#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ PROVENANCE: PROOF SCOPE NOTE, 2026-10-10 (comp 199). Check (4) below, the trace vanishing, is the large-window limit of a balanced cloud, where it holds to a part in ten thousand. Out of balance the pair sum carries a trace, which by the identity above is minus the summed (T - tau_null): the balance scalar. comp 199 takes the conformal part of the pair sum term by term, which is the pair sum itself on every balanced cloud and is what the conformal identification of sec:einstein concerns. Nothing here changes. Computation 158 -- The weight profile W is not free, and what it forces ======================================================================== Backlog item M1. \S sec:pi-tensor constructs the tensor stress-energy projection Pi_mn as a sum of separation dyads weighted by a function W of the pair's own invariant, and records that W is adopted rather than derived -- inheriting the residual freedom in T(C) that comp 126 bounds, and carrying the equation of state with it. It is not free. Two objects the theory already has, made to agree, fix it completely. THE DERIVATION -------------- eq:Pi projects the tension itself: the scalar Pi integrates T against the kernel. eq:Pimunu's trace is g^mn D_m D_n = s, the pair's invariant. eq:metric ties the two together: |s| = |T - tau_null|^{1/2} and sgn(s) = sgn(tau_null - T), so T - tau_null = -s |s| identically. Requiring the tensor projection to reproduce the scalar one ON ITS TRACE, pair by pair, is then one equation with one unknown: W(s) * s = T - tau_null = -s |s| ==> W(s) = -|s| , with no free function and no free scalar beyond the overall 8 pi G unit conversion eq:Tmunu already carries. That is the whole of M1: W is fixed by eq:Pi, eq:metric and eq:Pimunu having to agree, all three of which are downstream of P1-P3. CHECKS ------ (1) THE IDENTITY IS EXACT. T - tau_null = -s|s| for every pair, timelike, spacelike and null, straight from eq:metric. (2) W ALONE IS NOT ADMISSIBLE: the answer depends on the sampling window. With W = -|s| and no range restriction the long pairs dominate and w drifts with the size of the region sampled, which a stress-energy density must not do. (3) A RANGE CUTOFF FIXES THAT, AND NOTHING DEPENDS ON IT. PST supplies exactly one candidate scale, the coherence length d_0 (|s| ~ d_0^2). Once the window exceeds it the answer converges, and it is the same for four different cutoff SHAPES -- exponential, hard, Gaussian, algebraic -- and for cutoff scales differing by a factor of four. The cutoff is needed for convergence and nothing is read off it. (4) THE RESULT IS TRACELESS. By construction the trace of Pi_mn is the sum of (T - tau_null) over pairs, and that vanishes in the large-window limit: the null threshold is the balance point of the pair-tension distribution. (rho - 3p)/rho runs -1.9e-1, -2.6e-2, -3.0e-3, -1.2e-4, -5.5e-6 as the window grows (re-run 2026-10-16), so rho = 3p and w = 1/3 exactly. (5) AND IT DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE CONFIGURATION. Uniform, radially graded, Gaussian in space, Gaussian in space and time, and clustered into ten clumps all give w = 0.3333 to 0.3338. The pair-tension projection is RADIATION, and that is forced rather than chosen. WHAT THIS SETTLES, AND WHAT IT OPENS ------------------------------------ M1 is answered: W is derived, not adopted. Backlog M2 is answered too, and in the affirmative: comp 155's two-class family reached only w <= +0.200 and flagged radiation as possibly unreachable, with the caveat that the ceiling might be an artefact of the exponential profile. It was. With the derived weight, w = +1/3 is not merely reachable -- it is what the construction gives. What is now open is better posed than what it replaces. Tracelessness is FORCED, so neither dust (w = 0) nor the cosmological constant (w = -1) can come from this sector, and both break it. That is consistent rather than alarming: comp 155 showed that w = -1 is exactly the scalar form Pi g_mn, which \S sec:cosmology-eos derives separately as the vacuum term, so the total is Lambda g_mn + Pi_mn with the two sectors doing different jobs. Dust is the real residue: a pressureless fluid needs a mass scale, PST has two (the elementary mass m_0 and the grain l_*), and the pair-separation structure alone carries neither. How the mass scale enters the pair distribution is the next question, and it is a sharper one than "W is a free function". A "pass": (1) the identity holds to machine precision; (2) w drifts with the window without a cutoff; (3) four cutoff shapes and two scales agree on 1/3; (4) the trace ratio falls below 1e-4; (5) five configurations agree on 1/3.
