I still can't understand what you are saying. You make it sound like a necessary condition for having zero variance has something to do with the fact that the two values in the 4th eigenvector are equal ... or that they are "inversely correlated" ... depending on which of your posts I read.

I don't see this. I don't see any necessary or sufficient conditions for having a zero variance for a component based upon the numbers contained in the eigenvector.
