Empirical/CSD: the d=3 SIC-POVM (Hesse) and its Born weights as Kähler volumes #

Category: 3-Local (CSD-ontic layer; the first symmetric non-qubit (N = 3) entry in the volume-frequency series — the genuine dimension-3 SIC).

The d=3 SIC-POVM (symmetric informationally-complete POVM in dimension three) is the Hesse configuration: the 9 = d² Weyl–Heisenberg orbit states of the fiducial f = (0, 1, −1)/√2, ψ_{a,b} = Xᵃ Zᵇ f with X the cyclic shift |j⟩ ↦ |j+1⟩, Z the clock |j⟩ ↦ ωʲ|j⟩, ω = e^{2πi/3}. Concretely

ψ_{0,b} ∝ (0, ωᵇ, −ω²ᵇ),   ψ_{1,b} ∝ (−ω²ᵇ, 0, ωᵇ),   ψ_{2,b} ∝ (ωᵇ, −ω²ᵇ, 0)

(each × 1/√2). The effects are E_{a,b} = (1/3)|ψ_{a,b}⟩⟨ψ_{a,b}|; it is a genuine POVM because the orbit is a tight frame, ∑_{a,b}|ψ_{a,b}⟩⟨ψ_{a,b}| = 3 I₃, so ∑ E_{a,b} = I₃. It is symmetric in the strong (SIC) sense |⟨ψⱼ,ψₖ⟩|² = 1/4 for j ≠ k (sic3_inner_normSq), the dimension-3 analogue of the qubit tetrahedron.

The first symmetric qutrit entry; the dilation lives on ℂℙ^{N·|ι|−1} = ℂℙ²⁶ (N = 3, |ι| = 9). The capstone routes through the hpos-free engine (povm_born_frequency_volume_uncond, LF4/BornRegionUncond.lean), so no genericity hypothesis on the dilated state is carried (2026-06-11 migration).

                The equiangular SIC property #

                ⟨x, y⟩ = ∑ⱼ star(xⱼ)·yⱼ on ℂ³.

                inner (sicState a b) (sicState c d) ^ 2 = 1 / 4

                The defining SIC symmetry: all pairwise overlaps are equal, |⟨ψⱼ, ψₖ⟩|² = 1/4 for j ≠ k. The nine states are equiangular — the dimension-3 analogue of the Bloch tetrahedron (1/(d+1) = 1/4).

                Closed-form SIC Born weights: for a unit preparation ψ, p_{a,b}(ψ) = (1/3)‖⟨ψ_{a,b}, ψ⟩‖².

                The d=3 SIC-POVM Born weights as Kähler volumes (the capstone). Instantiating povm_born_frequency_volume_uncond at the Hesse SIC: i.i.d. Fubini–Study trials on the dilated ontic Σ' = ℂℙ²⁶ have each SIC outcome's empirical frequency converge, on a single almost-sure event, to the SIC Born weight p_{a,b}(ψ) = ⟨ψ, E_{a,b} ψ⟩ = (1/3)‖⟨ψ_{a,b},ψ⟩‖² — realised as a sum of Fubini–Study volumes of the dilated barycentric cells. The first symmetric non-qubit entry in the volume-frequency series; carving-free, Gleason-free, and (since the 2026-06-11 hpos migration) with no genericity hypothesis on the dilated state — notably, ψ ⊥ ψ_{a,b} (a SIC outcome weight exactly zero) is covered.
