• Abstract: We investigate dimensional constraints arising from representation theory when abstract graph edges possess internal degrees of freedom but lack geometric properties. We prove that such internal degrees of freedom can only encode directional information, necessitating quantum states in $\mathbb{C}^2$ (qubits) as the minimal representation. Any geometrically consistent projection of these states maps necessarily to $\mathbb{R}^3$ via the Bloch sphere. This dimensional constraint $d=3$ emerges through self-consistency: edges without intrinsic geometry force directional encoding ($\mathbb{C}^2$), whose natural symmetry group $SU(2)$ has three-dimensional Lie algebra, yielding emergent geometry that validates the hypothesis via Bloch sphere correspondence ($S^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3$). We establish uniqueness (SU($N>2$) yields $d>3$) and robustness (dimensional saturation under graph topology changes). The Euclidean metric emerges canonically from the Killing form on $\mathfrak{su}(2)$. A global gauge consistency axiom is justified via principal bundle trivialization for finite graphs. Numerical simulations verify theoretical predictions. This result demonstrates how dimensional structure can be derived from information-theoretic constraints, with potential relevance to quantum information theory, discrete geometry, and quantum foundations.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.
