Joint Reversal of Unimodular Record Phases
Abstract
Amplitude conjugation reverses unimodular record-overlap phases under composed finite-record channels.

Commentary.
Let a finite family of record factors act through the imported product channel. The record operation reverseRecord conjugates every complex amplitude of the selected existing record; reverse_record_overlap proves that this conjugates its Gram overlap. If conjugate(g_k) times g_k is one for every copy at the selected addresses, the reversed-family channel is applied to the output of the original-family channel and the two overlap products cancel.
This proves entrywise recovery only for the displayed unimodular-overlap family inside the deposited record-vector model. That frozen model does not expose record-generating unitaries, so the theorem does not construct an inverse unitary interaction or provide a recovery guarantee outside the stated overlap hypothesis. It makes no claim about inverting an arbitrary traced physical channel.
The proof reuses the frozen finite-copy channel equation. Local library searches checked map_sum, map_mul, Finset.prod_mul_distrib, Finset.prod_ite, and Complex.I_mul_I. The imported structure exposes no record-generating unitary inverse.
Theorem 1.2 (One surviving phase copy blocks restoration).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ObserverMemory/JointCoherentReversal.surviving_copy_blocks_reversal (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.
Reverse every copy except k and assume the other overlaps obey the same unimodularity law. The composed channel then multiplies the original entry by the surviving overlap g_k. If that overlap is not one and the input entry is nonzero, the result differs from the input. This is an entrywise obstruction for one surviving record factor, not a general no-recoherence theorem.
Theorem 1.3 (Two copies separate partial from joint reversal).
Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ObserverMemory/JointCoherentReversal.two_copy_joint_reversal_certificate (✓ std3). ∎
Source. Repository-derived.
Commentary.
Take two identical phase records whose zero-one overlap is minus i and the normalized equal-superposition density matrix. The original two-record channel changes its one-half entry to minus one-half. Applying only the copy-zero conjugate channel gives minus i over two, while applying the fully conjugated family channel to that same channel output restores one-half. This witnesses reversible phase cancellation, not recovery of zero-overlap decoherence.
