LF5: de-isolation realises the Naimark dilation (LF5-C) #
Category: 3-Local (LF5 measurement-dynamics layer).
This is LF5-C of specs/lf5-plan.md: the dilation isometry of the canonical
projective (computational-basis) measurement, dynamically realised by the von
Neumann coupling. The static, unmotivated Naimark embedding V of the LF4 POVM
tranche is here exhibited as
V = U_vN ∘ (· ⊗ a₀) (vnDilationV = vnUnitary * embedGround)
— embed the system in the apparatus ground state a₀ = e₀, then evolve by the
LF5-A von Neumann coupling unitary. The post-flow vector is the correlated state
U_vN (ψ ⊗ a₀) = ∑ⱼ ψⱼ · (eⱼ ⊗ aⱼ) (vnDilationV_mulVec), the pointer-outcome
regions are the context-fixed apparatus blocks blockProj N i (the apparatus
basis, not carved to Born), and the headline vnNaimark inhabits
NaimarkDilation (basisPOVM N):
vnDilationV_isom—Vᴴ V = 1(the de-isolation embedding is isometric);vnDilationV_pullback—Vᴴ (blockProj N i) V = |eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ|(the crux: the context-fixed pointer block compresses to the projective effect);measurementFlow_realises_dilation— at the projective level, the LF5-B flowΦ_vNcarries the embedded ray[ψ ⊗ a₀]exactly to the dilated ray[Vψ], so the dilation is a theorem of the dynamics, not a gloss.
Honest scope #
Single-system projective tier (basisPOVM, the rank-1 computational-basis
measurement). The Born = FS-volume identity is derived one layer down (the
moment-map / Duistermaat–Heckman cluster, fs_born_volume_ratio_N, Gleason-free)
and downstream (LF5-D) imported, not re-proved and not postulated; this module
supplies the dynamical origin of the dilation isometry that engine consumes. What
is posited is not Born but the CSD sector (SO-1) — the Fubini–Study measure as the dilated
sector's typicality law (a theorem that Born = volume; a posit that FS is the
typicality measure, reducing to D1).
Entangled / non-local de-isolation is deferred (specs/lf5-plan.md §0).
LF5-D obstruction (recorded at planning; RESOLVED) #
The post-flow state Vψ has zero amplitude on every off-diagonal cell
(j, k) with k ≠ j (vnDilationV_mulVec). Hence the genericity hypothesis
hpos of povm_born_eq_dilated_volume / povm_born_frequency_volume (all
N·N dilated amplitudes nonzero) is not satisfiable at
ψ' = piLpCongrLeft e (Vψ) for N ≥ 2 (at N = 1 there is no off-diagonal
cell). LF5-D therefore could not be a blind instantiation of
the P.3b/P.4 theorems: it needed either a zero-amplitude-tolerant volume reading
on the dilated space or a system-side reduction. vnDilation_block_weight
(block-i weight of the post-flow state = the Born weight ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖²) is the
Gleason-free analytic content already available on this side of that gap.
Resolution (historical record kept above): the FS-volume engine was upgraded
hpos-free (LF4/BornRegionUncond.lean, povm_born_eq_dilated_volume_uncond /
povm_born_frequency_volume_uncond, per-cell dichotomy); LF5-D
(FlowBornFrequency.lean) consumes the unconditional forms, and the corpus-wide
call-site migration onto them landed 2026-06-11.

The computational-basis projective POVM #
Rank-1 outer product of a basis vector is a matrix unit:
|eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ| = single i i 1. Entries: (eᵢ)_a · star (eᵢ)_b = δ_{a i} δ_{b i}.
The computational-basis projective POVM Eᵢ = |eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ|: the canonical
rank-1 projective measurement the von Neumann coupling reads out. Completeness
is ∑ᵢ |eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ| = ∑ᵢ single i i 1 = 1.
Equations
- CSD.LF5.basisPOVM N = { E := fun (i : Fin N) => CSD.LF2.rankOneEffect (EuclideanSpace.single i 1) ⋯, complete := ⋯ }
Instances For
The effect matrix of the basis POVM is the matrix unit single i i 1.
Isometry helper #
A matrix with Aᴴ A = 1 induces a norm-preserving map on EuclideanSpace:
‖Aψ‖² = re⟨Aψ, Aψ⟩ = re⟨ψ, Aᴴ A ψ⟩ = ‖ψ‖² via the matrix↔operator adjoint
bridge. Generic helper (Mathlib upstream candidate).
The ground-state embedding ψ ↦ ψ ⊗ a₀ #
The ground-state embedding matrix of ψ ↦ ψ ⊗ a₀ (apparatus ground
a₀ = e₀): (embedGround N)_{(j,k), m} = δ_{(j,k), (m,0)}.
Equations
Instances For
The ground embedding is an isometry: embedᴴ embed = 1 (the columns
e_{(m,0)} are orthonormal).
Operator-level isometry of the ground embedding: ‖ψ ⊗ a₀‖ = ‖ψ‖.
The dynamically-realised dilation isometry V = U_vN ∘ (· ⊗ a₀) #
The dynamically-realised Naimark dilation isometry
V = U_vN ∘ (· ⊗ a₀): embed the system in the apparatus ground state, then
evolve by the LF5-A von Neumann coupling. This replaces the unmotivated static
Naimark embedding of the LF4 POVM tranche with the de-isolation dynamics.
Equations
Instances For
The dynamical reading of V, explicit: V ψ = U_vN (ψ ⊗ a₀) at the
mulVec level.
The post-flow vector in coordinates:
U_vN (ψ ⊗ a₀) = ∑ⱼ ψⱼ · (eⱼ ⊗ aⱼ), i.e. (Vψ)_{(j,k)} = δ_{k j} · ψⱼ. The
system and the apparatus pointer are perfectly correlated; every off-diagonal
cell (j, k), k ≠ j, carries zero amplitude (the LF5-D hpos obstruction
recorded in the module docstring).
V is an isometry: Vᴴ V = embedᴴ (U_vNᴴ U_vN) embed = embedᴴ embed = 1
(unitarity of the coupling + isometry of the ground embedding).
Operator-level isometry: ‖Vψ‖ = ‖ψ‖ (feeds LF5-D's hnorm).
The pointer-i block projector acting on V:
(Πᵢ V)_{(n,j), m} = δ_{j i} δ_{n m} δ_{m i} — only the (i, i) cell of
column i survives.
The Naimark pullback, dynamically realised (the LF5-C crux): the
context-fixed pointer block compresses through the de-isolation isometry to the
projective effect, Vᴴ (blockProj N i) V = |eᵢ⟩⟨eᵢ|.
The LF5-C headline: the canonical projective measurement's Naimark
dilation, dynamically realised by the von Neumann coupling. The dilation
isometry is V = U_vN ∘ (· ⊗ a₀) — measurement-flow dynamics, not a static
embedding — and the pointer regions are the context-fixed apparatus blocks.
Equations
- CSD.LF5.vnNaimark N = { V := CSD.LF5.vnDilationV N, isom := ⋯, pullback := ⋯ }
Instances For
Block-i weight of the post-flow state = the Born weight. The dilated
projective Born weight of Vψ = U_vN (ψ ⊗ a₀) against the context-fixed
pointer block Πᵢ is ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖². Composes the Naimark Born transfer with the
rank-1 basis-POVM weight; Gleason-free.
The LF5-B flow realises the dilation at the projective level #
Operator form of the factorisation V = U_vN ∘ (· ⊗ a₀).
Reindex naturality: transporting a matrix along e and a vector along
the piLpCongrLeft e isometry commutes with toEuclideanLin. Reduces to
Matrix.submatrix_mulVec_equiv at the function level.
The reindexed post-flow vector is the reindexed coupling applied to the
reindexed embedded vector: the vector-level identity behind
measurementFlow_realises_dilation.
The embedded vector of a nonzero preparation is nonzero.
The post-flow vector of a nonzero preparation is nonzero.
The flow ↔ dilation tie: at the projective level, the LF5-B measurement
flow Φ_vN carries the embedded ray [ψ ⊗ a₀] exactly to the dilated ray
[Vψ]. The Naimark dilation consumed by the LF4 POVM volume engine is therefore
dynamically realised by the de-isolation flow — a theorem tying the flow to
the dilation, not a gloss. (The mathematical crux of the tranche is
vnDilationV_pullback; this theorem's content is the reindex naturality plus
the definitional factorisation V = U_vN · embed.)
