Unified Pinching Fee
Abstract
A binary-entropy pinching fee has one transition profile joining its pure- and mixed-state asymptotics.

Commentary.
For every nonnegative transition coordinate x, the singular part of the binary-entropy increment differs from its explicit logarithmic profile by a quantity tending to zero as the scale tends to zero from above.
This is the analytic remainder estimate used on the live derivation path. It follows from continuity of y log y at zero and a first-order calculation for the boundary eigenvalue.

Commentary.
The source scales t = delta squared over four and u = 1-r are exposed by handTremor and doorGap. The relation r = 1-2tx is exposed by boundaryRadius, while the third conjunct uses its inverse substitution t = doorGap(r)/(2x). The fee model quadraticPinchingFee is the binary-entropy increment H2((1-r)/2 + r*t) - H2((1-r)/2). No public declaration identifies the source’s tilted-pinching fee with this model; the source-fee clauses remain conditional on that uncarried identification.
Along r = 1-2tx, the quotient of the fee model by t times the displayed transition coefficient tends to one. The scale-independent correction tends to one at x approaching zero from above, giving the pure-state logarithmic law.
At the mixed-state end, substituting t = u/(2x) makes the transition coefficient tend to log(2/u). For fixed 0<r<1 and t=delta squared over four, the model divided by delta squared tends to r artanh(r)/2; this fourth limit is the model’s formal first-order content. The fixed-x fee ratio and the x-to-infinity profile formalize separate regimes and are not composed into a single limit.
The source’s ‘that is’ bridge is carried in the gate-closing regime: as r approaches one from below, the ratio of 2r artanh(r) to log(2/(1-r)) tends to one. The coefficients are not asserted equal at a fixed mixed-state radius.
The source sentence reporting a numerical crossover ratio from 1.0000 to 0.9946 is computational-experiment content and is not formalized.
