    "abstract": "Let X be a smooth complex hypersurface and let Z be the complete reduced fibre of its Gauss map over a tangent hyperplane W. In the complete O_X(m) embedding, assume that the point span of Z contains the order-s osculating space at every support, with 1 <= s <= m. We prove the sharp floor mult_W(X^vee) >= s^d |Z| >= s^d binom(d+m,d). Absorption forces order-(s+1) contact; the classical multiplicity-Milnor formula and a local Milnor lower bound give the dual multiplicity estimate, while exact tangent absorption gives the branch floor. For every d,m,s we construct equality examples with proper point span, exact reduced Gauss fibre, ordinary section singularities, and the stated weighted tangent-cone cycle. The construction gives a sufficient nonminimal hypersurface degree. No equality classification, positive-characteristic extension, exhaustive priority claim, human peer review, or formal verification is claimed."
