Gaussian and ordered inverse operations

Shadow Theory and the Wilson Yang–Mills Construction: A Source–Readout Reconstruction

Gaussian and ordered inverse operations

The supplied Gaussian constructions retain their actual finite coordinate spaces, precision matrices, means and support windows. In particular a nonsymmetric auxiliary matrix is not identified with its symmetric covariance. If the source uses

C = (P + P ∗)/2,
μ = −P ∗b,

C = (P + P ∗)/2,
μ = −P ∗b,

then both C and P remain in the realized history. For any comparison vector v and E = AP −I the exact identity is μ −v = E∗v −P ∗(Av + b),

when A = A∗. Indeed E∗= P ∗A −I, so the right side is −v −P ∗b. Replacing μ by −Cb generally changes this identity. A coordinate isomorphism transports the mean as a vector and covariance as a form with the stated metric; the original Gaussian integral and all normalized insertions then recover by change of variables, with its Jacobian retained. No probability law is assigned to a nonsymmetric covariance.

For the source’s approximate inverse C of A, put S = AC −I. On its original convergence domain, for example ∥S∥< 1 in the stated submultiplicative norm,

C−1 −A =
X
k≥1
(−S)kA.

C−1 −A =
X
k≥1
(−S)kA.

To prove this, AC = I + S gives C−1 = (I + S)−1A. The finite geometric identity has residual (−S)n+1(I + S)−1A, whose norm tends to zero. Subtracting the zeroth term gives the displayed ordered series. The terminal factor A cannot be removed or commuted through S without an additional identity. Under an isomorphic coordinate readout each finite ordered product conjugates exactly, and the norm-convergent series follows in the transported norm.

Local determinant diagnostics retain the original supported contribution together with every complementary arm required by the complete determinant identity. A diagnostic contribution alone is not the full log determinant. Likewise a quiet-coordinate condition is evaluated in the actual source coordinates: under z = Oz′ it becomes the condition on Oz′, not the same componentwise bound on z′. Orthogonal invariance of a Euclidean norm does not imply invariance of a coordinatewise box. All whole-color-block restrictions and source window conditions are therefore retained before inverse or determinant transport.
