The following are equivalent:

  1. a preliminary linear lift exists;

  2. every , , has some extension in ;

  3. there exists a linear with .

This equivalence imposes no continuity, locality, normalization, or wavefront condition.

Proof. For (i)(ii), choose with and use .

For (ii)(iii), choose a Hamel basis of , choose an extension for the canonical value of each basis element, and extend linearly. Every vector is a finite linear combination, so the resulting assignment is a linear map with the required restriction.

For (iii)(i), take .
