Relativistic three-photon spin-resolved standing-wave Dirac transfer, its true conditional final-spin fraction and independently propagated matched spinless rates. Local flipped-branch credit is explicitly weaker than full conditional closure; source-effective curves are optional controls.
Criterion-to-source crosswalk

|---|---|
| F1 | Ahrens et al. (2012), article pp. 043601-1–2, Eqs. (1)–(5), Fig. 1 and three-photon setup paragraph. Standing-wave Dirac sectors, adjacent momentum coupling, prepared spin and n=0→3 inelastic Bragg identity. Rounded incident momentum is a resonance estimate, not an exact hidden target. |
| F2 | Article p. 043601-3, Eqs. (7a,b)–(8), Fig. 3. Conditional fraction is opposite-spin occupation divided by both final-spin n=3 occupations. The analytic effective relation is an optional control, not a required generator. |
| F3 | Article pp. 043601-3–4, Eqs. (9), (12), Fig. 4(a); momentum-mode Klein–Gordon method note [23], p. 043601-5. Independently extracted matched Dirac/spinless rates on a common scale, not copied analytic points or a spin-resolved KG branch. |
| O1, O2, I1, M1 | Article pp. 043601-2–3, Fig. 2, Eqs. (6a,b) and oscillation paragraph. Incident survival and both final-spin time branches. A local spin-changing inference can use the two final-spin branches independently of a separate missing incident-accounting conjunct. |
| O3, I2, M2, M3 | Article p. 043601-3, Eqs. (7a,b)–(8), Fig. 3 and momentum-adjustment paragraph. Momentum-dependent spin composition and supported local flipped-branch strength. Task local-mode credit is narrower than the full conditional object and cannot close that object by implication. |
| O4, O5, I3 | Article pp. 043601-3–4, Eqs. (9), (12), Fig. 4(a), numerical comparison paragraph. Separate Dirac and KG rate outputs; both must be independently auditable before identifying a matched-rate comparison. Either valid branch retains local credit if the other fails. |
| M4, M5, M6 | Article pp. 043601-3–4, role-of-spin paragraphs, Fig. 3, Fig. 4(a,b), Eqs. (7)–(9), (12). Positive spin-coupling mechanism, conditional redistribution and matched spinless rate effect. The full composition conclusion needs the actual full conditional denominator, not only sparse flipped population. |
| M7, V1 | Article p. 043601-2, inelastic Bragg paragraph; pp. 043601-3–4, nonrelativistic comparison and conclusion. Model-specific relativistic three-photon domain; taking a universal nonrelativistic limit is not licensed by qualitative resemblance. |
| V2 | Article p. 043601-2, Eqs. (4)–(5); p. 043601-4, resonance-resolution paragraph; Ahrens et al. (2013), author manuscript Sec. 5.1, pp. 9–11, Fig. 8. Triggered sector/detuning/rate/denominator threats. Follow-up clarifies adopted original data and rounded momentum, not a hidden exact coordinate or extra candidate method. |
Formula and convention notes
With $\hbar=1$ and the source Gaussian-unit convention, $\mathbf A(\mathbf x,t)=-(\mathbf E/k)\cos(\mathbf k\cdot\mathbf x)\sin(ckt)w(t)$ and $i\partial_t\psi=[c(-i\nabla+e\mathbf A/c)\cdot\boldsymbol\alpha+\beta mc^2]\psi$ (Eqs. (1)–(2)). The electron charge is $-e$. Free modes have momentum $\mathbf p+n\mathbf k$, energies $\pm\sqrt{m^2c^4+c^2|\mathbf p+n\mathbf k|^2}$ and prepared/opposite spin projections along $\mathbf E$; the cosine field couples adjacent n with the spinor matrix elements of $\mathbf E\cdot\boldsymbol\alpha$ (Eqs. (3)–(4)).
Three-photon conservation is $\mathbf p\prime=\mathbf p+(n_r-n_l)\mathbf k=\mathbf p+3\mathbf k$, $E(\mathbf p\prime)-E(\mathbf p)=(n_r+n_l)ck=ck$ for $n_r=2$, $n_l=-1$ (Bragg discussion, Eq. (5)). The initial positive-energy prepared-spin n=0 amplitude is one and all other amplitudes zero. Matching the resonant driven case may require justified localization around the rounded momentum; no hidden exact offset is compulsory.
Let $P_{3,\rm prep}=|c_3^{+\uparrow}|^2$, $P_{3,\rm opp}=|c_3^{+\downarrow}|^2$. Then $F_{\rm flip}=P_{3,\rm opp}/(P_{3,\rm prep}+P_{3,\rm opp})$ where the denominator is resolved and nonzero (Eq. (8)). It is conditional on diffraction into n=3, not on the total electron population or incident survival. Consistent reversal of basis arrows preserves prepared/opposite invariants.
Optional perturbative comparator only: with $x=|p_E|/k$ and $\Omega_0=e^3|E|^3/(24m^3c^5k^2)$, $F_{\rm flip}\simeq[1+(25/2)x^2]^{-1}$, $\Omega_D\simeq\Omega_0\sqrt{1+(25/2)x^2}$, $\Omega_{\rm KG}\simeq\Omega_0(5/\sqrt2)x$ (Eqs. (7)–(9), (12)). These are Bragg/short-time effective relations, not substitutes for independently propagated Dirac/KG rate evidence. For the two-level-envelope interpretation $P_3(T)\simeq\sin^2(\Omega_RT/2)$ (Eq. (6b)), state the estimator, time unit and matched pulse convention.
Scope of the source anchors
Source examples verify physical identity and robust structure; their numerical samples, plotting conventions and panel layout are not compulsory candidate deliverables. Reporting, reconstructibility, evidence attribution, conditional validation and Research Closure are examination-defined obligations, not additional results asserted by the article. A derivation or physical entailment is identified as such rather than presented as a directly printed source formula.

This follow-up clarifies the identity of the adopted data and the resonance setting. It does not prescribe an analytic comparator or an exact incident momentum, and is not supplied to candidates as an offline reference.
