The structural identity

For any non-isometric holographic code, the expected entropy disagreement between two observers decomposes as a product of a state-class prefactor and a universal scaling function of the dimensions.

Paper Voice

For any non-isometric holographic code with bulk dimension deffd_\text{eff}, encoding two boundary observers AA and BB, the expected absolute difference in entropy reconstructions satisfies a structural identity:

ESASB=F(dA,dB,deff,ρclass)\mathbb{E}|S_A - S_B| = \mathcal{F}(d_A, d_B, d_\text{eff}, \rho_\text{class})

The function F\mathcal{F} decomposes as a product of a state-class-dependent prefactor and a universal scaling function of the dimensions. Established via AEHPV encoding and Haar-measure integration.
