Golden Image Recovery Obstruction

Abstract

The projective golden boundary image forgets every observer rapidity.

Theorem 1.1 (A fixed projective boundary image cannot reconstruct the observer).

Commentary.

The observer event and its genuine tangent are the canonical objects constructed by the preceding null-direction theorem. The boundary projection is defined on their concrete orbit and sends each state’s sum and difference to Mathlib’s projective quotient.

Positive rapidity-dependent amplitudes disappear in projective space, so every rapidity has the same ordered pair of golden null points. The event-tangent states themselves remain distinct.

The theorem states the resulting non-injectivity directly and rules out both a rapidity decoder and a concrete observer-state decoder from the complete boundary image.
