Let LLL be a complete lattice and R:L→RR : L \to \mathbb{R}R:L→R a valuation (nonnegative, monotone, modular, R(⊤)=1R(\top) = 1R(⊤)=1, R(⊥)=0R(\bot) = 0R(⊥)=0). Let (Xi)i∈I(X_i)_{i \in I}(Xi​)i∈I​ be a family in LLL indexed by an arbitrary set III, and let Γ(i)⊆I\Gamma(i) \subseteq IΓ(i)⊆I be finite sets forming a dependency graph: for every iii and every finite S⊆IS \subseteq IS⊆I with i∉Si \notin Si∈/S and S∩Γ(i)=∅S \cap \Gamma(i) = \emptysetS∩Γ(i)=∅, R(Xi∧⋀j∈SXj)=R(Xi) R(⋀j∈SXj)R\big(X_i \wedge \bigwedge_{j \in S} X_j\big) = R(X_i)\,R\big(\bigwedge_{j \in S} X_j\big)R(Xi​∧⋀j∈S​Xj​)=R(Xi​)R(⋀j∈S​Xj​). Let 0≤yi<10 \le y_i < 10≤yi​<1 with R(Xi)≥1−yi∏j∈Γ(i)(1−yj)R(X_i) \ge 1 - y_i \prod_{j \in \Gamma(i)} (1 - y_j)R(Xi​)≥1−yi​∏j∈Γ(i)​(1−yj​) for every iii, and let ccc be a real number with c≤∏j∈S(1−yj)c \le \prod_{j \in S}(1 - y_j)c≤∏j∈S​(1−yj​) for every finite S⊆IS \subseteq IS⊆I. Assume RRR is continuous from above in the following sense: whenever b≤R(⋀j∈SXj)b \le R\big(\bigwedge_{j \in S} X_j\big)b≤R(⋀j∈S​Xj​) for every finite S⊆IS \subseteq IS⊆I, also b≤R(⋀i∈IXi)b \le R\big(\bigwedge_{i \in I} X_i\big)b≤R(⋀i∈I​Xi​).

Then

c ≤ R(⋀i∈IXi).c \ \le\ R\Big(\bigwedge_{i \in I} X_i\Big).c ≤ R(i∈I⋀​Xi​).

This extends Theorem 14 of Ambainis, Kempe and Sattath to infinite families. The continuity hypothesis is exactly what is needed: it holds for a normal trace, but fails for relative dimension in infinite dimension, where nonzero subspaces can have all finite intersections nonzero and zero total intersection.
