If two pure quantum states overlap by (1/2​)1/n, their n-copy states have overlap 1/2​. Each block spans an effective qubit, with orthonormal basis e0​=Ψ1​ and e1​=2​Ψ2​−Ψ1​. Applying the two-block PBR exclusion measurement for zero and plus uses 2n independently prepared copies. A common single-copy ontic overlap of positive mass remains positive under this finite tensor power.
