Eligible interpolation mass is at most one for every point tuple.
Uniform tuple averaging is bounded by distinct averaging plus ldDnoteq.
The pasted mass is the distinct average of globally consistent eligible mass.
The expansion mass is the uniform average of eligible interpolation mass.
If there are not enough coordinates to interpolate, both sides of the reverse mass comparison are zero.
The pasted-minus-expansion mass loss is bounded by the distinctness error.
The distinctness loss is already absorbed by the displayed
lem:over-all-outcomes error term.
The paper's md/q Schwartz–Zippel term and the final distinctness swap fit
inside the two-coefficient slack between ν₆ and ν₇.
This is the arithmetic at ld-pasting.tex lines 1280--1286, isolated from the
operator/probability part of the reverse mass comparison.
A line answer matching every supported completed slice agrees with the vertical line induced by the interpolant chosen from the interpolation support.
This is the uniqueness step in ld-pasting.tex lines 1245--1255: once the
d+1 support slices determine h*, any degree-d vertical-line answer matching
all supported slices at u must be the restriction of h* to that line.
