Characterization of measurements failing the lower-bound condition
Characterize the repeatable measurements in nomic toy theory that fail the inclusion condition β({0} ⊕ V) ⊆ I_pre, particularly by providing a useful characterization of those for which the additional predicted information is not absorbed into the predictively inaccessible subspace.

While eqref{eq:lower_bound} holds for many measurements of interest (it only fails for $M{\rm pred}$ among the four options in \cref{tab:basic-interactions}), we do not currently know of a useful characterisation of those that do not satisfy it.
