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 rederive the de-excitation formula given in [1] by a perturbation theory calculation that is formulated entirely within the Rindler wedge of the accelerated cavity

C2weakest assumption

That restricting the mode sum and interaction Hamiltonian to the single Rindler wedge preserves the full physical content of the original calculation without additional boundary or matching conditions at the horizon.

C3one line summary

The 2015 de-excitation probability formula is rederived via first-order perturbation theory using only Rindler modes from the cavity's wedge.
