LF4 Tranche M slice 3: the Born weights as barycentric volume ratios #
Slice 1 (MomentMap.lean) showed the Born weight is the torus moment-map
coordinate Φ([ψ])ᵢ = ‖⟨eᵢ,ψ⟩‖² — a point coordinate in the moment polytope
Δ_{N-1}. This slice turns that coordinate into a genuine volume ratio, via
the barycentric subdivision of the polytope at the preparation point.
For a point b ∈ Δ_{N-1} (the Born vector), the i-th sub-simplex of the
subdivision at b is the image of the standard simplex under the
vertex-replacement map replaceMap b i — the linear map that replaces the
i-th standard basis vector with b. Its determinant is exactly the i-th
barycentric coordinate bᵢ (Cramer), so by addHaar_image_linearMap it scales
Lebesgue volume by bᵢ:
volume (replaceMap b i '' s) = ofReal (bᵢ) · volume s, and ∑ᵢ … = volume s.
Composing with slice 1 (born_eq_volume_ratio): the Born weight ‖⟨eᵢ,ψ⟩‖² is
the volume ratio of the i-th subdivision region. The regions are defined by an
affine geometric rule (subdivide at b); the equality to the Born weight is the
barycentric-coordinate theorem, not a region carved to a target volume
(contrast SingletKahler.kMuPsi_kRegion) and not an operational-consistency
postulate (busch_effect_gleason). This is the literal realisation of Sigma0
§5.7's slogan "Born-form probabilities are operational representations of the
projected volume structure."
Honest scope (see specs/carve-out-plan.md Tranche M) #
bis the moment coordinate (slice 1), so this derives "Born = volume ratio" given the Fubini–Study Kähler structure as the ontic primitive. It does not manufacture Born from a metric-free structure.- The volume here is Lebesgue volume on the moment-polytope coordinates (the
ratio is the same for the parallelepiped and the simplex). Lifting it to the
μ_FS-volume on the ontic
Σ = ℂℙ^{N-1}itself is the Duistermaat–Heckman pushforwardΦ∗μ_FS = uniform_Δ(slice 2), which needs symplectic-volume machinery Mathlib lacks.
Category: conceptually 1-Mathlib (affine/measure geometry); kept in CSD.LF4
as it drives the carve-out programme. Extraction candidate (LF4-todo §10).
The vertex-replacement map: the linear map on Fin N → ℝ whose matrix is
the identity with column i replaced by b. Geometrically it sends the standard
simplex to the i-th sub-simplex of the barycentric subdivision at b.

Instances For
The determinant of the vertex-replacement map is the i-th barycentric
coordinate bᵢ (Cramer's rule on the identity).
The vertex-replacement map scales Lebesgue volume by bᵢ (bᵢ ≥ 0).
Hence volume (replaceMap b i '' s) / volume s = bᵢ: the i-th subdivision
region is a bᵢ-fraction of the reference region.
Headline (Tranche M slice 3): the Born weight is a barycentric volume
ratio. For a unit preparation ψ, the i-th subdivision region of the moment
polytope at Φ([ψ]) carries volume fraction ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖² of any reference region
— the Born weight realised as a genuine Lebesgue-volume ratio of a
geometrically-defined region (no carving, no operational-consistency postulate).
