RecordLayer/BasinFrequency: frequencies converge to Born on the fibred arena #
Category: 7-SigmaLayer (the record layer).
The corpus's frequency theorems all live on the base: i.i.d. draws from fsMeasure on
ℂℙ^{N−1}, with events bornRegion ψ _ i (born_frequency_convergence_N and its _uncond
variants, 32 call sites across Empirical/ and LF6/). The canonical A7 reading is fibred
(globalBasin, author decision 2026-08-02), and on that side there was no frequency theorem at all —
only the single-draw weight globalBasin_born.
That absence is what made the base-to-fibre migration look mechanical when it is not: the weights do
agree (globalBasin_born), but a frequency statement is an almost-sure limit over draws from a
different measure on a different space, so no amount of rewriting turns one into the other. This
module supplies the missing theorem, and with it the migration becomes an application rather than a
re-derivation.
What is proved #
★★ globalBasin_born_frequency — for i.i.d. draws from epistemicMeasure [ψ] on the fibred arena
KSigma N, the empirical frequencies of the global basins converge almost surely to the Born
weights ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖².
★ globalBasin_born_frequency_context — the same for an arbitrary ContextField, converging to its
own rates. globalBasin_prob is generic in the field, so the frequency statement is too; the Born
case is the momentContext instance.
⚠️ It needs no positivity hypothesis, and that is not an accident #
The base-side born_frequency_convergence_N carries hpos : ∀ j, 0 < ‖⟨eⱼ, ψ⟩‖² — a genericity
condition that had to be removed later by a separate engine (BornRegionUncond.lean). The fibred
statement never needs it: globalBasin_born holds unconditionally, and turning it into a real
number needs only 0 ≤ ‖·‖². Vanishing amplitudes give null basins whose frequencies converge to
0, which is their Born weight. So the fibred route is unconditional by construction rather
than by repair.
The migration bridge #
★ globalBasin_toReal_eq_bornRegion_toReal — the two routes give the same number, unconditionally.
This is the second half of the CR-4 toolkit: the frequency theorem above handles the a.s.-limit
statements, this handles the weight statements, and together they turn the base-to-fibre migration
into rewriting rather than re-deriving.
⚠️ Note which side needs what. The base-side value is bornRegion_fs_measure_uncond, itself the
repaired form of bornRegion_fs_measure, which carries a genericity hypothesis hpos. The fibred
side is globalBasin_born and needs nothing. So the bridge is stated unconditionally, and migrating
a statement across it can only drop hypotheses, never add them.

★ Frequencies converge to the context's rates, on the fibred arena. For i.i.d. draws from
epistemicMeasure p on KSigma N, the empirical frequency of the basin of outcome i converges
almost surely to that context field's rate at p.
Generic in the ContextField, exactly as globalBasin_prob is.
★★ Born frequencies on the fibred arena. For i.i.d. draws from epistemicMeasure [ψ], the
empirical frequencies of the global basins converge almost surely to the Born weights
‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖².
⚠️ No positivity hypothesis. The base-side twin born_frequency_convergence_N carries one and
needed a separate engine to shed it; here vanishing amplitudes give null basins whose frequencies
converge to 0, which is their Born weight. Unconditional by construction.
The POVM engine, on the fibred arena #
★★ POVM frequencies on the fibred arena. The Naimark-dilated twin of
LF4.povm_born_frequency_volume_uncond: for i.i.d. draws from epistemicMeasure [ψ'], the summed
block frequencies converge to the POVM weight P.weight ψ i.
This is the engine the six POVM volume entries (trine, USD, SIC, SIC3, MUB3, qutrit-POVM) delegate
to, so migrating it carries all of them. Body is the base-side proof with one substitution: the
fibred frequency theorem in place of born_frequency_convergence_N_uncond. Everything after —
summing the block and identifying it with the POVM weight — is unchanged, because that part is
about the dilated vector, not about which measure the trials are drawn from.
The migration bridge #
★ The two routes give the same number. The fibred basin measure and the base-only Born-region
measure agree, unconditionally — both are ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖².
This is what makes the base-to-fibre migration a rewrite. ⚠️ The base side arrives via
bornRegion_fs_measure_uncond, the repaired form of bornRegion_fs_measure (which carries a
genericity hypothesis hpos); the fibred side needs nothing. So crossing this bridge can only drop
hypotheses.
