13 Assumptions and result status
The following register distinguishes mathematical representation premises from physical preparation and access premises. Each is needed only for the results that invoke it.
| Premise | Content | Contribution and limit |
|---|---|---|
| Tetralemma premises | (SO), (D), (MI), (NS) of Section 2.1; (QT) optional. | Exclude completeness of each specified admissible classical readout. (D) supplies (SO); only (D), (MI), (NS) are separately necessary within that class. |
| Certification imports | Sequential likelihood model; entropy production and soundness of [28]; correct-dimension continuity [29]. | Keep classical isolated side information, independent seed and explicit pass probability. The observed pass does not establish that probability or universal independence. |
| Operational closure | Complete causal record laws; alternative class contains their identity-readout surrogate. | Gives non-identifiability only in that closed class. It does not establish a physical source ontology or a finite Markov surrogate. |
| Ontic preparation model | Common measurement responses, convex-linear preparation randomization, specified trine data. | Forces distinctions between ontic preparation laws. It does not assume or prove incompleteness of a pure ray as an individual state. |
| POVM domain | All pure states and finite proper ensembles, one fixed experiment, common apparatus and mixture rule. | Gives exact and quantitative eventwise sealing tests. A nonquadratic event still needs a physically allowed reader. |
| Deterministic completion | Future record is a function of the complete initial state; readout-conditioned randomness is nondegenerate. | Requires unresolved initial information. Universal determinism itself is an additional premise. |
| Pilot constitution | Specified sector graph, P3 coherent apparatus catalogue, exporter and service rules; basis-ready census and zero residues; independent symmetric gas preparation. | Produces finite retained-record predictions. These microscopic rules are not consequences of observed quantum statistics. |
| Pilot controls | Driven coherent pulses and holds; included memory; common preparation law; quantified finite gas and drainage budgets. | Supplies ordinary stored bits. Autonomous timing to and a relativistic implementation remain unproved. |
| Undrained limit | One monotone edge, initially empty stock, , , , , . | Proves an endpoint asymptotic. General graphs, reversals and a retained reader at this accuracy require further work. |
| Deterministic CHSH | Common setting-independent initial law; Alice's record precedes and is independent of Bob's later intervention; equilibrium marginal independence; . | Forces setting-dependent ontic response and permits mathematical signalling reweightings. Their physical preparation is not supplied. |
| Massive construction | Driven semibounded oscillator and internal-key Hamiltonians, guidance, complete equilibrium, retained stationary Alice record. | Gives finite noisy within the massive constitution. It is not a construction of nonequilibrium preparation. |
| Repetition | Available resets, independent trials, common laws and an implementable test. | Amplifies an operational gap. It cannot amplify an inaccessible ontic distinction into an observable one. |
| Result | Quantitative conclusion | Status |

| Initial-residue repair, Proposition 11.9 | No single independent residue law restores all monotone and return Born means. | Proved obstruction for the unchanged reset exporter; census scope. |
| CHSH reweighting, Theorem 12.1 | Union mass ; signal budget for . | Sharp mathematical bounds; reweighting accessibility separate. |
| Accessible sealing, Theorem 7.1 | . | Access-relative; complete-law conservation does not imply operational conservation. |
