From Static Recoverability to Maintenance Power: A Typed Pipeline with ω = 0 Obstructions
We study when geometric separation in gapped quantum systems yields a genuine reduction in thermodynamic resources required to maintain coherence against uncontrolled open-system dynamics. Our analysis separates three layers. First, in a regularized Gaussian split regime motivated by algebraic QFT, we state an explicit static reconstruction bound: collar suppression of vacuum cross-correlations enables approximate state recovery via a conditional-reattachment covariance rule with fidelity error controlled by a cross-block recovery norm. Second, we show why static recoverability does not automatically imply suppression of dynamical decay rates: fixed-point structure and Bohr-zero (omega = 0) channels can generate obstructions invisible to static clustering alone. We formalize this using an exact omega = 0 Dirichlet identity and implement finite-size commutator-witness diagnostics in the transverse-field Ising chain, finding no evidence of a size-independent omega = 0 floor in that benchmark regime for tested sizes. Third, we give an autocontained finite-dimensional core linking coherence loss to incremental maintenance power under an explicit battery-assisted thermal-operations model with paired strategies, and we state a typed rate-inheritance hypothesis identifying precisely what additional dynamical input is required to propagate collar suppression into power suppression. We conclude with a Type III blueprint. v2 corrects two points and adds verification: (i) the recovery rule of the static layer is conditional reattachment -- not the Petz map for correlated Gaussian references (aligned with 2601.0007 v2 and 2512.0060 v2), with an explicit admissibility hypothesis; (ii) the v1 work-cost bookkeeping (its Eq. (25)) carried a sign error -- the work cost is the battery free-energy decrease -- which made v1's one-step work lemma false as printed (random energy-conserving unitaries violate it in 57/100 draws) while its own proof chain and everything downstream hold verbatim with the corrected sign; this is the same error class repaired in 2512.0061 v2. v2 further adds a GNS/KMS convention bridge to the companion witness papers, series positioning, an updated status of the rate-inheritance hypothesis, and a verification suite.
