Overview
This companion note sits logically between the Schur reduction of the projective residue and the physical identification of the chiral generator. The Schur reduction writes the projective endomorphism as $E_\Pi = -\Pi_S\,D\,(1 - P)\,D\,\Pi_S^{*}$, so the eliminated block $1 - P$ controls the three-generation split coefficient $u$; the absolute value $|u|$, the Yukawa sector, and the mass spectrum are kept downstream.
Writing the self-adjoint projector family as a jet $1 - P(s) = Q_0 + s Q_1 + s^2 Q_2 + O(s^3)$ along the $J_\Pi$-odd modulus $s$, the projector constraints force a constrained form, and the chiral generator is identified — not as a new selector, but as the infinitesimal transported equivariance defect. The split $u \neq 0$ is admissible with $|u|$ left entirely free.
Core results
- Constrained jet. For the self-adjoint projector family, the projector constraints force the first-order coefficient to be a purely off-diagonal Grassmann tangent, $Q_1 = [A, Q_0]$ with $Q_0 Q_1 Q_0 = 0 = (1 - Q_0) Q_1 (1 - Q_0)$, and pin the diagonal blocks of $Q_2$ to $Q_1^2$ with opposite signs.
- Chiral source. Splitting the generator by parity, $A = A_+ + A_-$, the split-sourcing part is $\Pi_{J_\Pi\text{-odd}} Q_1 = [A_-, Q_0]$. The split is dead if and only if $[A_-, Q_0] = 0$, not merely if $Q_1 = 0$: a purely $J_\Pi$-even generator sources nothing.
- Split source. Parity propagation grades the residue jet $E_0$ even, $E_1$ odd, $E_2$ even, so $u(s) = s\,\langle J_3, \{E_0, E_1\}\rangle / \langle J_3, J_3\rangle + O(s^3)$. With phase-free data the mixing coefficient $v$ vanishes identically; a non-zero $v$ requires a complex metaplectic phase.
- Identification of the chiral generator. Because the antiunitary Born–Infeld parity exchanges chiralities, the $J_\Pi$-odd part of the eliminated block has chiral-diagonal component equal to the transported equivariance defect: $[\Pi_{J_\Pi\text{-odd}}(1 - P)]_{LL} = \tfrac12\Delta_\chi(P)$ and, along the modulus, $[\Pi_{J_\Pi\text{-odd}}\dot Q(0)]_{LL} = \tfrac12\partial_s\Delta_\chi(P)|_0$. The generator $A_-$ is therefore the infinitesimal transported chiral defect rate, not a new selector.
- Single remaining target. The value question is reduced to one object: the admissible normalisation of $\partial_s\Delta_\chi(P)|_0$. The magnitude $|u|$ remains dictionary-bound; no value-dictionary object enters the construction.
The constrained jet
For each value of the $J_\Pi$-odd modulus $s$ opened by Lorentzian complexification, the eliminated block $1 - P(s)$ is a self-adjoint projector. Generating the family by conjugation, $1 - P(s) = U(s) Q_0 U(s)^{\dagger}$ with $U = \exp(sA)$, the order-by-order content of $(1-P)^2 = 1-P$ forces $Q_1 = [A, Q_0]$ to be purely off-diagonal with respect to $Q_0$ and pins the diagonal blocks of $Q_2 = \tfrac12[A,[A,Q_0]]$ to $Q_1^2$ with opposite signs. The finite base point $Q_0$ is $J_\Pi$-even, so $u(0) = 0$: the split is a Lorentzian, not a finite-fibre, datum.
The chiral generator
In the chiral splitting $\mathcal{S}_\Pi = \mathcal{S}_L \oplus \mathcal{S}_R$, the Born–Infeld parity $J_\Pi$ exchanges the chiralities. Consequently the $J_\Pi$-odd part of the eliminated block has left-handed diagonal block equal to half the transported equivariance defect $\Delta_\chi(P) = \pi_{LL} - \tau\,\overline{\pi_{RR}}\,\tau^{-1}$ of the Schur reduction. The first-order coefficient therefore carries $\tfrac12\partial_s\Delta_\chi(P)|_0$, identifying the chiral generator $A_-$ with the infinitesimal transported defect rate. Through the split-source formula, the carrier of $u$ is exactly $\partial_s\Delta_\chi(P)|_0$, dressed by the $\mathcal{D}^{\pm}$ transport and projected to the generation triplet as in the localisation of the Schur reduction.
Status and open deliverable
Established. The constrained form of the eliminated-block jet, the off-diagonal Grassmann character of $Q_1$, the opposite-sign $Q_2$ diagonal blocks, the phase-free vanishing of mixing, and the identification of the chiral generator as the transported equivariance defect rate. All identities are verified by exact symbolic and exact-rational computation.
Open. The magnitude $|u|$ is now reduced to a single target: the admissible normalisation of $\partial_s\Delta_\chi(P)|_0$ (the A4-level chiral defect rate that carries the magnitude of the split). The defect rate is the unique structural carrier; its absolute value is not normalised here and remains dictionary-bound.
Relation to the Cosmochrony programme
This note belongs to the fermionic matter sub-programme. It takes up the first open deliverable of the Projective Residue Schur reduction — the explicit Lorentzian eliminated block $1 - P(s)$ — and identifies the chiral generator using the transported equivariance defect of that reduction and the electric genus sign $\mu_\chi^2 < 0$ established in the Born–Infeld saturation margin note. The absolute value $|u|$, the Yukawa sector, and the mass spectrum remain downstream, dictionary-bound questions.
