For each interaction neighbourhood, setThen the shell term is . Since , its conjugation leaves fixed, so . Since , is precisely the choice of from (b). Therefore the telescoping local-shell decomposition givesNo limiting interchange is needed: the sum has finitely many shells. Each is supported within the union of supports appearing in together with , because its unitary time evolution acts trivially outside that neighbourhood. The individual shell terms need not commute with the full ground state projector; the full filtered sum does.
