# Chapter "Wave-function parametrization of a probability measure", §5 —
# every Born fiber has at least two points; the Born map is never injective

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

Wave 151 (`ChapterFreeFieldBornFiberCardGeneral`) computed the exact Born-fiber
count for *every* probability distribution `p`:
`Nat.card (bornMapSphere ⁻¹' {p}) = 2 ^ (#positive coordinates of p)`.

This wave draws the qualitative consequence emphasized by the book: since every
probability distribution has *at least one* strictly positive coordinate (its
coordinates are non-negative and sum to `1`), the exponent is always `≥ 1`, so
**every** Born fiber contains **at least two** wave functions.  In particular the
Born (wave-function) parametrization of a probability distribution is *never*
unique: the map `bornMapSphere` is not injective in any dimension `n ≥ 1`.  This
is the precise sense in which the wave function carries a genuine `±1` sign
(phase) gauge freedom beyond the probability distribution it represents.

## Main results

* `posSupport_nonempty` — the positive support of a probability distribution is
  nonempty.
* `one_le_posSupport_card` — hence `1 ≤ #positive coordinates`.
* **headline** `two_le_bornFiber_card` — every Born fiber has `≥ 2` points.
* `bornMapSphere_not_injective` — for `n ≥ 1` the Born map on the sphere is not
  injective.

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

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.
