Polynomial-sum (cardinality-free) bounds for Section 8 transport #
Cardinality-free sum-over-g bounds for the building blocks of the local-variance
transport chain. These avoid the per-polynomial blow-up that one would get by
summing the pointwise estimates: instead they use both the line-measurement POVM
identity ∑_f B^ℓ_f = B^ℓ.total and the polynomial submeasurement normalization
∑_g G_g = G.total ≤ 1 to keep the right-register weight under control.

Polynomial-sum analogue of generalizeBLineCollisionExpansion_le_error.
The line-collision expansion summed over all polynomials is bounded by
generalizeBError = md/q without multiplying by the polynomial cardinality.
The proof first applies the per-polynomial Schwartz-Zippel coefficient bound,
then uses generalizeBLineCollisionTensorMass_polysum_le_one to bound the joint
tensor mass. This is the cardinality-free reformulation of
expansion.tex:282-289 underlying eq:equivalent-local-variance.
Polynomial-sum analogue of generalizeBSeedCollisionExpansion_le_error.
This is just the line/parameter expansion-equality identity composed with the polynomial-sum line bound.
Polynomial-sum analogue of generalizeBCollisionResidual_le_error.
Reduces to the line/parameter expansion via the incident-question reindexing identity, then applies the polynomial-sum line bound.
Polynomial-sum analogue of generalizeBPointwiseSchwartzZippel.
This is the cardinality-free bound that mirrors expansion.tex:282-289: the
total weighted Schwartz-Zippel residual summed over all polynomials is bounded
by md/q, not N · md/q. This is exactly the form used inside
eq:equivalent-local-variance for the md/q transport steps in
lem:local-variance-of-points (steps 3 and 4 of the six-step chain in
expansion.tex:308-309).
