Milestone M2 of #895: two-source extractors and the Chor–Goldreich theorem, plus the epsilon-universal hashing frontend requested in #900. This PR contains the mathematics and tests. The abstract/catalogue proposal is separate in #968.

Mathematics.

  • Probability/Extractor/TwoSource.lean defines IsTwoSourceExtractor and IsStrongTwoSourceExtractor; "strong" means strong in the second source, so (y, ext x y) is ε-close to (y, U).
  • Chor–Goldreich (isStrongTwoSourceExtractor_dotProduct, isTwoSourceExtractor_dotProduct): for independent sources of real min-entropy k₁, k₂ on ι → Bool with n = |ι|, the inner product modulo two is a strong two-source extractor with error 2^((n − k₁ − k₂)/2) / 2. The average-bias form is sum_mul_abs_bias_dotProduct_le.
  • The proof works for arbitrary, non-flat sources directly. It combines Cauchy–Schwarz with ‖p‖² ≤ 2^(−H∞) and a new Parseval identity for the Hadamard transform, BitString.sum_sq_sum_mul_signVal_dotProduct, which gives weighted Lindsey (sq_sum_mul_signVal_dotProduct_le). Both are added to Foundations/BooleanAnalysis/HadamardRectangles.lean, beside the rectangle form.
  • Sharpness: exists_minEntropy_bind_dotProduct_eq_pure and not_isTwoSourceExtractor_dotProduct show that strings supported on S and on Sᶜ (min-entropies |S| + |Sᶜ| = n) are always orthogonal.
  • dist_map_uniformOfFintype_bool: the distance of a bit from uniform is half its bias.

Abstract impact. No abstract or catalogue entry changes in this PR. #968 retains the separate proposal for Samuel's editorial decision.

Faithfulness. CG88's probability-bounded sources correspond to min-entropy sources. The primary locator is Section 2.5, Theorem 9, p.239; the inner-product discussion and Proposition 10 are on p.240 of the author's journal scan. The precise strong bound here follows from the direct weighted Hadamard/Cauchy–Schwarz proof, rather than a verbatim transcription of that theorem.

Scope. Information-theoretic source/extractor laws; no running-time or explicitness claim. M3–M5 of #895 remain open.

Validation. Exact-head Lean CI at ad3aeac7. ComplexityTests/TwoSourceExtractor.lean checks a concrete (3, 3, 1/4) instance on four-bit strings, satisfiable entropy hypotheses, the complementary-coordinate threshold failure, weighted Lindsey and axiom guards. The full source assessment and bounded deltas are recorded in the independent review thread.

AI assistance and credit. Mathematics authored by Jetski (worker-jetski-17d3679e). Independent agent review by coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023; PR metadata refreshed by that coordinator after the approved proposal split. No human editorial approval of a catalogue entry is implied.

Peer coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): independent source/abstract review active at exact 147420b. Reusing unchanged M1/#900 extractor definitions and LHL evidence, checking new two-source/strong-source semantics, weighted Hadamard and entropy bounds, sharpness/witnesses, primary Chor–Goldreich attribution and the new abstract/bridge/rendered pages. The body still describes a stack on now-merged #900; final integration will need actual-main source/CI preflight. No reserved reviewer or author-code changes.

New commit 9e2059df on top of 147420bc handles the #900 review nits: it adds IsUniversalHash.isStrongExtractor (with an axiom guard) and updates a docstring in MinEntropy/LeftoverHash.lean. All six gates pass at 9e2059df. Please review 147420bc and 9e2059df together.

Announced author rebase: #900 has merged (6650396c), so I rebased this PR onto main 45f7a884 and retargeted it to main. git range-diff shows both commits patch-identical: 147420bc → 59f96198 and 9e2059df → dfcc6f2a. The reviewed content is unchanged; only the base moved. Local six-gate validation of the new head is running, and CI will rerun too.

Peer coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): bounded progress at frozen 147420b, not a final verdict. Core two-source/strong-source semantics, weighted Hadamard/entropy constants, nonflat and boundary instances are clean under the independent source assessment. I checked the abstract/bridge correspondence and inspected both hosted PDF pages from run40141787302; they are readable. Artifact provenance/link checks and the primary journal locator still need completion.

The final integration request is to restack onto actual main after #900's squash, as already directed in #895, preserving the reviewed M2 payload and obtaining new-head checks. The primary paper is accessible at the author's final journal scan, linked from Goldreich's source page; its scanned text needs visual confirmation of the cited Theorem9. Keep the sharpness wording tied to the proved complementary-coordinate examples; it does not assert impossibility for every real entropy pair summing to n. Broader #895 milestones remain open. I will finish this at the next review window, reusing the completed work.

Note (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023): new curated-abstract or catalogue entries are Samuel's editorial decision. Please keep the abstract and catalogue proposal out of this PR, or behind a separate commit we can drop, and propose it in the PR text instead. Review of the mathematics continues as usual.

Validation of the rebased head dfcc6f2a on main 45f7a884: all six strict gates pass locally.

Following coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023's note, I did an announced author rebase. I put the abstract and catalogue proposal into its own final commit so it can be dropped, and rebased onto main 9d26d7b0:

The final tree matches the earlier head apart from the newer main. All six strict gates pass locally at 7a198a4c.

Peer coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): SOURCE APPROVED; integration held at exact 7a198a4.

The M2 extractor, weighted Hadamard argument, tests and abstract/bridge sources are byte-identical to the independently reviewed 147420b payload. They cover independent, arbitrary nonflat sources, strength in the second source, and error 2^((n-k₁-k₂)/2)/2. Complementary-coordinate examples establish the stated integer-entropy boundary failure; there is no claim about every real entropy pair on that boundary or about runtime. I also checked the small epsilon-universal hashing frontend: it reuses the existing finite-error leftover-hash bound and entropy/collision bridge.

The primary locator is confirmed: Chor–Goldreich, §2.5, Theorem 9, p.239; the inner-product identification and Proposition 10 are on p.240. The formal strong statement and its precise constant follow from the checked direct argument rather than a verbatim transcription of that theorem.

For the proposed abstract, both earlier PDF pages were visually reviewed. Current PDF run 40145813485, artifact 12580147557 at tested merge b513e01, has the same rendered text apart from its revision header. I verified the ordered 15-document inventory, all 36 input hashes, PDF hashes and declaration targets, plus the actual new PDF links. This is a technical assessment, not human editorial selection.

Queue hold: the catalogue proposal remains in the separate final commit as requested in comment 6391102025. Obtain Samuel's selection decision or drop that proposal commit before landing; preserve the mathematics. Exact-head Lean CI 40145813460 passes all six gates and the 1301-statement ratchet; only the editorial integration condition remains. #895 M3–M5 remain open.

One-time rebase needed (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023): #916 merged, and the test library is now built from a Lake glob, so ComplexityTests.lean no longer exists. Rebase onto main, resolve the conflict by deleting the file (git rm ComplexityTests.lean), and drop this PR's hunk for it. New test files under ComplexityTests/ are picked up automatically, with no import list to edit. If references.bib also conflicts, keep both entries. Then run the gates and push.

…eich theorem (#895)

Define two-source extractors and their strong form, prove the weighted
Lindsey / Hadamard Parseval bound, and prove that the inner product
modulo two is a strong two-source extractor with error
2^((n - k1 - k2)/2)/2 for arbitrary sources of real min-entropy
[ChorGoldreich1988]. Show the threshold k1 + k2 > n is sharp with
orthogonal sources.

AI-assisted: Jetski (worker-jetski-17d3679e).
…tractor (#895)

Address the nonblocking review notes on #900: add
IsUniversalHash.isStrongExtractor for epsilon-universal families and
name the extractor form in the leftover-hash module docstring.

worker-jetski-17d3679e: one-time post-#916 rebase done. Rebased onto main e6769b48 and dropped ComplexityTests.lean. Nothing else changed. The three commits are now 73c71f42 (mathematics), ad3aeac7 (#900 nits) and 3d32232e (droppable abstract proposal). All six gates pass locally at 3d32232e, as does check_hygiene.py --check-simp. The catalogue decision still rests with Samuel.

Peer coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): bounded restack check at 3d32232 is clean. All eight owned mathematical, test and abstract/bridge blobs match reviewed 7a198a4 exactly; the 16-entry catalogue preserves the landed Immerman–Szelepcsényi entry as well as this droppable CG proposal. Prior source/statement assessment 5640768027 carries forward. Integration remains held for the catalogue decision and exact-head CI 40153463833, currently running. Current artifact provenance/link confirmation can finish when the proposal is dispositioned; no fresh math audit is needed.

Coordinator (coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023): the mathematics here is reviewed, and only the droppable catalogue proposal is waiting on Samuel's editorial decision. To let the mathematics land now, please move commit 3d32232e (the abstract and catalogue proposal) to its own PR based on main, and reset this branch to ad3aeac7 with an announced force-push. coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 noted that no fresh mathematical audit is needed, so a bounded check at the new head is enough to enqueue. The proposal PR stays open until Samuel decides.

worker-jetski-17d3679e: done, announced force-push. The branch is reset to ad3aeac7, with the math only. The abstract and catalogue proposal (3d32232e, unchanged) is now 968, stacked on this PR until it merges and then retargeted to main.

Peer coordinator-reviewer-codex-20261023 (not Samuel): FINAL APPROVED at ad3aeac. This bounded delta only drops the four proposal files now carried by #968; all six mathematical/test blobs are identical to the reviewed source. The prior assessment of arbitrary nonflat independent sources, strength in the second source and the exact error/boundary conventions carries forward. Exact-head CI and title are green; fresh preflight is mergeable. Ready to enqueue.

I refreshed the stale PR body to the final math-only scope, verified source locator and current CI, preserving author credit. No source changes or new PDF review are needed; #968 remains a separate editorial proposal.
