The tagged common-alphabet game of the strict tracial reduction
(03_tracial_reduction.tex, eq tagged-alphabets and following): question
law supported on (Alice-tag, Bob-tag) pairs where it equals μ, payoff
the zero-extended tagged payoff — equal to V on correctly tagged
question/answer pairs, zero otherwise. Its win is the manuscript's
"continuous linear functional of the common-alphabet correlation table".

The winning functional is 1-Lipschitz for the unhalved ℓ¹ distance on
correlation tables (03_tracial_reduction.tex: "Apply Theorem 3.1 closely
enough that its value changes by less than ρ/2"; coefficients μ·V ∈ [0,1]
entrywise).
Unfolding computation for the tagged winning functional: only the (Alice-tag question, Bob-tag question, Alice-tag answer, Bob-tag answer) entries of a common-alphabet correlation carry weight (03_tracial_reduction.tex, eq tagged-alphabets: the tagged question law and payoff vanish off the correctly tagged block). Auxiliary lemma.
Tagged symmetrization (node 1.1.2; 03_tracial_reduction.tex, eq
tagged-alphabets and following): every commuting correlation for the
asymmetric game H induces a commuting correlation on the tagged common
alphabets with the same tagged payoff — original measurements on own-tag
questions, fixed outputs on wrong-tag questions, zero wrong-tag answer
effects.
Commutant pullback, consumed form (node 1.1.4;
03_tracial_reduction.tex, eqs left-right-actions,
tracial-correlation-formula): every tracially embeddable correlation (Bob
in the commutant of the left action) is realized by a TracialStrategy —
Bob's effects pulled back through the canonical anti-isomorphism R to a
POVM in the algebra, after passing to the generated von Neumann algebra in
its standard form. This is the Stage-B tracial-Tomita obligation L(M)′ = R(M); it is proved, never assumed.
Detagging (node 1.1.3; 03_tracial_reduction.tex, proof of prop strict-tracial-reduction): local deterministic postprocessing — wrong-tag outputs to a fixed valid answer, tags stripped — of a tracially embeddable common-alphabet correlation yields a tracial strategy for the original asymmetric game whose winning probability is at least the zero-extended tagged payoff (postprocessing is an ℓ¹ contraction that cannot decrease the nonnegative tagged payoff, and coarse-graining POVM effects preserves tracial embeddability). The output type deliberately folds the node-1.1.4 pullback into this statement — the 1.1.3/1.1.4 proof-obligation boundary differs from the audit tree's, with the composition unchanged.
Strict tracial reduction (node 1.1; 03_tracial_reduction.tex, prop
strict-tracial-reduction): for every finite game H (possibly asymmetric
alphabets) and every
λ < ω^co(H), H has an exact tracially embeddable commuting strategy
with winning probability strictly greater than λ. Applied downstream
with H = G^{⊗n} and λ = e^{−γn} (node 1.5.2). No attainment of the
supremum is assumed.
