10 Every admitted preparation-clock position is harmless for a reason

The old preparation clock CC is retained but no longer controls the active programme. It is an ordinary free particle with MC=108M_C=10^8. In its co-moving coordinate, the free propagator and one-dimensional Sobolev bound give, through time three,

e0≤3(112+4000)2MC,e1≤3(4000+190000)2MC,∣C˙−1∣≤e1MC(1−e0)<3×10−11. e_0\le\frac{3(112+4000)}{2M_C},\quad e_1\le\frac{3(4000+190000)}{2M_C},\quad |\dot C-1|\le\frac{e_1}{M_C(1-e_0)}<3\times10^{-11}.

The displacement error is below 9×10−119\times10^{-11}, less than the .05.05 plateau clearance. A first-exit argument proves the tube for every C0∈[−1.25,−.75]C_0\in[-1.25,-.75]. No averaging over ∣χC∣2|\chi_C|^2 is used. Its correlations are irrelevant to active histories by Theorem 6.1.

The active writer clock is SS. Its actual distribution is controlled by the original joint cap f0≤2f_0\le2, not by a new Born-clock premise. A pointwise trajectory tube for every S0S_0 is neither claimed nor needed by the active-law current proof.
