Lemma: Finite-token and fixed-copy refusals
Finite instruments and continuum quantum non-determination › A token table does not acquire an unknown expectation · lines 1060–1083 · proof included or linked
XIX-D@1#lem:token
A finite token with a fixed numerical decoder cannot represent exactly an expectation taking infinitely many values on its preparation class.
For two positive definite density matrices, no measurement on a fixed finite number of copies can deterministically output different exact labels.
Proof. A finite decoder has finite image, proving (i). For (ii), if , then their -fold tensor powers are positive definite. Every nonzero positive effect has strictly positive pairing with both:
Thus no label effect can have probability one for one input and zero for the other.
