Commentary.

For all integer exponents a,b and coefficient index v, the signed difference between the coefficients at v and a+b-v of (1-X)^a*(1+X)^b equals the two local pole coefficients. Negative indices are extended by zero. Multiplication by 1-X and 1+X gives finite recurrences from a common negative exponent. The base case uses the quadratic coefficient change with its Jacobian, even and odd indices, and the interval where both input coefficients vanish.

Theorem 1.2 (The complete signed scalar collision comparison).

Lean statement: D5/S3/VertexAlgebra/ChargedResidue/TwoChamber.signed_two_chamber_scalar

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/VertexAlgebra/ChargedResidue/TwoChamber.signed_two_chamber_scalar (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

Specializing a=q+B and b=q-B identifies the two local coefficients with collisionScalar(v-2q-2,B,-q-1-B) and its reflected B branch. Each branch keeps its own negative-degree test. The factors are 2^(-2B)/2 and (-1)^v2^(2B)/2. The native outer-cutoff regrouping and reflected oscillator and ground-action identities connect this scalar formula to the arbitrary-input physical forward law. Each whole ordered range is enlarged before its monomial expansion.
