Wiener (1933). This is what licenses reading a return probability as a measure of spectral atomicity.

Moves against it

depends-on The purity is the modular return amplitude analytically continued to imaginary modular time s = -i, not a long-run average of it along the real axis.
refines The Cesaro-averaged return probability at window T is comparable to the spectral measure's correlation integral at scale 1/T, with absolute constants.
supports The one-sided averaging window in Theorem 6.2 gives the same limit as the classical symmetric window, for two independent reasons.
depends-on Spectral atomicity is exactly zero for every physically realisable neural signal, and what its estimators measure is the quality factor of the rhythms divided by the lag budget.
depends-on The exact defect in equation (9.1) is the Bohr covariance of the two modes' return curves, so multiplicativity requires the detuning to be resolved by the averaging window rather than rational independence of the spectra.
supports The obstruction to estimating atomicity is the frequency domain rather than the 1/f background, and a cross-segment time-domain U-statistic estimates the lag-truncated atomicity with bias two orders of magnitude below the periodogram estimator.
depends-on Chapter 6's modular spectral measure is the distribution of modular energy, which coincides with a power spectrum only on states supported in the one-quantum sector, and such states are not faithful.
depends-on The coherence index equals the purity exactly when the modular Hamiltonian has non-degenerate spectrum, and exceeds it by up to a factor of the dimension when it does not.
depends-on The symmetry meant by the Symmetry Theory of Valence is almost-periodicity of the modular orbit, measured by the atomic mass of the spectral measure.
depends-on Valence is consonance times replica symmetry: V = C(1 - 2D/Dmax), so intensity of feeling is bounded by spectral coherence.
