Finite Realization Certificate

Abstract

Every unrealizable real protocol signature has a finite strict linear certificate.

Theorem 1.1 (Unrealizable signatures have finite linear witnesses).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Observer/Residuals/FiniteRealizationCertificate.finite_realization_certificate (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

A compact convex state set and its continuous affine real readouts construct the realization image through the canonical joint readout.

Strict separation produces a continuous linear functional on the product signature space. Continuity at zero forces that functional to depend on only finitely many protocol coordinates.

The displayed lower-completion coercions make the supremum equal negative infinity when the state set is empty. For every nonempty state set, they reduce to the ordinary attained real supremum.
