Assembly: joint measurability, the integral identity, and the #
majorant integral (proof layer)
Joint measurability of the bin index in the (shift, value) pair.
Integrability of the fixed-shift disagreement integrand.
Integrability of the scalar majorant.
The majorant integrates to the manuscript bound with C = 100.
The θ-averaged disagreement bound (eq grid-disagreement, C = 100):
swap the θ- and coupling-integrals by Tonelli, apply the pointwise
θ-average master bound, and integrate the majorant.
Shift-measurability of the disagreement functional.
The disagreement functional is nonnegative.
Shifted-bin disagreement with cutoffs (node 1.3.3;
06_otqcs.tex, lem otqcs-grid, eqs ab-mass + grid-disagreement). Over an
abstract coupling ν — probability measure on ℝ × ℝ, almost surely
nonnegative coordinates, unit coordinate second moments (eq
joint-moments), both high squared tails beyond H at most ρ — with
ratio r = 1 + α, 0 < α ≤ 1/2, window 0 < L < H, and
D = ∫ (a − b)² dν (= ‖h−k‖₂² at consumption, eq joint-moments):
(i) for every shift θ ∈ [0,1) the retained rounded masses satisfy
1 − ρ − L² ≤ a_θ, b_θ ≤ r² (eq ab-mass); (ii) the average over
θ ∼ Unif [0,1) of Γ_θ is at most C (D + √D / α + ρ + L²) for a
universal numerical constant C (eq grid-disagreement).
Common shift selection (node 1.3.4; 06_otqcs.tex, eq
common-shift): for a finite family of couplings satisfying the
grid_disagreement hypotheses uniformly — one α, L, H and one tail
bound ρ for every member — and a probability weight π on the
family, there is one deterministic shift θ₀ ∈ [0,1) for which the
π-average of Γ_{θ₀} is at most C (D̄ + √D̄ / α + ρ + L²), where
D̄ is the π-average of the cross second moments (= E_π D_{st} at
consumption). Average selection: no union bound, no division by π.
Instantiated at the pair family ι = S × T.
