Support Disjointness and Orthogonality #
When t > 2L, the intervals (-L, L) and (-L + t, L + t) are disjoint, so
zeroExtend G I and S_t(zeroExtend G I) have disjoint support. This gives the
Pythagorean identity ‖G̃ - S_t G̃‖² = 2‖G‖² which saturates the unitary identity bound.

Interval disjointness #
When t > 2 * L and L > 0, the intervals (-L, L) and (-L + t, L + t) are disjoint.
This is because the right endpoint of (-L, L) is L, while the left endpoint
of (-L + t, L + t) is -L + t > -L + 2L = L.
The support of translationOp t (zeroExtend G I) is contained in the shifted interval.
Specifically, if I = Ioo a b, then translationOp t (zeroExtend G I) vanishes
outside Ioo (a + t) (b + t).
Pointwise product vanishing and norm identities #
When t > 2L and L > 0, the zero-extended function and its translation
have disjoint support. Their pointwise product vanishes everywhere.
The L² norm of zeroExtend G I - translationOp t (zeroExtend G I) when t > 2L:
the squared norm of the difference equals the sum of squared norms
(Pythagorean identity from disjoint support).
‖G̃ - S_t G̃‖² = ‖G̃‖² + ‖S_t G̃‖²
When t > 2L, the squared norm of the translated function equals the original:
‖S_t G̃‖² = ‖G̃‖², by translation invariance of Lebesgue measure.
Combined with the Pythagorean identity, this gives ‖G̃ - S_t G̃‖² = 2‖G̃‖².
