Pulled-back partitions and factor-relative entropy invariance #
Given a factor map π : α → β from a measure-preserving system (α, T, μ) to (β, S, ν)
(Oseledets.Entropy.IsFactorMap), every finite measurable partition R of the target β
pulls back to a finite measurable partition of the source α, whose cells are the preimages
π⁻¹(R.cells). This file constructs that pulled-back partition MeasurePartition.pulledBack and
proves the factor-relative entropy invariance
h(π⁻¹R, T) = h(R, S) (Oseledets.Entropy.factor_relative_eq),
the first reduction of the Abramov–Rokhlin addition formula (issue #13). It is a clean change of
variables: the intertwining π ∘ T = S ∘ π gives T⁻ᵏ(π⁻¹Rⱼ) = π⁻¹(S⁻ᵏRⱼ), so the cells of the
iterated join of π⁻¹R are the π-preimages of the cells of the iterated join of R; and
MeasurePreserving π gives μ(π⁻¹E) = ν(E), so the two iterated-join entropy sequences
coincide for every n, hence so do their Fekete limits.

Equal subadditive sequences have equal Fekete limits. Since Subadditive.lim u is
sInf ((fun n => u n / n) '' Ici 1), depending only on the underlying sequence u and not on the
subadditivity proof, two subadditive sequences that agree as functions have equal limits.
The pulled-back partition π⁻¹ R of a finite measurable partition R of the target β
along a measure-preserving map π : α → β: the partition of the source α whose cell at index
i is the preimage π⁻¹ (R.cells i). Each cell is measurable (preimage of a measurable set under
the measurable π); the family is pairwise almost-everywhere disjoint (the preimage of an
a.e.-disjoint pair is a.e. disjoint, since π pushes μ to ν); and the cells cover the source
(the preimage of the cover ⋃ i, R.cells i = univ is univ).

Intertwining of iterated-join cells. If π intertwines the dynamics, π ∘ T = S ∘ π, then
the cell at index f of the iterated join of the pulled-back partition π⁻¹R is the π-preimage
of the cell at f of the iterated join of R:
ksJoinCells (π⁻¹R) T n f = π⁻¹ (ksJoinCells R S n f). Coordinatewise this is
T⁻ᵏ(π⁻¹Rⱼ) = π⁻¹(S⁻ᵏRⱼ), the iterate π ∘ T^[k] = S^[k] ∘ π of the intertwining via

Factor-relative entropy invariance. Let π : α → β be a factor map from (α, T, μ) to
(β, S, ν) (a measure-preserving intertwining π ∘ T = S ∘ π), and let R be a finite measurable
partition of the target. Then the Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy of the pulled-back partition π⁻¹R
relative to T equals that of R relative to S:
h(π⁻¹R, T) = h(R, S).
This is the first reduction of the Abramov–Rokhlin addition formula. The proof is a change of
variables: for each n the cells of the iterated join of π⁻¹R are the π-preimages of those of
the iterated join of R (ksJoinCells_pulledBack), and μ(π⁻¹E) = ν(E) by measure-preservation,
so the two iterated-join entropy sequences ksEntropySeq agree as functions of n; the
subadditive sequences are therefore equal and have equal Fekete limits (Subadditive.lim_congr).
