Under the preceding hypotheses, define

where

Then

In the surrogate-only case set and replace the biological law by the surrogate law.

The mean error is at most , and

Proof. Use the triangle inequality for the state quadratic norm in (eq:implementation). Definition def:preparation bounds the principal field term; Lemma lem:number bounds the vector-change term. The scalar and bounded-operator contributions are at most and .

The spectral distance to the target point mass is the root mean-square error. Minkowski gives

Finally apply the Wasserstein triangle inequality to (eq:carrier-W2). Cauchy–Schwarz and Markov's inequality give the last claims.
