I interpreted this to mean that each pixel obtained a genuine R,G,B sample by the lateral movement(s) ?

They do it by three images; first as is, second one pixel horizontal up and third one pixel vertical shifted, then stitched together

In practice a convolution of each pixel then, done in real time. Adds interpreted RGB data to the pixel and smears resolution.(the latter if pixel luminance also is taken into account, otherwise it'll mainly be an operation on the spatial colour distribution).

The Leica M Monochrom doesn't have a Bayer filter,,,,

I was under the impression that the software end of the Bayer filter was still in place although the tri-color filters were removed from the image sensor. Maybe I misunderstood, I would hope so.

Thanks for the correction.
