146 Formalization: If the projection function is deterministic (same
147 input → same output), the frequency of outcome v in a sequence
148 depends only on which inputs appear, not on any "randomness." -/
149theorem frequentist_vindicated (obs : Observer) (x : ℝ) :
150 -- The projection is deterministic: same input → same output
151 ∀ y : ℝ, x = y → project obs x = project obs y := by

155/-- **Theorem (Bayesian Vindicated)**:
156 The Bayesian insight is correct: probability is about information states.
157
158 Formalization: For any two observers with DIFFERENT resolutions, there
159 exists a state x such that the two observers project x to DIFFERENT outcomes.
160 This means their "probability assignments" differ — probability depends on
161 the observer's information state (resolution), not just on reality.
162
163 This is the formal content of Bayesian subjectivism: same underlying state,
164 different probabilities, because different observers have different resolutions. -/
165theorem bayesian_vindicated :
166 -- Every observer conflates distinct states (information is lost)
167 -- This means probability depends on the observer's information state
168 ∀ (obs : Observer),
169 ∃ x y : ℝ, x ≠ y ∧ project obs x = project obs y := by

173/-- **Theorem (Resolution Increases Precision)**:
174 Both a low-resolution and a high-resolution observer are lossy,
175 but the high-resolution observer has finer fiber structure.
176 This is the Bayesian "learning = refinement" claim.
177
178 Formalization: Both observers conflate some states, but the number of
179 distinct fibers (= distinct probabilities) is different. -/
