The homogeneous current action preserves an entire spatial eigenspace. Its stability still requires perturbations outside that eigenspace. The calculation below uses actual spatial fields and retains the contribution of omitted angular modes to the positive square.

At depth two, a differential-form parent now produces the same component carrier as the spinor comparison. Its tangent polarization is an actual spatial vector, with scalar and top-form companions retained. This does not establish the complete observed particle spin assignments or a photon.

A bosonic depth-two parent

On the stated physical round two-sphere, let Df=d+δD_{\mathrm f}=d+\delta act on all differential forms, and let Γ=(−1)form degree\Gamma=(-1)^{\text{form degree}}. Their anticommutation gives

Bf=Df+Γ2R,Bf2=ΔH+14R2.(1) \boxed{ B_{\mathrm f}=D_{\mathrm f}+\frac{\Gamma}{2R},\qquad B_{\mathrm f}^2=\Delta_{\mathrm H}+\frac1{4R^2}. } \tag{1}

For a scalar harmonic YnY_n, write L=n(n+1)/R2L=n(n+1)/R^2, E=dYn/LE=dY_n/\sqrt L, M=∗dYn/LM=*dY_n/\sqrt L, and T=∗YnT=*Y_n. The ordered form basis (Yn,E,M,T)(Y_n,E,M,T) has

Df=L(01001000000−100−10),Γ=diag⁡(1,−1,−1,1).(2) D_{\mathrm f}=\sqrt L \begin{pmatrix} 0&1&0&0\\1&0&0&0\\0&0&0&-1\\0&0&-1&0 \end{pmatrix},\qquad \Gamma=\operatorname{diag}(1,-1,-1,1). \tag{2}

The positive eigenvalue (n+1/2)/R(n+1/2)/R has two families,

uE=aYn+bE,uM=aT−bM,a2=n+12n+1,b2=n2n+1.(3) u_E=aY_n+bE,\qquad u_M=aT-bM,\qquad a^2=\frac{n+1}{2n+1},\quad b^2=\frac n{2n+1}. \tag{3}

Insert this actual spatial BfB_{\mathrm f} into

T2=(cBf−c/(2R)0GcBf+c/(2R)),H=(0T2†T20).(4) T_2=\begin{pmatrix} cB_{\mathrm f}-c/(2R)&0\\G&cB_{\mathrm f}+c/(2R) \end{pmatrix},\qquad H=\begin{pmatrix}0&T_2^\dagger\\T_2&0\end{pmatrix}. \tag{4}

On (3), its two diagonal entries are exactly cn/Rcn/R and c(n+1)/Rc(n+1)/R. The same finite mass carrier therefore has a form realization. The current channel couples the first upper component to the second lower component; reversing that connection changes the law.

For a real standing YnY_n, the tangent parts EE and MM are orthogonal and equally long at each nonzero point. Their complex relative phase gives linear, circular or elliptical tangent motion. The full forms transform under ordinary spatial rotations and return after a complete turn. A harmonic index is not, by itself, the observed spin of a particle. The maintained Higgs index is a spectral control; this mixed-form construction does not identify the Higgs with a vector.

At n=0n=0, the scalar and top-form modes have no nonzero exact or coexact one-form companion. They do not supply a polarized photon zero. The photon remains a separate massless question.

The positive Hessian retains the full derivative

At a stationary field F[ϕ]=λϕF[\phi]=\lambda\phi, let L=DF[ϕ]L=DF[\phi] be the real self-adjoint derivative. Homogeneity gives D2Fϕ(h,ϕ)=0D^2F_\phi(h,\phi)=0. Symmetry of the third variation of the generating functional then removes the extra term from the second variation of the positive potential:

12δ2∥F∥2[h,h]=∥Lh∥2.(5) \boxed{ \frac12\delta^2\|F\|^2[h,h]=\|Lh\|^2. } \tag{5}

The identity also has a directional proof that covers the nodal fields used here. The local nonlinear map N0=F−H0N_0=F-H_0 is globally Lipschitz for each fixed η>0\eta>0. Indeed, ∥K∥=1\|K\|=1, and its normalized current direction obeys ∥(K−kI)Ψ∥2/ρ≤1\|(K-kI)\Psi\|^2/\rho\le1. Equation (12) of the current construction gives the uniform local bound

∥DN0∥≤g(1+η+2/η).(5a) \|DN_0\|\le g(1+\eta+2/\eta). \tag{5a}

Continuity at zero extends the Lipschitz estimate along any straight field segment, including one that crosses the origin. If the background field is nonzero almost everywhere and hh lies in the domain of H0H_0, dominated convergence then gives F(ϕ+th)=F(ϕ)+tLh+oL2(t)F(\phi+th)=F(\phi)+tLh+o_{L^2}(t). The highest-weight zero sets have zero volume, so they satisfy this hypothesis. The generating functional has the directional expansion

E1(ϕ+th)=E1(ϕ)+2tRe⁡⟨F(ϕ),h⟩+t2Re⁡⟨Lh,h⟩+o(t2).(5b) E_1(\phi+th)=E_1(\phi) +2t\operatorname{Re}\langle F(\phi),h\rangle +t^2\operatorname{Re}\langle Lh,h\rangle+o(t^2). \tag{5b}

Homogeneity gives E1(ϕ+th)=Re⁡⟨ϕ+th,F(ϕ+th)⟩E_1(\phi+th)=\operatorname{Re}\langle\phi+th,F(\phi+th)\rangle. Subtracting tRe⁡⟨h,F(ϕ+th)⟩t\operatorname{Re}\langle h,F(\phi+th)\rangle from (5b) cancels its quadratic term. Consequently the remainder in FF, paired with ϕ\phi, is o(t2)o(t^2). At F(ϕ)=λϕF(\phi)=\lambda\phi, expanding ∥F(ϕ+th)∥2\|F(\phi+th)\|^2 now proves (5) directly.

This establishes the required directional quadratic form for the stated nodal backgrounds. It does not make the local map differentiable at the origin, prove a uniform Frechet Hessian on the full field space, or establish global nonlinear well-posedness.

For a normalized component ray, write v=(K−kI)ϕv=(K-kI)\phi. The local real current part is

Nh=2f′′vRe⁡(v†h),N2=2f′′∥v∥2N.(6) Nh=2f''v\operatorname{Re}(v^\dagger h),\qquad \boxed{N^2=2f''\|v\|^2N.} \tag{6}

The spatial normalized eigensection is included in the local direction in (6). Its pointwise norm has been divided out, so the component ∥v∥\|v\| is constant on the background.

Let PP be an orthogonal angular projection invariant under the base spatial operator A=H0+GK+CA=H_0+GK+C, and set NP=PNPN_P=PNP. Projecting the square of the full derivative gives the exact identity

PL2P=(AP+NP)2+2f′′∥v∥2NP−NP2⏟(QNP)∗(QNP) ≥0,Q=I−P.(7) \boxed{ PL^2P=(A_P+N_P)^2+ \underbrace{2f''\|v\|^2N_P-N_P^2}_{\displaystyle (QNP)^*(QNP)\ \ge0}, \qquad Q=I-P. } \tag{7}

Thus the omitted angular square is available without truncating the nonlinear source first. Its positivity does not mean it is negligible. Squaring AP+NPA_P+N_P alone would be a different calculation.

For a rotating positive-frequency background, the normal and conjugate perturbations combine into η\eta. Let Σ\Sigma be plus the identity on the normal part and minus the identity on its conjugate. The complete projected squared operator K=PL2P\mathcal K=PL^2P gives

η¨−2iωΣη˙+(K−ω2I)η=0.(8) \ddot\eta-2i\omega\Sigma\dot\eta+ (\mathcal K-\omega^2I)\eta=0. \tag{8}

For η∝e−iΩt\eta\propto e^{-i\Omega t}, the actual frequency pencil is K−(ΩI+ωΣ)2\mathcal K-(\Omega I+\omega\Sigma)^2. Positivity of K\mathcal K alone is insufficient to infer stability of (8). The numerical test retains the gyroscopic term and solves this pencil.

Actual spinor angular channels at every depth

For b=(d−1)/2b=(d-1)/2, choose z=x1+ix2z=x_1+ix_2, q=∣z∣2q=|z|^2, and a constant spinor with Γuζ=0\Gamma_u\zeta=0, u=e1+ie2u=e_1+ie_2. Convenient raw fields are

Fl=zmqlζ,Gl=zm+1qlΓxΓuˉζ.(9) F_l=z^m q^l\zeta,\qquad G_l=z^{m+1}q^l\Gamma_x\Gamma_{\bar u}\zeta. \tag{9}

The actual shifted spatial Dirac operator acts as

BFl=(m+b+2l)Fl−lGl−1,BGl=4(m+1+l)Fl−(m+b+2+2l)Gl.(10) \begin{aligned} BF_l&=(m+b+2l)F_l-lG_{l-1},\\ BG_l&=4(m+1+l)F_l-(m+b+2+2l)G_l. \end{aligned} \tag{10}

For m≥0m\ge0, the finite invariant span contains F0,…,FLF_0,\ldots,F_L and G0,…,GL−1G_0,\ldots,G_{L-1}. For m=−M<0m=-M<0, use FM,…,FM+LF_M,\ldots,F_{M+L} and GM−1,…,GM+L−1G_{M-1},\ldots,G_{M+L-1}. The latter expressions are regular fields: for example, z−MqM=zˉMz^{-M}q^M=\bar z^M. The coefficient that would leave the span at its lower end is zero in (10).

The probability-volume Gram entries are

⟨Fi,Fj⟩=b B(m+i+j+1,b),⟨Fi,Gj⟩=2b B(m+i+j+2,b),⟨Gi,Gj⟩=4b B(m+i+j+2,b).(11) \begin{aligned} \langle F_i,F_j\rangle&=b\,\mathrm B(m+i+j+1,b),\\ \langle F_i,G_j\rangle&=2b\,\mathrm B(m+i+j+2,b),\\ \langle G_i,G_j\rangle&=4b\,\mathrm B(m+i+j+2,b). \end{aligned} \tag{11}

The normal current projector sends FlF_l to itself and GlG_l to 2Fl+12F_{l+1}. The anomalous part pairs an azimuth mm with m′=2n−mm'=2n-m for a background znζz^n\zeta. The three corresponding cross entries are

b B(n+i+j+1,b),2b B(n+i+j+2,b),4b B(n+i+j+3,b).(12) b\,\mathrm B(n+i+j+1,b),\qquad 2b\,\mathrm B(n+i+j+2,b),\qquad 4b\,\mathrm B(n+i+j+3,b). \tag{12}

These are actual spatial inner products, not independent copies of a scalar mode. Orthogonalization uses exact high-precision Gram matrices. Stable evaluation uses Jacobi polynomials in a moving two-component frame inside the physical spinor bundle. It does not reduce the sphere's dimension or assert that the complete spinor rank is two.

A linear fast gap for the entire angular spectrum

The linear parent admits a bound independent of angular degree. First remove the bounded diagonal geometric shifts and write T0=xI+GJT_0=xI+GJ, for any real spatial eigenvalue xx. With ede_d the last coordinate vector,

T0†T0=A0−G2eded†,A0=(x2+G2)I+xG(J+J†).(13) T_0^\dagger T_0=A_0-G^2e_de_d^\dagger,\qquad A_0=(x^2+G^2)I+xG(J+J^\dagger). \tag{13}

The eigenvalues of the tridiagonal matrix A0A_0 are x2+G2+2xGcos⁡[rπ/(d+1)]x^2+G^2+2xG\cos[r\pi/(d+1)], for 1≤r≤d1\le r\le d. Their smallest value is at least G2sin⁡2[π/(d+1)]G^2\sin^2[\pi/(d+1)]: complete the square in ∣x∣−Gcos⁡[π/(d+1)]|x|-G\cos[\pi/(d+1)]. Rank-one interlacing in (13) then bounds the second-smallest singular value of T0T_0.

The actual diagonal geometric shift has norm c(d−1)/(2R)c(d-1)/(2R). Restoring it, and then the scalar current offset CC, gives

gap⁡linear,fast≥Gsin⁡ ⁣πd+1−c(d−1)2R−∣C∣.(14) \boxed{\operatorname{gap}_{\rm linear,fast}\ge G\sin\!\frac{\pi}{d+1}-\frac{c(d-1)}{2R}-|C|.} \tag{14}

When positive, (14) controls all component branches except the lowest signed pair at each angular eigenvalue. It covers the complete infinite angular spectrum of this linear parent, not just the numerical cutoff. The real current derivative NN still has to be included. Subtracting its norm 2∣f′′∣∥v∥22|f''|\|v\|^2 gives a crude further bound, which fails to prove a gap in some of the reviewed cases. Such a failed bound is not evidence that the physical spectrum has become unstable.

The current fixed point also gives a component stability criterion

At one fixed spatial eigenvalue, take the normalized real component eigenvector ϕ\phi, the bare positive frequency ϵ\epsilon, and A=H(G)+CA=H(G)+C. Let λ=ϵ+C>0\lambda=\epsilon+C>0. The current vector v=(K−kI)ϕv=(K-kI)\phi is orthogonal both to ϕ\phi and to its chiral partner. The current derivative therefore leaves both low component rays unchanged. Its real and imaginary blocks are

Lx=A+2f′′vvT,Ly=A.(15) L_x=A+2f''vv^T,\qquad L_y=A. \tag{15}

Assume the remaining bare component eigenvalues lie outside [−λ,λ][-\lambda,\lambda]. On that fast subspace the rank-one secular function is

D(z)=1+2f′′⟨v,(Af−z)−1v⟩,D′(z)=2f′′∥(Af−z)−1v∥2≤0.(16) D(z)=1+2f''\langle v,(A_f-z)^{-1}v\rangle,\qquad D'(z)=2f''\|(A_f-z)^{-1}v\|^2\le0. \tag{16}

There are no poles in the specified interval. The exact second Hellmann--Feynman derivative gives

ϵGG=−2⟨v,(Hf−ϵ)−1v⟩,D(λ)=1−f′′ϵGG.(17) \epsilon_{GG}=-2\langle v,(H_f-\epsilon)^{-1}v\rangle, \qquad \boxed{D(\lambda)=1-f''\epsilon_{GG}.} \tag{17}

The right-hand side is precisely the derivative of the scalar fixed-point equation G−f′(ϵG)=0G-f'(\epsilon_G)=0. If it is positive, monotonicity in (16) prevents a secular zero anywhere in the particle gap. No shifted fast component eigenvalue enters that interval.

The unchanged opposite partner has magnitude ϵ−C≥λ\epsilon-C\ge\lambda, because this current has C≤0C\le0. Thus the complete component rotating quadratic stiffness L2−λ2L^2-\lambda^2 is nonnegative under these conditions. Its positive kinetic term and skew gyroscopic term exclude an exponentially growing finite-component mode. A zero stiffness can still permit a neutral or secular perturbation; this is not a claim of strict asymptotic stability.

Every maintained index passes these conditions at the illustrative strengths gR/c=100gR/c=100 and 10001000, with an independent direct component eigensystem calculation. The result explains that part of the numerical stability without an additional fitted coefficient. It does not replace the spatial test: angularly varying perturbations can mix spatial eigenspaces through the local current direction.

The competing zero-current branch is unstable in the controls

The same current law also permits a branch with G=0G=0. In units c=R=1c=R=1, its component vector has equal upper and lower first entries, each 1/21/\sqrt2, and all other entries zero. Its current vanishes and its signed frequency is λ0=n−gη\lambda_0=n-g\eta. It is an exact standing branch of the fully varied positive action. Finding the near-saturated branch alone would not remove this competitor.

Its stability is decided by one exact two-component block. Set h=gηh=g\eta, M=g/ηM=g/\eta, a=n+1a=n+1, and ω0=n−h>0\omega_0=n-h>0. The real and imaginary derivatives on the second upper/lower component pair are

X=(−haa−h−M),Y=(−haa−h).(18) X=\begin{pmatrix}-h&a\\a&-h-M\end{pmatrix},\qquad Y=\begin{pmatrix}-h&a\\a&-h\end{pmatrix}. \tag{18}

Their full rotating perturbation equation is

x¨+2ω0y˙+(X2−ω02I)x=0,y¨−2ω0x˙+(Y2−ω02I)y=0.(19) \begin{aligned} \ddot x+2\omega_0\dot y+(X^2-\omega_0^2I)x&=0,\\ \ddot y-2\omega_0\dot x+(Y^2-\omega_0^2I)y&=0. \end{aligned} \tag{19}

There is an exact sufficient instability criterion:

gη≤n2,gη>2n+1n.(20) \boxed{g\eta\le\frac n2,\qquad \frac g\eta>\frac{2n+1}{n}.} \tag{20}

To see this, the smaller-magnitude eigenvalue of XX is −h+μ-h+\mu, where μ=a2+M2/4−M/2>0\mu=\sqrt{a^2+M^2/4}-M/2>0. The second inequality in (20) is equivalent to μ<n\mu<n; the first ensures −ω0<−h+μ<ω0-\omega_0<-h+\mu<\omega_0. The other eigenvalue of XX has magnitude larger than ω0\omega_0. Thus X2−ω02IX^2-\omega_0^2I has exactly one negative eigenvalue, while Y2−ω02IY^2-\omega_0^2I is positive definite.

The determinant of the complete real stiffness in (19) is negative. For a real growth exponent ss, the characteristic determinant det⁡(s2I+sG+K)\det(s^2I+s\mathcal G+\mathcal K) is therefore negative at zero and positive for sufficiently large positive ss. It has a positive real root. This establishes an exponentially growing mode with the gyroscopic matrix G\mathcal G included; it does not infer instability from a negative curvature alone.

All sixteen maintained index controls satisfy (20) at the illustrative common strength gR/c=100gR/c=100 and the same within-depth regularizer used for the near-saturated states. Direct high-precision solutions of the complete block (19) give growth rates from about 0.09 to 0.68 times the uncoupled branch frequency. The calculation applies equally to the actual form realization at depth two because the affected component block acts as the identity on its spatial form indices.

This distinguishes two branches of one specified action: the uncoupled branch is unstable in these controls, while the near-saturated branch passes the component criterion above. It does not prove attraction to that branch, select the occupied particle indices, or establish full spatial stability and geometric support.

What the numerical stability tests establish

The depth-two form calculation tests the maintained indices 76, 81 and 95, two complex polarization choices, azimuth shifts one and three, and three angular cutoffs. At gR/c=1000gR/c=1000, all 36 cases have growth rates indistinguishable from numerical zero in the tested frequency pencil. Independent finer quadrature agrees with the complete squared operator. All four form types are retained.

The spinor calculation uses the same current law at depths two, three, four, five, six and ten, with the maintained indices and three axial cutoffs. Its illustration uses gR/c=100gR/c=100 to resolve the small frequencies more reliably. No resolved growing mode appears in those channels. A conservative squared-matrix resolution estimate reaches roughly one percent of the selected frequency for the depth-ten control; that numerical limitation is reported separately.

These are finite spatial perturbation tests, including their exact positive angular-square contribution. They do not prove stability in all azimuthal channels, nonlinear stability, supporting geometry, or complete particle inertia. Increasing the spatial basis is also required when a two-mode encounter drives new angular components.
