Finite-horizon equilibration of the fibre cells #
Category: 7-SigmaLayer.
BACKLOG #118(ii) — the one clause of R-019's convergence half that row calls "plausibly a brick".
#18 proved the monotone decrease and showed it is not the content of relaxation: it holds for the
translation, which provably cannot decorrelate. #118 split what is left into three, and only (ii) was
priced as a brick — the finite-horizon statement, conditional on
HasCorrelationDecayUpTo rather than on asymptotic mixing. This is that statement, on the fibre.
fibreCellInd— a cell's indicator as a bounded observable onΣ, with ★integral_fibreCellIndidentifying its space average as the Haar cell law's mass at that cell, which is what makes the conclusion a statement about the coarse-grained law;- ★★★
integral_birkhoffAverage_fibreCellInd_sub_sq_le— at horizonT, the mean-square deviation of a cell's time-averaged occupation from its Haar value is at most(2/T)·Σ_{u<T} ε u; - ★★★
integral_sum_birkhoffAverage_fibreCellInd_sub_sq_le— summed over all(m+1)²cells, which is the row's "rate in terms of the cell countm": the bound carries a factor(m+1)²; - ★★★
tendsto_integral_birkhoffAverage_fibreCellInd_sub_sq— with a summable envelope the deviation tends to0, which is the convergence #118 asks for, in the finite-horizon reading.
What this is and is not #
⚠️ It is time-averaged, not instantaneous — and that is the real finding. The Cesàro estimate
controls the Birkhoff average over [0, T), so what equilibrates here is a cell's time-averaged
occupation. R-019 asks for the law at step n to approach Haar, which is a mixing statement, not
an ergodic one. So the finite-horizon escape buys an ergodic conclusion and leaves the mixing one
untouched: it is genuinely weaker than R-019, exactly as #118 recorded, and no amount of
sharpening the envelope closes that gap.
⚠️ The hypothesis is assumed, not derived. Whether the fibre's cell indicators satisfy
HasCorrelationDecayUpTo is #118(i), a genuine mathematical question: the corpus has decay for the
single observable catObs (catStroke_hasCorrelationDecay, finitely supported), and extending it to
indicators is a statement about the cat map's spectral gap on indicator functions, which nothing here
supplies. Everything below travels with its hypothesis.
⚠️ The cell count costs (m+1)². The summed bound degrades quadratically in the fineness of the
coarse-graining, so a finite-horizon statement at fixed horizon is not uniform in m. R-019's
"rate set by the cell size" would need the envelope itself to improve with m, and that is not
available.
⚠️ Not the klDiv form. R-019's second clause is about relative entropy. Since the Haar cell
law is uniform on these cells, klDiv ≤ χ² would convert the bound above at the cost of one more
factor (m+1)² — but it needs the time-averaged occupations packaged as a measure, measurably in
the base point, which is a restatement rather than new mathematics and is #130.
⚠️ Not a Track B prediction. Nothing here exhibits a fibre out of equilibrium returning to it, and the translation comparison of #18 still applies: this theorem's hypothesis is what distinguishes the maps, not its conclusion.

Instances For
★ The space average is the Haar cell law's mass at the cell — which is what makes the estimates below statements about the coarse-grained law rather than about an arbitrary observable.
The finite-horizon estimate on the fibre #
The stroke is measurable, which the Cesàro estimate needs.
The space average is stationary along the stroke, because the stroke preserves kMuL.
★★★ Finite-horizon equilibration of one cell. At horizon T, the mean-square deviation of
the cell's time-averaged occupation from its Haar value is at most (2/T)·Σ_{u<T} ε u.
The hypothesis is finite-horizon decay for that cell's indicator, which is #118(i) and is assumed here.
★★★ The rate in the cell count. Summed over all (m+1)² cells under a common envelope the
bound carries a factor (m+1)²: a finite-horizon statement at fixed horizon is not uniform in
the fineness of the coarse-graining.
The convergence, under a summable envelope #
★★★ The convergence #118 asks for, in the finite-horizon reading. With asymptotic decay and
a summable envelope the time-averaged occupation of a cell converges in L² to its Haar value.
This is the honest target #118(ii) named: equilibration conditional on decay, time-averaged, with the hypothesis doing the work.
