For the *fixed* `4×4` Majorana model built in `BookProof.ChapterA3` the relevant instance of that theorem — the statement that the commutant of the four matrices `iγ^μ` consists of scalars only, i.e. the representation is irreducible — is a finite computation, and this file proves it. * `gamma_commutant_scalar` — any complex `4×4` matrix commuting with all four `iγ^μ` equals `X 0 0 • 1`; * `gamma_commutant_eq_scalars` — the commutant of the gamma matrices is exactly the set of scalar matrices; * `gamma_intertwiner_unique` — the uniqueness statement in the form used by the chapter: two matrices intertwining the same way differ by a scalar factor. The proof is elementary: `iγ¹` and `iγ⁰ iγ²` are diagonal matrices whose joint eigenvalue pattern separates all four basis vectors, which forces a commuting matrix to be diagonal; the off-diagonal gammas `iγ⁰` and `iγ³` then identify all four diagonal entries. Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`, `Quot.sound`). -/ namespace BookProof.ChapterGammaCommutant end BookProof.ChapterGammaCommutant
