Inverse Clebsch–Gordan maps and Casimir spectral projections #
The normalized Clebsch–Gordan inclusions admit module-linear projections back to each
signed ladder summand. Their composites are the spectral projections of the Casimir:
the projection onto channel j is the Lagrange polynomial which is one at that channel's
Casimir scalar and zero at the other channel scalars, evaluated on the Casimir action.
Thus each channel is exactly a Casimir eigenspace, and these projections resolve the
identity, commute with every module endomorphism, and are natural with respect to module
maps on the two tensor factors via LadderModule.schurScalar. The projections extract
components in the normalized highest-vector and lowering string bases, as needed when
comparing iterated tensor decompositions.
The inclusions and their normalization are those of clebschGordanInclusion; no choice of
basis or normalization is made in defining the inverse maps.

The projections are the components of the inverse decomposition map.
The inverse map recovers the j-th component of a Clebsch–Gordan expansion.
The normalized channel projections reconstruct every tensor vector.
The channel endomorphisms resolve the identity as module maps.
The channel projection followed by its inclusion is the explicit Casimir spectral projection: evaluate the corresponding Lagrange basis polynomial on the Casimir action.
A channel is exactly the Casimir eigenspace with its highest-weight scalar.
Channel projection commutes with every module endomorphism of the tensor product.
At a generic parameter, the tensor product of endomorphisms of two signed ladder modules acts by the product of their Schur scalars.
