Proper-Delay Spectra Majorize Subspace Rotation: Exact Finsler Resource Laws for Passive Networks
A subspace quantum speed limit usually records only the largest canonical angle. Passive scattering theory usually records either the largest proper delay or their total trace. Both compressions discard how a rank-k routing event is distributed across modes. We derive the missing vector law: the integrated spectral-spread vector weakly majorizes twice the canonical-angle vector. More strongly, for every symmetric gauge Φ and every pair of k-subspaces in N ≥ 2k dimensions, we solve the variational problem exactly: the minimum spectral-spread action is 2Φ(β). The same value holds for the leading-proper-delay action under positive generators, and one constant coupled-mode path minimizes all gauges simultaneously. The Ky Fan members recover the bandwidth limit, strengthen the trace-action law, and expose every intermediate modal budget. An exact nonnegative slack decomposition separates common-mode delay, inefficient spectral coupling, and nongeodesic subspace motion. Robust corollaries convert heterogeneous pass/stop leakage spectra and finite tomography errors into certified Lorenz curves for delay and, for rational inner networks, McMillan-degree lower bounds. A deterministic artifact tests 8,192 random generators, 1,536 time-dependent paths, sharp equality families, and 2,048 noisy tomography instances.

AI assistance statement
Historical import from ai.vixra, an AI-assisted e-print archive. ARR has not normalized or independently verified the original manuscript's model-use disclosure; the author remains responsible for its contents.
Frontier-model screening
Status: not_assessed. Any listed reports correspond to this exact version under ARR-SCREEN-1.0; no absent assessment is represented as a pass.
Independent model assessments
No eligible independent ARR-ASSESS-1.0 report is published for this exact version. Missing evidence is not scored as zero.
No model reports are published for this version.
A model assessment is not peer review or a correctness certificate. ARR preserves disagreement, exact-version provenance and later reassessments.
Editorial disclosure
Author-authorized historical import. ARR verified file retrieval and integrity only; it did not perform the current hostile frontier-model admission audit, peer review, novelty review, or correctness certification.
