This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Pure states are represented by rays in a complex Hilbert space, equivalently points of projective Hilbert space.
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.

Pure states are extremal quantum states.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
