Let $A$ be an answer reduction stage for $5$ -level normal form verifiers (MIPRE.AnswerReduction 5). Programs are Mathlib's Nat.Partrec.Code, and a program $pc$ halts on the empty input when $pc.\mathrm{eval}\ 0$ is defined. A GameData is a first-order description of a synchronous game (sizes $nX, nA$ , a weight list and an acceptance list); (g\,pc).game reads it as a two-player game of the foundations, with question set $\{0, \dots, nX\}$ for both players, answer set $\{0, \dots, nA\}$ for both, the normalized weights as distribution and the listed quadruples accepted, except that unequal answers to equal questions lose. The quantum value $\mathrm{val}^*(G) =$ quantumValue G (blueprint def:q-value) is the supremum, over all tensor-product strategies (a state $\psi \in \mathbb{C}^{d_A} \otimes \mathbb{C}^{d_B}$ and, for each player and each question, a projective measurement), of the Born-rule winning probability. Then there is a computable map $g$ from programs to game descriptions such that for every program $pc$ :

\bigl(pc \text{ halts on the empty input} \Rightarrow \mathrm{val}^*((g\,pc).\mathrm{game}) = 1\bigr) \;\wedge\; \bigl(pc \text{ does not halt on the empty input} \Rightarrow \mathrm{val}^*((g\,pc).\mathrm{game}) \le \tfrac12\bigr).

This is blueprint cor:main-quantum, the quantum-value form of thm:main, with the single remaining hypothesis an AnswerReduction 5: introspection, parallel repetition and the universal machine are supplied.

Formalization Note The statement is ∃ g : Nat.Partrec.Code → HaltingGameValue.GameData, Computable g ∧ ∀ pc, (HaltsOnEmptyInput pc → quantumValue (g pc).game = 1) ∧ (¬ HaltsOnEmptyInput pc → quantumValue (g pc).game ≤ 1 / 2), with HaltsOnEmptyInput c := (c.eval 0).Dom and 1 / 2 : ℝ. GameData.game g := g.syncGame.toGame is the MIPRE.Game (Fin (g.nX + 1)) (Fin (g.nX + 1)) (Fin (g.nA + 1)) (Fin (g.nA + 1)) with the same distribution and predicate as toGame (GameData.game_μ, GameData.game_D), and MIPRE.quantumValue is the supremum of TensorProductStrategy.value. The hypothesis A : MIPRE.AnswerReduction 5 is an explicit argument. GapCompression.ofAnswerReduction A := GapCompression.ofPipeline Introspection.seven A (repetition 7) (same file) is the compression theorem built from the supplied introspection and repetition stages, of which this is the conditional consequence.
