Abstract
The adjoint kernel is exactly the space of redundant protocol coefficients.
Theorem 1.1 (Adjoint-kernel coefficients are exactly vanishing protocol combinations).

Commentary.
Let a finite family ell consist of protocol representatives in a finite-dimensional real Hilbert state space. The analysis map M records the inner product with every representative.
For every Euclidean coefficient vector a, the adjoint M-star applied to a is the finite synthesis sum of a_i times ell_i. Consequently a lies in the adjoint kernel exactly when that linear combination vanishes.
Thus a protocol-side residual direction need not mean the absence of a state. It records an exact linear dependence among the selected protocol representatives.
