# Chapter "The Coherent State of Attention" — the divergence between two attention
distributions

`ChapterSoftmaxMaxEntropy` proves Gibbs' inequality in the entropy/cross-entropy
form.  This module packages the same content as a **relative entropy**
(Kullback–Leibler divergence) and computes it explicitly for two attention
distributions built from the *same* alignment scores at two different inverse
temperatures.

* `klDiv p q = ∑ⱼ pⱼ log (pⱼ / qⱼ)`, `klDiv_eq_crossEntropy_sub_shannonEntropy`;
* `klDiv_nonneg` — Gibbs' inequality; `klDiv_self` — a distribution is at zero
  divergence from itself;
* `klDiv_scoreSoftmax` — **the headline**: the divergence between the attention
  distributions at inverse temperatures `β` and `γ` is the *Bregman divergence of
  the log-partition function*,
  `KL(p_β ‖ p_γ) = log Z(γ) − log Z(β) − (γ − β)·⟨s⟩_β`;
* `logPartition_tangent_le` — consequently `log Z` lies above each of its tangent
  lines, the analytic shadow of the nonnegativity of the divergence;
* `fisherInformation` and `fisherInformation_eq_varScore` — the Fisher information
  of the attention family in the inverse temperature is exactly the score
  variance, i.e. the fluctuation of `ChapterSoftmaxFluctuation`.

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

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.
