The condition [gZ​,P0​]=0 makes a unique global ground state an eigenvector of every filtered term, but its termwise eigenvalues can exceed the corresponding minima. For example h12​=∣1⟩⟨1∣1​+∣0⟩⟨0∣2​ and h23​=∣1⟩⟨1∣3​+2∣1⟩⟨1∣2​ commute with their sum. Their sum is uniquely minimized by ∣000⟩, yet h12​ is lower on ∣010⟩. Filtering leaves these commuting terms unchanged, so it cannot force frustration freeness.
