Empirical/CSD: Stern-Gerlach Born values as derived Kähler-volume frequencies #
Category: 3-Local (CSD-ontic layer; genuine volume derivation, not a transport tag).
This file is the carving-free, Gleason-free CSD-ontic reading of the single-qubit Stern-Gerlach Born values. It sits strictly above the other two Stern-Gerlach statements in the corpus:
Empirical/CSD/SternGerlach.lean(csd_sg_*): a transport tag — the Born numbers1,0,1/2are restated from the QM side; the CSD content is a prose realisability claim on the bundle. The numbers are not derived.LF4/SingleQubitKahler.lean(sg_frequency_convergence): a genuine LF3-chain frequency-convergence capstone, but its outcome region is afibreArccarved by construction to volumesgBorn s a(Tier-2). The number is realised, not derived from independent geometry.- this file: the outcome region is the genuine moment-map sublevel set
on the ontic
Σ = ℂℙ¹, whose Fubini–Study volume is computed (via theN = 2Duistermaat–Heckman factfs_moment_pushforward_uniform, now a theorem) to equal the Born weight‖⟨e₀, ψ⟩‖². Sovolume = Bornis derived, not posited by carving, and the chain cites only the foundational triple (nobusch_effect_gleason, noinvariant_measure_uniqueness).
What is and is not claimed #
Derived (Lean-checked, carving-free, Gleason-free). For i.i.d. trials drawing
microstates from the Fubini–Study typicality measure on Σ = ℂℙ¹, the empirical
frequency of the moment-sublevel outcome region cut by [ψ] converges almost
surely to ‖⟨e₀, ψ⟩‖². Instantiating:
ψ = |+z⟩ = e₀⟹ frequency →1(csd_sg_volume_certain);ψbalanced (⟨e₀,ψ⟩ = 1/√2) ⟹ frequency →1/2(csd_sg_volume_half).
These are exactly the Stern-Gerlach predictions P(+z | +z) = 1 and the canonical
50/50 split (|⟨+z|+x⟩|² = 1/2).
Not claimed (the interpretive §14 boundary). Identifying the moment-sublevel
region with the physical "the +z (resp. +x) detector fired" measurement
outcome is the interpretive §14 labelling — a permanent interpretive boundary
(⚠️ RESIDUE(R-007)): the formal operator → Σ-volume dictionary is proved
(LF4/ObservableCorrespondenceN.lean), and only the detector-labelling of the region
stays outside the theorem layer. This file derives the Born numbers as Kähler
volumes. The carved capstone (2) carries the same boundary.

The Born value as a first-coordinate amplitude #
For the fixed measurement outcome e₀, the Born amplitude squared is just the
zeroth-coordinate squared norm: ‖⟨e₀, ψ⟩‖² = ‖ψ₀‖². This is the value the
moment-volume frequency capstone lands on.
A balanced single-qubit state (the 1/2 witness) #
The balanced unit vector (1/√2)|0⟩ + (1/√2)|1⟩, with ⟨e₀, balVec⟩ = 1/√2.
Realises the canonical Stern-Gerlach 50/50 split.

The Stern-Gerlach Born values as derived volume frequencies #
CSD Stern-Gerlach certainty as a derived Kähler-volume frequency.
For i.i.d. trials drawing microstates from the Fubini–Study typicality measure on
Σ = ℂℙ¹, the empirical frequency of the moment-sublevel outcome region cut by
the |+z⟩ ray converges almost surely to 1 — the P(+z | +z) = 1 Born value.
The limit is ‖⟨e₀, e₀⟩‖² = 1, with volume = Born derived from the moment
map (no carving), foundational triple only (no busch_effect_gleason). The
identification of the region with the physical +z outcome is LF4-todo §14.
CSD Stern-Gerlach 50/50 split as a derived Kähler-volume frequency.
For i.i.d. trials drawing microstates from the Fubini–Study typicality measure on
Σ = ℂℙ¹, the empirical frequency of the moment-sublevel outcome region cut by
the balanced ray [balVec] converges almost surely to 1/2 — the canonical
Stern-Gerlach split |⟨+z | +x⟩|² = 1/2.
The limit is ‖⟨e₀, balVec⟩‖² = ‖1/√2‖² = 1/2, with volume = Born derived
from the moment map (no carving), foundational triple only (no
busch_effect_gleason). The identification of the region with the physical +x
outcome is LF4-todo §14.
