# The Born law on a continuum: `P(B) = ∫_B |Ψ|²` is a probability *measure*

Source: the `ConditionalUnitary` chapter's *"A Less Arbitrary Construction"*
section (`Book/ConditionalUnitary.lean`) and proof plan appendix §E
(`Book/ProofPlans.lean`), whose *Boundary* paragraph defers "the analytic
integrability of `∫_B |Ψ₁|² dν`" to the finite/discretized level.

`BookProof.ChapterContinuityUnitary` recovers the conditional law as a *finite*
sum `∑_{z ∈ B} |Ψ_t z|²` on the cyclic lattice, and
`BookProof.ChapterContinuityUnitaryInfinite` upgrades it to a countable sum on
`ℓ²(ℤ)`.  This module removes the discretization altogether: on an arbitrary
measure space `(α, μ)` and for a state `Ψ ∈ L²(μ)`, the Born prescription

  `P(B) = ∫_B ‖Ψ x‖² dμ x`

is defined as a genuine *measure* (`bornMeasure`, the density measure
`μ.withDensity ‖Ψ ·‖ₑ²`), so countable additivity is automatic; it is a
*probability* measure exactly when `Ψ` is normalized
(`isProbabilityMeasure_bornMeasure`), and it is absolutely continuous with
respect to the background measure `μ` (`bornMeasure_absolutelyContinuous`) — no
mass appears where `μ` sees none.

The dynamical statement is the capstone `condProb_of_bounded_dynamics`: for a
*bounded self-adjoint* generator `H` on `L²(μ)` and the unitary group
`U t = exp (i t H)` (the same construction as in the two lattice chapters, via
`ChapterContinuityUnitaryInfinite.exp_smul_I_unitary`), the evolved state
`Ψ_t = U t Ψ` carries a Born law that is a probability measure on the continuum
for every time `t`, absolutely continuous with respect to `μ`.

What is *not* claimed: unbounded generators (the continuum Laplacian) still lie
outside the statement; that is the book's standing open layer.

Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`,
`Quot.sound`).

/-- **The Born law of a state on a continuum**, as a measure:
`P(B) = ∫_B |Ψ x|² dμ x`.  Being a `Measure`, it is countably additive by
construction — the continuum counterpart of the finite additivity proved for the
lattice Born weights. -/

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
