SigmaLayer/PointerArena: the compact Kähler pointer — arena, regions, ready state (brick 0) #
Category: dynamical measurement — the smooth-Hamiltonian witness route
(specs/pointer-witness-plan.md brick 0; the ★ L backlog item, route confirmed 2026-08-03).
The torus-flux correction (2026-08-02, SigmaLayer/PiecewiseHamiltonian.lean) showed the landed
witnesses' register translations are symplectic but not globally Hamiltonian on T²
(ι_Xω = a·dp closed-not-exact, ∮dp ≠ 0). The confirmed repair replaces the torus register
with a projective pointer ℂℙ^K = ℙ(ℂ^{K+1}) — compact Kähler with H¹ = 0, where unitary
one-parameter groups are globally Hamiltonian flows. This module is the kinematic floor of that
witness:
Pointer K— the pointer manifoldℂℙ^K;readyState = [f₀]and, for each outcomej : Fin K,recordState j = [f_{j+1}](reusingvertexPoint/momentMap_vertex);recordRegion j = {q | 1/2 < m_{j+1}(q)}andreadyRegion δ = {q | 1 − δ < m₀(q)}via the pointer moment map — open (so a continuous propagator can land in them stably), measurable, pairwise disjoint, each containing its vertex, each of positive Fubini–Study measure (fubiniStudyMeasure_pos_of_isOpen, full support);PointerArena N K = KSigma N × Pointer KwithpointerLiouville = kMuL ⊗ μ_FS^{ptr}, a probability measure; the arena-level ready/record cylinders and their measures.
⚠️ Honest scope. Kinematics only: no propagator, no Hamiltonian, and no record is created
here — that is bricks 1–4 of pointer-witness-plan.md. The 1/2 threshold makes disjointness a
one-line simplex fact (two moment coordinates cannot both exceed 1/2); nothing downstream may
read q ∈ recordRegion j as "the pointer IS [f_{j+1}]" — transition states (all moment
coordinates ≤ 1/2) are legitimate pointer points lying outside every region by design, which
is exactly the exceptional room no_everywhere_correlation
(SigmaLayer/MeasurementConstraints.lean) forces every continuous exact-record dynamics to
have. Contrast the piecewise horn: the openness of these regions is the property whose torus
analogue (discrete register arcs) fed shearEvolve_not_continuous
(SigmaLayer/ShearDiscontinuity.lean).

The pointer manifold ℂℙ^K = ℙ(ℂ^{K+1}): one ready direction f₀ and K record
directions f₁, …, f_K. Compact Kähler with H¹ = 0 — the property that makes unitary
one-parameter groups globally Hamiltonian, killing the torus-flux obstruction.

Record regions #
The record region for outcome j: pointer states whose f_{j+1} moment coordinate
dominates, m_{j+1}(q) > 1/2. Open by design — a continuous propagator can land in it with a
stable margin.
Equations
- CSD.RecordLayer.recordRegion j = {q : CSD.RecordLayer.Pointer K | 1 / 2 < CSD.LF4.momentMap q j.succ}
Instances For
Distinct record regions are disjoint: two moment coordinates cannot both exceed
1/2.
The record state lies in its own record region.
Every record region has positive Fubini–Study measure (openness + full support).
The ready region #
The ready region at margin δ: pointer states with m₀(q) > 1 − δ. A genuinely open
neighbourhood of the ready state — the positive-measure ready region the landing theorem
(brick 3) will start from.
Equations
- CSD.RecordLayer.readyRegion δ = {q : CSD.RecordLayer.Pointer K | 1 - δ < CSD.LF4.momentMap q 0}
Instances For
The ready region has positive Fubini–Study measure for every positive margin.
With margin δ ≤ 1/2, the ready region is disjoint from every record region: being ready
and carrying a record exclude each other.
The arena #
The pointer arena: the ontic sector Σ = ℂℙ^{N-1} × T² (base + selector fibre) times the
pointer ℂℙ^K. A product of compact Kähler manifolds, real dimension 2(N−1) + 2 + 2K —
even, with no odd factor for the parity check to catch.
Equations
Instances For
The arena Liouville measure μL = (μ_FS ⊗ vol_{T²}) ⊗ μ_FS^{ptr}.
Equations
Instances For
The arena-level ready cylinder: pointer in the ready region, sector free.
Equations
Instances For
The arena-level record cylinder for outcome j.
Equations
Instances For
The arena ready cylinder's Liouville measure is the pointer-side FS measure of the ready
region (the sector factor integrates to 1).
The apparatus-ready state has positive Liouville measure — the structural property the
GlobalBasin arena provably lacks (globalBasin_ae_total: a.e. every point there already
carries a record) and the reason the pointer factor exists at all.
