Equation (eq:finite-coefficient) is a defined coefficient of the constructed finite-width free algebra, independent of its inverse-coordinate or integrated-kernel presentation. It does not constitute a positive state on the full indefinite gravitational algebra.

Proof. Each propagated smooth test is smooth on the compact observation region, and the integral is finite. The finite-width product theorem justifies the contractions. Actual-functional presentation equality and linearity give presentation independence.

The tensor is indefinite, so positivity of for arbitrary graviton polynomials has not been asserted and does not follow from scalar vacuum positivity.
