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.

51. Two individual locks reduce to one exact relative restoring mode

Take a supplied positive quadratic functional on abstract three-component vectors and orientation matrices, with κ>0\kappa>0:

V=κ2(∥h1−Q1Tu1∥2+∥h2−Q2Tu2∥2). V=\frac\kappa2\left(\|h_1-Q_1^Tu_1\|^2+\|h_2-Q_2^Tu_2\|^2\right).

Set U=(u1+u2)/2U=(u_1+u_2)/2, u=u1−u2u=u_1-u_2, H=(h1+h2)/2H=(h_1+h_2)/2 and h=h1−h2h=h_1-h_2. Minimizing over HH at U=0U=0 gives the exact algebraic reduction

Vrel=κ4∥h−Q1T+Q2T2u∥2. \boxed{ V_{\rm rel}=\frac\kappa4\left\| h-\frac{Q_1^T+Q_2^T}{2}u \right\|^2. }

This identity concerns the stated quadratic functional. Identifying its abstract vectors with electron positions would impose an additional coordinate-lock hypothesis, which is not part of the interaction model. No scattering force, trajectory correlation or physical restoring coefficient follows from completing this square.
