Empirical and Reflexive Completeness Separate
Abstract
A complete quantum-state readout does not make internal self-evaluation exhaustive.
Theorem 1.1 (Empirical completeness coexists with reflexive incompleteness).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Observer/Existence/EmpiricalReflexiveSeparation.empirical_complete_reflexive_incomplete (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
There is a three-context rank-one qubit observer whose projector-trace readout is injective on the canonical carrier of positive, trace-one qubit density states. This is the public current-state reconstruction clause.
For every Boolean evaluation table indexed twice by that same density-state carrier, the function obtained by negating the table on its diagonal is outside the table’s range. This is exactly the public internal self-evaluation non-capture clause.
The concrete witness uses the three standard mutually unbiased qubit bases. The proof then applies the repository’s complete-context tomography and fixed-point-free Lawvere escape theorems.
