Theorems

Every major theorem in the paper, ordered from the weakest hypothesis to the strongest conclusion. The first three form the central three-tier escalation; the rest extend the same machinery to discrete, multi-turn, stochastic, and pipelined settings.

All theorems

Core impossibility

Discrete and continuous

  • Discrete Impossibility — discrete IVT + non-injectivity dilemma; no topology required (paper Thm 8.2–8.3, Lean MoF_12).
  • Continuous Relaxation (Tietze) — the bridge from finitely many observations to the continuous theory (paper Thm 8.1, Lean MoF_ContinuousRelaxation).

Extensions

Unification

  • Meta-theorem — a single representation-independent statement that implies T1, the discrete dilemma, and the stochastic impossibility (Lean MoF_14).

Quantitative bounds

  • Volume bounds — explicit lower bounds on |Bε| and the cone-based persistent region (paper Thm 7.1–7.2, Lean MoF_17, MoF_18).
