Derived signs of infinite traces (Lemma D) #
Let ν satisfy J over M, and let y ∉ M have infinitely many neighbours in M.
Enumerate infinitely many of them as a 0, a 1, …. Stars from y to finite sets of
neighbours are patterns over M, so the expected minority count of the signs on any
finite set of neighbours is at most C. Hence almost surely one sign occurs only finitely
often along a; the other is the derived sign s, a measurable function of the
coordinates a n. For every finite set B of neighbours, the stars on B together with
a 0, …, a (L - 1) cost at least the disagreements with s on B once the derived sign
has recurred often enough along a, so monotone convergence in L bounds
∑ u ∈ B, ν (σ u ≠ s) by C.
A star from y ∉ M to finitely many of its neighbours in M is a pattern over M.
An infinite set of naturals meets some initial segment in at least K elements.
The count of a property along an initial segment is monotone in its length.
The number of indices with a measurable property is a measurable function.
The expected number of indices with a measurable property is the sum of their probabilities.
Lemma D: a vertex with infinitely many neighbours in M has a derived sign s,
determined by the signs along an enumeration a of some of those neighbours, from which
almost surely only finitely many signs along a differ, and whose expected disagreement
with the signs of the neighbours sums to at most C.
