Theorem osumi

Description: If two closed subspaces of a Hilbert space are orthogonal, their subspace sum equals their subspace join. Lemma 3 of Kalmbach p. 67. Note that the (countable) Axiom of Choice is used for this proof via pjhth , although "the hard part" of this proof, chscl , requires no choice.
