Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A \subset B(H)$ be a von Neumann algebra, and $P \in \text{Proj}(A)$, then $P$ is \textbf{minimal} if $PAP$ is abelian.

\begin{enumerate}
\item[($\vnI$)] Let $P_1 = P'_{\vnI}(I - P_{\vnI})$, then by construction of $P_{\vnI}$, there exists no non-zero abelian projection $R \in \text{Proj}(A)$ with $R \le P_1$. As both $P_{\vnI}'$ and $(I - P_{\vnI})$ are central, $P_1 \in A_{\vnI}'$, so $P_1 = 0$ because $A_{\vnI}'$ is of type $\vnI$. Thus $P_{\vnI}' \ge P_{\vnI}$. By symmetry, $P_{\vnI} = P_{\vnI}'$ and $A_{\vnI} = A_{\vnI}'$.
\item[($\vnII$, $\vnIII$)] Let $P'_{\vnII} = P_{\vnII_1} \oplus P_{\vnII_\infty}$ and $P_2 = P'_{\vnII}(I - P_{\vnI} - P_{\vnII})$. By construction of $P_{\vnII}$, there exists no non-zero finite projection $R \in \text{Proj}(A)$ with $R \le P_2$. Since $P_2 \in A_{\vnII}'$ and $A_{\vnII}'$ is of type $\vnII$, $P_2 = 0$ and $P_{\vnII}' \ge P_{\vnII}$. By symmetry, $P_{\vnII} = P_{\vnII}'$. Thus $P_{\vnIII} = P_{\vnIII}'$, $A_{\vnII} = A_{\vnII}'$, and $A_{\vnIII} = A_{\vnIII}'$.
\item[($\vnII_1$, $\vnII_\infty$)] Let $Q_2 = P'_{\vnII_1}(P_{\vnII} - P_{\vnII_1})$, then there exists no non-zero finite central projection $R \in \text{Proj}(A)$ with $R \le Q_2$. However, since $P'_{\vnII_1}$ is itself a central projection, every subprojection of $P'_{\vnII_1}$ is finite by (4) of \autoref{lemma:projection-types-gymnastics}, so $Q_2 = 0$, and $P_{\vnII_1}' \ge P_{\vnII_1}$. By symmetry, $P_{\vnII_1}' = P_{\vnII_1}$. Therefore $P_{\vnII_\infty} = P_{\vnII_\infty}$, $A_{\vnII_1}' = A_{\vnII_1}$, and $A_{\vnII_\infty}' = A_{\vnII_\infty}$.
\item[($\vnI$)] Let $P_1 = P'_{\vnI}(I - P_{\vnI})$, then by construction of $P_{\vnI}$, there exists no non-zero abelian projection $R \in \text{Proj}(A)$ with $R \le P_1$.

By symmetry, $P_{\vnI} = P_{\vnI}'$ and $A_{\vnI} = A_{\vnI}'$.

By construction of $P_{\vnII}$, there exists no non-zero finite projection $R \in \text{Proj}(A)$ with $R \le P_2$. Since $P_2 \in A_{\vnII}'$ and $A_{\vnII}'$ is of type $\vnII$, $P_2 = 0$ and $P_{\vnII}' \le P_{\vnII}$. By symmetry, $P_{\vnII} = P_{\vnII}'$. Thus $P_{\vnIII} = P_{\vnIII}'$, $A_{\vnII} = A_{\vnII}'$, and $A_{\vnIII} = A_{\vnIII}'$.
\item[($\vnII_1$, $\vnII_\infty$)] Let $Q_2 = P'_{\vnII_1}(P_{\vnII} - P_{\vnII_1})$, then there exists no non-zero finite central projection $R \in \text{Proj}(A)$ with $R \le Q_2$.
