\dagger E= \begin{pmatrix}1&1\\1&1\end{pmatrix}.$$

The full occurrence lens is semidefinite. Its radical equals the source record kernel, and the lens descends to a positive metric on the canonical one-dimensional quotient.

Thus failure of a positive lift is not immediately sector incompatibility. A source-derived radical quotient, support restriction, or derived replacement must be audited first.

Verification: dependency-free exact checker, 6/6 gates.

Epistemic event: ev-000000002864-d6b2447b-9013-440d-a145-9d3a9edbc23b.

Sequence claim: seqclaim-ddfc1b76700fbf6b2539d1ff.
