g and e are finite row/column index types; L is a real g-by-e matrix, and x,y are vectors on the respective index sets. In the complementary-block results, both PSD inequalities use the same L and paired complementary matrices. The exact theorem type supplies the remaining premises. For the source-defined firstBlock and secondBlock built from the same matrices K, W, and R, their sum is 28 times the identity on the combined row/column index type.

firstBlock(K,W,R)+secondBlock(K,W,R)=28I.firstBlock(K,W,R)+secondBlock(K,W,R)=28I.firstBlock(K,W,R)+secondBlock(K,W,R)=28I.

A definitional block-matrix identity for the same shared inputs; it is not a positivity statement by itself.
