PFT — Phase-Damaged Light: π-Carrier Distortion Corridor
Blue = E (in-plane)
Green = B (out-of-plane)
Both flatline on carrier (2-D); restored with π/2 on 3-D side
Red band = distortion corridor (Γ)
Loop animation with cumulative phase damage
The corridor applies a stochastic field Γ(x) on the 2-D side and accumulates
phase damage Δψ(x) which persists into the 3-D region.
