The bulb map

One receptor → one glomerulus is a bijection, so the combinatorial capacity 2N = 128 is carried intact into a spatial odour map. The organisers emerge as R19 Organs in spinodal(γ) order (EBF1 → EMX2 → LHX2). Which glomerulus a receptor targets is axon-guidance chemistry — a named [O].

The 3 OSN organisers emerge as R19 Organs in spinodal(γ) order (EBF1 → EMX2 → LHX2); one-OR→one-glomerulus convergence is a bijection, preserving capacity 2N = 128 as a spatial map. The targeting coordinate is a named [O].

The map's developmental order is forced by measured γ

Smell's substitute for a spatial image is the bulb map: axons of the same receptor converge onto specific glomeruli, turning the receptor-space code into a spatial odour map. The organisers that lay it down (the OSN-identity transcription factors) emerge as R19 Organs in spinodal(γ) order.

The 3 OSN-identity organisers in spinodal(γ) order; dwell ∝ γ1.5 sets relative size. Lowest γ clears its presence threshold first.

The emergence order is EBF1 → EMX2 → LHX2 — monotone in measured γ. Each Organ is absent below 0.9·h* and present above 1.1·h*: an intact downstream pathway with the master switch off still yields absence, a real organ rather than parts.

Convergence is a bijection — it preserves the capacity 2N

One OR → one glomerulus is an injective relabelling of the 7 receptor channels onto 7 bulb positions. A bijection on N channels induces a bijection on their 2N subsets, so the combinatorial capacity is carried into bulb space intact: 2N = 128 distinct spatial images.

Because a bijection preserves chains, the receptor-space nested thermometer maps to a nested spatial thermometer — 4 patterns, glomeruli lighting in the same order. The map inherits the code's order and capacity from the frozen switch and measured γ.

The honest [O] — the targeting coordinate is not in γ

The substrate fixes the map's order and capacity, but not which physical glomerulus a given receptor targets. That coordinate is axon-guidance chemistry — the receptor's own signalling shaping a Neuropilin-1/Sema3A gradient — in its coding sequence, not its promoter γ. This is the same kind of molecular [O] as the odorant key: structure is substrate-derived, specificity is not.
