Directed simulation overhead #
For finite source signatures, the local overhead of a realization is the
largest operation-gadget size, normalized to be at least one. The normalization
is essential because free output wires allow projections to have zero-gate
implementations. Taking the infimum over realizations gives an extended-natural
directed overhead; ⊤ means that no realization exists. Its logarithm is an
extended-real directed distance satisfying the triangle inequality.
Maximum selected gadget size, normalized to be at least one.

Optimal normalized local overhead for realizing source in target.
The value is ⊤ if no realization exists.
