Fix , , and . Let

The source-to-wing paths are

They are strictly timelike. Each wing has a vertical retained storage path from time to .

At , there are qubits and a memory qubit . The memory accompanies the left-moving register and is never measured or acted on by the payload. Its purpose is to make the retained quantum-information content completely explicit.

At and , respectively, local input registers select between two measurement settings. These are local input ports, not remotely supplied control wires. Default preparations are product preparations.

The named quantum output is , and the named classical outputs include the retained settings and the two locally acquired outcomes.
