2114 — A Readout Quotient Can Erase a Genuine Selection

Two distinct source-selected lenses can have the same physical readout:

$$q(s_0)=q(s_1), \qquad s_0\ne s_1.$$

A finite two-lens model verifies that no left inverse of the common readout can recover both selectors. Hence source selection, readout descent, and reconstruction are three different claims.

The cosmological state-line phase supplies the physical typing: an augmented transverse protocol can distinguish the phase direction, while the standard equal-time $|\Psi|^2$ adapter erases it.

Therefore the sector operations form an ordered typed graph rather than a freely reorderable pipeline.

• research/nima/checkers/check_readout_erases_selection.py

Verification: 2/2 finite checks pass.
