• Abstract: Lie algebras describe how control Hamiltonians combine in closed quantum systems. In open Markovian systems, however, dissipation introduces irreversible directions that the Lie algebra alone does not retain. A dynamical Lie wedge preserves this information as a convex cone of locally admissible generators. The classical Levi decomposition separates a finite-dimensional Lie algebra into semisimple and solvable parts. In this work, we prove a corresponding decomposition and reconstruction theorem for dynamical Lie wedges. The theorem decomposes the wedge into semisimple and solvable data, records how these components are coupled, and provides a converse reconstruction of the wedge. The framework yields four structural types of the generated algebra. We further prove that the total dissipation strength of every admissible generator depends only on its coordinate in the solvable radical. In particular, if the generated Lie algebra is semisimple, every admissible generator is Hamiltonian. Together, these results extend Lie-algebraic structural methods to irreversible Markovian control and clarify how dissipation is encoded in the generator geometry.
