We study whether a tree-level MHV gravity numerator is determined by its degree and by vanishing on $\langle ij\rangle=[ij]=0$ for every pair. A flag-variety standard-monomial basis and an $S_n$-resolved restriction map reduce the problem to exact finite-dimensional calculations. At seven points we find $W_{7,\mathbb{Q}}\simeq S^{(2,1^5)}\oplus S^{(1^7)}$. The Hodges numerator spans the sign summand, while the six-dimensional hook gives additional algebraic solutions. The pair-ideal conditions therefore do not determine a unique algebraic solution, but Bose symmetry selects the Hodges line. At eight points, pair-ideal conditions and Bose symmetry leave a two-dimensional alternating space. Same-helicity BCFW scaling, normalized collinear factorization, and the leading soft coefficient impose the same linear condition and select the Hodges line. We also prove that, at arbitrary multiplicity, an alternating fixed-degree numerator is determined by its full value on one collinear boundary with the marked legs and their spinor ratio fixed. Together with standard factorization, this determines the numerator up to normalization within the fixed-common-denominator ansatz. All rank and ideal-membership calculations use exact integer or rational arithmetic, and their finite-dimensional consequences are checked separately in Lean.
