There exists a complex-linear map satisfying all prescribed values, classical multiplication, symmetry, and the binary involution identities if and only if the following finite-relation condition holds:

for every finite and every complex choice of coefficients.

This is an algebraic theorem. It does not assert fixed-support continuity or identify a distributional time-ordering construction.

Proof. Write . Symmetry is equivalent to , so factors through . The binary involution is equivalent to

For prescribed tensors this requires the assignments

Any linear map must respect their finite relations, proving necessity of (eq:relation-test).

Conversely, that condition defines a complex-linear map on

The space is conjugation-stable, and the assignments give . Set . Then

On the real fixed-point space , the map takes values in the real fixed-point space of .

Choose a real vector-space complement of in , extend by zero there, and complexify. Every has the decomposition

into real fixed-point vectors. The extended therefore remains conjugation-equivariant. Define , pulled back to , and .

The range of lies in , so the classical coefficient is unchanged. The construction gives symmetry, prescribed values, and (eq:X-involution). All outputs are finite linear combinations of admitted coefficient functionals. Linearity of the carrier conditions preserves their required descendants.
