Will that be professor rate or consultant rate?

Here are some. I forgot where I got my A2s that fit perfectly, but these are 1/4" wide.

The flanking magnets face the same polarity as the one it’s facing. So if that set of poles is south, both the center and flanking magnets have south facing the poles.
So it’s like
N-S || S——N || N-S

What matrix are the coils embedded in? Mesh shielding?

I thought forcing like-poles together demagnetized magnets over time. How does this work in the long run?

Well, yes it does. They still have a keeper bar between them, so they are not in full contact of course. Its why p90 mags from 50's and 60's guitars are often quite a bit weaker than when they first were assembled.
But of course if you put them in the other way they cancel and you get pretty much no output.

It does. However, in practice, depending on the magnet, to get a noticeable effect due to degaussing might take about 50 years for A3 mags, probably two hundred years for A5 and maybe a thousand years to never for ceramic.

It happens faster if you have magnets that don't match. A ceramic could probably degauss an A3 in much less than 50 years.

Stock bridge humbucker from a Godin Core. It's a G&B with ceramic mag. Single, thick ceramic magnet. Flanking the magnet on each side are double stacked plastic spacers.
Baseplate removed.
The neck bucker is the same, just not wound quite as hot, although they are both pretty hot (near 11K neck and just over 12K bridge).
The neck was intermittent and I traced it back to a damaged hot wire where it entered the outer jacket of the lead, behind the tape. These were factory terminated as two wire pickups but they are all set up for 4 wire.
The ground is tied to the shield and the series link is tied together under factory heat shrink at the end of the cable so only the bare shield and hot wire were exposed for hookup. They could have easily been wired to split just by cutting off the heat shrink at the end of the cable to get to the extra wires buried there.
I didn't take a photo of the neck pickup but since I had to repair/replace the damaged hot wire, I just went ahead and replaced with vintage braid. I don't and never will coil split these pickups and since the switch and jack has been wired with braided cable, I decided to do the same when replacing the damaged lead for the neck pickup. Then, of course, I had to re-wire the perfectly functioning bridge pickup just so it would match.
Photo of the bridge pickup after removing the tape, cutting back some of the lead and pulling the outer jacket.
After re-wiring with the braided cable and soldering connections at the pickup.
Taped back up.
A bit of a PITA with the mini pots (Bourns) but all wired back up in the control cavity.
So, why bother messing with a set of cheap, ferrite mag, Asian import, factory pups? Nope, I wouldn't put these in everything I own, but I love these pickups in this guitar. They are different. They really don't do clean very well. But the neck isn't muddy, the bridge doesn't cause ear bleeds and there is an awesome grit and raunch to these pups that does dirty blues and rock really well. They sound frickin awesome with a rangemaster into a Marshall. I love them in this guitar.

I don't think they were endorsments, per se. Just named after them. They were pups that represented their sound. And he didn't "rip off" BL. Dime came to him and said, "make me one of these." It's a subtle, yet significant, distinction.

The magnets are touching steel screws or a keeper. Also most of the time these are ceramic magnets, which are difficult to demagnetize compared to alnico.
But P-90s have two alnicos with the same poles facing the screws.
