Fixed complements to nearby operator ranges #
A continuous family of split injections with a complete ambient space has a single closed
complement to its ranges near each parameter. The complement parametrizes all nearby
quotients through ContinuousLinearMap.quotientRangeEquiv. This is the local
linear input for quotient bundles, such as the intrinsic normal bundle of an immersion.
The proof uses Mathlib's ContinuousLinearEquiv.equivOfRightInverse and openness of
invertibility. Completeness of the nearby complements — the complete model fibres above —
follows from ContinuousLinearMap.completeSpace_of_isInvertible, which transfers completeness
of the codomain back to the domain of an invertible operator.
Complementary coordinate operators are continuous on a domain of valid splittings, using
Mathlib's regularity of operator inversion.

A fixed complement to a split injection still parametrizes the quotient by every sufficiently nearby range. The source and ambient spaces may be infinite dimensional.
Complementary coordinate operators are continuous at a parameter where the operator family is continuous and the fixed complement is valid.
A continuous operator family with a fixed valid complement has continuous complementary coordinate operators. The parameter space need only be topological.
