Linearized observable interface at . The scalar entry of the linearized gauge map vanishes for the chosen zero-scalar background. Compact conserved tensor tests annihilate pure gauges, and field-equation tests annihilate free solutions. The quotient supplies linear functionals, not a classification of the nonlinear relational observable or its quantum realization.
