Suppose observation spaces satisfy the branchwise closure

Initial agreement on implies:

  1. equality of all geometric history probabilities;

  2. agreement of every unnormalized history block on its declared terminal observation space;

  3. agreement of normalized conditional expectations on every positive-probability history.

Proof. Pull a terminal backward along its fixed history. Repeated application of (eq:history-closure) places the pullback in . Pairing proves (ii); proves (i). Divide by the same positive probability for (iii).
