The following are equivalent:
a preliminary linear lift exists;
every , , has some extension in ;
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 .
