A refresh with an arbitrary left-only tampered seed #
The honest refresh rereads the original right source, seeded by the actual first left extraction. The tampered refresh uses an arbitrary seed computed from the left state. The guarantee retains the full left state, the original right input to the initial-seed map, both refresh seeds, and the tampered refresh output. Joint source envelopes pay only the displayed message alphabet factors; no conditional source or intermediate seed guarantee is assumed. Exact transcript factors remain normalized at null observations.
This is the terminal first-output step for the opposite-advice flip-flop
argument of Chattopadhyay--Goyal--Li, Non-Malleable Extractors and Codes,
with their Many Tampered Extensions, Algorithm 1 and the look-ahead
analysis in Lemma 6.5 and Claim 6.6, printed pp.25--29:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.00107. It uses the finite two-sided leakage
estimate underlying Chattopadhyay--Liao (2021), Lemma 3.26:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.12652. FlipFlop.Opposite.False and
FlipFlop.Opposite.True compose the complete flip-flop guarantee.
Every observed variable comes from the original joint law, with both original states preserved.
The final transcript and both conditional kernels are normalized, including impossible rows.
The actual refresh is a probability law for normalized original factors.
The refresh uses the original right source and the honest seed recorded in the exact transcript.
Two actual extraction calls tolerate an arbitrary left-only tampered seed.
A combined joint-envelope budget bounds both observation losses.
