Exchangeable laws are stationary #
This file records the Layer 0 stationarity bridge from the Exchangeability roadmap: a finitely
exchangeable process has a shift-invariant path law. The existing implication
Exchangeable.contractable gives the exchangeability-to-contractability bridge. The lemmas here
first expose the shift-stationarity consequences at the natural Contractable level, then provide
thin Exchangeable-named wrappers for downstream code that starts from exchangeability.
The bridge is stated for the one-sided shift and its iterates. The final processShift form
packages the same invariance at the process-law level.
Every iterate of the one-sided shift preserves the path law of a contractable process.
Iterating the one-sided shift leaves the path law of a contractable process unchanged.
Setwise stationarity for every shift iterate of a contractable process.
The law of the n-step shifted process of a contractable process is the original path law.
Prefix laws are unchanged after shifting a contractable process by any finite amount.
