核心引理

引理 L1-8(测量的不可逆性)

MeasurementIrreversibility : Prop ≡
∀M : MeasurementProcess .
¬∃M⁻¹ : Process . M⁻¹ ∘ M = id_S

where
MeasurementProcess : Type ≡ (S × O) → (S' × O' × R)
id_S : S → S is identity function

辅助定义

测量过程

MeasurementProcess : Type ≡ 
{ measure : (System × Observer) → (System × Observer × Record)
, creates_information : ∀s,o . |π₁(measure(s,o))| > |s|
, increases_entropy : ∀s,o . H(π₁(measure(s,o))) > H(s)
}

where
π₁ : (A × B × C) → A // First projection
H : System → ℝ // Entropy function

信息创造

InformationCreation : MeasurementProcess → Prop ≡
λM . ∀(s,o) .
let (s',o',r) = M(s,o) in
r ∉ s ∧ s' = s ∪ {r} ∪ {Desc(r)}

信息创造证明

引理 L1-8.1(测量创造信息)

MeasurementCreatesInfo : Prop ≡
∀M : MeasurementProcess . InformationCreation(M)

证明

Proof of information creation:
Let M be a measurement process, (s,o) initial state.

1. Before measurement:
- System in state s
- Observer doesn't know exact state

2. After measurement:
- Produces result r
- r contains information about s
- r must be recorded (self-ref completeness)

3. New information:
- r ∉ s (didn't exist before)
- s' = s ∪ {r, Desc(r)}
- Added at least 2 elements

Therefore measurement creates information ∎

熵增分析

引理 L1-8.2(测量导致熵增)

MeasurementIncreasesEntropy : Prop ≡
∀M : MeasurementProcess . ∀(s,o) .
let (s',o',r) = M(s,o) in
H(s') > H(s) ∧ H(s') ≥ H(s) + log(2)

证明

Proof of entropy increase:
Entropy change: ΔH = H(s') - H(s)

Since s' ⊃ s and s' ≠ s:
1. State count increases: |s'| > |s|
2. Description complexity increases
3. By entropy definition: H(s') > H(s)

Specifically:
- Minimum case: binary measurement
- H(s') ≥ H(s) + log(2)
- Equality only for simplest measurement ∎

不可逆性证明

定理:主要结果

MainTheorem : Prop ≡
∀M : MeasurementProcess .
¬∃M⁻¹ : Process .
∀(s,o) . M⁻¹(M(s,o)) = (s,o)

证明

Proof by contradiction:
Assume ∃M⁻¹ such that M⁻¹(s',o',r) = (s,o).

1. Information conservation requirement:
- M⁻¹ must "delete" record r
- In self-ref complete system, info cannot be deleted
- Deletion itself needs recording

2. Entropy monotonicity:
- By axiom: H(S_{t+1}) > H(S_t)
- Reverse requires: H(s) < H(s')
- But M⁻¹ would need H(s) = H(s')
- Violates entropy axiom

3. Causal paradox:
- Record r may have influenced evolution
- Other parts may have "seen" r
- Complete elimination needs time reversal

4. Self-reference paradox:
- M⁻¹ is system operation
- Executing M⁻¹ creates new record r'
- Need (M⁻¹)⁻¹ to eliminate r'
- Infinite regress

Contradiction. Therefore measurement irreversible ∎

部分可逆性

引理 L1-8.3(条件部分可逆)

ConditionalPartialReversibility : Prop ≡
∃M : MeasurementProcess . ∃U : UnitaryPart .
PartiallyReversible(M, U) ∧ ¬CompletelyReversible(M)

where
PartiallyReversible(M, U) ≡
∃aspects . U can reverse aspects of M
CompletelyReversible(M) ≡
∃M⁻¹ . M⁻¹ ∘ M = id

分析

Analysis:
1. Reversible parts:
- Some changes to measured object
- Unitary part of quantum operations

2. Irreversible parts:
- Existence of record r
- Observer state change
- Total entropy increase

3. Essential difference:
- Local reversibility ≠ Global reversibility
- Operation reversibility ≠ Information reversibility

量子测量联系

引理 L1-8.4(投影测量不可逆)

ProjectiveMeasurementIrreversible : Prop ≡
∀P : ProjectiveMeasurement .
P satisfies MeasurementIrreversibility

where
ProjectiveMeasurement projects |ψ⟩ → |i⟩ (eigenstate)
