    "D_2 maps V_(N/2) into V_N and has squared norm factor 1/2.",
    "Both normal-equation cancellations in d_N=<u_(j+1),D_2u_j> are exact.",
    "The direction uses the full projected cost; the simpler next-error upper bound uses the exact unprojected increment cost.",
    "The cumulative sum denominator is E_(2^(j-1)), whereas the scoped numerator obstruction is normalized by E_(2^j); these are not interchanged.",
    "The logarithmic sum telescopes to a product of two consecutive errors; the final upper bound uses E_(J+1)^2 <= E_J E_(J+1).",
    "No lower growth of the scalar cumulative sum is proved, and divergence is not asserted necessary.",
    "The p<1 contradiction and p=1 coefficient ceiling use only NS83 asymptotically; no finite onset is assumed.",
    "Signed defects change sign in the actual finite examples; the sufficient criterion uses absolute values.",
    "The same generic projection/dilation identities survive the NS74 control. Any lower growth proof must use original arithmetic.",
    "Physical autocorrelation tail includes two main/remainder cross terms and the remainder product.",
    "Independent physical and Gram representations share certified coefficients; no midpoint solve enters a proof path.",
    "The cumulative finite upper envelope is substantially looser than the existing optimized bound and is not advertised as a better finite certificate."
