# Chapter "Wave-function parametrization of a probability measure", §5 —
# the Born parametrization of the probability simplex is surjective

Source: `book.tex`, chapter *"Wave-function parametrization of a probability
measure"* — the Introduction's statement (`book.tex` ~line 805) that *"the
wave-function is nothing else than one possible parametrization of any
probability distribution; the parametrization is a surjective map from an
hypersphere to the set of all possible probability distributions"*, together
with the free-field construction of §5 (`book.tex` ~line 1706).

Wave 141 (`ChapterFreeFieldBorn`) introduced the coordinate-wise Born map
`x ↦ (x_k)²` and showed it sends the unit sphere *into* the probability simplex
`stdSimplex ℝ (Fin n)`, hence pushes the Gaussian sphere measure forward to a
genuine probability distribution on the simplex.  This file completes the book's
headline claim by proving the map is **surjective**: every probability
distribution `p` on `Fin n` is the Born image of a wave function on the unit
sphere, namely the coordinate-wise square root `x_k = √(p_k)`.

## Main results

* `bornSection` — the canonical section `p ↦ (fun k => √(p_k))` of the Born map.
* `bornMap_bornSection` — `bornMap (bornSection p) = p` for `p` in the simplex.
* `bornSection_mem_sphere` — `bornSection p` lies on the unit sphere.
* **headline** `bornMap_surjOn_stdSimplex` — the Born map restricted to the unit
  sphere surjects onto the probability simplex `stdSimplex ℝ (Fin n)`; this is
  the book's claim that the hypersphere parametrizes *"the set of all possible
  probability distributions"*.

Everything is intended to be `sorry`-free and axiom-clean.

/-
The Born map recovers `p` from its square-root section, on the simplex (where
every coordinate is nonnegative, so `(√ p_k)² = p_k`).

/-
The square-root section of a probability distribution lands on the unit sphere:
`‖bornSection p‖² = ∑ (√ p_k)² = ∑ p_k = 1`.

**Headline.** The Born map restricted to the unit sphere is surjective onto the
probability simplex: every probability distribution `p` on `Fin n` is the Born
image `bornMap x` of a wave function `x` on the unit sphere (namely
`x = bornSection p`).  This is the book's claim that the hypersphere
parametrizes "the set of all possible probability distributions".

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.
