Exact mirror transfer for the conditional ideal family #
Primitive fine and prefix mirrors imply the mirror identity for the keyed conditional ideal family. Consequently the one-party replacement estimate is also the cross-party error needed by the hiding induction.
Stated in a bipartite model (Phase 4 of planning/mipco-track.md): an exact mirror of the first
player's operator P by the second player's R is the identity of vectors
π (πA P) ψ = π (πB R) ψ, the form in which the register model supplies it
(BipartiteModel.reg_mirror, mirror_expand); in the tensor-product model it is
aOp P *ᵥ ψ = bOp R *ᵥ ψ. Coarse-graining is fibSumIn, and A ⊗ B is πA A * πB B.
Exact mirrors are preserved by coarse-graining both families along the same map.
Mirrors reverse multiplication order; commutation of the ideal prefix and fine projectors restores the order defining the conditional ideal.
An exact mirror changes a cross-party distance into a same-party distance.
The conditional replacement gives the cross-party ideal estimate whenever the primitive ideal families have their exact EPR mirrors.
