For ,

For all ,

Exact selective constancy on any nontrivial real interval already forces for all .

Proof. Integrate the derivative of each block in (eq:selective). The trace norm of a block-diagonal operator is the sum of its block trace norms.

For a Hermitian , positivity and trace preservation give

Differentiating (eq:bloch) gives

Integration and the fact that distances of states are at most one prove the universal bound.

If the derivative is zero throughout an interval, division by gives . Taking two different points in the interval gives , then .
