2218 — The Raw Gaussian Score Does Not Isolate the Contact Packet

Contamination audit

For any labelled edge $e$, the score derivative acts on every erased subset containing that edge. In the three-edge Boolean family there are four such subsets.

The hidden contact channel contains only the two routes isolated in Entry 2174. Therefore the unprojected mixed correlator generally contains other connected and partially deleted contributions:

$$\boxed{ \langle O S_{K_e}\rangle_c \neq \text{contact packet alone}. }$$

Entry 2216 correctly computes the contact packet's contribution to the score response, but it must not be read as saying that one raw higher correlator contains no background.

Required operation

A physical extraction needs the independently frozen contact-normal channel of Entries 2158–2159 and 2174, or an equivalent source-derived residue. No projector may be fitted from the desired value $-8C_e$.
