• Abstract: Degenerate quantum eigenspaces can support substantial changes in nodal geometry at fixed energy. We show that, for the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator, this restructuring is organized by the Hermite-constrained algebraic curve $P_N(x,y)=0$ appearing in every real shell state, $ψ_N=e^{-αr^2/2}P_N(x,y)$. Finite singularities, $P_N=\nabla P_N=0$, and projective degeneracies of the leading homogeneous part identify the strata where topology-changing events can occur. We combine these criteria with entropy diagnostics: the nodal-domain entropy $S_{\mathrm{dom}}$, Cartesian mutual information $I(x;y)$, and the entropic uncertainty sum $S_r+S_p$. The first three shells reveal a hierarchy: $N=1$ only rotates a nodal line; $N=2$ has a conic transition at $b^2=2ac$, sharply detected by $S_{\mathrm{dom}}$ but not by global entropies; and $N=3$ supports cubic close-branch regimes organized by the projective discriminant, with enhanced responses in $S_{\mathrm{dom}}$ and $I(x;y)$. Thus algebraic stratification, rather than spectral ordering, organizes nodal geometry inside a degenerate eigenspace, while entropy diagnostics quantify probability redistribution and correlation. The framework suggests experimentally reconstructible signatures for real-phase Hermite--Gaussian structured light and approximately isotropic trapped motional systems.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.
