Theorem: Failure of reconstruction from scheduler consistency

En08-A@1#thm:main
There are local record networks with:
acyclic dependency;
bounded degree, finite support, and finitely many local reduction shapes;
termination of every finite experiment;
identical joint records under every legal interleaving;
exact operational sensitivity equal to strict reachability;
no intervention-induced change outside the dependency future;
local point distinguishability and finite pasts for finite collections of records.
These properties do not imply that:
a one-step spatial section cannot be a Euclidean metric ball on a discrete slice;
a generated reachability cone is quadratic or Lorentzian;
interpolation or a manifold topology exists;
an otherwise unspecified type system enforces causal availability.
Proof. The network construction is Theorem thm:network. The ball and orthant realizations are Propositions prop:ball and prop:orthant. A two-event chain already lacks interpolation. The operational assumptions do not specify typing rules; Section sec:typing gives a refinement for which the desired availability statement can actually be proved.
