Formal uncertainty principle implies duality

Let AA and BB be theories, and let ΔA\Delta A and ΔB\Delta B denote their formal uncertainties. Suppose that l>0l>0.

Formal uncertainty–duality conjecture. If AA and BB satisfy

ΔAΔBl>0,\Delta A\,\Delta B\geq l>0,

then they correspond to dual theories.

This conjecture proposes that a formal uncertainty principle is sufficient for duality. The surrounding discussion emphasizes that the converse need not hold: dual theories can exhibit a formal uncertainty principle through deconstruction and reconstruction without necessarily satisfying a traditional uncertainty principle. The status of the proposed implication is not resolved in the supplied text.
