Option Completion in the Orthonormalization Argument #

This file contains the auxiliary algebra used when the orthonormalization theorem is applied to the completion of a submeasurement by a fresh failure outcome. The results compare the completed measurement with the restriction obtained by discarding this fresh outcome.

Completing a submeasurement by a fresh failure outcome preserves bipartite strong self-consistency up to the paper's factor 2: the original diagonal gap controls the original outcomes, and the same gap controls the residual none outcome after applying permutation invariance.

Discarding the extra none outcome from the option-completed measurement can only decrease the qSDD sum: one simply drops a nonnegative summand.
