Proof-indexed quantizers #
Application lemmas for scalar quantizers that implement a declared rounding map on an explicit domain.
The contract records both where the quantizer is valid and which mathematical rounding function it realizes. Generic numerical code can therefore request the contract it needs without knowing whether execution uses fixed point, a codebook, a floating format, or another representation.
A refining scalar quantizer represents its declared rounded value.
A refining scalar quantizer represents an independently stated result equal to its rounding map.
This is the normalization-tolerant shape used by generic automation: the displayed result may already have been simplified without changing the quantizer contract.
Apply a scalar quantizer and attach its erased representation proof.
