A finite local interface has observable algebra

where is finite and every is finite dimensional. Its state space is represented by unnormalized positive blocks:

The blocks include classical outcomes, occupation flags, and controller records. Tensor products give multi-site interfaces.

A complete instrument is a finite family of CP maps whose sum is trace preserving. Its recorded channel is

Failure outcomes are included. Classical discard sums blocks without conditional normalization. We use the standard finite-dimensional CP-map framework Choi,Watrous.
