Primitive quotient surplus of literal object deletion #
The singleton object-deletion category is equivalent to modules over the canonical primitive quotient of the finite category algebra. Pulling back the label-aligned quotient skeleton through this equivalence identifies its finite-tau surplus with the intrinsic quotient surplus used by directed deletion.
The surplus of any complete skeleton of the literal singleton-deletion module category is the actual finite-tau surplus of the corresponding primitive quotient algebra. Unlike the intrinsic directed-deletion formula below, this comparison does not require the ambient module category to be directed.
The surplus of any complete skeleton of the literal singleton-deletion module category is the intrinsic primitive-quotient surplus of the matching canonical category-algebra projector.
Literal singleton object deletion cannot increase finite-tau surplus in a finite representation-directed category. All algebra, skeleton, primitive presentation, coordinate, and boundary data are constructed internally.
If singleton deletion preserves surplus, then every indecomposable module which is nonzero at the deleted object has one-dimensional fiber there. This is the literal category-module form of primitive-deletion equality rigidity.
