CsdLean4.Empirical.CSD.ElitzurVaidmanVolume

Empirical/CSD: the Elitzur–Vaidman split probability as a Kähler typicality volume #

Category: 3-Local (CSD-ontic layer).

The CSD twin of [Empirical/QM/ElitzurVaidman.lean]. In the bomb tester, after the first beam splitter the photon is in H|0⟩ = (|0⟩+|1⟩)/√2, and the 1/2 weights (survive, and the conditioned dark-port) are the Born weights |⟨e, H|0⟩⟩|² = 1/2. Here that 1/2 is realised as a Fubini–Study typicality volume on the ontic Σ = ℂℙ¹: for the beam-splitter state |+⟩ = (|0⟩+|1⟩)/√2,

μ_FS { [φ] : Φ₀([φ]) ≤ Φ₀([|+⟩]) } = 1/2,

with volume = Born computed via Duistermaat–Heckman (carving-free, busch_effect_gleason-free). So the interaction-free-measurement branch weights are ontic typicality volumes.

    The Elitzur–Vaidman 1/2 split probability is a Fubini–Study typicality volume. The beam splitter's Born weight 1/2 (the survival / conditioned-dark-port weight) equals the FS volume of the moment-sublevel region cut by [|+⟩] on the ontic ℂℙ¹ — Born as Kähler volume, via Duistermaat–Heckman.
