Physical premise (IDWT): Physical spacetime has infinitely many ordinary spatial dimensions plus time. Matter occupies up to ten spatial dimensions; all remaining spatial directions are unbound for every particle. Depth counts a pattern's bound spatial involvement within that space. “Observed” and “unobserved” describe an observer's access, not different kinds of dimension. Older projective and nested-geometry calculations below retain their additional hypotheses; they do not establish a separate physical manifold or compactified direction. See spatial meaning and mathematical scope.

26. Direct projection of the current V2 scalar quartic into a two-electron channel
The present V2 mass interaction is not the historical coordinate kernel. The current action-level scalar vertex is
Therefore the first honest test must begin here.
26.1 Two localized electron-sector contributions
Write the depth-six field locally as two localized contributions,
Then
Define
and the coherent interference scalar
Then
The quartic expands exactly as
Subtracting the two isolated self-energies leaves the two-packet interaction density
This is the first direct result from the current V2 action.
26.2 Incoherent/separated limit
When the packets overlap in density but carry negligible coherent scalar interference,
the cross term reduces to
For a non-derivative interaction, the interaction contribution to the Hamiltonian density is
Thus the sign of the physical two-electron scalar interaction is controlled by the sign of the projected coefficient together with the signs of the scalar bilinears .
The current V2 files do not independently fix the sign of as a two-body scattering coefficient. The mass theorem fixes only
as the positive observed rest-frequency scale after profile and spinor contractions. Therefore one cannot infer the sign of alone from without also fixing the conventions/signs of and .
This means the current scalar quartic does not yet predict whether the direct full-depth -- scalar channel is attractive or repulsive.
26.3 Support of the direct scalar channel
The current scalar vertex is algebraic and local. In the coordinate representation its kernel contains
and, on the occupied mode ray, the phase-ray delta used by the mass theorem.
Therefore its strict two-particle cross interaction is supported where the two depth-six field contributions overlap on the same point. At leading order it does not provide a long-range force that gradually pulls an unobserved impact parameter toward zero.
This is decisive for the beam-correlation idea:
A steering or capture mechanism requires at least one of:
- a finite-width/nonlocal scalar kernel;
- a derivative/tensor interaction carrying information away from the diagonal;
- a gauge/connection-mediated force acting before full contact;
- the historical coordinate-space quadratic kernel, if it can be re-derived consistently from the current master action.
26.4 Coherent interference terms
The terms show that the scalar quartic is not merely density-density contact when two coherent pieces of the one master field overlap. The interaction contains
and
These terms are sensitive to relative spinor phase and scalar polarization. They are therefore a natural place for polarization-dependent full-contact structure.
However, they still have the same local support as the underlying order-zero vertex. They change what happens at overlap, not the pre-contact unobserved-impact trajectory.
