Liouville measure

The substrate's own notion of volume is not chosen. On the sector the programme works with, it is forced to be the same measure the Born rule uses.

In plain terms

An underlying deterministic world needs a way of saying how much of it is of one kind rather than another, and that means a notion of volume that the motion does not distort as it flows. Classical mechanics has one and calls it after Liouville. The worry is that such a volume might be picked to order, tuned to produce whatever answer was wanted. On the space this programme uses, it cannot be: the space and its symmetry leave exactly one option.

In CSD

This is the hinge between the ontic story and the probability story. The substrate carries a finite Liouville measure and a motion that preserves it; the epistemic side needs the Fubini-Study measure to turn regions into Born weights. On the identity-projection sector those two are proved to be the same object, so the ruler used for probability is the substrate's own volume rather than a second, convenient assumption. It is also the honest reply to the standard objection that typicality arguments smuggle in the measure they justify.

Mathematically

For the unitary-flow sector the Liouville measure is the Fubini-Study measure, and it is the forced Kahler volume: the sector's typicality measure is determined by the state space and its unitary symmetry rather than posited. Scope to disclose: measure-preservation of the flow is carried as a structure field for physical admissibility (an ontic postulate), not derived; what is proved is that IF the sector is this one, the volume is forced.
