Sharp Fluctuation Bounds and the Unique Optimal Code in a Spin-3/2 Quantum Tetrahedron
AUTHOR-SUBMITTED PREPRINT • v2.5 A binary measurement can hide logical-state dependence on its first read and reveal it when repeated. We study rank-two logical codes in singlet sectors of four equal positive spins, requiring all three opposite-pair correlations to have state-independent means. Spin 3/2 is the smallest spin supporting such a code. In its four-dimensional singlet sector, every fixed-pair-mean code obeys sum_O g_O >= 64/75 and max_O g_O >= 64/225, where g_O is the width of the compressed second moment. Both bounds are attained by a unique code plane. The optimizer is the span of the unique totally antisymmetric and totally symmetric singlets and, equivalently, the maximal-absolute-eigenvalue subspace of the oriented triple product Q = J_1 dot (J_2 cross J_3). Its two sharp-Q states have opposite handedness while sharing all individual pair-measurement distributions. Under sequential binary readout with classical records, inaccessible measurement environments, and no quantum bypass memory, a self-contained Bell-recovery bound yields an explicit response inequality. Exact recovery at detector strength eta > 0 forces each conditional-response width to satisfy d_i = eta g_i/2, and known-code conditional restoration attains this requirement. Uniform pair selection therefore has the attained minimum D = 32 eta/225. Accessible word privacy alone remains insufficient when unread noise can erase the logical state.
