Anchored Implication & Event-Indexed Fixed Points in Hilbert Spaces: Uniqueness and Quantitative Rates
Abstract
We develop a synthesis of orthomodular logic (projections as propositions) with operator fixed-point theory in Hilbert spaces. First, we introduce an anchored implication connective , defined semantically so that it is true only when either is false or else is true and is true in a ''commuting'' context specified by a fixed nonzero projection . This connective refines material implication by adding a side condition (commutation of with the anchor) and reduces to classical implication in the Boolean (commuting) case. Second, we study fixed-point convergence under event-indexed contractions. For a single nonexpansive (not necessarily linear) map , we prove that the event-indexed condition is equivalent to the classical assertion that some power is a strict contraction; thus the ''irregular events'' phrasing does not add generality in that setting. We then present the genuinely more general case of varying operators (switching/randomized): if blocks of the evolving composition are contractive with bounded inter-event gaps and a common fixed point exists, we obtain uniqueness and an explicit envelope rate. Finally, with an anchor that commutes with , the same reasoning ensures convergence on under event-indexed contraction on that subspace. We include precise scope conditions, examples, and visual explanations.
