The reference aspect ratio of e.coarse.ellipticity is at least one #

The reference block E of the coarse ellipticity assumption dominates the coarse response of every standard aligned cube, with a discount factor 3^{g(m-k)} that is one at the scale of the cube itself. So E dominates the coarse response of a centered triadic cube at some field of the coefficient space, provided one such field is reachable — which is exactly what a probability law supplies, since the assumption's bound holds almost surely and the source scale S is finite at every field.

The Schur blocks of a realized coarse response are ordered, so its aspect ratio is at least one; the aspect ratio is monotone; hence 1 ≤ Π(E). This is the lower bound Θ ≥ 1 the reference text uses, obtained without assuming the ordering of the reference block itself.

The hypothesis that the law is a probability measure is not cosmetic: at the zero measure the assumption is satisfied by a reference block with Π = 1/4, because nothing is then reachable.

The trivial dilation of a doubled block matrix.

The assumption is undiscounted at the scale of the cube. Taking the standard aligned cube to be the centered cube itself makes the discount factor 3^{g(m-k)} equal to one, so e.coarse.ellipticity bounds the coarse response of □_m by the reference block.

The reference aspect ratio is at least one. Under e.coarse.ellipticity at a probability law, the reference block dominates the coarse response of a centered triadic cube at some field of the coefficient space; that response has ordered Schur blocks, hence aspect ratio at least one, and the aspect ratio is monotone.
