3 Three Exact Theorems

Theorem 1 (Universal Boson Norm). For any n-site equal superposition with arbitrary phases,

       ∘ ------
∥B ∥ =   n-−-1.
           n

Proof. ρij = (1∕n)ei(ϕi−ϕj), so |Bij|2 = 1∕n2 for all i≠j. There are n(n − 1) off-diagonal pairs, giving ∥B∥2 = n(n − 1)∕n2 = (n − 1)∕n. □ □

Theorem 2 (Universal Fermion Norm). For any n-site equal superposition with arbitrary phases,

∥F ∥ = √1-.
         n

Proof. Fk = |ψk|2 = 1∕n for all k, so ∥F∥2 = ∑ k1∕n2 = 1∕n. □ □

Theorem 3 (Fermion-Boson Conservation Law). For any pure state ψ,

∥F ∥2 + ∥B∥2 = 1.

Proof. For any pure state, ρ2 = ρ, so ∥ρ∥2 = Tr(ρ2) = Tr(ρ) = 1. Since F and B occupy orthogonal subspaces, ∥ρ∥2 = ∥F∥2 + ∥B∥2 = 1. □ □

Remark (Connection to Paper VII). For ψ(𝜃) = cos𝜃ei + isin𝜃ej, ∥B(𝜃)∥2 = sin2(2𝜃)∕2 (Paper VII, exact). Then ∥F(𝜃)∥2 = cos4𝜃 + sin4𝜃, and

∥F∥2 + ∥B ∥2 = cos4𝜃 + sin4 𝜃 + 2 sin2 𝜃cos2𝜃 = (cos2𝜃 + sin2𝜃)2 = 1.

Theorem 3 subsumes the Paper VII result as a special case.

Corollary 1 (Pauli exclusion). For a localised fermion ψ = ej: ∥F∥ = 1, ∥B∥ = 0. No compression residual is produced. Double occupancy has zero off-diagonal content and is informationally invisible.
