Algebraic core of the two-point mixture lemma #
This file develops the two-point mixture decomposition used in the proof of
Theorem 2.1. It isolates the equality of the lower and upper first moments
and constructs the mean-one two-point law Q_{x,y}.
The two expressions for M agree whenever the law has mean one. No
support assumption is needed for this algebraic identity.
The mean-one two-point law, expressed as a genuine nonnegative measure.

Pointwise algebra behind the two-point mixture formula.
The measure obtained after expanding the double integral in the two-point mixture formula.
The first restricted measure is multiplied by the upper moment (integration
in y), and the second by the lower moment (integration in x).

Splitting a measure at one into its below, atom, and above pieces.
The two-point mixture formula after evaluating its two product integrals. The support assumption is not needed for this final algebraic identity; it is needed only to ensure that the sampled lower point is nonnegative.
The two-point mixture formula at the canonical lower moment.
The lower moment is nonnegative.
The degenerate branch of the mixture decomposition: if M = 0, a
mean-one probability law is concentrated at one.
Full mixture dichotomy: either the law is the degenerate law at one, or its positive lower moment gives the two-point mixture formula.
