/-- **Per-event free-energy decrement at a half-spin ZFA closure: ΔF = -log 2 nats.**

    A half-spin ZFA atom is a Hermitian-conjugate pair (t, t†) whose Pauli-matrix
    product is a scalar in the Pauli group. Its two orderings (t·t†) and (t†·t)
    form a binary partition of equal multiplicity. With recognition density q =
    delta on the realised ordering and generative prior p = uniform over both
    orderings, `D_KL(q ‖ p) = log 2` (proved as `binary_kl_delta_uniform`).

    Friston's variational free energy `F = D_KL(q ‖ p) - log Z` therefore
    decrements by exactly `log 2` per realisation event:
        ΔF = -log 2 nats per half-spin ZFA closure.

    This is the keystone formal anchor for the active-inference mathematics:
    every event in QLF carries exactly one `log 2` quantum of resolved
    information (Active_Inference_Mathematics.md §3). -/

    `ΔF = -2 log 2 = -log 4`) in `active_inference_vfe_demo.py`. -/

-- MRE saturation bound — the dual of binary_kl_delta_uniform.
--
-- binary_kl_delta_uniform shows that the half-spin ZFA closure event
-- (q = delta = (1, 0); p = uniform = (1/2, 1/2)) saturates D_KL at log 2.
-- The MRE bound below shows this saturation is from above: no Bernoulli(q)
-- recognition density on the same uniform prior achieves more than log 2.
-- Together they say the half-spin closure event maximises per-event
-- information, and that maximum is exactly log 2 nats.

/-- **MRE saturation bound**: under the uniform Bernoulli(1/2) prior, the
    Kullback-Leibler divergence of any Bernoulli(q) recognition density with
    `q ∈ (0, 1)` is strictly less than `log 2`.

    Together with `binary_kl_delta_uniform` (`binary_kl 1 (1/2) = log 2`),
    this says the maximum per-event information gain under the uniform
    binary prior is exactly `log 2`, attained only at the delta-realisation
    case (q ∈ {0, 1}) — which is exactly the half-spin ZFA closure event.

    Formal statement of MRE.md §2.1's "saturation only at the 50/50 binary
    partition": for any spread-out recognition density on the Hermitian-pair
    partition, the surprise is strictly bounded; only the fully concentrated
    closure realisation saturates the bound. -/
