Back to manuscript

The five p14r directions span the five pair-symmetric 4-derivative 4D structures (rank 5), so span membership is automatic. The sharper statement is a constraint. Longitudinality imposes rank-3 linear conditions on the coordinates , which leaves a 2-dimensional transverse subspace with basis and . The individual pole coordinates are not transverse:

Their sum is transverse:

This is the Ward-type statement the ch identity needs at this order. It is incomplete without D11.
