Wyner–Ziv converse — heterogeneous Csiszár sum identity (gateway probe) #
This is a gateway-atom probe for the Wyner–Ziv operational converse. It generalizes the
same-alphabet csiszar_sum_identity
(InformationTheory/Shannon/BroadcastChannel/ConverseGateway.lean) to two sequences over
distinct finite alphabets α (the source X) and β (the side information Y).
The Wyner–Ziv converse single-letterization needs the Csiszár sum identity to swap the
prefix conditioner X^{i-1} ↔ suffix conditioner Y_{i+1}ⁿ. Because the source and side
information live in different alphabets, the same-alphabet identity cannot be reused as-is.
The proof is a direct port of the same-alphabet version: the underlying prefix / suffix
conditional chain rules (condMutualInfo_prefix_chain_rule, condMutualInfo_suffix_chain_rule)
and the swaps (condMutualInfo_comm, condMutualInfo_map_cond_measurableEquiv) are already
polymorphic in the three role types, so the index plumbing is unchanged; only the two sequence
alphabets differ.

sourceHeterogeneous Csiszár sum identity (gateway atom for the Wyner–Ziv converse): for two
finite-alphabet sequences As : Fin n → Ω → α and Bs : Fin n → Ω → β over distinct
alphabets,
∑ᵢ I(A^{i-1}; Bᵢ | B_{i+1}ⁿ) = ∑ᵢ I(B_{i+1}ⁿ; Aᵢ | A^{i-1}).
Here A^{i-1} is the prefix fun j : Fin i.val ↦ Aⱼ and B_{i+1}ⁿ is the suffix
fun j : {j : Fin n // i.val < j.val} ↦ Bⱼ, exactly as in the same-alphabet
csiszar_sum_identity. Both sides expand (prefix chain rule on the left, reflection-based
suffix chain rule on the right) to the common triangular double sum
∑_{k<i} I(Aₖ; Bᵢ | A^{k-1}, B_{i+1}ⁿ), matched termwise by condMutualInfo_comm plus a
prodComm relabel of the conditioner. The distinct alphabets flow through untouched because
the chain rules are polymorphic in the sequence / data / conditioner role types.
