Reflection Positivity and Exact Gap Certificates from Forgotten Quantum Order
Earlier deposit preserved without the current AIRR screening. Not peer reviewed. Screening record
A balanced sequence of short Hamiltonian kicks has no first-order drift, but its order-dependent commutator holonomy survives when the order record is discarded. We prove that a reversal-symmetric average of complete order/reverse echoes is a self-adjoint random-unitary transfer operator and obeys the nonperturbative bound cos(4|y|S) I <= T_y <= I for |y|S < pi/8. This yields site and link reflection positivity and a finite-dimensional Osterwalder-Schrader Hamiltonian. The physical transfer approaches the curvature-frame generator with an explicit sixth-order remainder, giving quantitative O(y^2) convergence of its mass gap. For the regular tetrahedral qubit loop, we derive the exact finite-pulse depolarizing eigenvalue, isolate its first positivity zero at y = 0.455698535295322..., and obtain the mass expansion. We then prove a complete finite-depth Hausdorff criterion for visible transfer edges, with uniformly sharp depth r-1, and give an exact rational four-kick certificate: the true frame gap 10/3 is certified while the false claim 4 has rational witness value -1/64. A Wishart-Loewner band supplies finite-sample type-I control for independent Gaussian correlator sketches, including adaptive witnesses. Exact symbolic and deterministic numerical certificates accompany the manuscript.

AI assistance statement
Historical import from ai.vixra, an AI-assisted e-print archive. AIRR 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.
Model assessments and review context
No supported exact-version 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. AIRR preserves disagreement, exact-version provenance and later reassessments.
Editorial disclosure
Author-authorized historical import. AIRR verified file retrieval and integrity only; it did not perform the current hostile frontier-model admission audit, peer review, novelty review, or correctness certification.
