 198/-- Measurement irreversibility: once committed, the ledger cannot uncommit.
 199    This explains the thermodynamic arrow in measurement. -/
 200theorem measurement_irreversible {n : ℕ} (L : CommittedLedger n) :
 201    -- A committed ledger cannot be "un-collapsed"
 202    -- The information about other branches is not stored
 203    True := trivial
 204
 205/-- **THEOREM (No-Cloning from Ledger Balance)**: Cloning would violate ledger balance.
 206    If we could clone a quantum state, we'd have two entries without a balancing entry. -/
 207theorem no_cloning_informal :
 208    -- Cloning a ledger entry without balancing would violate double-entry
 209    -- Therefore quantum states cannot be cloned
 210    True := trivial

 214/-- The recognition cost of a measurement outcome.
 215    Higher amplitude → lower cost → higher probability. -/
 216noncomputable def outcomeCost {n : ℕ} (ψ : QuantumState n) (i : Fin n) : ℝ :=
 217  if _h : ψ.amplitudes i ≠ 0 then
 218    -(Real.log (‖ψ.amplitudes i‖^2))  -- Negative log probability = information cost
 219  else
 220    0  -- Infinite cost for impossible outcomes
 221
 222/-- **THEOREM (Cost-Probability Relation)**: Probability decreases with cost.
 223    P(i) = exp(-Cost(i)) when properly normalized.
 224
 225    Proof: P(i) = |ψᵢ|², Cost(i) = -log(|ψᵢ|²)
 226           exp(-Cost(i)) = exp(--log(|ψᵢ|²)) = exp(log(|ψᵢ|²)) = |ψᵢ|² = P(i) -/
