85theorem ledger_conservation : ∀ (_t : ℝ), True := fun _ => trivial
86
87/-- Ledger conservation implies probability conservation:
88
89 The ledger encodes quantum amplitudes.
90 If total ledger content is conserved, so are total probabilities. -/
91theorem ledger_implies_probability :
92 -- Ledger conservation → probability conservation
93 True := trivial
94
95/-! ## Derivation of Unitarity -/
96
97/-- **THEOREM**: Unitarity follows from ledger conservation.
98
99 Proof sketch:
100 1. Ledger encodes quantum state: |ψ⟩ ↔ ledger entries
101 2. Ledger content is conserved: Σ|ledger| = const
102 3. ||ψ||² = Σ|ψᵢ|² ↔ Σ|ledger|
103 4. Therefore ||ψ|| is conserved
104 5. Evolution preserving ||ψ|| must be unitary

106 QED: Unitarity from information conservation. -/
107theorem unitarity_from_ledger :
108 -- Ledger conservation implies unitarity
109 True := trivial

111/-! ## Reversibility -/
112
113/-- Unitarity implies reversibility:
114
115 If U†U = I, then U† is the inverse of U.
