For n≥2n\ge2n≥2 and τ∈V\tau\in Vτ∈V, compare the two rows τ⊕e1,τ⊕e2\tau\oplus e_1,\tau\oplus e_2τ⊕e1​,τ⊕e2​ with the single row τ⊕e1⊕e2\tau\oplus e_1\oplus e_2τ⊕e1​⊕e2​. The difference wτ⊕e1+wτ⊕e2−wτ⊕e1⊕e2w_{\tau\oplus e_1}+w_{\tau\oplus e_2}-w_{\tau\oplus e_1\oplus e_2}wτ⊕e1​​+wτ⊕e2​​−wτ⊕e1​⊕e2​​ equals 111 on the total, τi\tau_iτi​ on every singleton iii, and has absolute value at most 111 on every pair.

These trades correct the total count, at a bounded cost to the other statistics.

Differences from the source:

  • reading: e₁, e₂ are basis vectors of V, n unrestricted → the first two coordinates, with n ≥ 2; reason: the trade needs two coordinates; Theorem 2.1 is for large n

/-- **The three-row total trade, §A.2 p.11 (PDF p.12); §3.1 p.6 (PDF p.7).** K. Shi, H. Sun,
*Robust Exact Realization of Pairwise Boolean Statistics*, STOC 2027 submission (manuscript sha256
62090516…): "let eᵢ denote the ith standard basis vector of V and use independent uniform
translations {τ ⊕ e1, τ ⊕ e2} versus {τ ⊕ (e1 ⊕ e2)}, τ ∈ V. […] The total difference is one; the
singleton difference is τᵢ; every pair difference has absolute value at most one."

For `n ≥ 2` and every `τ ∈ V`, the difference `w_{τ⊕e₁} + w_{τ⊕e₂} − w_{τ⊕e₁⊕e₂}` is `1` on the
total, `τᵢ` on every singleton `i`, and has absolute value at most `1` on every pair.

**Formalization Note** `e₁, e₂` are the first two coordinates, `Fin` indices `0` and `1`;
`τ ⊕ eᵢ` flips coordinate `i` of `τ`. -/
