# Chapter "Wave-function parametrization of a probability measure", §5 —
# the Born parametrization restricts to a *homeomorphism* on the nonnegative orthant

Source: `book.tex`, chapter *"Wave-function parametrization of a probability
measure"* — the Introduction's statement (`book.tex` ~line 805) that *"the
wave-function is nothing else than one possible parametrization of any
probability distribution; the parametrization is a surjective map from an
hypersphere to the set of all possible probability distributions"*, together
with the free-field construction of §5 (`book.tex` ~line 1706).

Previous waves on this thread built the Born map `x ↦ (x_k)²`, showed it is a
*continuous* surjection of the unit sphere onto the probability simplex
(`ChapterFreeFieldBornCont`), and — after quotienting out the `{±1}ⁿ` sign gauge
— proved that on the **nonnegative orthant** of the sphere it is a *bijection*
onto the simplex (`ChapterFreeFieldBornSectionBij`).  This wave upgrades that
set-theoretic bijection to a genuine **homeomorphism**: the nonnegative part of
the unit sphere and the probability simplex are *topologically the same space*.

The proof is the standard "continuous bijection from a compact space to a
Hausdorff space is a homeomorphism" argument
(`Continuous.homeoOfEquivCompactToT2`): the domain
`sphere 0 1 ∩ nonnegOrthant n` is a closed subset of the compact sphere, hence
compact, and the simplex is Hausdorff as a subspace of `Fin n → ℝ`.

## Main results

* `isClosed_nonnegOrthant` — the nonnegative orthant is closed.
* `isCompact_sphere_inter_nonnegOrthant` — the nonnegative part of the unit
  sphere is compact.
* `bornEquiv` — the `Equiv` between the nonnegative part of the sphere and the
  simplex packaging Wave 147's `bornMap_bijOn_nonneg_sphere`.
* **headline** `bornHomeo` — the Born map is a homeomorphism
  `↥(sphere 0 1 ∩ nonnegOrthant n) ≃ₜ ↥(stdSimplex ℝ (Fin n))`.

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

/-- **Headline.** The Born map is a *homeomorphism* from the nonnegative part of
the unit sphere onto the probability simplex.  Since it is a continuous bijection
(Wave 147) from a compact space (`isCompact_sphere_inter_nonnegOrthant`) to a
Hausdorff space (the simplex, a subspace of `Fin n → ℝ`), it is automatically a
homeomorphism: the nonnegative part of the hypersphere and the space of all
probability distributions are topologically identical. -/
