The passage around this formula
…at rest as H=M+ , separating the rest energy from whatever nonrelativistic energy — kinetic, internal — sits on top of it. The relativistic loop phase becomes . Holding , , M , and fixed and sending c , the second term vanishes and the first survives unchanged, converting a state-dependent relativistic phase into a fixed, universal constant multiplying every vector in the fixed- M sector — Bargmann’s central charge, reconstructed…
