LF4 §14 states obligation: mixed states / density operators as ontic eigen-mixtures #
Category: 3-Local (LF4 §14 discharge — the density-operator / mixed-state case of the states obligation).
This module discharges the mixed-state part of the §14 states obligation, completing the
states-side realisation begun for pure states / rank-one projectors in
LF4/ObservableCorrespondenceN.lean (pure_state_born_prob_eq_volume).
A density operator ρ is realised as an ontic eigen-mixture: its Born probability
Tr(ρ · |φ⟩⟨φ|) of a projective outcome |φ⟩ is the ρ-eigenvalue-weighted sum of the ontic
typicality measures of ρ's pure eigenstates, on the fibred arena Σ = ℂℙ^M × T²
(mixed_state_born_eq_ensemble_volume). This composes three existing pieces:
- the spectral ensemble
Tr(ρ · E) = ∑ᵢ λᵢ · Tr(|eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ| · E)(SigmaLayer.mixedEnsemble_capstone); - the pure Born rule
Tr(|eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ| · |φ⟩⟨φ|) = ‖⟨eᵢ, φ⟩‖²(LF2.born_quadratic); - the pure-state ontic realisation
‖⟨φ, eᵢ⟩‖² = μ(globalBasin (momentContext _) 0)at the transported ray[Wᴴ eᵢ](pure_state_born_prob_eq_basin, the fibred twin ofLF4.pure_state_born_prob_eq_volume), withWa unitary sendinge₀ ↦ φ.
⚠️ No genericity hypothesis. The base-side route carried hpos on each transported
eigenvector Wᴴ eᵢ (the outcome φ had to overlap every eigenvector of ρ). The fibred route
goes through the unconditional globalBasin_born, so the migration removed that restriction:
every density operator and every pure outcome is now covered. This realises the density operator
(mixed state) as an ontic object — the
state-side content underlying the resource bundle NoBroadcasting (a bipartite ρ confined to a
pure marginal). Foundational triple; carving-free, Gleason-free.

★ The pure-state realisation on the fibred arena — the fibred twin of
pure_state_born_prob_eq_volume (CR-4).
The Born probability ‖⟨Φ, ψ⟩‖² is the epistemic typicality measure of the global basin of
index 0 at the transported ray [Wᴴ ψ], on Σ = ℂℙ^M × T².
⚠️ The genericity hypothesis is gone. The base-side theorem carries hpos (the outcome must
overlap every basis direction) because it goes through fsMeasure_bornRegionN. The fibred route
goes through CSD.RecordLayer.globalBasin_born, which is unconditional, so migrating this
statement drops a hypothesis rather than moving one.
Placement. This lives here rather than beside the other CR-4 engine twins in
RecordLayer/BasinFrequency.lean because it has exactly one consumer, the capstone below
(CONVENTIONS.md §9, rule of two). If a second consumer appears, move it there.
§14 states obligation — the mixed-state / density-operator case. A density operator ρ is
realised as an ontic eigen-mixture: the Born probability Tr(ρ · |φ⟩⟨φ|) of a projective
outcome |φ⟩ is the ρ-eigenvalue-weighted sum of the ontic typicality measures of ρ's pure
eigenstates on the fibred arena. Composes the spectral ensemble (mixedEnsemble_capstone), the
pure Born rule (born_quadratic), and the pure-state realisation
(pure_state_born_prob_eq_basin). No genericity hypothesis. Foundational triple.
⚠️ hφ0 is not a residual restriction: Wᴴ eᵢ has norm one (unitary_transport_norm), so
its nonzero-ness is derivable. The binder is there because Projectivization.mk takes the proof
as data, not because the theorem needs an assumption.
This realises the density operator (mixed state) as an ontic object — the state-side content
underlying NoBroadcasting (a bipartite ρ confined to a pure marginal).
