Reconstruction Defects, Diffeomorphism Ward Identities, and Conservation
How is geometric and matter mismatch encoded locally?
What this part establishes
A defect tensor packages mismatch between the reconstructed metric and matter state, while distinct Noether and Ward identities control its divergence under stated on-shell and anomaly assumptions.
Boundary of the claim
A nonzero defect does not determine a unique microscopic relaxation law.
