The Positive Ward-Spectral Functional Needs a Source Clock

The combined functional

$$F_\alpha(Q,D)=\operatorname{Tr}Q^2+\alpha\operatorname{Tr}D^2$$

detects WP834's neutral completion at one fixed common spectral scale. The base and completed spectral squares are 9 and 22.

Operator irreducibility survives $D\mapsto\lambda D$. The base at unit scale and neutral completion at $3/\sqrt{22}$ have identical score $14+9\alpha$ for every $\alpha>0$. The positive spectral penalty also has an unattained zero-scale infimum on the irreducible positive-scale domain.

Adding an inverse-spectral term produces a stationary scale only through

$$\lambda^4=\frac{37\beta}{352\alpha}.$$

The new coefficient ratio supplies the missing clock rather than deriving it.

Consequence

Positivity repairs the neutral kernel only after a charged-neutral metric and common spectral clock have already been fixed. No admitted instrument measures both pieces in one calibrated relative metric. The candidate remains a conditional comparison functional and spectral rigidifier, not a complete portal selector.

Claim boundary

This result audits the displayed finite positive functionals. It does not exclude a source action that independently derives the relative metric, spectral clock, and a unique global minimizer over the completed physical domain.
