LF3/SettingLocality: no-signalling derived from a primitive on Σ #
Category: 3-Local (Q10-a / Q10-b).
OperationalNoSignalling.lean's own docstring records the gap this file closes:
"sufficient primitive conditions on setting-dependent measure-preserving dynamics over a
non-factorising ontic Σ that imply remote marginal invariance remain open". This supplies
one, and derives the predicate from it.
The primitive, and why it has this shape #
⚠️ The obstruction lives in the readout, not in the measure. That is the Q10-w verdict
(specs/q10-no-signalling-scoping.md §4): a factorisation of the typicality measure cannot
give remote marginal invariance, because a Fubini argument factorises the integral while the
remote setting's dependence sits in the integrand. So a useful primitive must constrain how
the remote setting enters the outcome map.
RemoteSettingLocalityA says: changing B's setting from b to b' is implemented by a
measure-preserving relabelling of Σ that A's readout cannot see —
reroute b b'is a measure-preserving self-map ofΣ(measurePreserving);- re-reading A in the moved context at the moved point gives what A read in the old context at
the old point (
wingA_invariant).
This is the Σ-level, measure-theoretic analogue of the corpus's existing derivation
CV.composite_no_signalling, whose primitive is disjoint mode support and whose statement is
pointwise on the arena. The scoping doc's candidate (b) — "the setting change acts by a
measure-preserving map supported away from the remote readout" — is exactly this.
★ Why this escapes the no_product_partition no-go #
LF6.no_product_partition_realises_singlet kills any pair of setting-local response
functions: IsProductPartition takes RA RB : DetectorSetting → SigmaSpace → ℝ, so the
product structure is the map's arity — there is no slot for the remote setting. That is what
sinks the pointwise primitive F_A(a,b,x) = F_A(a,b',x), and it is why Q10's route (a) died.
⚠️ RemoteSettingLocalityA does NOT impose that. S.wingA ⟨a, b⟩ still genuinely depends on
b; the hypothesis only says that dependence is carried by a measure-preserving relabelling. So
the outcome maps are not forced into product-partition form, the no-go does not apply, and
translationLocality below exhibits a witness whose readout really does move with the remote
setting while the marginal does not.
Honest scope #
- Measurement independence is inherited, not removed. The conclusion is stated against one
fixed
μacross all four contexts, exactly asOperationalNoSignallingis; that fixture is the Bell premise, and this file does not discharge it. It moves the burden from "assume the marginals agree" to "assume the setting acts by a measure-preserving relabelling" — a strictly more primitive, and falsifiable, hypothesis, but a hypothesis. - This is a sufficient condition, not a characterisation. No claim that CSD's
Σsatisfies it; exhibiting a sector that does is the separate, open half of the row. - The A-wing is done in full and the B-wing is its mirror; both are supplied.

The primitive #
Setting locality for the A-wing. A change of B's setting is implemented by a
measure-preserving relabelling of Σ under which A's reading is unchanged.
Note the arity: wingA keeps its full MeasurementContext, so this does not collapse the
outcome maps to a product partition.
- reroute : DetectorSetting → DetectorSetting → SigmaSpace → SigmaSpace
The relabelling implementing the remote setting change
b ↦ b'. - measurePreserving (b b' : DetectorSetting) : MeasureTheory.MeasurePreserving (self.reroute b b') μ μ
It preserves the typicality measure.
- wingA_invariant (a b b' : DetectorSetting) (l : SigmaSpace) : S.wingA { a := a, b := b' } (self.reroute b b' l) = S.wingA { a := a, b := b } l
A's reading in the moved context, at the moved point, is A's reading in the old context at the old point.
Instances For
Setting locality for the B-wing, the mirror statement.
- reroute : DetectorSetting → DetectorSetting → SigmaSpace → SigmaSpace
The relabelling implementing the remote setting change
a ↦ a'. - measurePreserving (a a' : DetectorSetting) : MeasureTheory.MeasurePreserving (self.reroute a a') μ μ
It preserves the typicality measure.
- wingB_invariant (a a' b : DetectorSetting) (l : SigmaSpace) : S.wingB { a := a', b := b } (self.reroute a a' l) = S.wingB { a := a, b := b } l
B's reading is unchanged along it.
Instances For
★ The derivation #
★ A-wing remote marginal invariance, derived. The proof is one line of measure theory:
the moved outcome set is the reroute-preimage of the unmoved one, and reroute preserves μ.
No product structure on Σ, no factorisation of the measure, and no setting-locality of the
response functions is used.
★ B-wing remote marginal invariance, derived — the mirror.
★★ Operational no-signalling, derived from primitives on Σ. Both wings' setting
locality gives the full predicate — the deliverable Q10 was opened for.
★ Non-vacuity: a witness whose readout really does move with the remote setting #
Without this the primitive would be worthless: a hypothesis satisfied only by response-independent
readouts is the pointwise primitive in disguise, and would be killed by
no_product_partition_realises_singlet exactly as route (a) was.
The translation model: Σ an additive group, A reading a setting-dependent offset of
the ontic point. A's readout genuinely depends on B's setting b, through g b.
Equations
Instances For
★ The translation model satisfies the primitive. Changing b ↦ b' is implemented by the
translation l ↦ l + (g b' - g b), which preserves a translation-invariant μ.
Equations
- CSD.LF3.translationLocality μ fA fB g = { reroute := fun (b b' : CSD.LF3.DetectorSetting) (l : G) => l + (-g b + g b'), measurePreserving := ⋯, wingA_invariant := ⋯ }
Instances For
★ The witness is not response-independent. Whenever the two offsets give A a different
reading, wingA genuinely moves with the remote setting — so these outcome maps are not of
product-partition arity, and no_product_partition_realises_singlet does not apply to them.
This is what makes the primitive a real weakening rather than a restatement.
