The rank-one conditioning ladder (R4 converse piece 3, #107) #
Under the rank-one coupling clauses, the singleton blocks — composed with the structure
projection — are mutually conditionally independent given the full latent σ-algebra
comap Prod.snd. This is the support-free core of the screening field; the per-support
statement is a later specialization.
The ladder #
The conditioning algebra climbs and then descends, each rung by a merged tool:
- the singleton peel (#173) under the law, pulled to the coupling along
Prod.fst(#175) — conditioninginvariantAlgebra.comap fst; - down to
comap (lowerFactorMap 1 ∘ fst)by the representable-conditioning transfer (#163), whose hypothesis is the eventwise generation of the rank-one factor (#157) pulled alongfst; - up to the join with the latent algebra by the independent-refinement theorem (#174), whose hypothesis is the coupling's conditional-independence clause (#161/#177) joined freely with the conditioning (#176);
- down to the latent algebra alone by #163 again, the representability of the join
supplied by the resolution identity and
eventuallyMeasurableSet_sup(#176).
Every conditioning move is modulo the coupling measure. No identification of the latent σ-algebra with the invariant algebra is asserted anywhere — the available statements are eventwise, and that is all the ladder uses.
The singleton block at v, read through the structure coordinate of the rank-one
coupling space. Named so the family is fully typed at every use site; mentions no basis and
no law, so it lives at the signature level.

At rank one, local latents see everything: every latent coordinate has empty support,
hence is visible at every A, so conditioning on the local latents is conditioning on the
whole latent coordinate. A raw σ-algebra equality — no measure in sight.
Per-support screening at rank one. Given the ladder's conclusion — mutual conditional
independence of the singleton blocks given the full latent σ-algebra — and the nullary
recovery, the rank-one block at each support is conditionally independent of the rank-truncated
remainder given the latents visible at that support. This is the screening field of a
rank-one RankRepresentation, and it mentions no basis: everything it needs arrives through
its hypotheses.
The conditioning ladder. Under a coupling of the law with the rank-one latents — structure marginal the law, rank-one factor resolved by a measurable latent read, structure and latent conditionally independent given the factor — the singleton blocks are mutually conditionally independent given the full latent σ-algebra.
