The passage around this formula
…fail to close, on any data, ever; it carries zero redundant edges and therefore zero capacity to audit itself. Only once a network graph contains at least one independent cycle — one edge beyond a spanning tree — does y have anywhere to fall outside the range of B , and only then does a nonzero r become a genuine statement: that some edge or edges are not explained by any per-node scalar at all. What can produce that failure is a rotating platform’s asymmetric contribution to a link, an uncorrected fibre-length…
