# Chapter "Wave-function parametrization of a probability measure", §5 —
# the full spectrum of Born-fiber cardinalities

Source: `book.tex`, chapter *"Wave-function parametrization of a probability
measure"* — the free-field construction of §5 (`book.tex` ~line 1706) and the
Introduction's remark (`book.tex` ~line 805) that the wave function is *one
possible* parametrization of a probability distribution.

Waves 151–155 computed the exact Born-fiber count
`Nat.card (bornMapSphere ⁻¹' {p}) = 2 ^ (#positive coordinates of p)`, gave the
sharp two-sided bound `2 ≤ #fiber ≤ 2ⁿ`, and characterized the two extremes.

This wave records the **structural shape** of the fiber cardinality and pins
down the *entire spectrum* of values it takes:

* every fiber size is an **even power of two** dividing `2ⁿ`;
* the fiber size is **monotone** in the positive support;
* and — building an explicit `k`-point uniform distribution — **every** value
  `2ᵏ` with `1 ≤ k ≤ n` is attained, and no others.  Hence the set of achievable
  fiber cardinalities is exactly `{2ᵏ : 1 ≤ k ≤ n}`.

## Main results

* `bornFiber_card_even` — `2 ∣ #fiber`.
* `bornFiber_card_isPowerOfTwo` — `∃ k, 1 ≤ k ∧ k ≤ n ∧ #fiber = 2 ^ k`.
* `bornFiber_card_dvd_two_pow_n` — `#fiber ∣ 2 ^ n`.
* `bornFiber_card_mono` — `posSupport p ⊆ posSupport q → #fiber p ≤ #fiber q`.
* `unifDist` — the uniform distribution on the first `k` coordinates, with
  `posSupport` of cardinality `k`.
* `exists_bornFiber_card_eq_two_pow` — for `1 ≤ k ≤ n` some distribution has
  fiber cardinality `2 ^ k`.
* **headline** `bornFiber_card_achievable_iff` — a number `c` is the cardinality
  of some Born fiber iff `c = 2 ^ k` for some `1 ≤ k ≤ n`.

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

variable {n : ℕ}

/-
Every Born fiber has an even number of points: the global `±1` sign is
always a free involution, so the exponent `#positive coords` is at least `1`.
-/


/-
The Born-fiber cardinality is a power of two with exponent between `1` and
`n`: exactly `2 ^ (#positive coords)` with `1 ≤ #positive coords ≤ n`.
-/




/-
The Born-fiber cardinality is monotone in the positive support: a
distribution with a larger positive support has at least as many wave
functions.

/-- The uniform distribution supported on the first `k` coordinates. -/
noncomputable def unifDist (n k : ℕ) : Fin n → ℝ :=
  fun j => if (j : ℕ) < k then (1 : ℝ) / k else 0

/-
For `1 ≤ k ≤ n`, `unifDist n k` is a probability distribution.
-/


/-
For `1 ≤ k ≤ n`, `unifDist n k` has exactly `k` strictly positive
coordinates.
-/


/-
For every `1 ≤ k ≤ n` there is a probability distribution whose Born fiber
has exactly `2 ^ k` points — the uniform distribution on the first `k`
coordinates.
-/


/-
**Headline.** The set of achievable Born-fiber cardinalities is exactly
`{2 ^ k : 1 ≤ k ≤ n}`: a number `c` is the cardinality of some Born fiber iff
`c = 2 ^ k` for some `k` with `1 ≤ k ≤ n`.

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.
