For a specified scalar two-point distribution ,

is definable because is a compact smooth test density. That is a scalar pairing, not the tensor two-edge product, and it does not determine the interaction Hessian, normalization, or graph extension.

Here the tensor edge prescription has been explicitly chosen. It does not provide a positive state for the full gauge multiplet, ghost and scalar time-ordered blocks, or a complete family of time-ordered products.
