Matrix coefficients of product comodules #
This file records how matrix coefficients behave for the direct-sum/product comodule. If
M × N carries Comodule.Prod, a coefficient of a vector (m, n) is the sum of the
corresponding left and right coefficients. Consequently the coefficient submodule, and in
an algebra the coefficient subalgebra, generated by M × N is the supremum of the two
objects generated by M and by N.
This is a small Layer 1 prerequisite for the reductive-groups roadmap: matrix coefficients are the coalgebra-side functions attached to representations, and the finite-dimensional representation category needs their behavior under finite direct sums.

This is the standard direct-sum behavior of matrix coefficients of comodules; see Sweedler,
Hopf Algebras, Chapter 2. It builds on Tau Ceti's Comodule.Prod construction.
