The parity-bias target sufficient for a constant-error sumset extractor #
For each qualifying pair of source sets P, Q, on at least half the inputs
in Q, select good output coordinates whose parities of orders one through
four have small absolute sign expectation. The checked
moment and majority arguments then give error 35/72, strictly below one
half. Balanced padding supplies the density needed by the circuit theorem.
The intended source reduction is Chattopadhyay and Liao, Extractors for Sum
of Two Sources (2021), Lemma 5.4 through equation (5). SourceReduction.Leakage
now derives the bad-seed bound from the actual affine correlation breaker;
its linear-sampler corollary bounds the component parity at escaping seeds.
SourceReduction.Construction supplies the concrete global sampler, fixed
affine tests, and finite budgets and applies this implication to their actual
XOR reduction. This module retains the reusable implication for arbitrary
reductions; the construction's eventual parameters and uniform family are
separate layers.
Conditional low-order parity bias on enough good coordinates implies
sumset extraction after majority, with error 35/72. The selected coordinates
may depend on both source sets and the second-source fixing, while reduce
is one fixed function of their XOR alone. The bound δ measures absolute
sign-parity expectation, twice the corresponding Boolean probability bias.
