Question 14156: Block-Constant Values Give Conditioning Measurability

Original question and givens

Use one complete finite probability space with outcome indices 0 through 3, aligned masses=[30/49, 12/49, 5/49, 2/49], values X=[-7, 2, 7, 7], and conditioning-block labels=[0, 0, 1, 1]. Masses are nonnegative and total exactly 1. Block labels describe a partition of this same space; list block summaries in increasing label order and outcomes in original index order. Conditional expectation is constant on each positive-mass block, with its weighted mean, and preserves every block integral. A zero-mass block is only determined almost surely: return a.s._arbitrary, never divide by zero. Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, omitting /1 for integers. Give (conditional_values,block_rows,measurable?). Each block row is [label,indices,distinct_conditional_values,constant?].

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

conditional model whole mass sum := sum(30/49, 12/49, 5/49, 2/49)

conditional model whole mass sum = 1

conditional model:raw aligned masses=[[30, 49], [12, 49], [5, 49], [2, 49]]

normalized masses=[30/49, 12/49, 5/49, 2/49];nonnegative=Yes;total=1

same outcome indices=[0, 1, 2, 3];X values=[-7, 2, 7, 7];block labels=[0, 0, 1, 1]

distinct conditioning labels in increasing order=[0, 1]

block0 mass := sum(30/49, 12/49)

block0 mass = 6/7

block0 atom0 weighted X := mul(30/49, -7)

block0 atom0 weighted X = -30/7

block0 atom1 weighted X := mul(12/49, 2)

block0 atom1 weighted X = 24/49

block0 original weighted integral := sum(-30/7, 24/49)

block0 original weighted integral = -186/49

block0 positive-mass conditional mean := div(-186/49, 6/7)

block0 positive-mass conditional mean = -31/7

block label=0;indices=[0, 1];positive mass=6/7;weighted integral=-186/49

block-constant conditional value=-31/7

block1 mass := sum(5/49, 2/49)

block1 mass = 1/7

block1 atom2 weighted X := mul(5/49, 7)

block1 atom2 weighted X = 5/7

block1 atom3 weighted X := mul(2/49, 7)

block1 atom3 weighted X = 2/7

block1 original weighted integral := sum(5/7, 2/7)

block1 original weighted integral = 1

block1 positive-mass conditional mean := div(1, 1/7)

block1 positive-mass conditional mean = 7

block label=1;indices=[2, 3];positive mass=1/7;weighted integral=1

block-constant conditional value=7

block=0;indices=[0, 1];conditional values=[-31/7, -31/7]

distinct values in encounter order=[-31/7];constant=Yes

block=1;indices=[2, 3];conditional values=[7, 7]

distinct values in encounter order=[7];constant=Yes

Result

([-31/7, -31/7, 7, 7], [[0, [0, 1], [-31/7], Yes], [1, [2, 3], [7], Yes]], Yes)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
