SigmaLayer/PostMeasurement: the post-outcome isolation preparation #
Category: 7-SigmaLayer (the projective-sector layer (Paper C)).
SL-T5 follow-on. A de-isolating measurement establishes a RecordedFact and appends it to the record
history (appendEstablishedFact, compatibleSet_appendEstablishedFact:
compatibleSet (history ++ [r]) = compatibleSet history ∩ event r). The external review (2026-07-14)
flagged that the corpus did not yet PROVE the extended history has nonzero compatible measure, nor
construct the resulting post-measurement HistoryPreparation. This module does both.
HistoryPreparation.appendFact— given that the established outcome is POSSIBLE (μL(compatibleSet ∩ event r) ≠ 0), the extended history is a validHistoryPreparation: its compatible regioncompatibleSet ∩ event rhas nonzero Liouville measure, so its conditional law is well defined.HistoryPreparation.appendFactOfPos— the same, from outcome-possibility phrased as positive conditional probabilityconditionalMeasure(event r) ≠ 0: the post-outcome preparation exists exactly when the established outcome had positive probability in the current isolated law.HistoryPreparation.appendFact_conditionalMeasure_apply— the post-measurement epistemic law isμLconditioned oncompatibleSet ∩ event r: the Bayesian update of the isolated law on the new record.
This closes the measurement/record loop on the unified model: measure, establish a record, and the state
updates to a genuine (nonzero-measure) post-outcome preparation whose conditional law is the Bayesian
update. Its bayesianConditional form is the ontic half of the conditional→Lüders correspondence
(SigmaLayer/ConditioningLink.lean).

The post-measurement isolation preparation. After a de-isolation establishes the record r,
provided the outcome is possible (μL(compatibleSet ∩ event r) ≠ 0), the extended history
appendEstablishedFact history r is a valid HistoryPreparation. Its compatible region is
compatibleSet ∩ event r (compatibleSet_appendEstablishedFact), which has nonzero Liouville measure —
so the post-outcome conditional law is well defined.

- HP.appendFact r hpos = { history := CSD.SigmaLayer.appendEstablishedFact HP.history r, nonzero_compatible := ⋯ }
Instances For
The post-measurement compatible region is the prior region intersected with the record event.
The post-measurement conditional law. After establishing r, the epistemic state is μL
conditioned on compatibleSet ∩ event r:
muH'(A) = μL(A ∩ (compatibleSet ∩ event r)) / μL(compatibleSet ∩ event r) — the Bayesian update of the
isolated law on the newly established record.
The post-outcome preparation exists exactly when the outcome was possible. Build the
post-measurement preparation from outcome-possibility phrased as positive conditional probability
conditionalMeasure(event r) ≠ 0: an outcome with positive probability in the current isolated law can be
conditioned on, yielding a genuine (nonzero-measure) post-outcome preparation.
