Joint benefit from four interventional marginals

Abstract

Four single-world marginals leave two internal response couplings unknown. The joint-benefit query ranges over the product of the two local sharp intervals under complete-mechanism independence.

Verification status is recorded in the unified causal partial-identification research ledger. The authored proof source is not itself evidence that the protected Lean build or maximal-catalog seal has passed.

Theorem 1.1 (Rational products fill the endpoint product interval).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.nonnegative_product_interval_iff

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.nonnegative_product_interval_iff (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A two-edge path in a nonnegative parameter rectangle realizes every rational target using rational factors. It does not mix two product laws.

Theorem 1.2 (Recover the local benefit interval).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.outcomeLaw_benefit_bounds

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.outcomeLaw_benefit_bounds (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The local interval follows from the existing assignment-outcome sharpness theorem, avoiding a second four-cell necessity proof.

Theorem 1.3 (Exact range with all four intervention marginals fixed).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.four_marginal_joint_benefit_sharp_iff

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.four_marginal_joint_benefit_sharp_iff (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The theorem constructs complete response laws for every rational target between the products of the local lower and upper benefit endpoints.

Theorem 1.4 (Balanced intervention marginals leave an interval).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.balanced_four_marginal_sharp_interval

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.balanced_four_marginal_sharp_interval (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

When all four success marginals equal one half, every target from zero to one quarter is attained by independent complete mechanisms.

Theorem 1.5 (A full-model observation-kernel witness).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.joint_benefit_strictly_refines_four_marginal_kernel

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.joint_benefit_strictly_refines_four_marginal_kernel (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Two models on the existing full rational model carrier have identical four-marginal readouts and different joint-benefit values. No finite test arena or escape-rate score is introduced.

Theorem 1.6 (No reconstruction from the four marginal readout).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.no_joint_benefit_reconstruction_from_four_marginals

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/CausalMoments/MarkovianJointBenefitMarginalSharpBounds.no_joint_benefit_reconstruction_from_four_marginals (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The witness rules out every function that would reconstruct joint benefit from four intervention marginals on all models in this family.
