W5-S1: the projective-to-vector phase lift #
Category: 3-Programme (CSD dynamics spine, W5 residual S1).
Glossary: https://glossary.constraintsurfacedynamics.com/schrodinger-from-records/
Plain-language, CSD-role and formal statements of Schrodinger dynamics from record statistics, with
this module as the Lean anchor. Kept symmetric by scripts/check-glossary.sh.
This module discharges the S1 residual of W5 (ProjectedDynamics.lean): it
makes the U(1) phase cocycle of the projected-flow unitary family a real
object, proves it obeys the 2-cocycle law, and shows that a trivialising
phase function (the coboundary datum) upgrades the ray-level projective
representation to a GENUINE vector-level one-parameter unitary group realising
the projected flow. Wired to the W5-S2 finite-dimensional Stone theorem
(StoneC1.lean), this yields the full Schrödinger form: the projected flow is
p ↦ exp(-itH) • p for a Hermitian generator H.
What is proved #
projectedFlow_phase_cocycle: the cocycle EXISTS. Given a unitary family realising a one-parameter projected flow, phase rigidity (Projectivization.exists_unit_smul_of_smul_eq_smul, the kernel ofU(N) → PU(N)is the circle) extractsc : ℝ → ℝ → ℂwith‖c s t‖ = 1andU (s+t) = c s t • (U s * U t)at the matrix level. This names the obstruction: the family is a genuine group iffccan be killed.phase_cocycle_identity: any suchcobeys the 2-cocycle lawc s (t+u) * c t u = c (s+t) u * c s t(associativity,N ≠ 0).projectedFlow_phase_lift(the S1 theorem): a phase functionb : ℝ → ℂ,‖b t‖ = 1, trivialising the cocycle (c s t * b (s+t) = b s * b t, i.e.c = δbis a coboundary) rescales the family tophaseLiftFamily U b hb : ℝ → unitaryGroupwhich (i) realises the SAME projected flow (phases act trivially on rays), (ii) satisfies the vector-level group lawV (s+t) = V s * V ton the nose, and (iii) hasV 0 = 1. The projective phase freedom is killed.projectedFlow_schrodinger_form(the W5 capstone, S1 × S2): adding the C^1 datum (a skew-HermitianAwithV' t = V t * A), the S2 Stone theorem recovers the generator: there is a HermitianH(namelyi A) withd.projectedFlow t p = schrodingerUnitary hH t • p, i.e. the projected CSD flow ISexp(-itH)-conjugation on rays. This is the Schrödinger form of the W-series chain.
What is HYPOTHESIS (honest posture, load-bearing) #
The coboundary datum b is the S1 physical/cohomological input, staged
exactly as W3 staged its clopen datum: H²(ℝ, U(1)) does not vanish
algebraically (antisymmetric bicharacters survive on ℝ as a ℚ-vector
space), so the bare ray-level group law genuinely does NOT force a vector
lift; killing c requires a regularity/cohomological input (Bargmann: for
CONTINUOUS cocycles H²_cont(ℝ, U(1)) = 0; formalising that is a named
follow-on, not claimed here). Likewise the C^1 datum in the capstone is the
S2 smoothness posit. Both are surfaced as explicit hypotheses on an explicit
family U / cocycle c — NOT extracted by choice inside the theorem — so a
caller who owns concrete data can discharge them.
Non-vacuity #
On trivialKahlerOnticSetup the whole chain fires end-to-end with the
constant family U = 1, trivial cocycle c = 1, trivial phase b = 1, and
zero generator: trivialKahlerOnticSetup_phase_lift (the lift) and
trivialKahlerOnticSetup_schrodinger_form (the full Schrödinger form with
H = 0). Genuine, not vacuous: every hypothesis is discharged concretely.
Provenance #
Foundational-triple only (propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound); no busch,
no sorry, no native_decide, no new axioms. Reuses W5
(ProjectedDynamics), the phase-rigidity Mathlib layer (PhaseRigidity), and
the W5-S2 Stone theorem (StoneC1); nothing is re-proved.
Part 1: the cocycle exists (the obstruction, named) #
The U(1) phase cocycle exists. For a unitary family realising a
one-parameter projected flow, each pair of times yields (by phase rigidity:
the kernel of U(N) → PU(N) is the circle) a unit-modulus scalar c s t
with U (s+t) = c s t • (U s * U t) at the matrix level. The family is a
genuine vector-level group precisely when c can be trivialised; c is the
named obstruction that residual S1 must kill.
Scalars acting on a fixed unitary are injective (N ≠ 0): cancel a
common unitary factor in a scalar identity by multiplying with its star and
evaluating a diagonal entry.
The 2-cocycle law. Any unit-phase family c relating U (s+t) to
U s * U t obeys c s (t+u) * c t u = c (s+t) u * c s t — associativity of
the unitary family forces the cocycle identity. (For N = 0 the scalar is
not pinned by the matrix equation, hence the N ≠ 0 hypothesis.)
Part 2: the phase lift (the S1 theorem) #
The rescaled family t ↦ b t • U t: the candidate vector-level group
obtained by absorbing the phase function b into the unitary family.

Instances For
★ The coboundary hypothesis is NECESSARY, not merely sufficient.
If the rescaled family t ↦ b t • U t is a genuine vector-level group, then b must trivialise
the cocycle: c s t * b (s+t) = b s * b t. So projectedFlow_phase_lift's hcob is not a
convenient sufficient condition that a cleverer proof might drop — it is equivalent to the
conclusion it buys.
The argument is a cancellation: both sides are scalar multiples of the same invertible matrix
U s * U t, and a unitary is nonzero, so the scalars agree.
Recorded as the CL-015 mutation study (2026-08-24). hb is load-bearing for a different and more
basic reason: without ‖b t‖ = 1 the rescaled matrix is not unitary, so phaseLiftFamily cannot be
formed at all and the conclusion cannot even be stated.
The projective-to-vector phase lift (residual S1, discharged on the
coboundary datum). If the phase cocycle c of the unitary family is a
coboundary — trivialised by a unit-phase function b via
c s t * b (s+t) = b s * b t — then the rescaled family
V t = b t • U t is a GENUINE vector-level one-parameter unitary group
(V (s+t) = V s * V t and V 0 = 1 as unitary-group identities, NOT merely
up to phase) realising the same projected flow. The coboundary datum is the
honest S1 residual input: H²(ℝ, U(1)) does not vanish algebraically, so
some such input is genuinely required (see the module docstring).
Part 3: the W5 capstone (S1 × S2 ⇒ the Schrödinger form) #
The W5 capstone: projected CSD flow in Schrödinger form. Combining the
S1 coboundary datum (b trivialises the phase cocycle c) with the S2 C^1
datum (the lifted family solves V' = V * A for a skew-Hermitian generator
A), the finite-dimensional Stone theorem recovers the Hermitian generator:
there is a Hermitian H (namely i A) with
`d.projectedFlow t p = schrodingerUnitary hH t • p`,
i.e. the projected flow IS conjugation by exp(-itH) on rays — the
Schrödinger form of the W-series chain. Both data are explicit physical
inputs (S1 cohomological, S2 smoothness), staged as hypotheses on an explicit
family, exactly as W3 staged its clopen datum.
The Schrödinger form from a continuous projective flow (S2 discharged).
Same conclusion as projectedFlow_schrodinger_form, but the smoothness datum
(A, hA, hderiv) is replaced by plain continuity of the lifted family. The
finite-dimensional continuity-only Stone theorem
(Matrix.StoneC1.stone_continuous, which derives smoothness by integral
averaging) supplies the generator, so no C¹ input is posited.
This is the consumer stone_continuous was built for: before this, the theorem
was proved and unused, and the capstones still took the derivative datum. Only
the S1 coboundary datum (hcob) remains staged here.
★★ The Schrödinger form from continuity alone (S1 and S2 discharged).
The end of the W-series staging. Neither the coboundary datum (S1) nor the smoothness datum (S2) is posited: continuity of the projective flow supplies both.
- S1 dies by
Matrix.ProjectiveLift.exists_continuous_phase_trivialisation— for a one-parameter group in finite dimensions the phase cocycle is automatically a coboundary (Λ²(ℝ) = 0; the proof is determinants + the circle covering lift, and needs no Bargmann theorem). Crucially it returns a continuousb. - S2 then dies by
Matrix.StoneC1.stone_continuous, whose missing hypothesis was exactly that continuity.
What remains conditional on the chain is hfam (that the projected flow IS conjugation by
a unitary family) — the transition-probability-preservation input, not a cohomological or
smoothness posit.
The Σ-level capstone: the ontic flow projects to Schrödinger evolution #
The ray-level projectedFlow_schrodinger_form above is a statement about
d.projectedFlow alone. This next theorem is the one that makes the sector
substrate LOAD-BEARING: it consumes d.projectable (the descent equation
pi (flow t x) = projectedFlow t (pi x)) together with the ontic flow
d.flow and the projection d.pi to conclude that the DETERMINISTIC Σ-flow,
pushed to ray space through π, is exp(-itH)-conjugation. This is the honest
"Schrödinger dynamics from the posited ontic sector" statement — the whole
point of packaging the dynamics as a KahlerOnticSetup.
The Σ-level Schrödinger capstone (PROVED; the substrate-consuming form).
Under the same S1 (coboundary) + S2 (C¹) data as projectedFlow_schrodinger_form,
the projection of the deterministic ontic flow is a one-parameter unitary
(Schrödinger) evolution on rays:
`∀ t x, d.pi (d.flow t x) = exp(-i t H) • d.pi x`,
for a Hermitian generator H. Unlike the ray-level form, this GENUINELY
consumes the sector fields d.projectable, d.flow, d.pi: it is the
statement that the CSD ontic dynamics on Σ, viewed through the operational
projection π, IS finite-dimensional Schrödinger evolution. It is the forward
direction of the dynamics spine landed on the substrate, not merely on the
already-projected map.
Non-vacuity on the trivialKahlerOnticSetup witness #
The phase lift FIRES on the inhabitation witness: the constant family
U = 1 realises the identity flow with trivial cocycle c = 1, trivialised
by the trivial phase b = 1; the lifted family is a genuine vector-level
one-parameter unitary group. Confirms the S1 hypotheses are jointly
satisfiable and the conclusion genuine.
The full Schrödinger form FIRES on the inhabitation witness: with the
constant family, trivial cocycle/phase, and zero generator (A = 0, so
H = i·0 = 0 Hermitian), the capstone concludes the identity flow is
exp(-it·0) = 1 conjugation on rays. Confirms every capstone hypothesis
(S1 coboundary + S2 C^1) is concretely dischargeable.
The Σ-level capstone FIRES on the inhabitation witness: the identity ontic
flow (flow t = id, pi = id, projectable by rfl) projects to the
identity exp(-it·0) = 1 on rays. Confirms the substrate-consuming form's
hypotheses are jointly dischargeable and the descent equation genuinely closes
the loop (d.pi (d.flow t x) = x = 1 • x).
