In quantum field theory above two spacetime dimensions, one is usually only able to construct exact operator maps from UV to IR of strongly coupled renormalization group flows for the most symmetry-protected observables. Famous examples include maps of chiral rings in 4D N=2 supersymmetry. In this Letter, we construct the first nonperturbative UV-IR map for less protected operators: starting from a particularly "simple" UV strongly coupled non-Lagrangian 4D N=2 quantum field theory, we show that a universal nonchiral quarter-Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield ring can be mapped exactly and bijectively to the IR. In particular, strongly coupled UV dynamics governing infinitely many null states manifest in the IR via Fermi statistics of free gauginos. Using the concept of arc space, this bijection allows us to compute the exact UV Macdonald index in the IR.
