# Chapter "Reconstructing the classical trajectory of any isolated quantum system"
— a symmetry acts on probability distributions iff it is deterministic

This file formalizes the self-contained linear-algebra core of the section
*"Time translation is a stochastic process if and only if it is deterministic"*
(Chapter *"Reconstructing the classical trajectory of any isolated quantum
system"*, `book.tex` line ~2613).

The book's setup: a Wigner symmetry acts on the wave-function by a unitary
matrix `U` with entries `U k a`.  It observes that the induced map on the
*probability distributions* (obtained after wave-function collapse / the Born
rule) is well-defined — i.e. there is a genuine group action on distributions —
**if and only if** `U` is *deterministic*, meaning each column of `U` has at
most one nonzero entry (`U m a` and `U l a` cannot both be nonzero for `l ≠ m`).

The precise mathematical fact the book extracts (its displayed computation) is
that, for a fixed column `a`, the "off-diagonal Born sum"

```
S_a(Ψ) = ∑_{k ≠ b} conj(U k a) · Ψ k · conj(Ψ b) · U b a
```

vanishes for **every** state `Ψ` iff `conj(U m a) · U l a = 0` for all `l ≠ m`
(the determinism condition for that column).

* Forward direction: if `U` is deterministic then every off-diagonal term
  already contains the vanishing factor `conj(U k a) · U b a`.
* Backward direction: the book exhibits the witness `Ψ ∝ δ_{·m} + δ_{·l}`; a
  rigorous argument needs a second complex phase (`Ψ ∝ δ_{·m} + i δ_{·l}`) to
  kill the imaginary part as well, which is the standard polarization of a
  Hermitian form.  We use the family `Ψ = δ_{·m} + z δ_{·l}` for `z ∈ ℂ`.

We model `U` and `Ψ` as plain functions (`Fin n → Fin n → ℂ`, `Fin n → ℂ`) to
avoid matrix-API friction; no unitarity hypothesis is needed for this algebraic
equivalence, and the condition over all `Ψ` is equivalent (by homogeneity) to
the book's condition over unit vectors, recorded in `offDiag_unit_iff`.

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

The off-diagonal sum equals the full bilinear product minus its diagonal:
`S_a(Ψ) = (∑ₖ conj(U k a)·Ψ k)·(∑_b conj(Ψ b)·U b a) − ∑ₖ conj(U k a)·Ψ k·conj(Ψ k)·U k a`.

**Forward direction.** If column `a` of `U` is deterministic, the
off-diagonal Born sum vanishes for every state `Ψ`.

**Backward direction.** If the off-diagonal Born sum vanishes for every
state `Ψ`, then column `a` of `U` is deterministic.

**Book's exact statement (unit-vector form).** Restricting to unit states
(pure density matrices) does not change the equivalence: the off-diagonal Born
sum vanishes on all unit states iff `U` is deterministic.
