\item $\mathscr{E} = [l^1(I); L^1(\mu_i; \complex)]$ and $\mathscr{E}^* = [l^\infty(I); L^\infty(\mu_i; \complex)]$.

so $\Gamma_AS \cdot \ol{\Gamma_AT}dE_{\xi_i, \xi_i} = dE_{S\xi_i, T\xi_i} \ll \mu_i$. By (1) of \autoref{lemma:spectral-measure-properties} and completeness of $L^1(\mu; \complex)$, $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}}$ is absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu_i$. Therefore for any $C \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$, $\mu_i(C) = 0$ if and only if $E_{x, y}(C) = 0$ for all $x, y \in \ol{A \xi_i}$.

\]
because $\ol{A\xi_i} \perp \ol{A\xi_j}$, so $E_{x, y} = 0$. In particular, $\seqi{\mu}$ is a mutually singular family of measures, and $[l^1(I); L^1(\mu_i; \complex)]$ may be identified as a subspace of $M_R(\Omega(A); \complex)$.

so $\mathscr{E} \subset S([l^1(I); L^1(\mu_i; \complex)])$.
On the other hand, for each $i \in I$, since $\mu_i$ is a Radon measure, $C(\Omega(A); \complex)$ is dense in $L^1(\mu_i; \complex)$ by \autoref{proposition:radon-cc-dense}. As
\[
\mathscr{E} \supset \bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}} \supset \bracsn{fdE_{\xi_i, \xi_i}|f \in C(\Omega(A); \complex)} = \bracsn{fd\mu_i|f \in C(\Omega(A); \complex)}
\]
\begin{align*}
\mathscr{E} &\supset \bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in \ol{A\xi_i}} \supset \bracsn{fdE_{\xi_i, \xi_i}|f \in C(\Omega(A); \complex)} \\
&= \bracsn{fd\mu_i|f \in C(\Omega(A); \complex)}
\end{align*}
and $\mathscr{E} \subset M_R(\Omega(A); \complex)$ is closed, $\mathscr{E} \supset \bracsn{f d\mu_i|f \in L^1(\mu_i; \complex)}$.
Finally, given that the above holds for all $i \in I$, $\mathscr{E} = [l^1(I); L^1(\mu_i; \complex)]$. By \autoref{theorem:lp-sum-dual}, $[l^\infty(I); L^\infty(\mu_i; \complex)] = \mathscr{E}^*$.

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A \subset B(H)$ be a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra with $I \in A$, $B$ be the von Neumann algebra generated by $A$, $E: \cb_{\Omega(A)} \to B(H)$ be the spectral measure associated with $A$, and $\mathscr{E} \subset M_R(\Omega(A); \complex)$ be the closed subspace generated by $\bracsn{E_{x, y}|x, y \in H}$.
By \hyperref[Spectral Theorem II]{theorem:spectral-theorem-vn-2}, there exists a decomposable measure space $\Omega$, corresponding to a number of copies of $\Omega(A)$, such that $\mathscr{E}$ is a quotient of its $L^1$ space, $\mathscr{E}^*$ is a subspace of its $L^\infty$ space, and $H$ is isomorphic to its $L^2$ space. The preceding isomorphisms are all linked by a unitary equvalence between $B$ acting on $H$, and $\mathscr{E}^*$ acting on the $l^2$ direct sum.
The complexity of $\Omega$, that is, the number of copies of $\Omega(A)$ that it contains, depends on two factors:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The complexity of the von Neumann algebra $B$: If $B$ is sufficiently complex, then $\mathscr{E}$ cannot be expressed as the $L^1$ space of a single measure on $\Omega(A)$. Instead, multiple copies of $\Omega(A)$ are needed to handle mutually singular measures with overlapping supports. For more details on this phenomenon, see \autoref{theorem:hilbert-measures-dual}.
\item The size of the Hilbert space $H$ in comparision with $B$: If $H$ is extremely large, then a large number of vectors are required for $B$ to cover it. As such, many copies of $\Omega(A)$ are required to handle the complexity of $H$.
\end{enumerate}
More concretely, (1) manifests concretely as the size of the space $\mathscr{E}$, and (2) manifests as the size of the kernel of the mapping $L^1(\Omega) \to \mathscr{E}$.
By limiting these two sources of complexity, it is possible to remove the need of multiple copies of $\Omega(A)$. In particular,
\begin{enumerate}
\item If $B$ admits a cyclic vector, then only one copy of $\Omega(A)$ is required for the construction in the Spectral Theorem \cite[Theorem 23.1]{Zhu}.
\item If $H$ is separable, then at most countably many copies of $\Omega(A)$ are required for the construction in the Spectral Theorem. In which case, the measures can be summed to reduce the requirement to just one copy \cite[Page 24]{FollandHarmonic} \cite[Theorem 23.2]{Zhu}.
