Minimality at the confinement scale, and the level sets of the random scale #
The confinement scale m_t is the least scale n with L (1 + S_n) ≤ 3^n.
Its defining inequality bounds the widened scale from above; what bounds the
confinement scale itself from above is minimality, the failure of the same
inequality one scale lower. This file turns that failure into a usable
estimate and then into a bound on the probability of each level set of the
random scale.
The first step is the recursion
S_{n-1} ≤ S_{n-1} + (1/9) S_n,
which holds because the widening weight 3^{-2(k-n)} loses exactly a factor of
nine when the base scale drops by one. Combining it with the defining
inequality at m_t itself, which bounds L S_{m_t} by 3^{m_t}, the failure
one scale lower reads
3^{m_t - 1} < L (1 + S_{m_t-1} + (1/9) S_{m_t}) ≤ L (1 + S_{m_t-1}) + (1/9) 3^{m_t},
and hence 3^{m_t} ≤ (9/2) L (1 + S_{m_t-1}): the confinement scale is
controlled by a single displacement scale, not by the widened supremum.
The scale index is random, so this is not yet a moment bound. What it gives is
a bound on the probability of the level set {m_t = n}: on that event a single
displacement scale is at least (2/27) 3^{n - m_0} - 1, where 3^{m_0} ≤ L is
the deterministic lower bound for the scale, and Chebyshev's inequality at a
uniform moment of the displacement scales turns this into a geometric decay in
n - m_0. That decay is what makes the moments of 3^{m_t} and of any family
indexed by the random scale summable.

1. The recursion for the widened scale #
The widening recursion. Lowering the base scale by one adds the scale at the new index and divides the previous widened scale by nine.
2. Minimality #
Minimality at the confinement scale. Since the scale one below the
confinement scale fails the defining inequality, and the widening recursion
reduces the widened scale there to the single scale S_{m-1} plus a ninth of the
widened scale at m, the confinement scale obeys
3^m ≤ (9/2) L (1 + S_{m-1}).
3. Measurability of the confinement scale #
The defining set of the confinement scale is measurable at every fixed scale.
4. The level sets of the confinement scale #
The deterministic lower bound for the confinement scale.
The probability of a level set of the confinement scale. Writing the
scale as m_0 + k with 3^{m_0} ≤ L < 3^{m_0+1}, on the event {m_t = m_0 + k}
a single displacement scale is at least 3^{k-3}, so a uniform moment bound of
order q for the displacement scales gives a geometric bound of ratio 3^{-q}
for the probability of the event.
5. The measurable choice of the confinement scale #
The confinement scale as a function of the sample. Where a confinement
scale exists it is unique, and this is that scale; where none exists the value
is 0.
The value off the existence event is immaterial. Every statement below about
confinementScale is either conditioned on the existence of a confinement scale
at the sample or holds almost surely, and the existence event has full measure
whenever the displacement scales have one uniform moment bound
(ae_exists_isConfinementScale); nothing in this development reads the value on
its complement.

Instances For
Where a confinement scale exists, the chosen value is one.
The chosen value is the confinement scale, wherever there is one.
Where no confinement scale exists the chosen value is 0.
The chosen confinement scale is measurable. Each level set is the event
that the scale is admissible intersected with countably many complements, and
the level set at 0 carries in addition the event that no scale is
admissible.
The chosen confinement scale is almost surely a confinement scale. One uniform moment bound for the displacement scales makes the defining set almost surely nonempty, and the infimum is then attained.
