Diagonal Naturality Defect

Abstract

The worst diagonal naturality defect is exactly the semiconjugacy defect.

Theorem 1.1 (Diagonal naturality defect equals semiconjugacy defect).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Observer/Naturality/DiagonalNaturalityDefect.diagonal_naturality_defect_eq_semiconjugacy_defect (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Let A be a nonempty address type, Y a finite state type, and Z an observed space. Let tau and sigma update Y and Z, and let pi project Y to Z. Apply pi pointwise to tables and output vectors, and read a table diagonally before applying its update.

For every table E and address a, the observed distance between projecting after the Y-update and applying the Z-update after projection is bounded by the uniform semiconjugacy defect. The supremum over all tables and addresses is exactly that defect.

The upper bound applies the imported semiconjugacy-defect definition pointwise. For the reverse bound, each state y is placed in a constant table and evaluated at an address supplied by nonemptiness. Loogle supplied the exact le_iSup and iSup_le declarations used for both supremum directions. LeanSearch returned HTTP 404 for the full query, and pinned-library and repository searches found no complete theorem with this statement.
