Abstract

Repeated projective measurements are usually discussed either in the ballistic Zeno scaling or after reduction to classical outcome probabilities. We study a different regime in which each nonselective measurement retains a full matrix algebra inside every degenerate outcome block. Let E(X)=sum_a P_a X P_a, let E_tau be its rotation by exp(-i tau H), and close one cycle by Phi_tau=E E_tau E. We prove, uniformly on compact time intervals and in diamond norm, that Phi_{sqrt(t/n)}^n converges to exp(-tK)E, where K=E ad_H(1-E)ad_H E=C_H^* C_H. The limit is a genuinely quantum Markov semigroup on the direct sum of the block matrix algebras, with explicit jumps sqrt(2) P_b H P_a. Beyond upper bounds, we identify three exact local obstructions for the unprocessed physical product. The cubic map M_H produces a nonzero n^{-1/2} coefficient; after it vanishes, the quartic product obstruction J_H produces a nonzero n^{-1} coefficient; after both vanish, the quintic obstruction P_H produces a nonzero n^{-3/2} coefficient. If all three vanish, the error is O(n^{-2}). All three coefficient transforms are injective. An exact three-record algebraic example has M_H=J_H=0 but P_H nonzero, proving that the third branch is attained. The fixed algebra is A intersect {H_off}', and the least singular value of the commutator frame C_H defines a noncommutative connectivity gap. In the primitive case that gap is the exact exponential mixing exponent in diamond norm and is Lipschitz robust under Hamiltonian perturbations. Rank-one blocks reduce exactly to twice the squared-coupling graph Laplacian. An eight-dimensional rational architecture with four qubit blocks is certified irreducible; its gap is the unique root in (0.4545,0.4547) of an explicit quartic. Symbolic certificates, semidefinite diamond-norm replays, and convergence tests accompany the paper.
