Question 14172: Block-Constant Values Give Conditioning Measurability

Original question and givens

Use one complete finite probability space with outcome indices 0 through 3, aligned masses=[10/49, 25/49, 4/49, 10/49], values X=[9, -3, 23, -9], 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?].

Step-by-step derivation

conditional model whole mass sum := sum(10/49, 25/49, 4/49, 10/49)

conditional model whole mass sum = 1

conditional model:raw aligned masses=[[10, 49], [25, 49], [4, 49], [10, 49]]

normalized masses=[10/49, 25/49, 4/49, 10/49];nonnegative=Yes;total=1

same outcome indices=[0, 1, 2, 3];X values=[9, -3, 23, -9];block labels=[0, 0, 1, 1]

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

block0 mass := sum(10/49, 25/49)

block0 mass = 5/7

block0 atom0 weighted X := mul(10/49, 9)

block0 atom0 weighted X = 90/49

block0 atom1 weighted X := mul(25/49, -3)

block0 atom1 weighted X = -75/49

block0 original weighted integral := sum(90/49, -75/49)

block0 original weighted integral = 15/49

block0 positive-mass conditional mean := div(15/49, 5/7)

block0 positive-mass conditional mean = 3/7

block label=0;indices=[0, 1];positive mass=5/7;weighted integral=15/49

block-constant conditional value=3/7

block1 mass := sum(4/49, 10/49)

block1 mass = 2/7

block1 atom2 weighted X := mul(4/49, 23)

block1 atom2 weighted X = 92/49

block1 atom3 weighted X := mul(10/49, -9)

block1 atom3 weighted X = -90/49

block1 original weighted integral := sum(92/49, -90/49)

block1 original weighted integral = 2/49

block1 positive-mass conditional mean := div(2/49, 2/7)

block1 positive-mass conditional mean = 1/7

block label=1;indices=[2, 3];positive mass=2/7;weighted integral=2/49

block-constant conditional value=1/7

block=0;indices=[0, 1];conditional values=[3/7, 3/7]

distinct values in encounter order=[3/7];constant=Yes

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

distinct values in encounter order=[1/7];constant=Yes

Result

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

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