LF4/QubitDipole: the dipole correlation for the context-fixed qubit (A7) #
Category: 2-LF4 (Kähler / moment-map layer — qubit context-fixed measurement).
The reflection R_n = 2|n⟩⟨n| − I as a genuine unitary matrix (Hermitian involution), and the
resulting dipole correlation
D = ∫ sign(2·blochProj n − 1)·(2·blochProj ψ − 1) dμ_FS = (2c − 1)/2, c = |⟨n|ψ⟩|².
Mechanism: R_n is a Hermitian unitary (R_n² = I, outerProduct_mul_self_of_unit_norm), so its
ℂℙ¹-action preserves μ_FS (fubiniStudyMeasure_smul_invariant) and fixes the n-coordinate.
Reflecting the density and averaging, reflect_sq_add (the ℂ² reflection identity) linearises
2(s + s′) − 2 = 2(2c − 1)(2u − 1), and the general-axis hat-box hatBox_axis (∫|2u − 1| = ½)
closes it. Foundational-triple, no sorry.

Instances For
R_n is Hermitian: (2P − I)ᴴ = 2P − I since P = |n⟩⟨n| is Hermitian and star 2 = 2.
R_n lies in the unitary group (Hermitian involution ⇒ star R_n · R_n = R_n² = I).

The outer product |n⟩⟨n| acts as w ↦ ⟨n,w⟩ • n. Proved coordinatewise.
R_n acts as the reflection map: toEuclideanLin R_n w = (2⟨n,w⟩)•n − w, i.e.
R_n = 2|n⟩⟨n| − I. Follows from linearity of toEuclideanLin and toEuclideanLin_outerProduct.
The Bloch projection along axis a after reflecting by R_n:
blochProj a (R_n•p) = |⟨a, (2⟨n,rep⟩)•n − rep⟩|² / ‖rep‖².
The reflection sum identity (projective form). For unit n, ψ, the sum of the Born weight of
ψ and its R_n-reflection is a linear function of the n-coordinate:
blochProj ψ p + blochProj ψ (R_n•p) = 2c·u + 2(1−c)(1−u), c = |⟨n,ψ⟩|², u = blochProj n p.
The projective lift of reflect_sq_add, via a unit representative of p.

∫ rsign(2·blochProj n − 1)·(2·blochProj ψ − 1) dμ_FS = (2c − 1)/2, c = |⟨n,ψ⟩|². The R_n
reflection (μ_FS-preserving, fixes the n-coordinate) plus reflect_sq_add linearises the paired
density, and the general-axis hat-box (hatBox_axis) closes it.
