Residual Control of Visible Compression

Abstract

Orthogonal residual norms control visible compression defects.

Definition 1.1 (Centered density coordinate).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Tomography/ResidualControlsNaturality.densityCoordinate (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A positive semidefinite trace-one matrix is centered at the maximally mixed matrix. Hermiticity and trace normalization place the result in the canonical real trace-zero Hermitian carrier.

Definition 1.2 (Visible compressed dynamics).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Tomography/ResidualControlsNaturality.visibleDynamics (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The visible dynamics is constructed from the ambient map and the named orthogonal projection: apply the ambient dynamics, then project its output back to the visible subspace.

Theorem 1.3 (Orthogonal residual controls the visible compression defect).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Tomography/ResidualControlsNaturality.residual_controls_naturality (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Let S be a closed subspace of the real trace-zero Hermitian carrier, let F be L-Lipschitz, and let its visible dynamics be the orthogonal compression constructed above.

The public statement contains both source clauses. For every named coordinate X, the compression defect is at most L times the norm of its orthogonal residual. For the centered density coordinate, the same defect is at most L times the square root of the canonical residual mass.

Mathlib’s exact nonexpansiveness theorem for orthogonal projection is composed with the Lipschitz bound for F. Its orthogonal-complement identity identifies the input distance, and the real square-root identity converts the squared residual mass back to its norm.
