+# Review claims: `claim` / `disclaim` commands on a pull request.
+#
+# To avoid two reviewers (human or AI) picking up the same PR, a reviewer says
+# what they intend to review and claims it:
+#
+#   claim              -- claim this PR for review, for the default window
+#   claim 5 days       -- ... for a specific window (hours / days / weeks)
+#   claim 2026-08-01   -- ... until a specific date
+#   disclaim           -- release the claim early
+#
+# The bot assigns the claimant, applies the `review-claimed` label and keeps a
+# single status comment recording the deadline.  Claiming again extends the
+# window; submitting a review completes the claim.  Stale claims are released
+# automatically by `review_claim_expiry.yml`, so nothing stays blocked forever.
+#
+# A claim is cooperative, not a lock: it signals intent so that others can steer
+# around it, and anyone remains free to review the PR.
+#
+# As in `labels_from_comment.yml`, a command is a whole line of the comment, so
+# that a comment merely discussing claims does not trigger one.  Commands need
+# no repository permissions -- anyone can claim a review.

+# A reviewer claims a PR by commenting `claim` (see `review_claim.yml`).  This
+# workflow runs hourly and, for every PR carrying the `review-claimed` label:
+#
+#   * @-mentions the claimant 48h and then 24h before the deadline, skipping a
+#     reminder that is not shorter than the window they asked for;
+#   * once the deadline passes, completes the claim quietly if they did review
+#     in time, and otherwise releases it -- dropping the label and taking the
+#     claimant off the PR as reviewer and assignee -- announcing the release on
+#     Zulip so that somebody else picks the PR up.
+#
+# The deadline is read back out of the claim's status comment, so extending a
+# claim (`claim` again) moves the deadline and resets its reminders with it.
+#
+# The work itself is in `scripts/review_claim.py`.

+# Forces
+
+This module defines forces acting on objects, expressed in a reference frame.
+A `Force` records its target and its vector value over time. An `InternalForce`
+additionally records a distinct source object.
+
+The time-dependent vector describes the force acting on the target, without
+prescribing how that force is determined. For example, a gravitational force can
+be specified directly from the target's mass, while a constraint force can be
+specified by its relation to the motion of the objects. Representing both by the
+same type allows Newton's laws to be stated independently of the particular
+interactions present.
+
+The reference frame appears in the type of a force's vector values, keeping their
+coordinate dependence explicit. The definition lives in the
+`ClassicalMechanics.ReferenceFrame` namespace to support dot notation such as
+`frame.Force Object`, but also occupies a general name that future non-particle
+Newtonian formalizations may need.
+
+The target type `Object` is therefore deliberately left arbitrary. Newtonian mechanics is
+not limited to point particles, so this force representation is kept independent
+of any particular model of matter, with the intention it may get generalized for
+rigid body mechanics, continuum mechanics, or other Newtonian models in the future.

+Title: Simple pendulum
+
+Overview: |
+    A simple pendulum is a bob on a rigid massless rod of length ℓ, pinned at a pivot and swinging
+    in a vertical plane under gravity g. Its configuration is the angle of the rod from the downward
+    vertical, taken modulo a full turn, so the configuration space is a circle; the position of the
+    bob in the plane is (ℓ sin θ, −ℓ cos θ). The motion is governed by θ̈ + (g/ℓ) sin θ = 0. For
+    small amplitudes it is harmonic with period 2π√(ℓ/g); for librations (amplitudes below the
+    inverted position) the period grows with the amplitude and is given by a complete elliptic
+    integral. This API records the configuration space with its manifold structure and its
+    embedding into physical space, together with the lifted Lagrangian and equation of motion,
+    the equivalence of that equation with the vanishing of the variational gradient of the
+    action, the conservation of energy, the Hamiltonian formulation with the equivalence of
+    the Newtonian, scalar, Hamiltonian and variational formulations, the equilibria with
+    the separatrix energy and the below/above-threshold energy bounds, the invariance of
+    the lifted dynamics under shifting the angle by whole turns,
+    the uniqueness of the solutions with given initial angle and
+    angular velocity together with their time-reversal symmetry, and, for any initial data, a
+    curve with that initial data satisfying the equation of motion within ε of the initial
+    instant, and the small-angle limit —
+    the linearized dynamics as a harmonic oscillator, its period 2π√(ℓ/g), and the cubic bound
+    on the linearization error — and the classical amplitude-dependent period formula
+    4√(ℓ/g) K(sin²(θ₀/2)), with its small-angle limit and its monotonicity and bounds in the
+    amplitude; its identification with the nonlinear return time remains open.

+# The simple gravity pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A simple gravity pendulum is a bob of mass `m` fixed to one end of a rigid massless rod of length
+`ℓ`, the other end of which is pinned at a pivot, swinging in a vertical plane under a uniform
+gravitational acceleration `g`. Its configuration is the angle `θ` of the rod from the downward
+vertical. The bob moves on the circle of radius `ℓ` about the pivot, so its moment of inertia
+about the pivot is `I = m ℓ²` and its kinetic energy is `T = ½ I θ̇²`. Swinging out to the angle
+`θ` raises the bob by `ℓ (1 - cos θ)` against gravity, so the potential energy is
+`V = m g ℓ (1 - cos θ)`, normalized to vanish at the bottom of the swing. Balancing the rate of
+change of the angular momentum about the pivot against the torque `-m g ℓ sin θ` of gravity gives
+the equation of motion `I θ̈ = -m g ℓ sin θ`, equivalently `θ̈ + (g/ℓ) sin θ = 0`. The mass drops
+out of the motion, which is governed by the single quantity `ω = √(g/ℓ)`, the angular frequency of
+the small oscillations about the bottom.
+
+The configuration of the pendulum is genuinely an angle modulo a full turn, an element of the
+circle `SimplePendulum.ConfigurationSpace`. As for the harmonic oscillator, the dynamics in this
+file are written instead on the Euclidean lift `Time → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)`: the angle is
+carried by a real number, from which the configuration is recovered by
+`SimplePendulum.ConfigurationSpace.ofAngle`, and the one-dimensional Euclidean space stands in for
+both the configuration space and its tangent space, so that the Euler–Lagrange operator of Physlib
+applies verbatim. Two lifts differing by `2π n` describe the same motion: the invariance of the
+dynamics under such shifts is proved in the module `SimplePendulum.LiftInvariance`, and the full
+connection of the model here with the geometric configuration space is made in a later module.
+The first consequences of the dynamics — the equilibria, and the below- and above-separatrix
+energy bounds characteristic of libration and rotation — follow in `SimplePendulum.Equilibria`.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `SimplePendulum` contains the input data of the problem: the mass `m` of the bob, the length `ℓ`
+  of the rod and the gravitational acceleration `g`.
+- `SimplePendulum.ω` is the angular frequency `√(g/ℓ)` of the small oscillations, and
+  `SimplePendulum.inertia` is the moment of inertia `m ℓ²` of the bob about the pivot. They are
+  tied together by `SimplePendulum.ω_sq_mul_inertia`, the identity by which the mass cancels from
+  the equation of motion.
+- `SimplePendulum.kineticEnergy`, `SimplePendulum.potentialEnergy` and `SimplePendulum.energy` are
+  the energies, with the bounds `potentialEnergy_nonneg`, `potentialEnergy_le` and
+  `potentialEnergy_eq_zero_iff`, the gradient `gradient_potentialEnergy` of the potential and the
+  time derivatives `kineticEnergy_deriv`, `potentialEnergy_deriv` and `energy_deriv`.
+- `SimplePendulum.lagrangian` is the Lagrangian `T - V` of the pendulum, and
+  `SimplePendulum.torque` is the torque about the pivot, the generalized force conjugate to
+  the angle.
+- `SimplePendulum.EquationOfMotion` is the equation of motion `I θ̈ = τ(θ)`, with its scalar form
+  `equationOfMotion_iff_scalar` and its independence of the mass `equationOfMotion_iff_of_eq_ω`;
+  `SimplePendulum.IsSolution` is a smooth solution of it.
+- `SimplePendulum.gradLagrangian` is the variational derivative of the action, computed by
+  `gradLagrangian_eq_eulerLagrangeOp` and `gradLagrangian_eq_torque`.
+- `SimplePendulum.equationOfMotion_iff_gradLagrangian_zero` identifies the equation of motion,
+  for smooth lifts of the angle, with the vanishing of the variational derivative of the action,
+  and `SimplePendulum.isSolution_iff` characterizes the solutions as the smooth critical points
+  of the action.
+- `SimplePendulum.energy_conservation_of_equationOfMotion`,
+  `SimplePendulum.energy_conservation_of_equationOfMotion'` and
+  `SimplePendulum.IsSolution.energy_eq` express the conservation of energy along the motions of

+## A. The input data
+
+We start by defining a structure containing the input data of the simple pendulum, and proving
+basic properties thereof. The input data consists of the mass `m` of the bob, the length `ℓ` of
+the rod, and the gravitational acceleration `g`; everything else in this file is built from these
+three numbers.

+
+### A.1. The structure of the input data
+
+The three numbers are carried by a structure, together with the positivity assumptions: a
+pendulum with a massless bob, a rod of zero length or no gravity is not a pendulum.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The simple gravity pendulum is specified by the mass `m` of its bob, the length `ℓ` of its
+  rod, and the gravitational acceleration `g`. All three are assumed to be positive. The
+  configuration of the pendulum is the angle of the rod from the downward vertical. -/

+
+## B. Frequency and moment of inertia
+
+Two derived quantities control the dynamics of the pendulum: the angular frequency `ω = √(g/ℓ)`
+of the small oscillations about the bottom of the swing, and the moment of inertia `I = m ℓ²` of
+the bob about the pivot.
+
+The mass enters the equation of motion only through `I`, where it cancels against the mass in the
+torque of gravity; what survives is `ω`. The identity performing that cancellation is
+`ω_sq_mul_inertia`.
+
+-/
+
+/-!
+
+### B.1. The angular frequency
+
+Linearizing `sin θ ≈ θ` about the bottom of the swing turns the equation of motion into that of a
+harmonic oscillator of angular frequency `√(g/ℓ)`. The exact motion is not harmonic, but this
+frequency is the natural time scale of the pendulum and appears throughout its analysis.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The angular frequency of the simple pendulum, `ω`, is defined as `√(g/ℓ)`. It is the angular
+  frequency of the small oscillations of the pendulum about the bottom of its swing. -/

+
+### B.2. The moment of inertia
+
+The bob is a point mass at the fixed distance `ℓ` from the pivot, so the moment of inertia of the
+pendulum about the pivot is `m ℓ²`. It is the coefficient relating the angular acceleration to
+the torque, and so plays for the angle the role that the mass plays for a position.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The moment of inertia of the simple pendulum about its pivot is `I = m ℓ²`, the moment of
+  inertia of a point mass `m` at distance `ℓ` from the axis. -/

+## C. The energies
+
+The simple pendulum has a kinetic energy determined by the rate of change of its angle, and a
+potential energy determined by the height of the bob, hence by the angle itself. These combine to
+give the total energy of the pendulum.
+
+Here we state and prove a number of properties of these energies, including the gradient of the
+potential energy, which is the object entering the equation of motion.
+
+-/
+

+
+### C.1. The definitions of the energies
+
+We define the three energies; it is these energies which control the dynamics of the pendulum,
+through the Lagrangian.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum along a lift `θ` of the angle is
+  $\frac{1}{2} I ‖\dot θ‖^2$, where `I` is the moment of inertia about the pivot. -/

+
+/-- The potential energy of the simple pendulum at the angle `x` is `m g ℓ (1 - cos (x 0))`, the
+  work done against gravity in raising the bob from the bottom of the swing. It is normalized to
+  vanish at the bottom. -/

+
+### C.2. Simple equalities and bounds for the energies
+
+Besides the definitional unfoldings, the potential energy of the pendulum is non-negative and
+vanishes exactly at the bottom of the swing, just as the potential energy of the harmonic
+oscillator is non-negative and vanishes exactly at the origin. What has no harmonic-oscillator
+analogue is the upper bound: the potential energy of the pendulum is at most `2 m g ℓ`, its
+value at the top of the swing.

+### C.3. Smoothness of the energies and the gradient of the potential
+
+The potential energy is a smooth function of the angle, and its gradient on the one-dimensional
+Euclidean lift is `m g ℓ sin θ` times the unit vector of the angular coordinate. This gradient is
+what the equation of motion balances against the angular acceleration, so we record it here, once.
+The subsection also records that, along a smooth lift of the angle, each of the three energies is
+a differentiable function of the time — differentiability in time along the lift, as distinct
+from the differentiability in the angle of the potential energy — which is the differentiability
+that the time derivatives of section C.4 consume.

+## D. The Lagrangian
+
+The pendulum is a conservative system, so its Lagrangian is the kinetic energy minus the potential
+energy, `L = ½ I θ̇² - m g ℓ (1 - cos θ)`. As for the harmonic oscillator, it is defined as a
+function on phase space, of the time, the angle and the angular velocity separately; that it is
+`T - V` along a lift of the angle is then a lemma rather than the definition.
+
+The Lagrangian carries no explicit time dependence, the pendulum being autonomous; the time
+argument is kept because it is the type the Euler–Lagrange operator of Physlib expects.
+

+
+/-!
+
+### D.1. The definition of the Lagrangian and equalities for it
+
+The Lagrangian is written directly in terms of the moment of inertia and the potential energy,

+

+
+## E. The torque and the equation of motion
+
+Gravity exerts on the bob a torque `-m g ℓ sin θ` about the pivot, the generalized force conjugate
+to the angle, and the equation of motion balances it against the rate of change `I θ̈` of the
+angular momentum.
+
+We take that pointwise relation as the definition of the equation of motion, rather than the
+vanishing of the variational derivative of the action, which is how the harmonic oscillator defines
+its own. The reason is that the variational derivative is defined to be `0` whenever no variational
+gradient exists, so its vanishing holds vacuously for every lift of the angle too rough to admit
+one; it says what it is meant to say only under a smoothness assumption. The pointwise equation is
+totalized too — `∂ₜ` is `fderiv`, which is `0` off differentiability — but its totalization cannot
+make the equation vacuously true: both sides remain genuine, and generally unequal, functions of
+time. A rough lift can still satisfy the equation accidentally — a discontinuous lift hopping
+between equilibrium angles solves it, as section E.3 explains — which is why the notion of a
+solution, `IsSolution`, demands smoothness as well. It is also the form in which the equation of
+motion is solved and used. The two agree for smooth lifts, by
+`equationOfMotion_iff_gradLagrangian_zero` of section G, which is one rearrangement away from
+`gradLagrangian_eq_torque` of section F.

+
+### E.1. The torque
+
+The pendulum is conservative, so the generalized force conjugate to the angle is minus the
+gradient of the potential energy. It is a torque about the pivot rather than a force, the angle
+being the coordinate; this is why it is `m g ℓ sin θ` and not `m g sin θ`.

+  coordinate. It is restoring near the bottom of the swing: for `|θ| < π` it opposes the

+
+  This pointwise relation, and not the vanishing of the variational derivative of the action, is
+  the definition of the equation of motion here; see the discussion in section E. For a smooth

+
+### E.3. Smooth solutions
+
+A solution of the pendulum is a smooth lift satisfying the equation of motion. Smoothness is part
+of the definition because the bare pointwise equation, being totalized, admits unphysical
+solutions: a lift jumping between the equilibrium angles `0` and `π` has zero torque everywhere,
+and — being locally constant wherever it is differentiable at all — it has `∂ₜ θ`, and hence
+`∂ₜ (∂ₜ θ)`, identically zero, so it satisfies the equation even when it is nowhere continuous.
+Demanding smoothness excludes such junk, and is the regularity under which the variational
+description of the motion agrees with the pointwise one.

+### E.4. The scalar equation and independence of the mass
+
+The angle is a single number, so the vector equation of motion is equivalent to the scalar
+equation obtained by reading off its one component. Dividing that component by the moment of
+inertia, using `ω_sq_mul_inertia`, cancels the mass and leaves `θ̈ + ω² sin θ = 0`: two pendulums
+with the same `ω = √(g/ℓ)` have exactly the same angular motions, whatever their masses.

+# Equilibria and energy regimes of the simple pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The equation of motion of the simple gravity pendulum, `I θ̈ = -m g ℓ sin θ` in the lifted
+formulation of `SimplePendulum.Basic`, has two elementary consequences that follow from the
+vanishing of the torque and from energy conservation alone, before any non-constant solution is
+constructed. The first is the equilibria: the torque of gravity vanishes exactly where `sin θ`
+does, so the constant lifts at the angle `0` — the bob hanging at rest below the pivot — and at
+the angle `π` — the bob balanced above it — solve the equation of motion, and conversely a
+constant lift is a solution only at the multiples of `π`. The second is the division of the
+smooth motions into regimes by the value of the conserved energy. The threshold is the energy
+`2 m g ℓ` of the inverted equilibrium, the separatrix energy: below it the potential energy
+cannot reach its value at the top of the swing, so the bob never gets there — classically the
+regime of libration, the bob swinging back and forth; above it the kinetic energy never
+vanishes, so the bob never halts — classically the regime of rotation, the pendulum circulating
+over the top. This is the phase portrait of the pendulum drawn in Arnold §4, whose level curves
+of the energy are closed ovals below the threshold and unbounded waves above it.
+
+As in `SimplePendulum.Basic`, the motion is written on the Euclidean lift
+`Time → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)` of the angle. Only the bounds characteristic of each regime
+are proved here: the librating and rotating motions themselves, and the instability of the
+inverted equilibrium, are statements about non-constant solutions and are not constructed in
+this module.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `SimplePendulum.equationOfMotion_const_zero` and `SimplePendulum.equationOfMotion_const_pi`

+  the pendulum by `SimplePendulum.isSolution_const_zero` and `SimplePendulum.isSolution_const_pi`,

+  the equilibria.
+- `SimplePendulum.separatrixEnergy` is the energy `2 m g ℓ` of the inverted equilibrium
+  (`SimplePendulum.energy_const_pi`), the threshold between libration and rotation.
+- `SimplePendulum.neg_one_lt_cos_of_energy_lt`: below the threshold the bob never reaches the

+  never vanishes. `SimplePendulum.potentialEnergy_eq_energy_of_deriv_eq_zero`: at a turning
+  point the potential energy equals the total energy.

+## A. Equilibria
+
+The two configurations at which the torque of gravity vanishes — the bob hanging at rest below
+the pivot and the bob balanced above it — give constant solutions of the equation of motion, the
+simplest explicit solutions of the pendulum. This section verifies the two, and proves the
+converse: a constant lift solves the equation of motion only where the torque vanishes, that is
+only at the angles `π n`. The constant solutions are exactly the equilibria.

+
+At the angle `0` the bob hangs at rest at the bottom of its swing. The lift is constant, so the
+angular momentum does not change, and the torque vanishes with `sin 0`: both sides of the
+equation of motion are zero.

+## B. Energy regimes
+
+Energy conservation divides the smooth motions of the pendulum into regimes according to the
+value of the conserved energy, the threshold being the energy `2 m g ℓ` of the inverted
+equilibrium. Below the threshold the potential energy cannot reach its value at the top of the
+swing, so the bob never reaches the top; classically this is the regime of libration, the bob
+swinging back and forth. Above the threshold the kinetic energy can never vanish, so the bob
+never halts; classically this is the regime of rotation, the pendulum circulating over the top.
+This is the phase portrait of the pendulum drawn in Arnold §4, whose level curves of the energy
+are closed ovals below the threshold and unbounded waves above it. This section proves the
+below- and above-threshold bounds characteristic of each regime, from two elementary bounds
+relating the energies — the librating and rotating motions themselves are not constructed
+here — and characterizes the turning points, the instants at which the velocity vanishes and
+the potential energy exhausts the total energy.
+
+-/
+
+/-!
+
+### B.1. The separatrix energy
+
+The threshold between the regimes is the energy of the inverted equilibrium: no kinetic energy,
+and the potential energy `2 m g ℓ` of the top of the swing. It is called the separatrix energy
+after the curve it names in the phase portrait, the level set of the energy separating the
+closed orbits of libration from the unbounded orbits of rotation. Only the threshold value is
+used in this file: the separatrix motions themselves — the non-constant solutions asymptotic to
+the inverted equilibrium — are not constructed here.
+

+  equilibrium. It is the threshold separating the two regimes of the motion, libration below it
+  and rotation above it. -/

+### B.2. Energy bounds
+
+Two elementary bounds drive the regime theorems: the kinetic energy is non-negative, so the
+potential energy is at most the total energy; and the potential energy is non-negative, so

+### B.3. Libration and rotation
+
+Along a smooth solution with energy below the separatrix energy, the potential energy — being
+at most the conserved total energy — stays strictly below `2 m g ℓ`, so the cosine of the angle
+stays strictly above `-1`: the bob never reaches the top of the swing, and the motion is a
+libration, swinging back and forth — though only the bound is proved here. Along a smooth
+solution with energy above the separatrix energy the angular velocity can never vanish, for at
+such an instant the whole energy would be potential, and the potential energy never exceeds
+`2 m g ℓ`; the velocity being continuous, it keeps a fixed sign, and the motion is a rotation
+over the top — though only the non-vanishing is proved here.

+# Configuration space of the simple pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A simple pendulum is a bob fixed to one end of a rigid massless rod of length `ℓ`, the other end
+of which is pinned at a pivot, swinging in a vertical plane under gravity. Its position is fixed by
+the angle of the rod from the downward vertical, and two angles that differ by a full turn describe
+the same position. The configuration space is therefore a circle.
+
+We record a configuration by its angle modulo `2π`, i.e. by an element of `Real.Angle`, as the
+sliding pendulum does (`Physlib.ClassicalMechanics.Pendulum.SlidingPendulum`). The circle carries
+the structure of a compact analytic one-dimensional manifold; we obtain it by identifying the
+configuration space with Mathlib's unit circle `Circle` and pulling back its charts. The smooth
+identification of the configuration space with `Circle` (the analogue of the harmonic oscillator's
+`valDiffeomorph`) is deferred to a later module. The real-valued angle that is used to
+write down the dynamics is a lift of the configuration along the covering map
+`ℝ → ConfigurationSpace`; it is not a chart, and two lifts differing by `2π n` describe the same
+configuration. Finally the position of the bob in the plane is recorded by `toSpace ℓ`, which sends
+the configuration at angle `θ` to `(ℓ sin θ, -ℓ cos θ)`: the pivot is the origin and the second axis
+points upwards.

+# The simple pendulum in physical space
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The trajectory module places the bob in the plane along a lifted trajectory; this module fixes a
+simple pendulum `S` and identifies the dynamics of `SimplePendulum.Basic`, written on the
+Euclidean lift of the angle, with the dynamics of the bob moving in physical space. Along a lift
+`θ` the bob is at `S.spaceTrajectory θ`, at the fixed distance `ℓ` from the pivot; its velocity
+is obtained by differentiating the position componentwise, and the square of its speed is
+`ℓ² θ̇²`. The chart kinetic energy `½ I θ̇²` is then exactly the kinetic energy `½ m ‖v‖²` of
+the bob, the chart potential energy `m g ℓ (1 - cos θ)` is exactly the gravitational potential
+`m g h` of the bob with the height `h` measured from the bottom of the swing, and the chart
+Lagrangian is the constrained Lagrangian `T - V` of a point mass moving on the circle of radius
+`ℓ` about the pivot. Velocities in this module are physical-space time derivatives; the
+geometric velocity as a tangent vector to the configuration circle is deferred, as discussed in
+the trajectory module.

+## A. The bob's position along a lifted trajectory
+
+Fixing a pendulum `S`, the position of the bob in the plane along the trajectory described by a
+lift `θ` of the angle is obtained by composing the lifted trajectory with the map to physical
+space for a rod of length `S.ℓ`. Along it the bob is at `(ℓ sin θ, -ℓ cos θ)`, and since the
+length of the rod is positive the bob stays at distance `ℓ` from the pivot at all times.

+## B. The bob's velocity and speed
+
+Differentiating the position of the bob componentwise gives its velocity in the plane: along a
+differentiable lift the bob's position is differentiable in time, and its velocity is
+`(ℓ cos θ, ℓ sin θ)` times the angular velocity — the vector tangent to the circle of radius
+`ℓ`, of length `ℓ |θ̇|`. The square of the speed is therefore `ℓ² θ̇²`, which is the identity
+behind the identification of the kinetic energies in the next section. The two chain-rule
+computations for the sine and the cosine of the angle read from a lift are recorded as

+potential `m g h` of the bob, the height `h` above the bottom of the swing being the vertical
+position of the bob plus `ℓ`. Consequently the chart Lagrangian is the constrained Lagrangian

+# Geometric trajectories of the simple pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A trajectory of the simple pendulum is a time-parametrized curve in the configuration circle.
+The dynamics of the pendulum is written for a real-valued lift of the angle;
+`Trajectory.ofLift` sends such a lift to the trajectory it describes on the circle, by applying
+the angular lift `ConfigurationSpace.ofAngle` at each time. Two lifts describe the same
+trajectory exactly when at each time they differ by a whole number of turns, a smooth lift
+describes a smooth curve in the circle, and composing with `ConfigurationSpace.toSpace` places
+the bob in the plane along the trajectory, at distance `|ℓ|` from the pivot at all times.
+
+The geometric velocity — the `mfderiv` of a trajectory as a tangent vector to the circle, read
+in its stereographic charts — is left for a later module, as is the smooth identification of
+the configuration space with `Circle`; in this module and the next, velocities are computed in
+physical space, on the position of the bob in the plane.

+## A. The trajectory type and the lift
+
+A trajectory is a curve in the configuration circle, parametrized by `Time`. The dynamics is
+written for the Euclidean lift `Time → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)` of the angle; `ofLift` sends a
+lift to the trajectory it describes, and the lift is faithful up to a whole number of turns at
+each time: shifting a lift by `2π n` gives the same trajectory, and two lifts give the same
+trajectory exactly when at each time they differ by some whole number of turns (possibly a
+different number at different times).

+## B. Smoothness of lifted trajectories
+
+The angular lift `ConfigurationSpace.ofAngle` is analytic, so the trajectory described by a lift
+inherits the regularity of the lift: a continuous lift describes a continuous trajectory, and a
+`C^n` lift describes a `C^n` curve in the configuration circle. Since `Time` is a normed space,
+smoothness of the lift is ordinary `ContDiff` smoothness, while smoothness of the trajectory is
+manifold smoothness into the circle.

+# The Hamiltonian formulation of the simple pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+This module gives the Hamiltonian formulation of the simple gravity pendulum, on the same
+one-dimensional Euclidean lift of the angle as `SimplePendulum.Basic`. The canonical momentum
+conjugate to the angle is the gradient of the Lagrangian in the angular velocity, the angular
+momentum `p = I θ̇` about the pivot; since the moment of inertia is positive, taking the
+canonical momentum is a linear equivalence between velocities and momenta. The Hamiltonian is
+the Legendre transform `H = ⟪p, θ̇⟫ - L` of the Lagrangian, which works out to the energy
+written on momentum-angle phase space, `H(t, p, θ) = ½ (1/I) ‖p‖² + V(θ)`; along any lift of
+the angle it is the energy of the lift. Hamilton's equations for the pendulum are packaged, as
+for the harmonic oscillator, into the vanishing of an operator on phase space, and for a smooth
+lift of the angle they are equivalent to the equation of motion of `SimplePendulum.Basic`.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `SimplePendulum.canonicalMomentum` is the canonical momentum `p = ∂L/∂θ̇ = I θ̇`, as a

+We gather the formulations of the dynamics of the simple pendulum into a single equivalence.
+For a smooth lift of the angle the equation of motion, its scalar form, Hamilton's equations,

+the rotational form of Newton's second law, so, unlike for the harmonic oscillator, no
+separate entry restates it. The equivalence of the equation of motion with the vanishing of
+the variational derivative of the action lives in section G.1 of the `Basic` module; the
+fourth entry states the same variational principle through the variational calculus directly.

+  3. Hamilton's equations for the lift and its canonical momentum, as the vanishing of the
+    Hamilton-equations operator;
+  4. the Lagrangian variational principle, the vanishing of the variational gradient of the
+    action integral of the Lagrangian, written through the variational calculus directly; the
+    same principle, through the variational derivative of the action, is recorded standalone
+    as `equationOfMotion_iff_gradLagrangian_zero` in the `Basic` module;

+# Independence of the lift for the simple pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The dynamics of the simple gravity pendulum in `SimplePendulum.Basic` is written on a lift of the
+motion: the real angle `θ t 0` stands for the configuration `ConfigurationSpace.ofAngle (θ t 0)`,
+and two lifts differing by a whole number of turns carry the same configurations. For the lifted
+formulation to describe the pendulum faithfully, nothing dynamical may depend on the choice of
+the lift. This module proves that the dynamical quantities — the potential and kinetic energies,
+the torque, the energy, and the equation of motion together with its solutions — are invariant
+under the deck transformations `θ ↦ θ + 2π n` of the angular lift, and closes by making the
+starting point precise: the shifted lift describes the same configuration, by the periodicity of
+the angular lift of the geometric configuration space. The packaging of this invariance at the
+level of configuration-space trajectories comes with the geometric bridge in a later module.

+# The period formula of the simple gravity pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Beyond the small-angle approximation the period of the simple gravity pendulum depends on the
+amplitude of the swing. Released from rest at the angle `θ₀`, with `0 < θ₀ < π`, the pendulum
+librates about the bottom of its swing, and the classical calculation (Landau & Lifshitz, §11,
+Problem 1) integrates the energy first integral by quadrature: the quarter period is the time
+of descent from `θ₀` to the bottom, the substitution `sin (θ/2) = sin (θ₀/2) sin φ` turns the
+resulting integral into a complete elliptic integral of the first kind, and the period is
+
+`T = 4 √(ℓ/g) K(sin ½θ₀)`,
+
+with `K` Legendre's complete elliptic integral of the first kind in the modulus convention. In
+the parameter convention of `Real.completeEllipticK`, where the parameter is the square
+`m = k²` of the modulus, the same formula reads `4 √(ℓ/g) completeEllipticK (sin² (θ₀/2))`.
+
+This module records that formula as `SimplePendulum.periodFormula` and proves what follows
+for it from the theory of `completeEllipticK` alone: it is even in the amplitude, at zero
+amplitude it is the small-angle period `2π √(ℓ/g)`, it is continuous on `(-π, π)` and tends to
+the small-angle period as the amplitude tends to zero, it is never below the small-angle
+period, it is strictly increasing in the amplitude on `[0, π)`, and it is at most
+`2π √(ℓ/g) / cos (θ₀/2)`. The formula is therefore not constant in the amplitude — the
+classical statement that the pendulum is not isochronous, once the identification below is
+proved — and the upper bound quantifies how it grows as the amplitude approaches the inverted
+position.
+
+What this module does not do is identify `periodFormula θ₀` with the period of a solution of
+the nonlinear equation of motion released from rest at `θ₀`. That identification is the
+theorem the formula is named for, and its formalization — the quarter period as a first hitting
+time, the quadrature of the energy first integral, the substitution, and their assembly, on top
+of the uniqueness of solutions and the time-reversal symmetry of the equation of motion
+(formalized in the companion module `SimplePendulum/Solution.lean`) — is not yet carried out;
+the `TODO` after the definition lists the milestones. Until then
+`periodFormula` is a definition, and the statements about it are statements about the elliptic
+integral.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `SimplePendulum.periodFormula` is the classical formula `4 √(ℓ/g) K(sin² (θ₀/2))` for the
+  period of libration with amplitude `θ₀`; for `|θ₀| < π` its parameter `sin² (θ₀/2)` lies
+  below `1` (`Real.sin_half_sq_lt_one`), so it is evaluated on the domain of
+  `completeEllipticK`.
+- `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_neg`: the formula is even in the amplitude.
+- `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_zero`: at zero amplitude the formula is the small-angle
+  period, `periodFormula 0 = smallAnglePeriod`.
+- `SimplePendulum.continuousOn_periodFormula` and
+  `SimplePendulum.continuousAt_periodFormula_zero`: the formula is continuous on `(-π, π)`,
+  in particular at `0`.
+- `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_tendsto_smallAnglePeriod`: the formula tends to the
+  small-angle period as the amplitude tends to zero.
+- `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_mono` and `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_strictMono`, with the
+  bundled `SimplePendulum.monotoneOn_periodFormula` and
+  `SimplePendulum.strictMonoOn_periodFormula`: on `[0, π)` the formula is increasing, and
+  strictly increasing, in the amplitude.
+- `SimplePendulum.smallAnglePeriod_le_periodFormula` and `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_pos`:
+  the formula is at least the small-angle period, in particular positive, whenever
+  `sin² (θ₀/2) < 1`.
+- `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_le` and `SimplePendulum.periodFormula_le'`: for `|θ₀| < π` the
+  formula is at most `2π √(ℓ/g) / cos (θ₀/2) = smallAnglePeriod / cos (θ₀/2)`.

+## A. The period formula, its continuity and its small-angle limit
+
+The classical formula for the period of libration as a function of the amplitude, its evenness
+and its domain, and its behaviour at small amplitudes: it is continuous on the libration range
+`(-π, π)`, at zero amplitude it is exactly the small-angle period, and it tends to the
+small-angle period as the amplitude tends to zero. These are facts about the elliptic integral
+on its domain and at the parameter `0`, where `K 0 = π/2`.

+
+### A.1. The formula, its domain and its evenness
+
+The formula `4 √(ℓ/g) K(sin² (θ₀/2))` is defined for every real `θ₀`, and is even in `θ₀`; for
+libration amplitudes `|θ₀| < π` the parameter `sin² (θ₀/2)` is below `1`
+(`Real.sin_half_sq_lt_one`), so the elliptic integral is evaluated on its domain. At `θ₀ = ±π`
+the parameter is `1`, where Legendre's `K` diverges — the pendulum released from rest at the
+inverted position never returns — while the Lean value of `completeEllipticK` at `m = 1` is a
+junk value (see the module docstring of `Physlib.Mathematics.SpecialFunctions.EllipticIntegral`),
+so nothing is claimed there.

+### A.2. Continuity and the small-angle limit
+
+At zero amplitude the parameter of the elliptic integral is `0`, where `K 0 = π/2`, and the
+formula collapses to `4 √(ℓ/g) · π/2 = 2π √(ℓ/g)`: the small-angle period. Since `K` is
+continuous on its domain and the parameter `sin² (θ₀/2)` is continuous in the amplitude and
+stays below `1` for `|θ₀| < π`, the formula is continuous on `(-π, π)`; in particular it tends
+to the small-angle period as the amplitude tends to zero — the sense in which the small-angle
+theory of `SimplePendulum.SmallAngle` is the limit of the classical formula.

+## B. Monotonicity and bounds in the amplitude
+
+The dependence of the period formula on the amplitude is inherited from the dependence of
+`completeEllipticK` on its parameter: on `[0, π)` the parameter `sin² (θ₀/2)` is strictly
+increasing in `θ₀` and stays below `1`, and `K` is strictly increasing on `(-∞, 1)`, so the
+formula is strictly increasing in the amplitude. The bounds `π/2 ≤ K m ≤ (π/2) (1 - m)^(-1/2)`
+on `[0, 1)` sandwich the formula between the small-angle period and
+`2π √(ℓ/g) / cos (θ₀/2)`.

+/-!
+
+### B.1. Monotonicity in the amplitude
+
+For `0 ≤ θ₁ ≤ θ₂ < π` the half-angles lie in `[0, π/2)`, where the sine is nonnegative and
+increasing, so `sin² (θ₁/2) ≤ sin² (θ₂/2) < 1`, and the monotonicity of `K` on its domain does
+the rest. The strict version uses the strict monotonicity of the sine on the same interval and
+of `K`. Both are restated as bundled `MonotoneOn` and `StrictMonoOn` facts on `[0, π)`.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The period formula is increasing in the amplitude on `[0, π)`: for `0 ≤ θ₁ ≤ θ₂ < π`,
+  `periodFormula θ₁ ≤ periodFormula θ₂`. Classically this is the statement that the pendulum is
+  not isochronous — the period of libration grows with the amplitude — once `periodFormula` is

+# Small-angle motion of the simple gravity pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Near the bottom of its swing the torque of the simple gravity pendulum is
+`-m g ℓ sin θ ≈ -m g ℓ θ`, so for small angles the equation of motion `I θ̈ = -m g ℓ sin θ`
+linearizes to `I θ̈ = -m g ℓ θ`: the equation of a harmonic oscillator whose mass is the moment
+of inertia `I = m ℓ²` of the pendulum and whose spring constant is the coefficient `m g ℓ` of
+the linearized torque. The angular frequency `√(k/m)` of this oscillator is `√(g/ℓ)`, which is
+exactly the constant `ω` of `SimplePendulum.Basic`, there described as the frequency of the
+small oscillations.
+
+This module packages the oscillator of the small oscillations as
+`SimplePendulum.toHarmonicOscillator`, defines the linearized equation of motion
+`θ̈ + ω² θ = 0` on the same Euclidean lift of the angle as the nonlinear equation, and proves
+that for smooth lifts of the angle it is the equation of motion of the associated harmonic
+oscillator, so that the solution theory of the harmonic oscillator applies verbatim to the
+small oscillations of the pendulum.
+
+The equivalence carries the whole solution theory of the oscillator over to the small
+oscillations. Every choice of initial angle and initial angular velocity determines a smooth
+small-angle motion, unique among the smooth solutions of the linearized equation of motion,
+with the closed form `cos (ω t) x₀ + (sin (ω t)/ω) v₀`; released from rest at the angle `θ₀`
+it is the cosine `θ₀ cos (ω t)`. Every small-angle motion is periodic with the small-angle
+period `2π √(ℓ/g)`, in which neither the mass of the bob nor the amplitude of the swing
+appears: within the linearization the pendulum is isochronous. The linearization is not exact,
+and the final section measures what it discards: the torque differs from its linearization
+`-m g ℓ θ` by exactly `m g ℓ (θ - sin θ)`, of norm at most `m g ℓ ‖θ‖³/6`, so every
+small-angle motion solves the equation of motion of the pendulum itself up to a residual
+cubically small in the angle.

+## ii. Key results
+
+- `SimplePendulum.toHarmonicOscillator` is the harmonic oscillator to which the pendulum
+  linearizes, of mass `I = m ℓ²` and spring constant `m g ℓ`. The simp lemmas
+  `toHarmonicOscillator_m` and `toHarmonicOscillator_k` record its data, and
+  `toHarmonicOscillator_ω` identifies its angular frequency with the constant
+  `SimplePendulum.ω` of the pendulum.
+- `SimplePendulum.LinearizedEquationOfMotion` is the small-angle equation of motion
+  `θ̈ + ω² θ = 0`. Its rotational Newton form is `linearizedEquationOfMotion_iff_newton`, and
+  `linearizedEquationOfMotion_iff` identifies it, for smooth lifts of the angle, with the
+  equation of motion of the associated harmonic oscillator. The linearization is literally
+  differentiation: `fderiv_torque_zero_apply` identifies the derivative of the torque at the
+  hanging equilibrium with the force of the oscillator, and
+  `linearizedEquationOfMotion_iff_fderiv_torque` restates the linearized equation as the
+  equation of motion with the torque replaced by that derivative.
+- `SimplePendulum.smallAngleTrajectory` is the small-angle motion determined by a choice of
+  initial conditions, the trajectory of the associated harmonic oscillator: it has the closed
+  form `cos (ω t) x₀ + (sin (ω t)/ω) v₀` (`smallAngleTrajectory_eq`), it is smooth
+  (`smallAngleTrajectory_contDiff`), it assumes its initial data at time `0`
+  (`smallAngleTrajectory_at_zero`, `smallAngleTrajectory_velocity_at_zero`), and it satisfies
+  the linearized equation of motion (`smallAngleTrajectory_linearizedEquationOfMotion`).
+- `SimplePendulum.linearized_unique`: a smooth solution of the linearized equation of motion
+  with the initial data of `IC` is `smallAngleTrajectory IC`. Together with the previous point,
+  this is the existence and uniqueness of the small-angle motions.
+- `SimplePendulum.releasedFromRest` is the small-angle motion released from rest at angle
+  `θ₀`, the cosine `θ₀ cos (ω t)`; `releasedFromRest_eq` identifies it with the small-angle
+  trajectory of the initial conditions with initial angle `θ₀` and zero initial angular
+  velocity.
+- `SimplePendulum.smallAnglePeriod` is the period of the small oscillations, the period of the
+  associated harmonic oscillator: `2π/ω` (`smallAnglePeriod_eq_two_pi_div_ω`), with closed
+  form `2π √(ℓ/g)` (`smallAnglePeriod_eq`). Every small-angle trajectory is periodic with this
+  period (`smallAngleTrajectory_periodic`, `releasedFromRest_periodic`), and along each the
+  energy of the associated oscillator is the constant fixed by the initial data
+  (`smallAngleTrajectory_energy`).
+- `SimplePendulum.torque_sub_toHarmonicOscillator_force` computes the exact difference between
+  the torque and the force of the associated oscillator: the term `m g ℓ (θ - sin θ)` the
+  linearization discards. Its norm is at most `m g ℓ ‖θ‖³/6`
+  (`norm_torque_sub_toHarmonicOscillator_force_le`), in coordinates `abs_torque_add_linear_le`,
+  and `gradLagrangian_sub_toHarmonicOscillator` identifies the difference of the variational
+  gradients of the two actions with the difference of torque and linearized force, with the
+  norm bound `norm_gradLagrangian_sub_toHarmonicOscillator_le`.
+- `SimplePendulum.norm_equationOfMotion_residual_le`: a small-angle motion nearly solves the
+  equation of motion of the pendulum itself, leaving at every instant a residual of norm at
+  most `m g ℓ ‖θ‖³/6` — the sense in which the small-angle theory approximates the pendulum;
+  in variational form, `norm_gradLagrangian_le_of_linearizedEquationOfMotion` makes it a
+  near-critical point of the pendulum's action.

+
+Replacing `sin θ` by `θ` in the equation of motion `I θ̈ = -m g ℓ sin θ` produces the equation
+of a harmonic oscillator: the moment of inertia plays the role of the mass, and the coefficient
+`m g ℓ` of the linearized torque plays the role of the spring constant. We record this
+oscillator once and for all; its solution theory is the solution theory of the small
+oscillations of the pendulum.

+
+The linearized equation of motion is the equation `θ̈ + ω² θ = 0` obtained from the scalar form
+`θ̈ + ω² sin θ = 0` of the equation of motion by replacing `sin θ` with `θ`. It is stated, like

+### B.2. Equivalence with the equation of motion of the oscillator
+
+For a smooth lift of the angle, the linearized equation of motion is the equation of motion of
+the associated harmonic oscillator, through the latter's own form of Newton's second law. The
+solution theory of the harmonic oscillator thereby becomes available to the small oscillations
+of the pendulum.

+  the equation of motion of the associated harmonic oscillator. The oscillator's equation of

+  smoothness is the regularity under which that variational description agrees with the pointwise
+  one. The smoothness-free pointwise content is `linearizedEquationOfMotion_iff_newton`. -/

+### B.3. Linearization as differentiation of the torque
+
+The linearized force is not an ansatz: it is the derivative of the pendulum's torque at the
+hanging equilibrium. The torque vanishes at the equilibrium, so its best linear approximation
+there is the derivative alone, and that derivative is exactly the force of the associated
+harmonic oscillator. The linearized equation of motion is therefore the equation of motion
+with the torque replaced by its derivative at the equilibrium — linearizing the pendulum is
+differentiating its torque.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The derivative of the torque at the hanging equilibrium is the force of the associated
+  harmonic oscillator: `(Dτ)(0) v = -m g ℓ v`. Linearizing the pendulum is differentiating

+# Existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the simple pendulum
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The equation of motion of the simple pendulum, `θ̈ + ω² sin θ = 0`, is nonlinear, and unlike the
+harmonic oscillator it has no solution in closed elementary form. Whatever is to be proved about
+"the" motion of the pendulum released with a given angle and angular velocity must therefore rest
+on the general theory of ordinary differential equations rather than on an explicit formula. This
+module supplies that foundation: two smooth solutions of the equation of motion with the same
+initial angle and the same initial angular velocity coincide for all time, and for any initial
+angle and angular velocity there is a curve with that initial data satisfying the equation of
+motion on some interval of time about the initial instant.
+
+The argument is the one used for the damped harmonic oscillator. The second-order equation is
+rewritten as the first-order system `(θ, θ̇)' = (θ̇, -ω² sin θ)` on the phase space, whose
+right-hand side, the phase-space vector field of the pendulum, is globally Lipschitz because `sin`
+is. The global uniqueness theorem for Lipschitz first-order systems, Mathlib's
+`ODE_solution_unique_univ`, then gives the uniqueness. The uniqueness is global in time and does
+not depend on the size of the motion: it holds for librations and rotations alike. Existence comes
+from the Picard–Lindelöf theorem applied to the same first-order system, the phase-space vector
+field being smooth; the theorem is local, and so is the statement proved here.
+
+The equation of motion contains no first derivative of the angle: there is no damping. Reversing
+the direction of time therefore carries solutions to solutions, and combined with uniqueness this
+shows that a pendulum released from rest retraces its path, the angle being an even function of
+the time since release.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `SimplePendulum.phaseVectorField` is the phase-space vector field `(θ, θ̇) ↦ (θ̇, -ω² sin θ)`,
+  and `SimplePendulum.phaseVectorField_lipschitz` proves that it is globally Lipschitz, with
+  constant `1 + ω²`.
+- `SimplePendulum.acceleration_eq_of_equationOfMotion` solves the equation of motion for the
+  angular acceleration, and `SimplePendulum.phaseCurve_hasDerivAt` shows that the phase curve
+  `(θ, θ̇)` of a smooth solution is an integral curve of the phase-space vector field.
+- `SimplePendulum.equationOfMotion_unique` proves that two smooth solutions of the equation of
+  motion with the same initial angle and angular velocity are equal, and
+  `SimplePendulum.IsSolution.eq_of_initial` is the same statement for solutions.
+- `SimplePendulum.isSolution_comp_neg` proves that the time reversal `t ↦ θ (-t)` of a solution
+  is a solution, and `SimplePendulum.releasedFromRest_even` that a solution released from rest is
+  an even function of time.
+- `SimplePendulum.exists_local_solution` proves, from the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, that for any
+  initial angle and angular velocity there is a curve with that initial data, differentiable
+  together with its velocity and satisfying the equation of motion at all times within some
+  `ε > 0` of the initial instant.

+## A. The phase-space vector field
+
+The equation of motion `θ̈ + ω² sin θ = 0` is of second order. Taking the angular velocity as a
+second unknown turns it into the first-order system `(θ, θ̇)' = (θ̇, -ω² sin θ)` on the phase
+space, the product of two copies of the one-dimensional Euclidean space carrying the angle and its
+rate of change. The right-hand side of this system is the phase-space vector field of the
+pendulum. Its first component is the projection onto the angular velocity, and its second is `-ω²`
+times the sine of the angle; as the derivative of `sin` is bounded by one, the field is globally
+Lipschitz on the phase space. This is the hypothesis under which the general uniqueness theorem
+for first-order systems applies with no restriction on the time interval or on the size of the
+motion.

+
+## D. Time-reversal symmetry
+
+The equation of motion `I θ̈ = τ(θ)` is of second order and contains no first derivative of the
+angle: there is no damping. Under the reversal of time `t ↦ -t` the angular velocity changes sign
+and the angular acceleration does not, so the reversed curve `t ↦ θ (-t)` of a solution is again a
+solution. Together with the uniqueness of section C this has a physical consequence: a pendulum
+released from rest at the instant `0` retraces its path, the angle at time `-t` being the angle at
+time `t`. The bookkeeping of the derivatives under the reflection of `Time` is done by the chain
+rule `Time.deriv_comp_neg` and its second-order form `Time.deriv_deriv_comp_neg`.

+### D.1. Time reversal of solutions

+
+## E. Local existence
+
+The uniqueness of section C says that a solution with given initial angle and angular velocity is
+unique if it exists. Existence comes from the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, in the form Mathlib states
+it for a time-independent `C¹` vector field: the field admits an integral curve through any point,
+defined on an open interval about the initial instant. Applied to the phase-space vector field of
+the pendulum, which is smooth, this gives a curve `(θ, θ̇)` in the phase space through the initial
+data, and its first component is the required angle. Mathlib's curve is parametrised by `ℝ`, so it
+is pulled back to `Time` through `Time.toRealCLE`; its derivative is read off through
+`Time.deriv_comp_toRealCLE_of_hasDerivAt`, the converse of the bridge lemma
+`Time.hasDerivAt_comp_toRealCLE_symm`.
+
+The statement is local: at the times within `ε` of the initial instant, for some `ε > 0`, the
+angle and its velocity are differentiable and the equation of motion holds, and nothing is claimed
+about the curve outside that interval. The differentiability is part of the conclusion so that
+the equation of motion there is a statement about genuine derivatives, and not about the value
+`0` that `∂ₜ` assigns to a curve where it is not differentiable. Global existence, which the
+global Lipschitz bound of section A makes true, is not proved here.

+# Point particles
+
+This module defines point particles together with their motion relative to a
+reference frame. A `Particle` has a constant positive mass and a position over
+time. Velocity and acceleration are derived from that position rather than stored
+as independent data.
+
+The trajectory is part of the particle's description, but need not be given by an
+explicit solution formula. Particle values can be considered subject to conditions
+on their positions and on the forces acting on them. A particular mechanical model
+can therefore be specified by constraints on particles, with the existence of
+particles satisfying those constraints established separately.
+
+A particle by itself carries no equation of motion or assumption about which
+forces act on it. It is a constituent from which systems can be assembled, rather
+than a specification of an isolated or unconstrained one-particle system. Newton's
+laws are imposed when particles and forces are assembled in
+`ClassicalMechanics.PointParticle.NewtonianSystem`.
+
+Position and its first time derivative are required to be differentiable when the
+frame is inertial. This ensures that the velocity and acceleration used in
+Newtonian systems are genuine derivatives. The trajectories in this definition
+are defined for all `Time`.

+# Newtonian point-particle systems
+
+This module defines `NewtonianSystem`, consisting of an inertial reference frame, a finite
+collection of point particles, and the internal and external forces acting on
+them. Particles carry masses and positions over time; forces carry vector values
+over time and identify the particles they act on.
+
+Newton's second law requires the net force on each particle to equal its mass
+times its acceleration. Newton's third law requires the multiset of internal
+forces to be invariant under equal-and-opposite reversal.
+
+Particles and forces are stored in multisets. For example, if two identical springs
+connect the same pair of particles, the net force on either particle must count
+both spring forces, even though they are equal.
+
+Many classical systems are specified by constraints rather than explicit position
+and force functions. Such models can be formalized as conditions on `NewtonianSystem`
+values: which particles and forces are present, geometric constraints such as
+fixed distances, and restrictions on the forces such as centrality.
+
+Results can be proved for arbitrary systems satisfying these conditions. An
+existence proof establishes that a satisfying system exists for given parameters
+and initial conditions; choice can then be used to select one. Explicit formulas
+for the positions and forces are not required to state the conditions or to
+reason about systems satisfying them.

+Title: FLRW cosmology
+
+Overview: |
+    A Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime models a homogeneous
+    and isotropic universe. Its geometry is set by a scale factor a(t), a function
+    of cosmic time, together with the curvature of the spatial slices, which is
+    spherical, flat, or saddle. The expansion rate is the Hubble parameter
+    H = (∂ₜ a) / a, and the change of the expansion rate is measured by the
+    deceleration parameter q = -(∂ₜ ∂ₜ a) a / (∂ₜ a)^2. The dynamics is governed
+    by the Friedmann equations, which relate the scale factor to the energy
+    density and pressure of the cosmic fluid, the spatial curvature, and the
+    cosmological constant.
+
+    The formal content lives in FLRW/Basic.lean: the spatial geometry with its
+    metric profile function S and the flat limits of the spherical and saddle
+    cases, the first- and second-order Friedmann equations as propositions on a
+    scale factor, the Hubble parameter, and the deceleration parameter with the
+    relation ∂ₜ H = -H^2 (1 + q). The FLRW type itself is a placeholder; the file
+    records a TODO to replace it with a structure bundling a positive scale
+    factor and a spatial geometry. Six further modules, ConformalTime.lean,
+    DensityParameters.lean, Distances.lean, Dynamics.lean, MatterContent.lean and
+    Solutions.lean, contain only TODO items: conformal time and the conformal
+    Hubble factor, the critical density and density parameters, cosmological
+    distances and redshift, energy conditions and the Big-Bang singularity, the
+    matter content with its continuity equation and scaling laws, and the exact
+    de Sitter, radiation-dominated, Einstein-de Sitter, Milne and Einstein static
+    solutions. The requirements below record the two most basic of those open
+    items. Cosmology/Basic.lean is a placeholder module doc with no declarations.

+#### A.4.1. Differentiability of the derivative of the potential
+
+The derivatives `∂_ μ A x ν` of the potential are `C^n` if the potential is `C^{n+2}`.
+This is what is needed to make sense of second derivatives of the potential, as appear for
+example in Maxwell's equations. Differentiability for a `C^3` potential follows by `fun_prop`
+from these lemmas and `SpaceTime.differentiable_deriv`, so is not stated separately.
+
+A second derivative of a component can be written in two ways: as `∂_ μ (fun x => ∂_ ν A x ρ) x`,
+the derivative of the real-valued component `∂_ ν A x ρ` (the `_component` lemmas), or as
+`∂_ μ (∂_ ν A) x ρ`, the component of the derivative of the vector-valued `∂_ ν A`
+(the `_apply` lemmas). The two agree for a `C^2` potential by `SpaceTime.deriv_apply_eq`.
+
+The differentiability of the first-derivative components `∂_ μ A x ν` for a `C^2` (or
+`C^{n+1}`) potential is found by `fun_prop` directly, so only the smooth variants are stated.

+# Elementary rules for the gradient
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Mathlib defines the gradient `∇ f x` of a real-valued function on a real Hilbert space as the
+Riesz representative of its Fréchet derivative, but records no rules for the algebraic operations
+on `f` beyond constants. This file collects the elementary rules used throughout the classical
+mechanics of Physlib: a gradient is unchanged by adding a constant, it commutes with
+multiplication by a constant, the gradient of the quadratic form `⟪y, y⟫` is `2 • y`, and the
+gradient of a coordinate functional on Euclidean space is the corresponding basis vector.
+
+These are the rules needed to differentiate Lagrangians and Hamiltonians of the form
+`kinetic − potential` with respect to positions and velocities.
+
+These are rules for Mathlib's `gradient` on an abstract real Hilbert space. They are distinct from
+`Physlib.SpaceAndTime.Space.Derivatives.Grad`, whose `Space.grad` is a coordinate-valued operator on
+the structure `Space d`; nothing there applies to `EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)` or to a general inner
+product space. The file is deliberately real: two of its rules (`gradient_const_mul` and
+`gradient_inner_self`) are specific to real scalars, so the remaining ones are stated over
+`ℝ` as well.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `gradient_add_const` : `∇ (f + c) = ∇ f`.
+- `gradient_const_mul` : `∇ (c * f) = c • ∇ f` for differentiable `f`.
+- `gradient_inner_self` : `∇ (fun y => ⟪y, y⟫) x = 2 • x`.
+- `gradient_const_mul_inner_self` : `∇ (fun y => c * ⟪y, y⟫) x = (2 * c) • x`.
+- `gradient_coord` : `∇ (fun y => y i) x = EuclideanSpace.single i 1`.
+- `gradient_comp_coord` : `∇ (fun y => f (y i)) x = f' • EuclideanSpace.single i 1` when
+  `HasDerivAt f f' (x i)`.

+# One-parameter subgroups of real Banach algebras
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Let `E` be a real Banach algebra. This file proves that every continuous additive character
+`U : AddChar ℝ E` has the form `U(t) = exp (t • A)`, where `A = deriv U 0`.
+
+This is the Banach-algebra argument underlying the correspondence between norm-continuous unitary
+one-parameter groups and bounded self-adjoint generators. See
+`Physlib.Mathematics.OneParameterSubgroups.Unitary` for that correspondence.
+
+**Proof outline.** Continuity at zero implies that, for sufficiently small `d > 0`, the integral of
+`U` over `[0, d]` is close to `d • 1` and therefore invertible. If `I` is the indefinite integral of
+`U`, the homomorphism law gives `U(t) * I(d) = I(t + d) - I(t)`. This identity proves that `U` is
+differentiable. Setting `A` to the derivative at zero then gives the differential equation
+`U'(t) = U(t)A`. Consequently `U(t) * exp (-tA)` has zero derivative and is constant. Uniqueness
+follows by differentiating two exponential representations at zero.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+* `OneParameterSubgroup.apply_eq_exp_smul_deriv`: A continuous one-parameter subgroup is the
+  exponential of its derivative at zero.
+* `OneParameterSubgroup.generator_unique`: Any exponential generator equals the derivative at zero.

+# Unitary one-parameter groups
+
+A norm-continuous unitary one-parameter group on a complex Hilbert space has a unique bounded
+self-adjoint generator. With the convention used here, the group generated by `A` is
+`U(t) = exp (-itA)`.
+
+The same correspondence describes bounded generators of time translations, spatial translations,
+rotations, and other norm-continuous unitary one-parameter groups. The general theorem for strongly
+continuous groups and unbounded generators requires spectral theory that is not yet available in
+Physlib.
+
+## Main results
+
+* `UnitaryOneParameterGroup.generator`: The canonical bounded self-adjoint generator.
+* `UnitaryOneParameterGroup.apply_eq_exp_generator`: The formula `U(t) = exp (-itA)`.
+* `UnitaryOneParameterGroup.ofSelfAdjoint`: The group generated by a bounded self-adjoint operator.
+* `UnitaryOneParameterGroup.stoneEquiv`: Stone's correspondence for bounded generators.

+# The complete elliptic integral of the first kind
+
+This file may eventually be upstreamed to Mathlib.
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Legendre's complete elliptic integral of the first kind is, in the parameter convention,
+
+`K(m) = ∫ φ in 0..π/2, (1 - m sin² φ) ^ (-1/2)`
+
+(Abramowitz & Stegun 17.3.1). The physics literature more often uses the modulus convention and
+writes `K(k)`, as Landau & Lifshitz do, for what is here `completeEllipticK (k ^ 2)`; the two
+conventions are related by `m = k²`. Mathlib knows the Weierstrass elliptic function `℘`
+(`PeriodPair.weierstrassP`) but has no Legendre-form elliptic integrals; this file defines the
+complete integral of the first kind and develops its basic theory on the domain `m < 1`, where
+the radicand `1 - m sin² φ` is positive and the integrand continuous.
+
+The integral enters physics wherever a period or a potential is computed exactly rather than in a
+small-parameter expansion. Physlib's use of it so far is the simple pendulum: released from rest
+at amplitude `θ₀`, the pendulum has period `4 √(ℓ / g) K(sin² (θ₀ / 2))` (Landau & Lifshitz §11,
+Problem 1), the consumer being `Physlib.ClassicalMechanics.Pendulum.SimplePendulum.PeriodFormula`.
+More broadly, the complete integrals of the first and second kind give the magnetic field of a
+circular current loop and the potential of a uniformly charged ring, and the second kind, `E`,
+gives the arc length of an ellipse. This file defines `K` so that such results can be stated.
+
+For `m ≥ 1` the definition still elaborates, but its value is not Legendre's. At `m = 1` the
+integrand is `1 / cos φ`, which is not interval integrable on `[0, π/2]`, so the integral is `0`
+by `intervalIntegral.integral_undef`, whereas `K(1) = ∞`. For `m > 1` the radicand is negative on
+`(arcsin (1/√m), π/2]`, where the real power at exponent `-(1/2)` of a negative base vanishes
+(`Real.rpow_def_of_neg` supplies the factor `cos (-(1 / 2) * π) = 0`), so the Lean value is the
+finite positive integral over `[0, arcsin (1/√m)]`; by the reciprocal-modulus transformation this
+is `K(1/m) / √m`, the real part of the complex Legendre integral (DLMF §19.7(ii)) — not proved
+here. Every lemma of this file about a general parameter therefore carries its domain hypothesis
+`m < 1` explicitly.

+## A. Definition and the integrand
+
+The integral is defined for every real parameter `m`; on the domain `m < 1` the radicand is
+positive, so the integrand is continuous and interval integrable.

+/-- The complete elliptic integral of the first kind in the parameter convention,
+`K(m) = ∫ φ in 0..π/2, (1 - m sin² φ) ^ (-1/2)`. The physics literature often writes `K(k)`
+with `m = k²`. The integrand is written as a real power rather than `1 / √(…)` so that
+continuity, positivity and monotonicity in `m` come from the `rpow` API (`Continuous.rpow_const`,
+`Real.rpow_pos_of_pos`, `Real.rpow_le_rpow_of_nonpos`); the two forms agree by
+`Real.sqrt_eq_rpow` and `Real.rpow_neg`. For `m ≥ 1` see the module docstring. -/

+
+## C. Monotonicity and bounds in the parameter
+
+For fixed `φ` the radicand `1 - m sin² φ` decreases in `m`, so the integrand, a negative power of
+the radicand, increases in `m` on the domain; integrating the pointwise inequality over
+`[0, π/2]` gives monotonicity of `K`, and since the inequality is strict at `φ = π/2` the
+monotonicity is strict. Together with `K 0 = π / 2` this bounds `K` below on `[0, 1)`; bounding
+the radicand below by `1 - m` bounds `K` above by `π / 2 * (1 - m) ^ (-1/2)` there.

+## D. Continuity on the domain
+
+The integrand is jointly continuous in `(m, φ)` on `(-∞, 1) × ℝ`, where the radicand is
+positive, but not on all of `ℝ × ℝ`. Restricting the parameter to the subtype `Set.Iio 1` makes
+the joint continuity global, so Mathlib's continuity of a parametric interval integral with
+fixed endpoints (`intervalIntegral.continuous_parametric_intervalIntegral_of_continuous'`)
+applies and gives continuity of `K` on the domain. Continuity at each point `m < 1` follows,
+`(-∞, 1)` being a neighbourhood of `m`.

+# Strict bounds on the square of the sine
+
+This file may eventually be upstreamed to Mathlib.
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Mathlib bounds the square of the sine by `sin x ^ 2 ≤ 1` for every real `x` (`Real.sin_sq_le_one`),
+with equality exactly at the odd multiples of `π / 2`. This file records the strict form of that
+bound, `sin x ^ 2 < 1` on the open interval `|x| < π / 2`, where the cosine is positive and
+`1 - sin² x = cos² x`, together with its half-angle form `sin (θ / 2) ^ 2 < 1` for `|θ| < π`.
+
+Physlib uses the half-angle form for the simple pendulum: the parameter `sin² (θ₀ / 2)` of the
+period formula lies in the domain `m < 1` of the complete elliptic integral `Real.completeEllipticK`
+for every libration amplitude `|θ₀| < π`.

+# Energy eigenstates of the quantum harmonic oscillator
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The quantum harmonic oscillator in `d` dimensions is exactly solvable - the energy eigenvalues
+and eigenfunction can be computed analytically.
+
+The ground-state wavefunction is a normalized Gaussian with covariance controlled
+by the harmonic oscillator's characteristic lengths. A general state is then obtained by acting
+on the ground state with the raising operators and is labelled by `d` integer quantum numbers.
+Their wavefunctions are given by products of (physicist's) Hermite polynomials multiplying
+the ground-state Gaussian.
+
+When the potential is isotropic another description of the energy eigenstates is possible;
+energy eigenspaces carry SO(d) representations and eigenfunctions can be written in terms of
+hyperspherical harmonics. In such cases the energies only depend on the radial quantum number.

+Title: Operator algebra
+
+Overview: |
+    An observable of a quantum system is a self-adjoint operator on the Hilbert space of
+    states. The observables of interest are almost never defined on the whole space:
+    position multiplies a wavefunction by a coordinate and momentum differentiates it, and
+    both send square-integrable functions out of the space unless the wavefunction decays
+    or is smooth enough. The object to work with is therefore an operator defined on a
+    dense subspace, a partially defined linear map, together with the conditions that make
+    it a legitimate observable, namely a dense domain, symmetry of the inner-product
+    pairing on that domain, and self-adjointness, which is strictly stronger than symmetry
+    once the domain is a proper subspace.
+
+    This API builds that framework and then the standard observables of non-relativistic
+    quantum mechanics on `Space d`. Multiplication by a real function of position gives
+    the potential energy and, componentwise, the position operator; powers of the radius
+    give the multipliers used for central potentials. Differentiation gives the momentum
+    operator -iℏ∂ᵢ. The two do not commute, and the canonical commutation relation
+    [xᵢ, pⱼ] = iℏ δᵢⱼ is proved on Schwartz maps, alongside the commutators of the
+    angular momenta 𝐋ᵢⱼ = xᵢpⱼ - xⱼpᵢ, which close into the Lie algebra of rotations and
+    commute with 𝐋², with the momentum squared, and with every regularized power of the
+    radius.
+
+    The statistics of an observable T in a state ψ are the expectation value
+    ⟨T⟩ = re ⟪ψ, T ψ⟫, the variance ‖T ψ - ⟨T⟩ψ‖², and the standard deviation. The API
+    proves that the product of the standard deviations of two observables is bounded below
+    by half the size of the expected commutator, in both the Robertson and the
+    Robertson-Schrödinger forms.
+
+    The modules work with `LinearPMap` on any complex Hilbert space and are applied to
+    `SpaceDHilbertSpace d`. The spectrum, the resolvent, the numerical range and spectral
+    measures are in the spectral theory API. No module in the directory carries a proof
+    gap; the open items below are recorded as TODO entries in the source or are absent
+    from it.

+Title: Spectral theory of unbounded operators
+
+Overview: |
+    The measured values of an observable are the points of the spectrum of the operator
+    representing it, so the spectral theory of an unbounded operator is what connects the
+    formalism to an experiment. This API develops that theory for partially defined
+    operators on a complex Hilbert space: the resolvent and the resolvent set, the
+    spectrum with its point, residual and continuous parts, the regularity domain with the
+    deficiency subspace and the defect number, and the numerical range.
+
+    Two results carry the physical content. For a symmetric operator the numerical range
+    is real, so every point off the real axis is a point of regularity, and the defect
+    numbers at i and -i decide essential self-adjointness. For a self-adjoint operator the
+    resolvent set and the regularity domain coincide, the spectrum lies in the real axis
+    and the residual spectrum is empty, which is the statement that a measurement returns
+    a real number.
+
+    Spectral measures are defined here as projection-valued measures. The spectral theorem
+    that attaches one to each self-adjoint operator, and the functional calculus and time
+    evolution that follow from it, are open; nothing currently connects `SpectralMeasure`
+    to a self-adjoint operator. The algebraic theory of the operators themselves, and the
+    standard observables of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, are in the operator
+    algebra API.

+## i. Overview
+
+The Pöschl-Teller potential, `$V(x) \propto -\mathrm{sech}^2{(\kappa x)}$`, gives rise
+to a one-dimensional quantum system for which the energy eigenvalues, energy eigenstates and
+scattering data can be computed exactly. Notably, the potential is _reflectionless_ when
+the parameter controlling its depth is a positive integer.

+Title: Qubits
+
+Overview: |
+    The key data structure is `Qubit`, the two element type labelling the computational
+    basis of a two-level quantum system. The content specific to qubits is the standard
+    single-qubit gates, the controlled version of a unitary with a qubit as control
+    register, and the Bloch sphere with its angular parameterization. Qubit states are
+    not built separately: a pure state of a qubit is a ket on `Qubit`, defined for an
+    arbitrary finite index type in `QuantumInfo/States/Pure/Braket.lean`, and a general
+    state is a density matrix on `Qubit`. The ambient theory of a finite dimensional
+    system, in particular density matrices with their evolution, measurements and
+    distinguishability measures, is left to a separate API map. Two modules of the
+    source directory, `BlochSphere.lean` and `BargmannInvariant.lean`, are not
+    imported by `QuantumInfo.lean` and so are not built with the library; the two
+    requirements that point at them record that.

+# Coordinate-axis boosts in `SL(2,ℂ)` and the Lorentz group
+
+## i. Overview
+
+We define the axis-indexed lift `Lorentz.SL2C.boostAxis` in `SL(2,ℂ)` and its image
+`LorentzGroup.boostAxis` in the Lorentz group.
+
+The parameter `t ≠ 0` is multiplicative; replacing `t` by `t⁻¹` reverses the boost. For
+`t > 0`, its rapidity is `2 * log t`; negative values retain the action of the central
+element `-1 : SL(2,ℂ)`.
+
+For the `z`-axis, `LorentzGroup.boostAxis 2 t ht` agrees with the velocity-parameterized boost
+`LorentzGroup.boost 2 β` at `β = (t² - t⁻²) / (t² + t⁻²)`.
+
+The lift is Hermitian along every axis, and the `x`- and `y`-axis lifts are conjugates of
+the diagonal `z`-axis lift.
+
+The index `Sum.inl 0` is the time coordinate, while `Sum.inr 0`, `Sum.inr 1`, and
+`Sum.inr 2` are the `x`, `y`, and `z` coordinates. Accordingly, axis indices `0`, `1`, and
+`2` select the `x`-, `y`-, and `z`-axis boosts. The covering map uses the action
+`X ↦ M X Mᴴ` on self-adjoint matrices.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `Lorentz.SL2C.boostAxis` defines the axis-boost lifts.
+- `Lorentz.SL2C.boostAxis_inv` and `Lorentz.SL2C.boostAxis_conjTranspose` give their
+  inverses and Hermiticity.
+- `LorentzGroup.boostAxis` defines the induced Lorentz transformations, with entries given by
+  `LorentzGroup.boostAxis_apply`.
+- `Lorentz.SL2C.exists_conj_boostAxis` proves that every lift is conjugate to the `z`-boost.

 ## Contraction of indices of Pauli matrix.
 
-The main result of this file is `pauliMatrix_contract_pauliMatrix` which states that
-`η_{μν} σ^{μ α dot β} σ^{ν α' dot β'} = 2 ε^{αα'} ε^{dot β dot β'}`.
+The results in this file include contractions, anticommutators, and triple-product identities
+for the Pauli four-vectors.
 
 The current way this result is proved is by using tensor tree manipulations.
 There is likely a more direct path to this result.

+# Coordinate-axis rotations in `SL(2,ℂ)`
+
+This file defines chosen `SL(2,ℂ)` rotations carrying the `z`-axis to a selected coordinate axis.
+The spatial-axis convention is `0 = x`, `1 = y`, and `2 = z`; consequently, the rotation associated
+with axis `2` is the identity.
+
+Conjugation by these rotations transports a matrix written in the diagonal `z`-axis basis to
+the corresponding coordinate-axis basis. This provides the common change of basis used by
+coordinate-axis boosts and later constructions based on diagonal representatives.
+
+The main declarations are:
+
+- `rotationZToAxis`, the indexed family of rotations;
+- `rotationZToAxis_zero_apply` and its companions, their matrix entries;
+- `rotationZToAxis_zero_mul_diagonal_mul_inv` and its companions, their action on a
+  diagonal matrix.

-# Euclidean contraction identities for the Levi-Civita tensor
+# Contraction identities for the Levi-Civita tensor
 
 ## i. Overview
 
 This file proves the "epsilon-epsilon" contraction identities for the rank-four Levi-Civita
-tensor `leviCivita` (notation `ε4`) in `d = 3`, stated in terms of the standard-basis
+tensor `leviCivita` (notation `ε4`) in `d = 4`, stated in terms of the standard-basis
 components of `ε4` itself (`realLorentzTensor.leviCivita_basis_repr_apply`).
 
 The underlying facts about the `generalizedKroneckerDelta` alone, with no
-tensor content — lives in `Physlib.Mathematics.KroneckerDelta.Contraction`, next to the
+tensor content, live in `Physlib.Mathematics.KroneckerDelta.Contraction`, next to the
 definition of `generalizedKroneckerDelta`. Here we specialise those facts to the components of
 `ε4`, where `(ε4)_b = (Tensor.basis _).repr ε4 b` is the standard-basis component of `ε4`, an
 integer Levi-Civita symbol carried to the reals, and the sums run over the remaining
 (uncontracted) component slots.
 
+It also proves the Lorentzian tensor identities obtained by lowering all four indices of one
+factor: the complete contraction is `-24`, while contracting three index pairs gives `-6` times
+the unit tensor.
+
+The Lorentzian proofs proceed through reusable component statements: lowering all four indices
+contributes the orientation sign, tensor contractions become finite sums of matching components,
+and the Euclidean contraction theorems evaluate those sums.

+# Components of real Lorentz cross contractions
+
+## i. Overview
+
+This file gives the standard-basis component formula for `crossToEnd` on real Lorentz tensors.
+The contraction pairing of the standard covariant and contravariant bases reduces the generic
+component expansion to one finite sum.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `realLorentzTensor.crossToEnd_basis_repr_apply_eq_fin` expresses each component of a cross
+  contraction as a sum over the contracted Lorentz index.

+# Reference frames
+
+A point in space and a list of coordinates are different kinds of data. Assigning coordinates to a
+point requires an origin and a basis for measuring displacements from that origin. A
+`ReferenceFrame` records those choices at every time.
+
+This distinction is built into `Space d`, which is an affine space. Two points determine a
+displacement, but no point is automatically the zero point. The chosen origin therefore belongs to
+the frame, not to space itself. Similarly, a displacement has coordinate components only after a
+basis has been chosen.
+
+Real-valued coordinates in all frames use the same implicit units of space and time. Different
+reference frames represent different coordinate grids, not changes to this shared unit convention.
+`Time` already includes an implicit choice of time unit, origin, and orientation. With this common
+choice, `Time` is also the time coordinate in every frame and should be used directly in place of
+frame-relative time coordinates. A frame therefore carries no additional time origin or time basis.
+This convention applies to vector functions of time and all other time-dependent quantities.
+
+Most applications should use frames that are both inertial and orthonormal. In orthonormal frames,
+the norm and inner product of coordinate vectors are given by the familiar Euclidean formulas. The
+extra generality here also permits nonorthonormal coordinate grids. Giving every coordinate tuple
+the standard Euclidean norm and dot product, independently of its basis, would make coordinate
+transformations involving such a grid non-isometric: the same geometric displacement could acquire
+different lengths, or a pair of displacements a different angle, merely by changing frames. Instead,
+the metric on frame vectors is pulled back from geometric displacement space through the frame
+basis. The usual component formulas are recovered for orthonormal frames.

+## C. Vectors in a reference frame
+
+`frame.Vector` is the common coordinate carrier for vector quantities expressed relative to
+`frame`. It intentionally records the coordinate frame but not the physical dimension, so relative
+position, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, and similar quantities can use the same
+componentwise calculations. Their different physical roles, units, and transformation laws must be
+supplied by the surrounding definitions. When a vector represents a displacement, `dispEquiv`
+converts its coordinates into the corresponding geometric displacement at a given time.

+Title: Reference frame
+
+Overview: |
+    An observer describing motion needs a coordinate grid, and the grid is a
+    choice rather than a feature of space. Two points of space determine a
+    displacement, and a displacement acquires numerical components only once
+    axes have been picked. Space carries a zero point of its own, but an
+    observer is under no obligation to use it: which point the coordinates call
+    zero is part of the observer's choice. A reference frame is that pair of
+    choices, an origin and a set of axes, carried along through time.
+
+    An inertial frame is one whose grid is not being pushed around. Its axes are
+    the same at every time, and its origin drifts in a straight line at constant
+    speed, both measured against the affine structure that space itself
+    supplies. This is a restriction on the observer rather than on whatever is
+    being observed, and it is the setting in which the familiar Newtonian
+    statements about free motion hold.
+
+    A vector quantity measured by an observer, a relative position, a velocity,
+    an acceleration, a force, a momentum, is a list of components read off that
+    observer's axes. Such lists add and scale componentwise regardless of which
+    quantity they stand for, so they share one carrier here; the physical
+    dimension, units and transformation law belong to whatever definition
+    supplies the quantity. Lengths and angles are the exception, since they are
+    geometric facts about the displacement rather than about the numbers: they
+    are taken from the underlying space through the frame's axes, so that a grid
+    with skew or unequal axes cannot make the same physical displacement appear
+    to change length. When the axes are orthonormal this reduces to the familiar
+    Euclidean formulas, the sum of the squared components giving the squared
+    length and the sum of the componentwise products giving the inner product.

+curve `s ↦ f s -ᵥ f t`, which is `V`-valued, so that no origin of `P` is ever chosen. The

+## F. Derivatives of trajectories into `Space`
+
+For a trajectory `f : Time → Space d` of points in space, the torsor derivative `∂ₜᵥ f` is
+valued in the displacement space `EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d)`. Componentwise it agrees with the
+time derivatives of the coordinates, and under the identification of `Space d` with its
+displacement space given by the (arbitrary) zero point it recovers the vector space derivative
+`∂ₜ f`. The latter bridges `∂ₜᵥ` to the existing `∂ₜ` API.
+
+Note that `Space d` carries two `AddTorsor` instances: the intended one over
+`EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d)`, and one over itself coming from the module structure on `Space d`.
+Instance resolution selects the former, so `∂ₜᵥ` of a trajectory in `Space d` is valued in
+`EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d)` as intended.

+Title: Temperature
+
+Overview: |
+    Temperature here is measured from absolute zero and is taken to be
+    nonnegative: no scale used here places a state below absolute zero, which
+    excludes the negative absolute temperatures a system with a bounded energy
+    spectrum can carry. A choice of scale is a choice of how large one degree
+    is, and nothing more, so two such choices differ by a positive ratio, and
+    kelvin is the scale from which the others here are obtained by rescaling.
+
+    In statistical mechanics the quantity that actually appears is not the
+    temperature itself but its reciprocal, weighted by the Boltzmann constant:
+    the inverse temperature that multiplies an energy in a Boltzmann factor. On
+    positive temperatures the correspondence is a bijection onto the positive
+    inverse temperatures and reverses order, so a hot system is one with a small
+    inverse temperature; the boundary value zero is paired with itself, which is
+    a convention of the underlying nonnegative reals rather than a physical
+    statement. The limit of large inverse temperature is the one recorded here:
+    sending the inverse temperature to infinity drives the temperature to
+    absolute zero, the regime in which a system settles into its lowest energy
+    states.
+
+    Thermodynamic quantities are differentiated with respect to one or the other
+    of these variables, so the change of variable between them is smooth at
+    positive temperature, and a derivative in one variable determines the
+    derivative in the other.

+Title: Units
+
+Overview: |
+    Every physical quantity has a dimension: a rational power of each base dimension,
+    recording how the numerical value of the quantity changes when the unit of each base
+    quantity is changed. The LTMCT set has five base dimensions: length, time, mass,
+    charge and temperature, whose initials give the name; they are written L𝓭, T𝓭,
+    M𝓭, C𝓭 and Θ𝓭. Dimensions multiply by adding exponents and invert by negating
+    them, so they form a commutative group with a rational power operation. The
+    International System of Quantities (ISQ) uses a different set of seven base
+    quantities, in which electric charge is derived as current times time;
+    both sets are available and are related by a faithful inclusion and a reduction.
+    LTMCT is the set over which the typed unit layer (LTMCTUnitChoices and its SI choice)
+    and the named derived quantities are built; the ISQ set carries SIUnitChoices.
+
+    A unit system fixes one concrete unit for each base quantity. Changing from one system
+    to another multiplies a quantity of dimension d by a positive factor: the product,
+    over the base quantities, of the ratio of the two units raised to the exponent that d
+    assigns to that base quantity. That factor is multiplicative in the dimension, equals
+    one when the two systems agree, and composes along a chain, so the value of a quantity
+    in one system determines its value in every other. The statement is proved once for a
+    general set of base dimensions and specialises to the LTMCT set and to the ISQ set
+    without being restated.
+
+    A value carrying a dimension inherits the additive, order and scalar structure of its
+    underlying type, while products and quotients add and subtract the exponents. Area,
+    speed, energy, pressure and momentum appear as named dimensions with concrete units.
+    A statement is dimensionally correct when its truth does not depend on the unit system
+    in which it is written, which is the formal content of dimensional analysis; the API
+    expresses that condition for values, functions and propositions, and proves that the
+    derivative and the integral of a dimensionally correct quantity are again
+    dimensionally correct.

+# Reducible rational arithmetic for dimension exponents
+
+This module defines `Exponent`, a wrapper around the rational numbers whose arithmetic is
+reducible. This lets concrete arithmetic on dimension exponents hold by definitional equality.
+
+The corresponding rational operations are irreducible in Lean. Locally unsealing them does not
+export their reducibility to downstream modules, while globally changing the reducibility of an
+imported declaration requires `allowUnsafeReducibility`. The wrapper instead owns transparent
+operations while remaining equivalent to `ℚ`.
+
+The reducibility guarantee applies to the custom addition, subtraction, multiplication, inversion,
+and division below. Other operations supplied by the `Field` instance are transferred from `ℚ`.
+In particular, rational scalar multiplication and negative integer powers may require propositional
+reasoning rather than `rfl`.

 A recurring question is how to compare a quantity of dimension `length` with a

+# Derivations for an arbitrary bilinear multiplication
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A derivation is a purely *algebraic* notion: `D(a * b) = D(a) * b + a * D(b)`. No topology, no
+time, no continuity, no exponential — it is meaningful for a bare `NonUnitalNonAssocRing`. This is
+deliberately factored out of both the Jordan layer (`JordanOrderUnit/`) and any dynamical layer
+(`Dynamics/`): "derivation" is an algebra-axis concept, and the fact that the *generator* of a
+one-parameter automorphism group happens to be a derivation (`Dynamics/GeneratorIsDerivation.lean`)
+is a separate, genuinely analytic bridge theorem, not a definition.
+
+`E` here is left as general as possible: only `Add`, `Mul`, and enough linearity for `D` itself to
+be additive/`ℝ`-linear (`E →ₗ[ℝ] E`) are assumed. `IsCommJordan`, `NonUnitalNonAssocCommRing`, and
+every other structure this project puts on top of a bare multiplication are irrelevant to this
+file — a Jordan derivation (`D(a ∘ b) = D(a) ∘ b + a ∘ D(b)`) and an associative one are literally
+the same predicate, `IsDerivation`, instantiated at different `Mul E`.
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `IsDerivation`
+- `IsDerivation.zero`, `.add`, `.neg` : derivations form an additive group (stated pointwise; the
+  submodule structure is left for a future file if needed)

+# Statistics of a linear functional on a bilinear algebra
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Second moments and covariance use only a bilinear multiplication and a linear functional. They do
+not intrinsically require an order, positivity, associativity, commutativity, or the Jordan
+identity. This file defines them at that level so ordered Jordan algebras and self-adjoint parts of
+star algebras can share one canonical construction.
+
+For `omega : E ->_l[R] R`, the covariance is packaged as the bilinear form
+
+`(a, b) |-> omega (a * b) - omega a * omega b`.
+
+Commutativity of the product is used only to prove symmetry. A unit and the normalization
+`omega 1 = 1` are used only for centering identities. Positivity is deliberately left to the
+ordered specialization.

+# ⋆-automorphisms and their action on observables
+
+Reversible transformations of a quantum system act on its observable algebra by
+⋆-automorphisms `β : A ≃⋆ₐ[ℂ] A`, `a ↦ β a`. This is genuinely abstract-algebra-level content: it
+works for any `A` with enough structure to form `Observable A := selfAdjoint A`
+(`StarAlgebra/Observable.lean`) and the observable Lie bracket (`StarAlgebra/Lie.lean`) — no norm,
+completeness, order, or Hilbert space enters anywhere in this file.
+
+A ⋆-automorphism acts on observables (`StarAlgEquiv.observable`) compatibly with composition,
+inverses, and the Lie bracket (`StarAlgEquiv.observable_bracket`). A one-parameter group of such
+automorphisms (`AutomorphismGroup A`) can be reindexed by a change of coordinates `β`
+(`AutomorphismGroup.conj`). Both are just as algebra-level as the observable action above — neither
+mentions a norm or a Hilbert space — so they live here rather than at the Hilbert-space layer,
+where `HilbertSpace/Dynamics/Automorphism.lean` specializes `AutomorphismGroup (H →L[ℂ] H)` to
+unitarily-implemented dynamics and proves it satisfies (and uniquely solves) the Heisenberg
+equation.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `StarAlgEquiv.observable` : a ⋆-automorphism acting on observables, `a ↦ β a`.
+- `StarAlgEquiv.observable_bracket` : ⋆-automorphisms preserve the observable Lie bracket.
+- `AutomorphismGroup A` : a one-parameter group of ⋆-automorphisms of `A`.
+- `AutomorphismGroup.transport` : transport of a flow across a ⋆-isomorphism between algebras.
+- `AutomorphismGroup.IsIntertwining` : the commuting square for a ⋆-isomorphism and two flows.
+- `AutomorphismGroup.conj` : reindexing a flow `α` by a change of coordinates `β`,
+  `(conj β α) t = β ∘ (α t) ∘ β⁻¹`.
+- `StarAlgEquiv.observableUPLM` : the order-unit channel induced on self-adjoint observables.
+- `AutomorphismGroup.toObservableDynamics` : the same dynamics in the existing state/effect API.

+# Quantum channels between C⋆-algebras
+
+A quantum channel between C⋆-algebras is a *unital completely positive* (UCP) map: complete
+positivity, not mere positivity, is the physically correct notion at this level, since a channel
+must stay positive even after being applied to one half of a larger, entangled system — exactly
+what `CompletelyPositiveMap` (`A₁ →CP A₂`, matrix-amplified positivity) already captures. This
+sidesteps needing a tensor product of order-unit spaces (flagged as missing in
+`OrderUnit/Channel/Basic.lean`): matrix amplification tests positivity against every finite-rank
+bystander system without constructing a tensor product explicitly.
+
+A UCP map is automatically positive (`CompletelyPositiveMapClass` gives `OrderHomClass`), so
+`Channel A₁ A₂` restricts, on the self-adjoint parts, to the abstract order-unit-level notion
+already built (`OrderUnit/Channel/Basic.lean`'s `UnitalPositiveLinearMap`) — connecting the two is
+future work, needing the positive/negative part decomposition of a self-adjoint element.

+# Conjugation by a unitary is a symmetry of the self-adjoint part
+
+A symmetry of a quantum system is standardly modeled as `α_g(a) = U_g a U_g*` for `U` a unitary
+representation of a group `G`. This file builds the purely algebraic core of that statement: for a
+fixed unitary `u` of a unital C⋆-algebra `A`, conjugation `a ↦ u a u*` restricts to a genuine
+order-automorphism of `selfAdjoint A` (`OrderUnit/Symmetry.lean`'s `Symmetry`), and this assignment
+is a group homomorphism `unitary A →* Symmetry (selfAdjoint A)`. Composing with a homomorphism
+`U : G →* unitary A` — the algebraic shadow of a (strongly continuous, projective) unitary
+representation, minus any topology this layer does not carry — produces exactly such a homomorphism
+`G →* Symmetry (selfAdjoint A)`.
+
+Conjugation lands back in `selfAdjoint A` because `IsSelfAdjoint.conjugate` already gives
+`IsSelfAdjoint (z * x * star z)` for self-adjoint `x`; it is positive because `A` is a
+`StarOrderedRing` (`star_right_conjugate_nonneg`); it is unital because `u * star u = 1`
+(`Unitary.mul_star_self_of_mem`); and the two-sided inverse is conjugation by `star u` (equivalently
+`u⁻¹`, since `unitary A` is a group with `Inv := star`), because `u * star u = star u * u = 1`
+collapses `conjugationLinearMap u` composed with `conjugationLinearMap (star u)` (in either order)
+to the identity by pure associativity. None of this needs any topology or continuity hypothesis —
+this is purely algebraic content, independent of the "strongly continuous" qualifier that a genuine
+unitary representation would carry.

+# The Gelfand─Naimark─Segal (GNS) construction: the cyclic vector
+
+Every state produces a Hilbert space it did not start with. Given a state `ω` on a unital
+C⋆-algebra `A` — no Hilbert space assumed, no representation assumed, just a positive normalized
+linear functional (`ω : 𝓢[A]`, `OVERVIEW.md` §13) — the GNS construction recovers both: a Hilbert
+space `H_ω`, a `⋆`-representation `π_ω : A → B(H_ω)`, and inside `H_ω` a single unit vector `Ω_ω`
+that reproduces `ω` as a vector state of the representation,
+
+  `ω(a) = ⟪Ω_ω, π_ω(a) Ω_ω⟫`.
+
+`Ω_ω` is *cyclic*: applying every `a ∈ A` to it sweeps out a dense subspace of `H_ω`, so nothing in
+`H_ω` sits outside what `π_ω(A)` can reach starting from `Ω_ω`. This is the converse to §13's vector
+states `ω_ψ(x) = ⟪ψ, xψ⟫`: every state, not only the ones already handed a Hilbert space to live on,
+*is* a vector state — of the Hilbert space this construction builds for it out of `ω` alone.
+
+`Mathlib.Analysis.CStarAlgebra.GelfandNaimarkSegal` already builds `H_ω`
+(`PositiveLinearMap.GNS`) and `π_ω` (`PositiveLinearMap.gnsStarAlgHom`) from an arbitrary positive
+linear functional. Its docstring lists the missing cyclic vector as a `TODO`. This file supplies
+exactly that: `Ω_ω`
+is the image of `1 : A` inside `H_ω`, the defining identity above, cyclicity of `Ω_ω`, and
+faithfulness of `π_ω` when `ω` itself is a faithful state.

+# The canonical JB-algebra of self-adjoint Cstar elements
+
+## i. Overview
+
+This is the payoff of the whole `JordanOrderUnit`/`JB` layer: for any unital C⋆-algebra `A`,
+`selfAdjoint A` is a genuine JB-algebra, with the *physically normalized* Jordan product
+$$ a \circ b := \tfrac12 (ab + ba), $$
+matching the textbook convention exactly. The multiplication and real Jordan-algebra instances
+are inherited directly from `StarAlgebra/Jordan.lean`; this file adds only the genuinely
+C⋆-specific order and norm compatibility. The normalization is exactly what makes
+`quadRep a b = a b a` below come out on the nose, and what makes the Jordan square `a ∘ a` equal
+the *ordinary* square `a * a`, matching `moment`/`variance`'s physical meaning).
+
+The algebraic product is activated by `open scoped selfAdjoint`; the stronger order/JB instances
+remain scoped to `JB` so users can request the analytic structure separately.

+# Jordan compatibility of commuting self-adjoint elements
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The sanity check for `Compatibility.lean`'s Jordan-intrinsic notion: for `a`, `b` self-adjoint
+elements of a C⋆-algebra `A` that already commute in the ordinary associative sense (`ab = ba`),
+their multiplication operators for the *Jordan* product also commute — `a` and `b` are
+`IsJordanCompatible`. This is a genuine algebraic computation (not a restatement), using
+associativity of `A` and the hypothesis `ab = ba` directly, no linearized Jordan identity needed.
+
+Proof idea: writing `L_a x = ½(ax+xa)`, expand both `a ∘ (b ∘ x)` and `b ∘ (a ∘ x)` into the four
+terms `abx`, `axb`, `bxa`, `xba` (respectively `bax`, `bxa`, `axb`, `xab`), and check the two
+expansions agree termwise using `ab = ba` (which also gives `xba = xab`, `bax = abx`) — a pure
+associative-ring computation.

+# The Jordan decomposition of a self-adjoint element
+
+Every self-adjoint element `a` of a C⋆-algebra splits canonically as `a = a⁺ - a⁻`, a difference of
+two *orthogonal* positive elements (`a⁺ * a⁻ = 0`) — the noncommutative analogue of splitting a
+real-valued function into its positive and negative parts, or a signed measure into its positive
+and negative variation (Camille Jordan's decomposition theorem, 1881/1892). This is not the same
+"Jordan" as `StarAlgebra/Jordan.lean`'s Jordan *product* `a ∘ b := a * b + b * a` — that one is
+named for Pascual Jordan, no relation, and the shared name is an unfortunate but standard clash in
+the operator-algebra literature.
+
+Mathlib already builds `a⁺`, `a⁻` from the continuous functional calculus (`cfcₙ` applied to the
+functions `t ↦ max t 0` and `t ↦ max (-t) 0`) and proves the decomposition, orthogonality, and
+uniqueness facts at the level of a bare C⋆-algebra element. This file packages exactly those facts
+one level up, at the level of `Observable A := selfAdjoint A` and `PositiveObservable A`, so that
+"take the positive/negative part" is available as an operation *on observables*, landing in
+`PositiveObservable A` rather than requiring the caller to separately track self-adjointness and
+nonnegativity of a bare element of `A` after the fact.
+
+Genuinely needing a full C⋆-algebra here (rather than a bare order-unit space) is not a corner that
+was cut: the continuous functional calculus behind `a⁺`, `a⁻` needs completeness and the
+C⋆-identity to exist at all, so `[CStarAlgebra A] [PartialOrder A] [StarOrderedRing A]` is the
+correct, load-bearing hypothesis, not one to weaken.
+

+# Jordan positivity and decomposition in a Cstar algebra
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The exact cone theorem `a ≥ 0 ⟺ ∃ b, a = b²` and the decomposition
+`a = a₊ - a₋` with `a₊ ∘ a₋ = 0` are already available for the canonical realization:
+`CStarAlgebra/JordanDecomposition.lean` has `Observable.nonneg_iff_exists_observable_sq`,
+`Observable.posPart`/`Observable.negPart`, `Observable.posPart_sub_negPart`, and
+`Observable.posPart_mul_negPart`/`.negPart_mul_posPart` — using the *ordinary* associative square
+and product, since it predates the Jordan layer. This file is the two-line connection to
+the Jordan-native statements, using `mul_self_eq` from `CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` (the Jordan
+square of a single element is the ordinary square) and ordinary two-sided vanishing to obtain
+Jordan orthogonality.
+
+Square roots, `|a|`, and the CFC-based characterization `a ≥ 0 ⟺ σ(a) ⊆ [0,∞)` are not attempted
+here: their abstract versions require the single-observable JB functional calculus. They remain on
+that analytic path rather than being duplicated as realization-specific constructions.

+# Spectral formulas for Jordan moments
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`JB_ROADMAP.md` item 9 asks for the "headline milestone":
+$$ (J, \omega, a) \to C_J(a) \to C(\sigma(a), \mathbb R) \to \mu_{\omega,a}, \qquad
+   \omega(f(a)) = \int f \, d\mu_{\omega,a}. $$
+This file shows that milestone is *already reached* for the canonical realization
+`selfAdjoint A`: `CStarAlgebra/SpectralMeasure.lean` already built `μ_{ω,a}` and
+`realSpectralMeasure_integral` (`ω(f(a)) = ∫f dμ_{ω,a}`) via mathlib's own continuous functional
+calculus and Riesz–Markov–Kakutani — the C⋆-algebra `A` is already associative, so there was never
+a need to build `C_J(a)` from scratch there. What was missing is the *connection* to this file's
+own Jordan-algebraic `moment`/`variance` API (`Observable.lean`, `Covariance.lean`), which is
+defined via the Jordan powers `a^{[n]}` rather than ordinary powers `aⁿ`.
+
+The connection rests on one clean fact, `jpow_eq_pow`: for the *single* generator `a`, the
+Jordan power `a^{[n]}` equals the ordinary associative power `(a:A)ⁿ` — proved directly by
+induction from `mul_self_eq`, with **no use of the open `commute_mulLeft_pow` theorem**
+(`Power/Associative.lean`). That theorem is about *arbitrary* pairs of Jordan powers commuting as
+operators in a general Jordan algebra; here `a` only ever needs to commute with itself, which is
+free. This is worth remembering: the single-generator case that item 9 actually needs was never
+blocked on the general power-associativity theorem, only the roadmap's abstract, JB-algebra-generic
+route to it (`JB/GENERATED_SUBALGEBRA_ROADMAP.md`) was.

+# The self-adjoint part of a C⋆-algebra is an order-unit space
+
+`selfAdjoint A`, for a unital C⋆-algebra `A`, is the physically meaningful home for the whole
+`OrderUnit`/`Effect`/`Weight`/`Channel`/`Measurement` framework built on top of it: the algebra `A`
+itself is *not* an order-unit space in that sense, since `x ≤ n • 1` forces `x` self-adjoint
+(`StarOrderedRing.le_iff`), so only the self-adjoint elements can ever be compared to `1` at all.
+
+`1` bounds every self-adjoint element by `IsSelfAdjoint.le_algebraMap_norm_self`, giving
+`IsOrderUnit`. Archimedeanity is the one genuinely analytic fact: if `x ≤ ε • 1` for every `ε > 0`,
+then `x` is a limit of `ε • 1` as `ε → 0`, and `≤` is a closed relation
+(`OrderClosedTopology`, itself from the norm-closedness of the nonnegative cone,
+`isClosed_nonneg`), so the limit inequality `x ≤ 0` survives.

+# Projections in a C⋆-algebra
+
+A projection is an idempotent effect: an effect `p : Effect (selfAdjoint A)` whose underlying
+element satisfies `p * p = p`. This bundles `IsIdempotentElem.isSharp` (`SharpEffect.lean`) as a
+genuine type, in the same style `PVM := {μ : POVM Ω E // μ.IsPVM}` bundles sharpness of every
+effect a POVM assigns (`Representation/PVM.lean`) — a `Projection` is exactly the operator-level
+data that makes a single POVM outcome a genuine projection.
+
+Complementation and its involutivity are already available generically for *every* effect
+(`Effect.complement`, `Effect.complement_complement`, `OrderUnit/Effect/Basic.lean`); the only new
+ingredient needed to transport them to `Projection` is that the complement of an idempotent is
+again idempotent, which needs no C⋆-algebraic input at all and is already
+`IsIdempotentElem.one_sub` in Mathlib (`Algebra/Ring/Idempotent.lean`).
+
+The one fact that is genuinely new to this codebase — nothing else here computes a spectrum — is
+that the real spectrum of a projection lies in `{0, 1}`. This is exactly Mathlib's
+`isIdempotentElem_iff_spectrum_subset`, specialized to the self-adjoint continuous functional
+calculus that `selfAdjoint A` already carries for a C⋆-algebra `A`.

+# Idempotent effects in a C⋆-algebra are sharp
+
+A projection — an idempotent self-adjoint element `p` with `p * p = p` — is a sharp effect: it
+cannot be written as a nontrivial mixture of two *different* effects. This is the direction of
+`Effect.IsSharp` that matters for reading a projection-valued measure as a `PVM` (every projection
+it assigns is automatically sharp, `PVM.lean`); the converse (every sharp effect is a projection)
+needs a construction from the continuous functional calculus splitting a non-idempotent effect
+into a genuine mixture, and is not attempted here.
+
+The proof: write `b := 1 - p`. If `p = t • y₁ + s • y₂` for effects `y₁, y₂` and `t, s > 0`,
+`t + s = 1`, then conjugating by `b` kills the whole sum (`b * p * b = 0` since `b * p = 0`), and
+since conjugation by a self-adjoint element preserves nonnegativity, both `b * y₁ * b` and
+`b * y₂ * b` — being nonnegative terms summing to `0` — vanish individually. The C⋆-identity
+`‖z⋆z‖ = ‖z‖²`, applied to `z := √y₁ * b`, turns `b * y₁ * b = 0` into `y₁ * b = b * y₁ = 0`, i.e.
+`y₁` commutes with `p` and is fixed by conjugating it: `p * y₁ * p = y₁`. Since `y₁ ≤ 1`,
+conjugating by `p` then gives `y₁ ≤ p`; the same argument gives `y₂ ≤ p`, and averaging
+`p - y₁ ≥ 0`, `p - y₂ ≥ 0` back against the original mixture forces both to be exactly `0`.

+# The probability measure of an observable in a state
+
+A state `ω` and an observable `a` together fix a probability measure `μ_{ω,a}` on `ℝ`: the one
+against which integrating `f` gives `ω(f(a))`, so it's what you integrate against for `a`'s
+expectation, variance, or any other statistic in the preparation `ω`. `μ_{ω,a}` is supported on
+`a`'s spectrum and is the unique measure with this property.
+
+Restricting `ω` to the observables of the continuous functional calculus of `a`
+(`UnitalPositiveLinearMap.onObservables`, `Observable.lean`) turns `ω, a` into one positive,
+normalized functional on `C(σ_ℝ(a), ℝ)` — exactly the input to Riesz–Markov–Kakutani, which
+Mathlib already supplies. Pushing the result forward along `σ_ℝ(a) ↪ ℝ` gives `μ_{ω,a}`.
+
+This is the concrete payoff of the whole measurement layer built on top of `OrderUnit/`
+(`OVERVIEW.md` §9): `μ_{ω,a}` *is* the outcome distribution of measuring the single observable `a`
+in the preparation `ω`. The "Connection to the abstract measurement layer" section below makes
+this precise at every isolated point of `a`'s spectrum — a genuine eigenvalue with a spectral
+gap — where CFC already supplies the spectral projection needed to state it as a bona fide
+`Measurement`, matching `Measurement.outcomeDistribution` (`Measurement/Basic.lean`) exactly.
+Doing this at every Borel set at once, recovering `μ_{ω,a}` as a full
+`EffectValuedMeasure ℝ (selfAdjoint A)` (a PVM), would need a projection for every Borel set —
+the measurable functional calculus underlying the spectral theorem — which this codebase does not
+yet have; only continuous functional calculus (`cfc`, `cfcHom`) is available, and that reaches
+exactly the clopen (isolated-point) subsets of the spectrum and no further.

+## Connection to the abstract measurement layer
+
+An isolated point `x` of `a`'s spectrum — one for which `{x}` is clopen in the subspace topology,
+i.e. a genuine eigenvalue with a spectral gap around it — is exactly where continuous functional
+calculus already reaches: the indicator function of `{x}` is continuous there (clopen sets have
+continuous indicators, `IsClopen.continuous_indicator`), so CFC turns it into an honest spectral
+projection `eigenEffect`. Pairing that projection with its complement is a two-outcome
+`Measurement` (`Measurement/Basic.lean`) — "does `a` read out `x`, or not?" — and its outcome
+distribution in `ω` is exactly `μ_{ω,a}` evaluated at `{x}` and its complement
+(`eigenMeasurement_outcomeDistribution_true`): the abstract POVM layer's Born rule and the
+concrete spectral measure built above agree at every point either can see.
+
+What is not attempted: doing this simultaneously at every Borel subset of the spectrum, so that
+`x ↦ eigenEffect` extends to a full projection-valued `EffectValuedMeasure ℝ (selfAdjoint A)`
+agreeing with `realSpectralMeasure` on every Borel set (not just clopen singletons), needs a
+projection for every Borel set — the *measurable* functional calculus underlying the spectral
+theorem for self-adjoint operators. That is a substantially larger piece of infrastructure than
+continuous functional calculus, and this codebase does not have it yet.

+# Stinespring's dilation theorem
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `QuantumMechanics/Unbounded/OperatorAlgebra/Dynamics/
+Stinespring/Core.lean`, restated against this repo's own bare Mathlib hypotheses
+(`[CStarAlgebra A] [PartialOrder A] [StarOrderedRing A]`) instead of the upstream-superseded
+`OperatorAlgebra` class — see `Kernel.lean`'s docstring for why this is a pure restatement, not new
+mathematics.
+
+Stinespring's theorem is the general statement underlying every physical quantum operation: a
+completely positive map `J : A →CP (H →L[ℂ] H)` out of a C⋆-algebra always arises from coupling to
+a larger system and applying an ordinary `⋆`-representation. Concretely, it builds a Hilbert space
+`K`, a `⋆`-representation `π : A →⋆ₐ[ℂ] (K →L[ℂ] K)`, and an isometry-like embedding
+`V : H →L[ℂ] K` with
+
+  `J a = V⋆ π(a) V`      (`canonical_stinespring_identity`).
+
+This subsumes Naimark's dilation theorem as the commutative special case (a POVM is a CP map on
+the commutative algebra of bounded measurable functions; positivity there is automatically complete
+positivity, and indicator functions recover the projection-valued dilation from `π`).
+
+## Construction
+
+The construction is a vector-valued (operator-valued) generalization of the GNS construction,
+built on the algebraic tensor product `A ⊗[ℂ] H`:
+
+- `sesquiBilinear`/`tensorInner` : the (possibly degenerate) `B(H)`-valued-kernel-induced
+  sesquilinear form `⟪a ⊗ h, b ⊗ k⟫ := ⟪h, J(a⋆b) k⟫` on `A ⊗[ℂ] H`.
+- `tensorCore`/`tensorSeminormed`/`tensorInnerProductSpace` : the pre-Hilbert-space structure this
+  form induces (positivity is `Kernel.lean`'s CP-kernel positivity).
+- `leftMul`/`leftMulK` : left multiplication by `A` on the tensor product, shown contractive
+  (`leftMul_norm_le`) and hence extending to the completion.
+- `Canonical.K J` : the completion of `A ⊗[ℂ] H` under the kernel seminorm — the canonical
+  Stinespring dilation space.
+- `Canonical.canonicalRepresentation`, `Canonical.embedding` : the representation `π` and the
+  embedding `V : H →L[ℂ] K J`.
+- `Canonical.canonical_stinespring_identity` : the Stinespring identity itself.
+- `Canonical.canonicalWitness` : the identity packaged as a `StinespringWitness`.
+- `exists_stinespringWitness` : the dilation theorem, stated as an existence theorem.

+# The Stinespring witness and its finite-dimensional positivity kernel
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `QuantumMechanics/Unbounded/OperatorAlgebra/Dynamics/
+ChristensenEvans/P1.lean`, restated against this repo's own bare Mathlib hypotheses instead of the
+upstream-superseded `OperatorAlgebra` class (`[OperatorAlgebra A]` there is exactly
+`[CStarAlgebra A] [PartialOrder A] [StarOrderedRing A]` here — `OperatorAlgebra` adds no field or
+axiom beyond those three, so the translation is a pure restatement, not new mathematics).
+
+A completely positive map `J : A →CP (H →L[ℂ] H)` (Mathlib's own `CompletelyPositiveMap`, matrix-
+amplified positivity) is exactly a positive-definite `B(H)`-valued kernel on `A`: applying `J` to
+the Gram matrix of any finite family `a : Fin n → A` gives a positive block operator on the
+finite Hilbert sum `⊕ᵢ H`. This file builds that translation (`blockMatrixMap`, `gramMatrix`,
+`cpKernel_inner_nonneg_natural'`) and the `StinespringWitness` structure recording a concrete
+dilation `J a = V⋆ π(a) V`. `Dilation.lean` builds the canonical witness that always exists.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `blockMatrixMap` : a `CStarMatrix (Fin n) (Fin n) (H →L[ℂ] H)` acting block-by-block on the
+  finite Hilbert sum `PiLp 2 (Fin n → H)`, and its algebraic API (`_mul`, `_star`, `_one`, ...).
+- `gramMatrix`, `cpKernel_inner_nonneg_natural'` : the CP-map positivity kernel on finite families.
+- `StinespringWitness A H K J` : a concrete dilation of `J` — an auxiliary Hilbert space `K`, a
+  representation `π : A →⋆ₐ[ℂ] (K →L[ℂ] K)`, and an implementing operator `V : H →L[ℂ] K` with
+  `J a = V⋆ π(a) V`.
+- `completelyPositiveMap_map_star_general` : a CP map between C⋆-algebras is automatically
+  star-preserving.

+# Uncertainty relations
+
+Positivity of a state gives a Cauchy–Schwarz inequality for expectation values. Applied to
+centered observables, this yields the Robertson–Schrödinger and Robertson uncertainty relations.
+
+Unlike `StarAlgebra.Statistics`, this file genuinely needs a C⋆-algebra: `gns_cauchy_schwarz`, the
+seed of every inequality below, is Cauchy–Schwarz for the sesquilinear form `(x, y) ↦ ω(x⋆y)`, and
+the cleanest route to it is through the GNS Hilbert space `ω.GNS` of `CStarAlgebra.GNS` — the
+completion needs `CStarAlgebra A`, not just a bare star-ordered ring. We get it from the
+already-built `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.gnsRep`/`gnsCyclicVector` API (rather than reaching past
+`GNS.lean` into mathlib's raw `PreGNS` machinery) via the identity
+`⟪π_ω(x) Ω_ω, π_ω(y) Ω_ω⟫ = ω(x⋆y)`: expand the inner product using that `π_ω` is a
+⋆-representation and that `Ω_ω` reproduces `ω` (`inner_gnsCyclicVector_gnsRep_gnsCyclicVector`),
+then invoke the general Cauchy–Schwarz inequality `inner_mul_inner_self_le` on the Hilbert space
+`ω.GNS`.
+
+The commutator observable used to state the relations is the Lie bracket `⁅a, b⁆` already built in
+`StarAlgebra/Lie.lean`; the only fact about it needed here beyond what that file already proves is
+that centering leaves it unchanged (`bracket_centered`).
+
+## Main results
+
+- `gns_cauchy_schwarz` : Cauchy–Schwarz for the state-induced sesquilinear form on `A`.
+- `robertson_schrodinger` : the Robertson–Schrödinger uncertainty inequality, jointly bounding
+  covariance and the commutator's expectation by the product of the spreads.
+- `covariance_cauchy_schwarz`, `robertson` : the familiar `|correlation| ≤ σ_a σ_b` and
+  Heisenberg-type `|⟨⁅a,b⁆⟩| ≤ σ_a σ_b` relations obtained from it by dropping one term.

+# The infinitesimal generator of a one-parameter group
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A generator is analytic/dynamical, not algebraic: `D a := lim_{t→0} (α_t(a) - a)/t`, requiring a
+topology on `E` (here, a normed real vector space — enough to make sense of the limit) but *not*
+requiring `E` to carry any multiplication, order, or star structure at all. This is the deliberate
+converse emphasis of `Algebra/Derivation.lean`: derivation is pure algebra with no analysis;
+generator is pure analysis with no algebra. `GeneratorIsDerivation.lean` is the bridge connecting
+the two, once `E` happens to also carry a compatible multiplication.
+
+`IsGenerator` is phrased via `HasDerivAt` rather than `deriv` directly, which keeps every
+downstream theorem a clean implication (`differentiable ⇒ conclusion`) instead of needing to first
+discharge a `DifferentiableAt` side goal to unfold `deriv`.

+# The generator of a one-parameter automorphism group is a derivation
+
+## i. Overview
+
+**The bridge theorem.** Given a continuous (bounded) bilinear multiplication on a normed space
+`E`, and a one-parameter family `α : ℝ → E → E` that (a) fixes `0` at `t = 0` in the sense
+`α 0 = id`, and (b) preserves the product at every time (`α t (a * b) = α t a * α t b`), the
+generator of `α` — purely analytically defined, `Dynamics/Generator.lean` — automatically satisfies
+the Leibniz rule, hence is a derivation in the purely algebraic sense of `Algebra/Derivation.lean`:
+$$ D(a \circ b) = D(a) \circ b + a \circ D(b). $$
+
+This is deliberately proved at the most general level where the argument is legitimate: no order,
+no Jordan identity, no star structure, not even associativity or commutativity of `*` — only that
+`*` is `ℝ`-bilinear and *bounded* (`IsBoundedBilinearMap`), which is exactly what lets one
+differentiate `t ↦ α t a * α t b` via the product rule for bilinear maps
+(`IsBoundedBilinearMap.hasFDerivAt`) and read off the Leibniz rule from `α`'s multiplicativity. In
+particular `IsCommJordan` never appears in this file: it is one instance of the hypothesis
+`hmul`/`IsBoundedBilinearMap`, reached only by later composing this theorem with a JB-algebra's
+submultiplicativity axiom (`‖a ∘ b‖ ≤ ‖a‖‖b‖`, `JB/Basic.lean`) — see the module docstring's closing
+remark for exactly how that composition goes, deliberately *not* performed in this file.

+# One-parameter groups acting on a bare carrier
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The most primitive notion of time evolution is a group action `α : G → E → E`. This file
+specializes only the group to `G = (ℝ, +)` — nothing about *what `α` preserves* (linearity, order,
+a Jordan product, a `⋆`-structure, ...) and nothing about *continuity* belongs here. Those are
+independent axes:
+
+- structure preservation is a predicate about `α t` for each fixed `t` (see e.g.
+  `Algebra/Derivation.lean`'s companion notion for the infinitesimal picture, or state directly
+  `∀ t a b, α t (a * b) = α t a * α t b` at the point of use — no dedicated class is introduced here
+  since the right notion of "automorphism" depends on which structure `E` carries);
+- continuity, and the existence of a generator, is `Dynamics/Generator.lean`, requiring a topology
+  `E` need not have at all to be a one-parameter group in the sense below.
+
+This mirrors the point that an Archimedean order-unit space's topology (`OrderUnit/Norm.lean`) is
+not "AOU has dynamics" — it only supplies enough structure that a generic dynamical construction
+can later be instantiated there. Likewise here: `E` need not be an order-unit space, a Jordan
+algebra, or carry any topology for `IsOneParameterGroup` to be meaningful.

+# External library integration plan: Spectra and unbounded-alpha-public
+
+This document maps what exists in two external/sibling code bases against `AlgebraicFramework`'s
+own layered hierarchy (see `JordanOrderUnit/JB_ROADMAP.md` §1), states what is already covered
+here — much more of it than first assumed, see §2 — and assigns each genuinely reusable remaining
+piece to the layer it belongs at, always preferring the strongest/most general hypotheses actually
+needed rather than the source's own scoping. Superseded content is stated explicitly as superseded,
+not silently dropped, so this stays an accurate record rather than a wish list.
+
+Every claim below is from direct file reads (this session, both trees, both via `gh api` for
+Spectra and `Read`/`grep` for `unbounded-alpha-public`), not from names or descriptions alone.
+
+**Looking for the per-library file list?** §7 at the end of this document is a flat, one-table-per-
+library reference (file → verdict → port target) for all three sources read this session
+(`unbounded-alpha-public`, Spectra, `Cobord/JordanAlgebra`). Sections 2–4 below are the same
+findings organized by topic/gap instead of by source, with the full reasoning; §7 is the quick
+index into them.
+
+## 1. The layer question, answered once
+
+Per `JB_ROADMAP.md` §1's hierarchy:
+
+```text
+bilinear algebra → Jordan algebra → Jordan order-unit → normed/JB → JBW
+                                                                        \
+                                                          Cstar/Hilbert-space realization
+```
+
+A Hilbert-space projection-valued-measure/spectral-theorem/automorphism-group construction is
+**always** a realization-layer object, never an abstract-layer primitive. The abstract layers only
+ever get the generic order/Jordan-theoretic version (`MeasurableProjectionResolution`,
+`OneParameterAutomorphismGroup E`, etc.) — Hilbert-space-specific facts are corollaries applied to
+`selfAdjoint (H →L[ℂ] H)` or `H →L[ℂ] H`, never smuggled upward. Nothing below changes this; every
+recommendation respects it.
+
+## 2. Correction to the previous version of this document: far more is already superseded
+
+Direct comparison this session shows `AlgebraicFramework` has **already independently rebuilt**,
+at the correct and usually *more general* abstract level, almost everything `unbounded-alpha-public`
+has at the `Observables/`/`Dynamics/` layer, and almost everything Spectra/`unbounded-alpha-public`
+have for the unbounded self-adjoint spectral theorem itself. Concretely, file-by-file:
+
+| `unbounded-alpha-public` file | Content | Superseded by (this repo) | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `Observables/Jordan.lean` | `JordanObservable A`, symmetrized product `a⊙b`, on `[OperatorAlgebra A]` (old class) | `StarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` — same construction, on bare `[Ring A][StarRing A]`, no `OperatorAlgebra` wrapper needed | **Superseded, strictly more general here.** Do not port. |
+| `Observables/Lie.lean` | Lie bracket `⁅a,b⁆ = -(i/2)(ab-ba)` on `[OperatorAlgebra A]` | `StarAlgebra/Lie.lean` — same, on `[Ring A][StarRing A][Module ℂ A][StarModule ℂ A]` (verified minimal by a prior session, not just assumed) | **Superseded.** Do not port. |
+| `Dynamics/{Automorphism,AutomorphismGroup}.lean` | `AutomorphismGroup A` (one-parameter `*`-automorphism group) and `Aut⋆(B(H))≅PU(H)` (Wigner-type theorem), both on `[OperatorAlgebra A]`/concrete `B(H)` | `OrderUnit/Symmetry.lean`'s `OneParameterAutomorphismGroup E` (fully abstract, `[AddCommGroup E][PartialOrder E]`, no Cstar assumption — genuinely more general) for the abstract half; `HilbertSpace/Dynamics/Automorphism.lean`'s `ProjectiveUnitary H`/the `Aut⋆(H→L[ℂ]H) ≅ PU(H)` theorem (confirmed present, line 25/73/81) for the concrete half | **Superseded on both halves.** Do not port. |
+| `Core/AnalyticVector/{Basic,Local,Nelson}.lean` | Nelson's analytic-vector essential-self-adjointness criterion | `HilbertSpace/Unbounded/AnalyticVector/{Basic,Local,Nelson}.lean` (same file names, present, wired in) | **Already exists here independently.** Do not port; if genuinely absent details differ, diff the two directly before assuming either needs work. |
+| `Affil/SpectralTheorem.lean`, `Spec/Cayley*.lean`, `Spec/CayleySpectralData*.lean` | Unbounded self-adjoint spectral theorem via Cayley transform | `HilbertSpace/Unbounded/{Cayley,CayleySpectralData,SpectralIntegral}/*.lean`, public endpoint `unboundedSpectralTheorem` (1 `sorry` in the whole ~150-file tree, unrelated) | **Already exists here, independently built, with a stronger final package** (tied to the exact square-moment domain, not just a resolvent identity). Do not port. |
+| `Flow/{Stone,StoneAPI,StoneInvariance}.lean` | Stone's theorem | `HilbertSpace/Unbounded/Flow/{Stone,StoneAPI,StoneInvariance}.lean`, `Existence/{StoneGenerator,...}.lean` (same names, present) | **Already exists here.** Do not port. |
+
+**Conclusion of §2**: `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `OperatorAlgebra/` subtree was, at some point, the
+seed this repo's `HilbertSpace/Unbounded/` and `StarAlgebra/`/`OrderUnit/` trees grew from (or a
+parallel rebuild covering the same ground) — either way, it is now almost entirely redundant with
+what exists here, and usually strictly weaker (Cstar/`B(H)`-specific where this repo has the
+abstract order-unit version too). Only two pieces of real, non-redundant value remain, both below.
+
+## 3. Genuine remaining gaps — what to reuse, and at which exact layer
+
+### 3.1 `WStarAlgebra (B(H))` instance — realization layer, `WStarAlgebra/`
+
+**Status: the Hilbert–Schmidt/polar-decomposition prerequisite stack is now ported, and
+`HilbertSpace/TraceClass/Banach.lean` is fully sorry-free and wired into `PhyslibAlpha.lean`;
+`WStarAlgebra/HilbertSpaceInstance.lean` has 8 of its original 11 gaps closed, 3 remain (genuinely
+blocked on a further, separate density/approximation theorem), so it stays unwired per house
+style.**
+
+The missing Hilbert–Schmidt/polar-decomposition infrastructure — confirmed absent from Mathlib by
+exhaustive grep (no `Schatten`, `HilbertSchmidt`, or `PolarDecomposition` declaration anywhere) —
+is now ported as five new files under `HilbertSpace/TraceClass/`, restated directly against this
+repo's own predicate-based `IsTraceClass`/`H →L[ℂ] H` (no bundled-subtype translation was actually
+needed: `unbounded-alpha-public`'s own top-level `TraceClass.lean` already used the identical
+predicate convention this repo's `Basic.lean` does):
+
+* `HilbertSchmidt.lean` — the Hilbert–Schmidt predicate, its basis-independence and algebraic
+  closure (ported from `TraceClass/{HilbertSchmidt,HSAlgebra,HSEstimate}.lean`), plus the
+  Cauchy–Schwarz diagonal-summability estimates (ported from `TraceClass/TraceProduct.lean`).
+* `Polar.lean` — the polar factor `polarFactor T` and the general partial-isometry identity
+  `star (polarFactor T) * T = |T|` for *every* bounded `T` (ported from `TraceClass/Polar.lean`).
+* `GeneralIdeal.lean` — the unconditional (non-self-adjoint) basis-independent trace
+  `trace_eq_of_hilbertBasis`, crossing the boundary `Basic.lean`'s own self-adjoint-only theorem
+  left open (ported from `TraceClass/GeneralIdeal.lean`).
+* `GeneralProduct.lean` — the master lemma that a product of two Hilbert–Schmidt operators is
+  trace class, and its two consequences `isTraceClass_add`/`isTraceClass_mul_mul` (the general
+  two-sided ideal estimate) (ported from `TraceClass/GeneralProduct.lean`).
+* `IdealNorm.lean` — the quantitative duality bound and its consequences `traceNorm_add_le`
+  (subadditivity) and `traceNorm_mul_mul_le` (the quantitative two-sided ideal estimate) (ported
+  from `TraceClass/IdealNorm.lean`).
+
+Using this stack, `Banach.lean`'s three remaining gaps (`isTraceClass_add`, `traceNorm_add_le`,
+`instCompleteSpace`) are now closed — the last via the absolutely-convergent-series criterion,
+following `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/Completeness.lean` directly (ported inline into
+`Banach.lean` rather than as a separate file, since it only extends the `TraceClass H` Banach-space
+API already assembled there). `Banach.lean` is genuinely sorry-free and now wired into
+`PhyslibAlpha.lean`, along with the five new supporting files.
+
+`HilbertSpaceInstance.lean`'s five algebraic gaps (`isTraceClass_mul_coe`, `norm_trace_le`,
+`trace_add`, `trace_smul`, `traceNorm_mul_mul_le`) are direct specializations of the newly-ported
+general theorems, and the isometry half of `toDual` (`norm_tracePairing : ‖tracePairing A‖ = ‖A‖`)
+is now also closed, ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `WStarAlgebra/TracePairingNorm.lean`'s
+rank-one test-vector argument. **3 gaps remain**, all reducing to one genuinely separate analytic
+theorem not undertaken this pass: `rankOneSpan_dense` (every trace-class operator is a norm-limit
+of finite-rank operators, via Hilbert–Schmidt truncation — source: `WStarAlgebra/
+TracePairingSurj.lean`), which `tracePairing_surjective_of_rankOneSpan_dense` and hence
+`tracePairingEquiv`/`tracePairingEquiv_apply` and the final instance all depend on. This is a
+substantial, self-contained approximation theorem in its own right (not a short corollary of the
+infrastructure just ported) and is the correctly-scoped next slice. **Priority 1, continue as
+scoped**: prove `rankOneSpan_dense`, as its own dedicated piece of work.
+
+### 3.2 Naimark's dilation theorem — realization layer, `Representation/`
+
+**Status: in progress, paused mid-fix per explicit instruction.** `Representation/
+DiscreteNaimark.lean` (525 lines, 0 sorry, does not yet compile — 7 itemized mechanical Lean-API
+fixes remain, none structural). Correctly scoped and named as the *discrete/countable* case only
+(per the user's own correction: the general theorem is for an arbitrary measurable POVM
+`M : Σ → Eff(H)`, and the deepest frame is that Naimark is a corollary of **Stinespring dilation**
+applied to the commutative operator algebra of bounded measurable functions on the outcome space —
+commutativity makes positivity automatically complete positivity, so Stinespring's `Φ(f)=V*π(f)V`
+specializes via indicator functions to `M(A)=V*P(A)V`).
+
+**Stinespring dilation — DONE this session.** Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s
+`Unbounded/OperatorAlgebra/Dynamics/Stinespring/Core.lean` (the `QuantumMechanics/
+StinespringDilation.lean` file turned out to be an unrelated finite-dimensional `Matrix`/Kraus-
+operator treatment, entirely class-agnostic already but not the operator-algebraic theorem wanted
+here; not ported). The real content was built on the old `OperatorAlgebra` class (`[OperatorAlgebra
+A]`, `A →CP B(H)` via `OperatorAlgebra.Representation A H := A →⋆ₐ[ℂ] B(H)`), confirmed
+field-isomorphic to this repo's `[CStarAlgebra A] [PartialOrder A] [StarOrderedRing A]` — exactly
+the hypotheses this repo's own `CStarAlgebra/Channel.lean` already uses for Mathlib's own
+`CompletelyPositiveMap` (`A₁ →CP A₂`) — so the translation was a mechanical restatement, not new
+mathematics. New files: `CStarAlgebra/Stinespring/Kernel.lean` (the `blockMatrixMap`
+finite-block-operator API, the CP-kernel positivity chain `gramMatrix`/`cpKernel_inner_nonneg*`,
+and the `StinespringWitness A H K J` structure) and `CStarAlgebra/Stinespring/Dilation.lean` (the
+tensor-product GNS-style construction on `A ⊗[ℂ] H`, culminating in
+`Stinespring.Canonical.canonical_stinespring_identity : J a = V⋆ π(a) V` and the existence theorem
+`Stinespring.exists_stinespringWitness`). Generality matches the source exactly (arbitrary unital
+`A`, codomain fixed to `H →L[ℂ] H` — going further would need an abstract notion of `⋆`-
+representation into a general `WStarAlgebra`, real new math out of scope here). `lake build
+PhyslibAlpha` clean, 0 sorry/admit/new axiom, 0 warnings in the new files, wired into
+`PhyslibAlpha.lean`. This is the route to the fully general Naimark theorem (a POVM is a CP map on
+the commutative algebra of bounded measurable functions; positivity there is automatically complete
+positivity, and indicator functions recover the projection-valued dilation from `π`) — specializing
+`exists_stinespringWitness` to that commutative case is future work, kept separate from this task.
+`DiscreteNaimark.lean`'s 7 mechanical fixes remain **paused per direct instruction** (§6) and were
+not touched.
+
+### 3.3 Tomita–Takesaki modular theory + KMS — `WStarAlgebra/`, large, sequence later
+
+Unchanged from the previous version of this plan: absent from both trees entirely; Spectra's own
+`Modular/*` (~40 files) has the construction up to the modular operator/flow/conjugation/KMS
+condition, with the final commutation theorem (`JMJ=M'`) as Spectra's own acknowledged open
+research target. Belongs at the `WStarAlgebra/` layer (needs a predual + cyclic separating vector,
+same as `WStarAlgebraStructure`/`NormalState`). **Priority 3**, sequence after 3.1/3.2, scope as its
+own dedicated multi-file effort — do not start opportunistically.
+
+### 3.4 Essential spectrum + Weyl's theorem — DONE this session
+
+`HilbertSpace/Unbounded/EssentialSpectrum/{Defs,WeakCompact,Closed,Smul,Weyl,Discrete}.lean` — all
+six files build clean, 0 sorry/admit/axiom, restated against this repo's own `LinearPMap`/
+self-adjoint operator type (no second spectral-measure hierarchy introduced). One honest
+hypothesis-level gap (`IsResolventAt`, packaging "total + continuous resolvent" as a hypothesis
+pending a closed-graph-theorem bridge lemma this repo doesn't have yet) and one deliberately
+unported theorem (`Discrete.lean`'s hard half, which needs Spectra's own bespoke `ProjValMeasure`
+machinery to re-derive against this repo's spectral apparatus — left as a documentation-only file
+recording the exact bridge). **No further action needed here** beyond, eventually, building the
+resolvent-to-CLM bridge lemma (a well-scoped, independently useful item) to discharge `IsResolventAt`
+for real. Note: the earlier version of this plan's claim that `JordanOrderUnit/SpectralDecomposition.
+lean`'s `discreteSpectrum` names the motivating gap was **checked and found wrong this session** —
+no file or declaration by that name exists anywhere in this checkout; only this plan document's own
+prose mentioned it. Correcting the record here rather than repeating the error.
+
+## 4. `Cobord/JordanAlgebra` — investigated in full, and this is the real find
+
+`unbounded-alpha-public`'s old `Observables/Jordan.lean` carried a standing `TODO`: *"Investigate
+`https://github.com/Cobord/JordanAlgebra/` and determine which general Jordan-algebra results are
+relevant for quantum mechanics."* Read in full this session (`gh api`, all 19 `Jordan/*.lean` files,
+sorry/axiom-counted individually). Small (~4200 lines, 1 star, last pushed 2026-08-24, Lean
+`v4.31.0`), **essentially sorry-free — exactly ONE `sorry` in the entire library**, and unlike
+Spectra (zero Jordan-algebra content in 373 files, purely Cstar/Hilbert-space theory), this is a
+library specifically about abstract commutative Jordan algebras. It is directly on the critical
+path, not adjacent to it.
+
+### 4.1 It already proves McCrimmon's linearized fundamental formula — cross-check target
+
+`Jordan/JordanAlgebra.lean`'s `lmul_mul_mul_eq` (sorry-free, `[Invertible (2:R)]` on a bare
+`CommRing R`/`JordanAlgebra R M`, no real-number specificity):
+
+```text
+L((b*d)*c) = L(b*d)∘L(c) + L(c*d)∘L(b) + L(b*c)∘L(d) − L(b)∘L(c)∘L(d) − L(d)∘L(c)∘L(b)
+```
+
+proved via McCrimmon's two-stage linearization (`jax2_prime`, `jax2_double_prime`) of the bare
+Jordan identity — genuinely more general than this repo's `[NonAssocCommRing E][Module ℝ E]`
+setup (works over any commutative ring with `2` invertible) and reaches, in one file, essentially
+the same territory `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`'s `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize`/
+`quadRep_quadRep_eq` spent multiple sessions building toward from first principles. **Action**:
+cross-check this repo's own linearized identities against `lmul_mul_mul_eq` (do the two match up
+to notation, and does theirs shorten anything here?) before further from-scratch operator-
+normalization work in this file.
+
+### 4.2 It got stuck at the EXACT SAME theorem this repo just solved — worth reporting back
+
+`Jordan/JordanTriple.lean`'s only `sorry` is in the `JordanAlgebra ⟹ JordanTriple` instance's
+`triple_identity` field — **the same Jordan-triple-system fundamental identity**
+`tripleOperator_comm` proves in this repo (§ this session's `quadRep_fundamental` work). Cobord's
+own approach is term-cancellation search (`find_cancel.py`, reducing to "40 raw multiplication
+terms" needing explicit `jordan_mul_comm` rewrites), left stuck and sorry'd with a detailed TODO.
+This repo's derivation-operator route (`D_{a,b}:=[L_a,L_b]` is a genuine Jordan-product derivation,
+`V_{a,b}:=L_{a*b}+D_{a,b}`, `[V_{a,b},V_{c,d}]=V_{\{a,b,c\},d}-V_{c,\{b,a,d\}}`) closed it cleanly.
+**This is worth turning into an actual upstream contribution** — closing Cobord's one remaining
+`sorry` with this repo's own already-proved technique, translated to their bare-`CommRing`
+generality, is a small, concrete, high-goodwill open-source contribution and a genuine correctness
+cross-check of this repo's own proof. Not urgent, but flag it as a live option.
+
+### 4.3 `StructureAlgebra.lean` — the textbook version of this session's `innerDerivation`/`tripleOperator`
+
+`JordanDerivation R M` (`R`-linear, Leibniz rule `D(a*b)=a*D(b)+D(a)*b`), `inner` (the inner
+derivation constructor — **matches this repo's `innerDerivation` field-for-field**, `leibniz`
+matches `innerDerivation_mul`), the commutator Lie algebra on derivations (matches
+`innerDerivation_comm`), and `StructureAlgebra R M := M × JordanDerivation R M` (**exactly**
+`V_{a,b} := L_{a*b} + D_{a,b}`, packaged as `Jacobson`/`Meyberg`'s classical "structure algebra" of
+a Jordan algebra, its own Lie algebra via `toEnd`). All sorry-free. This is strong independent
+confirmation that this session's from-scratch `innerDerivation`/`tripleOperator` construction is
+not an ad-hoc trick but the standard textbook object (the structure algebra) — worth citing by that
+name in `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`'s docstrings, and worth reading this file directly before any
+further structure-algebra-adjacent work here (Peirce theory, generated subalgebras) to reuse its
+naming/lemma shape rather than re-deriving.
+
+### 4.4 `AlbertAlgebra.lean` + `SpinFactor.lean` — the missing non-special concrete instances
+
+Both fully sorry/axiom-free (890 and 276 lines). `AlbertAlgebra` (3×3 Hermitian octonionic
+matrices, via `hermitian_jordan_identity`'s fully generic `H₃(D,-)` construction for any `D` with
+`[IsAlternative D][StarRing D][IsNuclearInvolution D]`) and `SpinFactor` (`V × R` from a symmetric
+bilinear form) are, respectively, **the** exceptional simple JB algebra and **the** other classical
+non-matrix simple JB algebra family — genuinely NOT special (no faithful embedding into any
+associative/Cstar algebra exists for the Albert algebra). `AlgebraicFramework`'s only concrete
+instances today are all Cstar-based (`selfAdjoint A`) — i.e. all *special*. Getting even one
+genuinely exceptional instance (`AlbertAlgebra`) to satisfy `IsJordanOrderUnit`/`JBAlgebra` would be
+the strongest possible validation that this repo's abstract layer is not secretly just disguised
+C\*-algebra theory, and both already have `isFormallyReal`/`detTrace` (trace/determinant, state
+cone) built — directly comparable to `IsJordanOrderUnit`'s own positivity axiom. **High-value,
+self-contained future task**: instantiate `AlbertAlgebra`/`SpinFactor` against
+`JordanOrderUnit`'s abstract classes and see how far the existing abstract theorems (Stage A's now-
+complete fundamental formula, Stage C.2's root uniqueness) carry over immediately for free.
+
+### 4.5 `FormallyReal.lean` — cross-check for the abstract state/order theory
+
+`IsFormallyReal`, `states`/`pureStates` (the cone of squares cut by `trace x = 1`, and its
+idempotent extreme points), `expect` (linear expectation-value functional) — parallels this repo's
+own `IsJordanOrderUnit`/state-cone/effect theory closely enough to be worth a direct side-by-side
+read before extending `OrderUnit/State/*` further, as a second independent formulation to check
+against (not a port target by itself — the content is comparable in scope to what's already here,
+not larger).
+
+### 4.6 What NOT to take from Cobord
+
+`Octonion.lean`/`OctonionMatrix.lean`/`MatrixAssociator.lean`/`NuclearInvolution.lean`/
+`HermitianMatrixAssociator.lean`/`MooreDeterminant.lean` are load-bearing *infrastructure* for
+`AlbertAlgebra.lean` (§4.4) but not independently interesting for `AlgebraicFramework` — port them
+only as part of porting `AlbertAlgebra` itself, not standalone. `Alternative.lean`,
+`RealQM.lean`/`ComplexQM.lean`/`QuaternionicQM.lean` (the non-exceptional Hermitian-matrix Jordan
+algebras) are lower priority than `AlbertAlgebra`/`SpinFactor` — special Jordan algebras this
+repo's Cstar-realization branch already covers in substance via `selfAdjoint A`. `CommNonAssocNF.lean`
+is design notes only, no code.
+
+## 5. What NOT to reuse (unchanged, reaffirmed)
+
+- Spectra's `ProjValMeasure`/`POVM` bespoke wrapper types, or `unbounded-alpha-public`'s
+  `OperatorAlgebra`/`OperatorAlgebra.WStarAlgebra` classes themselves (upstream-superseded, PR
+  #1622) — only proof *content* built on them is ever reused, restated against this repo's own
+  types/classes.
+- Spectra's Hydrogen atom / Dirac equation / Bell inequalities / Fock & Krein spaces /
+  **information geometry, Bochner/Herglotz/positive-definite-function theory, Fenchel–Legendre
+  convex analysis** (read this session: `InformationGeometry/{CramerRao,Divergence,Fisher}/*`,
+  `Bochner/GNS/PosDefFun.lean`, `Herglotz/Basic.lean`, `PositiveDefinite/Basic.lean`,
+  `Analysis/Convex/Fenchel/Conjugate.lean` — all genuine, well-written mathematics, but targeting
+  statistical-manifold/DFT physics, orthogonal to `AlgebraicFramework`'s Jordan/order-unit/JB/JBW
+  scope). Not part of this plan.
+- A full branch merge of `unbounded-alpha-public` — confirmed low mechanical-conflict-risk (3
+  shared files) but genuinely low-value now that §2 shows almost everything worth taking is either
+  already superseded or covered by the two targeted items in §3.1/3.2.
+
+## 6. Priority order — re-ranked by what enables general QM theorems, not by abstract-algebra novelty
+
+The governing question for this section is: what unlocks a genuinely general quantum-mechanical
+theorem, not what is the most mathematically interesting abstract-algebra fact available. Re-ranked
+accordingly (an earlier version of this section got this backwards — corrected here):
+
+1. **Finish `WStarAlgebra(B(H))`** (§3.1) — the actual QM-enabling item. Without a predual there is
+   no abstract notion of a normal state / general (infinite-dimensional) mixed quantum state, no
+   density-operator description at the right level of generality. **16 of the original 19 named
+   sorries are now closed** (`Banach.lean` fully sorry-free and wired in; `HilbertSpaceInstance.lean`
+   8/11 closed). The remaining 3 all reduce to one substantial standalone theorem,
+   `rankOneSpan_dense` (Hilbert–Schmidt truncation/density), the correctly-scoped next slice.
+2. **Port Stinespring dilation** from `unbounded-alpha-public` (§3.2) — **done this session**
+   (`CStarAlgebra/Stinespring/{Kernel,Dilation}.lean`). The general theorem that every physical
+   quantum operation (channel, measurement, decoherence process) arises from coupling to a larger
+   system and ordinary unitary dynamics. This is the actual general QM theorem worth having; it
+   subsumes Naimark's theorem as the commutative special case, so it supersedes rather than depends
+   on the discrete-Naimark work below. Specializing it to the commutative case to recover general
+   Naimark is the natural next step, scoped as its own future task.
+3. **Tomita–Takesaki/KMS** (§3.3) — large, but this is real physics generality: the general
+   framework for thermal/equilibrium quantum states and algebraic QFT. Sequence after 1–2, scope as
+   its own dedicated effort.
+
+**Explicitly paused, not "to finish," per direct instruction**: `DiscreteNaimark.lean`'s 7
+mechanical compile fixes (§3.2a). The user stopped this work mid-fix and it should not be resumed
+without being asked — the general Stinespring route (item 2 above) is the actual priority and
+subsumes it; do not schedule the discrete case as upcoming work.
+
+**Explicitly deprioritized, not urgent**: `AlbertAlgebra`/`SpinFactor` instantiation (§4.4) and the
+Cobord cross-checks (§4.1, §4.2) — genuinely interesting for validating the abstract layer's
+generality in the pure-mathematics sense, but not something enabling a QM theorem anyone needs
+right now. Revisit later, not as current work. `StructureAlgebra.lean` (§4.3) and
+`FormallyReal.lean` (§4.5) remain worth reading as background before touching `Quadratic/`- or
+`OrderUnit/State/*`-adjacent code respectively, but are not standalone tasks.
+
+Essential spectrum + Weyl (§3.4) is done — this is also a genuine physics-enabling item (real
+Hamiltonians with continuous spectrum, not just toy finite-dimensional ones), already delivered.
+

+# Automorphisms of the bounded operators
+
+For a complex Hilbert space `H`, every ⋆-automorphism of `H →L[ℂ] H` is implemented by
+unitary conjugation:
+  `A ↦ U A U⋆`.
+
+Two unitaries implement the same transformation exactly when they differ by a
+scalar phase. Consequently,
+  `Aut⋆(H →L[ℂ] H) ≅ U(H) / U(1) ≅ PU(H)`,
+the projective unitary group.
+
+For Hamiltonian dynamics, this projective ambiguity corresponds to
+the freedom to shift a Hamiltonian by a scalar multiple of the identity.
+
+A norm-continuous unitary one-parameter group `U` also acts on `H →L[ℂ] H` by conjugation,
+`αₜ(a) = U(t) a U(t)⋆`, an `AutomorphismGroup (H →L[ℂ] H)`; this action satisfies (and is the
+unique solution of) the Heisenberg-type equation `d/dt αₜ(a) = ⁅αₜ(a), i • generator⁆`, where this
+bracket is the plain ring commutator on `H →L[ℂ] H` (`Ring.instBracket`/
+`LieRing.of_associative_ring_bracket`), not the `-(i/2)`-normalized observable bracket of
+`StarAlgebra/Lie.lean` — the flow here is not restricted to self-adjoint elements, so that bracket
+does not apply. Hamiltonian dynamics specializes this construction to `unitaryEvolution ℏ H`.
+
+`AutomorphismGroup` itself and its conjugation action (`AutomorphismGroup.conj`) are genuinely
+algebra-level, not Hilbert-space-specific, and live in `CStarAlgebra/Automorphism.lean`; this file
+only adds the Hilbert-space content — that every ⋆-automorphism of `H →L[ℂ] H` comes from a unitary,
+the classification up to scalar phase, and the differential (Heisenberg) characterization of the
+flow generated by a `UnitaryOneParameterGroup`.

+# The trace-class Banach space `𝒮₁(H)`
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s
+`QuantumMechanics/Unbounded/OperatorAlgebra/TraceClass/Space.lean`, adapted to this repo's
+predicate-based `IsTraceClass`/`traceNorm`/`trace` (`HilbertSpace/TraceClass/Basic.lean`) rather
+than the source's own bundled `TraceClass H` subtype (which lived in a *different*, non-predicate
+`IsTraceClass` universe with its own general-product/ideal-norm theory built up over ~150KB across
+17 files: `GeneralProduct.lean`, `IdealNorm.lean`, `PositiveIdeal.lean`, `HilbertSchmidt.lean`,
+`Polar.lean`, `TraceAlgebra.lean`, etc.). This file re-bundles this repo's own `IsTraceClass`
+predicate into the same kind of submodule/Banach-space package the source built, but the *proofs*
+of the arithmetic closure facts that package needs (trace-class is closed under `+`, the trace norm
+is subadditive, scalar multiplication scales it exactly, completeness) are **not** re-derived here:
+they are exactly the "genuinely harder work" this repo's own `Basic.lean` docstring says it leaves
+to "the later trace-class Banach space phase" (see `Basic.lean`'s own module doc, third paragraph
+under "Relationship to `HilbertSpace/Trace.lean`"). This file is the promised later phase, but
+lands with those specific gaps still open rather than silently invoking them.
+
+## What closes the arithmetic-closure gaps
+
+**Fully sorry-free.** The Hilbert–Schmidt/polar-decomposition prerequisite stack
+(`HilbertSpace/TraceClass/{HilbertSchmidt,Polar,GeneralIdeal,GeneralProduct,IdealNorm}.lean`,
+restating `unbounded-alpha-public`'s
+`TraceClass/{HilbertSchmidt,HSAlgebra,HSEstimate,Polar,GeneralIdeal,GeneralProduct,IdealNorm,
+Completeness}.lean` directly against this repo's own `H →L[ℂ] H`/predicate-based `IsTraceClass` —
+no bundled-subtype translation was needed, since the source's own top-level `TraceClass.lean`
+already used the identical predicate convention this repo's `Basic.lean` does) supplies:
+
+* `isTraceClass_add` / `traceNorm_add_le` — from `GeneralProduct.isTraceClass_add` and
+  `IdealNorm.traceNorm_add_le`, both built on the master lemma that a product of two
+  Hilbert–Schmidt operators is trace class (`GeneralProduct.isTraceClass_mul_of_isHilbertSchmidt`),
+  itself resting on the general partial-isometry identity `Polar.star_polarFactor_mul_self : star
+  (polarFactor T) * T = |T|` (valid for *every* bounded `T`, not just self-adjoint ones).
+* `instCompleteSpace` — via the absolutely-convergent-series criterion
+  (`NormedAddCommGroup.completeSpace_of_summable_imp_tendsto`), following
+  `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `Completeness.lean` directly: partial sums of an absolutely convergent
+  series are Cauchy in operator norm (operator norm ≤ trace norm, `opNorm_le_traceNorm`), hence
+  converge in `H →L[ℂ] H`; the auxiliary lower-semicontinuity lemma
+  `isTraceClass_of_tendsto_of_traceNorm_bounded` identifies the limit as trace class with a
+  quantitative trace-norm bound, applied twice (once to the whole sequence, once to each shifted
+  tail) to get the tail bound that is exactly trace-norm convergence.
+
+`isTraceClass_smul`/`traceNorm_smul` follow from Mathlib's `CFC.abs_smul`, and `opNorm_le_traceNorm`
+is the elementary "operator norm ≤ Hilbert–Schmidt norm" argument, using `Basic.lean`'s Parseval
+lemma `hasSum_norm_sq_inner_basis`.

+# Trace-class operators
+
+For `T : H →L[ℂ] H` on a complex Hilbert space `H`, `|T| := CFC.abs T = √(T⋆T)` (Mathlib's
+continuous functional calculus absolute value). `T` is **trace class** if `∑ᵢ ⟪eᵢ, |T| eᵢ⟫`
+converges for some Hilbert basis `{eᵢ}`; the **trace norm** `‖T‖₁` is that sum, and the **trace**
+`Tr T := ∑ᵢ ⟪eᵢ, T eᵢ⟫` (which converges whenever the trace norm does, via Cauchy–Schwarz). The
+Hilbert basis is quantified over `w : Set H` rather than an arbitrary index type `Type*` (matching
+Mathlib's own `exists_hilbertBasis`, which produces exactly such a `w`) — every Hilbert space has
+a basis indexed this way, so nothing is lost, and it keeps every index type in `H`'s own universe
+rather than introducing a genuinely polymorphic (and, for a bare `Prop`-valued `def`, awkward)
+universe parameter.
+
+## Relationship to `HilbertSpace/Trace.lean`
+
+`Trace.lean`'s `ContinuousLinearMap.traceₚ` is the ordinary linear-algebra trace
+(`LinearMap.trace ℂ H T.toLinearMap`), bundled as a positive linear map: it is defined on *every*
+`T : H →L[ℂ] H`, but is only the actual trace when `H` is finite-dimensional (`LinearMap.trace` is
+`0` by convention outside that case, via `Module.finrank`-based junk value machinery upstream in
+Mathlib — nothing in `traceₚ` needs or uses that convention explicitly). `IsTraceClass`/`trace`
+here are the general infinite-dimensional notion: which *bounded* operators have a well-defined
+trace via a convergent diagonal sum, before knowing anything about positivity or finite rank.
+`trace_eq_sum_inner_hilbertBasis_of_finiteDimensional` below is the connecting fact: in finite
+dimension, `LinearMap.trace ℂ H T.toLinearMap` — i.e. `traceₚ T` — agrees with the diagonal sum in
+any Hilbert basis, and `HasFiniteMultiplicity.trace_eq_finrank_range_of_finiteDimensional` uses
+this explicitly to reduce the finite-dimensional case of the new `trace` to the old one. No general
+(infinite-dimensional) theorem "`traceₚ` agrees with `trace` whenever both are defined" is proved
+here: `traceₚ` has no trace-class hypothesis to begin with (it is total, using `LinearMap.trace`'s
+own junk-value convention outside finite dimension), so such a theorem would need to first isolate
+exactly when the *linear-algebra* trace of an infinite-dimensional operator happens to coincide
+with its analytic trace-class trace — genuine, unattempted work, not forced here.
+
+Genuinely well-defined trace-class theory needs one famous, hard fact:
+
+> the value of `∑ᵢ ⟪eᵢ, |T| eᵢ⟫` (hence trace-class-ness itself, and the value of the trace) does
+> not depend on the choice of Hilbert basis `{eᵢ}`.
+
+The positive/self-adjoint part is proved below (`summable_inner_abs_of_hilbertBasis`) directly
+from Mathlib's `HilbertBasis` API — **not** via the unbounded spectral theorem. The route is the
+standard Hilbert–Schmidt double-sum/Fubini argument: for a self-adjoint `S`, write
+`⟪eᵢ, S eᵢ⟫ = ‖√S eᵢ‖²` (continuous functional calculus square root), expand `‖√S eᵢ‖²` via
+Parseval against a *second* basis `{fⱼ}`, and swap the resulting (unconditionally
+Fubini-swappable, since all terms are nonnegative and the outer sum is controlled by the
+trace-class hypothesis) double sum `∑ᵢ∑ⱼ = ∑ⱼ∑ᵢ`. `|T| = CFC.abs T` is always self-adjoint, so
+this handles `summable_inner_abs_of_hilbertBasis` in full generality. For `trace_eq_of_hilbertBasis`
+the positive case is now proved by the same square-root/Parseval argument
+(`trace_eq_of_hilbertBasis_of_nonneg`), and the self-adjoint case is obtained by decomposing into
+positive and negative parts (`trace_eq_of_hilbertBasis_of_isSelfAdjoint`). The general
+non-self-adjoint case would go through
+the polar decomposition `T = U|T|` instead, and packaging the trace-class operators themselves as
+a Banach space `TraceClass H` is separate, genuinely harder work; neither is attempted here.

+Basis-independent trace for positive trace-class operators.
+
+For a positive operator the absolute value is the operator itself.  Taking its continuous-
+functional-calculus square root turns every diagonal coefficient into a squared norm, so the
+Parseval double-sum theorem already proved above gives the same sum in every Hilbert basis.  This
+is the positive case needed by density operators and does not use polar decomposition.

+# The unconditional trace, for arbitrary (not necessarily self-adjoint) trace-class operators
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/GeneralIdeal.lean`. `Basic.lean` already proves
+basis-independence of the trace for positive and self-adjoint trace-class operators without polar
+decomposition; this file crosses the general non-self-adjoint boundary: `√|T|` is Hilbert–Schmidt,
+so `T = polarFactor T * √|T| * √|T|` factors `T`'s diagonal series as a Hilbert–Schmidt product, and
+`HilbertSchmidt.tsum_diagonal_mul_eq_tsum_diagonal_swap` (the Fubini swap on that product) upgrades
+this to full basis-independence of `trace T` for *every* trace-class `T`.

+# The product of two Hilbert–Schmidt operators is trace class
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/GeneralProduct.lean`. This is the master lemma
+that finally crosses the non-self-adjoint boundary honestly: given the general partial-isometry
+identity `Polar.star_polarFactor_mul_self` (`star (polarFactor T) * T = |T|`, for *every* bounded
+`T`), the diagonal of `|R * S|` for Hilbert–Schmidt `R`, `S` is exactly
+`i ↦ ⟪(adjoint R * polarFactor (R*S)) eᵢ, S eᵢ⟫`, absolutely summable by the same Hilbert–Schmidt
+Cauchy–Schwarz estimate used for the diagonal of a Hilbert–Schmidt product.
+
+From this single theorem, the general (not necessarily positive or self-adjoint) trace-class ideal
+structure follows: every trace-class operator is already `(polarFactor T * √|T|) * √|T|` (both
+Hilbert–Schmidt factors), so this master lemma gives the two-sided ideal estimate and additive
+closure of `IsTraceClass` for arbitrary operators, closing `Banach.lean`'s `isTraceClass_add` gap
+and `HilbertSpaceInstance.lean`'s `isTraceClass_mul_coe` gap.

+# Hilbert–Schmidt operators
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/{HilbertSchmidt,HSAlgebra,HSEstimate}.lean` and
+the Cauchy–Schwarz estimates of `TraceClass/TraceProduct.lean`, restated against this repo's
+`H →L[ℂ] H` (the source's `B(H)`) with no bundled subtype involved — the source's own top-level
+`TraceClass.lean` already used the identical predicate-based `IsTraceClass`/`traceNorm`/`trace`
+this repo's `Basic.lean` does, so no translation of the underlying convention was needed, only the
+notation change and reuse of `Basic.lean`'s own (now-public) `hasSum_norm_sq_inner_basis` in place
+of the source's private per-file copy of the same lemma.
+
+A bounded operator `S` is **Hilbert–Schmidt** when `∑ᵢ ‖S eᵢ‖²` converges for some (equivalently,
+by the basis-independence theorem below, every) Hilbert basis `{eᵢ}`. This is the reusable analytic
+layer between plain boundedness and trace-classness: `S⋆S` is trace class whenever `S` is
+Hilbert–Schmidt, a bounded contraction on either side preserves the predicate, and a product of two
+Hilbert–Schmidt operators has an absolutely summable diagonal in every basis (the Cauchy–Schwarz
+step consumed by the polar-decomposition argument in `GeneralProduct.lean`).

+# Quantitative trace-norm estimates
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/IdealNorm.lean`. This file promotes the
+qualitative general ideal theory of `GeneralProduct.lean` to quantitative inequalities: the trace
+norm is subadditive (`Banach.lean`'s `traceNorm_add_le` gap) and satisfies the two-sided ideal
+estimate `‖A T B‖₁ ≤ ‖A‖ ‖T‖₁ ‖B‖` (`HilbertSpaceInstance.lean`'s `traceNorm_mul_mul_le` gap). The
+common engine is a single "duality" bound: for trace-class `A`, any contraction `W`, and any
+Hilbert basis, the pairing `∑ᵢ ‖⟪W eᵢ, A eᵢ⟫‖` never exceeds `‖A‖₁`; specializing `W` to the
+identity gives `HilbertSpaceInstance.lean`'s `norm_trace_le` gap directly.

+# Polar decomposition for bounded operators
+
+Ported from `unbounded-alpha-public`'s `TraceClass/Polar.lean`, restated against this repo's
+`H →L[ℂ] H` (no bundled trace-class subtype involved at all here — this file only uses `CFC.abs`).
+
+For a bounded operator `T`, its absolute value `S = |T|` satisfies `‖T x‖ = ‖S x‖`. The resulting
+isometry from `range S` to `H` is extended to the closure of that range, producing a genuine
+partial isometry `polarFactor T` with `polarFactor T * |T| = T` and, crucially,
+`star (polarFactor T) * T = |T|` for *every* bounded `T` — the fact that finally lets trace-class
+theory cross the non-self-adjoint boundary in `GeneralIdeal.lean`/`GeneralProduct.lean`.

+# Analytic vectors for an unbounded operator (part 1 of Nelson's analytic-vector theorem)
+
+This covers the `IsAnalyticVector`/`IteratesSeq`
+definitions and the radius-controlled vector-valued exponential series `analyticExp` (summability,
+derivative, algebraic comparison lemmas), together with the norm-preservation and deficiency-space
+vanishing lemmas that feed the global-orbit essential-self-adjointness criterion
+(`IsSymmetric.isEssentiallySelfAdjoint_of_denseEntireVectors`) — part 1 of Nelson's analytic-vector
+theorem (Reed–Simon Vol. II, Thm X.39).
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `IteratesSeq`, `IsAnalyticVector`, `AnalyticVectorWitness`, `IsEntireVector` : the analytic- and
+  entire-vector notions for a `LinearPMap`, and the proof-relevant witness structure.
+- `analyticExp` / `analyticExpTerm` : the local vector-valued exponential series built from an
+  iterate witness.
+
+## Main results
+
+- `analyticExp_norm_eq_norm` : the local exponential orbit of a symmetric operator's analytic
+  vector preserves norm.
+- `IsSymmetric.isEssentiallySelfAdjoint_of_denseEntireVectors` : a dense family of entire vectors
+  is sufficient for essential self-adjointness.

+# Analytic vectors for an unbounded operator (part 2 of 3: local and global orbits)
+
+Continuation of `AnalyticVector/Basic.lean`; this part covers `LocalAnalyticOrbit` and
+`GlobalAnalyticOrbit`, the certificate objects the finite-radius
+Nelson construction extends by overlapping local pieces (Reed–Simon Vol. II, Thm X.39).
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `GlobalAnalyticOrbit` : a global norm-preserving orbit for a vector, with the differential
+  equation interpreted in the closed operator; the exact analytic certificate needed by the
+  deficiency argument.
+- `LocalOrbitCover` / `LocalOrbitCoreCover` : a countable cover of `ℝ` by local analytic orbits,
+  agreeing pairwise on their overlaps, used to glue local charts into a global orbit.
+
+## Main results
+
+- `LocalAnalyticOrbit.eq_of_same_initial` : two local orbits based at the same state agree on the
+  intersection of their domains.
+- `LocalOrbitCover.toGlobal` / `LocalOrbitCoreCover.toGlobal` : glue a cover into a single global
+  analytic orbit.
+- `GlobalAnalyticOrbit.inner_deficiency_eq_zero` / `inner_deficiency_eq_zero_neg` : a global orbit
+  kills both deficiency spaces.

+# Analytic vectors for an unbounded operator (part 3 of 3: gluing and Nelson's criterion)
+
+Continuation of `AnalyticVector/Local.lean`; this part glues local charts into a global orbit and
+concludes Nelson's single-operator analytic-vector essential-self-adjointness criterion.
+
+## Main results
+
+- `IsSymmetric.isEssentiallySelfAdjoint_of_denseAnalyticVectors_of_globalOrbit` : a dense family
+  of analytic vectors proves essential self-adjointness once its local exponential orbits have
+  been patched to global norm-preserving orbits.
+- `IsSymmetric.isEssentiallySelfAdjoint_of_denseAnalyticVectors` : **Nelson's analytic-vector
+  theorem, single-operator case** (Reed–Simon Vol. II, Theorem X.39, first half). A symmetric
+  operator with a dense set of analytic vectors is essentially self-adjoint.

+# Weak-operator-topology spectral measures
+
+`Physlib.QuantumMechanics.Operators.SpectralTheory.SpectralMeasure` already gives a
+star-projection-valued measure `Set α → H →L[ℂ] H`, σ-additive in the *norm* topology on bounded
+operators. That norm additivity is too strong a requirement for the spectral measures produced by
+the (still-to-come) unbounded spectral theorem: an unbounded self-adjoint operator's spectral
+projections need only add up weakly, on each pair of test vectors, not in operator norm. This file
+gives that weaker notion its own type, `WOTSpectralMeasure`, valued in Mathlib's weak-operator-
+topology copy of the bounded operators, `H →WOT[ℂ] H` (`Mathlib.Analysis.InnerProductSpace.
+WeakOperatorTopology`).
+
+`WOTSpectralMeasure` is otherwise a verbatim analogue of `SpectralMeasure`: same structure shape
+(`VectorMeasure` plus "every value is a star projection" plus "`univ ↦ 1`"), same basic algebra
+(idempotence, orthogonality on disjoint sets, intersection multiplicativity, commutativity). The
+two cannot share a definition because they are literally valued in different types (`H →L[ℂ] H`
+vs. `H →WOT[ℂ] H` carry the same ring structure but different topologies, hence different
+`VectorMeasure` targets) — but `SpectralMeasure.toWOT`, at the end of this file, is the coercion
+that turns any norm-continuous `SpectralMeasure` into a `WOTSpectralMeasure` for free, so nothing
+built on `SpectralMeasure` elsewhere in this codebase needs re-deriving to be usable here.
+
+This file also records the covariance of the type under a measurable pushforward of the
+underlying measurable space (`map`) — needed to move a spectral measure along a change of
+spectral variable, e.g. through the Cayley transform.

+# The bounded weak-operator spectral integral
+
+Builds `boundedIntegral μS f hf hbdd : H →WOT[ℂ] H`, the operator `∫ f dμS` for a bounded
+measurable `f : α → ℂ`, in three stages:
+
+1. `simpleIntegral` : the finite-sum integral of a `SimpleFunc α ℂ`,
+   `∑ z ∈ f.range, z • μS (f⁻¹{z})`.
+2. `boundedIntegralOfUniformApprox` : given an explicit sequence of simple functions
+   converging
+   *uniformly* to `f`, the norm-limit (in the underlying `H →L[ℂ] H`, then viewed weakly) of their
+   simple integrals. `simpleIntegral_norm_le` gives the uniform Cauchy estimate that makes this
+   limit exist.
+3. `boundedIntegral` : specializing to the canonical uniform approximation supplied by
+   `SimpleFunc.approxOn` on a bounded range (`exists_uniform_simple_approx`), so no approximating
+   sequence needs to be supplied by hand.
+
+This is the weak-operator-topology analogue of ordinary integration against a scalar measure
+generalized to an operator-valued one; a weak PVM need not have finite variation in operator
+norm, so working in the WOT type (rather than trying to make sense of a norm-limit integral
+directly) is what makes this integral tractable at all. The characteristic-function case,
+`simpleIntegral_piecewise_indicator`, is the bridge back from this integral to `μS` itself:
+`∫ 𝟙_S dμS = μS S`.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `simpleIntegral`, `simpleIntegral_norm_sq_eq_lintegral` : the finite-sum integral, and its
+  norm-square identity against `diagonalMeasure`.
+- `boundedIntegral` : the canonical bounded operator integral of a bounded measurable `f`.

+The WOT type is a topological copy of the bounded-operator space; its underlying normed operator
+is still available through `toCLM`. The finite estimate above therefore gives a norm completion
+for any explicitly supplied uniformly convergent simple approximation. Keeping the approximation
+sequence as an argument makes the analytic hypotheses visible at this low level.

+# Algebra of the bounded weak-operator spectral integral
+
+`boundedIntegral` (`BoundedIntegral.lean`) is well-defined independently of the choice of uniform
+approximating sequence (`boundedIntegral_eq_of_uniform_approx`), which is what makes it possible
+to prove it is a `*`-homomorphism from bounded measurable functions to `H →WOT[ℂ] H`: additive
+(`boundedIntegral_add`), multiplicative (`boundedIntegral_mul`), star-compatible
+(`boundedIntegral_star`), unital (`boundedIntegral_const`), and an isometry on the vector-state
+norm (`boundedIntegral_norm_sq_eq_integral`, the operator-integral analogue of Plancherel). The
+functional calculus this gives is exactly the bounded piece of what the spectral theorem is meant
+to supply once the unbounded case is built: `f ↦ f(T)` for bounded Borel `f`, with no unbounded
+operator `T` needed yet since everything here is stated directly against `μS`.
+
+`ext_of_boundedIntegral_eq` upgrades the scalar-measure extensionality of `ScalarMeasure.lean` to
+extensionality by the integral itself: two spectral measures agreeing on every bounded Borel
+integral must already agree pointwise on measurable sets (specializing to the indicator function
+recovers `ext_of_scalarMeasure_eq`).
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `boundedIntegral_add`, `boundedIntegral_mul`, `boundedIntegral_star`, `boundedIntegral_const` :
+  the `boundedIntegral` functional calculus is a unital `*`-homomorphism.
+- `boundedIntegral_norm_sq_eq_integral` : `‖(boundedIntegral f) x‖² = ∫ |f|² dμₓ`.
+- `ext_of_boundedIntegral_eq` : a spectral measure is determined by its bounded integrals.

+# The Cayley transform for a self-adjoint operator
+
+The Cayley transform `c(x) = (x - i) / (x + i)` maps the real line onto the unit circle minus the
+point `1` (which corresponds to `x = ∞`). Applied to a self-adjoint operator in place of a real
+number, it turns an (unbounded, densely-defined) self-adjoint operator into a bounded unitary
+operator — the standard device, due to von Neumann, for reducing unbounded self-adjoint spectral
+theory to the bounded/unitary case, where tools such as the continuous functional calculus already
+apply.
+
+This file develops the elementary scalar transform `cayley`/`cayleyInverse` first — the inverse is
+only needed away from `1`, the point corresponding to infinity, and is defined arbitrarily there;
+on the actual Cayley image it is a genuine inverse — and then transports it to an unbounded
+self-adjoint operator `T : H →ₗ.[ℂ] H`: `cayleyPMap T` is the resulting Cayley-transformed partial
+operator, which turns out to be everywhere-defined and bounded (`cayleyContinuousLinearMap`), and
+in fact a genuine unitary (`cayleyUnitary`) once `T` is self-adjoint. No unbounded theorem is
+hidden in a definition: everything here is elementary Hilbert-space algebra once self-adjointness
+supplies the resolvent set membership at `± i`.
+
+- `cayley`, `cayleyInverse` : the scalar Möbius maps `(x - i) / (x + i)` and its (one-sided)
+  inverse, together with their real/imaginary-part formulas and round-trip identities.
+- `cayleyPMap` : the Cayley transform of a partial operator, before forgetting boundedness.
+- `cayleyContinuousLinearMap`, `cayleyUnitary` : the resulting bounded operator, proved to be a

+# The bounded-unitary spectral interface
+
+The bounded spectral theorem itself does not need the Cayley support condition from
+`Cayley/Measure.lean`: that condition is only needed once a bounded unitary's spectral measure is
+going to be pulled back to the real line. This file records the general output any construction
+of a bounded normal/unitary spectral measure must supply (`BoundedNormalSpectralData`,
+`BoundedUnitarySpectralData`), independently of how that measure is actually built — kept general
+so an arbitrary bounded normal operator can consume the same interface, not only Cayley unitaries.
+
+`BoundedUnitarySpectralData` additionally exposes the real spectral measure obtained by pulling
+its (Cayley-supported) complex measure back through `cayleyInverseMap`, together with the exact
+uniqueness statement: a real spectral measure is determined by its Cayley pushforward.
+
+- `BoundedNormalSpectralData` : a spectral measure reconstructing a bounded normal operator `U`

+- `BoundedUnitarySpectralData` : the same, plus the support condition needed to invert the Cayley
+  map, and the resulting `realSpectralMeasure`.

+# The inverse Cayley operator
+
+This file contains the reusable operator-side converse to `Cayley/Basic.lean`'s Cayley transform.
+A unitary operator `u` has a possible missing point at `1`; its inverse Cayley transform is
+therefore the partial operator
+
+`i (1 + u) (1 - u)⁻¹`.
+
+The inverse is defined on the range of `1 - u`. The no-fixed-vector hypothesis in
+`CayleyUnitaryData` makes the inverse unambiguous. For a unitary, the same hypothesis also forces
+the range of `1 - u` to be dense; that fact is proved here using orthogonal complements and the
+Hilbert-space adjoint theorem. The range calculations at `± i` then prove self-adjointness
+directly from the symmetric-operator criterion already available for `LinearPMap`.
+
+No model-specific completeness theorem is used here: this is the general layer that a concrete
+Hamiltonian can use after producing its Cayley unitary.
+
+- `inverseCayleyPMap` : the partial inverse Cayley transform of a unitary operator.
+- `inverseCayleyPMap_isSelfAdjoint` : the inverse Cayley transform of a unitary with `1` not a
+  fixed vector, and with `1 - u` having dense range, is self-adjoint.
+- `CayleyUnitaryData` : the standard hypotheses for taking an inverse Cayley transform.
+- `cayleyContinuousLinearMap_inverseCayleyPMap_eq` : the inverse Cayley transform of `u`'s Cayley
+  transform recovers `u` itself.

+# Transporting a spectral measure through the Cayley transform
+
+`Cayley/Basic.lean` gives the scalar Cayley transform `cayley : ℝ → ℂ` and its (one-sided)
+inverse `cayleyInverse`. This file pushes a `WOTSpectralMeasure` forward and backward along those
+maps (`cayleyMap`, `cayleyInverseMap`), proves the round trip on the real side is exact
+(`cayleyInverseMap_cayleyMap`, hence `cayleyMap_injective`), and identifies exactly which complex
+measures are genuine Cayley images: those supported on the unit circle away from `1`
+(`CayleySupported`), giving an equivalence `cayleyMeasureEquiv` between real spectral measures and
+Cayley-supported complex ones. This is the reusable measure-level core of the self-adjoint/unitary
+correspondence; no unbounded operator is mentioned in this file at all.

+/-! ### A bounded extension of the Cayley difference multiplier
+
+The algebraic factor `1 - z` is bounded on the unit circle, which is the support of the
+bounded Cayley spectral measure, but it is not bounded on all of `ℂ`.  The bounded integral
+API quite correctly asks for a global bound.  We therefore use the zero extension outside the
+closed unit disk; support reduction makes it equal to `1 - z` wherever the spectral measure
+sees it.

+/-! ### The inverse-moment transport lemma
+
+The bounded spectral reconstruction supplies the Cayley moment `z`.  The genuinely unbounded
+step is the inverse-Cayley moment on the operator domain.  The following theorem isolates the
+measure-transport part of that step: once the inverse moment is established on the bounded
+Cayley measure, it is transported automatically to the real spectral measure.  This keeps the
+analytic domain argument separate from the bookkeeping for mapped vector measures.

+# Transporting a weak spectral measure through a Hilbert-space unitary
+
+A Hilbert-space isometric isomorphism `u : H ≃ₗᵢ[ℂ] H'` conjugates bounded operators on `H` to
+bounded operators on `H'` (`A ↦ u A u⁻¹`), and this conjugation is a `*`-algebra isomorphism
+between the two weak-operator-topology spaces. Composing a `WOTSpectralMeasure α H` with it
+therefore gives a `WOTSpectralMeasure α H'` — the spectral measure "carried across" the unitary.
+This is the tool that lets a spectral measure constructed on one concrete representation be
+transported to any unitarily equivalent one, and it also transports the associated scalar and
+diagonal measures from `ScalarMeasure.lean` (`unitaryConjSpectralMeasure_scalarMeasure`,
+`unitaryConjSpectralMeasure_diagonalMeasure`).
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `unitaryConj` : conjugation of a single bounded WOT operator by `u`.
+- `unitaryConjSpectralMeasure` : conjugation of a whole `WOTSpectralMeasure` by `u`.
+- `unitaryConjSpectralMeasure_scalarMeasure`, `_diagonalMeasure` : the transported measure's
+  scalar/diagonal measures, in terms of the original.

+# The essential spectrum is closed
+
+Ported, essentially verbatim, from `adambornemann-glitch/Spectra`'s
+`SpectralTheory/Essential/Closed.lean` (Apache 2.0).
+
+`isClosed_essSpectrum` : for a self-adjoint operator `A`, `essSpectrum hA` is a closed subset
+of `ℝ`.
+
+The proof is the standard diagonal argument. Given `λ_k ∈ essSpectrum` with `λ_k → λ`, each `λ_k`
+carries a singular sequence `(ψ_{k,n})_n`. All these vectors lie in a **separable** closed subspace
+`K` (the closed span of the countable family), which has a countable dense subset `{d_j}`. Choosing
+`n_k` so that `ψ_{k,n_k}` is simultaneously an approximate eigenvector of quality `1/(k+1)`,
+approximately normalized, and almost orthogonal to `d_0,…,d_k`, the diagonal sequence
+`φ_k := ψ_{k,n_k}` is a singular sequence for `λ` — weak nullness following from the orthogonal
+projection onto `K` together with the dense subset.

+Ported from `adambornemann-glitch/Spectra`'s `SpectralTheory/Essential/Defs.lean` (Apache 2.0),

+instead of introducing a parallel one. See `EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md` §3.4.

+* weakly null (`⟪g, ψ n⟫ → 0` for every `g`), and
+* an approximate eigensequence (`‖A ψ n − λ ψ n‖ → 0`).
+
+Weak nullness is exactly what is needed for the perturbation theorem (Weyl's theorem, see
+`Weyl.lean`): a relatively compact perturbation does not see a weakly-null approximate-eigenvector
+sequence. An *orthonormal* approximate eigensequence is a special case — orthonormal sequences are
+weakly null (`WeakCompact.lean`) — so this matches the classical Weyl-criterion definition.

+# Discreteness theorem (not ported — recorded as a gap)
+
+`adambornemann-glitch/Spectra`'s `SpectralTheory/Essential/Discrete.lean` proves the hard half of
+the Weyl theory:
+
+> A spectral point of a self-adjoint operator that is **not** in the essential spectrum is an
+> eigenvalue of finite type — `∃ ψ ∈ A.domain, ψ ≠ 0 ∧ A ψ = λ • ψ`.
+
+This is deliberately **not** ported here (not even as a `sorry`'d restatement against this repo's
+own `LinearPMap`/`IsSelfAdjoint` types), for a specific reason:
+
+## Why this one is skipped
+
+Spectra's proof (`mem_essSpectrum_of_proj_singleton_eq_zero`) is not self-contained within
+`SpectralTheory/Essential/` — it is built entirely on top of Spectra's own bespoke
+projection-valued-measure infrastructure: `Spectra.ProjValMeasure`, `PVM.spectralPVM hA` (the
+spectral measure of a self-adjoint operator, with its diagonal measures `P.diag`), the
+Stone-generator correspondence `genToGroup`/`generator_genToGroup`, and the localization bound
+`generator_sub_smul_norm_le_Icc` from Spectra's `Measure/GeneratorLink.lean` and `Eigenspace.lean`.
+
+`EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md` §4 explicitly rules out reusing Spectra's `ProjValMeasure`/POVM
+wrapper types (this repo's own architecture decision forbids a second Hilbert-space PVM hierarchy),
+and this port deliberately excludes pulling in unrelated Spectra subtrees beyond
+`SpectralTheory/Essential/` and `SpectralTheory/` itself. Reproving this theorem against this
+repo's *own* spectral-measure apparatus (`HilbertSpace/Unbounded/WOTSpectralMeasure`,
+`SpectralIntegral/{Construction,SpecTheorem}.lean`) is real, substantial work — identifying the
+right "spectral projection at a point/interval" primitives in this repo's own construction and
+re-deriving the localization estimate — not a mechanical restatement, and out of scope for this
+port.
+
+## What the theorem would give, if ported
+
+Restated against this repo's types, the target statement is:
+
+```
+theorem mem_pointSpectrum_of_mem_spectrum_notMem_essSpectrum {A : H →ₗ.[ℂ] H}
+    (hA : IsSelfAdjoint A) {lam : ℝ} (hspec : (lam : ℂ) ∈ LinearPMap.spectrum A)
+    (hne : lam ∉ essSpectrum hA) :
+    ∃ ψ : A.domain, (ψ : H) ≠ 0 ∧ A ψ = (lam : ℂ) • (ψ : H)
+```
+
+## The connection to `JordanOrderUnit/SpectralDecomposition.lean`'s `discreteSpectrum` gap
+
+Per `EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md` §3.4, this theorem combined with `Weyl.lean`'s invariance
+theorem and `HilbertSpace/TraceClass/Basic.lean`'s `HasFiniteMultiplicity` is exactly the tool that
+gap needs: "discrete spectrum" done honestly is "spectrum outside `essSpectrum`", and each such
+point is then an eigenvalue (this theorem) whose eigenspace projection is shown separately to be
+trace class (`HasFiniteMultiplicity`) — giving Murray–von Neumann finite multiplicity without ever
+invoking a purely topological/isolated-point notion of "discrete".
+
+**Caveat found during this port**: no file named `JordanOrderUnit/SpectralDecomposition.lean`, and
+no occurrence of `discreteSpectrum`, currently exists anywhere in this checkout
+(`physlib-agent/pr-1602-reconcile`) — only `EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md`'s own prose mentions it.
+So this file records the intended bridge for when that file is written, rather than connecting to
+an existing declaration.
+
+**The exact remaining bridge**, once both pieces above are available:
+
+1. Build the `H →L[ℂ] H`-bundling of `𝑅 A z` noted in `Weyl.lean`'s docstring (or otherwise supply
+   an `IsResolventAt` witness), so `essSpectrum` invariance is usable on concrete operators.
+2. Port (or re-derive against this repo's own spectral-measure machinery) the theorem stated above.
+3. Define `discreteSpectrum hA := (LinearPMap.spectrum A ∩ Set.range ((↑) : ℝ → ℂ)) \ (essSpectrum
+   hA image)` (or however `SpectralDecomposition.lean` ends up phrasing it) and show each of its
+   points is an eigenvalue (step 2) with `HasFiniteMultiplicity` eigenprojection — the latter needs
+   a separate, model-dependent finiteness argument (e.g. from a trace-class resolvent), not supplied
+   by Weyl's theorem itself.

+# Real scaling of self-adjoint operators: self-adjointness and essential spectrum
+
+Adapted from `adambornemann-glitch/Spectra`'s `SpectralTheory/Essential/Smul.lean` (Apache 2.0).
+Only the two lemmas that need no resolvent construction are ported here (**L1**, **L2** below);
+Spectra's third lemma, resolvent scaling (`selfAdjointResolvent (c•A − z)⁻¹ = c⁻¹•(A − z/c)⁻¹`),
+is **not** ported — this repo does not yet have a bounded-operator resolvent built directly from
+`IsSelfAdjoint` (see the docstring gap in `Weyl.lean`), and resolvent scaling itself is not needed
+for Weyl's theorem. See `EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md` §3.4.
+

+
+* **L1** `isSelfAdjoint_smul_real` — `(c : ℂ) • A` is self-adjoint (formal self-adjointness for
+  real `c` + surjectivity of `(c•A) ± i` via von Neumann's criterion,
+  `IsSymmetric.isSelfAdjoint_of_range_eq_top`).
+* **L2** `essSpectrum_smul_real` — `essSpectrum (c • A) = (· * c) '' essSpectrum A` (Weyl

+# Compact operators kill weakly-null sequences
+
+Ported, essentially verbatim, from `adambornemann-glitch/Spectra`'s
+`SpectralTheory/Essential/WeakCompact.lean` (Apache 2.0). Self-contained Hilbert-space facts, not
+tied to any particular unbounded-operator type — the two analytic linchpins behind Weyl's theorem
+on the essential spectrum (`Weyl.lean`):
+
+* `Orthonormal.tendsto_inner_atTop_zero` — an orthonormal sequence is *weakly null*: for every
+  fixed `g`, `⟪g, ψ n⟫ → 0`. This is Bessel's inequality plus "summable ⟹ terms → 0".
+
+* `IsCompactOperator.tendsto_norm_apply_of_weaklyNull` — a **compact** operator maps a bounded
+  weakly-null sequence to a norm-null sequence. This is the single fact that makes the
+  perturbation argument work: a compact piece does not see the (weakly vanishing) approximate
+  eigenvectors.
+
+Both statements phrase weak convergence *concretely* (`∀ g, ⟪g, u n⟫ → 0`), never via the weak
+topology — so the proofs use only `IsCompact.tendsto_subseq` and the continuity of the inner
+product, avoiding Banach–Alaoglu entirely.

+# Weyl's theorem: invariance of the essential spectrum under a compact resolvent perturbation
+
+Ported and adapted from `adambornemann-glitch/Spectra`'s `SpectralTheory/Essential/Weyl.lean`
+(Apache 2.0). See `EXTERNAL_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md` §3.4.
+
+If `A`, `B` are self-adjoint operators whose resolvents at `i` differ by a **compact** operator,
+then `essSpectrum hA = essSpectrum hB`.
+
+## The missing bridge (honesty note)
+
+Spectra proves this against its own `selfAdjointResolvent hA z hz : H →L[ℂ] H`, a genuine bounded
+operator built elsewhere in Spectra (`Spectra.Resolvent`) from `IsSelfAdjoint` alone: injectivity
+of `A − z•1` off the real axis (from symmetry) plus surjectivity (already available here,
+`LinearPMap.IsSelfAdjoint.sub_smul_surjective`) give a linear bijection `H ≃ A.domain`, and then a
+**closed graph theorem** argument upgrades continuity of the inverse to boundedness.
+
+This repo already has the *partial-operator* resolvent `𝑅 T z := (T - z • 1).inverse`
+(`Physlib.QuantumMechanics.Operators.SpectralTheory.Basic`), and knows `𝑅 A z` is total (domain
+`⊤`) and continuous whenever `z ∈ resolventSet A` — but does not yet package "total + continuous"
+into a `H →L[ℂ] H` bundled continuous linear map (the last, purely bureaucratic step of the closed
+graph argument: `LinearMap.mkContinuous`-style repackaging of a `LinearPMap` with domain `⊤`).
+Building that packaging is a well-scoped, non-heroic remaining task (bounded by the 20–30 minute
+budget for this port, this file does not attempt it) — once it exists, `IsResolventAt` below
+becomes a *derived* fact about `𝑅 A I` rather than a standing hypothesis, and every theorem in
+this file specializes immediately (no proof surgery needed: only the hypothesis `hRA`/`hRB` needs
+discharging).
+
+In the meantime, `IsResolventAt` axiomatizes exactly the three properties Spectra's
+`selfAdjointResolvent` is proved to have (`selfAdjointResolvent_mem_domain`,
+`selfAdjointResolvent_solves`, `selfAdjointResolvent_left_inverse`) and every theorem below is
+proved from those three properties alone — so the mathematical content of Weyl's theorem is fully
+ported and machine-checked; only the *existence* of a bounded resolvent operator satisfying them is
+left as a hypothesis instead of a constructed witness.
+
+## Main results
+
+* `essSpectrum_subset_of_isCompactOperator_resolvent_sub` — one inclusion.
+* `essSpectrum_eq_of_isCompactOperator_resolvent_sub` — **Weyl's theorem**.
+* `essSpectrum_eq_of_isCompactOperator_perturb` — the relatively-compact-perturbation form
+  (`B = A + (compact)·(resolvent)`), the form that applies to Schrödinger operators.

+repo has a `H →L[ℂ] H` packaging of the existing partial resolvent `𝑅 A z`

+# The candidate Stone generator of an abstract unitary group
+
+Milestone 2 of `STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`: given a strongly continuous one-parameter
+unitary group `U`, define the candidate self-adjoint generator as a `LinearPMap`, whose domain is
+exactly the set of vectors along whose orbit `U` is differentiable at `t = 0`, and whose action is
+`-i` times that derivative (matching the `U t = exp(-it Hgen)` convention already used in
+`DynamicsTransport.lean`).
+
+This file only builds the *definition* and proves it is well-formed (domain is a submodule, the
+action is linear) and *symmetric*. It does **not** prove the domain is dense (that's
+`GardingVectors.lean`, a separate file with no dependency on this one beyond sharing the same
+domain predicate verbatim) and does **not** prove self-adjointness (that needs the resolvent
+construction, Milestone 3).
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `stoneCandidateDomain` : the submodule of vectors differentiable at `t = 0` along `U`'s orbit.
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator` : the `LinearPMap` sending such a vector to `-i` times its derivative.
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator_isSymmetric` : this `LinearPMap` is symmetric.

+# The full `IsAnalyticVector` witness for Gårding vectors (Milestone 2 of Track A, completed)
+
+The capstone of `STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`'s Milestone 1′: `analyticGardingVector U ε ψ`
+is a genuine `LinearPMap.IsAnalyticVector` of `stoneCandidateGenerator`, for *every* strongly
+continuous one-parameter unitary group `U` and every `ψ`. Combined with the ported Nelson's
+analytic-vector theorem (`AnalyticVector/Nelson.lean`), this is the existence direction of Stone's
+theorem via Gårding vectors, entirely avoiding the classical Bochner/spectral-measure route.
+
+## The assembly
+
+Write `Gₙ := gardingVectorAt U (iteratedDeriv n (gaussianKernel ε)) ψ` (so `G₀ =
+analyticGardingVector U ε ψ`, `rfl`). `gardingVectorAt_iteratedKernel_hasDerivAt`
+(`IteratedKernelGrowth.lean`) gives, for
+every `n`: `Gₙ ∈ (stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul).domain` and
+`stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul Gₙ = I • Gₙ₊₁` (the same argument as
+`stoneCandidateGenerator_analyticGardingVector`, one order at a time). Since `T` is linear on its
+domain, `v n := Iⁿ • ⟨Gₙ, _⟩` then satisfies the `IteratesSeq` recursion exactly (the factor of `I`
+at each step is absorbed by the extra power of `I` on the left): `T (v n) = Iⁿ • (T Gₙ) = Iⁿ • (I •
+Gₙ₊₁) = Iⁿ⁺¹ • Gₙ₊₁ = v (n+1)`. Since `|I| = 1`, `‖(v n : H)‖ = ‖Gₙ‖`, bounded via
+`gaussianKernel_iteratedDeriv_L1_bound` and unitarity by `‖ψ‖ · C^(n+1) · √(n!)`. Choosing `t`
+small enough that `C·t < 1` turns the majorant series into a genuine geometric series (dominating
+the `1/√(n!) ≤ 1` factor crudely, which is all that is needed for the analytic-vector radius, even
+though the true series is far better than geometric) — summable, completing the witness.

+# Analytic Gårding vectors for the candidate Stone generator (Milestone 1′)
+
+`STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`'s revised Milestone 1: instead of a compactly-supported bump
+(which can never be real-analytic, so its Gårding vectors cannot be analytic vectors of the
+generator), mollify against the normalized heat kernel
+
+`gaussianKernel ε t := (π * ε)⁻¹ᐟ² * Real.exp (-(t ^ 2) / ε)` (`ε > 0`),
+
+whose Gårding vectors `analyticGardingVector ε ψ := ∫ t, gaussianKernel ε t • U t ψ` are meant to
+be simultaneously (a) genuine analytic vectors of `stoneCandidateGenerator` (fed to the ported
+Nelson's theorem, Milestone 3′) and (b) dense as `ε → 0` (the heat kernel is an approximate
+identity).
+
+**(b) is fully proved** (`analyticGardingVector_tendsto`), via a scaling change of variables
+`t = √ε x` that rewrites the `ε`-dependent Gaussian as a *fixed* kernel (`standardGaussianKernel`)
+with all the `ε`-dependence pushed into `U (√ε x) ψ`'s argument — turning the approximate-identity
+limit into ordinary dominated convergence instead of an explicit Gaussian-tail estimate.
+
+**(a) is partially proved**: the commutation identity
+`stoneCandidateGenerator_analyticGardingVector` (one derivative) is fully proved via
+differentiation under the integral sign, and domain membership
+(`analyticGardingVector_mem_stoneCandidateDomain`) is derived from it rather than assumed. The full
+`IsAnalyticVector` conclusion (`LinearPMap.IsAnalyticVector`, from the landed Nelson port,
+`AnalyticVector/Basic.lean`) needs the same argument iterated to every derivative order plus a
+factorial-type `L¹` growth bound on the kernel's iterated derivatives — see
+`GaussianKernelGrowth.lean` and `STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`'s status log.

+
+- `gaussianKernel` : the normalized heat kernel on `ℝ`.
+- `analyticGardingVector` : its Gårding vector, `∫ t, gaussianKernel ε t • U t ψ`.
+- `analyticGardingVector_tendsto` : it tends to `ψ` as `ε → 0⁺`.
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator_analyticGardingVector` : the one-derivative commutation identity.
+- `analyticGardingVector_mem_stoneCandidateDomain` : membership, derived from the above.

+/-! ## Towards `analyticGardingVector_isAnalyticVector`
+
+The classical Gårding-vector commutation identity `A (gardingVector f ψ) = -gardingVector f' ψ`
+(up to the `-i` convention) is proved in two stages: first a purely algebraic translation identity
+(no calculus, just `U`'s group law and translation-invariance of Lebesgue measure — proved below,
+`analyticGardingVector_translate`), then a genuine differentiation-under-the-integral-sign step
+(stated but not yet proved, `stoneCandidateGenerator_analyticGardingVector` below) that turns the
+translation identity's `s`-dependence into a derivative of the smooth kernel. -/
+
+include hUmul in
+/-- Translating the orbit: `U s` applied to a Gårding vector is again a Gårding vector, but of the
+kernel shifted by `s`. This is the algebraic heart of the commutation identity — everything here is
+just `U`'s group law (`hUmul`) plus translation-invariance of the Lebesgue integral
+(`MeasureTheory.integral_add_right_eq_self`); no differentiability of `t ↦ U t ψ` is needed, which
+is the whole point: it lets the derivative be taken on the smooth kernel instead. -/

+# Growth of the heat kernel's derivatives (Milestone 1′, Track A)
+
+A **self-contained real-analysis fact**, with no dependence on the unitary group `U`, the Hilbert
+space `H`, or any operator machinery: a uniform factorial-type bound on the `L¹` norm of the
+`n`-th derivative of the normalized heat kernel `gaussianKernel ε` (`GardingVectors.lean`).
+
+This is exactly the estimate needed to make `analyticGardingVector ε ψ` a genuine
+`LinearPMap.IsAnalyticVector` of `stoneCandidateGenerator` once combined with the (separately
+tracked) commutation identity `stoneCandidateGenerator_analyticGardingVector`: that identity turns
+`Aⁿ (analyticGardingVector ε ψ)` into (up to a unimodular scalar) `analyticGardingVector`-of-the-
+`n`-th-derivative-kernel smeared against `ψ`, whose norm is bounded by
+`(L¹ norm of the n-th kernel derivative) * ‖ψ‖` (since `‖U t ψ‖ = ‖ψ‖`); this file's bound is what
+then makes `∑ ‖Aⁿ (analyticGardingVector ε ψ)‖ tⁿ / n!` summable for suitable `t`.
+
+## Strategy (revised — thanks to a user suggestion pointing at the right Mathlib lemma)
+
+Mathlib already has the exact structural identity needed, so there is no need to invent a
+polynomial recursion from scratch: `Polynomial.deriv_gaussian_eq_hermite_mul_gaussian`,
+
+`deriv^[n] (fun y => exp (-(y^2/2))) x = (-1)^n * aeval x (hermite n) * exp (-(x^2/2))`,
+
+where `hermite n` is the *probabilists'* Hermite polynomial. Combined with the scaling
+`x = √(2/ε) t` (which turns `gaussianKernel ε`'s `exp(-t²/ε)` into the standard-variance
+`exp(-x²/2)` this identity is stated for), this reduces `gaussianKernel_iteratedDeriv_L1_bound`
+to a single genuinely new fact:
+
+**the weighted `L¹` growth of Hermite polynomials against the standard Gaussian**,
+`∫ |Hₙ(x)| exp(-x²/2) dx ≤ √(2π) · √(n!)`.
+
+Rather than an `L^∞`-type Hermite bound (which Mathlib does not have, and which is arguably a
+harder classical fact than needed), this follows from **Cauchy–Schwarz** applied to
+`|Hₙ(x)| exp(-x²/2) = (|Hₙ(x)| exp(-x²/4)) · exp(-x²/4)`, reducing everything to the single
+**weighted `L²` norm identity** `∫ Hₙ(x)² exp(-x²/2) dx = √(2π) · n!` (the standard Hermite
+orthonormality fact, absent from Mathlib — checked directly, `Hermite/Basic.lean` has only
+algebraic/coefficient facts, `Hermite/Gaussian.lean` only the derivative identity above).
+
+That `L²` identity is now **fully proved** (no `sorry`, no axioms beyond the standard
+`propext`/`Classical.choice`/`Quot.sound`), by a single-step recursion `Iₙ = n · Iₙ₋₁` rather than
+`n`-fold integration by parts:
+
+* `hermite_derivative_succ`: the polynomial identity `Hₙ₊₁' = (n+1) · Hₙ` (absent from Mathlib;
+  proved here by induction directly from the defining recursion `hermite_succ`,
+  `Hₙ₊₁ = X·Hₙ - Hₙ'`).
+* `hermite_aeval_succ`/`hermite_aeval_deriv_succ`: the real-valued (`aeval`) specializations of
+  `hermite_succ` and `hermite_derivative_succ`.
+* `integrable_aeval_mul_gaussian`: any polynomial times a Gaussian weight is integrable (proved by
+  `Polynomial.induction_on'`, reducing to the monomial case via
+  `integrable_rpow_mul_exp_neg_mul_sq`).
+* `hermite_gaussian_sq_integral_succ`: the recursion itself. With `u := Hₙ₊₁`,
+  `v := Hₙ · exp(-x²/2)`, the defining recursion gives `v' = -u·exp(-x²/2)`, so integration by
+  parts on `(-∞,∞)` (`integral_mul_deriv_eq_deriv_mul_of_integrable` — the "of_integrable"
+  variant needs no explicit boundary-vanishing argument, only integrability of the three
+  relevant products) turns `∫ Hₙ₊₁² exp(-x²/2)` into `∫ Hₙ₊₁' · Hₙ · exp(-x²/2)`, which
+  `hermite_derivative_succ` identifies with `(n+1) · ∫ Hₙ² exp(-x²/2)`.
+* `hermite_gaussian_sq_integral`: assembled from the recursion by induction on `n`, with base case
+  `∫ exp(-x²/2) = √(2π)` (`integral_gaussian` at `b = 1/2`).
+
+An alternative strategy worth recording (suggested, not yet attempted): since
+`s ↦ g_ε(u - s)` is entire in a *complex* `s`, `analyticGardingVector`'s orbit
+`s ↦ U_s ψ_ε = ∫ g_ε(u-s) U_u ψ \, du` may extend to an entire `H`-valued function of a complex
+variable, from which analytic-vector status could follow via Taylor theory directly — potentially
+avoiding this whole Hermite apparatus. This would need a new general theorem ("entire orbit
+extension ⟹ `IsAnalyticVector`") that does not currently exist in the ported `AnalyticVector/*`
+files (checked: their API is purely series/growth-based), so it is not obviously smaller work; not
+pursued for now, and moot in any case now that the Hermite route is fully closed.

+# The candidate Stone generator's domain is invariant under its own group
+
+Toward the *reconstruction* half of Stone's theorem (`U t = exp(-it Hgen)`, not attempted by
+`StoneGenerator.lean`, which only gives existence of `Hgen`): the first genuinely new
+ingredient reconstruction needs is that the candidate generator `T := stoneCandidateGenerator
+hUmul` commutes with the group it was built from, i.e. `U` preserves `T`'s domain and
+`T (U t ψ) = U t (T ψ)` for `ψ ∈ T.domain`. Consequently `U`'s orbit through any `ψ ∈ T.domain` is
+differentiable at *every* time, not just `t = 0`, with derivative `i • T (U t ψ)` — matching the
+shape of `Unbounded.Flow.Stone`'s `expUnitaryGroup_hasDerivAt` for the spectral-integral group, and
+the natural next input toward an ODE-uniqueness argument identifying the two.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator_translate_hasDerivAt` : `U t` applied to the `t = 0` derivative witness
+  of `ψ`'s orbit is again a `t = 0` derivative witness, this time for `U t ψ`'s orbit.
+- `stoneCandidateDomain_translate` : `T.domain` is invariant under every `U t`.
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator_translate` : `T` commutes with `U t` on `T.domain`.
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator_hasDerivAt` : the orbit of `ψ ∈ T.domain` is differentiable at every
+  real time `s`, with derivative `i • T (U s ψ)`.

+# The Gårding-vector commutation identity for a generic smooth kernel
+
+Milestone 2 of Track A (`STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`): `GardingVectors.lean` proves
+the single-derivative commutation identity `stoneCandidateGenerator_analyticGardingVector` for the
+*specific* kernel `gaussianKernel ε`, via a differentiation-under-the-integral-sign argument
+(`analyticGardingVector_hasDerivAt`) whose proof only ever uses four structural facts about the
+kernel: it is continuous, it has an everywhere-defined derivative, that derivative is dominated
+locally (near a shift `x` in a bounded neighborhood of `0`) by an integrable function, and the
+kernel itself is integrable against `t ↦ U t ψ`. This file factors that argument out to apply to
+*any* kernel `k` satisfying those four properties, so that assembling the full
+`IsAnalyticVector` witness (which needs the *same* argument applied to `k := iteratedDeriv n
+(gaussianKernel ε)` at every order `n`) does not need to re-derive
+`hasDerivAt_integral_of_dominated_loc_of_deriv_le`'s application from scratch at each order — only
+the four hypotheses need to be checked for `iteratedDeriv n (gaussianKernel ε)`, which is genuine
+new work (`GaussianKernelGrowth.lean`'s companion file) but is now decoupled from this
+differentiation-under-the-integral machinery itself.
+
+## Main results

+- `gardingVectorAt_translate` : the algebraic translation identity, for any `k`.

+# Stone's theorem, existence direction: every strongly continuous unitary group has a
+self-adjoint generator
+
+The capstone of Track A (`STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`): for *any* strongly continuous
+one-parameter unitary group `U` on a Hilbert space `H` — no spectral measure, no boundedness, no
+prior structure assumed — the candidate generator `stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul` is essentially
+self-adjoint, i.e. its closure is a genuine self-adjoint (unbounded) operator. This is the classical
+"hard" direction of Stone's theorem, proved here entirely via **Gårding vectors + Nelson's
+analytic-vector theorem**, avoiding the usual Bochner/spectral-integral route.
+
+## The last step
+
+Nelson's theorem (`IsSymmetric.isEssentiallySelfAdjoint_of_denseAnalyticVectors`) needs a symmetric
+operator with a *dense* set of analytic vectors. `stoneCandidateGenerator_isSymmetric`
+(`CandidateGenerator.lean`) gives symmetry. Density follows from combining this Track's two main
+results: `analyticGardingVector_isAnalyticVector` (every Gårding vector `analyticGardingVector U ε
+ψ` is an analytic vector) and `analyticGardingVector_tendsto` (`analyticGardingVector U ε ψ → ψ` as
+`ε → 0⁺`, for *every* `ψ`) — so every vector in `H` is a limit of analytic vectors, hence lies in
+the closure of their span, hence that closure is all of `H`.

+# Stone's theorem, reconstruction direction: `U t = exp(-it Hgen)`
+
+The second half of Stone's theorem, completing `StoneGenerator.lean`'s existence result:
+the strongly continuous unitary group `U` a candidate generator `T := stoneCandidateGenerator
+hUmul` was built from is *recovered* from that generator's essential self-adjoint closure via the
+Cayley-transform spectral integral (`unboundedSpectralTheorem_of_essentiallySelfAdjoint`,
+`CayleySpectralData/SpecTheorem.lean`) and its associated unitary group
+(`WOTSpectralMeasure.expUnitaryGroup`, `StoneUnitaryGroup.lean`).
+
+## Strategy
+
+For `V t := ContinuousLinearMapWOT.toCLM (D.expUnitaryGroup t)`, both `t ↦ U t x` and
+`t ↦ V t x` satisfy the same "Schrödinger equation" `w'(t) = i • T.closure (w t)` for `x` in the
+(dense) domain of `T := stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul`:
+
+- the `U`-side derivative relation is `GeneratorInvariance.stoneCandidateGenerator_hasDerivAt`;
+- the `V`-side one combines `Flow.Stone`'s `expUnitaryGroup_hasDerivAt` with this Track's own
+  `Flow.StoneInvariance.expUnitaryGroup_translate`.
+
+Given that, `g(t) := ⟪U t x - V t x, U t x - V t x⟫_ℂ` has zero derivative everywhere (using that
+`T.closure` is self-adjoint, hence symmetric, so `⟪w, T.closure w⟫` is always real and the two
+cross terms of the product rule cancel exactly), hence is the constant `g(0) = 0`, hence `U t x =
+V t x` for every `t`. Density of `T`'s domain (already established in
+`StoneGenerator.lean`, since the analytic vectors used there are a subset of it) then
+extends this identity from the domain to all of `H`, using continuity of both `U t` and `V t`.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `stoneReconstructionSpectralMeasure`, `stoneReconstructionData` : the Cayley-transform spectral
+  measure and domain-aware spectral theorem for `stoneCandidateGenerator hUmul`'s closure.
+- `stoneReconstructionUnitaryGroup` : the resulting concrete `exp(itT)`, as a genuine
+  `H →L[ℂ] H`-valued function of `t`.
+- `stoneCandidateGenerator_reconstruction` : `U t = stoneReconstructionUnitaryGroup t` for every
+  `t` — the reconstruction theorem itself.

+# Stone generator of a domain-aware spectral theorem
+
+This file is the operator-level hand-off from the real spectral integral to Stone's theorem.
+The scalar and Hilbert-space limit is proved in `Stone`; the theorem below uses the domain
+equality and self-adjoint uniqueness package from `SelfAdjointSpectralTheorem` to identify the
+maximal spectral integral with the given unbounded operator.

+# Public generator API for an unbounded spectral theorem
+
+`Unbounded.Flow.Stone` proves the analytic limit statements for the unitary group attached to a
+domain-aware spectral theorem.  This file packages the most useful interface theorem: a vector is
+in the generator domain exactly when its orbit is differentiable at time zero.  The result is
+stated with an existential derivative so that it is independent of the sign convention chosen for
+the group; a companion theorem identifies the derivative as `Complex.I • T x`.
+
+This is only packaging.  The actual work is the square-moment argument and the maximal-integral
+operator equality proved in `Unbounded.Flow.Stone` and `UnboundedSpectralIntegral`.

+# The spectral-integral group's generator domain is invariant under its own group
+
+The `V`-side counterpart of
+`StoneExistence.GeneratorInvariance.stoneCandidateGenerator_translate`: for a domain-aware
+spectral theorem `D : DomainAwareSelfAdjointSpectralTheorem T μS`, the operator `T` commutes with
+the unitary group `D.expUnitaryGroup` it generates — `D.expUnitaryGroup s` preserves `T.domain`
+and `T` commutes with it there. Combined with the `U`-side lemma, this is exactly the missing
+ingredient an ODE-uniqueness argument identifying an abstract strongly continuous unitary group
+with the spectral-integral group of its own generator would need on both sides (see
+`Existence/STONE_GENERATOR_EXISTENCE_PLAN.md`, milestone M5).
+
+The proof is the same "shift the known derivative-at-`s`" argument `expUnitaryGroup_hasDerivAt`
+itself already uses internally, applied once more: differentiability of `t ↦ D.expUnitaryGroup t x`
+at `t = s` is exactly differentiability of `t ↦ D.expUnitaryGroup t (D.expUnitaryGroup s x)` at
+`t = 0`, via the group law `D.expUnitaryGroup t (D.expUnitaryGroup s x) = D.expUnitaryGroup (t + s)
+x`.

+# Scalar and diagonal measures of a weak spectral measure
+
+Testing `μS : WOTSpectralMeasure α H` against a pair of vectors `x, y : H` gives a complex
+*scalar* measure `S ↦ ⟪y, μS S x⟫`, and testing against a single vector `x` on the diagonal
+gives a positive, finite `Measure α`, `x`'s *diagonal* measure `S ↦ ‖μS S x‖² = re ⟪x, μS S x⟫`.
+These are the measure-theoretic inputs to the bounded spectral integral built in
+`BoundedIntegral.lean`; they are recorded here first, on their own, because the extensionality
+principle `ext_of_scalarMeasure_eq` below — a weak spectral measure is determined by all of its
+scalar matrix-coefficient measures — is the basic uniqueness tool used throughout the rest of
+this development.

+# The operator-to-spectrum interface
+
+This is a purely Hilbert-space-level treatment: it deliberately omits the algebra-parametrized
+layer (`ConcreteAffiliatedObservable`, `RepresentedAffiliatedObservable`, `AffiliationBridge`,
+`FaithfulAffiliationBridge`, and the `SelfAdjointSpectralData`/`EssentialSelfAdjointSpectralData`
+endpoint), which is out of scope for this development.
+
+## Essential self-adjointness and closure
+
+For a core operator `T`, essential self-adjointness is precisely the assertion that the canonical
+graph closure `T.closure` is self-adjoint. Keeping this as a small data structure
+(`SelfAdjointClosureData`) gives concrete constructions (the oscillator, multiplication operators,
+and later Schrödinger operators) one common entry point without smuggling a spectral measure into
+the definition.
+
+## The domain-aware boundary
+
+`SelfAdjointSpectralTheorem` deliberately records only the weak identity-integral law
+(`IsWeakSpectralResolution`). That law is enough for matrix-element reconstruction on the given
+domain, but it does not say which vectors belong to the domain. The latter is the square-moment
+condition (`spectralSquareMomentDomain`) and must be stated separately before an equality of
+unbounded operators can be claimed; `DomainAwareSelfAdjointSpectralTheorem` records both.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `SelfAdjointClosureData` : essential self-adjointness of a core, and the uniqueness of its
+  self-adjoint closure.
+- `IsWeakSpectralResolution` : the weak matrix-element reconstruction law `⟪y, T x⟫ = ∫ λ dμS`.
+- `SelfAdjointSpectralTheorem` : self-adjointness plus weak reconstruction against a spectral
+  measure, and its transport `unitaryConj` along a Hilbert-space unitary.
+- `DomainAwareSelfAdjointSpectralTheorem` : the same, plus the exact domain identification with
+  the square-moment domain of the spectral measure; exposes the generated
+  `expUnitaryGroup : StrongUnitaryOneParameterGroup H`.

+/-! ### Resolvent values of the maximal realization
+
+The range statements above show that the two shifted maximal realizations are onto.  The
+following sharpen them to an actual value formula for their partial inverses.  This is the
+operator-level form of the bounded Borel identities
+
+`(λ + i)⁻¹ (λ + i) = 1` and `(λ - i)⁻¹ (λ - i) = 1`.
+
+These lemmas are intentionally stated for `LinearPMap.inverse`: they do not introduce a second
+unbounded-operator hierarchy, and they are exactly what the Cayley adapter needs when converting
+between a self-adjoint operator and its bounded unitary transform. -/

+/-! ### Uniqueness of the domain-aware realization
+
+The next theorem is the reusable endpoint of the PVM layer.  It says that a self-adjoint partial
+operator whose matrix elements are reconstructed by a real PVM is necessarily the canonical
+square-moment realization of that PVM.  The proof is deliberately here, rather than in a Cayley
+adapter: Cayley, multiplication operators, and later concrete models can all use the same
+domain-identification theorem.

+# A `{0,1}`-valued, boundedly supported `WOTSpectralMeasure` is a point mass
+
+Stage one of the missing piece flagged in `Irreducible.lean`'s `key` lemma: a boundedly σ-additive
+`{0,1}`-valued Borel measure on `ℝ` is a Dirac point mass. Built by bisecting the bounded support
+interval, always keeping the half with measure `1`, and taking the (real-number) limit of the
+resulting nested interval endpoints.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `WOTSpectralMeasure.exists_forall_notMem_measure_eq_zero` : given a bounded support and a
+  `{0,1}`-valued measure, there is a point `r` such that every measurable set avoiding `r` has
+  measure `0`.

+# The strongly continuous unitary group generated by a real spectral measure
+
+Given `μS : WOTSpectralMeasure ℝ H`, exponentiating the bounded multiplier `x ↦ exp(itx)` against
+`μS` (via `boundedIntegral`, `BoundedIntegral.lean`) produces, for each real `t`, a unitary
+`expIntegral μS t = exp(itT) : H →WOT[ℂ] H` — "the unitary group generated by `μS`'s self-adjoint
+operator", without ever needing to construct the (generally unbounded) operator `T` itself. The
+group law `expIntegral μS (t + s) = expIntegral μS t * expIntegral μS s` follows from
+`boundedIntegral_mul` and `exp(i(t+s)x) = exp(itx)·exp(isx)`; strong continuity in `t` follows
+from the vector-state norm-square identity (`boundedIntegral_norm_sq_eq_integral`) and dominated
+convergence.
+
+This packages exactly the representation-level half of Stone's theorem — "a (bounded, exponential)
+spectral integral gives rise to a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group" — as
+`StrongUnitaryOneParameterGroup` and `expUnitaryGroup`. The converse direction (every strongly
+continuous one-parameter unitary group arises this way, from the spectral measure of its
+generator) is the remaining content of Stone's theorem; it needs the unbounded spectral theorem
+itself to produce the generator's spectral measure in the first place, and is not built here.

+# Unbounded spectral theory: consolidation plan
+
+## Decision
+
+Keep `WOTSpectralMeasure` and the domain-aware spectral-integral construction as the canonical
+unbounded layer.  They already express strictly more of the information needed by applications
+than a resolvent-only or bounded-Borel presentation: in particular, they retain the exact maximal
+square-moment domain of an unbounded observable.
+
+The linked `adambornemann-glitch/Spectra` development is valuable as a source of proof
+organization and as an independent validation of the Cayley route.  It must not be imported or
+copied as a second public operator/PVM hierarchy.  Its `ProjValMeasure` and this project's
+`WOTSpectralMeasure` overlap substantially but make different representation choices.  The
+existing local type already carries weak-operator countable additivity and supports the bounded
+and unbounded integrals used below.
+
+The right common abstraction is nevertheless real and should be introduced before either the
+abstract JBW Borel calculus or further concrete unbounded façades.  It is **not** a Hilbert-space
+operator-valued measure.
+
+```text
+MeasurableProjectionResolution α J
+  E : measurable sets of α → projections of J
+  E(∅) = 0, E(univ) = 1, E(S ∩ T) = E(S) * E(T)
+  E(⋃ₙ Sₙ) = supₙ E(Sₙ)                 (disjoint measurable family)
+```
+
+Here the last equality is order convergence in a monotone-complete ordered Jordan algebra.  This
+interface is now implemented as `MeasurableProjectionResolution` in
+`JordanOrderUnit/ProjectionResolution.lean`: it is an extension of the existing
+`EffectValuedMeasure`, adding Jordan idempotence and the intersection-product law without
+duplicating countable additivity.  Its JBW companion supplies normal-state scalar probability
+laws and the separating-family extensionality theorem.  The interface is deliberately independent
+of Hilbert spaces, complex scalars, Cayley maps, or an unbounded operator domain.
+
+`WOTSpectralMeasure α H` is then a **concrete realization target**, not the generic definition:
+its values are weak-operator projections on a Hilbert space and its vector-measure countable
+additivity proves the generic projection-resolution laws.  Spectra's `ProjValMeasure` has the
+same role, but is not imported because it is another Hilbert-special carrier.
+
+## What exists here
+
+```text
+WOTSpectralMeasure α H
+  ├─ boundedIntegral: bounded measurable calculus
+  ├─ maximalSpectralIntegral: unbounded measurable calculus
+  ├─ spectralSquareMomentDomain: exact operator domain
+  └─ Cayley map/inverse map
+
+bounded normal CFC spectral data
+  └─ cayleyRealSpectralMeasure
+       └─ DomainAwareSelfAdjointSpectralTheorem T μ
+            ├─ T.domain = spectralSquareMomentDomain μ
+            ├─ maximal spectral integral realizes T
+            └─ expUnitaryGroup and the domain-aware Stone API
+```
+
+The public self-adjoint endpoint is `unboundedSpectralTheorem`; the reusable uniqueness endpoint
+is the maximal-spectral-integral characterization in `SpectralIntegral/SpecTheorem.lean`.
+
+## What Spectra contributes conceptually
+
+Spectra's Cayley development isolates a useful three-stage proof spine:
+
+```text
+self-adjoint LinearPMap
+  → bounded unitary Cayley transform
+  → bounded continuous/Borel calculus
+  → pushforward along the inverse Cayley map
+  → spectral theorem and Stone group
+```
+
+This project already implements the same mathematical route, but with a stronger final package:
+the inverse-Cayley measure is tied to the square-moment domain and then to a maximal unbounded
+integral.  That extra domain equality must remain the non-negotiable boundary.  A weak integral
+identity alone cannot identify an unbounded operator.
+
+The directly reusable *ideas*, not a duplicate API, are:
+
+1. Treat the Cayley transform as the bounded-normal gateway and keep all Borel work downstream
+   of it.
+2. State uniqueness through scalarization: diagonal/resolvent data determine the PVM by complex
+   polarization and Cauchy-transform injectivity.
+3. Keep bounded calculus, unbounded measurable calculus, and the Stone-generator theorem as
+   separate vertical slices.
+4. Expose a compact public resolvent API only after proving it agrees with the spectral
+   multiplier; do not make applications reconstruct domain witnesses.
+
+## Consolidation slices
+
+### U1 — make the existing public spectral theorem easy to consume
+
+Add a focused façade module with only these exports:
+
+- the canonical measure supplied by `unboundedSpectralTheorem`;
+- the exact domain equivalence;
+- the coordinate reconstruction theorem;
+- the non-real resolvent multiplier formula;
+- the bounded measurable calculus and its continuous restriction.
+
+This is packaging only: no new spectral representation is defined.
+
+### U2 — measurable functional calculus as a domain-aware construction
+
+For a measurable `f : ℝ → ℂ`, make the domain
+
+```text
+{x | ∫ ‖f(λ)‖² dμ_x(λ) < ∞}
+```
+
+the public domain of `f(T)`, prove agreement with `maximalSpectralIntegral`, and provide the
+bounded specialization through `boundedIntegral`.  The coordinate function recovers `T`.
+
+### U3 — resolvent façade
+
+Specialize U2 to `(λ - z)⁻¹` for `Im z ≠ 0`.  Prove the inverse/range formula once and package a
+canonical bounded operator.  This is where the concise Cayley/resolvent presentation used by
+Spectra is useful, but the proof must go through the local maximal-integral domain theorem.
+
+### U4 — Stone equivalence
+
+Use the established `expUnitaryGroup` and its differentiability/domain API to state the exact
+operator-level Stone theorem: the group generated by the spectral measure has generator `iT` on
+precisely `T.domain`.  Keep construction from a given self-adjoint operator distinct from the
+converse construction of a generator from an arbitrary strongly continuous unitary group.
+
+### U5 — JBW connection
+
+Only after the abstract JB Stage C exact-cone and positive-root results are complete, define
+`MeasurableProjectionResolution` and the **bounded** JBW Borel calculus by simple functions and
+monotone completion.  Its universal laws are addition, multiplication on each one-observable
+commutative sector, positivity, and normal-state scalarization.  The Hilbert-space
+`WOTSpectralMeasure` development is then the concrete special-JBW realization, not an import of
+operator/Cstar facts into abstract Jordan theory.
+
+Unbounded measurable functions are a separate, represented/affiliated-operator layer: their
+domains are square-integrability domains of scalarized spectral measures.  That construction is
+meaningful for a Hilbert representation, but not for a bare JBW algebra; it must therefore sit
+above the bounded JBW calculus rather than distort the JBW core.
+
+## Boundaries to preserve
+
+- No second `ProjValMeasure` type in PhyslibAlpha.
+- No Cstar import into the abstract `JordanOrderUnit/JB` or `JBW` layers.
+- No claim that a weak reconstruction formula determines an unbounded operator without the
+  square-moment-domain equality.
+- No reverse normality-transport theorem until its directed-set domain is matched exactly.
+- No unbounded calculus API with arbitrary functions unless its domain/integrability condition is
+  explicit.
+- The Cayley transform is a complex Hilbert/operator realization technique, not an abstract-JBW
+  primitive.  Abstract JBW spectral theory proceeds from order suprema and projections; Cayley
+  is used only to construct or compare its concrete special realization.

+Builds, from a bounded unitary `U`'s continuous functional calculus, the real-valued spectral
+scalar measures `cfcScalarMeasure`/`polarizedCfcScalarMeasure` via the Riesz-Markov-Kakutani
+theorem and polarization, proves their (sesqui)linearity and boundedness, and assembles them into
+`cfcSesquilinearForm`. Continued in `UnitaryInfra/SpectralMeasure.lean`, which turns this
+form into the projection-valued `cfcSpectralMeasure`.
+
+This file proves, for any bounded normal operator `U` on a complex Hilbert space, the
+continuous-functional-calculus construction of its weak-operator spectral measure
+(`WOTSpectralMeasure.cfcSpectralMeasure` and friends, completed in `SpectralMeasure.lean`) — the
+existence half of the bounded spectral theorem that `Cayley/Certificate.lean`'s
+`BoundedNormalSpectralData` and `BoundedUnitarySpectralData` interfaces record the shape of.

+/-! ## Step D: `E(S)` is a star-projection
+
+The idempotency proof follows the order/regularity route.  We do not approximate indicator
+functions by a sequence and then multiply weak limits.  Instead, the scalar-measure quadratic
+form first gives positivity, monotonicity, and the contraction bound for `E(S)`.  For a compact
+`K`, a Urysohn function supported in an open `V ⊇ K` gives an order sandwich
+`E(K) ≤ f(U) ≤ E(V)`.  The positive-contraction estimate above converts the resulting quadratic
+form bounds into vector-norm bounds.  Outer regularity of the finite measure
+`μ_x + μ_{E(K)x}` then proves compact-set idempotence by an epsilon argument.  Inner regularity
+of `μ_x + μ_{E(S)x}` extends this to arbitrary measurable `S`.  Set multiplicativity is derived
+afterwards from finite additivity and orthogonality of projections on disjoint sets.

+
+Everything above builds `cfcSpectralMeasure` as the genuine Borel/PVM spectral measure of the
+normal operator `U`.  This section shows that every spectral projection commutes with anything
+that commutes with `U` (and its adjoint) — the fact needed to run Schur's lemma with genuine
+spectral (rather than merely continuous-functional-calculus) projections.  The key input is
+Mathlib's `Commute.cfcHom`, which gives commutation with `cfcHom hU g` for every *continuous*
+`g`; the commutation is transported to arbitrary measurable sets via the Riesz–Markov measure
+uniqueness already used throughout this file
+(`MeasureTheory.Measure.ext_of_integral_eq_on_compactlySupported`), using that a unitary
+intertwiner preserves the defining vector-state functional. -/

+# The vector-measure integral against a scalar matrix coefficient
+
+`boundedIntegral` computes the operator `∫ f dμS` and then pairs it against test vectors; this
+file records that, for a *bounded* multiplier, testing first and integrating second gives the
+same answer: `⟪y, (∫ f dμS) x⟫ = ∫ f d(μS.scalarMeasure x y)`, where the right-hand side is
+Mathlib's `VectorMeasure.integral` against the complex scalar measure `μS.scalarMeasure x y`
+(`ScalarMeasure.lean`). That identity, `boundedIntegralOfUniformApprox_inner`, is what lets
+`weakIntegral`/`complexWeakIntegral` be defined directly as ordinary vector-measure integrals of
+possibly-*unbounded* multipliers `f` — the weak statement of the eventual unbounded reconstruction
+law `T = ∫ λ dE(λ)`, testable on a single pair of vectors without needing `f(T)` itself to be a
+bounded (or even densely-defined) operator on all of `H`.

+# Jordan order-unit spaces
+
+## i. Overview
+
+This is the next rung above `OrderUnit`, per the architecture
+
+`AOU → JordanOrderUnit → JB → JBW (later)`.
+
+An order-unit space only remembers `≤` and `1`. Quantum observables carry one more
+piece of structure that is *not* the full associative operator product (which loses
+self-adjointness for non-commuting `a`, `b`): the Jordan product `a ∘ b`, a commutative,
+generally non-associative multiplication satisfying the weak-associativity Jordan identity. This
+file adds the minimal compatibility condition: every square is a possible outcome,
+`0 ≤ a ∘ a`. In the operator picture `a ∘ a = a²`, and
+`⟨ψ, a²ψ⟩ = ‖aψ‖² ≥ 0` is the reason variances are never negative. Identifying *every* positive
+element with a square is deliberately not assumed here; that is a stronger spectral theorem of
+the JB layer.
+
+We do not redefine Jordan algebras: `IsCommJordan` and the surrounding non-unital, non-associative
+commutative ring axioms are exactly mathlib's `Mathlib.Algebra.Jordan.Basic`, together with the
+real-linearity hypotheses (`Module ℝ E`, `SMulCommClass`, `IsScalarTower`) that its own module
+docstring already names as the standard setting for a *real* Jordan algebra. This file only adds
+this one order-compatibility axiom.

+# Jordan-intrinsic compatibility of observables
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The physical notion of two observables being "compatible" (jointly measurable, simultaneously
+sharp) should not need the C⋆-commutator to state — that commutator does not exist at the bare
+Jordan level, and defining compatibility via it would put the cart before the horse (compatibility
+is exactly the *classical*, commuting fragment of the theory, the fragment that should not need the
+full C⋆ apparatus to talk about). The standard Jordan-algebraic substitute is **operator
+commutativity**: `a` and `b` are Jordan-compatible when their multiplication operators commute,
+`L_a ∘ L_b = L_b ∘ L_a`.
+
+`CStarAlgebra/JordanCompatibility.lean` shows this is no idle abstraction: for `a`, `b` self-adjoint
+elements of a C⋆-algebra that already commute in the ordinary associative sense (`ab = ba`), `L_a`
+and `L_b` commute as Jordan operators too — so every associatively-compatible pair of observables
+is automatically Jordan-compatible, recovering the expected physics. The converse (Jordan
+compatibility implies associative commutativity) is *not* claimed here; it is a separate, harder
+question left open.
+
+A genuinely stronger notion — that `a` and `b` *jointly generate an associative Jordan subalgebra*,
+giving a two-observable joint functional calculus — needs a two-generator analogue of
+`Power/GeneratedByOne.lean` and, in turn, a two-variable strengthening of
+`Power/Associative.lean`'s open power-associativity theorem. That is real, disconnected future
+work, not attempted here (see `JB_ROADMAP.md` item 10).

+# Conditioning a state by a Jordan projection

+assigns nonzero probability to `p`, the normalized functional
+

+# Covariance, and positivity of the covariance matrix
+
+## i. Overview
+
+At the bare order-unit level, a state only sees first moments, `ω(a)`. The Jordan
+product is exactly what supplies second moments, `ω(a ∘ b)`, and hence a genuine symmetric
+covariance
+$$ \operatorname{Cov}_\omega(a, b) = \omega(a \circ b) - \omega(a)\,\omega(b), $$
+specializing to the variance already defined in `Observable.lean` on the diagonal,
+`Var_ω(a) = Cov_ω(a, a)`. In the canonical C⋆-algebra realization (`CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean`,
+`a ∘ b = ½(ab+ba)`) this is exactly the usual symmetrized quantum covariance
+`½⟨AB+BA⟩_ρ - ⟨A⟩_ρ⟨B⟩_ρ`.
+
+The point of building this at the Jordan level rather than waiting for the full associative
+product: positivity of Jordan squares (`sq_nonneg`) is *exactly* enough to prove that every
+covariance matrix `Γᵢⱼ = Cov_ω(aᵢ, aⱼ)` of a finite family of observables is positive
+semidefinite, `Γ ⪰ 0` — apply `moment_two_nonneg` to the single observable
+`x = ∑ᵢ cᵢ (aᵢ - ω(aᵢ) 1)` and expand `ω(x ∘ x)` bilinearly. This is the Jordan-algebraic core of
+uncertainty theory (variance nonnegativity, Cauchy–Schwarz-type consequences for covariance); the
+genuinely non-Jordan remainder, the antisymmetric commutator piece `ω([a,b])/2i` of the *full*
+(non-symmetrized) product, is deliberately left to the C⋆/Lie layer
+(`StarAlgebra/Lie.lean`) — see the module docstring there for the split
+`ω((a-ω(a))(b-ω(b))) = Cov_ω(a,b) + ½ω([a,b])`.

+# Exceptional Jordan / Albert implementation roadmap
+
+## Objective
+
+Formalize the genuine exceptional Euclidean Jordan algebra
+`H₃(𝕆)` as a canonical PhyslibAlpha Jordan model, beginning with the generalized octonion
+coordinate algebra and ending with its finite-dimensional trace/determinant and ordered-JB
+realization.  This is not a Cstar specialization: its purpose is precisely to cover the
+exceptional non-special case.
+
+## Already owned
+
+- `Algebra/Alternative.lean`: associators, Teichmüller, alternation, flexibility, Moufang, and
+  McCrimmon left bumping.
+- `Algebra/NuclearInvolution.lean`: nuclei, nuclear slipping, star/associator replacement, and
+  commutation of nuclear elements with associator values.
+- `JordanOrderUnit/FiniteRank.lean`: rank/trace/determinant and density-observable interface.
+- `JordanOrderUnit/StructureAlgebra.lean`: Jordan derivation and Lie-symmetry interface.
+
+## Mandatory dependency chain
+
+1. `Algebra/Octonion.lean`
+   - Generalized Cayley--Dickson `Octonion R a b c` over a commutative star-trivial base.
+   - Additive/module/ring/star structures, scalar embedding, conjugation, scalar norm, and
+     proved `IsAlternative` and `IsNuclearInvolution` instances.
+   - Specialize later to `R = ℝ`, `a = b = c = -1`; do not install a fake normed/JB instance.
+
+2. `Algebra/OctonionMatrix.lean`
+   - Matrix multiplication over octonions and the Hermitian subtype.
+   - Diagonal-real and off-diagonal-conjugacy API.  No associative-matrix lemmas may be reused
+     without an explicit associativity hypothesis.
+
+3. `JordanOrderUnit/Exceptional/HermitianMatrixIdentity.lean`
+   - Matrix associator formulae for Hermitian `3 × 3` octonionic matrices.
+   - Use the nuclear-involution and left-bumping theorems to prove closure of the symmetrized
+     product and the Jordan identity.  This is the central exceptional theorem.
+
+4. `JordanOrderUnit/Exceptional/Albert.lean`
+   - Define `AlbertAlgebra := HermitianOctonionMatrix (Fin 3)`.
+   - Provide `NonAssocCommRing`, real module/scalar compatibility, and `IsCommJordan` from the
+     central identity; expose the three real diagonal coordinates and three octonionic
+     off-diagonal coordinates (hence a real dimension-27 free-module basis after specializing
+     to `ℝ`).
+   - Define rank `3`, generic trace, and Moore determinant, then instantiate `TraceDeterminant`.
+
+5. `JordanOrderUnit/Exceptional/Euclidean.lean`
+   - Establish the positive cone, order unit, Euclidean Jordan norm, and the explicit
+     `IsJBOrderUnit` compatibility theorem.
+   - Only after this stage may Albert enter the JB spectral/CFC development.  The finite-
+     dimensional JBW layer must be proved from the finite-dimensional order topology and normal
+     state separation; it is a consequence, not an assumed instance.
+
+## Non-negotiable proof gates
+
+- No `sorry`, `admit`, or new axioms.
+- No import of Cobord's parallel `JordanAlgebra` class or `HermitianJordan` hierarchy.
+- The Albert Jordan identity must be a theorem, not a typeclass field supplied as an assumption.
+- The order-unit norm equality must be proved at the Euclidean realization stage; square
+  positivity alone is insufficient.
+- Every stage passes `lake build PhyslibAlpha`, project linters, import-boundary checking, and
+  `git diff --check`.
+
+## Explicit non-goals until the chain is complete
+
+- Copying real/complex/quaternionic matrix wrappers that duplicate Cstar self-adjoint models.
+- Claiming an Albert CFC, JB, or JBW instance before the respective norm/order theorem exists.
+- Treating generalized octonions as associative.

+# Cobord/JordanAlgebra reuse audit
+
+Audited against `Cobord/JordanAlgebra` commit `8dd1d6719cb4c5e275ed7ae578bbec5574a64a39`
+(2026-08-24), using its Lean 4.31 source. PhyslibAlpha uses Lean 4.33 and has a deliberately
+different hierarchy, so it is not a dependency or a source tree to vendor wholesale.
+
+## Adopted now
+
+`Examples/SpinFactor.lean` ports the physics-relevant algebraic core of
+`Jordan/SpinFactor.lean` into the canonical PhyslibAlpha interfaces:
+
+- the generic spin-factor carrier and product;
+- its unit, additive/module structure, commutative nonassociative-ring witness, and Jordan
+  identity for a symmetric bilinear form;
+- vector/scalar component API;
+- the rank-two determinant and quadratic Cayley--Hamilton identity.
+
+It is intentionally only a `NonAssocCommRing`/`IsCommJordan` model. A real positive-definite
+form has a Lorentz cone and a JB norm, but establishing that norm/order compatibility belongs to
+the later analytic realization file. Installing a fictitious `JBAlgebra` or order-unit instance
+here would violate the boundary repaired in B1.
+
+`StructureAlgebra.lean` ports the reusable symmetry layer at the same generality as the
+canonical real Jordan core:
+
+- a bundled `JordanDerivation` carrier, proved to be a real vector space and Lie algebra under
+  commutator;
+- the fact that every derivation fixes the unit;
+- bundled inner derivations and their proved commutator law.
+
+This exposes infinitesimal reversible dynamics to concrete models (including the spin factor)
+without creating a second multiplication-operator or Jordan-algebra hierarchy.
+
+`FiniteRank.lean` transfers the finite-rank trace/determinant interface without conflating it
+with the general order-unit or JBW state spaces:
+
+- rank, generic trace, and homogeneous determinant data;
+- density observables as the trace-one slice of Mathlib's canonical sum-of-squares cone;
+- pure density observables, expectation functionals, and proved square-weighted mixing laws.
+
+`Algebra/Alternative.lean` is the foundational exceptional-model transfer: it supplies the
+alternative associator calculus, Teichmüller identity, flexible and left Moufang laws, and
+McCrimmon's left bumping formula.  This is the correct common layer below octonions and the
+Albert algebra; matrix-model code is intentionally not duplicated before that coordinate algebra
+and its order/norm realization exist.
+
+The executable exceptional dependency order and proof gates are recorded in
+`EXCEPTIONAL_ALBERT_ROADMAP.md`.
+
+## Already present here at a stronger or more general level
+
+| External material | PhyslibAlpha owner | Decision |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `JordanAlgebra.lean`: powers, multiplication operators, linearized identity | `JordanOrderUnit/Operator.lean`, `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean` | Do not duplicate. Our `mulLeft_triple_normalize`, polarizations, and quadratic API are the canonical real-Jordan formulation. |
+| `JordanTriple.lean` | `Quadratic/Triple.lean` | Do not duplicate; ours identifies the triple operation with the canonical bilinear quadratic representation. |
+| `StructureAlgebra.lean`: derivations and inner derivations | `StructureAlgebra.lean`, `Algebra/Derivation.lean`, `JB/Dynamics.lean`, `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean` | The bundled carrier/Lie layer is ported; raw predicate, generator, and inner-derivation theorems remain at their existing canonical owners. |
+| `FormallyReal.lean`: square-sum consequences | `JB/Basic.lean`, `JB/Order.lean` | Do not duplicate. The JB layer derives formal reality and the stronger exact positive-cone theorem. |
+| real/complex/quaternionic Hermitian models | `CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` and Hilbert/Cstar realization layers | Retain the canonical self-adjoint Cstar realization. Porting finite matrices would create a parallel specialization and add no abstract physics capability. |
+
+## Deliberately deferred concrete realizations
+
+The following are worthwhile *only after* their analytic/order data is stated at the right level:
+
+1. **Finite-dimensional Euclidean spin factors.** Add the Lorentz cone, Euclidean JB norm,
+   state space, and symmetries as a realization of the newly ported algebraic model.
+2. **Exceptional Albert algebra.** Cobord's octonion/Hermitian-matrix development is a valuable
+   future finite-dimensional exceptional observable model. It depends on a substantial
+   alternative-algebra, nuclear-involution, and Moore-determinant stack. Port it as a separate
+   `Exceptional/Albert` realization after a compatibility audit; it must not leak octonionic
+   multiplication into abstract JB/CFC/JBW files.
+
+## Not imported
+
+No external source is imported and no external axioms are used. This preserves a single
+Mathlib/toolchain graph, prevents duplicate Jordan classes, and keeps every transferred theorem
+under PhyslibAlpha's proof and lint gates.

+# The free special Jordan algebra on two generators
+
+Let `A₂ = FreeAlgebra ℝ (Fin 2)`.  Mathlib's `SymAlg A₂` is its normalized Jordanization,
+with product `x ∘ y = (xy + yx)/2`.  The free special Jordan algebra on two generators is the
+Jordan fragment of that symmetrization generated by the two canonical free-associative letters.
+
+This is only the concrete special side of Shirshov--Cohn.  It deliberately does not claim that
+the abstract free Jordan algebra maps injectively here (Shirshov), nor that every quotient remains
+special (Cohn); those are the two distinct hard theorems to be formalized above this object.

+# Normed Jordan algebras and JB-algebras
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`JBAlgebra` is the analytic Banach refinement of a normed Jordan algebra. It deliberately has no
+chosen order: square positivity does not stop a larger proper cone from changing the order-unit
+norm. `IsJBOrderUnit` is the separate ordered refinement, asserting that a chosen order-unit cone
+does induce the given norm. The classical norm package is exactly what a
+"JB-algebra" (Jordan–Banach algebra satisfying the extra JB axiom) means in the literature
+(Alfsen–Shultz, *State Spaces of Operator Algebras*; Hanche-Olsen–Størmer, *Jordan Operator
+Algebras*, Def. 3.1.1 combined with the equivalent-axiom discussion around Prop. 3.3.6). Several
+equivalent axiom sets are documented there; we fix the classical three-axiom one, since it is the
+one that transfers most directly from the C⋆-algebra norm identity in the canonical realization
+(`CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean`):
+
+- `‖a ∘ b‖ ≤ ‖a‖ ‖b‖` — the product is submultiplicative;
+- `‖a ∘ a‖ = ‖a‖ ^ 2` — squares realize the norm exactly (the "B*-condition" for Jordan algebras);
+- `‖a ∘ a‖ ≤ ‖a ∘ a + b ∘ b‖` — monotonicity on sums of squares.
+
+This alone does not identify an independently supplied cone with the JB cone. Accordingly,
+`IsJBOrderUnit.norm_eq_orderUnitNorm` is an explicit ordered compatibility field, not a theorem
+claimed from square positivity.
+
+The data-carrying class `NormedJordanAlgebra` packages the additive, multiplicative, scalar, and
+metric structures coherently. This avoids the instance diamonds caused by separately requesting
+`NonAssocCommRing`, `NormedAddCommGroup`, `Module`, and `NormedSpace`. `JBAlgebra` is then the
+complete analytic refinement: a JB-algebra is genuinely Banach, while incomplete normed Jordan
+algebras retain an honest separate name.

+# Single-generator JB analysis
+
+The authoritative architecture and global milestones are in
+[`../JB_ROADMAP.md`](../JB_ROADMAP.md). This note records only the local state of the
+single-generator analytic construction.
+
+## Implemented
+
+```text
+Jordan powers
+    -> power-associativity
+    -> algebraic generatedByOne a
+    -> CommRing / Algebra ℝ structure
+    -> closedGeneratedByOne a
+    -> NormedRing / NormedAlgebra ℝ / CompleteSpace
+    -> jordanSpectrum a
+    -> compactness of jordanSpectrum a
+    -> uniform square norm and exact powers-of-two norm growth
+```
+
+The closure and all analytic structure are abstract in a coherent `NormedJordanAlgebra`; ambient
+completeness is requested only for the complete-space instance. The spectrum is canonically the
+ordinary real-algebra spectrum of the bundled generator inside its closed generated algebra.
+
+## Remaining
+
+1. Establish the JB-specific spectral facts not true for an arbitrary real Banach algebra,
+   beginning with nonemptiness and the correct spectral-radius/norm relation. The square norm and
+   powers-of-two norm identities are now available in `Uniform.lean`.
+2. Implement one of the two sound routes isolated in `CFC_AUDIT.md`: a real uniform-algebra
+   representation theorem, or a named complexification proved to be a commutative Cstar algebra.
+3. Construct a bundled unital isometric homomorphism
+   `C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ) -> ClosedGeneratedByOne a`.
+4. Prove that it sends the coordinate function to the generator and is onto.
+5. Derive continuous functions of `a`, then `abs`, positive/negative parts, and positive square
+   roots.
+
+There is deliberately no placeholder CFC declaration. In particular, no arbitrary set may be
+passed in as “the spectrum,” and no theorem in this layer may be supplied by a new axiom.

+Audit: abstract one-generator continuous functional calculus
+
+This is a code audit of the Mathlib version pinned by this repository, performed
+on 2026-09-11. It concerns an abstract real JB-algebra E and
+NormedJordanAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne a, not a chosen Cstar realization.
+
+Present local infrastructure
+
+Closed.lean already performs the essential algebraic reduction needed for a
+one-generator Jordan continuous functional calculus:
+
+variable {E : Type*} [NormedJordanAlgebra E] (a : E)
+NormedJordanAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne a : Type _
+-- instances: CommRing, Algebra ℝ, NormedRing, NormedAlgebra ℝ
+-- under [CompleteSpace E]:
+instance : CompleteSpace (NormedJordanAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne a)
+
+Although the ambient Jordan algebra is nonassociative, the closed algebra
+generated by a single element is an ordinary commutative associative real
+Banach algebra. This is the correct place to construct the CFC.
+
+The canonical spectrum is already defined intrinsically:
+
+NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum a : Set ℝ :=
+  spectrum ℝ (NormedJordanAlgebra.closedGenerator a)
+NormedJordanAlgebra.isCompact_jordanSpectrum
+  [CompleteSpace E] (a : E) :
+  IsCompact (NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum a)
+
+Thus neither an arbitrary compact set nor an ambient Cstar representation is
+needed to state the result.
+
+The desired theorem is intrinsically
+
+C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ)  ≃  ClosedGeneratedByOne a
+
+as an isometric real algebra isomorphism sending the coordinate function to
+closedGenerator a.
+
+What Mathlib already provides
+
+Mathlib.Analysis.Normed.Algebra.Spectrum contains substantial spectrum
+infrastructure for complete normed algebras, not only Cstar algebras. In
+particular it provides the ordinary spectrum and resolvent, compactness and
+closedness results, the estimate
+
+spectrum ℝ x ⊆ closedBall 0 ‖x‖
+
+and the abstract spectralRadius, with
+
+spectralRadius ≤ ‖x‖.
+
+The important limitation is that the stronger Gelfand formula is separated
+into Mathlib.Analysis.Normed.Algebra.GelfandFormula and is currently a theorem
+for complex Banach algebras. Mathlib itself documents this distinction:
+Spectrum.lean contains the generic Banach-algebra theory, whereas theorems
+specific to complex Banach algebras, including Gelfand’s formula, live in
+GelfandFormula.lean. (Lean Community)
+
+Mathlib also has infrastructure for relating scalar-field spectra through
+
+SpectrumRestricts
+QuasispectrumRestricts
+
+including the important ℂ → ℝ case. This is useful when a complex spectrum
+is already known to be real, but it does not by itself prove that an abstract
+real JB element has the required real spectral properties. (Lean Community)
+
+The approximation side of the desired construction is already particularly
+strong. Mathlib.Topology.ContinuousMap.StoneWeierstrass proves directly that,
+for compact s : Set ℝ,
+
+theorem polynomialFunctions.topologicalClosure (s : Set ℝ) [CompactSpace ↑s] :
+  (polynomialFunctions s).topologicalClosure = ⊤
+
+so real polynomial functions are dense in C(s, ℝ). It also contains
+continuous-algebra-hom extensionality from the coordinate function. (Lean Community)
+
+Mathlib.Topology.ContinuousMap.Polynomial already supplies the canonical
+continuous polynomial functions on a compact subset of ℝ, including
+Polynomial.toContinuousMapOnAlgHom. (Lean Community)
+
+Therefore the approximation/completion half of the Jordan CFC does not need to
+be developed from scratch.
+
+Why generic CFC and Cstar Gelfand duality are not the right construction
+
+Mathlib’s generic CFC interface in
+Mathlib.Analysis.CStarAlgebra.ContinuousFunctionalCalculus.Unital is a
+specification mechanism:
+
+class ContinuousFunctionalCalculus
+    (R A : Type*) (p : outParam (A → Prop)) : Prop where
+  exists_cfc_of_predicate :
+    ∀ a, p a →
+      ∃ φ : C(spectrum R a, R) →⋆ₐ[R] A,
+        Continuous φ ∧ Function.Injective φ ∧
+        φ ((ContinuousMap.id R).restrict (spectrum R a)) = a ∧
+        (∀ f, spectrum R (φ f) = Set.range f) ∧
+        ∀ f, p (φ f)
+class IsometricContinuousFunctionalCalculus ...
+  extends ContinuousFunctionalCalculus R A p where
+  isometric (a : A) (ha : p a) : Isometry (cfcHom ha)
+
+This interface assumes the CFC exists and provides a selected cfcHom; it is
+not a theorem deriving a CFC from
+
+CommRing + CompleteSpace + NormedAlgebra.
+
+It also uses star-algebra language which is not the natural primitive structure
+of an abstract real JB algebra.
+
+Likewise, Mathlib’s gelfandStarTransform is a theorem for commutative complex
+Cstar algebras. The Cstar spectral theory additionally has spectral permanence
+and the equality of norm and spectral radius for self-adjoint elements, but
+those results depend on Cstar structure. (Lean Community)
+
+Using this machinery directly would therefore introduce a substantially
+stronger representation hypothesis than is needed.
+
+In particular, a general abstract JB algebra must not be forced through a
+chosen operator/Cstar realization merely to define its one-element functional
+calculus.
+
+Resolved spectral input
+
+The formerly missing ingredient was smaller and more precise than a general real Gelfand
+duality theorem. It is now proved intrinsically.
+
+For
+
+Aₐ := NormedJordanAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne a
+
+the delivered real JB spectral-radius theorem is:
+
+theorem NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum_nonempty (a : E) :
+    (jordanSpectrum a).Nonempty
+
+and, more importantly,
+
+theorem JBAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne.jordanSpectralRadius_eq_norm (x : Aₐ) :
+    spectralRadius ℝ x = ‖x‖₊
+
+where the right-hand side expresses
+
+max {|λ| : λ ∈ spectrum ℝ x}.
+
+Equivalently, after choosing the convenient Mathlib representation of
+spectralRadius, the theorem should state that the real spectral radius of
+x equals ‖x‖.
+
+Mathematically:
+
+‖x‖ = max_{λ ∈ σℝ(x)} |λ|.
+
+This is the genuine JB-specific spectral input.
+
+One must not try to derive this merely from the algebraic facts
+
+Aₐ is commutative,
+Aₐ is complete,
+‖x²‖ = ‖x‖².
+
+Those conditions alone do not force the spectrum over ℝ to be nonempty. For
+example, ℂ regarded as a real Banach algebra satisfies
+
+‖z²‖ = ‖z‖²
+
+but the real spectrum of i is empty.
+
+The order/formal-reality content of the JB axioms is therefore essential. The
+proved result is specifically a JB real spectral theorem, not a theorem about
+arbitrary real uniform Banach algebras.
+
+Shortest construction of the CFC
+
+Once the JB spectral theorem is available, the remaining construction is
+comparatively direct.
+
+Let
+
+Aₐ = ClosedGeneratedByOne a
+σ = jordanSpectrum a.
+
+1. Polynomial evaluation
+
+There is the canonical real algebra homomorphism
+
+Polynomial ℝ →ₐ[ℝ] Aₐ
+p ↦ p(a).
+
+There is also the existing Mathlib map
+
+Polynomial ℝ →ₐ[ℝ] C(σ, ℝ)
+p ↦ p|σ.
+
+The crucial lemma is
+
+theorem norm_aeval_closedGenerator
+    (p : Polynomial ℝ) :
+    ‖Polynomial.aeval (closedGenerator a) p‖ =
+      ‖p.toContinuousMapOn (jordanSpectrum a)‖
+
+i.e.
+
+‖p(a)‖ = sup_{λ ∈ σ(a)} |p(λ)|.
+
+This is obtained from:
+
+JB norm = real spectral radius
++
+polynomial spectral mapping.
+
+Indeed,
+
+‖p(a)‖
+  = rℝ(p(a))
+  = max {|μ| : μ ∈ σℝ(p(a))}
+  = max {|p(λ)| : λ ∈ σℝ(a)}
+  = ‖p|σ(a)‖∞.
+
+Exact real polynomial spectral mapping is now proved locally as
+`NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum_aeval`. Its corresponding total spectral-supremum
+norm forms are `nnnorm_aeval_closedGenerator` and `norm_aeval_closedGenerator`. The
+remaining step is to identify that supremum with Mathlib's norm of
+`p.toContinuousMapOn σ`, then extend the isometric polynomial map by density.
+
+2. Extend by density
+
+Mathlib already proves that polynomial functions are dense:
+
+polynomialFunctions.topologicalClosure (jordanSpectrum a) = ⊤
+
+because jordanSpectrum a is compact. (Lean Community)
+
+The polynomial evaluation map is an isometry by the previous step, so it
+extends uniquely from polynomial functions to
+
+C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ).
+
+This gives
+
+noncomputable def jordanCfcHom
+    (a : E) :
+    C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ) →ₐ[ℝ] ClosedGeneratedByOne a
+
+with
+
+theorem jordanCfcHom_isometry (a : E) :
+    Isometry (jordanCfcHom a)
+
+and
+
+theorem jordanCfcHom_id (a : E) :
+    jordanCfcHom a
+      ((ContinuousMap.id ℝ).restrict (jordanSpectrum a)) =
+        closedGenerator a
+
+3. Prove surjectivity from generatedness
+
+An isometry has closed range.
+
+The range of jordanCfcHom a contains the coordinate function and therefore
+contains every polynomial in closedGenerator a.
+
+But ClosedGeneratedByOne a is, by definition, the closure of precisely this
+polynomial algebra.
+
+Hence the closed range of jordanCfcHom a is all of
+ClosedGeneratedByOne a:
+
+theorem jordanCfcHom_range_eq_top (a : E) :
+    (jordanCfcHom a).range = ⊤
+
+Thus the final result is an isometric algebra equivalence
+
+C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ)
+    ≃ₐ[ℝ]
+ClosedGeneratedByOne a.
+
+No character space is needed.
+
+Target API
+
+The first public API should remain Jordan-native:
+
+namespace NormedJordanAlgebra
+noncomputable def jordanCfcHom
+    {E : Type*} [NormedJordanAlgebra E] [PartialOrder E]
+    [IsOrderedAddMonoid E] [IsArchimedeanOrderUnit E] [JBAlgebra E]
+    (a : E) :
+    C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ) →ₐ[ℝ] ClosedGeneratedByOne a
+theorem jordanCfcHom_isometry
+    {E : Type*} [NormedJordanAlgebra E] [PartialOrder E]
+    [IsOrderedAddMonoid E] [IsArchimedeanOrderUnit E] [JBAlgebra E]
+    (a : E) :
+    Isometry (jordanCfcHom a)
+theorem jordanCfcHom_id
+    {E : Type*} [NormedJordanAlgebra E] [PartialOrder E]
+    [IsOrderedAddMonoid E] [IsArchimedeanOrderUnit E] [JBAlgebra E]
+    (a : E) :
+    jordanCfcHom a
+      ((ContinuousMap.id ℝ).restrict (jordanSpectrum a)) =
+        closedGenerator a
+theorem jordanCfcHom_range_eq_top
+    {E : Type*} [NormedJordanAlgebra E] [PartialOrder E]
+    [IsOrderedAddMonoid E] [IsArchimedeanOrderUnit E] [JBAlgebra E]
+    (a : E) :
+    (jordanCfcHom a).range = ⊤
+end NormedJordanAlgebra
+
+Keeping the codomain bundled is important: this states exactly that continuous
+functions of a are the closed algebra generated by a.
+
+The ambient-valued operation can then be a thin wrapper:
+
+noncomputable def jordanCfc
+    (f : C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ)) : E :=
+  (jordanCfcHom a f : ClosedGeneratedByOne a)
+
+Immediate consequences include
+
+jordanCfc_id
+jordanCfc_add
+jordanCfc_mul
+jordanCfc_const
+
+and
+
+theorem norm_jordanCfc
+    (f : C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ)) :
+    ‖jordanCfc a f‖ = ‖f‖
+
+from jordanCfcHom_isometry.
+
+Recommended dependency chain
+
+The implementation should therefore be organized around the following chain:
+
+JB axioms
+    ↓
+one-generator associative closed real Banach algebra
+    ↓
+real spectrum of JB elements is nonempty
+    ↓
+‖x‖ = real spectral radius of x
+    ↓
+real polynomial spectral mapping
+    ↓
+‖p(a)‖ = ‖p|σ(a)‖∞
+    ↓
+polynomial evaluation is isometric
+    ↓
+Mathlib Stone-Weierstrass
+    ↓
+C(σ(a), ℝ) →ₐ[ℝ] ClosedGeneratedByOne a
+    ↓
+closed range + generatedness
+    ↓
+surjectivity
+v
+The genuinely new mathematics is concentrated near the top:
+
+JB real spectrality
+#### B1. Repair the ordered-JB boundary, then expose the norm/order theorem
+
+**Foundational correction.**  The present `JBAlgebra` fields do *not* imply norm/order
+compatibility: they only say that Jordan squares are positive, and leave open the possibility of a
+strictly larger proper cone.  Enlarging the cone preserves square positivity and the two analytic
+JB norm axioms, while changing `orderUnitNorm`.  Therefore the following statement cannot soundly
+be proved from the current class fields:

+JB norm = real spectral radius.
+
+The lower half is largely existing Mathlib infrastructure.
+
+Suggested file structure
+
+Do not introduce a file named RealGelfand.lean: that suggests a much more
+general theorem than is actually required.
+
+A cleaner decomposition is
+
+JB/GeneratedByOne/Spectrum.lean
+JB/GeneratedByOne/ContinuousFunctionalCalculus.lean
+
+Spectrum.lean should establish the JB-specific results, approximately:
+
+jordanSpectrum_nonempty
+jordanSpectralRadius_eq_norm
+jordanSpectrum_aeval
+norm_aeval_closedGenerator
+
+The CFC file should then contain mostly completion and packaging:
+
+jordanCfcHom
+jordanCfcHom_isometry
+jordanCfcHom_id
+jordanCfcHom_range_eq_top
+jordanCfc
+norm_jordanCfc
+
+If the polynomial spectral-mapping result turns out to be naturally generic
+for suitable real Banach algebras, it can be contributed separately to
+Mathlib rather than made JB-specific.
+
+Recommendation
+
+Keep the existing intrinsic jordanSpectrum and
+ClosedGeneratedByOne construction.
+
+Do not:
+
+* add a placeholder jordanCfcHom;
+* postulate a ContinuousFunctionalCalculus instance;
+* add a fake StarRing;
+* choose a Cstar/operator representation;
+* formalize full real Gelfand duality merely for this purpose.
+
+Status: B5 is complete in `ContinuousFunctionalCalculus.lean`.  Polynomial evaluation is
+descended to `polynomialFunctions σ`, extended by Stone--Weierstrass density to the bundled
+isometric real algebra homomorphism `jordanCfcHom`, and its range is proved closed and equal to
+the closed generated algebra by the algebraic Jordan-power span argument.  The public
+ambient-valued wrapper is `jordanCfc`, with its coordinate, additive, multiplicative, constant,
+and norm laws.  `jordanCfcEquiv` additionally packages the proved injectivity and surjectivity
+as the canonical real algebra equivalence onto `ClosedGeneratedByOne a`.
+
+Status: the resulting intrinsic calculus now also supplies the canonical positive square root,
+absolute value, and positive/negative parts.  Spectrum positivity for a nonnegative observable
+is proved through strict-positive invertibility in its closed generated algebra; no Cstar
+realization is used.  The CFC proves the square-root and absolute-value square identities,
+nonnegativity, positive/negative decomposition, and Jordan orthogonality of the two parts.
+Uniqueness of an arbitrary positive square root remains a separate multielement JB theorem.
+
+The order API is now general rather than restricted to the named functions:
+`jordanCfc_nonneg` sends each pointwise nonnegative continuous function to a positive JB element,
+and `jordanCfc_monotone` sends pointwise inequalities to ambient order inequalities.  Both are
+proved by an intrinsic continuous square-root factorization followed by exact-cone reconstruction.
+Conversely, `jordanCfc_nonneg_iff` and `jordanCfc_le_iff` reflect the ambient JB order to the
+pointwise order.  Their proof uses the local exact-cone theorem inside `ClosedGeneratedByOne a`
+and the proved CFC algebra equivalence, so no representation is introduced.
+
+Consequently, `jordanSqrt_eq_of_mem_closedGeneratedByOne` gives positive-square-root uniqueness
+for roots which lie in the input observable's closed generated algebra.  This is intentionally
+not advertised as unrestricted JB root uniqueness: moving an arbitrary positive root into that
+one-observable algebra is precisely the remaining multielement quadratic-Jordan problem.

+# The closed subalgebra generated by a single element: `C_J(a)`
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Step 2 of `JB/GENERATED_SUBALGEBRA_ROADMAP.md`: `C_J(a) := \overline{J[a]}`, the norm-closure of
+the subalgebra generated by `1` and `a` (`Power/GeneratedByOne.lean`). Continuity of the Jordan
+product (`JB/Dynamics.lean`'s `isBoundedBilinearMap_mul`, itself just `norm_mul_le'` repackaged)
+is exactly what lets the closure of a subalgebra remain a subalgebra: this is the standard
+topological
+argument "a continuous binary operation closed on a set is closed on the set's closure", via
+`image_closure_subset_closure_image` and `closure_prod_eq`, not anything Jordan-specific.
+
+Because `NormedJordanAlgebra` bundles coherent algebraic and normed data and `JBAlgebra` includes
+completeness, this construction is abstract in an arbitrary JB-algebra. `C_J(a)` is a closed subset
+of a complete space and is therefore complete.

+# Intrinsic continuous functional calculus for one JB observable
+
+This file starts from the genuinely Jordan-theoretic spectral theorem in
+`GeneratedByOne.Spectrum`.  In particular, its norm comparison is not imported from a Cstar
+realization: polynomial evaluation in the commutative associative algebra generated by `a` is
+isometric for the sup norm on the intrinsic real spectrum.
+
+The remaining construction extends this isometry from polynomial functions to all continuous
+functions by Stone--Weierstrass and completeness.

+# The canonical spectrum of one Jordan element
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The closed subalgebra generated by one element is an ordinary commutative associative normed real
+algebra. Its usual algebraic spectrum therefore gives a canonical spectrum for that Jordan
+element—there is no arbitrary set parameter and no dependence on a chosen Cstar realization.
+
+This is the sound domain for the eventual continuous functional calculus. The map from continuous
+functions is intentionally not postulated here: its construction requires the JB spectral theorem.

+# Uniqueness of the positive square root
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`jordanSqrt_eq_of_mem_closedGeneratedByOne` (`ContinuousFunctionalCalculus.lean`) only proves
+uniqueness of the canonical positive square root among roots already known to lie in
+`ClosedGeneratedByOne a`. This file removes that restriction: it proves that **every** nonnegative
+`b` with `b * b = a` equals `jordanSqrt a ha`, for `b` an arbitrary element of the ambient JB
+algebra.
+
+The genuinely multielement obstruction is that `b` is a priori unrelated to `ClosedGeneratedByOne
+a`; it is not smuggled in by treating `a` and `b` as if they already lay in one common associative
+algebra. The argument instead uses a single algebraic identity that is *ambient-independent*:
+evaluating a real polynomial `p` at an element by repeated Jordan multiplication produces an
+answer depending only on that element's value in `E`, never on which enveloping closed
+one-generator algebra it is regarded as living in (`aevalCoe_eq_jordanPolyEval`). Consequently, for
+every real polynomial `p`,
+
+```text
+jordanPolyEval b (p.comp (X ^ 2)) = jordanPolyEval (b * b) p = jordanPolyEval a p,
+```
+
+purely algebraically, with no reference to any spectral or order theory. The two sides are then
+independently approximated: on the left, using only `b`'s own polynomial functional calculus and
+`b ≥ 0`, `p.comp (X ^ 2)` evaluated at `b` approximates `b` itself; on the right, using only `a`'s
+own calculus and `a ≥ 0`, `p` evaluated at `a` approximates `jordanSqrt a ha`. Because the exact
+algebraic identity forces the two approximating quantities to coincide term by term, the two limits
+coincide, giving `b = jordanSqrt a ha`.

+# Uniform norm on the closed algebra generated by one JB element
+
+The closed algebra generated by one element is more than a commutative real Banach algebra.  The
+JB square axiom restricts to it, so its norm is uniform: `‖x²‖ = ‖x‖²`.  Iteration along powers of
+two is the analytic input needed to identify norm and spectral radius once real-spectrum
+nonemptiness is established.
+
+This layer deliberately stops before asserting spectrum nonemptiness.  That statement is false
+for general real Banach algebras and must be proved from the JB-specific uniform/order structure.

+
+The ordered-JB boundary initially assumes only that Jordan squares are positive.  The converse is
+not an axiom: it is a consequence of the intrinsic one-observable analytic theory.  Every
+observable belongs to its closed associative one-generator algebra, where the endpoint binomial
+argument proves that positive elements are squares; coercing that witness back gives the global
+JB cone theorem.

+This is the first order-reconstruction result used by the later positive-root, projection, and

+# JBW-algebras
+
+This file fixes the boundary between continuous JB theory and monotone-complete JBW theory.  We
+use the order-theoretic characterization: a JBW-algebra is a monotone-complete JB-algebra whose
+normal states separate points.  Normality itself remains the canonical
+`UnitalPositiveLinearMap.IsNormal`; it is not copied into this layer.
+
+Projection-valued spectral measures and Borel functional calculus belong downstream of this
+interface.  The continuous single-generator spectrum remains in the JB layer.

+`MeasurableProjectionResolution` is defined at the weaker Jordan order-unit level and reuses the
+entire effect-valued-measure API.  This JBW file adds the two genuinely JBW ingredients: normal
+states produce ordinary probability laws, and the separating normal-state family detects equality
+of projection resolutions.

+# Jordan/order-unit/JB development map
+
+This is the architectural contract for the Jordan development. It records what is already in
+place, the dependency direction that future work must preserve, and the remaining mathematical
+milestones. Historical migration steps are deliberately omitted: the source tree, not a list of
+old bridge files, is the authority for the current design.
+
+## 1. Governing principle
+
+Every definition lives at the weakest natural level, exactly once. Stronger settings inherit it
+through instances or specialize it by applying the same definition. A file may translate between
+genuinely independent representations, but it must not repair duplicate definitions by proving
+that they coincide.
+
+```text
+bilinear algebra -------- statistics, generators
+       |
+unital Jordan algebra --- powers, L, U, projections, generated algebra
+       |
+Jordan order-unit ------- square positivity, states, covariance, effects
+       |
+normed Jordan algebra --- bounded multiplication, continuous L and U
+       |
+JB algebra -------------- completeness, closed one-generator algebra, spectrum, CFC
+       |
+JBW algebra ------------- directed suprema, normal states, Borel theory
+
+Cstar algebra -- selfAdjoint realization --> special JB/JBW examples
+```
+
+The Cstar branch points into the hierarchy. The abstract hierarchy never imports a concrete
+Cstar realization.
+
+## 2. Stable ownership rules
+
+### 2.1 Generic algebra and statistics
+
+`AlgebraicFramework/Algebra/Statistics.lean` owns the canonical second-moment and covariance
+bilinear forms. Symmetry, positive-semidefiniteness, Cauchy--Schwarz, scalar covariance, variance,
+and finite covariance matrices are derived from that object at the assumptions each result uses.
+
+`StarAlgebra/Statistics.lean` is only an ergonomic specialization to self-adjoint observables.
+The Robertson--Schrodinger commutator term remains Cstar-specific because it uses the associative
+and Lie products; the symmetric covariance term does not.
+
+Weights do not acquire a copied statistics API. A finite nonzero weight is normalized to a state,
+after which the state API applies unchanged. The equivalence between finite normalized weights
+and states is a genuine representation equivalence and is named accordingly.
+
+### 2.2 Pure Jordan algebra
+
+The `JordanAlgebra` namespace owns all statements requiring no order or norm:
+
+- fixed-bracketing powers `jpow`;
+- multiplication operators `L` and quadratic representations `U`;
+- the Jordan identity and power-associativity;
+- operator compatibility;
+- algebraic projections and orthogonality;
+- the associative commutative algebra generated by one element.
+
+The standard hypotheses are `NonAssocCommRing`, a compatible real module structure, and
+`IsCommJordan`. Pure algebra declarations must not carry an order-unit assumption for convenience.
+
+### 2.3 Jordan order-unit algebra
+
+`IsJordanOrderUnit` couples the Jordan product to the order by one minimal axiom: squares are
+nonnegative. It intentionally does not claim that every positive element is a square.
+
+This layer owns:
+
+- positivity of state evaluations on squares;
+- positive-semidefiniteness of covariance;
+- conversion of algebraic projections to effects;
+- the forward implication from Jordan orthogonality to an effect partial sum;
+- other results that genuinely combine multiplication and order.
+
+The reverse projection/sharp-effect correspondence and positivity of arbitrary quadratic
+representations require spectral JB theory and are not smuggled into this weak class.
+
+### 2.4 Normed Jordan and JB algebra
+
+`NormedJordanAlgebra` is the coherent data-carrying structure. It bundles one addition, scalar
+action, multiplication, norm, and metric, plus the Jordan and norm-submultiplicativity laws. This
+prevents instance diamonds.
+
+`JBAlgebra` is the complete analytic refinement: it has the Banach and JB norm laws but no chosen
+order. `IsJBOrderUnit` is the separate ordered refinement, extending weak square-positivity by
+the exact equality between the supplied norm and `orderUnitNorm`. Normed results such as bounded multiplication,
+continuous `L_a`, continuous `U_a`, and derivation generators are stated for
+`NormedJordanAlgebra` whenever order and completeness are unused. Closed-generated-subalgebra
+results add `CompleteSpace` only where closure arguments need it.
+
+### 2.5 JBW algebra
+
+Monotone completeness is an order property and lives in `OrderUnit/MonotoneComplete.lean`.
+`JBWAlgebra` combines a JB algebra with monotone completeness and a separating family of normal
+states. Normality remains `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.IsNormal`/`Weight.IsNormal`; the JBW layer does
+not redefine it.
+
+Projection-valued spectral measures and Borel functional calculus belong here. Continuous
+single-observable functional calculus belongs one level lower, in JB.
+
+### 2.6 Cstar realization
+
+`StarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` defines the one normalized Jordan product on `selfAdjoint A`.
+`CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` and its focused companion files provide the ordered, normed, complete,
+specialness, positivity, compatibility, and statistics realizations.
+
+Concrete identities such as `U_a(b) = aba` and coercion of Jordan powers to associative powers
+live with that realization. They are specializations, not competing abstract definitions.
+
+### 2.7 Exceptional-model acceptance condition
+
+The abstract Jordan/JB/JBW development is required to remain meaningful for the exceptional
+Albert algebra `H₃(𝕆)`.  Cstar self-adjoint algebras are important special realizations, but they
+are not a completeness argument for the abstract theory and may not be used to prove an abstract
+theorem merely because they validate its matrix intuition.
+
+This has a direct API consequence.  `U_a` is public operational structure — the intrinsic
+counterpart of `b ↦ aba`, hence compression/filtering and the Heisenberg-picture Lüders map — and
+the public theorems downstream of its positivity request only the intrinsic quadratic-positivity
+fact.  Shirshov--Cohn or another proof of that fact is an implementation dependency, never a
+dependency exposed by measurement, conditioning, CFC, or JBW clients.  In particular, no
+abstract theorem may require `JBAlgebra.IsSpecial`.
+
+`EXCEPTIONAL_ALBERT_ROADMAP.md` is the concrete realization plan and its proof gates.  It is a
+separate vertical track: it validates the general interfaces with a genuinely non-special model;
+it does not move octonionic coordinates, alternative multiplication, or finite-dimensional
+matrix calculations into the abstract Jordan files.
+
+## 3. Implemented foundation
+
+The following parts of the architecture are now present and must be preserved:
+
+- canonical generic covariance as a bilinear form, including positivity, Cauchy--Schwarz, and
+  covariance-matrix consequences;
+- Cstar uncertainty consuming that canonical covariance API;
+- pure Jordan powers, multiplication operators, quadratic representations, compatibility,
+  projections, and generated-by-one algebra in the `JordanAlgebra` namespace;
+- a proof of power-associativity and `jpow_add` without order or Cstar assumptions;
+- exact formulas for `U` on powers and the quadratic fundamental formula on every
+  one-generated associative sector;
+- pointwise and bundled commutation of `U_a` with the multiplication operators `L_a` and
+  `L_(a²)`, directly from the Jordan identity;
+- inner-variable additivity and scalar linearity of `U_a`, outer-variable quadratic homogeneity,
+  sign invariance, and bundled two-sided identity laws for `U_1`;
+- the symmetric bilinear polarization `quadRepPolar a b` of the quadratic representation, with
+  its exact cross-effect formula `U_(a+b) = U_a + quadRepPolar a b + U_b`; this is the shared
+  operator-level interface for the still-missing multivariable fundamental-formula proof;
+- the computable Jordan triple product `{a, b, c}`, symmetric and bilinear in its outer variables
+  and linear in its middle variable, with `quadRepPolar a c b = 2 {a, b, c}` and diagonal
+  `{a, b, a} = U_a b`; the remaining fundamental-formula proof is therefore correctly posed as
+  the standard Jordan-triple commutator identity rather than as duplicated `U` expansions;
+- a closed operator normal form `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize` for `L_(U_a b)` in terms of `L_a`,
+  `L_b`, `L_(a*a)`, `L_(a*b)` compositions, and the bilinear reduction `quadRep_quadRep_eq`
+  expressing `U_(U_a b)` via `U` and `quadRepBilin` of `U a b`'s two elementary constituents;
+  together these confirm that pure operator-normalization (as opposed to the Jordan-triple
+  fundamental identity) cannot self-terminate the multivariable fundamental-formula proof;
+- the Peirce polynomial and algebraic idempotence of quadratic compression by a projection;
+- the Peirce-`1` eigenspace of a projection and its exact identification with the range of its
+  quadratic compression;
+- explicit algebraic Peirce-`0`, Peirce-`1/2`, and Peirce-`1` components of every element, with
+  their eigenvalue laws, joint directness, and decomposition formula;
+- projection conditioning of states, with quadratic positivity exposed at the JB-theoretic level
+  where it belongs;
+- a shared `IsQuadraticallyPositive` operational boundary, its bundled positive map
+  `quadRepPositiveLinearMap`, and the generic projection-conditioning specialization that consumes
+  exactly that boundary; `Quadratic/Operational.lean` is the separate meeting point with the
+  purely algebraic fundamental formula, where intrinsic square-composition and full sequential-
+  filtering laws are bundled without making the basic positivity interface import that proof;
+- Cstar-realization positivity of quadratic representations and a concrete projection-conditioning
+  constructor that supplies that positivity automatically;
+- the intrinsic effect-to-operation slice: CFC supplies `effectSqrt`, quadratic positivity supplies
+  `luedersMap e := U_(effectSqrt e)`, `luedersMap e 1 = e`, and nonzero-probability effects induce
+  normalized Lüders states; for a Jordan projection `p`, square-root uniqueness proves
+  `effectSqrt p = p`, so the Lüders operation is exactly the established quadratic compression
+  `U_p`, and the resulting Lüders conditional state is exactly projection conditioning; the map
+  is bundled as an `Operation` whose outcome effect is precisely `e`;
+- ordered projections as effects and the algebraic-orthogonality-to-effect-sum implication;
+- finite-weight normalization and the state/finite-weight equivalences;
+- the canonical direction of normality under that equivalence: a normal state induces a normal
+  finite normalized weight, with directed suprema transported through the positive cone;
+- coherent `NormedJordanAlgebra` and complete `JBAlgebra` classes;
+- abstract continuous multiplication, bounded `L_a` and `U_a`, and generator-is-derivation;
+- a closed, complete, commutative associative real algebra generated by one element;
+- its inherited abstract JB structure (ambient order unit, Archimedean order, square positivity,
+  normed Jordan data, completeness, and JB norm laws), retaining the formal-reality information
+  required by the real Gelfand step;
+- a canonical real spectrum defined in that closed generated algebra, with compactness;
+- a sound, realization-specific real CFC into self-adjoint Cstar observables, obtained by
+  packaging Mathlib's isometric `cfcHom` as a Jordan-valued linear map; its coordinate and norm
+  laws, Jordan multiplicativity, positivity, and monotonicity are available without claiming an
+  abstract JB CFC;
+- restriction of the JB square-norm law to the closed generated algebra, including exact norm
+  growth along powers of two;
+- the generic spectral-radius upper bound for closed one-generator JB elements, with the reverse
+  inequality reserved for the genuine JB spectral theorem;
+- specialness represented by an isometric Jordan embedding with closed range;
+- an initial JBW boundary based on generic monotone completeness and normal-state separation;
+- monotone convergence for normal states on bounded increasing sequences in a JBW-algebra,
+  formulated with scalar `IsLUB` to respect conditional completeness of `ℝ`;
+- normal finite weights detect nonzero positive JBW observables, via the canonical normal
+  state-to-weight transport (with no unsound converse normality claim);
+- directed-supremum normality is owned once by `PositiveLinearMap.IsNormal`; the channel and
+  subunital-operation APIs are abbreviations of that predicate, so future normal Lüders
+  operations require no parallel continuity notion; operations compose sequentially and the
+  normal-operation predicate is closed under that composition; `Operation.condition` is the one
+  normalized post-measurement-state constructor reused by instruments and Lüders operations, and
+  it proves normality from a normal operation and normal input state; operations now have their
+  expected identity and associative sequential composition laws;
+- realization files named by what they construct, with no Jordan `*Bridge.lean` layer;
+- removal of the unsound arbitrary-spectrum functional-calculus placeholder.
+
+## 4. Remaining mathematical program
+
+The remaining work is not another hierarchy migration. It is the analytic and spectral content
+needed to make the abstract JB layer fully useful.
+
+### 4.0 Execution priority and proof ownership
+
+The critical path is now **Stage B, then Stage C, then Stage E**.  Continuous one-observable
+calculus is foundational for the order reconstruction and the later JBW/Borel layer, so it takes
+priority over extending the multivariable quadratic API.
+
+The primary model owns the mathematical design and the proofs of the JB norm/order theorem,
+strict-positive invertibility, real spectrality, polynomial spectral mapping, and the CFC
+extension.  Do not delegate those proofs to a lower-capability model.  A lower-capability model
+may be used only after a theorem statement and proof spine are fixed, for bounded mechanical work
+such as resolving elaboration errors, locating an already named lemma, or minimizing imports.
+
+Work in vertical slices.  A slice must end in a proved theorem used by the next slice; adding
+wrappers, special scalar cases, or documentation alone does not count as progress on the critical
+path.
+
+### Stage A: quadratic order theory
+
+1. Promote the proved one-generated fundamental formula for `U` to arbitrary elements. The
+   missing ingredient is the classical multivariable-polarization/Macdonald argument: evaluated
+   at an element, the target is a degree-7 multihomogeneous identity, while Mathlib currently
+   provides only the cubic Jordan commutation law and degree-4 polarized commutator identities.
+   The symmetric bilinear cross-effect `quadRepPolar` and its computable Jordan-triple form are
+   now the reusable first layer.  The first finite certificate step is also proved:
+   `mulLeft_triple_normalize` reduces `L_(a*(b*c))` to products of multiplication operators on
+   single and double products, directly from the cyclic commutator identity. Its cubic and
+   fourth-power specializations now prove the first nontrivial quadratic identity
+   `quadRep_mul_self_eq_comp : U_(a²) = U_a²`. The standard bilinear operator
+   `quadRepBilin a b` is now exposed as the integral half-polarization: its diagonal is `U_a`,
+   while the existing cross-effect is exactly `2 • quadRepBilin a b`. Its three-summand expansion
+   and bundled quadratic homogeneity are installed, and
+   `quadRep_add_mul_self_eq_comp` records the exact operator source equation obtained by applying
+   the square theorem to `a + b`. Its positive and signed expansions now cancel to the proved
+   standard mixed coefficient identity `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization`; this is the first
+   genuine two-generator quadratic relation. The cubic analogue is now also polarized: substituting
+   `a + b` and `a - b` into the cubic commutation law `quadRep_mulLeft` and taking the same
+   even/odd combination isolates the two pure mixed-bidegree `(2,1)`/`(1,2)` pieces, proved as
+   `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization` and its `a ↔ b` companion
+   `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization'` in `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`:
+   `U_a(b*x) + 2 quadRepBilin(a,b)(a*x) = b*(U_a x) + 2 a*(quadRepBilin(a,b) x)`. This is the
+   standard triple commutator identity the previous session's writeup called for next.  It is a
+   genuine three-generator trilinear relation (degree `(2,1,1)` in `(a,b,x)`), proved by the same
+   finite even/odd polarization technique as the quadratic case, via the reusable
+   `linear_combination (norm := module)` combinator rather than manual coefficient bookkeeping.
+   **Correction (checked in a later session):** both polarization passes the previous writeup
+   called for are in fact already on hand — `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization` (line above, the
+   degree-4 polarization of `quadRep_mul_self_eq_comp`) predates
+   `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization` and was not a further step still owed. The assembly of these
+   two was attempted directly and is **not yet closed**, for a precise reason: expanding
+   `U (U a b) x` via `quadRep_apply` produces only multiplications *by the compound element*
+   `U a b` itself, and neither available identity supplies a normalization rule for
+   `(U a b) * y` in terms of separate `a`-/`b`-multiplications — `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization`
+   is a closed operator equation with no argument slot to substitute `U a b` into, and
+   `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization` only normalizes a *single* extra factor of `b`, not the
+   `(2,1)`-bidegree compound `U a b`. The classical proofs (Jacobson, McCrimmon) close this gap only
+   via the Jordan-triple-system fundamental identity
+   `{a,b,{a,d,c}} = {{a,b,a},d,c} - {a,{b,a,d},c} + {a,d,{a,b,c}}` (using `jordanTriple` from
+   `Quadratic/Triple.lean`) or Macdonald's transfer theorem for special algebras; the triple
+   identity is a strictly new three-slot linearization, not obtainable by re-polarizing an
+   identity already on hand, and Mathlib's `two_nsmul_lie_lmul_lmul_add_add_eq_zero` (already used
+   here via `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator`) is only the *two*-variable linearization of the Jordan
+   axiom, not this triple-system identity. See `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`'s final section and
+   §7 below for the two concrete candidate next attempts (formalizing the triple identity itself
+   by multi-point polarization, or pushing `mulLeft_triple_normalize`'s associative normal form
+   further to absorb the whole computation) — do not reattempt two-point `a ± b` polarization a
+   third time; that specific technique is now exhausted for this goal.
+2. Prove positivity of `U_a` in a JB algebra from JB theory; do not add it as an unrelated axiom
+   merely to make later files compile.
+3. Use the algebraically direct Peirce decomposition to establish the remaining JB order-theoretic
+   facts, especially compatibility and positivity of the corresponding compressions.
+4. Derive JB positivity of `U_p` and use it to strengthen the existing conditional state
+   construction into effect/state compression maps without an explicit positivity argument.
+   The public operational interface and the effect-level Lüders construction are now in place;
+   the remaining foundational task is to discharge `IsQuadraticallyPositive` intrinsically from
+   the JB theorem, rather than only in concrete Cstar realizations.
+
+#### A2. Shirshov--Cohn route to intrinsic quadratic positivity
+
+The remaining `U_a ≥ 0` theorem is not an analytic consequence of the current weak ordered-JB
+fields.  Its algebraic core is the two-generated-special theorem.  The already-complete generic
+closure API (`generatedBySet`, `GeneratedByTwo`, and its canonical `JordanHom` inclusion) is the
+endpoint for this construction: do not add another family of closure wrappers or a parallel
+generated-subalgebra hierarchy.
+
+The implementation is a chain of genuinely distinct theorems, in this order:
+
+1. **Special model — complete.**  `FreeSpecialTwo.lean` defines
+   `FreeAssocTwo := FreeAlgebra ℝ (Fin 2)`, its normalized symmetrization
+   `SymAlg FreeAssocTwo`, and `FreeSpecialJordanTwo`, the Jordan fragment generated by the two
+   canonical letters.  This reuses Mathlib's `SymAlg`; it does not reimplement the associative
+   Jordanization.
+2. **Free abstract model — presentation and evaluation complete.**
+   `FreeJordanTwo.lean` now presents the free unital real Jordan algebra as the quotient of the
+   free non-unital non-associative real algebra on a formal unit and two letters, by
+   commutativity, the Jordan identity, and the two unit relations.  It proves the resulting
+   `NonAssocCommRing`, real module, and `IsCommJordan` structures, and constructs the canonical
+   evaluation `JordanHom` into every unital real Jordan algebra.  The remaining part of this
+   item is the *uniqueness* theorem for that evaluation; it will use the raw-expression induction
+   rather than create another generated-closure API.  `JordanHom` remains the single morphism
+   notion for this work.
+3. **Word normal form and Shirshov.** Equip the free associative algebra with reversal, prove the
+   requisite fixed-word normal form, and show that the canonical homomorphism from the free
+   abstract two-generator Jordan algebra to `FreeSpecialJordanTwo` is injective.  This is the
+   Shirshov theorem; it is not replaceable by a calculation in a chosen Cstar algebra.
+4. **Ideals and Cohn intersection.** Develop Jordan ideals and quotient maps at the same
+   `JordanHom` level.  For an ideal `I` of the free special algebra prove the Cohn statement
+   `I ∩ FreeSpecialJordanTwo = K`, for the induced Jordan ideal `K`.  This step is essential:
+   specialness is not generally inherited by arbitrary quotients.
+5. **Two-generated quotients.** Present `GeneratedByTwo a b` as a quotient of the free abstract
+   object, identify its kernel through the Cohn intersection theorem, and produce the resulting
+   special representation.  The public endpoint is
+
+   ```text
+   exists_special_representation_generatedByTwo
+   ```
+
+   with no Cstar hypothesis and no exceptional-algebra exclusion.
+6. **Return to JB order.** Use that representation only for the local two-generator positivity
+   argument needed for `U_a`; state the resulting positivity as the existing intrinsic
+   `IsQuadraticallyPositive` interface.  Conditioning, Lüders operations, CFC, and JBW clients
+   consume that interface and must not expose the Shirshov--Cohn machinery.
+
+The word-normal-form/Shirshov and Cohn-intersection pieces are the hard proof work.  The model,
+universal maps, quotient presentation, and API packaging are supporting infrastructure; they are
+not substitutes for either theorem.
+
+### Stage B: continuous functional calculus
+
+The spectral theorem is to be proved intrinsically from the JB order and norm.  The proof should
+not pass through a chosen Cstar realization, an abstract real Gelfand-duality package, or a public
+complexification.  The concrete implementation order is as follows.
+
+#### B1. Repair the ordered-JB boundary, then expose the norm/order theorem
+
+**Foundational correction.**  The present `JBAlgebra` fields do *not* imply norm/order
+compatibility: they only say that Jordan squares are positive, and leave open the possibility of a
+strictly larger proper cone.  Enlarging the cone preserves square positivity and the two analytic
+JB norm axioms, while changing `orderUnitNorm`.  Therefore the following statement cannot soundly
+be proved from the current class fields:
+
+```text
+JBAlgebra.norm_eq_orderUnitNorm
+JBAlgebra.norm_le_iff_order_bounds
+```
+
+Do **not** put that field on the pure analytic `JBAlgebra` class: its norm laws and completeness
+make sense before any order is chosen.  Instead repair the hierarchy in `JB/Basic.lean` as two
+separate boundaries:
+
+```text
+JBAlgebra E
+  -- complete normed unital Jordan algebra with the two JB norm axioms;
+  -- no PartialOrder, order unit, or cone data.
+
+IsJBOrderUnit E
+  -- extends IsJordanOrderUnit E;
+  -- couples an already chosen order to the existing JB norm.
+```
+
+After importing `OrderUnit/Norm.lean`, put the compatibility field on the second class:
+
+```text
+IsJBOrderUnit.norm_eq_orderUnitNorm :
+  ∀ x : E, ‖x‖ = IsArchimedeanOrderUnit.orderUnitNorm x
+```
+
+This is not an auxiliary axiom or a CFC placeholder; it is the missing compatibility clause in
+the definition of an **ordered** JB algebra.  The exact-cone theorem remains a theorem to be
+proved later, not a class field.  The CFC and JBW layers request both `JBAlgebra E` and
+`IsJBOrderUnit E`; purely analytic dynamics requests only `JBAlgebra E`; elementary ordered
+results request only `IsJordanOrderUnit E`.
+
+Then immediately derive the two public theorems above from the field and
+`orderUnitNorm_mem_orderUnitBounds` / `mem_orderUnitBounds_iff`.
+
+The second theorem should have the usable form, for `0 ≤ r`,
+
+```text
+‖x‖ ≤ r  ↔  -(r • 1) ≤ x ∧ x ≤ r • 1.
+```
+
+Do not create a second normed copy of the JB algebra or change the data-bearing
+`NormedJordanAlgebra` instance.  This B1 slice is entirely abstract:
+
+1. transport compatibility to `ClosedGeneratedByOne a` by coercion to the ambient JB algebra;
+2. keep `NormedJordanAlgebra` free of every order-unit assumption;
+3. add no default instance that could silently choose an incompatible order;
+4. do not import, inspect, or use a Cstar realization in the proof of any B1--B5 theorem.
+
+Concrete realizations are a separate downstream maintenance concern.  They may instantiate the
+final abstract boundary later, but they are neither evidence for nor ingredients of the Jordan
+proof.
+
+#### B2. Build the local analytic square-root machinery before CFC — complete
+
+This slice is now implemented in
+`JB/GeneratedByOne/PositiveInvertibility.lean`, entirely inside the existing commutative
+associative Banach algebra `ClosedGeneratedByOne a`.  The endpoint binomial construction is
+proved using the Catalan coefficient majorant and the absolutely-convergent Cauchy product; it
+does not use Cstar, complexification, or a pre-existing functional calculus.  It supplies the
+local exact cone, both directions between positive units and the order interior, and the
+cone-boundary lemma consumed by B3.
+
+1. Formalize the absolutely summable binomial series for `sqrt (1 - z)` on `‖z‖ ≤ 1` and prove
+   its square is `1 - z`.  The endpoint `‖z‖ = 1` matters: the square-root coefficients are
+   absolutely summable, so this step must not be weakened to the open unit ball.
+2. For `0 ≤ y`, choose `M > ‖y‖` and put `z = 1 - M⁻¹ • y`.  The order-norm theorem gives
+   `0 ≤ z ≤ 1`, hence `‖z‖ ≤ 1`; rescaling the binomial-series result produces a square root of
+   every positive `y` in its one-generated associative sector.
+3. Record the local exact-cone result: in a closed one-generated JB algebra, nonnegative elements
+   are exactly squares.  This result is local analytic machinery for the spectral theorem; the
+   later Stage C theorem exports and packages it for arbitrary ambient elements.
+4. If positive `y` is a unit, write `y = s^2`.  Then `s` is a unit and
+   `y⁻¹ = (s⁻¹)^2 ≥ 0`.
+   The square-witness part is implemented in
+   `JB/GeneratedByOne/PositiveInvertibility.lean`: a unit `s²` has an explicit positive inverse
+   witness.  What remains is the endpoint binomial argument that supplies `s` from an arbitrary
+   positive `y`.
+5. Use positivity of `y⁻¹`, its order-unit upper bound, and the local exact-cone theorem to prove
+   `ε • 1 ≤ y` for some `ε > 0`: if `y⁻¹ ≤ M • 1`, write
+   `M • 1 - y⁻¹ = t^2`, multiply by `y = s^2` inside the associative sector, and obtain
+   `1 ≤ M • y`.
+6. Conversely, if `ε • 1 ≤ y`, choose `M > ‖y‖` and write
+   `y = M • (1 - z)` with `‖z‖ < 1`; the geometric series makes `1 - z`, hence `y`, a unit.
+   This strict-positive-to-unit direction is implemented in
+   `JB/GeneratedByOne/PositiveInvertibility.lean`, using the B1 bound theorem and no concrete
+   realization.  Its explicit inverse-series formula may be exposed later if a downstream theorem
+   needs it.
+7. Package the two directions needed later:
+
+```text
+JBAlgebra.isUnit_of_pos_smul_one_le
+JBAlgebra.exists_pos_smul_one_le_of_isUnit_of_nonneg
+JBAlgebra.isUnit_iff_mem_interior_positiveCone
+```
+
+Only the one-generated associative sector is needed.  Do not wait for the unrestricted
+fundamental formula or general positivity of `U_a`.
+
+#### B3. Prove the real JB spectral theorem by the cone-boundary argument — complete
+
+In `JB/GeneratedByOne/Spectrum.lean`, for `x : ClosedGeneratedByOne a`, let `r = ‖x‖`.  The order
+norm theorem gives
+
+```text
+0 ≤ r • 1 - x,
+0 ≤ r • 1 + x.
+```
+
+This has now been proved in `JB/GeneratedByOne/Spectrum.lean`.  At least one of these two positive elements is not a unit.  Otherwise B2 makes both interior
+points of the positive cone, so both order bounds can be improved by a common positive epsilon;
+`norm_le_iff_order_bounds` then yields `‖x‖ < r`, a contradiction.  Consequently either `r` or
+`-r` belongs to the real spectrum of `x`.  This single endpoint theorem immediately supplies
+both required results:
+
+```text
+JBAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne.norm_or_neg_norm_mem_spectrum
+NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum_nonempty
+JBAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne.jordanSpectralRadius_eq_norm
+```
+
+Combining endpoint membership with the existing generic bound
+`spectrum.spectralRadius_le_nnnorm` gives the proved
+`JBAlgebra.ClosedGeneratedByOne.jordanSpectralRadius_eq_norm`; no spectral compactness or generic
+resolvent fact is reproved.  The canonical consequence is the proved
+`NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum_nonempty`.
+
+#### B4. Establish real polynomial spectral mapping locally
+
+Prove the reverse inclusion missing from `jordanSpectrum_aeval_subset`.  Factor
+`p(X) - μ` over `ℝ` into linear and irreducible quadratic factors.  Linear factors are handled by
+the spectrum definition.  Every irreducible quadratic can be completed to
+
+```text
+(X - c)^2 + d^2,  with  d ≠ 0,
+```
+
+and B2 shows its evaluation is a strictly positive unit.  Therefore a nonunit product must have a
+nonunit linear factor.  Record:
+
+```text
+NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum_aeval
+NormedJordanAlgebra.norm_aeval_closedGenerator
+```
+
+The norm identity then follows from B3 applied to `p(a)` and exact spectral mapping.
+
+#### B5. Extend polynomial evaluation by density
+
+`JB/GeneratedByOne/ContinuousFunctionalCalculus.lean` is now complete.  Its construction is
+entirely intrinsic:
+
+1. `NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum.compactSpace` makes the intrinsic spectrum a compact
+   type, so `C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ)` has its canonical sup norm;
+2. `enorm_aeval_closedGenerator_eq_enorm_toContinuousMapOn` identifies the B4 spectral norm of
+   polynomial evaluation with that sup norm, with no Cstar import;
+3. `jordanSpectrum_polynomialFunctions_dense` invokes real Stone--Weierstrass for this exact
+   spectrum;
+4. evaluation descends from raw polynomials through equality on the spectrum to the isometric
+   `polynomialCfcLinearIsometry`;
+5. `jordanCfcLinear` is its unique continuous extension, and density proves it remains an
+   isometry and multiplicative;
+6. `jordanCfcHom` bundles the resulting unital real algebra homomorphism, and
+   `jordanCfcEquiv` packages its proved bijectivity as the canonical algebra equivalence;
+7. its range is closed by isometry, contains every algebraic Jordan power by the coordinate law,
+   and is all of `ClosedGeneratedByOne a` because that algebra is their norm closure.
+8. `jordanCfc_nonneg` and `jordanCfc_monotone` transport the pointwise order on continuous
+   functions to the ambient JB order by taking a continuous pointwise square root and applying
+   exact-cone reconstruction.  This is the order interface used by later effect and Borel work.
+   The converse `jordanCfc_nonneg_iff`, and hence `jordanCfc_le_iff`, are also proved: local
+   exact-cone reconstruction supplies a square witness in `ClosedGeneratedByOne a`, and the CFC
+   equivalence carries it back to a pointwise square.  Thus the one-observable CFC is an exact
+   order identification, not only an order-preserving map.
+
+The public declarations are exactly the ones listed in `JB/GeneratedByOne/CFC_AUDIT.md`:
+
+```text
+jordanCfcHom
+jordanCfcHom_isometry
+jordanCfcHom_id
+jordanCfcHom_range_eq_top
+jordanCfc
+norm_jordanCfc
+jordanCfc_nonneg
+jordanCfc_monotone
+jordanCfc_nonneg_iff
+jordanCfc_le_iff
+jordanSpectrumSqrt
+jordanSqrt
+jordanSqrt_mul_self
+jordanSqrt_nonneg
+jordanAbs
+jordanPosPart
+jordanNegPart
+```
+
+Only after these are proved may the API expose `abs`, `sqrt`, `posPart`, and `negPart`.
+
+No public API may accept an arbitrary set called a spectrum, and no unbundled function may stand
+in for the calculus.
+
+### Stage C: exact order reconstruction
+
+Using continuous functional calculus:
+
+1. **Complete:** `jordanSqrt` is the canonical CFC square root of a nonnegative
+   observable. `nonneg_of_mem_jordanSpectrum` first proves that positivity of the observable
+   forces its intrinsic real spectrum to lie in `[0,∞)` by strict-positive invertibility;
+   `jordanSqrt_mul_self` and `jordanSqrt_nonneg` then prove existence of the positive root.
+   `jordanSqrt_eq_of_mem_closedGeneratedByOne` proves uniqueness for every nonnegative root in
+   `ClosedGeneratedByOne a`, using the exact CFC order equivalence and pointwise real-root
+   uniqueness. Unrestricted uniqueness — among *arbitrary* nonnegative roots, not only ones
+   already known to lie in `ClosedGeneratedByOne a` — is now also proved, in
+   `JB/GeneratedByOne/SquareRootUniqueness.lean`, as `jordanSqrt_eq_of_nonneg_of_mul_self` and its
+   restatement `eq_of_nonneg_of_mul_self_eq_mul_self`. The argument is genuinely multielement: it
+   never treats `a` and an arbitrary root `b` as if they lay in one common associative algebra.
+   Instead it introduces an ambient-independent polynomial evaluation `jordanPolyEval x p`
+   (repeated Jordan multiplication of `x` by itself, weighted by `p`'s coefficients), proves that
+   evaluating inside *any* closed one-generator algebra containing `x` coerces to this same
+   ambient-independent value (`aevalCoe_eq_jordanPolyEval`), and uses that to get the purely
+   algebraic identity `jordanPolyEval b (p.comp (X^2)) = jordanPolyEval a p` whenever `b * b = a`.
+   Because this identity holds on the nose (not merely in a limit), approximating each side
+   independently — `b`'s side by its own polynomial functional calculus using `b ≥ 0`, `a`'s side
+   by its own calculus using `a ≥ 0` and the classical Weierstrass approximation of `√·` on
+   `[0, ‖a‖]` — forces `b` and `jordanSqrt a ha` to coincide by an `ε`-argument
+   (`norm_jordanPolyEval_sub_jordanCfc_le`). No projection-valued spectral theorem, joint
+   functional calculus, or Stage D/E machinery is used;
+2. **Complete:** `JBAlgebra.nonneg_iff_exists_mul_self` proves `0 ≤ a` iff
+   `a = b * b` for some `b`, intrinsically by passing to `ClosedGeneratedByOne a` and coercing
+   its local witness back to the ambient JB algebra. The remaining work is selection and
+   uniqueness of the nonnegative witness, not another cone theorem;
+3. **Complete:** `jordanPosPart` and `jordanNegPart` are defined directly by the intrinsic CFC
+   functions `max x 0` and `max (-x) 0`.  They are nonnegative,
+   `jordanPosPart a - jordanNegPart a = a`, and are Jordan-orthogonal. `jordanAbs` is likewise
+   intrinsic, nonnegative, and squares to `a * a`.  The decomposition is now also packaged as
+   `jordanAbs_eq_jordanPosPart_add_jordanNegPart`, with each part bounded above by `jordanAbs`
+   and the fundamental bounds `-jordanAbs a ≤ a ≤ jordanAbs a`.  Its definiteness is explicit as
+   `jordanAbs_eq_zero_iff`, using the JB zero-square criterion rather than a representation.
+   Positivity restricts the intrinsic spectrum as expected: `jordanAbs_eq_self_of_nonneg`,
+   `jordanPosPart_eq_self_of_nonneg`, and `jordanNegPart_eq_zero_of_nonneg` expose the resulting
+   cone simplifications.  The converses are now packaged as
+   `jordanAbs_eq_self_iff_nonneg` and `jordanNegPart_eq_zero_iff_nonneg`, so this local CFC
+   calculus recognizes positivity exactly.  Dually,
+   `jordanPosPart_eq_zero_iff_nonpos` recognizes nonpositivity through the exact CFC order
+   equivalence;
+4. **Complete:** derive order preservation of special embeddings from the exact cone theorem.
+   `JBAlgebra.IsSpecialWitness.map_nonneg` transports a source square witness through the unital
+   Jordan embedding, and `.monotone` derives monotonicity from that theorem.  Positivity is thus
+   not duplicated as an extra specialness field;
+5. prove Jordan projections are exactly the extreme effects;
+6. derive positivity and sharper norm bounds for `U_a`.
+
+These are theorems of JB theory, not fields of `IsJordanOrderUnit`.
+
+**Status of items 5–6 (checked, not yet started):** both remain genuinely blocked on Stage A
+item 1, not merely unattempted busywork. The standard proof of JB positivity of `U_a` (item 6)
+needs either the general multivariable fundamental formula (`U_a = 2 L_a^2 - L_{a^2}` together
+with an operator-monotonicity argument, or the polarized cubic/quartic identities) or a genuine
+spectral-projection argument; Stage A item 1 records that the fundamental formula is proved only
+on one-generated associative sectors so far, with the general multivariable case explicitly still
+open ("Continue by polarizing the cubic analogue..."). Root uniqueness (item 1, now complete)
+deliberately avoided this dependency by using an ambient-independent single-variable polynomial
+identity instead of the fundamental formula; that trick does not extend to `U_a` positivity, whose
+statement is inherently about a bilinear/quadratic map and does not reduce to a one-generator
+approximation argument. Item 5 (projections are exactly the extreme effects) additionally needs a
+notion of extreme point for the effect order-interval, which does not yet exist anywhere in
+`OrderUnit/Effect/`; introducing it is a small independent slice, but the hard direction of the
+theorem (an extreme effect is a projection) still appears to need `U_a` positivity or an equivalent
+spectral fact. Both items should be resumed only after Stage A item 1 lands, not attempted by a
+shortcut that would special-case them.
+
+### Stage D: multivariable commutative fragments
+
+1. **Closure carrier complete:** `Power/Generated.lean` defines `generatedBySet s` as the least
+   unital real submodule closed under Jordan multiplication and containing `s`; it proves the
+   universal property, product closure, and the exact singleton identification
+   `generatedBySet {a} = generatedByOne a`.  `generatedByTwo a b` is the resulting genuine
+   two-observable carrier; its subtype `GeneratedBySet s` inherits the ambient unital real
+   commutative Jordan algebra structure, and `GeneratedByTwo a b` names the corresponding type.
+   It intentionally has no associative-ring instance: supplying one is precisely the unresolved
+   two-generator specialness/Shirshov--Cohn theorem, not a closure convenience.
+2. Relate operator compatibility to associativity of the generated subalgebra under the correct
+   hypotheses.
+3. Construct joint continuous functional calculus for finite compatible families.
+4. Derive joint laws and covariance transformations from the generic statistics API.
+
+### Stage E: JBW spectral and measure theory
+
+1. **Complete:** `MonotoneCompleteOrder.directedSup` is the single chosen directed supremum;
+   `JBWAlgebra.isLUB_directedSup_normal_state_image` proves normal-state preservation at that
+   generality. The increasing-sequence `rangeSup` statement is derived from it rather than
+   maintaining a parallel proof.
+2. Before claiming a reverse normality transport, align the domains of the two predicates: an
+   arbitrary directed set with a supremum need not have a common lower bound and cannot generally
+   be shifted into the positive cone.  Use either a bounded-below state-normality predicate or a
+   strengthened weight predicate, then prove the representation theorem at that matched level.
+3. **Complete:** `JordanOrderUnit/ProjectionResolution.lean` defines the generic
+   `MeasurableProjectionResolution α E` as an extension of the existing
+   `EffectValuedMeasure α E`, rather than a duplicated PVM carrier.  Its events are intrinsic
+   Jordan projections, multiplication computes measurable intersection, and its inherited
+   countable-additivity is the order-theoretic `IsLUB` of partial sums.  The JBW specialization
+   supplies normal-state probability laws and normal-state separation extensionality.
+4. Construct projection-valued spectral measures for observables and prove that normal states
+   scalarize them to ordinary finite measures.  State extensionality through this separating
+   normal-state family.
+5. **Partially complete:** `MeasurableProjectionResolution.boundedBorel` reuses the existing
+   complete order-unit `EffectValuedMeasure.integral`, rather than creating a second Borel
+   integral.  It has positivity, real linearity, and the fundamental
+   `boundedBorel_indicator` law recovering each event projection.  Bound independence is exposed
+   as `boundedBorel_indep_of_bound`, and `boundedBorelEffect` packages every measurable
+   `[0,1]`-valued function as an `Effect E`; these are shared resolution laws, not a JBW-only
+   duplicate.  What remains is the genuinely JBW-specific part: construct the resolution of an
+   observable, prove multiplicativity on its one-observable commutative sector, and prove
+   monotone convergence there.
+6. **Partially complete:** normal-state scalarization already gives `ProbabilityMeasure` laws for
+   a projection resolution, and equality of those laws for every normal state is now the proved
+   operational extensionality criterion
+   `MeasurableProjectionResolution.eq_of_forall_normal_probabilityLaw_eq`. `EffectValuedMeasure.map_simpleIntegral` and
+   `scalarize_simpleIntegral` prove finite naturality, and the new generic
+   `EffectValuedMeasure.map_integral` proves bounded-integral naturality for every normal channel
+   between complete order-unit spaces. The remaining scalar statement is not another analytic
+   limit proof: it must transport that theorem through explicit order-unit-norm copies of both
+   source and scalar target. The necessary scalar topology boundary is now explicit:
+   `WithOrderUnitNorm.realLinearIsometryEquiv` identifies the order-unit-norm copy of `ℝ` with
+   ordinary `ℝ` and transports completeness there. The remaining proof must formulate the
+   scalar mesh limit through that copy (rather than attempting to register a second global norm
+   instance on `ℝ`) and then apply this isometry; it must not silently mix the two norm instances.
+   More generally, `JBAlgebra.toWithOrderUnitNormLinearIsometryEquiv` now identifies every
+   ordered JB algebra's ambient JB norm with its `WithOrderUnitNorm` copy, and
+   `JBAlgebra.completeWithOrderUnitNorm` transports Banach completeness to that copy.  The
+   remaining measure-theoretic step is therefore explicitly a transport of an
+   `EffectValuedMeasure`/projection resolution to the copy, never a local replacement of `E`'s
+   metric instance.  `MeasurableProjectionResolution.toWithOrderUnitNormChannel` now provides
+   that identity order isomorphism as a proved normal channel, and
+   `boundedBorelWithOrderUnitNorm` integrates its pushed-forward effect-valued measure in the
+   completed copy.  The next scalar theorem must compose this copied calculus with
+   `WithOrderUnitNorm.realLinearIsometryEquiv`, not reintroduce an integral on raw `ℝ` by a second
+   limit construction. **Complete:** `EffectValuedMeasure.scalarCopyIntegral` now supplies
+   completeness for the exact locally fixed order-unit topology used by the generic bounded
+   integral, closing the instance boundary which previously prevented the scalar copy from being
+   integrated. `MeasurableProjectionResolution.scalarBoundedBorelWithOrderUnitNorm` integrates
+   the twice-pushed-forward resolution there, and `scalarBoundedBorel` applies the real-line
+   isometry only afterwards. This is the single scalar limit path.
+
+The Hilbert-space `WOTSpectralMeasure` and maximal unbounded spectral integral are a concrete
+special-JBW realization of this bounded projection-resolution layer.  They retain the additional
+square-moment-domain data needed for affiliated unbounded operators.  Do not move that domain
+theory into bare JBW algebras, and do not use the complex Cayley transform as an abstract-JBW
+primitive.
+
+## 5. File discipline
+
+- Abstract algebra/order/JB files may not import `CStarAlgebra` or `WStarAlgebra`.
+- Realization files may import abstractions and instantiate them.
+- A theorem is moved downward whenever its proof does not use the stronger layer.
+- Parallel notation is acceptable only as a zero-proof abbreviation of the canonical definition.
+- A representation-equivalence file is acceptable when both sides are independently meaningful;
+  it is named `Equivalence` or by the construction, never generically `Bridge`.
+- Placeholder declarations using `sorry`, `admit`, or new axioms are forbidden.
+- Public imports are added only after a module builds independently.
+
+## 6. Verification gates
+
+Every slice is complete only when:
+
+1. each touched module compiles without warnings;
+2. the full `PhyslibAlpha.lean` import surface builds;
+3. `rg '\b(sorry|admit|axiom)\b'` is clean in executable Lean code in the migrated layer;
+4. `git diff --check` passes;
+5. repository import and style linters pass;
+6. no new dependency points from an abstract layer to a concrete realization;
+7. declarations expose the weakest hypotheses actually used.
+
+## 7. Next implementation slice
+
+**B1, B2, and B3 are complete.**  The intrinsic path is now executable end-to-end through the
+real JB spectral-radius theorem:
+
+1. `PositiveInvertibility.lean` proves endpoint summability of the half-binomial series by the
+   Catalan telescoping majorant, its absolute Cauchy-product identity, and
+   `halfBinomialSqrt_mul_self` on the closed unit ball.
+2. It derives local exact positivity-as-squares, positive-unit iff order-interior, and the
+   norm-endpoint cone-boundary lemma, all in `ClosedGeneratedByOne a` and with no Cstar import.
+3. `Spectrum.lean` turns that boundary result into
+   `norm_or_neg_norm_mem_spectrum`, `jordanSpectralRadius_eq_norm`, and
+   `jordanSpectrum_nonempty`.
+
+The real polynomial spectral-mapping slice of **B4 is complete**:
+`NormedJordanAlgebra.jordanSpectrum_aeval` combines the existing forward inclusion with an
+intrinsic real factorization induction.  It factors `p(X) - μ` into linear factors and
+irreducible quadratics; each quadratic is completed to `(X-c)^2+d^2` with `d ≠ 0` and shown to
+evaluate to a strictly positive unit using B2.  A nonunit product therefore has a nonunit linear
+factor, which is the desired real spectral preimage.  No Cstar, complexification, or generic-CFC
+route is used.
+
+The B4 norm slice is also complete: `nnnorm_aeval_closedGenerator` and
+`norm_aeval_closedGenerator` combine exact mapping with B3 to identify the norm with the real
+spectral supremum of the restricted polynomial.  **B5 is complete as well**: the bundled
+isometric homomorphism `jordanCfcHom`, its surjectivity, and the resulting algebra equivalence
+`jordanCfcEquiv` now identify `C(jordanSpectrum a, ℝ)` intrinsically with
+`ClosedGeneratedByOne a`.
+
+**Stage C.2 is now complete.** Unrestricted uniqueness of the positive square root
+(`jordanSqrt_eq_of_nonneg_of_mul_self`, `eq_of_nonneg_of_mul_self_eq_mul_self`) is proved in the new
+file `JB/GeneratedByOne/SquareRootUniqueness.lean`, via the ambient-independent polynomial
+evaluation `jordanPolyEval` described above. The global exact-cone theorem, canonical positive-root
+existence theorem, positive/negative-part decomposition, order preservation of special embeddings,
+and now root uniqueness are all complete.
+
+The remaining Stage C items (5: projections are exactly the extreme effects; 6: JB positivity and
+sharper norm bounds for `U_a`) were investigated but are genuinely blocked: both need either the
+general multivariable fundamental formula or an equivalent spectral-projection fact, neither of
+which exists yet. Stage A item 1 (promoting the fundamental formula for `U` from one-generated
+associative sectors to arbitrary elements via multivariable polarization) is the correct
+prerequisite and remains the next vertical slice on the critical path.
+
+**Correction to the previous writeup, checked this session:** the "still-missing piece" that the
+previous writeup described as the next polarization pass — polarizing the degree-4 identity
+`quadRep_mul_self_eq_comp` at `a ± b` — is **not** actually missing: it was already proved, one
+session *earlier* than the cubic-law polarization, as `quadRep_add_square_polarized` /
+`quadRep_sub_square_polarized` / `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization` (all already present in
+`Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`, immediately above the triple-commutator section). So both halves the
+previous writeup called for are in fact already on hand:
+
+- the degree-4 mixed identity `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization`:
+  `4 • (quadRepBilin a b).comp (quadRepBilin a b) = 4 • U (a*b) + 2 • quadRepBilin (a*a) (b*b) -
+  (U a).comp (U b) - (U b).comp (U a)`;
+- the degree-(2,1,1) trilinear identity `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization` /
+  `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization'`.
+
+This session attempted the assembly of these two directly (matching what the previous writeup
+already flagged as attempted-and-not-closed) and confirms the same negative finding, now with a
+precise diagnosis of *why* it cannot close by further two-point (`a ± b`) polarization alone.
+Expanding `U (U a b) x` via `quadRep_apply` produces `2 • (U a b) * ((U a b) * x) - (U a b)^[2] * x`,
+i.e. every term is multiplication *by* the compound element `U a b = 2•a*(a*b) - a^[2]*b` itself,
+not by `a` or `b` separately. Neither available identity supplies a normalization rule for
+`(compound element) * y` in terms of separate `a`- and `b`-multiplications: `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization`
+is a closed operator equation with no free "argument" slot to substitute `U a b` into, and
+`quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization` only normalizes `U a (b * x)`/`b * (U a x)` — linear in a
+*single* factor of `b`, whereas `U a b` itself is already bilinear `(2,1)` in `(a,b)`, so
+substituting it as the outer variable of another application of the same lemma produces a
+`(4,2)`/`(2,3)`-mixed term with no matching identity to reduce it further. This is the same
+obstruction the classical algebraic proofs (Jacobson, McCrimmon) resolve only via the **Jordan
+triple system fundamental identity** — the linearized triple-product law
+`{a,b,{a,d,c}} = {{a,b,a},d,c} - {a,{b,a,d},c} + {a,d,{a,b,c}}` (writing `{·,·,·}` for
+`jordanTriple`, already defined in `Quadratic/Triple.lean` with `{a,b,a} = U a b`) — or via
+Macdonald's transfer theorem for special (associative-embeddable) Jordan algebras. Proving the
+triple-system fundamental identity from the bare Jordan axiom is *not* a further two-point
+polarization of an identity already on hand; it is a new, independently hard linearization (it is,
+essentially, exactly as hard as the fundamental formula it is meant to prove — the identity and the
+formula are inter-derivable), and Mathlib's own linearized commutator lemma
+`two_nsmul_lie_lmul_lmul_add_add_eq_zero` (already used via `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` in this
+file) is the *two*-variable linearization of the Jordan axiom, not the triple-system identity: it
+does not by itself supply the extra degree of freedom needed. No further short assembly of the
+currently-available lemmas was found this session; forcing one was not attempted, per the "no fake
+progress" rule, since every combination tried reduces to needing a normalization rule for
+`(U a b) * y` that does not yet exist and cannot be manufactured from the two-point polarization
+trick already used twice in this file.
+
+**Correction (checked again, this session): route 2 has now actually been attempted (see below)
+and is confirmed not to close by itself; only route 1 remains open.**
+
+The concrete next attempt, for whichever session resumes this, should therefore *not* retry
+two-point (`a ± b`) polarization a third time. It should instead attempt route 1 below (route 2 is
+now confirmed exhausted, see the writeup after the numbered list):
+
+1. Directly formalize the Jordan-triple fundamental identity above as its own theorem, by the same
+   substitution-and-cancel method but linearizing in **three** independent triple-product slots at
+   once (substitute `a → a + b`, `d → d + e`, or similar, into an already-diagonal instance such as
+   `jordanTriple_diag` composed with `quadRep_mulLeft`/`quadRep_mul_self_eq_comp`, and take the
+   multi-point finite difference needed to isolate the fully mixed term). This is a strictly larger
+   calculation than either polarization already done in this file (more independent substitution
+   points, hence more simultaneous equations to combine), but uses no new machinery beyond `module`
+   and `linear_combination (norm := module)`, which have handled every polarization step so far.
+2. Alternatively, formalize Macdonald's transfer principle for the one-relation case actually
+   needed here: since `mulLeft_triple_normalize` already reduces any `L (a * (b * c))` to a
+   polynomial in single/double-product multiplication operators, investigate whether the *same*
+   normalization, applied systematically to every multiplication appearing in the expansion of
+   `U (U a b) x`, terminates in a expression built only from `L_a`, `L_b`, `L_{a*a}`, `L_{b*b}`,
+   `L_{a*b}` (and their compositions) — i.e. whether the one-generated-by-two-elements associative
+   normal form already implicit in `mulLeft_triple_normalize` is strong enough to finish the
+   computation by pure linear algebra of operator compositions, without ever invoking the Jordan
+   triple identity as a separate black box. This has not been tried and may be more tractable than
+   (1), since it reuses `mulLeft_triple_normalize` directly instead of introducing new algebra.
+
+Either route is real, substantial work (on the order of the effort already spent on the cubic-law
+polarization, or more), not a short patch.
+
+**Route 2 attempted (this session): makes genuine progress at its first level, then provably
+stalls at the second, with the obstruction now precisely characterized rather than assumed.**
+Pushing `mulLeft_triple_normalize` further does yield a real, previously-unestablished theorem:
+`mulLeft_quadRep_normalize` in `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean` normalizes `L (U a b)` completely, with
+no remaining atom of the same bidegree as `U a b` itself:
+
+```text
+L (U a b) = 2 • (L a).comp (L (a * b)) + (L b).comp (L (a * a))
+  - 2 • ((L a).comp (L a)).comp (L b) - 2 • ((L b).comp (L a)).comp (L a)
+  + 2 • ((L a).comp (L b)).comp (L a)
+```
+
+obtained by applying `mulLeft_triple_normalize` once to `a * (a * b)` and once to `b * (a * a)`
+(identifying `jpow a 2 * b` with `b * (a * a)` by commutativity), then taking the exact
+`2 • (first) - (second)` combination matching `quadRep_apply`'s own expansion of `U a b`. This is
+real headway: `L (U a b)` was not previously known in closed form.
+
+However, this does **not** propagate to a second level. `quadRep_quadRep_eq`, also now proved,
+gives the exact reduction
+
+```text
+U (U a b) = 4 • U (a * (a * b)) - 4 • quadRepBilin (a * (a * b)) (jpow a 2 * b) + U (jpow a 2 * b)
+```
+
+by bare bilinearity of `quadRepBilin` in `quadRep_apply`'s expansion `U a b = 2 • (a * (a * b)) -
+jpow a 2 * b` (no Jordan identity needed for this step — it is proved `omit [IsCommJordan E]`).
+The diagnosis this makes precise: `a * (a * b)` and `jpow a 2 * b` are themselves elements of
+exactly the same bidegree `(2, 1)` in `(a, b)` as `U a b` itself. So this identity trades the
+single degree-`(4, 2)`-operator problem `U (U a b)` for **three** subproblems of the identical
+difficulty (`U (a * (a * b))`, `U (jpow a 2 * b)`, and their cross-effect
+`quadRepBilin (a * (a * b)) (jpow a 2 * b)`), not for anything simpler — there is no smaller base
+case to induct into. Repeating `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize`-style operator normalization on these
+new targets does not terminate the way it did for `L (U a b)`, because the compound arguments
+`a * (a * b)` and `jpow a 2 * b` are exactly as far from being "generators" as `U a b` was; the
+normalization only ever shifts the same bidegree around among bilinear cross-effects, it never
+reduces it. Route 2 is therefore confirmed exhausted as a *self-contained* strategy: it cannot
+close the fundamental formula without eventually invoking the same extra degree of freedom that
+the Jordan-triple fundamental identity supplies. Route 1 (formalizing that identity) remains the
+correct next step, now with the added benefit that `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize` and
+`quadRep_quadRep_eq` are themselves reusable lemmas (e.g. as sanity checks or partial computation
+shortcuts) for whichever session attempts it.
+
+**Update (this session): the "linear substitution" half of route 1 is now rigorously excluded, not
+just empirically untried.** Before attempting a Lean proof of the triple identity
+`{a, b, {a, d, c}} = {{a, b, a}, d, c} - {a, {b, a, d}, c} + {a, d, {a, b, c}}` by hand, this session
+first checked, by an independent offline linear-algebra computation (not a Lean tactic search),
+exactly how much of it the *linear* span of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` instances can reach. The
+computation: represent the free **commutative, non-associative** ℚ-algebra on formal generators
+`a, b, c, d` by canonical binary-tree monomials (commutative at every node, no associativity
+imposed); implement `jordanTriple` and `U` literally by their defining formulas as bilinear/
+quadratic operations on these formal polynomials; expand both sides of the target identity to get
+a target difference vector (33 nonzero monomials — confirmed nonzero, so the identity is a genuine
+consequence of the Jordan axiom, not a formal identity of the raw definitions); then generate every
+instance of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator (p, q, r, x)` obtainable by substituting, into its four
+argument slots, either one of `a, b, c, d` (with repetition) or a single degree-2 product of two of
+them, subject to the four slots jointly consuming exactly the multiset `{a, a, b, c, d}` (the only
+degree split compatible with a degree-5 target from a multilinear degree-4 identity is
+`(2, 1, 1, 1)`, so this enumeration is exhaustive for *any* single-compound-slot substitution, and
+by multilinearity of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` in each of its four slots, every linear combination
+of instances at summed arguments — such as the `a ± b` polarization trick used throughout
+`Fundamental.lean` — already reduces to a linear combination of these same atomic/single-compound
+instances, so the enumeration also covers every identity in this file provable by that trick,
+including `mulLeft_triple_normalize`, `quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization`, and their kin evaluated
+at a compound point). Result: 132 relation instances span a 25-dimensional subspace of the
+60-dimensional degree-`(2,1,1,1)` monomial space, and adjoining the target difference raises the
+rank to 26 — i.e. the target is **provably outside the span**. This means no amount of further
+`linear_combination`-style assembly of sums/differences of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` instances
+(equivalently, of any identity in this file derived from it purely by the `a ± b`-substitution
+technique) can close the triple identity, no matter how many substitution points are tried; the
+earlier "both routes exhausted by attempt" finding for the closely related `U (U a b)` target is
+therefore now reinforced by an actual rank computation for the triple-identity target specifically,
+not merely inferred from the two problems' inter-derivability. Closing the triple identity
+necessarily requires a genuinely **non-linear** composition step — squaring/multiplying two
+already-derived identities together (as `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization` did via
+`quadRep_add_mul_self_eq_comp`, or as route 2's `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize` /
+`quadRep_quadRep_eq` did via operator composition) rather than a further linear substitution — and
+route 2's own composition attempt already stalls at exactly this kind of step for the parity target.
+The concrete recommendation for whoever resumes: do not spend further effort on `a ± b`-style linear
+polarization variants of the triple identity (this is now excluded by direct computation, not
+assumption); the remaining open avenues are (a) a genuine two-step nonlinear composition specific to
+the triple-product form (not yet attempted, since route 2's composition attempt was carried out only
+in the `U`/operator formulation, not the `jordanTriple` formulation, and the two need not stall at
+the identical point), or (b) Macdonald's transfer principle for special Jordan algebras, which is a
+structural/representational argument rather than a polynomial-identity manipulation and would need
+its own development (e.g. via the one-generated-by-two-elements associative sector already partly
+explored in `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize`'s proof). No new Lean declarations were added this session
+in `Quadratic/Triple.lean` or `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`, since no proof attempt succeeded and
+`§5` forbids landing a `sorry`; the verification script and its exact method are recorded here so
+the negative result does not need to be rediscovered.
+
+Once Stage A item 1 lands, Stage C items 5–6 become tractable, and only after that does the
+intrinsic JBW spectral resolution of an observable (Stage E items 4–5) become fully load-bearing:
+`ProjectionResolution.lean` and `scalarBoundedBorel` already supply the shared bounded Borel
+calculus engine, but constructing the resolution *of an observable* genuinely needs `U_a`
+positivity to build its spectral projections order-theoretically. Do not attempt Stage E ahead of
+Stage A item 1 by substituting a concrete (Cstar/Hilbert-space) spectral measure for the missing
+abstract step; that would violate the file-discipline rule that abstract JB/JBW files must not
+import a concrete realization.
+
+**Update (this session): route 2 attempted and confirmed exhausted; route 1 is now the only open
+path.** Two new theorems are proved in `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean`:
+
+- `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize`: a genuine, previously-missing closed form for `L (U a b)` purely in
+  terms of compositions of `L a`, `L b`, `L (a * a)`, `L (a * b)` — obtained by pushing
+  `mulLeft_triple_normalize` a further step, exactly the "route 2" candidate this roadmap flagged
+  as untried.
+- `quadRep_quadRep_eq`: the exact bilinear reduction
+  `U (U a b) = 4 • U (a * (a * b)) - 4 • quadRepBilin (a * (a * b)) (jpow a 2 * b) + U (jpow a 2 * b)`,
+  proved from bare `quadRepBilin` bilinearity with no Jordan-identity input.
+
+Together these show route 2 cannot self-terminate: `L (U a b)` normalizes cleanly (first level),
+but the resulting `U (U a b)` reduction lands on three new subproblems (`U (a * (a * b))`,
+`U (jpow a 2 * b)`, and their `quadRepBilin` cross-effect) of the *same* `(2, 1)`-bidegree
+difficulty as the original `U a b`, not a smaller one — there is no base case to induct on this
+way. **Stage A item 1's correct next step is therefore unambiguously route 1**: formalize the
+Jordan-triple fundamental identity
+`{a, b, {a, d, c}} = {{a, b, a}, d, c} - {a, {b, a, d}, c} + {a, d, {a, b, c}}` in
+`Quadratic/Triple.lean` by genuine multi-point linearization, as described above. `Quadratic/
+Fundamental.lean`'s existing lemmas (`mulLeft_triple_normalize`, `mulLeft_quadRep_normalize`,
+`quadRep_quadRep_eq`, `quadRepBilin_comp_self_polarization`,
+`quadRepBilin_mulLeft_polarization`/`'`) are all available as reusable building blocks or sanity
+checks for that attempt, but none of them, individually or combined, supply the missing degree of
+freedom by themselves.
+
+**Route 1 landed (2026-09-13).** Rather than proving the triple identity directly by linearization
+(shown separately, by an independent offline rank computation, to be unreachable by *linear*
+substitution alone — see the addendum above), the identity was obtained instead via the standard
+Jordan-triple-system operator toolkit, which supplies exactly the missing nonlinear degree of
+freedom. New declarations, all in `Quadratic/Fundamental.lean` (the inner-derivation primitive
+itself, `innerDerivation`/`innerDerivation_apply`/`innerDerivation_swap`/`innerDerivation_self`,
+lives in `Operator.lean`, at the weakest level — bare `NonAssocCommRing` — since it is independently
+useful infrastructure beyond this one theorem):
+
+- `innerDerivation_add_left`/`_smul_left`/`_add_right`/`_smul_right`/`_sub_left`/`_sub_right`:
+  bilinearity of `D_{a,b} := [L_a, L_b]` in both defining arguments.
+- **`innerDerivation_mul`** (the key nonlinear fact): `D_{a,b}` is a genuine derivation of the
+  Jordan product, `D_{a,b}(x*y) = (D_{a,b}x)*y + x*(D_{a,b}y)`. Proved from exactly two atomic
+  instances of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator` (`cyclic_mulLeft_commutator a x y b` and
+  `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator b x y a`), composed rather than linearly polarized — this is precisely
+  the nonlinear composition step the rank computation showed no linear substitution could reach.
+- `innerDerivation_mulLeft_comm`: the derivation law restated as an operator commutator,
+  `[D_{a,b}, L_x] = L_{D_{a,b}x}`.
+- `innerDerivation_comm`: the double commutator
+  `[D_{a,b}, D_{c,d}] = D_{D_{a,b}c,d} + D_{c,D_{a,b}d}`, pure associative operator algebra from the
+  above.
+- `innerDerivation_mul_left`: `D_{a*b,q} = D_{a,b*q} + D_{b,a*q}`, from one further atomic instance
+  of `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator`.
+- `tripleOperator`/notation `V`, `triple_eq_V_apply`: `V_{a,b} := L_{a*b} + D_{a,b}` computes the
+  Jordan triple product in its middle slot, `V_{a,b}x = {a,b,x}`.
+- **`tripleOperator_comm`** (the target): `[V_{a,b}, V_{c,d}] = V_{\{a,b,c\},d} - V_{c,\{b,a,d\}}`,
+  the operator form of the Jordan-triple-system fundamental identity, proved entirely from the
+  building blocks above plus `cyclic_mulLeft_commutator`. Applying both sides to any element gives
+  the classical identity `{a,b,{c,d,e}} = \{\{a,b,c\},d,e\} - \{c,\{b,a,d\},e\} + \{c,d,\{a,b,e\}\}`;
+  setting `c := a` gives the originally-targeted three-variable identity.
+
+All new declarations build clean, no `sorry`/`admit`/`axiom`; full `lake build PhyslibAlpha`, 9008
+
+## 2026 correction: the general quadratic fundamental formula is complete
+
+The historical passages above which describe Stage A item 1, Stage C items 5--6, or the
+Jordan-triple fundamental identity as blocked are superseded by the current executable source.
+`Quadratic/Fundamental.lean` now proves, at bare real commutative-Jordan generality,
+
+```text
+quadRep_fundamental_apply : U (U x y) z = U x (U y (U x z))
+quadRep_fundamental       : U (U x y) = U x ∘ U y ∘ U x.
+```
+
+The proof goes through `tripleOperator_comm`, `V_quadRep_eq_quadRep_triple`, and a direct
+three-variable triple-product calculation; it is neither a one-generated restriction nor a
+special/Cstar transfer.  Consequently, the next critical theorem is **positivity of `U a` for a
+JB order-unit algebra**, followed by its norm bounds and the extreme-effect/projection theorem.
+Those results must use this now-proved formula (or an equally intrinsic spectral argument), and
+must not retain any claim that the formula itself is missing.
+
+### Correction on quadratic positivity
+
+The fundamental formula is necessary algebraic infrastructure but is not, by itself, a proof that
+`U a` preserves the JB positive cone.  The standard JB route is the **Shirshov--Cohn theorem**:
+the unital JB subalgebra generated by the two elements `a` and `b` is special, where the desired
+claim becomes `U a b = a b a ≥ 0` for `b ≥ 0`.  Formalizing this two-generator specialness theorem
+(or an equivalent intrinsic JB positivity theorem) is therefore the actual missing prerequisite
+for Stage C.5--C.6.  It must be developed at the JB level and cannot be replaced by the existing
+one-generator CFC or by merely restating `U`-positivity as a class field.
+jobs, 0 errors, only pre-existing unrelated warnings in `HilbertSpace/Unbounded/...`.
+
+**Superseded — Stage A item 1 is now complete**, per the "2026 correction" section above:
+`quadRep_fundamental`/`quadRep_fundamental_apply` prove `U (U x y) = U x ∘ U y ∘ U x` at full
+generality (`tripleOperator_quadRep_step` and `V_quadRep_eq_quadRep_triple` are the two intermediate
+lemmas that close the gap from `tripleOperator_comm` to this target). Full `lake build PhyslibAlpha`,
+9015 jobs, 0 errors, no `sorry`/`admit`/`axiom`. **The concrete resume point is now Stage C.5–6 /
+Stage A item 2**, per the "Correction on quadratic positivity" section immediately above: JB
+positivity of `U_a` needs the Shirshov–Cohn two-generator specialness theorem (or an equivalent
+intrinsic JB positivity argument), not merely the fundamental formula proved here.

+# Lüders operations in an ordered JB algebra
+
+An effect `e` has an intrinsic positive square root supplied by one-observable JB functional
+calculus.  The quadratic representation of that root is the Jordan Lüders operation
+
+`x ↦ U_(sqrt e) x`.
+
+Quadratic positivity is kept as an explicit ordered-Jordan capability.  Its eventual intrinsic

+
+## i. Overview
+
+This file connects the bare Jordan-power API of `Operator.lean` to the existing state/effect
+physics API from `OrderUnit`:
+
+- `moment n ω a := ω (a ^[n])` is the `n`-th moment of the observable `a` in the state `ω`.
+- `variance ω a` is the generic `LinearMap.variance` of the state's underlying functional.  In a
+  Jordan algebra it is `Var_ω(a) = ω(a²) - ω(a)²`.
+- A **Jordan projection** is `p` with `p ∘ p = p`; two Jordan projections are **orthogonal** when
+  `p ∘ q = 0`. These are the Jordan-algebraic analogues of `Effect.IsSharp`/`Effect.Orthogonal`
+  (`OrderUnit/Effect/Basic.lean`) — in the canonical C⋆-algebra realization the two notions of
+  projection and orthogonality agree exactly with the star-algebra ones
+  (`CStarAlgebra/SharpEffect.lean`), which is what `CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` verifies.

+# Powers, multiplication operators, and the quadratic representation
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Three pieces of observable API sit directly on top of the bare Jordan product:
+
+- **Powers** `a ^[n]`, defined by the obvious recursion `a^[0] = 1`, `a^[n+1] = a ∘ a^[n]`. This
+  is a fixed bracketing (always multiply by `a` on the left), so it needs no power-associativity
+  theorem to be well defined — it is simply iterated application of `L_a`.
+- **The multiplication operator** `L a`, `L a b = a ∘ b`, linear in `b` because the Jordan product
+  is real-bilinear.
+- **The quadratic representation** `U a := 2 L_a² - L_{a²}`. In the special (associative) case this
+  is exactly `U_a(b) = a b a`, the two-sided operator-conjugation map —
+  `CStarAlgebra/Jordan.lean` proves this
+  identity for the canonical C⋆-algebra realization. Abstractly, `U_a` is the Jordan-algebraic
+  substitute for "conjugate by `a`", available even though the raw associative product `aba` does
+  not typecheck at this level of generality.
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `IsJordanOrderUnit.jpow`, notation `a ^[n]`
+- `IsJordanOrderUnit.mulLeft`, notation `L`
+- `IsJordanOrderUnit.quadRep`, notation `U`
+- `IsJordanOrderUnit.quadRep_apply`
+
+## iii. Table of contents
+
+- A. Powers
+- B. The multiplication operator `L_a`
+- C. The quadratic representation `U_a`

+# Strong power-associativity of a single Jordan element
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Power-associativity is the classical fact (Albert 1947; see Jacobson, *Structure and
+Representations of Jordan Algebras*, or McCrimmon, *A Taste of Jordan Algebras*, Ch. II) that the
+subalgebra generated by a single element `a` of a Jordan algebra is *associative*: not merely that
+the fixed-bracketing powers `a^[n]` from `Operator.lean` are unambiguous (they always were, being
+defined by a single recursion), but that
+$$ a^{[m]} \circ a^{[n]} = a^{[m+n]} \quad \text{for every } m, n, $$
+and more generally that arbitrary polynomials in `a` associate under `∘`. This is what makes
+`J[a] := \operatorname{span}\{1, a, a^2, \dots\}` (`GeneratedByOne.lean`) into a genuine
+commutative *associative* ring, letting the whole downstream single-observable spectral theory
+(`JB/GeneratedByOne/*`) reduce to mathlib's ordinary associative machinery instead of needing a
+bespoke non-associative functional calculus.
+
+**The operator recursion.** Polarizing the Jordan identity gives an expression for
+`L_{(a² * y)}` in terms of `L_a`, `L_{a²}`, `L_y`, and `L_{a*y}`. Applied to `y = a^[n]`, this
+shows recursively that every `L_{a^[n]}` is a polynomial in the commuting operators `L_a` and
+`L_{a²}`. In particular, `L_a` commutes with every multiplication operator of one of its powers.
+
+Strong power-associativity then follows by a routine induction: assuming
+`a^{[m]} ∘ a^{[n]} = a^{[m+n]}`,
+$$ a^{[m]} \circ a^{[n+1]} = a^{[m]} \circ (a \circ a^{[n]}) = a \circ (a^{[m]} \circ a^{[n]})
+   = a \circ a^{[m+n]} = a^{[m+n+1]}, $$
+where the middle step is exactly `commute_mulLeft_pow m` evaluated at `a^{[n]}`.

+# The subalgebra generated by a single element
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`J[a] := \operatorname{span}_ℝ\{1, a, a^2, a^3, \dots\}`: the smallest ℝ-subspace of a Jordan
+order-unit algebra containing `1` and closed under `∘`-multiplication by `a`. Every element of
+`J[a]` is (by definition of `span`) a finite real-linear combination of powers `a^{[n]}`.
+
+This file only builds the *module*-level object and its membership API; the payoff — that `J[a]`
+carries a genuine commutative *associative* ring structure, reducing single-observable spectral
+theory to mathlib's ordinary associative machinery (`Power/Associative.lean`'s module docstring
+spells out the architecture) — is `Ring.lean`.

+# `J[a]` is a commutative associative unital algebra
+
+## i. Overview
+
+This is the payoff of `Power/Associative.lean` and `Power/GeneratedByOne.lean`: the subalgebra
+`J[a] = generatedByOne a`, equipped with the Jordan product `∘` restricted to it
+(`mul_mem_generatedByOne` shows this restriction lands back in `J[a]`), is a genuine commutative
+**associative** unital `ℝ`-algebra. Associativity is not assumed — it is *proved*, by expanding
+any three elements of `J[a]` into finite linear combinations of powers of `a` and reducing to
+`pow_add`'s monomial identity `a^{[m]} \circ a^{[n]} = a^{[m+n]}` (itself associative on the nose,
+since `ℕ`-addition is). This is exactly the classical reduction the module docstring of
+`Power/Associative.lean` describes:
+$$ C(\sigma(a), \mathbb R) \xrightarrow{\text{CFC}} J[a] \xrightarrow{\iota} E, $$
+and this file is what makes the left-hand associative algebra `J[a]` an honest object mathlib's
+ordinary `CommRing`/`Algebra ℝ` machinery applies to, rather than needing any bespoke
+non-associative functional calculus.
+
+`J[a]` is packaged as a `Submodule ℝ E` (from `GeneratedByOne.lean`) rather than a fresh type: the
+`Subtype`/coercion API this gives for free (`Submodule.subtype`, `AddSubmonoid`, ...) is exactly
+what is needed, and it keeps the inclusion `ι : J[a] → E` (the second arrow above) definitionally
+trivial rather than something to construct.
+
+The power-associativity theorem in `Power/Associative.lean` is proved from the polarized Jordan
+identity, so the associative ring structure produced here is unconditional.

+object obtained by requiring each event effect to be an idempotent and intersections to be

+
+This definition is intentionally below JBW.  It needs neither monotone completeness as a class

+It is the central composition law for quadratic representations.  This module is kept separate

+# Positive quadratic representations
+
+The quadratic representation `U a` is the intrinsic Jordan version of the
+self-adjoint one-Kraus operation `b ↦ aba`.  Its preservation of the positive cone is the
+precise operational fact used by compression and conditioning.  It is intentionally a separate
+capability: square positivity alone does not prove it for an arbitrary supplied cone, and the
+intrinsic JB theorem which discharges this capability belongs to the later spectral development.
+
+Concrete realizations and, eventually, genuine JB theory provide this class.  Physics-facing
+results should require it directly rather than importing a proof through a special associative
+realization.

+# Quadratic compression by Jordan projections
+
+For an idempotent `p` in a real Jordan algebra, its quadratic representation `U p` is itself an
+idempotent linear map.  This is the algebraic core of the Peirce-`1` compression.  The results
+here deliberately make no positivity, norm, or order assertion: those require genuinely JB-level
+input.
+
+The elementary values `U_p(p) = p`, `U_p(1) = p`, and `U_p(q) = 0` for `p ∘ q = 0` are provided
+by `Observable.lean`; this module builds the nontrivial operator-idempotence consequence without

+# The Jordan triple product
+
+The symmetric polarization of the quadratic representation has a more structural form: the
+Jordan triple product
+
+`{a, b, c} = a * (b * c) + c * (b * a) - (a * c) * b`.
+
+It is symmetric and bilinear in the outer variables and linear in the middle variable. Its
+diagonal is precisely the quadratic representation, `{a, b, a} = U_a b`. Thus it is the right
+language for the multivariable (Macdonald) proof of the quadratic fundamental formula.

+# Jordan derivations and infinitesimal symmetries
+
+This is the bundled companion to the generic predicate `IsDerivation`.  A Jordan derivation is
+an infinitesimal reversible symmetry of an observable algebra; the module gives such generators
+a stable carrier, while `inner` packages commutators of multiplication operators.  It is wholly
+algebraic and sits below order units, JB norms, Cstar realizations, and JBW normality.
+
+The design is adapted from Cobord's `Jordan/StructureAlgebra.lean`, but reuses PhyslibAlpha's
+canonical `IsDerivation`, `innerDerivation`, and proved triple-commutator identities rather than
+introducing a parallel Jordan class or multiplication-operator API.

+# Finite-outcome measurements
+
+A finite-outcome measurement is a finite family of effects whose total is the order unit. The
+outcome *type* `ι` need not itself be finite — only finitely many outcomes need actually occur,
+recorded by an explicit `Finset ι` of outcomes — so a measurement can, for instance, be labeled by
+all of `ℕ` or `ℝ` while only ever registering finitely many of those labels. Evaluating a
+measurement in a state gives a probability distribution on its (finite) outcome set, directly in
+`ℝ`: a state is already a genuine linear functional, so its values on the (bounded) effects of a
+measurement are already finite nonnegative reals summing to `1`, with no detour through `Weight`'s
+`[0, ∞]`-valued arithmetic needed.
+
+This sits outside `OrderUnit/`: it is a derived notion built *from* `Effect` and `State`, not part
+of the order-unit algebra itself, the same way `Traciality.lean` sits outside `OrderUnit/` despite
+being built from `Weight`. `FiniteOutcome.lean` gives the equivalent, order-unit-level presentation
+of the same data: a measurement is exactly a channel out of the classical `ι`-outcome system.

+# The classical system with finitely many outcomes
+
+For a finite outcome type `ι`, `ι → ℝ` is the order-unit space of a classical system that can show
+one of the outcomes in `ι`: the order is pointwise, and the order unit `1` is the function
+constantly `1`, i.e. the "certain event". This is the domain a finite-outcome measurement is a
+channel *from*, in the sense of `Measurement` (`FiniteOutcome.lean`): an outcome `i` corresponds to
+the indicator function `Pi.single i 1`, and a positive unital map out of `ι → ℝ` is exactly a
+choice of effect for each outcome, summing to the certain event.
+
+Everything but `IsOrderUnit`/`IsArchimedeanOrderUnit` is already provided by the generic `Pi`
+instances for an ordered `ℝ`-vector space; what is special to a *finite* index type is that `1` is
+already the biggest thing around, since a finite set of reals is bounded.

+# Compatible measurements
+
+Two measurements are compatible when a single joint measurement, on the classical *product* of
+their outcome types, marginalizes — via postprocessing along the two coordinate projections — to
+both. Compatibility of measurements is exactly this classical-output specialization of channel
+compatibility (a joint channel into a composite system, marginalized by the two partial-trace
+channels); the classical product `ι × κ → ℝ` needs no composite-system theory to build, since
+`ι × κ` is already an ordinary product type.

+# Finite-outcome measurements, as channels
+
+A finite-outcome measurement is already presented in `Measurement/Basic.lean` as a finite family
+of effects summing to `1`. This file gives the *other* presentation, promised as future work in
+`OrderUnit/Channel/Basic.lean`: a finite-outcome measurement with outcome type `ι` (`ι` itself
+finite, every label actually occurring) is the same thing as a channel out of the classical
+`ι`-outcome system `ι → ℝ` (`ClassicalSystem.lean`) — a positive unital linear map
+`(ι → ℝ) →ₚ₁[ℝ] E` — and `channelEquiv` is the equivalence witnessing this.
+
+The correspondence is the standard basis expansion for `ι → ℝ`: the point mass `Pi.single i 1` at
+outcome `i` plays the role of the classical indicator function `𝟙_{i}`, `toChannel` sends a family
+of effects to the (unique, by linearity) channel matching it on every point mass, and
+`outcomeEffect` reads the family back off a channel by evaluating it at each point mass.

+# Instruments
+
+A finite-outcome instrument retains more than a measurement: not just the outcome probabilities,
+but the transformed, post-measurement system too. It is a finite family of operations (one per
+outcome, `Instrument.op`) whose images of the certain event sum to exactly `1` — the instrument as
+a whole loses no probability, even though each individual operation may.
+
+Forgetting the post-measurement state and keeping only the outcome probabilities recovers a
+`Measurement` (`Instrument.measurement`); pairing a prior state with an outcome, when that outcome
+has nonzero probability, gives the conditional (post-measurement, renormalized) state
+(`Instrument.conditionalState`).

+# Measurable-outcome measurements, pushed forward along a normal channel
+
+An `EffectValuedMeasure Ω C` is already exactly a measurable-outcome measurement with classical
+output `C`: the general definition promised in `OrderUnit/Channel/Basic.lean` — a channel out of
+bounded measurable functions `B_b(Ω, ℝ)` — restricts on indicator functions to precisely this data,
+`countably_additive'` being the trace of the channel's order-continuity on indicators alone. This
+file gives the other half: pushing such a measure forward along a further, genuinely normal
+channel `C →ₚ₁[ℝ] E` keeps it an effect-valued measure — countable additivity survives because the
+channel is linear (so it commutes with finite partial sums) and normal (so it commutes with their
+supremum).

+# Postprocessing a finite-outcome measurement
+
+A classical channel that relabels, coarse-grains, or adds noise to the outcomes of a measurement
+— from raw outcomes `ι` to coarse outcomes `κ` — is, in the same Heisenberg convention as every
+other channel here, a positive unital linear map `K : (κ → ℝ) →ₚ₁[ℝ] (ι → ℝ)`: it pulls functions
+of the coarse outcome back to functions of the raw one. Given a measurement `M : (ι → ℝ) →ₚ₁[ℝ] E`,
+its postprocessing through `K` is `M.comp K`, already meaningful with no new definition needed —
+this is the entire point of presenting measurements as channels (`FiniteOutcome.lean`):
+postprocessing is composition.
+
+`stochasticMatrixEquiv` identifies such classical channels concretely: `ι → ℝ` is itself a
+classical order-unit space (`ClassicalSystem.lean`), so `channelEquiv` applies to it verbatim, and
+uncurrying its family of effects turns a classical channel into exactly what one would expect —
+a row-stochastic matrix, a probability distribution over `κ` for every raw outcome in `ι`.
+
+A deterministic relabeling `f : κ → ι` of outcomes — no randomness, just reading off `f k` — gives
+the simplest classical channel of all, `classicalPullback f`; `Compatibility.lean` builds the
+coordinate projections of a product outcome type out of it.

+# Probability laws of effect-valued measurements
+
+A real-valued effect measure is exactly a probability measure: its values lie in `[0, 1]`, and
+its order-theoretic countable additivity becomes `ENNReal` countable additivity after applying
+`ENNReal.ofReal`.  Consequently, scalarizing a POVM by a normal state produces an ordinary
+probability law.

+# Order units and the positive cone
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`E` is where measurement outcomes and expectation values live, and `≤` is the natural order on
+them: `0 ≤ x` means `x` could be a probability, or the expectation value of a
+positive observable — since no measurement ever returns something negative.
+
+`1 : E` is the certain outcome, i.e. the identity operator. `IsOrderUnit` says it's the biggest
+thing around: every outcome is bounded by finitely many copies of `1`, which is what lets us later
+squeeze an effect between `0` and `1` or normalize a state. `IsArchimedeanOrderUnit` adds one more
+thing: nothing is infinitesimally smaller than `1` without actually being `≤ 0`. That's what lets
+`≤` become an actual distance between states later, not just a comparison.
+
+`PosCone E` is just the possible outcomes on their own. Adding two of them, or scaling one down by
+a probability, keeps you among possible outcomes, and does so as a `ℝ≥0`-module.

+# Channels
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A channel from system `A` to system `B` is, in the Schrödinger picture, an affine map on states.
+Dualizing gives a unital positive linear map on effects in the other direction (the Heisenberg
+picture): `UnitalPositiveLinearMap` is exactly that dual, and `E₁ →ₚ₁[R] E₂` reads as "the
+adjoint of a channel `A → B`" whenever `E₁`, `E₂` are the effect algebras of `A`, `B`.
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `UnitalPositiveLinearMap` is the type of positive linear maps that preserve `1`.
+- `E₁ →ₚ₁[R] E₂` is notation for it.
+- Endomorphisms `E →ₚ₁[R] E` form a monoid under composition.

+# Measure-and-prepare channels
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A channel `E₂ →ₚ₁[ℝ] E₁` (the Heisenberg picture of a Schrödinger channel `E₁ → E₂`) is
+measure-and-prepare when it factors through a finite classical system: measure the input, then
+prepare a (possibly different) output state for each outcome. Dually, this is exactly
+`Φ = M.comp P` for a measurement `M : (ι → ℝ) →ₚ₁[ℝ] E₁` (`Measurement/ClassicalSystem.lean`) and
+a "preparation" `P : E₂ →ₚ₁[ℝ] (ι → ℝ)` — itself a channel into the classical system, so a family
+of states on `E₂` indexed by `ι`, bundled the same way `Measurement` bundles a family of effects.
+
+This is the abstract, order-unit-level version of an entanglement-breaking channel: the
+factorization definition extends to any outcome type (not just finite ones) with no change, unlike
+a hard-coded sum over a fixed outcome set.

+# Normal channels
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A channel is normal when it preserves suprema of directed sets: its value at a directed supremum
+is the supremum of its values on the directed set. This is the extra continuity — beyond mere
+positivity — needed to push a countably-additive effect-valued measure forward along a channel and
+keep it countably additive (`Measurement/MeasurableOutcome.lean`); it plays the same role for
+channels that `Weight.IsNormal` plays for weights.

+# Weight pushforward along a channel
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A channel from system `A` to system `B` is, in the Schrödinger picture, an affine map on states.
+Dualizing gives a unital positive linear map on effects in the other direction (the Heisenberg
+picture): that map is already `UnitalPositiveLinearMap`, so a channel's adjoint needs no new
+structure. What *is* new is pushing a weight forward along that adjoint, and the fact that a
+state pushes forward to a state.
+
+Read `φ : E₂ →ₚ₁[ℝ] E₁` here as the adjoint of a channel `A → B` with effect algebras
+`E₁ = E_A`, `E₂ = E_B`: it pulls an effect of `B` back to an effect of `A`. Precomposing a weight
+on `A` with `φ` gives a weight on `B` — the Schrödinger-picture pushforward — and `Weight.comp_id`,
+`Weight.comp_comp` show this assignment respects identities and composition, so pushforward is a
+functor from unital positive linear maps to weights, contravariant in `φ`.

+# Composite order-unit systems
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The underlying vector space of a composite of systems `E₁` and `E₂` is the algebraic tensor
+product `E₁ ⊗[ℝ] E₂`. Its order is extra structure: in general, the orders on the factors do not
+determine a unique positive cone on the tensor product.
+
+Mathlib supplies the two canonical extremal choices. The **minimal tensor cone** is generated by
+positive elementary tensors. The **maximal tensor cone** consists of the tensors on which every
+pair of positive linear functionals takes a nonnegative value. Every compatible tensor cone lies
+between these two.
+
+`TensorCone E₁ E₂` bundles precisely such an intermediate choice. This makes it possible to state
+results for an unspecified composite model, while `TensorCone.minimal` and `TensorCone.maximal`
+recover the two extremal models. The construction uses Mathlib's `PointedCone` API throughout;
+despite its name, a `PointedCone` here means a cone containing zero, bundled as an `ℝ≥0`-submodule.

+# Effects
+
+## i. Overview
+
+An effect is a bounded element of `E`: `0 ≤ e ≤ 1`, a possible outcome of a yes/no measurement.
+
+Effects are also closed under mixing: a probabilistic combination of two effects is again an
+effect (`Effect.convex`, `Effect.mix`) — the same fact as `Set.Icc` being convex.
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `Effect E`
+- `Effect.complement`
+- `Effect.Orthogonal`, `Effect.addOfOrthogonal`
+- `Effect.mix` : a probabilistic mixture of two effects, again an effect.
+- `Effect.IsSharp` : extremality in the effect interval.

+# Integrating bounded measurable functions against an effect-valued measure
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`Effect/Integral.lean` defines `EffectValuedMeasure.simpleIntegral`. This file extends it to
+bounded measurable `f : Ω → ℝ`, assuming `E` is complete for its order-unit norm.
+
+## ii. Construction
+
+For a bound `M` with `|f x| ≤ M` and scale `n`, `meshPiece f M n` and `meshWeight M n` define a
+finite simple approximation with uniform error at most `1/(n+1)`. The comparison lemma for two
+simple approximations makes these integrals Cauchy and proves that every uniformly approximating
+sequence has the same limit. The resulting integral is independent of the bound, agrees with
+`simpleIntegral`, and is linear and positive.
+
+## iii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `EffectValuedMeasure.meshBound`, `MeshIndex`, `meshWeight`, `meshPiece` : the width-`1/(n+1)`
+  mesh simple function approximating a bounded measurable `f` with `|f x| ≤ M`, and its uniform
+  convergence to `f` (`abs_simpleValue_meshWeight_meshPiece_sub_le`).
+- `EffectValuedMeasure.orderUnitNorm_simpleIntegral_sub_le` : the key comparison lemma — two simple
+  functions within `ε`, `ε'` of `f` give simple integrals within `ε + ε'` of each other.
+- `EffectValuedMeasure.cauchySeq_meshSimpleIntegral`, `EffectValuedMeasure.integral` : the mesh
+  sequence is Cauchy, and (under `[CompleteSpace E]`, fixed via `letI`/`local instance` from
+  `IsArchimedeanOrderUnit.orderUnitNormedAddCommGroup`) `integral hf hM μ` is its limit.
+- `EffectValuedMeasure.tendsto_of_uniformly_approximating` : independence from the approximating
+  sequence — any uniformly-approximating simple-function sequence has the same limit.
+- `EffectValuedMeasure.integral_indep_of_bound`, `integral_eq_simpleIntegral` : independence from
+  the bound `M`, and agreement with `simpleIntegral` on functions that already are simple.
+- `EffectValuedMeasure.integral_add`, `integral_smul`, `nonneg_integral` : linearity and
+  positivity.

+# Effect-valued measures
+
+## i. Overview
+
+An effect-valued measure assigns each measurable set an effect, with `∅ ↦ 0`, `univ ↦ 1`, and
+countable additivity: the effects of a pairwise disjoint countable family have partial sums
+(computed in `E`, since `Effect E` is not itself closed under addition) whose least upper bound
+is the effect of their union.
+
+Once `E` is the self-adjoint part of an operator algebra, `Effect E` is a set of bounded
+operators and this is exactly what the physics literature calls a POVM (positive
+operator-valued measure). Nothing here is an operator, though: this layer only ever needed
+`Effect E` to be bounded elements of an ordered vector space, which is why the name doesn't
+mention operators.

+# Integrating a simple function against an effect-valued measure
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`EffectValuedMeasure Ω E` (`OrderUnit/Effect/EffectValuedMeasure.lean`'s POVM) already assigns an
+effect to every measurable event. Physically, an *observable* with outcome space `(Ω, Σ)` is
+recovered from its POVM `μ` by integration: `∫ f dμ ∈ E` for a bounded measurable `f : Ω → ℝ`,
+generalizing the finite-outcome case (`Measurement.toChannel`, `Measurement/FiniteOutcome.lean`,
+which is exactly `∫ · dμ` restricted to functions built from finitely many point masses on a
+finite outcome space).
+
+The first, and hardest, step is integrating a *simple* function — one built from finitely many
+measurable pieces `s : ι → Set Ω` (`Fintype ι`, pairwise disjoint, covering `Ω`) with real weights
+`c : ι → ℝ`, i.e. the function `∑ i, c i • 𝟙_{s i}`. The naive definition `∑ i, c i • μ(s i)`
+obviously depends on the chosen partition `(c, s)`, not just on the function it represents; the
+crux fact making the construction sound is that it doesn't, *as long as `(c, s)` are read off
+honestly*: two partitions representing the same function against the same `μ` give the same value.
+That's `simpleIntegral_eq_of_pointwise_eq` below, proved by passing to the common refinement
+`s i ∩ s' j` of the two partitions and using finite additivity of `μ` (itself derived here from the
+countable additivity already built into `EffectValuedMeasure`, by padding a finite disjoint family
+with `∅` and reading the eventual value off the least upper bound `countably_additive` promises,
+since every value of `μ` is a nonnegative effect and the resulting partial sums are therefore
+nondecreasing).
+
+This file stops at simple functions: extending to all bounded measurable functions by a
+uniform-limit argument needs enough completeness of `E` to let the limit land somewhere, which
+this generic order-unit layer does not yet provide (see `OrderUnit/Norm.lean`'s
+`orderUnitNormedAddCommGroup`, which is a `def`, not a registered instance, precisely because no
+canonical topology is fixed at this level of generality) — left as future work, see the docstring
+remark at the end of this file.

+# The order-unit norm
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`IsOrderUnit` only lets us compare outcomes to `1`; `IsArchimedeanOrderUnit` is what turns that
+into an actual distance. `orderUnitNorm x` is the least `r` with `-r • 1 ≤ x ≤ r • 1` — how many
+copies of the certain outcome it takes to sandwich `x` on both sides. This is a genuine norm, not
+just a seminorm, exactly because nothing is infinitesimally close to `0` without being `0`.

+# Operations
+
+## i. Overview
+
+An operation on `E` is a positive linear endomorphism that is not required to be unital: unlike a
+channel (`Channel/Basic.lean`), it can lose "probability mass" — the way a single, non-selective
+outcome of a measurement transforms a state without necessarily preserving its normalization.
+What keeps it physical rather than an arbitrary positive map is that it never *gains* mass either:
+`op 1 ≤ 1`. A channel is exactly an operation with `op 1 = 1` (`Channel/Basic.lean`'s
+`UnitalPositiveLinearMap`); a finite family of operations whose images of `1` sum to exactly `1`
+is an instrument (`Measurement/Instrument.lean`).

+
+## i. Overview
+
+A state is a normalized positive linear functional: an element of `𝓟[𝕜, A]`, the positive linear
+functionals on `A`, that sends the unit to `1`. `𝓢[𝕜, A]` is just `A →ₚ₁[𝕜] 𝕜` — the state space
+is a special case of the channel type, with the target system the base field itself.
+
+## ii. Key definitions
+
+- `𝓟[𝕜, A]` is the type of positive linear functionals on an ordered `𝕜`-vector space.
+- `𝓢[𝕜, A]` is the state space of an ordered `𝕜`-vector space with unit.
+- `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.onEffect` is the probability assigned by a real state to an effect.

+## i. Overview
+
+A system is prepared in state `ω₀` with prior probability `p₀`, or `ω₁` with prior `p₁`. Guess
+which from a single yes/no test (an effect `e`): guess `0` if `e` clicks, `1` otherwise. The
+optimal guess succeeds with probability
+
+  `optimalSuccessProb ω₀ ω₁ p₀ p₁ = p₁ + sup_e (p₀ * ω₀ e - p₁ * ω₁ e)`
+  (`optimalSuccessProb_eq`)
+
+— the Helstrom bound, in the same spirit as the familiar `(1 + ‖p₀ρ₀ - p₁ρ₁‖₁) / 2` trace-distance
+formula, here with the effect supremum playing the trace norm's role directly.

+# States are bounded by the order-unit norm
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A state assigns real numbers to observables with no continuity assumed anywhere — `𝓢[ℝ, E]` is
+built purely from positivity and unitality. It turns out to be bounded
+regardless: `|ω x| ≤ ‖x‖`, the order-unit norm of `OrderUnit/Norm.lean`. Physically, a state can
+never predict an expectation value bigger than the biggest an observable can actually read, and
+this is exactly that fact, with the tightest possible constant.

+# Normality under the state/weight equivalence
+
+A normal state yields a normal finite normalized weight through the canonical map
+`UnitalPositiveLinearMap.toWeight`.  The two predicates have intentionally different domains:
+state normality is about directed suprema in the whole ordered space, whereas a weight is only
+defined on the positive cone.  The theorem below transports suprema across that inclusion rather
+than defining a duplicate normal-state predicate.
+
+The converse is deliberately not asserted at this generality.  An arbitrary directed set with a
+supremum need not have one common lower bound, so it cannot in general be shifted wholesale into
+the positive cone.  A reverse theorem requires either a bounded-below version of state normality
+or a strengthened weight predicate that controls those translated directed families.

+
+The positive cone of an Archimedean order-unit space is closed in the order-unit norm. Geometric
+Hahn--Banach separation therefore produces, for every point outside that cone, a continuous linear
+functional that is nonnegative on the cone and negative at that point. The order unit forces this
+functional to take a strictly positive value at `1`, so it can be normalized to a state.

+# Equivalence between states and finite normalized weights
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A state is, on its own terms, a normalized positive linear functional — `𝓢[ℝ, E]`, already fully
+built in `State/Basic.lean`. It is not *defined* as a weight; `Weight.stateEquiv` is the genuine
+theorem connecting the two independent notions, replacing what would otherwise be an inheritance
+chain forcing every state-level fact through weight machinery.
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `Weight.IsState.toUnitalPositiveLinearMap` : a state weight, as a state.
+- `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.toWeight` : a state, as a (finite, normalized) weight.
+- `Weight.stateEquiv` : the equivalence between the two.
+- `Weight.finiteEquiv` : finite weights correspond to positive real linear functionals.
+- `Weight.IsFinite.normalizedState` : the canonical state obtained from a finite nonzero weight.

+# Symmetry: order-automorphisms and their action on states
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Physically, a symmetry of a system is a *reversible* transformation: a change of description that
+loses no information and can always be undone. In the order-unit picture (`Channel/Basic.lean`) a
+transformation between effect algebras is a channel, a unital positive linear map; a symmetry is
+exactly a channel `φ : E →ₚ₁[ℝ] E` that is invertible with an inverse `φ⁻¹` that is *also* a
+channel. Both directions have to be physical: undoing a symmetry must again be positive and send
+the certain event to the certain event, not just be some linear inverse.
+
+A group `G` acting on `E` "by symmetries" is then a homomorphism `ρ : G →* Symmetry E` into the
+group of such automorphisms. Every symmetry, via `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.comp`, transports a
+state: precomposing a state `ω : E →ₚ₁[ℝ] ℝ` with `φ⁻¹` gives the state that assigns to an
+observable `x` whatever `ω` assigned to the pulled-back observable `φ⁻¹ x`. This needs no new
+proof of positivity or normalization — `ω.comp φ⁻¹` is already a unital positive linear map
+because `.comp` always is; all that is new
+here is checking this assignment is a genuine group action, `(g*h) • ω = g • (h • ω)` and
+`1 • ω = ω`, which reduces to associativity and identity laws for `.comp` already on hand.
+
+This is the state-level pushforward along a channel, specialized to a channel that happens to be
+invertible (`Channel/Basic.lean`'s `Weight.comp` is the same idea one level down, on weights on
+the positive cone; working with the state directly as a `UnitalPositiveLinearMap` avoids the extra
+order-unit hypotheses `Weight.comp` needs and is the cleaner route here).
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `IsOrderAutomorphism φ`: `φ` is a channel with a two-sided inverse that is also a channel.
+- `Symmetry E`: the bundled group of order-automorphisms of `E`, with `Group` instance
+  `mul := comp`.
+- The `MulAction (Symmetry E) (𝓢[ℝ, E])` instance: pushing a state forward along the inverse
+  automorphism.
+- `stateSMul`: the action of a general `G` on `𝓢[ℝ, E]` induced by a homomorphism
+  `ρ : G →* Symmetry E`, together with the group action laws it satisfies.
+- `OneParameterAutomorphismGroup E`: a one-parameter (reversible dynamics) family
+  `α : ℝ → (E →ₚ₁[ℝ] E)` with `α 0 = id` and `α (s + t) = α s ∘ α t`, each `α t` an automorphism.

+# Weights
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A weight is a statistical weight: a number in `[0, ∞]` on each outcome saying how much of it
+there is, with no requirement that the total be finite or normalized to 1 — hence the `∞` and
+the fact that weights are compared, never subtracted. They live on `PosCone E`, the space of
+possible outcomes from `OrderUnit/Basic.lean`.
+
+Being an honest linear map, `Weight E` is automatically an `ℝ≥0`-module in its own right: combining
+two weights with nonnegative coefficients is again a weight, for free, with no boundedness proof to
+give (contrast `Effect`, a bounded slice of `E` that needs `Effect.convex` to stay closed under
+mixing). `Weight.IsState.mix` is the one thing that *does* need proving: that this combination
+preserves normalization when the coefficients sum to `1`.
+
+## ii. Key definitions and results
+
+- `Weight E`
+- `Weight.IsFaithful`, `Weight.IsFinite`, `Weight.IsSemifinite`, `Weight.IsNormal` : the standard
+  refinements.
+- `Weight.IsState` : a finite weight normalized at the order unit — an actual state.
+- `Weight.mix`, `Weight.IsState.mix` : mixing two (state) weights.

+# Extending finite weights
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A finite weight on the positive cone of an order-unit space extends uniquely to a positive linear
+functional on the whole space. Normalized weights therefore give states as a specialization.
+
+The extension shifts and undoes: since `1` is an order unit, any `x : E` becomes nonnegative after
+adding enough copies of `1` (`exists_real_shift_nonneg` gives `r` with `r • 1 + x ≥ 0`), so define
+`toFun x := w (r • 1 + x) - r * w 1` — undo the shift after reading `w` on the cone
+and check it's independent of the `r` chosen.

+
+A measurement is *covariant* under a symmetry when transforming the outcome and transforming the
+assigned effect agree — a rotated detector, pointed at a rotated direction, reads out the same
+statistics a rotation of the original detector would have. This file lays the foundation: a
+measurable action of a group on the outcome space, a symmetry's action on effects (extending
+`Symmetry`'s existing action on states, `OrderUnit/Symmetry.lean`, to the dual side), and the
+covariance predicate on a POVM itself.

+# Covariance for finite-outcome measurements
+
+`Covariance.lean` sets up covariance in full measure-theoretic generality: a measurable action of
+`G` on an outcome space `Ω`, transported to a physical system via a homomorphism into `Symmetry E`.
+For a *finite* outcome type `ι`, this specializes drastically: a group acting on a finite label set
+needs no measurability machinery at all, since every subset of a finite type is automatically
+"measurable" in the relevant sense — a permutation of a finite set permutes it, full stop. This
+file builds the induced symmetry action `G →* Symmetry (ι → ℝ)` on the classical `ι`-outcome system
+(`ClassicalSystem.lean`, `FiniteOutcome.lean`), and uses it to specialize two of `Covariance.lean`'s
+general structural theorems — covariance preserved under composition, and under postprocessing —
+to finite-outcome measurements presented as channels (`Measurement.channelEquiv`).
+
+The induced action is the standard "functions on a `G`-set" representation: `(σ • f) i = f (σ⁻¹ •
+i)`. This is a genuine *left* action — `σ • (τ • f) = (σ * τ) • f` — precisely because of the
+inverse: composing `f ↦ f ∘ (σ⁻¹ • ·)` then `f ↦ f ∘ (τ⁻¹ • ·)` composes the permutations as
+`(στ)⁻¹ = τ⁻¹σ⁻¹` in the matching order (`inducedAction`'s `map_mul'` spells this out) — using `σ`
+without inversion would instead give an *anti*-homomorphism. This matches the standard convention
+for the classical system, `(β_g f)(x) = f(g⁻¹x)`.
+
+Since a finite-outcome measurement `M : (ι → ℝ) →ₚ₁[ℝ] E` is already a channel
+(`FiniteOutcome.lean`), its covariance under this induced action, matched to a target symmetry
+`ρ : G →* Symmetry E`, is *literally* `Covariance.lean`'s general channel notion,
+`M.IsCovariant inducedAction ρ` — no new predicate is needed. The two theorems proved here,
+`postprocess_isCovariant` and `marginal_isCovariant`, both fall out of
+`UnitalPositiveLinearMap.IsCovariant.comp` plus the fact that postprocessing and marginalizing are
+literal channel composition (`Postprocessing.lean`).

+`EffectValuedMeasure Ω E` already *is* a positive-operator-valued measure, once `E` is the
+self-adjoint part of an operator algebra: `POVM` is just the physics-literature name for it, kept
+here for discoverability.
+
+A projection-valued measure is a POVM every one of whose effects is sharp (`Effect.IsSharp`):
+the general (order-unit) notion of a projection. Both endpoints `∅` and the whole space are
+automatically sharp for *every* POVM, since the impossible and certain effects `0` and `1` are
+always sharp (`Effect.isSharp_zero`, `Effect.isSharp_one`) — `IsPVM` only has bite on the
+measurable sets strictly between them.
+
+A genuine operator-algebraic projection-valued measure — every assigned effect an idempotent
+self-adjoint operator — is a `PVM` in this abstract sense (`POVM.isPVM_of_forall_isIdempotentElem`),
+via `IsIdempotentElem.isSharp`: this is the payoff of building the general framework on top of the
+self-adjoint part of a C⋆-algebra (`StarAlgebra/OrderUnit.lean`).

+# Schur's lemma and multiplicity-free covariant channels
+
+There is a recurring pattern in representation theory: once a `G`-invariant object (a
+representation space, an operator space, a channel's domain) is decomposed into blocks
+$E = \bigoplus_i W_i$ that are individually `G`-invariant and "Schur" (no non-scalar `G`-equivariant
+self-map), *every* `G`-equivariant endomorphism of the whole space is pinned down block-by-block to
+a single real scalar per block — instead of classifying arbitrary linear maps on a
+high-dimensional space, one classifies a handful of numbers. For the qubit, this is exactly why
+a rotationally covariant channel on the Hermitian $2\times2$ matrices reduces from "an arbitrary
+linear self-map of a four-real-dimensional space" to "one real number $\lambda$": the space splits
+as the scalar sector (spin $0$) plus the Pauli-vector sector (spin $1$), each Schur.
+
+This file formalizes the reusable core of that argument, deliberately *not* mathlib's
+representation-theoretic Schur's lemma (see the note below on why): a bare `Prop`-valued Schur
+hypothesis on a submodule, and the classification theorem for a finite direct sum of Schur blocks.
+
+## Why not mathlib's `Representation`/`FDRep` Schur's lemma
+
+`Mathlib.RepresentationTheory.Irreducible` has
+`Representation.IsIrreducible.algebraMap_intertwiningMap_bijective_of_isAlgClosed`, the sharpest
+form of Schur's lemma mathlib has (the endomorphism ring of an irreducible representation is
+exactly the base field), and `Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Preadditive.Schur` /
+`Mathlib.RepresentationTheory.FDRep` have the abstract Krull–Schmidt-flavoured Hom-space version.
+Both require the base field to be algebraically closed (`IsAlgClosed k`) — true for `ℂ`, false for
+`ℝ`. Over `ℝ` this hypothesis genuinely fails in general (a real irreducible representation can
+have endomorphism ring `ℝ`, `ℂ`, or the quaternions `ℍ`, e.g. the standard real representation of
+the circle group on `ℝ²` is irreducible with endomorphism ring `ℂ`, not `ℝ` — rotation-by-90° is a
+non-scalar equivariant endomorphism). The qubit's Pauli-vector sector genuinely is a "real type"
+representation (endomorphism ring `ℝ`), but this is *extra* representation-theoretic input beyond
+generic Schur, not something `IsAlgClosed`-Schur gives for free over `ℝ`. Moreover this codebase's
+`E`/`Symmetry E` (`OrderUnit/Symmetry.lean`) is a bare order-unit module with a group of
+order-automorphisms, not mathlib's `Representation k G V` structure (a genuine `k[G]`-module) —
+bridging the two would cost more than it buys. So the Schur hypothesis below is taken as an
+explicit, minimal `Prop` on a `Submodule`, to be discharged per-block by whatever means are
+available (cited from elsewhere or proved directly), rather than derived from a general
+representation-theoretic classification result.
+
+## Main definitions
+
+- `IsSchurBlock smul W` : the Schur hypothesis for a submodule `W`, relative to an action
+  `smul : G → E → E` — every linear self-map of `E` that is equivariant on `W` and preserves `W`
+  acts as a single scalar on all of `W`.
+
+## Main results
+
+- `exists_scalar_of_isSchurBlock` : the multiplicity-free classification theorem — given a finite
+  family of Schur blocks decomposing `E` as an internal direct sum, each individually `G`-invariant,
+  every `G`-equivariant linear endomorphism of `E` that preserves every block acts on each block `W
+  i` as `c i • id` for some real scalar `c i`.
+- `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.IsCovariant.exists_scalar_of_isSchurBlock` : the same theorem phrased for

+# Jordan algebra structure on self-adjoint elements
+
+Quantum observables live in `selfAdjoint A` for `A` the (typically non-commutative) algebra of
+bounded operators, but the raw associative product `a * b` of two self-adjoint elements is
+generally not self-adjoint itself — `star (a * b) = b * a`, which equals `a * b` only when `a`
+and `b` commute. What survives is the *symmetrized* product
+$$ a \circ b := \tfrac12(a * b + b * a), $$
+the normalized anticommutator. It is self-adjoint for any self-adjoint `a`, `b` (commuting or
+not), it is
+manifestly commutative, and — the substantive fact — it satisfies the Jordan identity, the weak
+associativity law that lets one recover much of the algebraic structure of quantum mechanics
+(spectral theory, order, the observable ladder in `OVERVIEW.md`) without ever multiplying two
+non-commuting observables together. This is the historically earlier (Jordan–von Neumann–Wigner,
+1934) route to the same territory that full associative multiplication reaches, and the more
+minimal one: it only ever uses the symmetric product.
+
+Mathlib already has the abstract axioms for this in `Mathlib.Algebra.Jordan.Basic`
+(`IsJordan`/`IsCommJordan`, stated for a bare `Mul` satisfying the Jordan axioms). We install the
+standard normalized product directly on `selfAdjoint A`; the real-module hypotheses provide the
+factor `1/2`. Consequently every stronger realization, including a C⋆-algebra, inherits one and
+the same Jordan multiplication instead of rebuilding a second product in a bridge file.
+
+We do not give `selfAdjoint A` a plain top-level `Mul` instance for this product: when `A` is
+commutative, mathlib already equips `selfAdjoint A` with the ordinary product. Instead the full
+nonassociative-ring and Jordan structure below is scoped to `selfAdjoint`: `open scoped
+selfAdjoint` opts in exactly where the Jordan product is wanted.

+# Lie structure on observables
+
+Dually to the normalized Jordan product `a ∘ b := ½(a * b + b * a)` of
+`StarAlgebra/Jordan.lean`, which
+symmetrizes the associative product of two self-adjoint elements, the *antisymmetric* part of the
+same product is self-adjoint once corrected by a factor of `i`:
+$$ \mathrm{star}(ab - ba) = b a - a b = -(ab - ba), $$
+so `ab - ba` is *skew*-adjoint, and multiplying a skew-adjoint element by `i` (or any purely
+imaginary scalar) makes it self-adjoint. This gives the observable Lie bracket
+$$ ⁅a, b⁆ := -(i / 2) (ab - ba), $$
+the (negative, half of the) imaginary part of `a * b`. Together, the Jordan product and the Lie
+bracket are the symmetric and antisymmetric halves of the raw associative product:
+`a * b = (a ∘ b) + i ⁅a, b⁆`, as recorded by `mul_decomposition` below. The bracket measures
+noncommutativity of the two
+observables and, as a real Lie algebra, governs infinitesimal unitary dynamics (Heisenberg's
+equation of motion is literally `dȧ/dt = ⁅H, a⁆` for a suitably normalized Hamiltonian `H`).
+
+## Why these hypotheses (and no more)
+
+Unlike the Jordan product, the bracket cannot be stated over a bare `[Ring A] [StarRing A]`: it
+genuinely needs to *scale* by the complex number `-i/2`, so `A` must at least carry a compatible
+action of `ℂ` respecting the star operation, i.e. `[Module ℂ A] [StarModule ℂ A]`. This is far
+below the old `OperatorAlgebra A` bundle (a complete, ordered, C⋆-normed algebra): no norm,
+completeness, or order enters anywhere in this file. Only `leibniz_bracket` (and the `LieRing`
+instance packaging it) and `bracket_smul` (and the `LieAlgebra` instance packaging it) need scalar
+multiplication by `ℂ` to interact with the ring product of `A` itself — moving the constant scalar
+`-i/2` across a product `a * (c • b) = c • (a * b) = (c • a) * b` — which is exactly the content of
+`[SMulCommClass ℂ A A] [IsScalarTower ℂ A A]`. Every other lemma, including the definition of the
+bracket itself, needs nothing beyond `[Module ℂ A] [StarModule ℂ A]`, so those two extra instances
+are added only on the declarations that use them rather than on the whole file (mirroring this
+codebase's `omit [...] in` idiom for the reverse situation, where a lemma needs *less* than the
+ambient section: see `isSelfAdjoint_mul_iff_commute` below, which needs no `ℂ`-module structure at
+all).
+
+As in `StarAlgebra/Jordan.lean`, the product-like structure (`Bracket`, `LieRing`, `LieAlgebra`) is
+kept `scoped` to the `selfAdjoint` namespace rather than made a global instance, in case mathlib or
+downstream code ever registers a competing Lie bracket on `selfAdjoint A` (e.g. via the ordinary
+commutator when `A` itself is already a Lie ring). `open scoped selfAdjoint` opts in.
+

+# Observables
+
+An observable is a self-adjoint element of a space with an additive involution.
+This definition needs neither multiplication nor a norm. In particular, the
+self-adjoint part of a complex operator algebra is already an observable space
+before any C⋆-algebraic structure is used.
+
+A complex state on a starred space restricts to a real state on its observables.
+Thus the expectation-value functional is itself an instance of the general
+state notion `𝓢[ℝ, Observable A]`; it does not require a separate definition of
+linearity, positivity, or normalization.
+
+## The abstract order-unit case
+
+When `E` already is a real ordered vector space (rather than the self-adjoint part of a complex
+one), no restriction is needed at all: `Observable E ⊆ E` directly, and a state `s : 𝓢[ℝ, E]` is
+already linear and positive on all of `E`, so it pairs with an observable `a : Observable E` by
+simply evaluating `s (a : E)`. Linearity (`map_add`, `map_smul`), positivity of a positive
+observable's expectation (`map_nonneg`), and the expectation of the unit observable (`map_one`)
+are consequently not new facts about states meeting observables — they are the same generic
+`UnitalPositiveLinearMap` lemmas already used everywhere else, applied at `a : E`. The examples
+below witness this; no bespoke `expectation` definition is needed.

+# State statistics
+
+A state assigns real expectation values to observables (`UnitalPositiveLinearMap.expectation`,
+notation `ω⟨a⟩`, built directly from `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.onObservables`). Centering an
+observable around its mean produces `covariance` and `variance`, the quantities the uncertainty
+relations in `CStarAlgebra.Uncertainty` are stated in terms of.
+
+None of this needs a C⋆-norm or completeness: a state `ω : 𝓢[A]` already restricts to a real
+state on `Observable A`, and positivity of `variance` is already positivity of a state applied to
+`star x * x` for `x` self-adjoint. Consequently almost everything here is stated for a bare star
+ring with a compatible order (`Ring`, `StarRing`, `PartialOrder`, plus `SelfAdjointDecompose`,
+`Module ℂ`, `StarModule ℂ` for `𝓢[A]`/`onObservables` themselves to make sense) — exactly the
+level `UnitalPositiveLinearMap.onObservables` needs. `StarOrderedRing` is added locally, only on
+`variance_nonneg`, for the one positivity fact (`star_mul_self_nonneg`) that actually needs it;
+symmetry of `covariance` needs no order at all, just `apply_mul_comm_eq_star`.

+# Traciality
+
+Traciality is a property of a weight on the positive cone (`Weight.IsTracial`), and independently
+a property of a state (`UnitalPositiveLinearMap.IsTracial`) — the standard notion of a tracial
+state, stated directly on `𝓢[ℝ, A]` rather than defined as a weight that happens to also be a
+state. `Weight.IsState.isTracial` is the theorem connecting the two: a finite tracial weight's
+extension to a state is itself a tracial state.

+# W⋆-algebras: predual and the weak-⋆ topology
+
+A W⋆-algebra is a C⋆-algebra that is additionally, isometrically, the Banach-space dual of some
+other Banach space — Sakai's characterization of a von Neumann algebra, purely in Banach-space
+terms. There is no need for any Hilbert-space representation, or even for `A` to be an algebra of
+operators at all.
+
+Mathlib already has this notion, `WStarAlgebra` (`Mathlib.Analysis.VonNeumannAlgebra.Basic`), but
+only asserts the *mere existence* of a predual (a `Prop`), by design — Mathlib's own docstring
+flags picking one as a possible source of definitional-unification trouble down the line. That is
+exactly the trouble this file needs to avoid: the weak-⋆ topology genuinely depends on *which*
+predual is chosen (Sakai's theorem says any two are isometrically isomorphic, but not canonically
+so), so a mere existence statement isn't enough to even state `weakStarTopology`, let alone work
+with it. `WStarAlgebraStructure` is therefore data — a `class` packaging one chosen predual and
+identification — built directly on `Basic/CStarAlgebra/`'s bare-hypothesis convention
+(`[CStarAlgebra A] [PartialOrder A] [StarOrderedRing A]`) rather than on a reinvented wrapper
+class. It is a different name for a related but genuinely different (data vs. `Prop`) notion than
+Mathlib's `WStarAlgebra`, not a competing definition of the same one; connecting the two — every
+`WStarAlgebraStructure A` gives a proof of `WStarAlgebra A` — needs converting our `≃ₗᵢ[ℂ]`
+(linear) identification to Mathlib's `≃ₗᵢ⋆[ℂ]` (conjugate-linear) one, genuine linear-algebra work
+not attempted here.
+
+Mathlib's own weak-⋆ topology machinery for the dual of a normed space
+(`Mathlib.Analysis.Normed.Module.WeakDual`, `WeakDual`/`StrongDual`) does essentially all of the
+topological work once the predual identification is in hand — genuinely no new topology needed,
+only the identification and its transport back along it.
+
+## Definitions
+
+- `WStarAlgebraStructure A` : `A` together with a chosen predual `Predual A` and an isometric
+  linear identification `toDual : A ≃ₗᵢ[ℂ] StrongDual ℂ (Predual A)`.
+- `WStarAlgebraStructure.weakStarTopology A` : the weak-⋆ topology on `A`, pulled back through
+  `toDual` from `WeakDual ℂ (Predual A)`. Deliberately *not* a `TopologicalSpace A` instance — `A`
+  already has its norm topology (from `CStarAlgebra`), and the entire point here is to compare the
+  two, so they must coexist rather than compete for instance resolution.
+- `WStarAlgebraStructure.norm_le_weakStarTopology` : the weak-⋆ topology is coarser than the norm
+  topology — proved outright from Mathlib's `toDual`-is-an-isometry and
+  `StrongDual.toWeakDual`-is-continuous facts, no new hard analysis needed.
+- `NormalState A` : a state (`𝓢[A]`, `Basic/OrderUnit/State/Basic.lean`) continuous for
+  `weakStarTopology` — the honest, Sakai-style definition of "normal state".
+  `NormalState.continuous` recovers norm-continuity as a corollary, for free, from
+  `norm_le_weakStarTopology`.
+
+## Concrete realization
+
+The genuinely concrete instance — `A := B(H)` with predual the trace-class operators `𝒮₁(H)` and
+`toDual` the trace pairing `a ↦ (ρ ↦ Tr(aρ))` — needs a `TraceClass H` Banach space this repo does
+not yet have. This file stays at the abstract weak-⋆ and normal-state layer.

+/-- **A W⋆-algebra, as data**: a C⋆-algebra `A` together with one chosen identification with the
+Banach-space dual of some other Banach space `Predual A` — Sakai's characterization of a von
+Neumann algebra. See the module docstring for why this is a `class` carrying a chosen predual
+rather than a `Prop` asserting one exists (Mathlib's `WStarAlgebra`), and for the name choice. -/

+notion of "converges weakly" for states/observables on `A` — e.g. it is exactly the topology in
+which a sequence of density operators `ρₙ → ρ` weak-⋆ iff `Tr(ρₙ A) → Tr(ρA)` for every bounded

+continuity facts already in Mathlib — `toDual` is a (linear) isometry, hence norm-continuous
+(`LinearIsometryEquiv.continuous`), and `StrongDual.toWeakDual` is continuous
+(`NormedSpace.Dual.toWeakDual_continuous`) — composing gives continuity of `weakStarTopology`'s
+defining map for the *norm* topology on the domain, which is exactly what "coarser" means via
+`continuous_iff_le_induced`. No genuinely new analysis: this is Mathlib's own comparison theorem

+# The Norton dome
+
+## i. Overview
+
+The Norton dome is a point mass `m` sliding without friction, under gravity `g`, on a
+rotationally symmetric dome whose surface lies a depth `h(r) = (2/(3g)) r^{3/2}` below its
+apex at arc length `r`. Its force is continuous, yet a mass at rest on the apex may stay there
+forever or start sliding down at any later instant: the equation of motion has more than one
+solution with given initial data. It is the standard example of the failure of determinism in
+Newtonian mechanics and, mathematically, of the failure of uniqueness for an ODE whose
+right-hand side is continuous but not Lipschitz.
+
+Newton's laws, as stated, do not determine the motion. A Newtonian system that is to be
+deterministic must add something the laws do not state, a regularity condition on the force or
+a restriction on the admissible motions; which addition belongs to Newtonian mechanics is
+debated, and the folder does not decide it. It proves what each candidate condition buys and
+that the dome fails each. Reading order:
+
+- `NortonDome.Basic` (this file): the dome, its energies, force, equation of motion `r̈ = √r`,
+  and the failure of the Lipschitz condition at the apex.
+- `NortonDome.Solution`: rest at the apex and departure at any instant `T` are all solutions
+  from the same initial data, `exists_isSolution_ne`.
+- `NortonDome.PhysicalSpace`: the arc-length chart as a point mass constrained to the surface.
+- `NortonDome.NewtonianSystem`: the minimal `NewtonianSystem`; determinism, the first law and
+  the regularity conditions as predicates; a locally Lipschitz force gives determinism.
+- `NortonDome.Determinism`: the dome is not deterministic, violates the first law, and fails
+  each regularity condition.
+- `NortonDome.PeanoExistence`, `NortonDome.PosPartPow`, `NortonDome.Sqrt`: supporting
+  analysis. Peano's theorem is pending in Mathlib and marked `@[sorryful]`; all else is proved.
+
+The configuration is the arc length `r`, carried as for the pendulum on the Euclidean lift
+`Time → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 1)`. The physical dome is `r ≥ 0`; the chart is all of `ℝ`, and
+for `r < 0` the truncated square root makes the force vanish. With `T = ½ m ṙ²` and
+`V = -m g h(r) = -(2m/3) r^{3/2}` the equation of motion is `m r̈ = -dV/dr = m √r`, so
+`r̈ = √r`: `m` and `g` cancel. Norton's profile presumes units in which the constant fixing the
+size of the dome is `1`.
+
+The force `√r` is continuous but not Lipschitz at the apex, and the potential is `C¹` but not
+`C²` there; see `NortonDome.Determinism`. So the Picard–Lindelöf hypothesis, which the pendulum
+satisfies, fails for the dome. For the same reason the Euler–Lagrange theorem
+`euler_lagrange_varGradient`, which needs a smooth Lagrangian, does not apply, and the equation
+of motion is identified only with the vanishing of the pointwise Euler–Lagrange operator.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `NortonDome` holds the input data, the mass `m` and the gravitational acceleration `g`.
+- `NortonDome.height` is the depth `(2/(3g)) r^{3/2}` of the dome below its apex, with its
+  derivative `hasDerivAt_height` and `C¹` regularity `height_contDiff_one`.
+- `NortonDome.kineticEnergy`, `NortonDome.potentialEnergy` and `NortonDome.energy` are the
+  energies, with the gradient `gradient_potentialEnergy` of the potential and the time
+  derivatives `kineticEnergy_deriv`, `potentialEnergy_deriv` and `energy_deriv` along twice
+  differentiable curves.
+- `NortonDome.lagrangian` is the Lagrangian `T - V`, with its partial gradients
+  `gradient_lagrangian_position_eq` and `gradient_lagrangian_velocity_eq`.
+- `NortonDome.force` is the generalized force `m √r` conjugate to the arc length. It is
+  continuous, `force_continuous`, but not Lipschitz on any closed ball about the apex,
+  `not_lipschitzOnWith_force`.
+- `NortonDome.EquationOfMotion` is the equation of motion `m r̈ = F(r)`, with its scalar form
+  `equationOfMotion_iff_scalar`; `NortonDome.IsSolution` is a twice differentiable solution.
+- `NortonDome.equationOfMotion_iff_eulerLagrangeOp_zero` identifies the equation of motion,
+  for curves with differentiable velocity, with the vanishing of the Euler–Lagrange operator.
+- `NortonDome.IsSolution.energy_eq` is the conservation of energy along a solution.

+# The Norton dome and the determinism of Newtonian mechanics
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A particle at rest on the apex of the Norton dome may stay there forever or slide off at any
+instant, in obedience to Newton's second law with a continuous force. This file states what
+that does and does not show, in the terms of `NortonDome.NewtonianSystem`.
+
+The dome is such a system (`toNewtonianSystem`). It is not deterministic
+(`not_isDeterministic`) and it violates the first law (`not_satisfiesFirstLaw`). Since a locally
+Lipschitz force gives determinism, the dome must fail that hypothesis and everything implying
+it, and it does (`not_hasLocallyLipschitzForce`, `not_hasLipschitzForce`, `not_hasC2Potential`).
+Its force `m √r` is continuous but has infinite slope at the apex, and its potential is `C¹`
+but not `C²`.
+
+Put together, this is `exists_continuous_force_not_isDeterministic`: a continuous force does
+not make a Newtonian system deterministic, while a locally Lipschitz force, or a `C²`
+potential, does. Newton's laws do not say which requirement, if any, belongs in the definition
+of a Newtonian system. The theorems say what each requirement buys and that the dome is what
+each excludes, and leave the choice open. Malament's proposal, a regularity condition on the
+constraint surface in physical space rather than on the potential, is not formulated here. With
+Peano's theorem, whose proof is pending in Mathlib, the dome has solutions from every initial
+datum (`hasLocalSolutions`), so its failure is one of uniqueness alone.
+
+## ii. Key results

+  system with a continuous force that is not deterministic.
+- `NortonDome.not_hasLocallyLipschitzForce`, `NortonDome.not_hasLipschitzForce` and

+# Conservative Newtonian systems and determinism
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A conservative Newtonian system is a point mass `m` in a configuration space `X` under a
+potential `V`, with equation of motion `m r̈ = -∇V(r)`. Physics takes for granted that position
+and velocity at one instant fix the motion at all instants. This file makes that a theorem and
+states what it costs.
+
+The main result is `NewtonianSystem.isDeterministic_of_hasLocallyLipschitzForce`: if the force
+is locally Lipschitz, two solutions with the same position and velocity at one instant coincide
+at every instant; in the form usually quoted,
+`NewtonianSystem.isDeterministic_of_hasC2Potential`, a `C²` potential suffices. Continuity of
+the force is not enough: the Norton dome has a continuous force and a `C¹` potential, and a
+particle at rest on its apex may stay or leave at any time (see `NortonDome.Determinism`).
+
+The `NewtonianSystem` defined here asks only for a differentiable potential, the least under
+which the equation of motion makes sense. Newton's laws, as stated, are silent on how regular
+the force must be, and the dome shows that without some regularity the equation does not
+determine the motion. A definition that is to be deterministic must add something the laws do
+not state, a regularity condition on the force or a restriction on the admissible motions;
+whether that is part of the theory or a choice about it is debated. Each candidate condition is
+a separate predicate, so that what it buys is a theorem, and the file takes no side. The
+predicates are:
+
+- `IsDeterministic`: position and velocity at one instant fix the solution.
+- `SatisfiesFirstLaw`: a body at rest where the force vanishes stays at rest. It follows from
+  determinism and is the form of the first law the dome violates. The interval reading follows
+  from the second law for every system (`IsSolution.deriv_eq_of_force_eq_zero_on`, section B.3).
+- `HasLocallyLipschitzForce`: the hypothesis of the ODE uniqueness theorem. `HasLipschitzForce`
+  and `HasC2Potential` are the stronger conditions usually assumed; each implies it and neither
+  implies the other.
+- `HasLocalSolutions`: existence, kept separate. For a continuous force on a finite-dimensional
+  configuration space it follows from Peano's theorem, whose proof is pending in Mathlib;
+  section E derives it from the statement in `NortonDome.PeanoExistence`, marked `@[sorryful]`.
+
+The proof of determinism turns the equation of motion into the first-order system
+`(r, v)' = (v, F(r)/m)` on `X × X`, applies Mathlib's local uniqueness theorem for integral
+curves, and extends to all time by connectedness of the real line. So continuity buys
+existence and local Lipschitz continuity buys uniqueness; the file records what each condition
+does, not which one is right.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `NewtonianSystem.isDeterministic_of_hasLocallyLipschitzForce`: a locally Lipschitz force
+  gives determinism, hence `NewtonianSystem.satisfiesFirstLaw_of_hasLocallyLipschitzForce`
+  the first law. `NewtonianSystem.isDeterministic_of_hasC2Potential` and

+The potential is asked to be differentiable and no more, so that the force `-∇V` exists and the
+equation of motion can be written pointwise; further regularity is added in section C. Physlib's
+general notion is `ClassicalMechanics.PointParticle.NewtonianSystem`, finitely many particles
+with explicit forces in a reference frame. The structure here is a single mass in a potential,
+which is all the dome needs; the two live in different namespaces and no file opens both.

+## B. Determinism and the first law
+
+-/
+
+/-!
+
+### B.1. The properties
+
+Determinism is the statement that position and velocity at one instant fix the motion at all
+instants. The first law, in the reading that says more than the second law, is the statement
+that a body at rest where no force acts stays at rest; section B.3 compares the readings. Both
+are properties of the system, not of a motion.
+
+The definition of determinism is the naive one. Laplace's formulation is about knowledge; the
+notion used since Montague and Earman is about models, a theory being deterministic if any two
+models agreeing at one instant agree at every instant. `IsDeterministic` is that notion, with
+the models taken to be the twice differentiable solutions of one system, defined for all time,
+and the state taken to be position and velocity. Four things follow.
+
+- It is a property of one system. That Newtonian mechanics is deterministic is a claim about
+  every system in some class, and which class is what this folder is about.
+- It is uniqueness only. A system with no solution from some initial datum, or with solutions
+  not defined for all time, counts as deterministic here, whereas on Earman's account such
+  failures of existence count against determinism. Existence is kept separate, as
+  `HasLocalSolutions`.
+- It is relative to the class of solutions. Demanding smooth or analytic solutions would
+  exclude the departing motions of the dome, which vanish on a half-line and are not `C⁴`, and
+  so restore uniqueness by fiat.
+- It does not distinguish future from past. The time-reversed motions of the dome arrive at
+  rest on the apex and stay, so the state there fixes neither past nor future; Earman's
+  futuristic and historical determinism both fail.
+
+-/
+
+/-- A Newtonian system is deterministic if any two solutions with the same position and
+  velocity at some instant coincide. This is uniqueness of twice differentiable solutions
+  defined for all time, in both directions of time and without existence; see section B.1. -/
+def IsDeterministic : Prop :=
+  ∀ x y : Time → X, S.IsSolution x → S.IsSolution y →
+    ∀ t₀, x t₀ = y t₀ → ∂ₜ x t₀ = ∂ₜ y t₀ → x = y
+
+/-- A Newtonian system satisfies the first law if a solution at rest, at some instant, at a
+  point where the force vanishes stays at that point at all instants. -/
+def SatisfiesFirstLaw : Prop :=
+  ∀ r : Time → X, S.IsSolution r → ∀ t₀, S.force (r t₀) = 0 → ∂ₜ r t₀ = 0 → ∀ t, r t = r t₀
+
+/-!
+
+### B.2. Determinism implies the first law
+
+The curve staying at the equilibrium is a solution with the same position and velocity as the
+given one at the given instant, so by determinism it is the given one.
+
+-/
+
+/-- A deterministic Newtonian system satisfies the first law. -/

+/-!
+
+### B.3. The interval reading of the first law
+
+The first law can be read instantaneously (no force at an instant, no acceleration then), with
+an interval in the hypothesis (no force on an interval, constant velocity on it), or with an
+interval in the conclusion (at rest at an instant where no force acts, at rest forever). The
+first two follow from the second law for every system, the second being the lemma below, and
+both hold for the dome. The third, `SatisfiesFirstLaw`, is determinism at an equilibrium; it is
+what the dome violates and what Norton's argument is about, so it is the reading taken here.
+
+-/
+
+/-- The first law read on an interval: if the force vanishes along a solution throughout the
+  interval `[a, b]`, the velocity is constant on it. This is a consequence of the second law
+  alone, and holds for every system. -/

+## C. Regularity conditions
+
+The hypothesis of the ODE uniqueness theorem is a locally Lipschitz force,
+`HasLocallyLipschitzForce`. The two stronger conditions usually stated are a globally Lipschitz
+force, `HasLipschitzForce`, and a `C²` potential, `HasC2Potential`, whose force is `C¹`.
+Neither implies the other: for example, `x ^ 4` has a `C¹` force of unbounded slope, and
+`x * |x| / 2` has the Lipschitz force `-|x|` but is not `C²`. The structure `NewtonianSystem`
+of section A assumes none of these conditions; they are separate predicates on it.

+## D. A locally Lipschitz force gives determinism
+
+The equation of motion becomes the first-order system `(r, v)' = (v, F(r)/m)` on `X × X`. If

+Local uniqueness makes the set of instants at which two integral curves through a common point

+# Peano's existence theorem (statements)
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Peano's existence theorem: the initial value problem `x' = f (t, x)`, `x t₀ = x₀` has a
+solution on a closed time interval whenever `f` is continuous on the product of that interval
+with a closed ball about `x₀` and the interval is short enough for the solution to stay in the
+ball. No Lipschitz condition is asked, and only existence is guaranteed.
+
+The theorem is not yet in Mathlib. This file records the hypotheses and the two forms of the
+conclusion as stated in the Mathlib pull request
+[#42148](https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4/pull/42148), by Julian Rolfes,
+Luke Schleef, Philipp Svinger, Paul Niessner and Florian Grube, with the proofs replaced by
+`sorry` and the results marked `@[sorryful]`. Names and namespace are those of the pull
+request, so that once it is merged this file can be deleted and its uses redirected to
+Mathlib's `IsPeano` by a change of imports. `NortonDome.NewtonianSystem` uses the theorem to
+show that a Newtonian system with a continuous force has local solutions.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `IsPeano` collects the hypotheses: the initial time lies in the interval, the vector field is
+  continuous on the cylinder, bounded by `L` there, and `L` times the length of the interval on
+  either side of `t₀` is at most the radius `r` of the ball.
+- `IsPeano.exists_eq_forall_mem_Icc_eq_integral` is the theorem in integral form.

+# The Norton dome in physical space
+
+## i. Overview
+
+`NortonDome.Basic` writes the dynamics on the arc length `r`, with kinetic energy `½ m ṙ²` and
+potential energy `-m g h(r)`. This module identifies that chart dynamics with a point mass
+constrained to the surface of the dome, as `SimplePendulum.Geometric.PhysicalSpace` does for
+the pendulum.
+
+The motion is radial, so it suffices to work in the vertical plane through the apex, with the
+apex at the origin and the vertical coordinate measured upwards. The profile is the arc-length
+parametrised curve `s ↦ (x(s), -h(s))`, where `x'(s)² + h'(s)² = 1` and `h'(s) = √s / g` give
+`x'(s) = √(1 - s/g²)` and `x(s) = (2g²/3) (1 - (1 - s/g²)^{3/2})`. The profile exists for
+`0 ≤ s ≤ g²`; at `s = g²` it is vertical and Norton's model stops. While the arc length is in
+that range the chart kinetic energy is `½ m ‖v‖²` by unit speed, and the chart potential energy
+is the gravitational potential `m g y` at height `y`, so the chart Lagrangian is the
+constrained Lagrangian.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `NortonDome.horizontal` is the horizontal distance `x(s)` of the profile from the apex, with
+  its derivative `hasDerivAt_horizontal`; `NortonDome.unit_speed` is the identity
+  `x'(s)² + h'(s)² = 1`.
+- `NortonDome.profile` is the profile curve `s ↦ (x(s), -h(s))` in the vertical plane, and
+  `NortonDome.dome` its image on `0 ≤ s ≤ g²`.
+- `NortonDome.spaceTrajectory` is the position of the particle in the plane along a chart
+  trajectory; it lies on the dome, `spaceTrajectory_mem_dome`, while the arc length is in range.
+- `NortonDome.deriv_spaceTrajectory` is the velocity of the particle in the plane, with the
+  square of its speed `norm_sq_deriv_spaceTrajectory`.
+- `NortonDome.kineticEnergy_eq_space`, `NortonDome.potentialEnergy_eq_height`,
+  `NortonDome.lagrangian_eq_space` and `NortonDome.energy_eq_space` identify the chart
+  energies and Lagrangian with those of the point mass in physical space.

+# The motions of the Norton dome and the failure of uniqueness
+
+## i. Overview
+
+A particle at rest on the apex of the Norton dome satisfies `r̈ = √r` by staying there forever,
+and also by staying until an arbitrary instant `T ≥ 0` and then sliding off along
+`r(t) = (t - T)⁴ / 144`: that curve is `C²`, vanishes with its derivative at `T`, and its
+second derivative `(t - T)² / 12` is `√r`. All these motions have the same initial position and
+velocity, so the initial data do not determine the motion. This is Norton's observation.
+
+For contrast, the pendulum's phase-space vector field is Lipschitz and Mathlib's
+`ODE_solution_unique_univ` gives `SimplePendulum.equationOfMotion_unique`; the force of the
+dome is not Lipschitz at the apex, `NortonDome.not_lipschitzOnWith_force`. Energy conservation
+does not help either, since every motion in the family has zero energy (`energy_solution`).
+Read backwards in time, in section E, a particle sliding up the dome may arrive at the apex at
+rest in finite time and stay there.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `NortonDome.delayedQuartic` is the real function `τ ↦ max (τ - T) 0 ⁴ / 144`, with its
+  derivatives `hasDerivAt_delayedQuartic` and `hasDerivAt_deriv_delayedQuartic`, its `C²`
+  regularity `contDiff_delayedQuartic`, and the identity `sqrt_delayedQuartic`.
+- `NortonDome.solution T` is the motion leaving the apex at the instant `T`. It is a solution,
+  `solution_isSolution`, starts from rest at the apex when `0 ≤ T`, `solution_zero` and
+  `deriv_solution_zero`, and is injective in `T`, `solution_injective`.
+- `NortonDome.rest_isSolution` is the motion staying at the apex.
+- `NortonDome.exists_isSolution_ne` is the failure of uniqueness: two distinct solutions with
+  the same initial position and velocity; `NortonDome.not_isSolution_unique` restates it as
+  the negation of the uniqueness property of the pendulum. All these motions have zero energy,
+  `NortonDome.energy_rest` and `NortonDome.energy_solution`.
+- `NortonDome.IsSolution.comp_neg` is the time-reversal symmetry of the dome, and
+  `NortonDome.arrival T` the time-reversed motion, off the apex before the instant `-T`,
+  `arrival_apply_pos`, and at rest on it from then on, `arrival_of_le`.

+## E. Time reversal and arrival at the apex

+# Calculus of the real square root near zero
+
+## i. Overview
+
+Two facts about the real square root at zero, where Mathlib's calculus does not reach: the
+cube `√y ^ 3` is differentiable everywhere, with derivative `(3/2) √x`, and `√` is not
+Lipschitz on any interval `[0, ε]`. The first gives the derivative of the potential of the
+Norton dome, the second the failure of the Picard–Lindelöf hypothesis for its force.
+
+## ii. Key results
+
+- `hasDerivAt_sqrt_pow_three` is the derivative of `√y ^ 3` at every real number.
+- `not_lipschitzOnWith_sqrt` is the failure of the Lipschitz property of `√` on `[0, ε]`.
+
+## iii. Table of contents
+
+- A. The derivative of the cube of the square root
+- B. The square root is not Lipschitz at zero

+## Claiming a PR for review
+
+To keep track of PRs, reviewers can "claim" PRs and promise to review them within a certain timeframe. Failing to submit a review in that time will trigger a workflow which removes them and a Zulip bot notifies the community.
+
+1. **Claim it.** Comment `claim` on the PR. The bot requests a review from you, assigns
+   you, applies the `review-claimed` label and leaves a status comment recording the
+   deadline. For a custom window, comment `claim 5 days` (hours, days and weeks all work)
+   or `claim 2026-08-01`; `claim` uses the default of 2 days.
+2. **You are reminded.** The bot @-mentions you 48 hours and then 24 hours before the
+   deadline.
+3. **It expires.** Claims carry a time to live (2 days by default, 14 days max) and are
+   released automatically if they go stale, so nothing stays blocked forever. Comment
+   `claim` again to extend, or `disclaim` to release early. Submitting a review completes
+   the claim and clears the label.
+4. **A missed claim is announced.** If the deadline passes with no review, you are removed
+   as reviewer and assignee, and a message goes to the `PR reviews` topic on Zulip.

+# Setting up the Physlib build cache bucket
+
+Physlib publishes its compiled artifacts so contributors do not have to build
+the library from source. This uses Lean's `lake cache`, which is used within get_cache.lean
+to fetch the artifacts from a Cloudfare R2 bucket. R2 is the best choice for a small amount of
+storage, with lots of people downloading it.
+
+## 1. Create the bucket
+
+Call it `physlib-cache`. Add its S3 API endpoint into `lake-cache.toml` as the write path.
+
+## 2. Allow anonymous reads — done
+
+Contributors fetch without credentials, so the bucket needs a public URL. You can use the public
+development URL for testing, but it is better to deploy with a custom domain. We set up
+`lake-cache.physlib.io` for this purpose.
+
+Note the resulting hostname; it goes into `lake-cache.toml` at step 5.
+
+Only reads become public. Writes stay behind the key from step 3.
+
+## 3. Create an API token for CI
+
+Create a token with write access, limited to
+`physlib-cache`. Keep the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
+
+Lake expects them as a single SigV4 credential, colon-separated:
+
+```
+<ACCESS_KEY_ID>:<SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
+```
+
+## 4. Add the GitHub secret
+
+Add the keys as a GitHub secret called `LAKE_CACHE_KEY`, set to the colon-joined pair above.
+
+## 5. Fill in the read endpoint — done
+
+Both endpoints in `lake-cache.toml` are set. To move to a custom domain, edit
+the `physlib-r2` service — hostname only, no scheme, no trailing slash. `physlib-r2` is the name
+of the anonymous read service in cloudflare.
+
+## 6. Verify
+
+Test these commands work within the Physlib repo:
+
+```bash
+lake exe get_cache
+lake build
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Costs to watch as the project grows: storage past 10GB, and Class A
+  (write) operations. Egress, the usual scaling problem, is free on R2.
+- Each half publishes under its own scope, `physlib-master/<toolchain>/physlib`
+  and `.../alpha`, so the two CI jobs do not overwrite each other's mappings.
+  The workflow and `scripts/get_cache.lean` must build the same strings.

+"""
+Review claims for pull requests.
+
+To avoid two reviewers (human or AI) reviewing the same PR, a reviewer says what
+they intend to review and claims it, by commenting on the PR:
+
+    claim               claim this PR for review, for the default window
+    claim 5 days        ... for a specific window (hours / days / weeks)
+    claim 2026-08-01    ... until a specific date
+    disclaim            release the claim early
+
+The bot requests a review from the claimant, assigns them, applies the
+`review-claimed` label and keeps a single status comment recording the deadline.
+Claiming again extends the window; submitting a review completes the claim.
+A claim that runs out without a review is released -- the claimant comes off the
+PR as reviewer and assignee -- and announced on Zulip, so that somebody else
+picks the PR up.
+
+The whole state of a claim lives in that one status comment, in a hidden marker
+holding a JSON record.  The comment is edited in place rather than reposted, so a
+PR accumulates at most one of them however often the claim is extended, and there
+is nothing to keep in sync anywhere else.
+
+Sample usage, from the workflows in .github/workflows/review_claim*.yml:
+
+    $ python scripts/review_claim.py comment   # handle an issue_comment event
+    $ python scripts/review_claim.py review    # handle a pull_request_review event
+    $ python scripts/review_claim.py expire    # remind about, and expire, claims
+
+The first two read the event from GITHUB_EVENT_PATH.  All three need GITHUB_TOKEN
+and GITHUB_REPOSITORY; the Zulip announcement additionally needs ZULIP_SITE,
+ZULIP_BOT_EMAIL, ZULIP_BOT_API_KEY and ZULIP_STREAM, and is skipped with a
+warning when they are not set.
