CencovPetz.MarkovMorphism #
Finite/discrete Markov morphisms (row-stochastic matrices) and monotonicity of the Fisher quadratic form.
This is the “general Markov morphism” version of the deterministic sufficient-statistic result in
CencovPetz.SufficientStatistic. It provides the main finite-data-processing inequality
needed for the Čencov/Chentsov uniqueness story.

Main result #
CencovPetz.fisherBilin_pushforward_le_of_markovMorphism: Fisher monotonicity under a Markov morphism.
A finite Markov morphism α → β, presented as a row-stochastic matrix.
We additionally assume every output coordinate is reachable with positive probability from some
input (col_pos). This ensures the pushforward of a strictly positive distribution is again
strictly positive, so we stay on the open simplex where the Fisher metric is nondegenerate.

K a b. Nonnegativity.
Each row sums to
1.Each column has a strictly positive entry (so the open simplex maps to the open simplex).
