Entanglement E2 — Two Entanglement Entropies of the Conjugate Weil Pair

The admissible pair sector ($\log 2$, conditional) and the full residual rank are different objects.

Overview

The companion entanglement-note and the orthogonality paper E1 establish results about the entanglement of the closed conjugate Weil pair $\{c, q-c\}$. A careful reading shows that two genuinely different entanglement entropies are in play, attached to two different projections of the pair.

Conflating them produces an apparent tension between a $\log 2$ figure and a depth-dependent $\log r_{\mathrm{pair}}(n)$ figure that in fact rest on different hypotheses. The separation is not cosmetic: the two objects live on projections of different rank, have different physical roles, and have different epistemic status.

Scope. This paper separates the two entropies and fixes the epistemic stratification. The authoritative technical reference is the preprint linked above.

Two distinct objects

Core result 1 — Admissible pair entropy under (H-carrier) and (H-inv)

Under two explicit, independent hypotheses — (H-carrier) and (H-inv) — the proto-state on $\mathcal{A}_c \otimes \mathcal{A}_c$ is the spin-$\tfrac12$ singlet $$ |\Omega_c\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \bigl( |\xi_c\rangle \otimes |q-\xi_c\rangle - |q-\xi_c\rangle \otimes |\xi_c\rangle \bigr), $$ its reduced state is $\rho^{\mathrm{adm}}_c = \tfrac12 \mathbf{1}_2$, and $$ S_{\mathrm{ent}}^{\mathrm{adm}} = \log 2. $$

(H-carrier), stated by E2 itself, is the two-clause hypothesis that the admissible pair sector is carried by the atomic Fourier triple and that its pair plane carries the spin-$\tfrac12$ module $V_{1/2}$ of $2I$; it is derived nowhere in the corpus. (H-inv), stated and left open by Q3, is diagonal $2I$-invariance of the proto-state; under it, Q3's Theorem 3.2 identifies the unique invariant vector as the singlet via Schur's lemma applied to the Clebsch–Gordan decomposition $V_{1/2} \otimes V_{1/2} = V_0 \oplus V_1$. Neither hypothesis is derived from Born–Infeld indiscernibility, from admissibility, or from any other principle in the corpus. The $\log 2$ statement is conditional on both (H-carrier) and (H-inv) for general canonical blocks.

Core result 2 — Full residual-rank entropy

The residual-rank statement $S_{\mathrm{ent}}(n) = \log r_{\mathrm{pair}}(n)$ has a stratified status:

$[\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{res}}]$ has a status parallel to the conditional hypotheses $[\mathrm{H\text{-}color}]$ and $[\mathrm{H\text{-}ext}]$ elsewhere in the programme.

Position in the programme

Constituent of the entanglement sub-programme. Builds on E1 (orthogonality and matched-block flat spectrum), Q5a-O2 (pure-Fourier-mode structure of the pre-saturation pipeline), O23 (conditional adjoint-dimension theorem on a supplied carrier), O18 (equivariant parity and fixed-probe no-go), O17 (equal residual dimensions, own toy model), the candidate metaplectic dilation formerly used in O31 (excluded here without relying on O31), and Q3 (singlet identification, conditional on (H-inv)); (H-carrier) is E2's own explicit hypothesis.
