Dissociated exchangeable graph laws as dissociated relational laws #
An exchangeable graph law is dissociated (ExchangeableGraphLaw.IsDissociated) when the random
graphs it induces on disjoint label windows are independent; an exchangeable relational law is
dissociated (TauCeti.Probability.ExchangeableRelationalLaw.IsDissociated) when the random
configurations it induces on disjoint vertex windows are. Encoding simple graphs as configurations
of the language of graphs commutes with restriction to a window, and the encoding is a measurable
embedding, so it neither creates nor destroys independence: a graph law is dissociated exactly when
its relational law is.
Combined with the extremality of graphon sampling laws among exchangeable graph laws
(exists_graphon_of_isDissociated), this identifies the dissociated exchangeable relational laws
of the language of graphs concentrated on simple graphs: they are exactly the relational laws of
graphon sampling laws.

A graph law is dissociated exactly when its relational law is: encoding graphs as configurations of the language of graphs neither creates nor destroys independence of disjoint windows.
Dissociated relational laws of graphs are graphon sampling laws. An exchangeable relational
law of the language of graphs whose marginals are concentrated on simple graphs is dissociated
exactly when it is the relational law of the sampling law of a graphon, which may be taken on any
atomless standard Borel carrier (Ω, μ), such as the unit interval.
