Empirical/CSD: Hardy's probability as a derived Kähler-volume frequency #
Category: 3-Local (CSD-ontic layer; genuine volume derivation, not a transport tag, and not conditional on any preparation bundle).
The two-qubit (N = 4) surfacing of LF4.born_frequency_convergence_N for the
Hardy state at the golden-ratio maximum, in the spirit of
Empirical/CSD/BellVolume.lean and Empirical/CSD/GHZVolume.lean.
What this adds over the QM layer #
Empirical/QM/Hardy.lean closes the Hardy paradox: no LHV distribution
satisfies the four Hardy constraints (no_lhv_hardy), QM realises them
(exists_hardy_realisation_max), and the maximal Hardy probability is the
closed-form (5√5 − 11)/2 ≈ 9.017 % (hardyMax_probability_eq). That number is
an inner-product Born value. This file derives the same number as a genuine
Fubini–Study typicality volume on the ontic Σ = ℂℙ³: carving-free,
Gleason-free, unconditional.
The interior-point property (no boundary obstruction) #
Unlike the GHZ state — a stabiliser state that is sparse in its Mermin bases and
therefore a boundary point of the probability simplex (GHZVolume.lean) — the
golden-ratio Hardy state
|ψ_max⟩ ∝ |00⟩ + √φ |01⟩ + √φ |10⟩ − φ² |11⟩ (φ = (1+√5)/2)
has all four computational-basis amplitudes nonzero. Its Born weights
P_00 = 1/(5φ+3) = (5√5−11)/2, P_01 = P_10 = φ/(5φ+3), P_11 = φ⁴/(5φ+3),
are all strictly positive, so the Hardy state is an interior point of the
3-simplex and the genericity hypothesis hpos of born_frequency_convergence_N
holds outright — no Φ ∈ (0,π) carve-out is needed, the full Hardy instance is
covered. P_00 is exactly the Hardy probability the experiment measures.
What is and is not claimed #
Derived (carving-free, Gleason-free, unconditional). The four Born weights
are the genuine Fubini–Study volumes of the barycentric moment regions on ℂℙ³,
and i.i.d. FS trials have frequencies converging a.s. to them. In particular the
Hardy probability (5√5 − 11)/2 is a Kähler volume. No busch_effect_gleason,
no carving, no preparation bundle.
Not claimed. (i) The closed-form amplitudes are the physics input (cf. LF3
cAmp, BellVolume); identifying hardyVolVec with the abstract Hardy state in
the computational basis is the amplitude identity, supplied by construction —
the amplitudes here are exactly those of QM/Hardy.lean's hardyMaxVec,
normalised. (ii) Region → physical-outcome labelling is LF4-todo §14. The LHV
impossibility itself lives in QM/Hardy.lean.

Helpers (file-local, mirroring GHZVolume.lean) #
5φ + 3 > 0 (the squared norm of the golden-ratio Hardy state).
The normalisation nrm = √(5φ+3) = ‖ψ_max‖.
Instances For
The normalised golden-ratio Hardy state on ℂℙ³ #
The golden-ratio Hardy state, normalised onto Fin 4 ↔ (Fin 2 × Fin 2):
amplitudes (1, √φ, √φ, −φ²)/√(5φ+3). These are exactly the amplitudes of
QM/Hardy.lean's hardyMaxVec, divided by ‖ψ_max‖ = √(5φ+3).

Instances For
The four Born weights #
Norm, non-vanishing, genericity #
Genericity: all four Born weights are strictly positive (the Hardy state is an
interior point of the 3-simplex), so born_frequency_convergence_N applies with no
boundary carve-out.
The Hardy volume-frequency capstone #
Hardy's maximal probability as a derived Kähler volume. The |00⟩
computational-basis Born weight of the golden-ratio Hardy state — the quantity the
Hardy experiment measures — equals the closed-form maximum (5√5 − 11)/2 ≈ 9.017 %, here obtained as a genuine Fubini–Study typicality volume on the ontic
Σ = ℂℙ³ (via born_value_zero + QM/Hardy.lean's hardyMax_value).
CSD Hardy joint frequencies as derived Kähler-volume convergence. For
i.i.d. trials drawing microstates from the Fubini–Study typicality measure on the
ontic Σ = ℂℙ³, the empirical frequencies of the four barycentric Born outcome
regions converge, on a single almost-sure event, to the golden-ratio Hardy state's
joint Born weights ‖⟨eᵢ, hardyVolVec⟩‖² — the i = 0 coordinate of which is
Hardy's maximal probability (5√5 − 11)/2 (hardy_max_volume_probability).
Carving-free, Gleason-free, unconditional — no busch_effect_gleason, no carved
regions, no preparation bundle. The amplitude values are the physics input; the
volume = Born number step is derived.
