Countably many classes of unit vectors (Proposition C) #
The unit vectors of a real Hilbert space fall into countably many classes such that any
two vectors x, y of one class satisfy 1 + ⟪x, y⟫ ≥ η > 0 for a constant η of the
class. Choose a Hilbert basis. For rationals 0 < b < a, a unit vector whose coordinates
of magnitude at least a form a nonempty set S, all others having magnitude at most
b, is classified by (a, b) and the sign of its coordinate at an element of S chosen
by Classical.epsilon, a choice that depends only on S. Two vectors of one class differ
in their supports, giving ‖x + y‖ ≥ a - b, or share the sign of a coordinate of
magnitude at least a, giving ‖x + y‖ ≥ 2a.
Applied to the signs ±1 of a law in L², this gives countably many classes of vertices
within which any two signs agree with probability bounded below.
A vector whose coordinates in a Hilbert basis all vanish is zero.
Only finitely many coordinates of a vector in a Hilbert basis have magnitude at least a
positive t.
A real family with a nonzero member, only finitely many of whose members exceed any
positive magnitude, has rationals 0 < b < a such that some member has magnitude at least
a and every member of magnitude below a has magnitude at most b.
The vertices fall into countably many classes within which any two signs agree with probability at least a positive constant of the class.
