Let a persistent hidden classical bit be uniform. Initialize a visible qubit in . Apply , measure in the basis, and record . Then reset the carrier to the same , independently of . Apply the same sector-controlled and measure again.

Both first histories have probability , and

The carrier input after the reset is identical in both histories. The retained history dependence is entirely classical, stored in .
