Statement
For [0, 1]-valued quote and credence sequences and soft gates, the chain from summable unmargined violations to the per-day product law to summable margined violations holds.
Source
projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/li-deference.md L244: "$$\sum_n^\infty v_n <\infty \implies q_n \gtrsim_n 0 \implies \sum_n^\infty w_n < \infty$$"; L246: "Why do we want to weaken so? Because the two stronger versions will turn out to be infeasible."
projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/packages/tt-ladder/tt-ladder-findings.md F2, verdict: the argument "is right for hard gates and wrong for soft ones: the margin makes the violation ramp saturate, but nothing stops the gate from shrinking".
Notes
The chain of li-deference.md read literally. Its second link is refuted in Lean for soft gates (not_forall_lProdSeq_imp_tSeq, with an explicit witness); its first link is proved for e ≥ 0 (lProdSeq_of_bvSeq). An invalid toy that still counts as improvable (graph/PROTOCOL.md, section 2, Improvement claims): see ladder-chain-as-written.improvable.
