Concrete example first

Take (H_t={\bot<m<\top}), with stabilizer sending (m\mapsto\top), and drift sending (m\mapsto\top) while fixing (\bot,\top).

Then:

  • (m) is not fixed by either map,
  • (\bot) and (\top) are fixed by both.

So the stable-at-trace subset is (H_t^*={\bot,\top}).

Formal definition

The fixed layer (H^) is assembled from fiberwise fixed sets [ H_t^={a\in H_t\mid \sigma_t(a)=a=\Delta_t(a)} ] across all traces (t).

When reindexing preserves fixed points, these (H_t^) form a subsheaf (H^\subseteq H). This is the dynamically coherent layer of recognitions in GFRTU.

Why it matters in GFRTU

  • It isolates recognitions stable under both consolidation and evolution.
  • It provides the base for the stability locale and defect analysis.
  • It is the canonical “reliable core” used by higher constructions.
