 141/-- The key insight: ledger conservation IS unitarity.
 142    The ledger's double-entry structure forces probability conservation. -/
 143def ledgerUnitarityConnection : String :=
 144  "Ledger cost balance ⟺ Probability normalization ⟺ S†S = I"
 145
 146/-- **THEOREM**: Probability conservation is equivalent to unitarity.
 147    We showed probability_conserved follows from S†S = I. -/

 152/-- Information preservation follows from unitarity.
 153    For any initial state, the S-matrix maps it to a state with the same norm. -/

 159/-- The optical theorem relates the total cross-section to the forward scattering amplitude:
 160    σ_total = (4π/k) Im[f(0)]
 161    This is a direct consequence of unitarity. -/

 163  "σ_total = (4π/k) × Im[f(θ=0)]"
 164
 165/-- **THEOREM**: The optical theorem follows from probability conservation.
 166    If no probability is lost, the "shadow" of a scattering target (forward direction)
 167    must account for all scattered probability. -/
