Log-sum upper bound. Against a nonnegative, subnormalized,
absolutely continuous reference, the finite relative entropy is at most the
log-sum ∑ p log(p/q) (equality when the reference is normalized).
Gibbs lower bound against an unnormalized nonnegative reference of
total mass T: ∑ q log(q/P) ≥ −log T.
The grouped mass as an indicator sum.
Pushforward identity: an expectation of a function of the grouped variable is the expectation of its composite.
The summand of a class-function expectation depends on the class only.
Pointwise-density bound, class form: the expected log-ratio of the
class masses of q and P is at most log K when q ≤ K·P.
Gibbs lower bound, class form.
The j-th coordinate marginal of a law on words.

The product of the coordinate marginals is a probability law.
Tensorization: for a law on words dominated by K times a product
reference, the coordinate marginals' log-sums against the factor total at
most log K — ∑_j D(q_j ‖ ν) ≤ D(q ‖ ν^{⊗}) ≤ log K
(eq first-history-chain-term).
