Empirical and Reflexive Completeness Separate

Abstract

A complete quantum-state readout does not make internal self-evaluation exhaustive.

Theorem 1.1 (The embedded square root of two).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Observer/Existence/EmpiricalReflexiveSeparation.complex_sqrt_two_sq (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The real square root of two, embedded in Complex, has square two. This identity normalizes the rank-one qubit projectors.

Theorem 1.2 (Normalized rank-one densities are projections).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Observer/Existence/EmpiricalReflexiveSeparation.rankOneDensity_isNormalized (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The density matrix of a unit vector is a normalized rank-one projection.

Theorem 1.3 (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.
