What the article says around this equation
is positive because is completely positive and every with 0 is itself a valid state; it is unital, = , because preserves trace for every input. This duality is the same construction Stinespring used to show that any completely positive map admits a dilation to a larger, unitary description [ 9 ] , and it lets a coarse Hamiltonian be pulled back onto the fine space without the fine space’s own structure ever being disturbed.
