Shadow Theory

One input can sustain two stable states.

A sharp curvature threshold gives uniqueness even at equality. Below it, the three-node realization exhibits bistability, with a complete stationary count in the stated transverse-convexity regime.

Sharp Uniqueness and Bistability in Driven Adaptive Spectral Carriers

A sharp curvature threshold gives uniqueness even at equality. Below it, the three-node realization exhibits bistability, with a complete stationary count in the stated transverse-convexity regime.

The operator and dynamical results use the forms, metrics, inputs and readouts stated in each chapter. Numerical checks test those realizations. Recurrence across readouts does not identify a single microscopic mechanism.

  2. Sharp Curvature and Complete Dynamical Stability

    Stationary memory elimination yields the endpoint; the mobility–inertia theorem returns all amplitude and memory directions.

  3. An Exact Bistability Threshold on Three Nodes

    A transverse convexity argument counts the complete stationary set and exposes a misleading sector-stable candidate.

  4. Both Folds Are Full Dynamical Saddle-Nodes

    The complete left and right null vectors establish nondegeneracy and two independent cubics retain all eight modes.

  5. Full-State Basins, Powered Switches and Lost Readout Information

    A tilted barrier controls basin membership while two equally powered sources retain distinct full-feedback responses.

  6. The Three-Node Example in Numbers

    Exact scalar brackets, complete stationary spectra, basin preparations, finite switching trajectories and replay.
