PHYSICS / Candidate classification draft; universal proof needs specialist review

Orthogonal support splitting and sharp purity bounds for bosonic extensions

Positive-matrix parametrization and purity thresholds under stated extension assumptions, using the manuscript normalization.

Read historical manuscripts, supporting audits and notes according to their roles; consult the handoff for evidence and stage boundaries.

Why we tried it

Understand minimum purity of bosonic symmetric extensions through support splittings and projector structure.

What the evidence shows

Exact examples and finite symbolic controls exist; they are not a proof of the universal support classification.

Where the work stands

The universal classification, novelty and physical hypotheses lack independent expert confirmation; this does not settle MUB existence.

Possible next steps

Audit the classification lemmas and degenerate boundaries, search for low-dimensional counterexamples, and keep ordinary-trace and normalized-purity conventions consistent.

Suggested next steps are untested research questions, not new experimental results. The archive records manuscript provenance, licensing and status.
