All Bell scenarios have independent finite, nonempty Alice and Bob input and output alphabets. A behavior is a nonnegative conditional output law normalized at every input pair; NS\mathrm{NS}NS imposes both no-signaling marginal identities. Processing uses one initial box with rules and randomness fixed independently of the supplied behavior. Write D(P∥Q)D(P\Vert Q)D(P∥Q) for classical Kullback–Leibler divergence with natural logarithms, zero numerator contributing zero and positive numerator over zero contributing +∞+\infty+∞. Define Sb(P∥Q)=max⁡x,yD(P(⋅,⋅∣x,y)∥Q(⋅,⋅∣x,y))S_b(P\Vert Q)=\max_{x,y}D(P(\cdot,\cdot\mid x,y)\Vert Q(\cdot,\cdot\mid x,y))Sb​(P∥Q)=maxx,y​D(P(⋅,⋅∣x,y)∥Q(⋅,⋅∣x,y)). For an input law ddd, put Dd(P∥Q)=∑x,yd(x,y)D(P(⋅,⋅∣x,y)∥Q(⋅,⋅∣x,y))D_d(P\Vert Q)=\sum_{x,y}d(x,y)D(P(\cdot,\cdot\mid x,y)\Vert Q(\cdot,\cdot\mid x,y))Dd​(P∥Q)=∑x,y​d(x,y)D(P(⋅,⋅∣x,y)∥Q(⋅,⋅∣x,y)), with zero-weight terms equal to zero. Let L\mathcal LL be all local-hidden-variable behaviors on the same alphabets. Define Snl(P)=min⁡Q∈LSb(P∥Q)S_{\rm nl}(P)=\min_{Q\in\mathcal L}S_b(P\Vert Q)Snl​(P)=minQ∈L​Sb​(P∥Q), Su(P)=min⁡Q∈LDu(P∥Q)S_u(P)=\min_{Q\in\mathcal L}D_u(P\Vert Q)Su​(P)=minQ∈L​Du​(P∥Q) for the uniform joint law uuu, Suc(P)=max⁡dX,dYmin⁡Q∈LDdXdY(P∥Q)S_{uc}(P)=\max_{d_X,d_Y}\min_{Q\in\mathcal L}D_{d_Xd_Y}(P\Vert Q)Suc​(P)=maxdX​,dY​​minQ∈L​DdX​dY​​(P∥Q), and Sc(P)=max⁡dmin⁡Q∈LDd(P∥Q)S_c(P)=\max_d\min_{Q\in\mathcal L}D_d(P\Vert Q)Sc​(P)=maxd​minQ∈L​Dd​(P∥Q) over all joint laws. For every no-signaling behavior PPP and every UCLOSR wiring UUU, whose input and output kernels are products of four normalized one-party kernels,

Suc(U(P))≤Suc(P).S_{uc}(U(P))\le S_{uc}(P).Suc​(U(P))≤Suc​(P).

The component wiring itself has no shared hidden variable. This is the uncorrelated component monotonicity used in the LOSR decomposition.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-6.1-sol

Let s,ts,ts,t be any Bell scenarios, each with finite nonempty question and answer sets, denoted X,Y,A,BX,Y,A,BX,Y,A,B for sss and X′,Y′,A′,B′X',Y',A',B'X′,Y′,A′,B′ for ttt. Choose nonnegative normalized kernels IA(x∣χ)I_A(x\mid\chi)IA​(x∣χ), IB(y∣ψ)I_B(y\mid\psi)IB​(y∣ψ), OA(α∣a,x,χ)O_A(\alpha\mid a,x,\chi)OA​(α∣a,x,χ), and OB(β∣b,y,ψ)O_B(\beta\mid b,y,\psi)OB​(β∣b,y,ψ), and define the transformation

(ur)(χ,ψ,α,β)=∑a,b,x,yOA(α∣a,x,χ)OB(β∣b,y,ψ) r(x,y,a,b)IA(x∣χ)IB(y∣ψ).(ur)(\chi,\psi,\alpha,\beta)= \sum_{a,b,x,y}O_A(\alpha\mid a,x,\chi)O_B(\beta\mid b,y,\psi)\, r(x,y,a,b)I_A(x\mid\chi)I_B(y\mid\psi).(ur)(χ,ψ,α,β)=a,b,x,y∑​OA​(α∣a,x,χ)OB​(β∣b,y,ψ)r(x,y,a,b)IA​(x∣χ)IB​(y∣ψ).

Let ppp be a nonnegative normalized source array whose Bob marginal is independent of Alice’s question and whose Alice marginal is independent of Bob’s question. For either scenario, let L\mathcal LL consist of all nonnegative normalized arrays ℓ(x,y,a,b)=∑hπ(h)Ah(a∣x)Bh(b∣y)\ell(x,y,a,b)=\sum_h\pi(h)A_h(a\mid x)B_h(b\mid y)ℓ(x,y,a,b)=∑h​π(h)Ah​(a∣x)Bh​(b∣y), with an arbitrary hidden-variable set, a discrete probability mass function π\piπ, and nonnegative normalized response distributions Ah,BhA_h,B_hAh​,Bh​. Define D(r∥v)=+∞D(r\|v)=+\inftyD(r∥v)=+∞ when some ri>0r_i>0ri​>0 has vi=0v_i=0vi​=0, and otherwise D(r∥v)=max⁡{0,∑irilog⁡(ri/vi)}D(r\|v)=\max\{0,\sum_i r_i\log(r_i/v_i)\}D(r∥v)=max{0,∑i​ri​log(ri​/vi​)} in [0,+∞][0,+\infty][0,+∞], using natural logarithms and total real division and logarithm at zero. Define the product-input strength by

Sprod(r)=sup⁡dX≥0, ∑xdX(x)=1dY≥0, ∑ydY(y)=1inf⁡ℓ∈L∑x,ydX(x)dY(y) D(r(x,y,⋅,⋅) ∥ ℓ(x,y,⋅,⋅)).S_{\mathrm{prod}}(r)= \sup_{\substack{d_X\ge0,\ \sum_xd_X(x)=1\\d_Y\ge0,\ \sum_yd_Y(y)=1}} \inf_{\ell\in\mathcal L} \sum_{x,y}d_X(x)d_Y(y)\, D\bigl(r(x,y,\cdot,\cdot)\,\|\,\ell(x,y,\cdot,\cdot)\bigr).Sprod​(r)=dX​≥0, ∑x​dX​(x)=1dY​≥0, ∑y​dY​(y)=1​sup​ℓ∈Linf​x,y∑​dX​(x)dY​(y)D(r(x,y,⋅,⋅)∥ℓ(x,y,⋅,⋅)).

Then Sprod(up)≤Sprod(p)S_{\mathrm{prod}}(up)\le S_{\mathrm{prod}}(p)Sprod​(up)≤Sprod​(p), with each strength evaluated in its corresponding scenario. Input distributions may have zero entries, and weighted divergences use 0⋅(+∞)=00\cdot(+\infty)=00⋅(+∞)=0.
