Finite Bilateral Trajectories

Abstract

Bilateral trajectories of a finite system are uniquely based at periodic points.

Theorem 1.1 (Finite systems have unique bilateral periodic trajectories).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ObserverMemory/InverseLimits/FiniteBilateralTrajectory.finite_bilateral_trajectory (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Let Y be finite and F a self-map. A bilateral trajectory is represented by its backward half x, satisfying F(x(n+1))=x(n); its forward half is then generated uniquely by F. A bilateral periodic trajectory is the subtype for which every represented state is periodic.

The exact repository coordinate-periodicity theorem proves the first conjunct and shows that every compatible trajectory belongs to that subtype. The exact coordinate-zero bijection supplies one trajectory through each periodic point and proves its uniqueness.

The imported repository results apply the pinned-Mathlib declarations Function.bijOn_periodicPts, Function.IsPeriodicPt.eq_of_apply_eq, and Fintype.exists_ne_map_eq_of_card_lt. Repository and pinned-Mathlib searches found no theorem packaging both displayed clauses.
