We record the dual elimination complementary to the open-sector Schur correction usedfor mass extraction: for the same quadratic backbone, eliminating the open variation yieldsa closed-curvature effective operator on Hcl of the form C − B∗A−1B. In the canonicalfirst-derivative representative, this becomes Lcl,eff = αI − η2 PRan− β∆ + V′′⋆−1PRan,which is coercive up to a smoothing (order −2) nonlocal kernel. On closed manifolds thecorrection is compact, so the closed spectrum is a discrete shift from α with accumulationat α. We record the required invertibility gate on the physical open subspace, the resultingspectral and topological features in the de Rham instance, and a basis-invariant finite-modeextraction protocol for the closed sector.
