\begin{equation} \inf _{a\in \mathcal A_+(Y,\theta )}d_\theta (u,a) =d_\theta (u,P_\theta [u]_{\mathcal I})=\tau (u). \end{equation}
On ordinary models, $p\mapsto P_\theta [p]_{\mathcal I}$ is a $1$-Lipschitz retraction onto the ideal models, and $P_\theta [p]_{\mathcal I}$ is the unique ideal model nearest to $p$. There are $a_ j\in \mathcal A_+(Y,\theta )$ with $d_\theta (u,a_ j)\to 0$ if and only if $P_\theta [u]=P_\theta [u]_{\mathcal I}$.
Proof.
The ideal envelope of $u$ is $q_{D_ u}$, by lemma 20.3.20. For any positive atomic measure $E$ of mass at most $A$, the nonatomic measure $\sigma _ u$ and the signed atomic measure $D_ u-E$ are mutually singular. Thus (13.28.5) gives

13.28.13
\begin{equation} d_\theta (u,q_ E)=\tau (u)+\| D_ u-E\| _{\mathrm{TV}}. \end{equation}
Among ideal models, the minimum is attained exactly at $E=D_ u$. Since the analytic models of positive mass are dense among the ideal models (corollary 13.28.7), this gives (13.28.12). Taking the atomic part does not increase total variation, which proves the Lipschitz assertion. Finally, lemma 13.28.1 shows that $P_\theta [u]=p_{\mu _ u}$ equals $q_{D_ u}=p_{D_ u}$ if and only if $\mu _ u=D_ u$, that is, $\tau (u)=0$.
