V.D37 — CMB constraint surface
The CMB constraint surface Sigma_CMB = H_partial[omega]|_{n=n_rec} is the state of the boundary holonomy algebra at the recombination orbit depth, encoding the mean temperature (gamma-sector energy scale), the anisotropy spectrum (angular character distribution), and the polarization pattern.
