#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ PROVENANCE: SURROGATE Computation 186 -- The Cauchy slice is a slab with a matched thickness, and the missing power of mass is that thickness ========================================================================================= WHAT THIS DOES. comp 185 reduced the W4 register item to a single residue, the slice-wise CAR limit, and did not supply it. This file supplies the construction and the scaling condition it needs, and measures both, on the i.i.d. surrogate this book already uses for A2 and A3. THE OBSTRUCTION, STATED EXACTLY. sec:spin-statistics-structural asks that the substrate relations {c_a, c_b^dagger} = delta_ab converge "on a Cauchy slice" to the equal-time continuum CAR with delta^(3)(x-y), and says outright: "The slice matters and the construction here does not supply it." The reason it does not is sharper than a gap in rigour. A Cauchy slice Sigma is a THREE-dimensional subset of the four-dimensional M, hence of measure zero, while rho_n(D_n) is a FINITE point set. So rho_n^{-1}(Sigma) is EMPTY with probability one, measured in part 1 and true at every size. "Pose the relations on a Cauchy slice" therefore cannot mean "restrict to the properties realised on Sigma", because there are none. THE BOOK'S OWN DIAGNOSIS POINTS AT THE FIX. The same passage records what went wrong in an earlier version: it "wrote delta^(4)(x-y), summing over sites realised into the four-dimensional M rather than into a slice", which is "dimensionally wrong by one power of mass". THAT MISSING POWER OF MASS IS A THICKNESS. Take the slab S_n(t) = { a in D_n : |tau(rho_n(a)) - t| <= h_n/2 }, tau the sublimation-derived time function. Its site density PER UNIT 3-VOLUME on Sigma is nu_n = lambda_n h_n = h_n / a_n^4, carrying [mass]^3 where the 4-density lambda_n carries [mass]^4. Smearing with nu_n^{-1/2} then gives {psi_n(f), psi_n(g)^dagger} = nu_n^{-1} sum_{a in S_n} (rho_n(a)) -> integral_Sigma d^3x, which is the distributional delta^(3) the book asks for. The slab thickness supplies exactly the one power of mass that was missing, and nothing else has to change. TWO CONDITIONS, AND EACH KILLS ONE ERROR TERM. Part 3 separates them and measures both: h_n -> 0 kills the BIAS, which is O(h^2): a slab that never shrinks returns the slab average and not the value on the slice lambda_n h_n -> oo kills the FLUCTUATION, which is O((lambda_n h_n)^{-1/2}): this is the CLT rate, and it is the Berry-Esseen rate the book says the convergence should match Both hold on a WIDE window, a_n^4 << h_n << 1, so the construction is not a knife edge. AND THE TWO TERMS PICK OUT A PREFERRED THICKNESS. Balancing h^2 against (lambda h)^{-1/2} gives h_n ~ lambda_n^{-1/5} = a_n^{4/5}, total error ~ lambda_n^{-2/5} = a_n^{8/5}. Measured in part 4: the RMS error over slab thicknesses has its minimum at h = 0.12 against the predicted scaling 0.076 at that size, agreeing to a constant of order one, and the convergence exponent in lambda comes out -0.36 against the predicted -0.40. Note that a_n^{4/5} >> a_n: THE OPTIMAL SLAB IS THICKER THAN THE SITE SPACING, so it contains a diverging number of sites in the time direction too, a_n^{-1/5} of them. WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO, and it is the same boundary every other matched-scaling result in this book sits behind. This is the I.I.D. SURROGATE, the same standing as A2's verification and A3's corroboration (Computations 70, 83). For the emergence-determined rho_n the equidistribution that part 3 leans on is exactly A3, which P3's maximum-entropy sublimation supplies rather than this file. So the item is NOT closed here unilaterally: it is reduced to the typicality condition the Mosco chain already carries, and it needs the sublimation-derived time function tau that P3 supplies. Whether the register may then call it closed is a question about A3's reach, not about this construction.

This supplies the construction it was missing, and the construction is forced by a count the book had already made. A Cauchy slice is three-dimensional inside a four-dimensional M and the realised cloud is finite, so no property is realised ON the slice: the preimage is empty at every size. 'Pose the relations slice-wise' therefore cannot mean restricting to sites on Sigma. The book's own diagnosis of the earlier delta^(4) error says what it does mean: that error was 'dimensionally wrong by one power of mass', and THE MISSING POWER IS A THICKNESS. A slab of 4-thickness h_n has site density nu_n = lambda_n h_n per unit 3-volume, which carries [mass]^3, and smearing with nu_n^{-1/2} lands on the slice integral, which is the distributional delta^(3). The error then splits in two and each condition kills one term. h_n -> 0 kills a bias measured here as O(h^2) against its predicted coefficient; lambda_n h_n -> oo kills a fluctuation measured as O(nu^{-1/2}), which is the CLT rate and therefore the Berry-Esseen rate the book says the convergence should match. Thinning the slab helps one and hurts the other, so these are two conditions and not one stated twice, and both hold on the wide window a_n^4 << h_n << 1. Balancing them picks out h_n ~ a_n^{4/5} with total error a_n^{8/5}: the optimal slab is THICKER than the site spacing and holds a_n^{-1/5} sites across its thickness. The measured RMS minimum sits within a factor of order one of the predicted scaling and the convergence exponent at -0.36 against -0.40, both reported rather than tuned. The tamper test that matters is the slab that never shrinks: it converges perfectly well, to the slab average instead of the slice value, so the measurement distinguishes a slice from a slab rather than detecting noise. This is the i.i.d. surrogate, the standing of A2's verification and A3's corroboration. For the emergence-determined realisation the equidistribution this leans on IS A3, supplied by P3 rather than here, and the construction needs P3's time function besides.
