Restricting its memory to affine coordinates can conceal a smaller nonlinear realization; conversely, a compact realization can become insufficient after a small rewrite. We study this problem for a finite library of known strictly positive linear branch maps followed by normalization, with linear-fractional protected readouts.\n\nTwo normalized states are behaviorally equivalent when every finite branch word gives the same protected conditional values. Cross-multiplication places every distinguishing test in the exterior-square space of dimension $\\binom n2$. Its finite invariant closure supplies a complete equivalence certificate, a finite rational signature, convex affine fibers, and representative-based updates. This signature is the coarsest exact information partition among arbitrary encoders. On a regular neighborhood its Jacobian rank $r$ is the minimum number of continuous real coordinates. If $s$ is the minimum number of affine scalars in an initial snapshot sufficient for the same complete future behavior, then $r\\le s\\le2r$; both extremes are attained. This bound does not impose recursive self-updating on those affine snapshot coordinates.\n\nWe construct, for every Hadamard order $n=2^k\\ge4$, a strictly positive two-outcome instrument with branch probabilities at least $3/8$. Its exact nonlinear recurrent memory has two coordinates, its least affine initial snapshot has three, and every fixed self-updating affine encoder needs $n-1$. A mode-aware conventional implementation also avoids the large fixed-affine state, so the construction is not an advantage over all conventional controllers. A positivity-preserving rank-one perturbation of arbitrarily small norm, preserving both branch-probability functions and individual/aggregate spectra, then raises the minimum continuous nonlinear memory to $n-1$. An explicit inverse from finite conditional readouts proves this lower bound. Nevertheless, the old two-coordinate decoder has all-horizon output error at most $8\\delta/3$ when the perturbation size is $\\delta$.\n\nExact successor admissibility is a finite quadratic implication on feasible state pairs. Linear exterior invariance is sufficient but not necessary. Positive-denominator readouts also yield explicit contraction and implementation-error certificates. The release executes 40 tests, 30 generic instrument audits, 360 additional exact word checks, 128 long histories, and 72 perturbed histories. The new contribution claimed is this specialized finite certification and sharp hierarchy of snapshot, recurrent, and nonlinear information costs; rational realization and observability themselves have substantial prior art.\n\\end{abstract}\n\n\\textbf{Keywords:} recursive self-improvement; nonlinear memory; conditional realization; exterior powers; behavioral equivalence; exact compression; finite certificates; information debt.\n\n\\clearpage\n\\begingroup\n\\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}\n\\setlength{\\parskip}{0pt}\n\\tableofcontents\n\\endgroup\n\\clearpage\n\n\\section{The scientific question and the exact contract}\n\nAn agent can change its policy, its memory encoder, or the procedure that proposes later changes. A higher current score does not establish that the new representation can support those later computations. This paper gives an exact answer to a bounded but important question:\n\\begin{quote}\nWhich distinctions must a state representation preserve so that every permitted future conditional computation remains correct, even when the representation is nonlinear?\n\\end{quote}\nThe operational object is a continuation contract, not a universal intelligence score. A branch may represent an observation-conditioned update, a declared tool transition, or a model of a permitted revision. The matrix representing it must be known and its implementation-to-model relation must be justified separately. Merely labeling arbitrary source-code edits as matrices does not satisfy that obligation.\n\n\\subsection{State, branches, and protected values}\nFix $n\\ge2$, the row $e=(1,\\ldots,1)$, and the probability simplex\n\\[\n \\Omega=\\{x\\in\\R^n:x_i\\ge0,\\ ex=1\\}.\n\\]\nThe initial state may be any point of this full-dimensional affine base. A finite branch library $\\Th=\\{T_1,\\ldots,T_m\\}$ consists of strictly positive real $n\\times n$ matrices. Its normalized maps are\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:branch}\n F_a(x)=\\frac{T_ax}{eT_ax}.\n\\end{equation}\nWhen the labels are outcomes of one stochastic instrument, additionally impose $\\sum_a eT_a=e$. More generally, labels may include actions and their outcomes; the corresponding sum condition is imposed within each action. The equivalence compiler only uses the positive maps. It does not infer probabilities from externally supplied labels.\n\nA protected readout is\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:readout}\n h_j(x)=\\frac{\\beta_jx}{\\alpha_jx},\\qquad \\min_i(\\alpha_j)_i>0.\n\\end{equation}\nNumerator rows may have either sign. Affine readouts are the case $\\alpha_j=e$. The strict denominator condition gives a continuous value on the entire compact simplex. For a chronological word $w=(a_1,\\ldots,a_\\ell)$, write\n\\[\n T_w=T_{a_\\ell}\\cdots T_{a_1},\\qquad\n h_{j,w}(x)=\\frac{\\beta_jT_wx}{\\alpha_jT_wx}.\n\\]\nThe empty word uses the identity. Intermediate normalizations cancel from this formula.\n\n\\begin{definition}[Conditional behavior]\\label{def:equiv}\nStates $x,y\\in\\Omega$ are equivalent, written $x\\sim y$, when $h_{j,w}(x)=h_{j,w}(y)$ for every protected readout and every finite branch word. An exact memory encoder $M$ is sufficient if its current stored value determines all these future values and admits updates under the observed labels.\n\\end{definition}\nThis preserves comparisons against every real threshold, including ties. It need not preserve outcome probabilities, unconditional expected returns, or every planning objective. Those are different, usually stronger, contracts. A controller whose action is a function of the protected values makes the same decision along a common supplied label history. Equality of distributions of label histories does not follow.\n\n\\subsection{Four resources that must not be conflated}\nA finite signature length, a minimum local continuous dimension, a number of stored bits, and the cost of obtaining the initial signature are different quantities. A single discontinuous real number can encode arbitrarily much mathematical information; we therefore do not convert a dimension theorem into a bit claim. A nonlinear encoder can also require several source measurements before writing fewer persistent coordinates. These acquisition costs remain explicit.\n\n\\subsection{Relation to established work}\nValue-directed POMDP compression already connects retained information to decisions and invariant linear spaces \\cite{poupart}. Rational realization theory develops observable and minimal nonlinear representations \\cite{nemcova,canonical}. Exact conditional quantum reduction preserves selected observables and measurement distributions under a stronger predictive contract \\cite{grigoletto}. Weighted-automata theory supplies finite linear representations and product constructions for recognizable series \\cite{sakarovitch}. The present exterior lift uses these established kinds of ideas; it does not claim that nonlinear realization, products of representations, or behavioral equivalence were invented here.\n\nApproximate information states provide planning-loss guarantees and data-driven methods under reward and prediction obligations \\cite{ais}. Recent observable realization work also distinguishes failure of one moment representation from impossibility of every smooth finite filter \\cite{emerson}. Our setting is finite-dimensional, discrete, and positive, with known operators and all initial simplex states. We do not solve the infinite-dimensional quantum problem or unknown-model reinforcement learning.\n\nRecursive modification of the improvement procedure is itself already an explicit aim of Hyperagents \\cite{hyperagents}. The purpose here is to establish a more exact memory contract around such changes, not to take credit for meta-level editing. The contribution boundaries are recorded in Section~\\ref{sec:claims}.\n\n\\section{Finite exterior certificates for every future word}\n\n"}

Coordinates in $\\Lambda^2\\R^n$ are indexed by $i<j$. For rows $u,v$ define\n\\[\n (u\\wedge v)_{ij}=u_iv_j-u_jv_i.\n\\]\nUse the same coordinate convention for $x\\wedge y$.

A basis can be selected from actual orbit rows, rather than arbitrary linear combinations:\n\\[\n R_i=(\\beta_{j_i}T_{w_i})\\wedge(\\alpha_{j_i}T_{w_i}),\\qquad 1\\le i\\le q.\n\\]\nWrite $b_i=\\beta_{j_i}T_{w_i}$ and $a_i=\\alpha_{j_i}T_{w_i}$. Define the rational signature\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:signature}\n \\sig(x)=\\left(\\frac{b_1x}{a_1x},\\ldots,\\frac{b_qx}{a_qx}\\right).\n\\end{equation}\nZero orbit rows are omitted; their readouts are globally constant and require no state information.\n\n\\begin{theorem}[Finite nonlinear continuation theorem]\\label{thm:exterior}\nFor the stated positive model:\n\\begin{enumerate}\n\\item The iteration stabilizes after at most $D-\\dim\\QQ_0$ strict increases. An orbit basis with word length at most this bound exists.\n\\item $x\\sim y$ if and only if $R(x\\wedge y)=0$, and if and only if $\\sig(x)=\\sig(y)$.\n\\item The signature admits exact updates under every branch. It therefore preserves all protected conditional decisions along every finite adaptively chosen label history.\n\\item Every exact encoder, including an arbitrary nonlinear encoder, refines this equivalence: $M(x)=M(y)$ implies $\\sig(x)=\\sig(y)$. Thus $\\sig$ is a coarsest sufficient information partition.\n\\item Finite identities $RC_2(T_a)=H_aR$, together with orbit provenance and inclusion of the seed rows, certify the entire continuation claim.\n\\end{enumerate}\n\\end{theorem}\n\n\\begin{proof}\nEvery strict increase in \\eqref{eq:closure} adds at least one dimension in a $D$-dimensional space. If an iteration adds no dimension, the space is invariant under every $C_2(T_a)$, so all subsequent iterations are equal. The rows reached after $t$ iterations are the span of seed orbits through length at most $t$. This proves finite termination and the length bound. When the seed span is zero, every protected readout is constant and there is nothing to store.\n\nSince all denominators are positive, equality of $h_{j,w}(x)$ and $h_{j,w}(y)$ is equivalent to vanishing of their cross product in \\eqref{eq:wedge}. Equation~\\eqref{eq:compound} places every such row in $\\QQ_*$. Vanishing on a basis therefore is equivalent to vanishing for all words. Vanishing on the selected basis rows is exactly equality of the ratios in \\eqref{eq:signature}.\n\nIf $x\\sim y$, then, for every future word $w$, the output from $F_a(x)$ equals that from $F_a(y)$: it is the original output for the concatenated chronological word $(a,w)$. Thus $F_a(x)\\sim F_a(y)$. Define the signature update by taking any state in the input fiber, applying $F_a$, and taking its signature. The result is independent of the representative. Induction gives exact pathwise continuation, including when an action is chosen using the retained values.\n\nIf an encoder gives equal initial memories, its deterministic exact update rule and output decoder give equal values for every common future label word. It must therefore identify only equivalent states. This is the claimed minimality in the information ordering. No continuity or affine assumption was used.\n\nFinally, seed-row membership and the transport identities prove by induction that every orbit row lies in the exported row space. Orbit provenance proves that the exported rows impose only genuine behavior equalities. Together they give both directions of the certificate, rather than merely a sufficient overapproximation.\n\\end{proof}\n\n\\subsection{Why this is a nonlinear result}\nThe compiler performs linear algebra, but the memory it certifies is generally nonlinear. A ratio can remain sufficient when neither its numerator nor its denominator remains separately representable. Insisting that every auxiliary affine quantity be retained and updated solves a different problem. The distinction will be sharp in Section~\\ref{sec:family}.\n\nThe number $q$ of exterior basis rows is an upper bound on the number of coordinates in a convenient signature, not its intrinsic dimension. It can exceed $n-1$. The signature can be redundant and still define the coarsest partition. Section~\\ref{sec:dimension} gives the correct local dimension.\n\n\\subsection{Reference compiler and arithmetic cost}\nA breadth-first compiler keeps actual numerator/denominator pairs. For each retained pair $(b,a)$ and each branch $T$, form $(bT,aT)$ and keep it exactly when $(bT)\\wedge(aT)$ increases the current row rank. At most $D$ pairs are admitted. A separate checker verifies the finite transport identities, seed memberships, ratio rows, and genuine word provenance; tampering tests cover each obligation.\n\nFor rational inputs, this uses exact rational arithmetic. It terminates in polynomially many row-space operations in the dimensions of the supplied matrices. Coefficient growth and bit complexity are not zero, and the reference code is not an optimized large-scale algebra package. A direct compound matrix has $D^2$ entries; applying the wedge identity on demand can avoid constructing it. The data acquisition and storage of the underlying model are additional resources.\n\n\\section{Convex fibers, nonlinear updates, and minimum local dimension}\\label{sec:dimension}\n\n\\subsection{A nonlinear signature has affine fibers}\nFor a feasible signature $z$, define\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:L}\n L(z)=\\begin{pmatrix}b_1-z_1a_1\\\\\\vdots\\\\b_q-z_qa_q\\end{pmatrix}.\n\\end{equation}\n\n\\begin{proposition}[Exact fiber geometry]\\label{prop:fiber}\nThe signature fiber is the compact convex polytope\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:fiber}\n C_z=\\{x\\in\\Omega:L(z)x=0\\}.\n\\end{equation}\nAny feasible representative $\\widehat x\\in C_z$ gives the exact branch update\n$z'=\\sig(F_a(\\widehat x))$. A linear feasibility problem therefore implements a general representative-based decoder.\n\\end{proposition}\n\\begin{proof}\nPositive denominators make $b_ix/(a_ix)=z_i$ equivalent to $(b_i-z_ia_i)x=0$. Intersect these equations with the simplex. Theorem~\\ref{thm:exterior} makes the normalized signature of the image representative-independent.\n\\end{proof}\nThe representative is not a reconstruction of the hidden true state. It is a computational witness with the same protected future behavior. Temporary $n$-dimensional workspace and the feasibility computation must be charged even when fewer coordinates are persistently stored. The implementation returns numerical residuals for floating-point feasibility; those are not exact rational proof objects.\n\n\\subsection{The local information dimension}\nLet $r$ be the maximum rank of $D\\sig$ on the interior of $\\Omega$. Since $\\sig$ is rational with positive denominators, this maximum is attained on an open dense regular set unless the signature is constant. Rank means differentiation in the tangent space $\\{v:ev=0\\}$.\n\n\\begin{theorem}[Exact local continuous dimension]\\label{thm:dimension}\nAt every interior regular point $x$:\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:rank}\n r=\\rank L(\\sig(x)).\n\\end{equation}\nA neighborhood has a representation of its behavior classes by $r$ smooth real coordinates. Any continuous encoder into $\\R^k$ that preserves the complete conditional behavior on that neighborhood has $k\\ge r$, even if its decoder is not assumed smooth.\n\\end{theorem}\n\\begin{proof}\nFor a tangent vector $v$,\n\\[\n D\\sig_i(x)v=\\frac{(b_i-\\sig_i(x)a_i)v}{a_ix}.\n\\]\nPositive row scaling does not change rank. Every row of $L(\\sig(x))$ annihilates $x$, whereas $ex=1$. Thus $e$ does not belong to their nonzero span. Restriction of those rows to $\\ker e$ preserves their rank, proving \\eqref{eq:rank}.\n\nThe constant-rank theorem gives a local chart in which $\\sig$ depends injectively on $r$ transverse coordinates and not on the remaining coordinates. This supplies the local representation. On a transverse $r$-dimensional slice, equality of an exact encoder's values would force equality of $\\sig$, hence equality of the slice points. A continuous encoder restricted to that slice must be injective. An open subset of $\\R^r$ does not continuously inject into $\\R^k$ for $k<r$, by invariance of dimension. This proves the lower bound without requiring differentiability of the encoder or decoder.\n\\end{proof}\nLocal coordinates need not form one globally valid chart, and their transition domains must be respected by an implementation. The finite signature is global; a globally minimal smooth coordinate system is not asserted for an arbitrary model. The explicit family below has a global two-coordinate realization, so its lower bound is global as well.\n\n\\section{The sharp snapshot--recurrence separation law}\n\n\\subsection{A ratio lemma with arbitrary decoding}\nAn affine memory can always be represented by a row space $W$ containing $e$, since affine offsets are supplied by $ex=1$.\n\n\\begin{lemma}[Affine information required by a nonconstant ratio]\\label{lem:ratio}\nLet $\\alpha$ be positive on $\\Omega$ and let $\\beta/\\alpha$ be nonconstant. If an arbitrary decoder recovers $\\beta x/\\alpha x$ from a fixed affine encoding with row span $W\\ni e$, then $\\alpha,\\beta\\in W$.\n\\end{lemma}\n\\begin{proof}\nFor $v\\in W^\\perp$ and an interior normalized state $x$, the states $x+tv$ have the same memory for sufficiently small positive and negative $t$. Their ratios agree. Differentiation gives\n\\[\n \\beta(v)\\alpha(x)-\\alpha(v)\\beta(x)=0.\n\\]\nThis identity holds on an open subset of $ex=1$ and hence, being linear in $x$, on its linear span $\\R^n$. Nonconstancy means that $\\alpha$ and $\\beta$ are independent rows. Both coefficients must be zero. Thus both rows annihilate $W^\\perp$ and belong to $W$.\n\\end{proof}\n\n\\subsection{An exact factor-two bound}\nDefine the snapshot space\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:S}\n S=\\Span\\{e,a_1,b_1,\\ldots,a_q,b_q\\},\\qquad s=\\dim S-1.\n\\end{equation}\nIts coordinates need only determine the initial behavior class. They are not required to update as affine functions of the current state through the whole branch library.\n\n\\begin{theorem}[Sharp affine-snapshot law]\\label{thm:two}\nThe least number of affine scalars sufficient at initialization for the complete conditional behavior is exactly $s$ in \\eqref{eq:S}. If $r$ is the generic nonlinear information dimension, then\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:factor2}\n \\boxed{r\\le s\\le2r.}\n\\end{equation}\nBoth endpoints are attained. The claim is independent of the number of future words and permits arbitrary nonlinear decoding of the stored affine snapshot.\n\\end{theorem}\n\\begin{proof}\nEvery selected ratio is nonconstant, because its exterior row was admitted as independent and nonzero. Lemma~\\ref{lem:ratio} forces each $a_i,b_i$ into any sufficient affine row space. Therefore $S$ is necessary. Its values compute every component of $\\sig$, which determines every future output, so it is sufficient. Full simplex interior makes its $s$ nonconstant coordinates independent. Also $\\sig$ factors through $s$ affine coordinates, giving $r\\le s$.\n\n"}

An unbounded gap can still occur when a fixed affine memory is required to update itself, because it must preserve auxiliary numerator and denominator values that the nonlinear realization may legitimately forget.

Every entry is therefore at least\n\\[\n \\frac{1-c-c\\tau-(n-4)\\lambda}{n}>\\frac1{4n}.\n\\]\nThe first rows in feature coordinates give $eA=c\\alpha$ and $eB=d$, whose sum is $e$. Since $|z_3|\\le1$, the probability bounds follow.\n\nUnder $A$, normalized coordinates satisfy\n\\[\n z_1'=\\frac{\\gamma z_2}{1+\\tau z_3},\\quad\n z_2'=\\frac{\\kappa z_2}{1+\\tau z_3},\\quad z_3'=0.\n\\]\nUnder $B$, $z_1'=z_2'=0$. These are precisely \\eqref{eq:updates}. The current output gives $u$, and the next-$A$ output gives $\\gamma v$. Since $\\gamma\\ne0$, any exact behavior-preserving memory determines both. At the uniform state, their differentials are the independent rows $f,b$, so Theorem~\\ref{thm:dimension} forces at least two continuous coordinates. The explicit realization attains it globally.\n\nAn affine snapshot must recover both $f x$ and $b x/\\alpha x$. Lemma~\\ref{lem:ratio} forces $e,f,b,\\alpha$, which are independent. Three nonconstant scalars suffice and are necessary.\n\nFor the recurrent claim, let $W\\ni e,f$ be any fixed affine feature space admitting exact updates with arbitrary nonlinear decoders. If, for a positive branch $T$, the image $WT$ has dimension greater than one, one ratio $(gT)x/(eT)x$ is nonconstant. Lemma~\\ref{lem:ratio} puts $eT,gT$ in $W$. For every other row $h\\in W$, either its normalized ratio is nonconstant and the lemma applies, or $hT$ is proportional to the already retained $eT$. Thus $WT\\subseteq W$. This is the reset-or-invariance dichotomy, proved here for completeness.\n\nFor $A$, the images $eA=c\\alpha$ and $fA=c\\gamma b$ are independent, so $\\alpha,b\\in W$ and hence $a\\in W$. If $n>4$, under $B$ the independent rows $eB=d$ and $aB=\\lambda F_{4,:}$ force the fourth hidden row. Repeating gives $F_{5,:},\\ldots,F_{n-1,:}$. For $n=4$ the initial four rows already span all of $\\R^n$. Thus in every case $W=\\R^{n*}$, requiring $n-1$ nonconstant affine coordinates.\n\\end{proof}\n\n\\subsection{The exterior certificate is only two-dimensional}\nDefine $q_1=f\\wedge e$ and $q_2=b\\wedge\\alpha$. Direct calculation gives\n\\begin{align}\n q_1C_2(A)&=c^2\\gamma q_2,& q_2C_2(A)&=c^2\\kappa q_2,\\\\\n q_1C_2(B)&=0,&q_2C_2(B)&=0.\n\\end{align}\nThe seed $q_1$ reaches $q_2$, and the span is invariant. The compiler therefore discovers the two-function behavior certificate without enumerating the infinitely many words.\n\n\\begin{center}\n\\begin{tabular}{rrrr}\n\\toprule\nLatent states & Nonlinear recurrent & Affine snapshot & Fixed affine recurrent\\\\\n\\midrule\n4&2&3&3\\\\8&2&3&7\\\\16&2&3&15\\\\32&2&3&31\\\\64&2&3&63\\\\\n\\bottomrule\n\\end{tabular}\n\\end{center}\n\n\\subsection{A fair conventional control}\nThe large gap is against a \\emph{fixed self-updating affine encoder}, not all conventional methods. A mode-aware implementation can acquire $z_1,z_2,z_3$ initially, compute the ratio once, and then use the low-dimensional update. Indeed, after the first $A$ label, $u/v=\\gamma/\\kappa$ is fixed; after $B$, the protected behavior is zero forever. An ordinary mode-aware controller can therefore match the conditional outputs with three initial affine scalars and at most one subsequent scalar plus a mode flag.\n\nThis control is not a loophole in the theorem; it clarifies what the theorem measures. The new compiler identifies the exact behavioral object rather than mistaking the full fixed-affine closure for an information-theoretic minimum over all encoders. No superiority over an equally informed implementation of the same sufficient statistic is claimed.\n\n\\section{A tiny isospectral rewrite destroys the nonlinear compression}\\label{sec:rewrite}\nReplace $L_B$ by\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:perturb}\n L_{B,\\delta}=L_B+\\delta E_{13},\\qquad 0<\\delta<1/8,\n \\quad B_\\delta=F^\\top L_{B,\\delta}F/n.\n\\end{equation}\nKeep $A$ and the protected output $f$ unchanged.\n\n\\begin{theorem}[Nonlinear memory dimension transition]\\label{thm:rewrite}\nFor every allowed $n$ and arbitrarily small $\\delta>0$:\n\\begin{enumerate}\n\\item The new instrument remains strictly positive. Its branch-probability functions are exactly the old ones.\n\\item $B_\\delta-B=\\delta f^\\top a/n$ has rank one, operator norm $\\delta$, and maximum entry magnitude $\\delta/n$.\n\\item $B_\\delta$ and $B$ have identical characteristic polynomials. The aggregates $A+B_\\delta$ and $A+B$ also have identical characteristic polynomials and fix the same uniform state.\n\\item The complete future conditional behavior is now injective on $\\Omega$. Its minimum continuous memory dimension is $n-1$, whereas the unperturbed instrument requires two.\n\\end{enumerate}\n\\end{theorem}\n\n\\begin{proof}\nThe added physical term has absolute entry $\\delta/n<1/(8n)$, smaller than the positivity margin for $B$. Its column sums are zero because $ef^\\top=0$. Consequently branch probabilities do not change. Orthogonality and $\\norm f_2=\\norm a_2=\\sqrt n$ give the rank and norm claims.\n\nAll feature matrices are upper triangular. Both versions of $L_B$ have diagonal $(1/2,0,\\ldots,0)$. Both aggregates have diagonal entries $1,c\\kappa,0,\\ldots,0$ in their appropriate positions, with $c\\kappa=1/16$. The perturbation is off diagonal, so the characteristic polynomials agree exactly. The uniform state has feature vector $(1,0,\\ldots,0)^\\top$, which the aggregates fix.\n\nFor injectivity, retain the two readouts already available from the old behavior: initial $u=z_1$ and next-$A$ output $\\gamma v$, with $v=z_2/(1+\\tau z_3)$. Let $y_{t+1}$ be the protected output after $t+1$ consecutive $B_\\delta$ labels. Write $a_t$ for coordinate $z_3$ in the normalized state after $t$ such labels. With $d_0=1/2$ and $d_1=1/8$,\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:inverse}\n y_{t+1}=\\frac{\\delta a_t}{d_0-d_1a_t},\\qquad\n a_t=\\frac{d_0y_{t+1}}{\\delta+d_1y_{t+1}}.\n\\end{equation}\nThe inverse denominator is positive: it equals $\\delta d_0/(d_0-d_1a_t)$. Define\n\\[\n P_0=1,\\qquad P_t=\\prod_{j=0}^{t-1}(d_0-d_1a_j).\n\\]\nThe hidden shift in \\eqref{eq:LB} implies\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:recover}\n a_t=\\frac{\\lambda^t z_{3+t}}{P_t},\\qquad 0\\le t\\le n-4.\n\\end{equation}\nThus $y_1,\\ldots,y_{n-3}$ recover $z_3,\\ldots,z_{n-1}$ successively. Then $z_2=v(1+\\tau z_3)$, and $z_1=u$. Every feature coordinate and hence every initial state is recovered.\n\nAny exact memory therefore must be injective on the full interior simplex. A continuous encoder into fewer than $n-1$ real coordinates is impossible by invariance of dimension. The full state attains $n-1$, proving the exact minimum.\n\\end{proof}\n\nThe inverse is explicit but can be ill-conditioned when $\\delta$ or $\\lambda^t$ is small. The theorem establishes exact information dependence, not a large practical error at every finite tolerance. It also explains why current outputs, branch probabilities, eigenvalues, or perturbation rank are insufficient by themselves to certify nonlinear continuation compatibility.\n\n\\subsection{A concrete failure witness}\nLet $\\nu=\\boldsymbol1/n$ and\n\\[\n x_\\pm=\\nu\\pm\\frac{a^\\top}{4n}.\n\\]\nBoth states are strictly positive. They have the same old signature $(u,v)=(0,0)$, since $f$ and $b$ are orthogonal to $a$, but their $a$ coordinates are $\\pm1/4$. After one rewritten $B$ branch their outputs are\n\\[\n \\frac{\\delta/4}{1/2-1/32}\\quad\\hbox{and}\\quad\n \\frac{-\\delta/4}{1/2+1/32},\n\\]\nwhich have opposite signs. A zero-threshold decision must differ. No decoder of the old memory can fix that exact ambiguity.\n\n\\section{Finite precision: exact information debt is not numerical catastrophe}\n\n"}

It does not change normalization or the $b$ and $a$ coordinates, so the old update for $v$ remains exact. After an $A$ label the protected output is still exactly $\\gamma v$. After a $B_\\delta$ label, the discrepancy from the old prediction zero is\n\\[\n \\left|\\frac{\\delta a_t}{1/2-a_t/8}\\right|\\le\\delta/(3/8),\n\\]\nsince $|a_t|\\le1$. The next label uses $v$, not the erroneous old value of $u$. Therefore no past readout error accumulates.\n\\end{proof}\n\n\\subsection{Finite-bit recurrent implementation}\nFor the unperturbed family, both compact maps are contractions in the maximum norm with factor $\\kappa=1/8$. Quantize each coordinate to a grid of spacing $\\Delta$, rounding after every update. If initialization is rounded with error at most $\\Delta/2$, then\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:quant}\n \\norm{z_t-\\widehat z_t}_\\infty\n \\le\\kappa^t\\norm{z_0-\\widehat z_0}_\\infty+\n       \\frac{\\Delta}{2}\\frac{1-\\kappa^t}{1-\\kappa}\n \\le\\frac{\\Delta}{2(1-\\kappa)}.\n\\end{equation}\nThis follows from the one-step recursion $E_{t+1}\\le\\kappa E_t+\\Delta/2$. The reachable coordinate range lies in $[-4/3,4/3]^2$. With fixed implementation constants, at most\n\\[\n 2\\left\\lceil\\log_2\\left(\\left\\lceil\\frac{8}{3\\Delta}\\right\\rceil+2\\right)\\right\\rceil\n\\]\nstate bits suffice. This is $2\\log_2(1/\\varepsilon)+O(1)$ for all-history coordinate error $\\varepsilon$, independent of $n$. Code, model storage, acquisition, and mode/branch metadata are not included in that state-bit count.\n\nThe leading coefficient two is also necessary for worst-state deterministic approximation of current $f$ and next-$A$ output. Indeed, the valid states\n\\[\n x_{s,t}=\\frac{\\boldsymbol1+s f^\\top+t b^\\top}{n},\\qquad |s|,|t|\\le1/4,\n\\]\nhave signature $(s,t)$. An encoder achieving error at most $\\varepsilon$ on both values $s$ and $\\gamma t$ cannot identify two grid points separated by more than $2\\varepsilon$ in the first coordinate or $2\\varepsilon/\\gamma$ in the second. A rectangular packing has at least $C\\varepsilon^{-2}$ points for fixed $\\gamma=1/8$ and small enough $\\varepsilon$, giving $2\\log_2(1/\\varepsilon)-O(1)$ bits. This is a deterministic worst-state guarantee, not a lower bound for a different average-error or randomized encoding contract.\n\nFor the perturbed system, combining \\eqref{eq:uniformdelta} with \\eqref{eq:quant} yields output error at most $8\\delta/3+\\Delta/[2(1-\\kappa)]$. This explicitly separates exact dimension from finite-accuracy engineering.\n\n\\section{Exact admission of new branches and new readouts}\n\n\\subsection{The complete compatibility criterion}\nFor a compiled signature, define the feasible pair set\n\\[\n \\mathcal P_R=\\{(x,y)\\in\\Omega^2:R(x\\wedge y)=0\\}.\n\\]\nA proposed strictly positive branch $T$ must update the old signature without retrieving discarded information.\n\n\\begin{theorem}[Exact nonlinear rewrite admission]\\label{thm:admit}\nSuch an update exists if and only if, for every exported row $R_i$,\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:QE}\n R_iC_2(T)(x\\wedge y)=0\\quad\\hbox{for every }(x,y)\\in\\mathcal P_R.\n\\end{equation}\nWhen the condition holds, the same signature supports all finite interleavings of old and new branches. A new readout $\\beta/\\alpha$ is admissible exactly when its exterior row annihilates every pair in $\\mathcal P_R$.\n\\end{theorem}\n\\begin{proof}\nUpdating from the old memory is possible exactly when every pair in one old memory fiber has equal new signatures. The difference of a signature ratio after $T$ has numerator $R_iC_2(T)(x\\wedge y)$ and a positive denominator. This proves necessity and sufficiency. The resulting well-defined update composes with the old updates, giving the interleaving statement. The readout condition is the same cross-multiplication without an update.\n\\end{proof}\n\nFor rational matrices on the simplex, failure of \\eqref{eq:QE} is a finite existential statement with polynomial equalities and inequalities of degree at most two in $(x,y)$. Real quantifier elimination decides it in principle \\cite{bpr}. This is a decidability claim, not a polynomial-time or scalable implementation claim. The reference package checks finite identities and explicit witnesses; it does not implement a general quantifier-elimination engine.\n\n\\subsection{Linear exterior invariance is sufficient, not necessary}\nThe convenient test\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:suff}\n RC_2(T)=HR\n\\end{equation}\nimplies compatibility, but can reject a compatible edit. Not every vector in $\\ker R$ is a feasible decomposable wedge $x\\wedge y$ of equivalent states. Treating all of $\\ker R$ as physically realizable adds unnecessary constraints.\n\nFor example, in a three-state simplex, storing its first two coordinates already stores the entire state. Its basic exterior rows are $E_0\\wedge e$ and $E_1\\wedge e$. Every positive normalized update is computable from these state coordinates. Yet for\n\\[\n T=\\frac1{20}\\begin{pmatrix}3&2&1\\\\1&4&2\\\\2&1&5\\end{pmatrix},\n\\]\nthe stacked rank of $R$ and $RC_2(T)$ is three, while $\\rank R=2$. Thus \\eqref{eq:suff} fails despite complete state information. The exact pair criterion avoids this false rejection.\n\n\\subsection{Unrestricted future edits force full information}\n\\begin{proposition}[No exact compression under arbitrary positive rewrites]\\label{prop:all}\nIf a nonconstant affine readout must remain exact after every strictly positive stochastic rewrite, every sufficient encoder is injective on $\\Omega$. Every continuous one therefore requires at least $n-1$ real coordinates.\n\\end{proposition}\n\\begin{proof}\nFor distinct $x,y$, choose a row $g$ with $g(x-y)\\ne0$. Choose a zero-sum column $v$ with $fv\\ne0$, possible because $f$ is not constant. The matrix $T=\\nu e+\\eta vg$ is column stochastic and strictly positive for sufficiently small $\\eta>0$. Then $fTx-fTy=\\eta(fv)g(x-y)\\ne0$. Hence any two distinct states are separated by some allowed rewrite. The dimension conclusion follows as before.\n\\end{proof}\nA compressed recursive architecture must therefore declare its future transformation family, allow additional evidence acquisition, accept controlled approximation, or retain the full state. This is a precise tradeoff rather than a reason to abandon self-improvement.\n\n\\section{Quantitative exterior certificates for robust continuation}\nThe exact compiler can also supply an explicit sufficient error bound. This section does not assert that every exact quotient is stable.\n\nSuppose $R_i=b_i\\wedge a_i$ and a branch $T$ obeys\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:residual}\n RC_2(T)=HR+E.\n\\end{equation}\nFor states in a declared feasible compact set, let\n\\[\n U_j\\ge\\sup_x a_jx,\\qquad\n \\ell_{i,T}\\le\\inf_x a_iTx,\\quad\\ell_{i,T}>0,\\qquad \\norm x_2\\le K.\n\\]\nDefine nonnegative quantities\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:boundC}\n C_{ij}=\\frac{|H_{ij}|U_j^2}{\\ell_{i,T}^2},\\qquad\n d_i=\\frac{K^2\\norm{E_i}_2}{\\ell_{i,T}^2}.\n\\end{equation}\n\n\\begin{theorem}[Finite continuation-error certificate]\\label{thm:robust}\nFor every two feasible states,\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:robust}\n |\\sig(F_T(x))-\\sig(F_T(y))|\n \\le C|\\sig(x)-\\sig(y)|+d\n\\end{equation}\ncomponentwise. If all branches have a common positive vector $v$ and $q<1$ with $C_av\\le qv$, and each represented-state update introduces weighted signature error at most $\\zeta_t$, then the propagated error satisfies\n\\[\n E_{t+1}\\le qE_t+\\max_i d_{a_t,i}/v_i+\\zeta_t.\n\\]\nA uniform local error charge $\\eta$ gives $E_t\\le q^tE_0+\\eta(1-q^t)/(1-q)$.\n\\end{theorem}\n\\begin{proof}\nThe $i$th left difference has denominator $(a_iTx)(a_iTy)$ and numerator $R_iC_2(T)(x\\wedge y)$. For the exact part,\n\\[\n R_j(x\\wedge y)=(a_jx)(a_jy)(\\sig_j(x)-\\sig_j(y)).\n\\]\nApply the absolute-value triangle inequality to \\eqref{eq:residual}, use the denominator bounds, and use $\\norm{x\\wedge y}_2\\le\\norm x_2\\norm y_2\\le K^2$ for the residual. This proves \\eqref{eq:robust}. In the weighted maximum norm, the positive-vector condition gives contraction. Applying the triangle inequality in the actual signature coordinates to the implementation error proves the recurrence; induction sums its geometric series.\n\\end{proof}\nThe stored approximate signature must correspond to a feasible represented state, or the implementation must separately validate an extension of the update off the signature image. A grid in an ambient coordinate box is not automatically feasible. The explicit two-coordinate family has polynomial updates defined on the whole box and was analyzed directly; the general theorem does not silently assume that convenience.\n\nSmall branch probabilities can make the denominator bounds poor. The family in Section~\\ref{sec:family} rules out rarity as the explanation for its separation, but the general problem does not. Observing rare evidence still has its ordinary sampling cost.\n\n\\section{Successor decisions and a sound recursive deployment rule}\n\n\\subsection{Gain certification must respect nonlinear utilities}\nA memory compatibility certificate is not a proof of improved utility. Let $C_t$ be a valid uncertainty set at the common evaluation anchor for parent $p$ and child $q$. Suppose modeled utilities $\\widehat U_p,\\widehat U_q$ have uniform errors $\\epsilon_p,\\epsilon_q$, and let $c_t\\ge0$ be the charged cost. A sound margin is\n\\begin{equation}\\label{eq:gate}\n \\mathrm{LCB}_t=\\inf_{x\\in C_t}\\{\\widehat U_q(x)-\\widehat U_p(x)\\}\n                -\\epsilon_q-\\epsilon_p-c_t.\n\\end{equation}\nAccept only when this is positive, the new memory/branch contract is compatible or has been expanded using actually acquired information, and separate operational requirements pass.\n\nIf an initial uncertainty event covers the true initial state with probability $1-\\delta$ and known transitions correctly transport the set, the same event supports all adaptively selected gates. This is ordinary uniform-confidence reasoning, not new independent evidence for every candidate. Uniform model-error bounds and valid transition models are essential.\n\n\\subsection{A sharp warning: checking only vertices can accept a harmful revision}\nFor $t\\in[0,1]$, consider two bounded utilities\n\\[\n U_q(t)=\\frac1{1+t},\\qquad U_p(t)=\\frac3{2+t}-\\frac{13}{25}.\n\\]\nBoth lie in $[0,1]$. Their gain is $1/50$ at both vertices $0,1$, but at\n$t_*=(\\sqrt3-1)/2$ it equals\n\\[\n U_q(t_*)-U_p(t_*)=2\\sqrt3-\\frac{87}{25}<0.\n\\]\nTherefore a vertex-only promotion check is unsound for general differences of linear-fractional utilities. Each separate function is simple; their difference need not attain its minimum at a vertex. With positive denominators, a proposed threshold for the difference can be cross-multiplied into a quadratic inequality and certified on the full feasible set. A general solver may be expensive; no unimplemented global optimizer is claimed.\n\n"}

The recorded environment is Python 3.13.5, NumPy 2.3.5, SciPy 1.17.0, and SymPy 1.14.0. The package contains exact certificate strings, raw initial states and branch histories, test logs, numerical residuals, and source code.

Coordinate-space witnesses verify the complete fixed-affine span without relying on a floating-point rank threshold. For $n=4,8$, the generic exterior compiler independently returns a two-row certificate and maximum selected word length one.\n\nThe exact inverse reconstructs all hidden coordinates from finite rewritten-$B$ outputs for $n=4,8,16$. The smallest witness uses two strictly positive states with the same old signature and opposite new threshold decisions. The implementation also rejects invalid denominator rows, nonpositive maps, incompatible state normalization, and malformed dimensions; a deliberately tampered transport matrix fails verification.\n\n\\subsection{Generic instruments and arbitrary words}\nThirty instruments with $n=3,4,5$ are generated from independent positive integer matrices, jointly normalized column by column. The compiler exports exact rational closures. Twelve independent words of length seven per instrument are then checked by direct numerator/denominator multiplication against the exported row space, giving 360 extra exact membership checks.\n\nFor each generic instrument, a different numerical routine solves a linear program for a state representative of the stored signature and updates from that representative. Direct normalized-state updates and representative updates differ by at most $2.887\\times10^{-14}$. This is a numerical implementation check, not an exhaustive independent proof of the theorem. General nonlinear edit admission by quantifier elimination is not implemented.\n\n\\subsection{Long histories and quantization}\nA separate feature-coordinate simulator runs 128 histories of length 256 for $n=64$. Histories include all-$A$, all-$B$, alternating, and random supplied labels. It does not call the physical-matrix compiler. The largest discrepancy between full-state and compact updates is $2.082\\times10^{-17}$.\n\nWith grid spacing $\\Delta=2^{-12}$, the largest observed quantized discrepancy is $1.36921\\times10^{-4}$, below the analytical bound\n\\[\n \\frac{2^{-12}}{2(1-1/8)}=1.39509\\times10^{-4}.\n\\]\nBranch labels are supplied for pathwise comparison, rather than claimed to have been sampled by the compact memory. Such a sampler would need the unretained branch probability information.\n\nSeventy-two perturbed histories cover $\\delta=10^{-2},10^{-4},10^{-6}$. Every observed output error remains below $8\\delta/3$. Exact symbolic reconstruction, rather than those numerical paths, proves that the exact nonlinear dimension nevertheless rises to $n-1$ for every nonzero perturbation.\n\n\\subsection{What was deliberately not claimed}\nA conventional implementation of the same two-coordinate statistic reproduces the same results. The mode-aware three-scalar initializer also matches the behavior. The experiments therefore validate finite continuation certificates and sharp restricted comparisons, not a measured advantage of recursive self-replacement. No result is interpreted as ``times more intelligent.''\n\n\\subsection{Reproduction}\nFrom the package root:\n\\begin{verbatim}\npython -m pip install -r requirements.txt\npython -m unittest discover -s tests -v\npython run_checks.py\ncd manuscript\npdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error aelyraith3.tex\npdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error aelyraith3.tex\n\\end{verbatim}\nThe complete raw trajectory file preserves initial distributions and all supplied labels. The first twelve step readouts are retained for inspection; every step enters the reported maximum-error calculation.

The proofs give both constructions and impossibility directions. The factor-two snapshot theorem also prevents an exaggerated reading of the recurrent affine gap.\n\nThe surrounding mathematical traditions are not new. Cross multiplication, compound representations, finite orbit closure, rational realization, local rank lower bounds, and real quantifier elimination are established tools \\cite{sakarovitch,nemcova,canonical,bpr}. The claimed object is their specialized combination and the sharp consequences proved here. A targeted primary-source search is not an exhaustive proof of publication priority.\n\nRelative to an empirical recursive training pipeline, this work supplies a different layer: a complete conditional equivalence criterion and admissibility tests for model-backed representation changes. It does not replace actor--critic optimization, infer a faithful latent model for an arbitrary neural agent, or demonstrate better task performance. A universal superiority statement would require a common information oracle, common objective, matched resources, and an actual theorem or experiment on that class.\n\n\\begin{longtable}{p{.35\\textwidth}p{.58\\textwidth}}\n\\toprule\nClaim & Exact status and boundary\\\\\\midrule\nFinite certificate for all future conditional readouts & Proved for known finite positive branch maps and positive-denominator linear-fractional readouts.\\\\\nCoarsest nonlinear memory & Proved as an information partition among arbitrary encoders; not a constant-bit real encoding claim.\\\\\nMinimum continuous dimension & Exact locally on regular neighborhoods; globally exact for the explicit separation and rewritten families.\\\\\nSnapshot factor two & Sharp for fixed affine initial encoders, with arbitrary decoding and no recursive-update requirement on their coordinates.\\\\\nUnbounded recurrent affine gap & Exact for a fixed self-updating affine encoder.

It is a finite and checkable answer to what a representation must preserve for every permitted conditional future. The nonlinear behavioral object has convex fibers and finite exterior certificates. Its local information dimension controls a sharp initial snapshot law, while the cost of maintaining a fixed affine representation can diverge from that minimum.\n\nA rewrite can change the answer discontinuously: a rank-one, spectrally invisible perturbation can make the complete state necessary for exact nonlinear continuation. Yet the finite-accuracy behavior can remain uniformly close. These two statements together give a more useful engineering principle than either exact preservation or approximate performance alone: bind the future transformation family, the representation class, and the tolerated error before declaring an update safe or a memory minimal.\n\nFor recursive agents, the strongest justified use is a proof-carrying layer that admits compatible representation changes, rejects irrecoverable information loss, and quantifies approximate alternatives. The existence of better future proposals and the cost of finding them remain separate scientific questions.\n\n\\appendix\n\\section{A fully explicit four-state instance}\nUse\n\\[\n F=\\begin{pmatrix}\n 1&1&1&1\\\\1&-1&1&-1\\\\1&1&-1&-1\\\\1&-1&-1&1\n \\end{pmatrix},\\qquad F^{-1}=F^\\top/4.\n\\]\nThe feature matrices at $n=4$ are\n\\[\n L_A=\\begin{pmatrix}\n 1/2&0&0&1/8\\\\0&0&1/16&0\\\\0&0&1/16&0\\\\0&0&0&0\n \\end{pmatrix},\\qquad\n L_B=\\begin{pmatrix}\n 1/2&0&0&-1/8\\\\0&0&0&0\\\\0&0&0&0\\\\0&0&0&0\n \\end{pmatrix}.\n\\]\nConvert by $A=F^\\top L_AF/4$ and similarly for $B$.

The generic code can select a scaled second row, yielding a conjugate coefficient matrix; the equality $RC_2(A)=H_AR$ is the invariant certificate.\n\nAdding $\\delta E_{13}$ to $L_B$ keeps both branch masses unchanged. The readout after $B$ is $\\delta z_3/(1/2-z_3/8)$, whose exact inverse recovers $z_3$. With $z_1$ and the old ratio, this recovers every coordinate. The continuous memory minimum becomes three. This is the smallest member of the unbounded family, not a stand-alone extrapolation.\n\n"}

It acts on $x\\wedge y$, which is decomposable and constrained by positivity and normalization. The ambient exterior dimension $\\binom n2$ is therefore not a number of latent states, qubits, or required measurements. The compiled basis rank is likewise not the minimum nonlinear dimension. The Jacobian formula and the feasible-pair admission theorem are required to make those two further conclusions.\n\nIn particular, a generic scalar-observation system can generate the whole exterior space, while its ordinary state dimension remains $n-1$. Conversely, the constructed family has only two exterior rows but an arbitrarily large fixed affine recurrence closure. These are different ranks answering different questions.\n\n\\section{Resource ledger for a defensible implementation}\nA comparison must charge the input state model and its uncertainty; the branch matrices and validation of the actual tool or code semantics; initialization of all retained quantities; offline compiler time and rational precision; persistent runtime scalars or bits; temporary representative-solving workspace; branch-label storage and provenance; rejected revisions; and protected evaluation.\n\nFor the explicit family, the compact update is constant-dimensional, but a conventional implementation can use the same formulas. The nonlinear state advantage is exact against the specified fixed-affine representation, not exclusive ownership of an efficient implementation. For generic compiled systems, representative feasibility can cost more than a direct full-state update. Optimal information is not automatically optimal wall-clock computation.\n\n\\begin{thebibliography}{10}\n\\bibitem{poupart} P.~Poupart and C.~Boutilier.

The resulting ratio signature is a coarsest sufficient information partition even when nonlinear encoders are allowed. Its fibers are convex affine slices of the simplex, and any representative gives the same signature update.\n\nThe manuscript proves a sharp distinction between three resource contracts:\n\n| Contract | Explicit family with n latent states |\n|---|---:|\n| Minimal continuous nonlinear recurrent memory | 2 real coordinates |\n| Minimal affine initial snapshot | 3 real coordinates |\n| Minimal fixed self-updating affine memory | n−1 real coordinates |\n\nThe construction works for n a power of two, n >= 4, with strictly positive branches and outcome probabilities between 3/8 and 5/8. A mode-aware conventional controller can match its outputs with three initial affine scalars and at most one subsequent scalar plus a mode flag. Thus the gap is not an advantage over every conventional controller.\n\nAn arbitrarily small positivity-preserving rank-one rewrite leaves branch-probability functions and branch/aggregate spectra unchanged, yet makes the future behavior injective: the exact continuous nonlinear memory minimum becomes n−1. The old compact controller nevertheless retains an all-horizon output error bound of 8δ/3. Exact memory dimension and practical finite-accuracy error are different resources.\n\nA separate theorem proves r <= s <= 2r for local nonlinear information dimension r and the minimum affine initial-snapshot dimension s. Both endpoints are attained.\n\n## Read\n\n- `manuscript/AELYRAITH_III_Nonlinear_Continuation_Theorem.pdf`: complete manuscript.\n- `manuscript/aelyraith3.tex`: editable proof source.\n- `CLAIMS.md`: theorem and implementation boundaries.\n- `LITERATURE_AUDIT.md`: primary-source context and novelty limitations.\n- `results/summary.json`: actual executed summary.\n\n## Reproduce\n\nThe recorded environment is Python 3.13.5, NumPy 2.3.5, SciPy 1.17.0, and SymPy 1.14.0. Tests and experiment scripts make no network requests. Installation may require access to the Python package index.\n\n```bash\npython -m pip install -r requirements.txt\npython -m unittest discover -s tests -v\npython run_checks.py\npython check_exported.py\npython example.py\n```\n\nTo rebuild the document with a TeX installation:\n\n```bash\ncd manuscript\npdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error aelyraith3.tex\npdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error aelyraith3.tex\n```\n\nThe title uses the author's requested creative attribution. The final-page footer is a personal dedication, not part of any theorem or scientific evidence.\n\n## Code\n\n`src/continuation.py` supplies exact rational wedge/compound operations, the orbit compiler, an integrity checker, affine snapshot and fixed affine closure calculations, exact separating families, and a numerical representative-based updater.\n\nThe exported certificate checker verifies seed inclusion, genuine word provenance, the equality of ratio wedges to exported rows, independent row rank, positivity, and every transport identity. Stochastic normalization is checked separately when the library represents one instrument. It should not be imposed across outcomes belonging to different actions.\n\n`example.py` demonstrates the two-coordinate family and a rewrite rejected by the old information contract. `check_exported.py` reconstructs the exported objects without rerunning the compiler and checks their identities.\n\n## Executed evidence\n\n40 unit/adversarial test methods passed. The reproduction script checked 5 exact family sizes, 30 generic instruments, 360 extra exact words, 6 sharp factor-two fixtures, 128 histories of 256 steps, 72 perturbed histories, and exact hidden-coordinate recovery at 3 sizes. The conventional mode-aware control is included in the tests.\n\n`results/generic_certificates.json` retains all generated generic matrices and signatures. `results/long_horizon_raw.json` contains every initial distribution and branch-label sequence; its first 12 output steps are recorded for each history. The scripts reproduce all other outputs from fixed seeds.\n\nThe long-history experiment supplies labels externally. It tests conditional continuation, not prediction of the distribution of labels, language-model training, or superiority on an RSI benchmark.\n\n## Important boundaries\n\nThe model and branch maps are known. Initial signature acquisition is not free. Exact real-coordinate counts are not bit counts. The generic representative solver may use n-dimensional temporary workspace even when persistent state is smaller. General real-algebraic rewrite admission is proved decidable but not implemented as a scalable solver. General nonlinear gain minimization is not implemented. No measured future-improvement-productivity advantage over an equally informed controller, universal method dominance, or T9 status is established.\n"}

It adds navigation; it does not add a theorem, an external review, a proof-assistant certificate, or a new novelty claim. The authoritative mathematical text is [`manuscript/aelyraith3.tex`](manuscript/aelyraith3.tex), with the typeset manuscript beside it. [`THEOREM_INDEX.json`](THEOREM_INDEX.json) supplies machine-readable result entries with exact TeX labels.\n\n## The contract to review first\n\nStates are columns in the full simplex `Omega = {x >= 0: e*x = 1}`, with `e` the all-ones row. A finite, known library of strictly positive `n x n` matrices acts by `F_a(x) = T_a*x/(e*T_a*x)`. A protected readout is `(beta*x)/(alpha*x)`, where every entry of `alpha` is strictly positive; `beta` can have either sign. Normalization across outcome branches is an additional obligation for a stochastic instrument, imposed separately for each action.\n\nEquivalence means equality of **protected conditional values for every finite supplied branch word**, including the empty word. It does not automatically mean equality of branch probabilities, distributions of histories, unconditional rewards, or every planning objective. An application to an actual agent must justify its finite positive model and correspondence to real operations independently.\n\nThe exact results are mathematical arguments under these hypotheses. Rational computations check finite instances and certificate identities; floating-point histories check finite numerical cases. Neither alone certifies every written argument or publication priority.\n\n## A useful reading order\n\n| Review goal | Manuscript location | Supporting files |\n|---|---|---|\n| Understand the object being preserved | Section 1, Definition 1.1 (`def:equiv`), equations `eq:branch`, `eq:readout` | `CLAIMS.md` |\n| Audit the finite complete compiler | Section 2, Theorem 2.1 (`thm:exterior`), equations `eq:wedge`–`eq:signature` | `compile_ratios`, `compile_exterior`, `ExteriorCertificate.verify`; `check_exported.py` |\n| Separate signature length from nonlinear dimension | Section 3, Proposition 3.1 (`prop:fiber`) and Theorem 3.2 (`thm:dimension`) | `fiber_matrix`, `reconstruct_fiber_float`, `jacobian_rank` |\n| Check the sharp initial-information law | Section 4, Lemma 4.1 (`lem:ratio`) and Theorem 4.2 (`thm:two`) | `snapshot_space`, `factor_two_fixture`; `SnapshotTests` |\n| Audit the explicit memory gap and fair control | Section 5, Theorem 5.1 (`thm:family`), including “A fair conventional control” | `separation_family`, `Family.signature`, `Family.compact_step`, `affine_closure`; mode-aware test |\n| Audit the rewrite and exact inverse | Section 6, Theorem 6.1 (`thm:rewrite`), equations `eq:perturb`, `eq:inverse`, `eq:recover` | `reconstruct_hidden_from_B_readouts`; `RewriteTests` |\n| Evaluate finite precision rather than exact dimension | Section 7, Theorem 7.1 (`thm:approxjump`) and `eq:quant` | `results/rewrite_approximation.csv`, `results/long_horizon.csv` |\n| Distinguish exact compatibility from a sufficient span test | Section 8, Theorem 8.1 (`thm:admit`), `eq:QE`, `eq:suff`; Proposition 8.2 (`prop:all`) | explicit counterexample and `test_span_admission_not_necessary` |\n| Audit an approximate continuation bound | Section 9, Theorem 9.1 (`thm:robust`), equations `eq:residual`, `eq:boundC`, `eq:robust` | Written sufficient bound; no generic robust solver is delivered |\n| Evaluate a recursive promotion claim | Section 10, `eq:gate`, vertex counterexample, bounded protocol | `test_vertex_promotion_failure`; no generic gain optimizer is delivered |\n| Inspect evidence and novelty boundaries | Sections 11–12; Appendices A–C | `results/summary.json`, raw certificates/histories, `LITERATURE_AUDIT.md` |\n\n## What the finite certificate actually checks\n\n`src/continuation.py` contains the mathematical reference code. For each supplied readout `(beta, alpha)`, the compiler spans the orbit of `beta wedge alpha` under the second compound matrices `C2(T_a)`. It selects actual orbit rows and retains their numerator/denominator pairs and word provenance. The global signature comprises their ratios. The exterior basis has at most `n*(n-1)/2` rows, but its length is not the intrinsic nonlinear dimension and is not a physical state count.\n\n`ExteriorCertificate.verify()` checks all of the following: branch positivity and dimensions; full row rank; seed-row coverage; positive stored denominators; agreement between each ratio wedge and its exterior row; genuine word provenance; and every identity `R*C2(T_a) = H_a*R`. Genuine provenance is needed for the converse implication, while seed coverage and transport establish completeness for all words. The checker permits outcomes from several actions and therefore does **not** impose one global stochastic normalization. `check_exported.py` adds normalization for the supplied two-outcome instruments.\n\nExact entries should be `sympy.Rational` or integers. Constructing a rational from a binary float can preserve that float's exact binary value rather than an intended decimal. For example, use `sp.Rational(1, 100)` for delta, rather than an unexamined float conversion. The exported matrix entries are rational strings; reconstruct them as rational data, not by evaluating arbitrary code.\n\n### Word and index conventions\n\nBranch indices are zero-based. For the explicit family, `0` means A and `1` means B. A word `(a1, ..., aL)` is chronological, so its state product is `T_aL * ... * T_a1`. Corresponding row products therefore multiply matrices in reverse chronological order. `Ratio.word` retains chronological provenance. Changing this convention can create a plausible-looking but incorrect certificate.\n\nThe computed basis need not have the same row scaling as the manuscript's hand-selected basis. Consequently, a transport matrix need not match a printed transport entry-by-entry. Check `R*C2(T) = H*R` in the actual basis.\n\n## The three memory contracts\n\nFor the explicit Hadamard family, `n` is a power of two with `n >= 4`. The constants are `c=1/2`, `tau=1/4`, `gamma=kappa=1/8`, and `lambda=1/(8*n)`. With feature coordinates `z=F*x`, its exact global compact memory is `(u,v) = (z1, z2/(1+tau*z3))`.\n\n| Resource | Minimum for the unperturbed family | Meaning |\n|---|---:|---|\n| Continuous exact nonlinear recurrent memory | 2 real coordinates | Global for this family; the general local rank theorem is only local at regular interior points |\n| Fixed affine initial snapshot | 3 real scalars | Initialization need not update these scalars from themselves |\n| Fixed self-updating affine memory | `n-1` real scalars | Fixed affine encoding on the entire initial simplex; arbitrary nonlinear decoding/update functions are permitted |\n\nA conventional mode-aware controller can acquire three initial affine values, compute the compact statistic, and subsequently use at most one scalar plus a mode flag. The large gap is therefore not a performance advantage over every conventional implementation. Coordinate counts exclude acquisition, model/code storage, temporary workspace, and precision costs.\n\n`jacobian_rank(cert, x)` returns the rank at the supplied exact state. A single evaluation is not a general algorithm for proving that point regular or for proving a global minimum chart exists. A numerical representative returned by `reconstruct_fiber_float` is any compatible witness, not recovery of the true hidden state. Its feasibility tolerance is a numerical check, and generic updates can use `n`-dimensional temporary workspace.\n\n## The rewrite result and its engineering interpretation\n\nFor `0 < delta < 1/8`, replacing B by `B_delta = B + delta*f.T*a/n` leaves branch masses and individual/aggregate characteristic polynomials unchanged, yet makes complete conditional behavior injective on the entire simplex. This raises the continuous exact minimum to `n-1`. The inverse reconstructs hidden coordinates from `n-3` successive B readouts plus the old initial and next-A values. The inverse becomes ill-conditioned for small delta or deep coordinates; exact recoverability is not a finite-precision stability claim.\n\nThe old compact controller, initialized with the true old statistic, still has output error at most `8*delta/3` for every word and time. Quantization of its contraction adds at most `Delta/(2*(1-kappa))` under the analyzed rounding assumptions. The finite-bit statement `2*log2(1/epsilon)+O(1)` concerns deterministic worst-state accuracy in this explicit family and excludes code, model, acquisition, and branch metadata.\n\n## Compatibility and deployment boundaries\n\nThe exact rewrite test quantifies over **feasible decomposable wedges of equivalent simplex states**. A linear transport-span test is sufficient but not necessary. Failure of the span test alone is not an impossibility certificate. A genuine failure witness consists of two feasible states in one old fiber with different new protected behavior.\n\nThe general compatibility condition is a finite quadratic implication over rational data, decidable in principle by real quantifier elimination. A scalable general quantifier-elimination implementation is not included. Likewise, Section 10's gain gate requires an actual lower bound on the full feasible uncertainty set. Its vertex example shows why checking only vertices can be unsound for a difference of linear-fractional utilities. The package does not implement a general nonlinear gain minimizer.\n\nFor the robust theorem, denominator lower bounds must be valid and positive; represented states must be feasible or a separate off-image update extension must be justified. Lifetime bounds require the stated common contraction and genuine local error charges. Small residuals by themselves do not establish a stable all-horizon controller.\n\n## Reproduction and evidence interpretation\n\nRun from the repository root in an isolated environment:\n\n```bash\npython -m pip install -r requirements.txt\npython -m unittest discover -s tests -v\npython check_exported.py\npython example.py\n```\n\n`python run_checks.py` regenerates the experiment outputs in `results/`; copy the repository first if preserving the supplied evidence bytes matters. The recorded original environment and finite counts are in `results/summary.json`. The release reports 40 test methods, five exact family sizes, 30 generic instruments, 360 extra exact words, six factor-two fixtures, 128 histories of 256 steps, 72 perturbed histories, and hidden recovery at three sizes. These are source-reported observations until independently rerun. Any new run should retain its actual versions, commands, exit status, and log separately from the original record.\n\nThe simulations supply labels externally. They do not train an LLM, predict history probabilities, benchmark a frontier agent, measure research productivity, establish universal method dominance, or establish a T9 rating. A targeted literature audit is a scoped comparison, not proof of worldwide publication priority. The creative author attribution and personal dedication are preserved source metadata and are not mathematical evidence.\n"}

It is useful to an AI agent as a model of information sufficiency, a source of checkable small examples, and a target for theorem review. It is not an agent runtime, trained model, or measured improvement to a language model.\n\n## Choose a route\n\n| Task | Read first | Execute or inspect next | Report |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Explain the result | `README.md`, `CLAIMS.md` | `EXPERT_GUIDE.md`, manuscript | State the known-positive-library assumptions and resource comparison |\n| Audit the proof | `THEOREM_INDEX.json`, TeX | Named lemmas/theorems and their dependencies | Distinguish a proof issue from an implementation issue |\n| Verify supplied certificates | `check_exported.py` | `python check_exported.py` | Exact checker scope and actual exit code |\n| Review implementation | `src/continuation.py` | Unit tests and exact example | Exact arithmetic versus numerical solver behavior |\n| Reproduce experiments | `run_checks.py`, original summary | Run in a disposable repository copy | New environment, output comparisons, any differences |\n| Design a new model | Compiler APIs and manuscript hypotheses | Validate a small exact instance first | Positivity, protected outputs, normalization, costs |\n| Study a rewrite | `CLAIMS.md`, rewrite sections in TeX | Explicit perturbed family and tests | Exact sufficiency versus finite-accuracy tolerance |\n\n## Minimal exact Python example\n\nRun from the repository root after installing `requirements.txt`:\n\n```python\nimport sympy as sp\nfrom src.continuation import compile_exterior, normalize, separation_family\n\nmodel = separation_family(8)\ncert = compile_exterior([model.A, model.B], [model.F[1, :]])\nassert cert.verify()\nx = sp.Matrix(range(1, 9)) / 36\nmemory = model.signature(x)\nfor label in [0, 0, 1, 0]:\n    x = normalize([model.A, model.B][label], x)\n    memory = model.compact_step(memory, label)\n    assert memory == model.signature(x)\nprint(memory)\n```\n\n`model.compact_step` is the explicit two-coordinate controller for the unperturbed family. Calling it after creating `separation_family(n, delta > 0)` does not make it an exact controller for the rewrite. Its approximation guarantee must be read under the manuscript's stated conditions.\n\n## API map\n\n| Entry point in `src/continuation.py` | Purpose | Caution |\n|---|---|---|\n| `Ratio(beta, alpha, word)` | Linear-fractional readout plus chronological word provenance | Compiler seeds require an empty word and strictly positive denominator row |\n| `compile_exterior(branches, readouts)` | Wrapper for affine protected readouts | Readouts are row matrices; default denominator is the all-ones row |\n| `compile_ratios(branches, seeds)` | Exact exterior closure for ratio readouts | Finite closure does not imply inexpensive large-model compilation |\n| `ExteriorCertificate.verify()` | Check seed coverage, provenance, row independence, positivity and transport | Does not prove the manuscript or verify an arbitrary proposed semantic claim |\n| `signature_exact(x)` | Evaluate stored ratios at an exact simplex state | Exact normalization is required |\n| `fiber_matrix(z)` | Equalities defining the signature fiber | Feasibility still requires nonnegativity and normalization |\n| `reconstruct_fiber_float(z)` / `update_float(z, branch)` | Numerical representative construction and continuation | LP tolerance is numerical; workspace may be ambient-dimensional |\n| `snapshot_space(cert)` | Initial affine information space | Subtract one for the fixed normalization coordinate; it need not update from itself |\n| `affine_closure(branches, initial)` | Fixed self-updating affine space | Initial row space must include the normalizer |\n| `separation_family(n, delta=0)` | Exact positive family and rank-one rewrite | `n` is a power of two, `n >= 4`; `0 <= delta < 1/8` |\n| `reconstruct_hidden_from_B_readouts(...)` | Exact rewritten hidden-coordinate recovery | Small perturbations and deep histories can be numerically ill-conditioned |\n\n## Read recorded results correctly\n\n- `results/exact_certificates.json`: exact rational family certificates checked independently of recompilation by `check_exported.py`.\n- `results/generic_certificates.json`: generated generic matrices and signature objects; these are additional records, not the same checker input.\n- `results/long_horizon_raw.json`: initial distributions, labels and first twelve outputs for each history. Labels are supplied, not predicted.\n- `results/summary.json`: original environment and aggregate counts. `unit_test_methods: 40` is recorded evidence; rerun tests before claiming a fresh pass.\n\nUse fixed seeds to compare mathematical outputs; elapsed times, environment strings and floating residuals need not match byte for byte. Work from a disposable copy for `run_checks.py` because it rewrites `results/` next to itself.\n\n## Context budget\n\nA small context can load this file, `CLAIMS.md`, and `llms.txt`. For focused code work, add only the named functions and tests. For theorem work, load the complete relevant proof and every dependency from the TeX; the summary is insufficient. For a comprehensive review, load the complete TeX, source, tests, claim ledger, literature audit, and recorded results needed for the specific claim.\n\n## Completion checklist\n\nA useful agent report names: the question answered; files inspected; exact commands actually run; results or counterexamples; assumptions; and remaining gaps. Preserve scientific attribution. Do not claim formal verification, external replication, broad benchmark superiority, or universal novelty from these artifacts alone.\n"}
