141/-- The key insight: ledger conservation IS unitarity.
142 The ledger's double-entry structure forces probability conservation. -/

144 "Ledger cost balance ⟺ Probability normalization ⟺ S†S = I"

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. -/

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. -/
