Convergence in measure of graphon samples #
The finite sampling laws of a graphon are the marginals of one infinite random graph. Applying the
finite-graph graphon construction to its growing windows gives a sequence of points in the
unit-interval cut-distance quotient GraphonSpaceI. The second sampling lemma says that this
sequence converges in measure to the original graphon's class. The generating graphon may live on
any probability carrier: its class is taken in GraphonSpaceI through the isometric embedding
toGraphonSpaceI. The joint-law formulation allows the same random graph to be used at every
window size.

Under the joint sampling law of a graphon W on any probability carrier, the graphon classes
of the finite windows converge in measure, in GraphonSpaceI, to the image of the class of W
under the isometric embedding toGraphonSpaceI. The window has n + 1 vertices, so the
construction also covers the first term without a nonempty-carrier convention.
Under the joint sampling law of a unit-interval graphon, the graphon classes of the finite windows converge in measure to the class of the generating graphon.
