The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

we establish a rigorous no-go theorem for static configurations, proving that such coupling cannot bypass the requirement for NEC violation. We demonstrate that the geometric flare-out condition is incompatible with NEC-compliant sources, regardless of the coupling Q or equation of state.

C2weakest assumption

The restriction to static configurations and zero-tidal-force solutions; the theorem may not apply to dynamic or non-zero tidal force cases where the vacuum coupling could behave differently.

C3one line summary

Matter-vacuum coupling cannot eliminate the need for null energy condition violation in static zero-tidal-force traversable topological bridges.
