For the finite model,
The same conclusion holds when is replaced by any nonempty open time interval.
Proof. Write
Then
The real functions
are linearly independent on every nonempty open interval. Indeed, a trigonometric polynomial vanishing there is identically zero, and its distinct Fourier coefficients then vanish.
Choose , , positive on some nonempty open subinterval. The real Gram matrix
is positive definite. The test functions
satisfy
The smearings therefore isolate and . Since , the algebra contains
On one factor, has the distinct eigenvalues . Polynomial functional calculus supplies all its one-dimensional spectral projections . Moreover,
Taking adjoints and products supplies every matrix unit on that factor. The factor algebras together generate , proving the assertion.
