The pairwise spatial orthogonality behind the double-sum formula for the moving-cutoff corrector energy.
If two distinct odd transition windows are simultaneously nonzero, their indices differ by exactly two.
Adjacent odd shear correctors have orthogonal gradient tensors, pointwise in both spatial arguments.
The moving-cutoff double sum of gradient Gram matrices has only its
diagonal terms. This is the exact reduction of the quadratic part of the
source's E_m formula; it uses support overlap before discarding cross terms.
The complete double-sum energy keeps the full molecular baseline. The
cutoff partition enters as (∑ ξ_k)^2 = 1; only the gradient correction is
reduced to the diagonal. This is the correction to the printed Σ ξ_k² I
baseline used in the source.
The finite support selected by the moving cutoffs carries the full partition of unity. This is the finite-sum form needed to apply the double-sum reduction at a fixed time.
The source's full odd-mode double sum reduces on the actual finite cutoff
support. This specializes the overlap cancellation and molecular partition
identity to the E_m sum at a fixed time.
