Here, the CNOT operation appears for the following reason. Each Pauli measurement that doesn't include the
744-
matrix is equivalent up to a unitary to
745-
by the earlier reasoning. The eigenvalues of
746-
only depend on the parity of the qubits that comprise each computational basis vector, and the controlled-not operations serve to compute this parity and store it in the first bit. Then once the first bit is measured, you can recover the identity of the resultant half-space, which is equivalent to measuring the Pauli operator.
