Finite control of object-deletion source and sink terms #
The manuscript places the middle terms created by intrinsic source and sink maps at an object-deletion stage in the second ambient Hom neighborhood. The key point is minimality: every indecomposable summand of a minimal right almost-split source has a nonzero component to the endpoint, and dually every summand of a minimal left almost-split target receives a nonzero component from the endpoint. Extension by zero preserves those nonzero maps.
Every displayed middle summand of a right-minimal map ending in the
nth Hom neighborhood belongs to the next neighborhood.
Every displayed middle summand of a left-minimal map starting in the
nth Hom neighborhood belongs to the next neighborhood.
The manuscript's U₁ sink clause: middle summands of a right-minimal
sink map ending at a seed module lie in the first Hom neighborhood.
The manuscript's U₁ source clause: middle summands of a left-minimal
source map starting at a seed module lie in the first Hom neighborhood.
If an indecomposable endpoint lies outside the two-step Hom neighborhood
of y, the source of any right-minimal map to that endpoint vanishes at
y.
Outside the two-step control neighborhood of a deleted object, the intrinsic deletion sink retains right almost-splitness, right minimality, source arity, and the projectivity flag of its ambient endpoint.
If the ambient middle term to which the right adjoint is applied lies in the first Hom neighborhood, then every indecomposable middle summand of the resulting right-minimal deletion-stage sink lies in the second ambient Hom neighborhood.
Dually, if the ambient middle term to which the left adjoint is applied lies in the first Hom neighborhood, every indecomposable middle summand of the resulting left-minimal deletion-stage source lies in the second ambient Hom neighborhood.
A nonzero factorization through an indecomposable deletion-stage module
is still a nonzero factorization after extension by zero. If its source term
lies in the ambient U₂ window, the witness therefore lies in the ambient
U₃ window, independently of which earlier objects were deleted.
