LF4: pure-state ontic Born rule as a frequency limit #
Category: 3-Local.
Composes the law-agnostic frequency theorem freq_tendsto_of_iid (LF1) with the
operational Born derivation pure_state_born_weights_of_certainty (LF2, via the
Busch axiom) to obtain the pure-state ontic Born rule: empirical frequencies of
a measurement outcome converge almost surely to |⟨ψ,φ⟩|².
Posits and honest scope #
The preparation law μψ is the posited fibre measure over the pure state [ψ]
(Paper A / Σ0, revised: pure-state preparation is the conditional measure on the
fibre, posited ontic structure, not an ambient μL-conditional). The theorem is
conditional on:
OP+h_certain— operational consistency, the package being certain atψ(Paper B Def 5.1; Born form then follows by the Busch/Gleason axiom);h_bridge— the eq-12 identification of the ontic outcome weight(μψ O).toRealwith the operational weightOP.p (rankOneEffect φ).
These are exactly Paper B's posits. The Born form |⟨ψ,φ⟩|² is derived
(pure_state_born_weights_of_certainty), not assumed.
Non-vacuity. Because μψ is a posited probability measure (the trial law),
not a μL-conditional on a μL-null fibre, the hypotheses are jointly
satisfiable. This repairs the inhabitability defect of the LF3
PureSingletPreparation bundle, whose push_dirac-via-μL-conditional form is
incompatible with the continuous measure bridge π∗μL = c·μFS (a single quantum
state's fibre is μL-null). See LF4-todo §8.
Pure-state ontic Born rule (conditional, non-vacuous). For i.i.d. trials
with preparation law μψ, an outcome region O whose ontic weight equals the
operational Born weight (h_bridge), and an operational package OP certain at the
pure state ψ, the empirical frequencies converge almost surely to |⟨ψ,φ⟩|².
