For the documentary question, a replacement would have to be an explicitly identified alternative to:

  1. the bilinear source symbol of , or

  2. the selected inverse ,

together with a calculation showing removal of the named XI-G witness mechanism while stating the retained normalization, domains, and observation data.

The preparation is not described here as a replacement of the frozen bulk symbol or inverse. It is the existing density-prepared source to be analyzed.

The defensible documentary conclusion is:

No verified replacement satisfying this description is identified in the supplied record.

This statement is not a theorem that no such replacement can exist, and it is not a reason to stop analysis of the existing prepared source.
