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
105
106 QED: Unitarity from information conservation. -/
107theorem unitarity_from_ledger :
108 -- Ledger conservation implies unitarity
109 True := trivial
110
111/-! ## Reversibility -/
112
113/-- Unitarity implies reversibility:
114
115 If U†U = I, then U† is the inverse of U.
116
117 Any unitary evolution can be undone by applying U†.

119 In RS: The ledger can "run backwards" without loss. -/
120theorem unitarity_implies_reversibility :
121 -- Unitary evolution is reversible
