Conditionally i.i.d. families #
The conditional strengthening of the mixture identity: a family is conditionally i.i.d.
with directing measure ν when, along every finite selection of distinct coordinates, the
joint law of (ν, block) is the disintegration ∫ δ_{ν ω} ⊗ (ν ω)^{⊗m} dμ(ω) — conditionally
on ν, the block is i.i.d. ν (Kallenberg 2005, §1.1 eq. (2)). The definition also requires
every coordinate to be μ-a.e. measurable and ν itself to be measurable.
Stating it as a joint-law identity means the definition needs no conditional expectations, and
sits in the same bind/pi vocabulary as MixedIIDWith.
Why this is stronger than MixedIIDWith #
MixedIIDWith μ X ν constrains only each block's marginal law. It therefore does not pin down
how X relates to ν: for a nondegenerate mixing law, an independent copy of a directing
measure also witnesses MixedIIDWith, while the process is not conditionally i.i.d. given that
copy. The arrow runs one way only, and mixedIIDWith_of_conditionallyIIDWith is that arrow —
obtained by integrating the ν coordinate out.
Terminology follows the roadmap: a ν witnessing only the mixture identity is a mixing
representative, whereas ν here is a genuine directing measure.
Main results #
ConditionallyIIDWith,ConditionallyIID— the index-generic predicate and its existential wrapper, with their constructor, accessor, simp-normal-form, and injective-reindexing API.mixedIIDWith_of_conditionallyIIDWith,mixedIID_of_conditionallyIID— the easy projection down to the mixture identity. Both predicates are index-generic, so the projection is too.
This is a Layer 0 contribution to TauCetiRoadmap/Exchangeability/README.md — the conditional
predicate for which the roadmap reserves the ConditionallyIID name, together with the easy
projection it pins alongside — which rests on the Layer 1 joint-kernel lemma
measurable_dirac_prod_probabilityMeasure_pi_const_toMeasure.
The Layer 1 joint-rectangle common ending conditionallyIID_of_jointRectangles lives in
TauCeti.Probability.DeFinetti.ConditionalCommonEnding. The Layer 6 summit theorems that conclude
this predicate, together with the deFinetti* equivalence handles, live in
TauCeti.Probability.DeFinetti.Theorem. A.e. uniqueness of the directing measure
(conditionallyIID_ae_unique) lives in
TauCeti.Probability.Exchangeability.ConditionallyIID.Unique.
Conditional i.i.d.-ness with a specified directing measure ν: the coordinates are a.e.
measurable, the random measure ν is measurable, and along every finite selection k of
distinct coordinates the joint law of (ν, block) is the ν-disintegration
∫ δ_{ν ω} ⊗ (ν ω)^{⊗m} dμ(ω).
Constraining the joint law, rather than just the block's marginal, is exactly what makes this the
conditional statement: see MixedIIDWith for the marginal-only version and
mixedIIDWith_of_conditionallyIIDWith for the arrow between them.
Coordinatewise a.e. measurability is part of the definition because Measure.map sends a
function that is not a.e. measurable to a junk Dirac mass, so the joint-law identity alone
cannot see measurability; compare ProbabilityTheory.HasLaw in Mathlib.

A ConditionallyIID family has a directing measure.
Conditional i.i.d.-ness with a named directing measure is preserved by reindexing along an injection. The directing measure is unchanged.
Conditional i.i.d.-ness is preserved by reindexing along an injection.
The easy arrow. A directing measure is in particular a mixing representative: the mixture
identity is the joint disintegration with the ν coordinate integrated out.
Taking the second marginal of both sides does exactly that. On the left, Measure.snd_map_prodMk₀
discards the ν coordinate needing only measurability of ν itself, which the predicate
supplies. On the right, naturality of bind pushes the marginal inside the mixture, where each
δ_{ν ω} factor integrates away.
The existential form of the easy arrow.
A conditionally i.i.d. family has a.e.-measurable coordinates, so no separate coordinate measurability hypothesis is needed.
