We derive the exact triangular decomposition of<br>any size-symmetric Bondareva–Shapley (B–S) functional into aggregated canonical testers bbk. We then prove unconditionally that the associated coefficients γk are nonnegative (the Generator Property), via an LP extreme-point reduction and exact combinatorial identities (a Beta-function identity and subset-of-a-subset factorization). This settles the generator gap and implies that any global violation yields a positive canonical deficit in some size k (an L–GCAS).<br>(II) Canonical localization. Using a quantitative canonicalization lemma (via Erd˝os–<br>Rado canonical Ramsey), we upgrade a positive expectation margin to an explicit canonical witness P with Fk(P ) > 0.<br>(III) Minimax orbit smoothing and finite reductions. We formalize orbit averag-<br>ing, the size-symmetric subspace, exact formulas for layer-uniform witnesses, and a conic Carath´eodory reduction that yields few-size canonical certificates.<br>(IV) Limits of globalization and structured regimes. We prove a model-free No-<br>Go theorem: internal dividends of P cannot universally bound cross-capacity S(P ; N \ P ). Consequently, L–to–G globalization requires structure.
