For a field $F$ , let $R_F(n)$ be the exact rank of the square matrix multiplication coefficient tensor of size $n$ , and let $\nu_F=\inf_{n\ge2}\log R_F(n)/\log n$ . Let $S$ be a preordered commutative semiring with nonnegative elements and monotone addition and multiplication. Suppose a monotone function $\rho:S\to\mathbb N$ satisfies $\rho(ms)\le m\rho(s)$ for natural $m$ , and a map $M:\mathbb N\to S$ satisfies

M(ab)=M(a)M(b),\quad M(a^j)=M(a)^j,\quad\rho(M(a))=R_F(a).

Assume also that $R_F(g)\le n^j$ implies $M(g)\le n^j$ in $S$ , for all natural $n,j,g$ . If $d,k,C\in\mathbb N$ , $d>0$ , and $D,s\in S$ satisfy $1\le s$ , $D+M(d)s\le D+ks$ , and $D\le Cs$ , then

d^{\nu_F}\le k.

These explicit compatibility hypotheses connect an abstract catalytic inequality with actual tensor rank.
