Using a finite sampled mean to choose shifts the true asymptotic carrier relative to that prescribed center. In two tested preparations the displacement exceeds the narrowest reported half-band by factors about 1.67 and 3.21. Degenerate coherent cross terms also change the exact mean from a diagonal-only sum. A complete comparison must hold the physical normalization fixed and state its spectral center.
The prepared trajectories need their own equations and complete energy. Assigning a positive frequency to a constant Neumann mode without restoring energy is not a solution of the unmodified wave law. Flattening frequencies while retaining the original gradient energy likewise changes the implied equations and energy per mode. Doubling equal-amplitude quadratures doubles the energy budget unless their amplitudes are rescaled. Refitting can conceal these absolute normalization changes in fractional spectra; it cannot establish the required common action normalization.
Dispersion does not universally force temporal local-energy beats: placing
each balanced mode in its own orthogonal real component plane removes them
for arbitrary frequencies, at a cost of components. The density may
still vary spatially and the complete field remains multifrequency.
Weighted spatial energy readouts provide another distinct branch requiring
a derived response kernel. None automatically satisfies the combined
uniform-density, actual coherent carrier and nested-occupation target.
The exact identities, validated sample, sampling limits and alternatives

Complete Quadratic Energy And Neutral Texture Directions
The covariant support's lower-order terms can also be retained. Write , , and let be the complete quadratic sum of the linearized residual squares, including their undifferentiated terms. Eliminating the algebraic density perturbation gives
The density-lock and horizontal symplectic terms are linear in velocities. Their Legendre contributions cancel, leaving the complete conserved energy
This is on the constrained phase space, with the complete off-branch Noether charge , rather than the unrestricted Hessian of . The energy identity retains all spatially varying background coefficients. The phase and support density-lock terms cancel in its time derivative; the horizontal remainder vanishes by antisymmetry of . Conservation requires an admissible domain with vanishing integrated flux.
The support part of the zero-energy kernel contains only translations on the smooth connected positive branch. The carrier part additionally permits , where . For large enough carriers this leaves infinitely many neutral texture directions. Support and texture may shift separately in this flat-jet model; their relative registration is not selected. Therefore nonnegative energy does not establish coercivity or occupied-band selection.
Within an energy-conserving linear realization, a finite-energy eigenmode with would have to have zero . Positivity forces , and the nondegenerate horizontal equation then gives . Since , the eigenmode is trivial. This excludes such exponential modes, conditional on that domain; it does not exclude polynomial drift, uncontrolled continuous-spectrum behavior or nonlinear instability, and does not supply a vacuum completion.
The fixed auxiliary exponent four also admits the flatter density in this same covariant action. Take
Coefficient variations multiply zero residuals and velocities on the branch. The bound is independent of . Choosing and satisfies the coupled covariant cone inequalities and preserves the complete nonnegative quadratic energy for every finite integer . At the transition , the local density-lock contribution to a fixed-phase-momentum support oscillator is
This is a local oscillator diagnostic, not a full spatial eigenfrequency.
It replaces exponential coordinate stiffness with polynomial stiffness.
A large internal disturbance frequency is distinct from a large propagation
speed. Coefficients and their inverses still degenerate in the vacuum tail.
The full derivation and 1,720 checks are in covariant-quadratic-energy.
A Small Carrier Can Occupy A Full Band Without Equal Weights
There is a useful distinction between occupying every simplex label and meeting the equal-participation and mixing requirements. In paired-real notation let , , and
Its norm is pointwise one and its Fourier support lies in . For a generic single fixed , every coefficient is nonzero for every finite . For each target label, a near-identity rotation along a chain of its occupied directions gives a nonzero leading coefficient. Thus its coefficient function is not identically zero; removing the countable union of its analytic zero sets proves the common all-degree existence statement. A bounded rational witness verifies degrees one through three at all six active depths. This is stronger than matching a few moments with only a few occupied labels.
The construction needs only real components, but does not have equal modal weights. Its zero-corner weight is , whereas equal participation requires . Strict concavity of the logarithm of that count prevents a fixed repeated rotation from satisfying this at three distinct cutoffs. This restricted obstruction does not exclude other independently prepared equal-energy constructions.
Moreover, cell-averaged family overlaps obey
