Kernel Universality and Sector-Projection Consistency in the Axis Model: A Sector-by-Sector Identifiability and Existence Analysis with No New Inputs

Andrew Morton · Public preprint · Kernel identifiability and compatibility

Clarifies how sector-specific response measurements constrain an underlying kernel.

Research summary

Sector-specific measurements constrain projected parts of a response kernel. This paper examines which information those projections preserve and formulates compatibility as the existence of a positive-definite kernel satisfying the declared constraints. Its toy examples illustrate the mathematics of nonunique reconstruction.

Scope

Projected data generally leave the full kernel nonunique. A physical application requires independently established source normalization, sector definitions and matching data. Existence of a shared physical kernel remains a separate question.
