5 Simple initial waves; independent actual-law data

Let Ac(s)=1A_c(s)=1 on ∣s∣≤.3|s|\le.3, Ac(s)=1−B9(5(∣s∣−.3))A_c(s)=1-B_9(5(|s|-.3)) until .5.5, and zero outside. Set Zc=176818/230945Z_c=176818/230945 and φ=Ac/Zc\varphi=A_c/\sqrt{Z_c}. The supplied wave is

Ψ0=ψ2 ζ(u)γ(Z−z0)eiMvλSφ(S) eiMCCφ(C+1),γ(z)=π−1/4e−z2/2. \Psi_0=\frac{\psi}{2}\,\zeta(u)\gamma(Z-z_0) e^{iMv\lambda S}\varphi(S)\, e^{iM_CC}\varphi(C+1), \quad \gamma(z)=\pi^{-1/4}e^{-z^2/2}.

The factor 1/21/2 is the product of two flat rotor waves. No shaped rotor wave is supplied. ζ\zeta is the retained harmonic source ground wave.

In relative coordinates, the actual law is

f0(X,Z,S)g(u∣X,Z,S) κR(dR∣X,Z,S,u) κC(dC∣X,Z,S,u,R). f_0(X,Z,S)g(u\mid X,Z,S)\, \kappa_R(dR\mid X,Z,S,u)\, \kappa_C(dC\mid X,Z,S,u,R).

Here f0f_0 is a nonnegative density with integral one. Define Vj=∣Djf0∣(R3)V_j=|D_j f_0|(\R^3) as the distributional total variation of its zero extension, for j=X,Z,Sj=X,Z,S, including boundary jumps, and B=VX+VZ+VSB=V_X+V_Z+V_S. The admitted same-support total-variation neighbourhood retains absolute continuity of the active configuration marginal, as required for the almost-sure flow; allowed singular passive conditionals retain their separately stated supports.

The original class is retained: support [−1,1]2×[−1/4,1/4][-1,1]^2\times[-1/4,1/4], VX,VZ≤2V_X,V_Z\le2, VS≤8V_S\le8, B≤12B\le12, f0≤2f_0\le2, and 0≤g≤2∣ζ∣20\le g\le2|\zeta|^2 normalized. κR\kappa_R is any normalized law on the reference circle; κC\kappa_C is any normalized law on [−1.25,−.75][-1.25,-.75]. Neither must be Born, independent, or absolutely continuous. Taking R0=0R_0=0 embeds the original detector positions without even a common translation. An independent actual orientation law can also be appended to an original bare-position ensemble. Its translated mixture preserves the density cap, VZ,VSV_Z,V_S, circular rotor-marginal variation at most two, and rotor-marginal density at most one; its mixed source conditional preserves the source domination. Zero-extension rotor variation and the raw total BB need not remain unchanged. The independent-orientation extension is a separate corollary because the active proof uses precisely the circular variation, marginal bound and density cap. This is not permission to correlate RR arbitrarily with bare xx while keeping the relative law unchanged. For example, R=xR=x would collapse the relative seed and is outside the declared relative-density class. The same-support 10−410^{-4} actual-law neighbourhood is charged once.
