Question

How could local reflection-positive data descend when the Euclidean system carries a gerbe?

What the note explains

The proposed reflected double needs a positive contraction. The gerbe itself need not first be erased by a global trivialization.

Example

Positive diagonal entries do not guarantee positivity of a coupled matrix: the matrix with diagonal 1 and off-diagonal 2 has eigenvalues 3 and −1. This illustrates why separate sector positivity cannot replace the proposed full block-positivity condition.

What the approach gains

The proposal keeps interface and mixed-sector data visible during reconstruction. It identifies the compatibility conditions that would be lost by checking each bulk sector in isolation.

Reading route

Read the status boundary, reflection-lift data, and proposed block kernel. Treat the axiom lists as a development agenda. The next mathematical task is positive seam modules and reflected-double neutralization.

Scope and limits

Positive seam modules remain undeveloped; the Bałaban RG bridge is reserved. There is no completed gerbe-valued OS theorem, Euclidean realization, or established comparison with the Lorentzian theory.
