Integral formula for Hilbert-valued contraction #
The adjoint definition of tensor contraction is identified with its literal finite-spin integral formula after pairing against an arbitrary target vector. For an L² target, the second theorem expands that target pairing as the nested integral over its representatives.

Weak integral formula for tensor contraction. Since the test vector is arbitrary, this identity uniquely determines the contracted Hilbert vector.
