Paper 16 — The Gauge Projection Degree: Completing the Dark Energy Derivation via Transfer Homogeneity, Composite Uniqueness, and Geometric Slot Locality

Resolves the final degree question in the dark-energy derivation: why the gauge projection appears as √(1+γ²) rather than 1+γ².

If the theory is correct, the math will just work.

Paper 16 — The Gauge Projection Degree

Resolves the final degree question in the dark-energy derivation: why the gauge projection appears as √(1+γ²) rather than 1+γ². The paper develops a set of transfer-homogeneity and locality theorems, adds a composite-uniqueness argument, and narrows the allowed projection degree on the physical channel.
