Audit review

The paper proves the equality h^S_μ(T,α)=H_μ(α|K^v_μ) by establishing (i) an upper bound for every S and (ii) a constructive lower bound along some S, via a carefully built skew-product and a compactness/limit-operator argument; the candidate solution follows a different, standard route (Park’s skew-product plus Koopman–von Neumann) and reaches the same conclusion. Minor issues in the model’s outline (uniform sequence claim; a too-strong interval claim; and a sketchy use of Rohlin-metric continuity) are fixable using the paper’s Lemma 3.2/Theorem 2.6 and a standard diagonal argument, so the two approaches are substantively correct and compatible.

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field

\textbf{Justification:}

The paper is technically solid and self-contained, proving a directional analogue of classical results on the Kronecker factor and sequence entropy. The argument balances general functional-analytic tools (Koopman–von Neumann) with careful combinatorial/measure arguments (compactness vs. zero sequence entropy; skew-product straightening). Minor editorial improvements would further enhance readability and situate the contribution within the directional entropy literature.
