Distributed Energy Borrowing

A state begins off the conserving shell, relaxes back toward it, then sends ripple-like redistribution along the shell. The normal motion repairs excess mismatch; the tangential motion spreads that correction.

What you are seeing

conserving shell
off-shell disturbance / excess
redistribution field / ripples
repair trajectory
Geometry: shell = admissible band around a fixed energy level
Repair: motion normal to the shell
Redistribution: wave-like transport along the shell
