The Doplicher–Roberts reconstruction theorem converts one premise — every superselection sector has finite statistical dimension — into the full apparatus of a compact gauge group: conjugate sectors, para-Bose/Fermi statistics, and an integer charge lattice. In the companion framework [Dai-chg] that premise was priced as an identification. This paper — every component priced as theorem, identification, input, or open — upgrades it to a pair of theorems by deriving both finiteness properties of superselection from resource principles. Theorem A (maintenance law): a dense set of charge values admits no addition-consistent coarse-graining — composition is a free amplifier of sub-resolution differences — so any P3-maintainable value set is exactly a lattice λℤ, with the bonus bound λ ≥ δ (the charge quantum is no smaller than the world's resolution). Theorem B (writing law): an irreducible sector that a bounded, graded, adjoint-paired channel can write, and whose pair of label lines can both be relayed through vacuum pairs, possesses a conjugate and has d ≤ ‖W‖²/√|c₁c₂| < ∞; the relay amplitude is 1/d (probability 1/d²), and it is nonzero only on the conjugate-paired fusion channel — "a conjugate is the channel with a road home." Together: maintenance pins the ladder, writing caps the dimension, and the two laws supply the finiteness premise the Doplicher–Roberts reconstruction requires — returning Rep(G) for a compact G, given that the writable sectors form a DR-admissible subcategory. Three numerical campaigns in Cuntz-algebra models (predictions stated before each run) verify the finite-M structure — the zig-zag coefficient c = 1/d, the channel-resolved relay, and the braid sign — at machine precision. The d = ∞ death point is analytic rather than simulated: in standard normalization the pair-creation cost ‖R‖² = d = 1/c grows without bound as the zig-zag c → 0, diverging exactly where the boundedness axiom fails. One withdrawn formula is printed beside the live results.

Within the sealed-records program developed in Part I, we derive the structures of particle statistics and gauge theory as outputs rather than inputs. The results hold at stated scope and are accompanied by machine receipts. First, univalence superselection is derived within the stated record class: the silence of the relative sign is established by exhaustive verification within that class, so the term "derived" carries exactly that scope. The silent-seam axiom then excludes superpositions across the double cover, making the (-1)^F grading central. Second, spin quantization, 2m in Z, follows from the (1,3) signature together with the belt-trick identification, with record anyons confined to genuinely two-dimensional screens. Third, under the named framed-transport premise, namely that exchange is transport of the fiber with its frame, sealed positivity on the exchange collar forces the exchange phase (-1)^{2m}: wrong-statistics sectors carry strictly negative weights, and Pauli exclusion appears as an exact zero. Fourth, parastatistics is excluded at pair-exchange level: the transport commutant on V tensor V is exactly span{1, P}, and the +/-1 options are excluded by the ledger. The full n-strand Doplicher-Haag-Roberts parastatistics question is explicitly scoped. Fifth, the internal symmetry group of the fiber is reconstructed as the commutant of record exchange. Once the ledger forces the statistics, classical Schur-Weyl duality, imported with no novelty claim, delivers the full unitary group of the fiber: U(3) for three-strand fibers, with an implementation check 165 = 165 and the determinant slot included, and U(2) for the weak fiber, with checks 10 = 10 and 20 = 20. This is in the direction of Doplicher-Roberts reconstruction: group as output of statistics. What is delivered here is the global symmetry group; promotion to a local gauge symmetry with connection and dynamics is an additional step, graded as input where Part III uses it. Color receipts include exact Pauli exclusion for color, ||A_4|| = 0, and uniqueness of the baryon singlet. We state the paper's two named premises, framed transport and collar presentability, and the scope of each result. The matter-content selection built on these structures, together with its falsifiable consequences, appears in Part III.
A charged quantum subsystem is generally not dynamically closed once the electromagnetic degrees of freedom are traced out; its reduced dynamics is then a completely positive semigroup whose dissipator has a charge-dependent rate, . We read this semigroup as a lossy compression and ask a narrow question: of the internal unitary structure , which directions does the loss turn into permanent classical records, and which does it leave untouched? The reading that answers it — charge as the abelian centre , flavour and colour as the non-abelian seed — is taken from the companion charge line; what this note adds is to turn that reading into a dynamical criterion and to fix its boundaries. The rate is charge-dependent: for a fixed monitoring coupling the inter-sector decoherence rate is (bare is its value against the reference; Fermi’s golden rule fixes the coupling). This classicalizes the charge-sector label — coherence between distinct charge sectors decays and the sector basis is einselected — while the interior of each fixed charge sector, including a nonzero-charge sector, can stay unitarily reversible in this electromagnetic channel; the non-abelian (flavour/colour) directions, being charge-preserving, sit inside that reversible interior. Calling the einselected label a record in the operational sense requires more than dephasing (a charge-resolving environment output for an accessible record, redundancy for a durable one). Finiteness of the resolution available to distinguish neighbouring sectors then restricts the record’s spectrum to a discrete lattice (integer-valued only after normalization by the lattice unit) — given a finite-resolution premise. We separate what is borrowed (einselection; that charge decoheres into a record; ; the reading and the maintenance and Wick-bridge results of the companion lines) from the two things this note contributes: an imaginary-chemical-potential entry that relocates the analysis from the Hermitian dilation to the reduced generator’s anti-Hermitian part (the dilation exists but is not load-bearing), and a distinction between two “centres” that keeps the account from re-deriving known superselection results. The number of generations is not addressed: that is seed, not theorem.

The four axioms of Modular Entropic Gravity (MEG) implicitly contain the Doplicher–Haag–Roberts (DHR) superselection structure of algebraic quantum field theory. This paper establishes the result through a four-link chain: Axiom 1 (modular Hamiltonians of local regions) commits the theory to the Haag–Kastler framework; Axiom 3 (Bisognano–Wichmann and the PLES functional) provides a mass gap with exponential clustering; Axiom 2 (JLMS) restricts physical states to a class satisfying the Buchholz–Fredenhagen exponential localisation criterion, as proved for an explicitly defined admissible state class with bounded modular energy; and the DHR theorem then implies superselection sectors labelled by representations of a compact group, with block decomposition of regional operator algebras and block-diagonal admissible states. The paper demonstrates that this result has consequences beyond the gauge theory application for which it was first identified in the MEG programme (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19635025). Specifically, it completes the Born rule dissolution established in the companion paper on convex field representations (Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19600153). That paper showed that within a single superselection sector, the Born rule is not a separate measurement postulate but a structural feature of the convex entropy field representation. What it could not address was the origin of the sector structure itself. The DHR superselection structure answers three questions left open by the Born rule paper, all from the axioms alone. First, why do sectors exist? — because the DHR theorem reconstructs them from the Haag–Kastler framework with mass gap and exponential localisation. Second, why are cross-sector superpositions forbidden? — because JLMS-admissible states are block-diagonal, a theorem of the DHR framework rather than a postulate. Third, why are cross-sector branches distinguishable? — because states in distinct sectors carry different quantum numbers under the DHR group, forcing their entropy field configurations to differ. The synthesis gives the Born rule and superselection structure from the MEG axioms: the sector decomposition from DHR (this paper), the Born rule within each sector from the convex dissolution (companion paper), and the absence of cross-sector interference from the block-diagonal constraint. No independent probability postulate is required.x
A finite interface either admits a single classical assignment consistent across all the records it holds at once — a global Boolean section — or it does not. This paper develops the gauge-sector consequences of that dividing line inside a capacity-denominated cost calculus, and it is built to be verified from this document and one public repository alone. We prove exact, finite theorems: a characterization theorem forcing cost = count from three axioms with no continuity hypothesis; an additivity theorem and a non-monotonicity no-go for the superadditive surplus Δ; the classification of sharp gauge-invariant colour records at every N (the unique meson record is the entangled singlet, the unique N-fundamental record is the entangled baryon, with an abelian control showing both are non-abelian features); and a contextuality census of gauge-invariant interfaces, including an exact Kochen–Specker colouring obstruction in the physical SU(3) octet channel and an exact 1/6 robustness floor for the verdict. The centerpiece is a fully worked model: SU(2) Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory at strong coupling, static sources joined by flux strings, where Δ is computed on a precisely defined cut and set beside the standard diagnostic. The verdict is structured — co-movement on the N-ality partition, under-determination beyond sign within a family, divergence on split flux, and a checked witness that the capacity side never recomputes the Casimir — and the structure is the result. One section, clearly bounded, reads these theorems onto confinement; it declares its imports and conditions its conclusions on a named saturation premise. No energy gap is derived, no line-operator algebra is constructed, and no thermal claim is made; the paper says exactly where those boundaries sit and why. Every theorem carries a named machine-verified certificate in exact arithmetic.

Finite observability is built in two stages. First, abstractly: a finite observer resolving realvaluedregisters carries a dimensionless ledger of distinctions, capped in total at λmax, withtwo coordinates — the capped total λ+ = λu + λv and the free split λ− = λv − λu. Second,the registers are reformulated as a conjugate pair (u, v) by positing the symplectic pairing,which dresses the capped total as a resolution cell of minimum area K = δu δv; a second,per-pair finiteness Luv ceilings the rate at which distinguishable change is exchanged betweenthe members, and marks the distinguished (null-diagonal) cell on the saturation locus. Theshared ledger makes the reciprocal cell a consequence, not a postulate: split-invariance forcesexponential resolution maps, and δu δv = K is the full-budget locus. From this we derive:noncommutativity at scale K; the imaginary unit as the saturated cell’s complex structure; aconstructed wave with Schr¨odinger-form evolution and a Born rule as Fubini–Study transitionprobability; one unconditional causal theorem (subluminal propagation equivalent to a nonnegativedispersion invariant); a forced first-order (Clifford) form; measurement decomposedinto the cell’s own motions, with one testable consequence — collapse of massive superpositionsabove a derived ceiling (∼ 1012–1014 amu) on the Di´osi–Penrose timescale via a conservative,non-radiating mechanism; the non-fixability of the scale; and composites as differentiated cellbundles. The physical reading — position and momentum, c, Dirac, gauge fields and gravity— is deferred entirely to a companion paper. The claim here is structural: the grammar of onefinite-observability conjugate pair, with no particular physical pair assumed.
