  "technical_statement": "In the sector-normalised paired-cap ratio DeltaGamma_n+ = -ln[Z_n+(h)/Z_n+(M_P)], every factor independent of the external source cancels identically: the reflected bra's normalisation and phase, metric and ghost determinant constants, collective-coordinate Jacobians, zero-mode volumes and finite local constants.",
