Ambient ontic data for LF1.
SigmaSpace is an abstract measurable space standing in for the ontic phase space. It is
not required to be ℝ^{2n} or a symplectic manifold; the physical grounding
(Liouville measure from a symplectic form, flow from Hamilton's equations) is encoded
as hypotheses rather than derived from first principles. LF2 and later papers are
expected to instantiate SigmaSpace with a concrete mechanical phase space.
Physical inputs vs. proof-used assumptions #
Not every field is used directly inside LF1 proofs. The fields split into two roles.
Used directly in LF1 proofs:
μL: appears in every measure-theoretic computation.Φ: its measurability (measurable_Φ, derived fromhΦ_pres) is used to pull back outcome regions.Ω0,hΩ0_meas,hΩ0_nonzero: define and normalise the conditional preparation measure.
Declared as structural ontic input; not exercised inside any current proof (LF1, LF2, or LF3):
hΦ_pres: Liouville's theorem (Φ preserves μL). Carried because it is the correct physical model: the class ofOnticSetups CSD cares about is µ_L-preserving flows, not arbitrary measurable maps. Inside LF1, onlyhΦ_pres.measurableis extracted viameasurable_Φ; the full measure-preservation content is never invoked.
Readers comparing with the manuscript should note that Liouville preservation
does not appear as a hypothesis in any LF1, LF2, or LF3 proof step. It is
declared structural CSD input so that every OnticSetup is a physically
admissible model, and so that measurable_Φ can be derived uniformly from it
rather than postulated separately.
Honest disclosure. The LF1 proof is therefore strictly more general than the
physical reading suggests: it works for any measurable Φ, not only µ_L-preserving
ones. The preservation content becomes load-bearing only when a future LF4
instantiation derives µ_L from a symplectic / Kähler volume form on a concrete
Σ, at which point hΦ_pres ceases to be a stipulation and becomes a theorem.
Until then hΦ_pres is structural payload that buys nothing the current proofs
use, and the corpus carries it for physical admissibility rather than for
mathematical content. This connects to D1 (the preparation-measure origin
problem in Paper A's framing): µ_L is asserted, the flow is asserted to
preserve it, and neither is derived in v1.00.
- μL : MeasureTheory.FiniteMeasure SigmaSpace
The Liouville measure on the ontic phase space. Assumed finite; in concrete settings this is the restriction of Lebesgue measure (or the symplectic volume form) to a bounded region of phase space.
- Φ : SigmaSpace → SigmaSpace
The deterministic ontic flow. In concrete settings this is the time-
tmap of Hamilton's equations. - hΦ_pres : MeasureTheory.MeasurePreserving self.Φ ↑self.μL ↑self.μL
Liouville's theorem: the flow
Φpreserves the Liouville measureμL. Assumed as a hypothesis; derivable from a symplectic / Kähler structure in a concrete LF4 instantiation. Within LF1, LF2, and LF3 only measurability ofΦ(extracted viameasurable_Φ) is consumed in proofs; the full measure-preservation content is currently structural payload, carried for physical admissibility of the ontic model. It becomes load-bearing only when LF4 derivesμLfrom a concrete volume form. - Ω0 : Set SigmaSpace
The preparation region: the measurable subset of phase space consistent with the experimental preparation procedure.
- hΩ0_meas : MeasurableSet self.Ω0
The preparation region is measurable.
The preparation region has nonzero Liouville measure, so normalisation is well-defined.
Instances For
Measurability of the deterministic flow.
This is the only property of Φ consumed by LF1, LF2, and LF3 proofs. It
is derived from hΦ_pres (Liouville preservation implies measurability) so
that OnticSetup need not carry measurability as a separate field. The full
content of hΦ_pres, that Φ actually preserves μL, is not invoked
anywhere in the current corpus. See the OnticSetup docstring for the honest
disclosure on this.
