De Finetti's theorem via L² averaging #
This file is the endpoint of the martingale-free L² route to de Finetti's theorem. The route's
substantive conclusion,
Contractable.conditionallyIIDWith_directingProbabilityMeasure, names the tail-conditional
directing measure and proves the joint-law disintegration of every finite block. Here that named
witness is packaged into ConditionallyIID, and the standard exchangeable and equivalence forms
are derived from the elementary implication lattice.
The suffix _viaL2 records the proof route. The corresponding unsuffixed public theorems in
TauCeti.Probability.DeFinetti.Theorem use the reverse-martingale route and are deliberately not
imported here. Thus importing this module gives a complete de Finetti theorem without importing
reverse-martingale convergence or the unsuffixed summit.
Main results #
conditionallyIID_of_contractable_viaL2— a contractable process is conditionally i.i.d.;deFinetti_viaL2— an exchangeable process is conditionally i.i.d.;deFinetti_RyllNardzewski_equivalence_viaL2— contractability is equivalent to the conjunction of exchangeability and conditional i.i.d.-ness.
These route wrappers are the final target of Layer 3 of
TauCetiRoadmap/Exchangeability/README.md. They are not adapted from the legacy theorem wrappers in
cameronfreer/exchangeability: those wrappers conclude only the mixture identity, whereas the
results here package Tau Ceti's stronger joint-law disintegration.
