Existence

Existence as a gauge-invariant triple combining the optimal gauge class, door locus, and residual energy. Flattening energy, optimal gauge, and Theorems E and H.

T1 — Existence of Minimizers

The energy E attains its minimum on the constraint manifold Σ_m. The well-posedness foundation of SCC: every other result is a refinement of the bare existence statement.
