Exact assertion
A two-by-two response has two diagonal entries—its faces—and one off-diagonal channel connecting them. Positivity constrains the channel by the two faces, just as the diagonal length of a rectangle is constrained by its sides. Peirce decomposition is the algebraic name for separating those diagonal and connecting pieces.
The stated conclusion follows inside the declared model. Reusing it elsewhere requires carrying the same object definitions, assumptions and typing.
