Exact normalization of the Introspect answer format #
All malformed Introspect constructors are already rejected by the parsed predicate. They may therefore be merged into one malformed representative, without assuming that their effects vanish and without changing game value. The normalized measurement factors exactly through its full option-valued question/answer report, and preserves that report and projectivity.
Stated in a bipartite model (Phase 4 of planning/mipco-track.md): the measurements are POVMs in any
ordered ⋆-ring, and the value identity holds in any bipartite model.
A fixed malformed representative avoids any inhabitedness requirement on the source-answer and Pauli-answer alphabets.

Format normalization has exactly the original parsed-game value, including the entire malformed-answer mass.
