Release and the three endings
Release and the three endings · lines 257–282
Three endings are available:
Constructed. The named admission condition, retarded map, support, and stated-order gauge identity are proved.
Proved obstructed. An inadmissible joint wavefront set or a nonzero defect blocks a claimed construction on the frozen algebra.
Unresolved. Field content, insertion domain, normalization, or an essential map is unspecified.
The ending reached is (1), precisely within the release box. A missing higher-order map is not a no-go. An incomplete second-order expression is not an invariant. A defect cannot be removed by shrinking the frozen algebra after the calculation, or by selecting a contact afterward.
Here counts background perturbation order and counts quantum contractions. Both are formal. Equality modulo means coefficient equality, not a numerical remainder estimate. Admission through and covariance through are deliberately different statements.
