Polynomial coordinates on the canonical nonlinear quotient #
Selected nonconstant, non-input coefficients vanish on the polynomial free-data submodule, so the coefficient feature factors through the canonical quotient by inputs and named constants. The rank of a selected coefficient matrix is therefore bounded by the coordinate-free quotient-output rank.
This identifies coefficient arguments as explicit coordinate witnesses for the canonical quotient obstruction rather than a separate lower-bound method.
Selected coefficients, descended to the quotient by free inputs and named constants.

Instances For
Descending to the quotient and then taking selected coefficients agrees with taking selected coefficients directly.
Selected coefficient-matrix rank cannot exceed the canonical output rank modulo free inputs and named constants.
If the selected coefficient feature has exactly the free-data submodule as its kernel, then its matrix rank equals the canonical quotient-output rank.
The coordinate comparison and canonical quotient theorem recover the selected coefficient-matrix multiplication lower bound.
