Entanglement Capacity from SGOC Slack Purity Slack, Rényi-2 Entropy, and the Modal Capacity Spectrum
Nala Trees
Abstract
This paper is part of the SGOC programme and it identifies the canonical capacity scalar Sc with a standard quantum-information entropy on a declared entanglement branch. For a normalised pure-state bipartition A|B, when the multiplicative slack is taken to be the reduced-state purity, epsilon_A = Tr(rho_A^2), the capacity scalar is exactly the order-2 Rényi entropy, Sc,A|B = -log epsilon_A = S2(rho_A). This is not a new scalar definition. It is a branchwise identification of the already canonical SGOC scalar with the Rényi-2 entanglement entropy of the reduced state. The note checks the standard structural tests expected of such an identification: product pure states give zero capacity entropy; local unitary changes leave the scalar invariant; tensor products add because purities multiply; and the logarithmic form is canonical once a multiplicative purity slack is required to become an additive scalar coordinate. The paper also keeps the scalar/spectrum distinction explicit. The full von Neumann entropy is recovered from the modal capacities over the Schmidt spectrum, S_vN(rho_A) = sum_i lambda_i(-log lambda_i), not from a single scalar moment alone. Thus Sc records the Rényi-2 purity channel exactly, while the complete modal list is needed for full entropic bookkeeping. Within SGOC, the result gives the capacity scalar a clean entanglement reading. It strengthens the interpretation of Sc as a common scalar interface between capacity geometry, quantum structure, entropy language, and the gravity-facing lane, including the selected tensorial gravity packet to which this note is attached. The claim boundary is deliberately narrow. The paper does not claim that one scalar reconstructs arbitrary Schmidt spectra, does not derive unrestricted quantum gravity from entanglement, and does not replace established quantum-information entropy theory. It proves an exact identification on the declared purity-slack branch and records how that identification fits the existing SGOC scalar architecture.
