Completeness of oracularization #
Item 1 of blueprint thm:oracularization: a value-1 PCC strategy for the input game gives
one for the oracularized game of MIPRE.SeededGame.oracular.
The honest oracle measures the input strategy's two measurements jointly: at seed z its
operator for the answer pair (a, b) is M^{(false, L^𝖠 z)}_a · M^{(true, L^𝖡 z)}_b. That
product is a projection exactly because the two commute, which is what IsPCC supplies at the
question pair the seed determines — and the seed always determines a pair of positive weight,
since z itself lies in its fibre (dist_pos).
Repair 2 of rem:oracularization-repairs --- that the completeness witness has identical
measurement operators for the two players rather than a symmetric state, the campaign having
found the symmetry claim unjustified --- is structural here: a SyncStrategy is one family of
projective measurements played by both players, so there is nothing to arrange.
The seed always lands on a question pair of positive weight #
The oracle's joint measurement #
The commutation the oracle's joint measurement needs, from IsPCC at the question pair the
seed determines.
The operators of the honest oracularized strategy: an oracle measures the input strategy's
two measurements jointly, an isolated player the one the input strategy would have used, and a
shape that does not match the role gets 0.

The honest oracularized measurement family. Projectivity of the oracle's operators is
where the commutation of IsPCC is used.

The support of the oracularized question distribution #
Two questions of positive weight come from one seed. Everything the case analysis below needs
about oDist is in these two lemmas: equal roles force equal questions, so orthogonality is
available at a repeated question, and an oracle paired with an isolated player is paired with
that player's own question.
On the support of oDist the two questions are read off one seed.
On the support, equal roles mean equal questions.
Rejected answers are zero operators #
The honest oracle's operator at a pair the original predicate rejects is not merely
improbable: it is 0. This is where faithfulness of the normalized trace
(SyncStrategy.eq_zero_of_trace_re_eq_zero) earns its keep, and it is what makes the case
analysis of the decider's seven checks short.
An answer whose shape does not match the role gets the zero operator.
An oracle's answer pair that the original predicate rejects gets the zero operator.
The two consistency checks #
An oracle's component for a player's role and that player's own answer are measured by operators at the same question of the doubled game, so orthogonality applies once the oracle's other factor has been commuted out of the way.
Transposing a vanishing product: the operators are self-adjoint, so one order vanishes exactly when the other does.
Check 2(b) for Alice: the oracle's first component against Alice's answer.
Check 2(b) for Bob: the oracle's second component against Bob's answer.
The honest oracularized strategy, and its value #
fig:oracle-decider runs seven checks, and each one that can fail makes one of the two
operators, or their product, zero: a shape mismatch and a rejected oracle pair by
oracleOp_eq_zero_of_shapeOk and oracleOp_eq_zero_of_gameCheck, check 2(a) by orthogonality
at a repeated question (which the support lemma makes available), and check 2(b) by the two
lemmas above. So the strategy never produces a rejected outcome, and
MIPRE.tracialValue_eq_one_of_re_eq_zero turns that into value 1.
The honest strategy for the oracularized game: the same Hilbert space as the input strategy, the joint measurement for an oracle, and the input strategy's own measurement for an isolated player.
Equations
- S.oracleStrategy T hT = { d := T.d, d_pos := ⋯, P := MIPRE.SeededGame.oracleMeas T hT }
Instances For
No rejected outcome. At any question pair of positive weight, the honest operators for a rejected answer pair multiply to zero.
Completeness of oracularization (item 1 of blueprint thm:oracularization): a
value-1 PCC synchronous strategy for the input game gives a value-1 synchronous strategy
for the oracularized game, on the same Hilbert space and with the same operators.
The honest strategy is PCC #
Every honest operator at seed z is a product of factors drawn from the four atoms
M^{(\mathsf{false}, L^𝖠 z)}_a and M^{(\mathsf{true}, L^𝖡 z)}_b, and those atoms commute
pairwise: two at one question because distinct outcomes are orthogonal
(SyncStrategy.orthogonal) and equal ones are equal, and one of each because the input
strategy is PCC. So the case analysis is Commute.mul_left and Commute.mul_right over the
nine role pairs.
The honest oracularized strategy is PCC.
