If a positive physical state has exact two-point restriction on the invariant observables, then

Its value must also be independent of the representative of the class in (eq:quotient).

Proof. The field associated with is a physical observable. Positivity applied to its adjoint times itself gives (eq:physicalpositive). Quotient relations require representative independence.
