Identification of alphaIic with alphaIicCE #

alphaIic (the raw existential L¹ limit) and alphaIicCE (the canonical condExp-based form) are almost everywhere equal. Both are L¹ limits of the same Cesàro averages, so uniqueness of L¹ limits gives a.e. equality.

Identification lemma: alphaIic equals alphaIicCE almost everywhere.

Proof strategy: Both are L¹ limits of the same Cesàro averages (1/m) ∑ᵢ (indIic t) ∘ X_{n+i}:

  • alphaIic is defined as the L¹ limit from weighted_sums_converge_L1
  • alphaIicCE is the conditional expectation μ[(indIic t) ∘ X_0 | tailSigma X]

By the reverse martingale convergence theorem (or direct L² analysis), the Cesàro averages converge in L² (hence L¹) to the conditional expectation. Since L¹ limits are unique up to a.e. equality, we get alphaIic =ᵐ alphaIicCE.

Note: Uses reverse martingale convergence or L² projection argument.
