In NUVO, acceleration is an operational concept describing deviation from
transport-optimal motion in scalar geometry.
Two distinct forms are recognized:
Only the latter corresponds to inertial resistance and contributions.
Acceleration (Operational) in NUVO is the observable change in velocity resulting from
transport imbalance under scalar modulation.
Acceleration arises when a bundle moves through a gradient in sinertia or exchange demand,
producing asymmetric transport resistance.
Acceleration is not caused by a force acting on a mass; it is a transport response to
geometric capacity variation.
See also: Gravity (Sinertia Gradient Interpretation), Transport Compatibility.
Adjacency (CAS) is a directed structural relation defined on admissible configurations .
If , then is admissibly adjacent to in the structural sense.
Adjacency is independent of ledger ordering: adjacent configurations need not appear consecutively in a ledger,
and consecutive ledger entries need not be adjacent.
See also: Adjacency Constraint (CAS), Ledger Succession vs. Adjacency (CAS), Reachability (CAS).
An Adjacency Constraint (CAS) is a realization-supplied predicate or functional
that determines whether adjacency between two admissible configurations is permitted.
CAS does not fix its form; in a realization, it may encode limits arising from geometry, causality,
coherence, or other structural restrictions, without introducing dynamics.
See also: Adjacency (CAS), Coupling Constraint (CAS).
An Admissible Configuration (CAS) is a configuration permitted to appear in observable accounting.
A CAS realization specifies a distinguished admissible subset .
Only admissible configurations may appear as ledger entries; inadmissible configurations are not recordable
within that accounting scheme.
See also: Ledger (CAS), Adjacency (CAS), Observability (CAS).
Admissibility is the condition that a proposed structure or process can exist consistently within NUVO geometry.
Admissibility requires:
A structure may be locally coherent yet globally inadmissible.
Admissibility is evaluated prior to dynamics and does not depend on equations of motion.
See also: GRASP, Global Extendability, Confinement.
Anchoring is the process by which a closed loop produces persistent localization and
inertial structure in NUVO space.
An Anchor is the resulting stable structure created by closed-loop scalar circulation.
Anchoring draws scalar flow through impedance, generating sinertia depletion and defining
mass-like behavior.
Anchoring is not spatial fixation or external constraint.
See also: Closed Loop, Sinertia, Gravity.
The Anomalous Magnetic Moment () is the deviation of a particle’s magnetic response
from the Dirac baseline value.
In NUVO, arises from geometric holonomy and transport effects associated with internal
loop structure and coherence distortion.
The effect is a phenomenological consequence of scalar geometry, not a correction to a
point-particle model.
See also: Spin (Transport Interpretation), Holonomy, Phenomenological Correspondence.
Arc Closure is the requirement that transport along a coherent arc closes consistently
in phase and action when extended to a full loop.
Arc closure enforces discrete admissibility and prevents continuous deformation of
coherent states.
It is a foundational mechanism underlying quantization in NUVO.
See also: Phase Closure, Quantization (Geometric).
A Coherence Arc Length is the transport length associated with a coherent segment of
scalar circulation.
Coherence arc length contributes to accumulated phase and action and is constrained by
closure requirements.
It is not a purely spatial distance but a transport-weighted geometric quantity.
See also: Arc Closure, Scalar Transport.
Availability (NUVO) is the locally accessible portion of the globally conserved sinertia budget.
In the consolidated ontology, the scalar modulation field is interpreted as encoding local availability
of maintaining capacity (not as MAST or sinertia itself).
See also: Scalar Modulation (), Sinertia, Depletion, Saturation.
Availability Flow is the redistribution of local availability across spacetime, subject to causal and
admissibility constraints.
Availability may redistribute and become locally locked into persistent structure, while the global sinertia
budget remains conserved.
See also: Availability (NUVO), Depletion, Saturation.
Baseline geometry refers to the unmodulated state of NUVO space in which
In this state:
Baseline geometry represents the true physical reference state of NUVO space.
A Bundle is the minimal ontological unit of matter in NUVO.
It consists of exactly one closed loop and exactly one open loop, inseparably linked.
The closed loop provides anchoring and inertial structure.
The open loop provides exchange capability.
A bundle cannot exist with only one of these components. Composite objects consist of multiple bundles, but every elementary matter unit is a single bundle.
A bundle is not a point particle, a field excitation, or a composite of independent parts.
See also: Closed Loop, Open Loop, Sinertia.
Canon (NUVO Canon) refers to the formally recognized set of NUVO results, principles,
and interpretations that are authoritative as of a specified date.
Canonized items:
Canon status governs authority, not popularity or completeness.
See also: Canonical Scope, Non-Canonical Work, Canon-Adjacent Work.
Canon-Adjacent Work consists of papers that support or motivate NUVO without introducing
its ontology or geometry.
These works:
Canon-adjacent status does not imply partial canonization.
See also: Structural Correspondence, Canonical Scope.
Canonical Scope specifies the domain, limits, and applicability of a canonized result
within NUVO.
Scope determines:
Canonization without scope is not permitted in NUVO.
See also: Canon (NUVO Canon), Exploratory Work.
CAS-Invariance is the criterion that a framework’s observable descriptions can be represented within CAS
without violating admissibility, adjacency constraints, or closure.
CAS-invariance is structural, not dynamical: it constrains consistent accounting rather than prescribing
physical content.
See also: Observer Transformation (CAS), Refinement and Coarse-Graining (CAS).
A Charge in NUVO is an operational label describing how an open loop couples to exchange channels.
Charges represent:
Charge is not a substance, field, or intrinsic property. It is a relational exchange role.
Charge conservation follows from loop closure and admissibility, not symmetry postulates.
See also: Open Loop, Exchange, Matter–Antimatter Pairing.
Charge Conservation (Geometric) follows from closure and admissibility of open-loop
exchange structures.
Because open loops must close globally and appear in complementary pairs, charge cannot be
created or destroyed arbitrarily.
Charge conservation is therefore a geometric consequence, not a symmetry postulate.
See also: Charge (NUVO Definition), Open Loop, Matter–Antimatter Pairing.
A Closed Loop is a coherent, self-contained scalar circulation that produces anchoring in NUVO space.
Closed loops:
Closed loops correspond operationally to mass, but are not masses themselves.
They are geometrical anchoring structures.
A closed loop cannot exist without an associated open loop.
See also: Bundle, Sinertia, Anchoring, Gravity.
Closure Accounting Structure (CAS) is a formal, realization-independent framework for representing
observable configurations under admissibility, adjacency, and closure constraints.
CAS is meta-structural:
See also: Ledger (CAS), Adjacency (CAS), Closure Functional, CAS-Invariance, Observer Transformation (CAS).
A Closure Functional (CAS) is a realization-dependent functional (often written ) that assigns
a closure value to admissible transitions and enables ledger-level consistency checks.
Closure replaces dynamics as the primary accounting consistency condition: the ledger is consistent
when successive entries satisfy the closure axiom under the realization’s .
See also: Conservation as Ledger Closure (CAS), Path Closure (CAS).
Coherence is the condition under which scalar transport maintains stable phase and action relationships.
Coherence enables:
Coherence is finite and bandwidth-limited. Loss of coherence leads to saturation or inadmissibility.
Coherence is not quantum probability or wavefunction collapse.
See also: Coherence Bandwidth, Quantization, Phase Closure.
Coherence Bandwidth is the finite range of phase, action, and transport configurations
over which coherence can be maintained.
Bandwidth is limited by:
Exceeding coherence bandwidth leads to instability, confinement, or loss of closure.
See also: Coherence, Saturation, Three-Generation Constraint.
Coherence Bandwidth is the finite range of phase, action, and transport configurations
over which coherence can be maintained.
Bandwidth is limited by:
Exceeding coherence bandwidth leads to instability, confinement, or loss of closure.
See also: Coherence, Saturation, Three-Generation Constraint.
Color refers to distinct internal admissibility channels available to confined
scalar coherence bundles.
Color labels:
Color is not a physical charge or field. It is an internal organizational label for
confined coherence.
The existence of exactly three color channels follows from admissibility constraints,
not symmetry postulates.
See also: Confinement, GRASP, Gauge Structure (Effective).
A Configuration (CAS) is an element of a realization’s configuration set, representing a candidate
state/record/object of accounting.
CAS does not impose internal structure on configurations; any meaning is supplied by the realization.
See also: Admissible Configuration (CAS), Realization (CAS).
Confinement is the condition in which a coherent structure fails global extendability
and can exist only as part of a composite configuration.
In NUVO, confinement occurs when:
Confinement is a geometric no-go result, not a force mechanism. Increasing energy input
deepens inadmissibility rather than liberating the structure.
Confinement explains why certain bundles (e.g., quarks) cannot appear as free asymptotic states.
See also: GRASP, Global Extendability, Color (Admissibility Channels).
The Conformal Metric is the effective spacetime metric used in NUVO scalar geometry,
given by
It encodes transport modulation rather than gravitational force.
The conformal metric preserves causal structure while modifying transport response.
See also: Scalar Modulation (), Scalar Geometry.
The Conformal Scalar is the scalar field that modulates the NUVO metric and
transport capacity.
It determines local scaling of time, length, and transport resistance.
The conformal scalar is not an independent force field or matter field.
See also: Scalar Modulation (), Conformal Metric.
Conservation as Ledger Closure (CAS) is the statement that conservation laws apply at the level of
observable configurations: ledger transitions that would violate closure simply do not appear as admissible
observable records.
CAS makes no claim about what happens during unobserved transformation intervals; conservation is enforced
as a property of observable accounting.
See also: Closure Functional (CAS), Ledger (CAS).
A Coupling Constraint (CAS) is a bound on which configurations may appear as adjacent ledger entries, imposed
by the realization’s observational coupling limits.
In the NUVO-adjacent interpretation discussed alongside CAS, the universal constant may be treated as an
operational coupling constraint governing allowable adjacency between observable configurations, rather than
as a dynamical speed law.
See also: Adjacency Constraint (CAS), Ledger (CAS).
Curvature in NUVO is the geometric manifestation of spatial and temporal variation in
scalar modulation .
Curvature reflects how transport capacity changes across NUVO space and how geodesic
paths deviate in response to sinertia gradients.
Curvature is not introduced as an independent geometric postulate; it emerges from scalar
geometry and depletion.
See also: Gravity (Sinertia Gradient Interpretation), Scalar Geometry, Geodesic (NUVO).
Depletion is the local reduction of available sinertia caused by anchoring or exchange.
Depletion arises when:
Depletion produces gradients in scalar modulation and governs saturation,
interaction strength, and effective dynamics.
Depletion is not dissipation or energy loss. It is a geometric capacity effect.
See also: Sinertia, Saturation, Scalar Modulation (), Gravity.
Discrete Admissibility is the restriction that only discrete configurations satisfy
all admissibility conditions simultaneously.
It underlies:
See also: Quantization (Geometric), Admissibility.
A Dynamic Loop is a transient coherence structure that mediates exchange between open loops.
Dynamic loops:
They correspond operationally to gauge bosons, but are not fundamental fields.
Dynamic loops exist only during exchange processes.
See also: Open Loop, Exchange, Gauge Structure.
Dynamic Mediation is the process by which exchange between open loops is transmitted
through transient coherence structures.
Dynamic mediation:
Dynamic mediation replaces force-carrier ontology with transport-level exchange processes.
Dynamic mediation is inherently transient and does not store conserved quantities.
See also: Dynamic Loop, Exchange, Interaction.
Effective Mass is the observed mass associated with a bundle’s internal coherence mode
and anchoring strength.
Effective mass reflects:
It is not an intrinsic property but an emergent measure of anchoring geometry.
See also: Closed Loop, Generation (NUVO), Mass Hierarchy.
Exchange is the process by which scalar capacity, phase, and action are transferred
between bundles through open loops.
Exchange:
Exchange defines interaction behavior in NUVO. It does not require forces or potentials
and does not correspond to particle emission in the conventional sense.
Exchange is not equivalent to energy transfer, though it underlies observable
energy exchange.
See also: Open Loop, Dynamic Loop, Charge, Interaction.
Exploratory Work refers to NUVO-related analysis that has not been canonized.
Exploratory work:
Exploratory status does not imply error, but it does imply non-authority.
See also: Canonical Scope, Non-Canonical Work.
Falsifiability in NUVO refers to the capacity for geometric or transport-based predictions
to be tested against observation.
NUVO predictions are falsifiable when:
See also: Phenomenological Correspondence.
A Field (NUVO Usage) is a descriptive summary of distributed transport behavior, not a
fundamental ontological entity.
Fields encode:
Fields are secondary to geometry and transport in NUVO.
See also: Scalar Geometry, Structural Correspondence.
Finite Maintainability is the principle that maintaining capacity is limited, so coherence, curvature,
acceleration response, and structural complexity cannot be increased without bound.
When local maintainability is exhausted, the observable outcomes include resistance to acceleration, saturation
of coherence, depletion effects, instability, or transition to a lower-demand regime.
See also: Maintaining Capacity (NUVO Ontology), Saturation, Depletion.
Forced (non-free-fall) acceleration occurs when an anchored particle is constrained
to move off a geodesic, i.e., against the global sinertia flow.
Characteristics:
This form of acceleration underlies effective forces and inertial response in NUVO.
Free-fall motion in NUVO refers to motion along a geodesic of the globally
modulated scalar geometry.
Characteristics:
Photons and freely falling massive particles both undergo free-fall motion in this sense.
Gauge Structure (Effective) is the operational description of internal exchange
compatibility and symmetry in NUVO.
Gauge groups do not represent fundamental fields or forces. Instead, they encode:
The Standard Model gauge structure emerges as a compact bookkeeping language for exchange
dynamics already present in NUVO geometry.
Gauge structure is descriptive, not ontological.
See also: Exchange, Dynamic Loop, Structural Correspondence.
Gauge Symmetry (Descriptive) is the symmetry language used to classify equivalent
exchange configurations and internal coherence transformations.
In NUVO, gauge symmetry:
Gauge symmetry summarizes exchange equivalence classes already present in scalar geometry.
It is a descriptive redundancy, not an ontological principle.
See also: Gauge Structure (Effective), Structural Correspondence.
A Generation (NUVO) is a stable coherence mode of a bundle within finite coherence
bandwidth.
Generations are not distinct particle species but distinct internal coherence configurations.
Exactly three generations are admissible.
See also: Coherence Mode, Three-Generation Constraint.
A Geodesic (NUVO) is a path of admissible transport through scalar geometry that
minimizes transport resistance under local scalar modulation.
Geodesics reflect:
NUVO geodesics reproduce relativistic free-fall behavior in appropriate limits.
See also: Curvature (NUVO Interpretation), Gravity, Transport Compatibility.
NUVO Geometry is a scalar-modulated conformal geometry governing transport, coherence,
and admissibility.
It replaces force-based descriptions with geometric transport constraints.
See also: Scalar Geometry, Two-Substrate Ontology.
Gravitational Waves (NUVO) are propagating variations in scalar modulation
that transmit transport disturbance.
They arise from dynamic redistribution of sinertia and propagate at light speed.
They are transport waves, not metric perturbations of an independent field.
See also: Gravity, Scalar Transport.
Global Extendability is the requirement that a coherent structure can exist as a
free, asymptotic object without requiring external completion.
A structure may be locally coherent yet fail global extendability if:
Failure of global extendability implies confinement or composite-only existence.
Global extendability is a core criterion in GRASP.
See also: GRASP, Admissibility, Confinement, Local Closure.
Global scalar modulation, denoted , is the component of
scalar modulation determined by the background scalar geometry of NUVO space.
Key characteristics:
Global scalar modulation is the sole geometric origin of gravity in NUVO.
GRASP (Geometric Requirements for Admissible Structure Principle) is a pre-dynamical criterion that determines whether a coherent structure may exist as a physically admissible object.
GRASP requires:
Structures failing GRASP may exist only in confined or composite form.
GRASP introduces no new dynamics and modifies no existing equations.
See also: Admissibility, Confinement, Global Extendability.
Gravity in NUVO is the macroscopic manifestation of spatial gradients in sinertia.
Anchoring structures (closed loops) deplete local sinertia, producing gradients in scalar
modulation . Transport through these gradients leads to momentum imbalance,
which appears operationally as gravitational acceleration.
This interpretation:
Gravity is therefore a transport response to geometric capacity variation.
See also: Sinertia, Depletion, Curvature (NUVO Interpretation), Geodesic (NUVO).
In NUVO, gravity is a purely geometric phenomenon arising from global scalar
modulation of spacetime.
Key features:
Sinertia depletion gradients account for inertial resistance and forced acceleration,
not gravity itself.
Holonomy is the accumulated phase or transport shift resulting from closed transport
around a loop in NUVO geometry.
Holonomy encodes quantization and coherence constraints.
See also: Arc Closure, Phase Closure.
Horizons (CAS) are structural partitions of admissible configurations induced by adjacency constraints,
where configurations are not mutually reachable.
Horizons in CAS are “horizon-like” purely as admissibility features and need not imply geometric boundaries.
See also: Reachability (CAS), Adjacency Constraint (CAS).
Inertia in NUVO is the resistance to change in transport state caused by anchoring
and sinertia depletion.
It is not fundamental but emergent from closed-loop impedance.
See also: Closed Loop, Sinertia.
An Interaction in NUVO is a structured exchange process mediated by open loops and
dynamic loops under admissibility constraints.
Interactions arise from:
Interactions do not require forces, potentials, or fundamental fields. Observable forces
summarize the net transport response to sustained exchange.
Interaction strength reflects exchange capacity and coherence limits, not coupling constants.
See also: Exchange, Dynamic Loop, Charge, Transport Capacity.
An Internal Mode is a configuration of transport and coherence internal to a bundle.
Internal modes define mass, generation, and stability properties.
See also: Coherence Mode, Generation (NUVO).
The Koide Relation is a geometric constraint on the square-root masses of three
coherence modes, given by
In NUVO, it arises from coherence geometry and Minkowski embedding.
See also: Square-Root Mass Coordinates, Minkowski Coherence Geometry.
A Ledger (CAS) is an ordered record consisting solely of admissible observable configurations.
Key properties:
See also: Ordering Without Time (CAS), Missing Observations (CAS), Ledger Equivalence (CAS).
Ledger Equivalence (CAS) holds when two ledgers record the same admissible configurations in the same order,
regardless of any unrecorded admissible configurations that may exist between entries.
Ledger equivalence is defined at the level of observable records, not underlying evolution.
See also: Observer Transformation (CAS), Refinement and Coarse-Graining (CAS).
Ledger Succession vs. Adjacency (CAS) is the canonical distinction that:
This distinction allows incomplete observation without inconsistency.
See also: Ledger (CAS), Adjacency (CAS), Missing Observations (CAS).
Local Closure is the requirement that phase, action, and transport close consistently
within a bounded region.
Local closure is necessary but not sufficient for global admissibility.
See also: Global Extendability, GRASP.
Local scalar modulation, denoted , is the contribution to
scalar modulation associated with anchoring and acceleration along a worldline.
Key characteristics:
Local scalar modulation encodes inertial resistance and transport stress;
it is not equivalent to special-relativistic time dilation.
A Loop is a coherent circulation of scalar transport.
Loops may be closed (anchoring), open (exchange), or dynamic (mediation).
See also: Closed Loop, Open Loop, Dynamic Loop.
Maintaining Capacity is the operational phrase for spacetime’s finite ability to sustain coherent structure
against perturbation.
In the ontological consolidation, this capacity is named MAST, quantified globally by sinertia, and expressed
locally through the availability encoded by .
See also: MAST, Sinertia, Scalar Modulation (), Availability (NUVO).
Mass Hierarchy is the ordered structure of effective masses arising from different
coherence modes.
Higher masses correspond to tighter coherence and reduced stability.
See also: Generation (NUVO), Coherence Bandwidth.
Matter–Antimatter Pairing describes the relationship between bundles whose open loops
have opposite exchange orientation relative to their closed-loop anchoring.
Paired bundles:
Matter and antimatter are not separate ontological categories; they are complementary
exchange configurations.
See also: Charge, Open Loop, Dynamic Loop.
Minkowski Coherence Geometry is the pseudo-Riemannian structure governing coherence
space, with one time-like and multiple space-like coherence directions.
It explains the Koide angle and three-mode admissibility.
See also: Koide Relation, Coherence Geometry.
Missing Observations (CAS) means a ledger need not contain every admissible configuration that may exist
between two recorded entries.
If two ledger entries are separated by unrecorded admissible configurations, the ledger is interpreted as
coarse-grained observation rather than an instantaneous jump.
See also: Ledger (CAS), Refinement and Coarse-Graining (CAS), Adjacency (CAS).
Momentum (Operational) in NUVO is defined as the product of invariant mass and observed
velocity under scalar geometry.
Because scalar modulation affects length and time equally, velocity remains invariant
between admissible frames, and momentum transforms consistently across observers.
Momentum is not a primitive quantity; it emerges from transport and anchoring.
See also: Inertia (NUVO Interpretation), Transport, Acceleration (Operational).
Non-Canonical Work includes papers or results explicitly excluded from NUVO canon.
This category includes:
Non-canonical work may be cited for context but is not binding.
See also: Canon (NUVO Canon), Canon-Adjacent Work.
An Observer Transformation (CAS) is a mapping between ledgers recorded by different observers such that:
Observer transformations define symmetry at the level of observable accounting, not at the level of dynamics.
See also: CAS-Invariance, Ledger Equivalence (CAS).
An Open Loop is a scalar coherence structure that enables above-substrate exchange.
Open loops:
Open loops always appear in complementary pairs across creation and annihilation processes. They cannot exist in isolation and cannot anchor matter by themselves.
An open loop is not a field, force carrier, or independent particle.
See also: Bundle, Charge, Exchange, Dynamic Loop.
An Operational Description characterizes observable behavior without asserting
fundamental ontology.
NUVO uses operational descriptions to interface with existing physical theories.
See also: Structural Correspondence.
Ordering Without Time (CAS) is the principle that ledger order is a structural precedence relation,
not automatically a temporal parameter.
Time or duration may be interpreted from ledger structure in a given realization, but CAS itself does not
assume it.
See also: Ledger (CAS), Observer Transformation (CAS).
Path Closure (CAS) is the rule that closure values compose along a sequence of adjacencies, producing a
net closure for the path.
Path Equivalence (CAS) holds when two paths share the same endpoints and the same net closure, reflecting a
gauge-like freedom in intermediate admissible configurations provided closure is preserved.
See also: Closure Functional (CAS), CAS-Invariance.

close to unity and transport corrections are small but nonzero.
This regime:
It is a controlled expansion within NUVO geometry.
See also: Gravity, Relativistic Limit (NUVO), Scalar Geometry.
Quantization (Geometric) is the emergence of discrete action, phase, and admissible states
from coherence and closure constraints in NUVO scalar geometry.
Quantization arises because:
No quantization postulate is introduced. Discreteness follows from geometric and transport
constraints alone.
Geometric quantization in NUVO underlies the appearance of Planck’s constant as an
effective invariant.
See also: Coherence, Arc Closure, Action (Quantum of Action), Schrödinger Correspondence.
Reachability (CAS) is the graph-theoretic notion induced by adjacency:
a configuration is reachable from if there exists a finite sequence of admissible adjacencies
connecting them.
Reachability is structural and does not require a dynamical or temporal interpretation.
See also: Adjacency (CAS), Horizons (CAS).
Refinement (CAS) inserts additional admissible configurations into a ledger while preserving net closure.

transport behavior and full conformal geometry must be retained.
In this limit:
This limit corresponds operationally to relativistic physics.

Saturation occurs when transport or exchange demand approaches the limit of available
sinertia.
Beyond saturation, coherence cannot be maintained.

Scalar modulation, denoted , is the fundamental scalar factor governing
geometric transport in NUVO space through the conformal metric
In NUVO, scalar modulation has a well-defined baseline value:
in the absence of both gravitational potential and acceleration.

a field excitation, or a velocity-dependent effect.
Scalar Transport is the flow of scalar capacity through NUVO geometry that supports
motion, interaction, and coherence.
It is the fundamental carrier underlying all dynamics.
See also: Sinertia, Scalar Geometry.

See also: Quantization (Geometric), Coherence, Action (Quantum of Action).
Sinertia is the scalar transport capacity available at a location in NUVO space.
It governs:
Reduced sinertia corresponds to increased scalar modulation and increased transport resistance.
Sinertia is not energy, mass, momentum, or inertia, though it underlies their effective behavior.
See also: Scalar Transport, Depletion, Closed Loop.
Spin in NUVO is a transport response arising from phase holonomy and internal loop
structure.
It is not intrinsic angular momentum of a point particle.

coherence modes are admissible.
A fourth mode violates coherence bandwidth and closure constraints.
See also: Generation (NUVO), Coherence Bandwidth.

Transport capacity is not a conserved quantity and does not correspond to bandwidth
in signal-processing terms.
See also: Sinertia, Saturation, Transport Compatibility.
Transport Compatibility is the requirement that transport remains coherent and
non-divergent under scalar modulation.
It is a core admissibility criterion.
