Abstract

We prove positivity of a compensated homogeneous permanent derivative for centered complex positive semidefinite matrices of order six whose real parts satisfy a fixed spectral pinch. With trace r>0 and P=I-J/6, the closed inequalities (7r/40)P≼Re K≼(9r/40)P imply F_4(K)>487r^4. Every positive-semidefinite-allowed imaginary part is included, without a small-phase assumption. The matrices may be singular or arbitrarily ill-conditioned. The proof combines a universal quartic phase bound, certified by an exact rational sum of squares, with the complete quadratic phase coefficient, its operator-norm variations and monotonicity of actual omission coefficients. On the isotropic real base the full phase fiber has the stronger bound 24455r^4. An inherited negative mixed coefficient also excludes a class of global independent-factor tensor certificates, without refuting the repeated-state inequality.
