The modified Monte Carlo argument from canonical target to finite rigid-sphere evidence—without turning asymptotic sampling into molecular dynamics or a thermodynamic-limit theorem

Physical resultA finite periodic classical particle cell with spherical two-body interactions and rapidly falling potential uses the minimum periodic image contribution, represents the selected one-phase substance, and reduces surface effects. For velocity-independent forces, the canonical average reduces to a Boltzmann-weighted configuration integral. Uniform configuration sampling followed by weighting is impractical in dense systems, motivating a positive-width symmetric one-particle displacement update with periodic wraparound, successive particle attempts, finite-probability allowed moves, and an explicit selected-update/proposal link: the disjoint conditions DeltaE < 0 and 0 < DeltaE trigger downhill acceptance and uphill acceptance with probability exp(-DeltaE/kT), rejected moves retain the old configuration, and every attempt counts as a sample. The supplied forward/reverse flux calculation establishes detailed balance, while a separate repeated-local-move argument consumes the finite periodic model and complete move protocol to supply configuration accessibility. Together with an equilibration calculation and ensemble interpretation, these yield asymptotic canonical sampling. For rigid spheres the rule becomes acceptance of nonoverlapping moves and rejection of overlaps. The pressure route retains the selected real-valued Clausius virial, mean-contact-force, internal-virial, and pressure equations (7)-(10), rather than only a named virial bridge; finite runs with discarded transients, radial-distribution extrapolation, model comparisons, and roughly three-percent statistical error provide qualified equation-of-state evidence. No finite convergence rate, physical-dynamics interpretation, exact thermodynamic-limit equation of state, or finite-size systematic control is established.

structurePaper-local interpretation of an asymptotic equilibrium-sampling model. The shared convergence route does not determine which physical theory uses the update, which sampling process it represents, or what equilibrium production means in that theory and world.
structureProof-free data and relation families selected by one equilibrium-sampling route. No field supplies a proof of validity, target selection, balance, accessibility, equilibration, or equilibrium production. The selected finite-run predicate remains outside this model because neither shared route establishes it.

definitionThe complete inhabited asymptotic equilibrium-sampling route, stated directly at one model. Every setup relation, repeated-update convergence claim, and equilibrium-production interpretation holds at the same selected description, regime, update, and ensemble.

definition
definition
definitionEvery claim in the supplied identifier list holds.
definitionA source-mapped step is semantically sound when the interpreted premises imply the interpreted conclusion. Physical principles and imported calculations therefore remain explicit hypotheses of paper-specific certificates rather than acquiring truth from their source-map labels. A reductio hypothesis is different: it introduces a temporary assumption into a subargument and therefore is not required to hold globally. Its later uses remain ordinary premise-sensitive steps, and discharging it into a negated conclusion remains an ordinary semantic obligation.

definition

definition
definitionA typed countermodel matrix avoids string-keyed audit rows. Each index selects one proposition-valued separation obligation.
definition
definitionEvery route actually declared in the source map has a semantic certificate under the paper-local interpretation.
definition
definition
definitionOne countermodel row retains a weaker proposition while rejecting a stronger upgrade. This is a proposition, not a structure carrying proof fields.
definition
definition
definitionIndependent dependency and epistemic ledgers must review the same actual source claims, including every public conclusion and the selected paper conclusion. Empty, duplicated, nonexistent, or one-sided entries are invalid.
definitionEvery actually declared source route must have exactly one independently reviewed predecessor row. Correct rows for a selected subset are insufficient.
definitionThe declared main conclusion must be exposed by at least one public route output, rather than existing only as an unexported source-map claim.
definition
definition
definitionTwo finite lists describe the same dependency set. Duplicate expected entries are rejected so a ledger cannot pass by repeating a label.
definitionEvery paper-level, claim-level, and step-level source reference is present and has a nonempty work and locator. PaperArgument.auditable separately checks that every claim and step carries at least one source.
definitionA source reference is usable for review only when both the work and its locator are nonempty.
definitionStatic fidelity checks that can be evaluated from a paper's source map alone. They do not assert the truth of any physical premise.
definitionEvery declared output of a named source route holds under the semantic interpretation. This is the proof obligation discharged by paper-specific Lean theorems.
definition
definitionA route is fully certified only when both its individual steps and its declared outputs are semantically checked.
definitionEvery source-mapped inference step in a named route is semantically sound.
definitionEvery route named in the supplied identifier list is semantically certified.

definitionJournal p. 1089, equation (7): the total Clausius virial equals the boundary pressure term plus the internal-force virial and also equals twice the total kinetic energy. The displayed `E_kin = N m vbar^2 / 2` relation is retained with the same selected values.
definitionJournal p. 1090, equation (10): substituting the internal virial into the Clausius identity gives the rigid-sphere equation of state in both the kinetic-energy and `NkT__ forms.

Every statement below comes only from Metropolis1953.lean, SourceMap.lean, and Coverage.lean. Multidimensional integrals, the naive close-packing argument, balance fluxes, finite-cell accessibility, convergence, contact extrapolation, and numerical runs remain named proposition-valued inputs. Their implication-valued calculation and interpretation contracts are supplied independently, then result steps apply them to the selected setups and certified predecessor outputs. The virial branch is more explicit: RigidSphereVirialFormulaReadout stores selected real values and SourceFormulaAt conjoins the physical domain with equations (7)-(10). Dependent routes recover the finite-model, canonical-target, update, sampling, rigid-sphere, virial-formula, virial-result, and finite-evidence propositions from certified predecessor outputs before using them. The accept/reject step likewise computes the proposed real-valued energy difference, keeps downhill and uphill as conditional branches, and uses uphillBoltzmannProbabilityFormulaAt to equate the uphill acceptance probability with exp(-DeltaE/kT).
01
The algorithmic proof and the rigid-sphere equation-of-state calculation branch after the update
The route graph begins with the finite periodic model and canonical target, then constructs the modified update. The naive close-packing argument is a separate calculation whose output is the impracticality assessment. One branch proves asymptotic canonical sampling from balance, accessibility, equilibration, and interpretation. Another specializes the certified update to rigid spheres and imports a virial pressure calculation. The finite numerical route consumes both certified branches. A final independent scope assessment is conjoined with the extracted sampling and numerical-evidence outputs.

02
A periodic finite cell represents one phase and reduces the canonical target to configurations
The selected description assumes classical statistics, finitely many particles, spherical two-body interactions, and a potential that falls off rapidly with distance. Periodic replicas reduce surface effects and model a selected one-phase substance; the rapid falloff separately licenses keeping only the minimum periodic image contribution.
finite classical particle cell
+ spherical two-body interactions
+ rapidly falling potential
+ periodic replicas
⇒ reduced surface effects, minimum-image sufficiency,
and representation of the selected one-phase substance.
FinitePeriodicModelResult; journal p. 1087(1)
Periodic replication alone does not perform that energy reduction:
periodic_replica_construction_does_not_supply_minimum_image_reduction
gives a direct countermodel. The checked retention theorem
finite_periodic_model_retains_minimum_image_scope
keeps the minimum-image conclusion in the finite model consumed by
downstream routes.
For velocity-independent forces, the momentum variables separate from the canonical average. The desired observable is therefore represented by a Boltzmann-weighted configuration-space integral.
canonical equilibrium target
+ velocity-independent forces
⇒ momentum integrals separate
and the observable average reduces to configuration space.
CanonicalTargetResult; Eq. (2)(2)
Uniformly choosing configurations and applying Boltzmann weights afterward is assessed separately. Near close packing, most uniformly drawn configurations have negligible weight, making the naive scheme impractical.
03
The modified update samples locally and counts rejected states
A selected particle is displaced by a positive-width symmetric local proposal with periodic wraparound. The selected update implements that proposal, attempts particles successively, and gives each allowed local move finite probability. The acceptance calculation computes the proposed energy difference and keeps the lowering and raising cases as disjoint conditional branches; the counting rule preserves the old configuration after rejection.
DeltaE < 0: accept;
0 < DeltaE: accept with probability exp(-DeltaE/kT), with kT > 0;
rejection: retain the old configuration;
every attempted move counts as the next sample.
MetropolisUpdateResult; Eqs. (3)–(4)(3)
The two energy branches are not simultaneous facts about one proposal. downhill_and_uphill_energy_branches_are_disjoint proves their incompatibility, while uphill_boltzmann_formula_gives_probability_strictly_between_zero_and_one derives the expected probability range from positive DeltaE and positive kT. The proposal protocol and the last two clauses are part of the mathematical update, not bookkeeping trivia: rejected configurations contribute the required residence time in high-probability regions.
04
Pairwise balance and configuration accessibility are independent premises
Equations (5)–(6) compare actual positive forward and reverse ensemble fluxes. For admissible configurations connected by equal proposal probabilities, the normalized equation-(2) canonical weights combine with T_rs = P_rs exp(-ΔE/kT) and T_sr = P_sr to give p_r T_rs = p_s T_sr. A separate calculation argues that repeated finite-probability local displacements, using the positive window, periodic wraparound, and successive attempts inside the certified finite periodic cell, can reach every configuration.
canonical_equation_two_and_transition_formulas_balance_population_flux derives this equation from the actual Boltzmann factors, while established_metropolis_balance_retains_population_flux_equation and canonical_sampling_retains_population_flux_equation preserve it through the complete route. Neither balance nor accessibility contains the other. The formal countermodels show that proposal symmetry need not imply detailed balance, that discarding rejected attempts or using noncanonical populations destroys the directional equality, that detailed balance need not imply accessibility, and that a bare local proposal does not supply positive width, periodic wraparound, finite move probability, or successive particle attempts.
An additional equilibration calculation turns balance plus accessibility into approach to the canonical distribution. The ensemble interpretation then says that this limiting distribution is canonical equilibrium sampling.
canonical target
+ detailed balance
+ accessibility
+ asymptotic equilibration
+ ensemble interpretation
⇒ repeated updates produce the canonical ensemble
while retaining p_r T_rs = p_s T_sr.
CanonicalSamplingResult; journal p. 1089(5)
This is an asymptotic sampling result. It supplies neither a finite rate nor physical molecular dynamics.
FiniteMetropolisRun replaces assigned bias values with an actual finite accept/reject process. Energies 0 and log(3) at kT=1 have canonical probabilities 3/4 and 1/4. The symmetric proposal q gives uphill transition q/3, downhill transition q, and a diagonal term that counts rejected attempts. actual_metropolis_branches_retain_rejected_attempts and target_is_the_actual_boltzmann_distribution check these relations.
mun(i) = pi(i) + (1-4q/3)n[mu0(i)-pi(i)],
mun(i) → pi(i).
The actual finite-state kernel; positive q at most 3/4.
the_actual_sampling_distribution_converges proves the limit, while no_fixed_run_length_uniformly_removes_the_actual_bias chooses q=3/[8(n+1)] and proves bias at least 1/8 at the prescribed length n. Every transition remains positive. The 64-attempt fidelity boundary therefore fails tolerance 1/100 using the computed distribution, not independently assigned errors. This is a finite mechanism diagnostic for the report's pp. 7-8 argument, not the historical rigid-disk run.
05
Hard-core energy turns the general rule into overlap rejection
For rigid spheres, a proposed energy change is zero or infinite. The acceptance game therefore simplifies completely.
The pressure route then applies the virial theorem and estimates the surface contact density. The imported physical step is not represented merely by the words “virial pressure”: its selected values retain the displayed Clausius, contact-force, internal-virial, and pressure equations.
sum_i X_i^(tot) dot r_i = 2 P A + sum_i X_i^(int) dot r_i = 2 E_kin,
E_kin = N m vbar^2 / 2,
Fbar_i = m vbar^2 pi d_0 nbar,
sum_i X_i^(int) dot r_i = -(N m vbar^2 / 2) pi d_0^2 nbar,
P A = E_kin (1 + pi d_0^2 nbar / 2)
= N k T (1 + pi d_0^2 nbar / 2).
RigidSphereVirialSourceFormulaAt; journal pp. 1089-1090, Eqs. (7)-(10)(7)
RigidSphereVirialFormulaReadout.SourceFormulaAt conjoins the positive physical domain with all four displayed equations, and virial_pressure_calculation_retains_source_formula makes that conjunction an explicit route output. Under positive particle count, thermal energy, diameter, and contact density, equation_ten_makes_pressure_area_exceed_ideal_gas_term checks the nonzero hard-sphere correction N k T < P A. The countermodel named_virial_pressure_calculation_does_not_supply_source_formulas blocks a bare calculation label from manufacturing these equations.
06
Finite MANIAC cycles provide a pressure curve with statistical, not finite-size, control
The numerical setup uses the canonical sampler and virial pressure relation, discards an initial transient, and accumulates finitely many cycles at each density. The radial distribution is extrapolated to contact and compared with free-volume and virial-expansion curves.
discarded transient
+ finite sampled cycles
+ contact extrapolation
+ comparison with two equation-of-state models
⇒ finite rigid-sphere pressure evidence with roughly 3% statistical error.
FiniteEquationOfStateEvidence; journal p. 1091(8)
The statistical-error assessment does not control finite-size systematics, and finite evidence does not establish the exact thermodynamic-limit equation of state. Both non-implications are formalized.
Open computational-evidence theoremselected checks + finite-size obligation
The finite cycles realize scoped support under the selected transient, statistical, and comparison checks, while finite-size systematic control remains a relevant unpassed check and the thermodynamic-limit claim is not mathematically certified.

07
The qualified conclusion keeps four limitations inside the theorem statement
The final route conjoins the canonical sampling result, finite equation-of-state evidence, and a scope assessment. It does not merely append caveats in prose.
asymptotic canonical sampling
+ finite equation-of-state evidence,
but no established finite convergence rate,
no identification with physical molecular dynamics,
no exact thermodynamic-limit equation of state,
and no controlled finite-size systematic.
QualifiedConclusion; formal main conclusion(9)
The periodic model also retains one-phase scope: reduced surface effects do not make it a representation of phase coexistence.
08
The canonical branch realizes equilibrium sampling while the finite branch retains open evidence
The shared adapter selects the finite periodic description, finite-model regime, modified update, and canonical ensemble. Its setup requires validity, the equilibrium target, detailed balance, and accessibility. The paper's equilibration calculation and interpretation bridge then establish equilibrium sampling.
The typed provenance route begins before the packaged canonical and balance results. It reconstructs the finite-periodic and canonical reductions, symmetric positive-width proposal, disjoint conditional DeltaE branches, explicit exp(-DeltaE/kT) uphill acceptance, repeated rejected configurations, reachability, pairwise population flow, asymptotic equilibration, and canonical interpretation. The common equilibrium-sampling endpoint therefore cannot turn this accept/reject derivation into Creutz's conditional heat bath.

The established shared endpoint is output-led: exact selection is conjoined directly with validity, target, balance, accessibility, convergence, and equilibrium production, rather than storing the calculation or route proof. The latter can be reconstructed from those inhabited relations. This is exhibited by metropolis_route_exhibits_nonvacuous_shared_equilibrium_sampling. Grounding is earlier and narrower: it requires the exact selected model and the valid target, balance, and accessibility setup, but neither convergence nor equilibrium production. The model is thereby grounded in the modified-Monte-Carlo framework and an accessible sampling process, and every shared claim transfers to both only after the independently completed route is combined with that grounding. The adapter remains asymptotic: it stores a distinct finite-run-convergence predicate but the 1953 route does not establish it.

Complete route inventory, blocked shortcuts, and provenance
The source map declares eight routes, thirty claims, and thirty sourced steps. Coverage interprets every atom, certifies every route, and proves exhaustive semantic realization. The qualified conjunction is the declared main conclusion. The finite-cell, target, naive-method, update, rigid-sphere, virial, numerical, and scope setups are independent local premises; certified predecessor outputs appear only at the result steps that use them. Implication-valued calculation and interpretation contracts are likewise independent inputs applied only at those result steps. The virial route has a separate source-formula output, so the pressure result cannot silently erase equations (7)-(10).

Three dynamical levels
The actual finite sampler now consumes the existing dynamics paradigm on normalized probability laws and, separately, on retained configurations. Stochastic rows give well-posed law evolution and actual retained successors. Positive branching at a configuration with positive canonical mass excludes retained-state uniqueness. actual_canonical_update_separates_distribution_and_state_levels derives this nonvacuous distinction from the kernel.
A constructed two-coordinate swap is deterministic on its larger state space and starts from the sampler's actual joint law. Its observed one-step statistics match exactly. After two swaps it returns to the initial observed state, whereas the q=3/8 Markov kernel gives joint mass 9/64 for (false,true). one_step_realization_does_not_supply_the_next_canonical_joint_law retains canonical sampling and convergence while rejecting that stronger history claim. This is not molecular dynamics, the historical random-number implementation, or a denial of other deterministic realizations of a Markov history.
Equilibrium marginals and actual adjacent-update laws
FiniteMetropolisRun now compares proposals 3/8 and 3/4 for the same canonical target (3/4,1/4). Both kernels satisfy detailed balance, have normalized consecutive-configuration laws with both marginals equal to the target, and genuinely converge. The centered occupation has variance 3/16 but adjacent-update correlations 3/32 and 0. identical_canonical_marginals_do_not_determine_the_actual_joint_law therefore separates an equilibrium distribution from its history law.
The old assigned clock and energy residual have been removed. the_actual_sampler_is_not_deterministic_on_configuration_states instead uses two positive-probability destinations to reject a single deterministic update map on the retained states alone. It does not exclude hidden momenta or bath variables, nor assert that stochastic open-system dynamics is unphysical. These update-index correlations are not calibrated molecular-time correlations or reconstructed rigid-disk data.

Periodic replica construction
Minimum-image energy reduction without rapid falloff
The countermodels are value-level witnesses. They retain positive thermal and pressure domains, Boltzmann weight and kinetic normalization, symmetric proposal rates with unequal target-weighted flows, normalized canonical populations (2/3, 1/3) with discarded rejected attempts, correct uphill acceptance with noncanonical populations (1/2, 1/2), pairwise balance with zero cross-component reach probability, local displacement with missing width/wrap/move/attempt inputs, sixty-four-cycle finite bias, the reported three-percent statistical error with a larger finite-size shift, and explicit interface and other-image contributions. The failed conclusions are precisely directional population balance, accessibility, finite rate, identification of adjacent-update correlations and deterministic retained-state evolution, thermodynamic or finite-size control, two-phase coverage, and minimum-image sufficiency.
Five source-dependency audits and six status audits
routes_have_exact_predecessor_graph fixes the eight direct route dependencies. local_setups_are_independent_hypotheses prevents fresh physical setups from masquerading as consequences of earlier route outputs. calculation_and_interpretation_contracts_are_independent_hypotheses prevents implication-valued contracts from masquerading as derived outputs. result_steps_apply_selected_inputs_and_contracts checks every application site, and dependent_routes_consume_certified_predecessor_outputs checks the inherited route chain.
sampling_result_retains_paper_derivation preserves the paper calculation behind canonical sampling, while sampling_result_depends_on_target_and_update_routes checks that the sampling claim really inherits both the canonical target and modified update. numerical_evidence_retains_controlled_status preserves the finite approximation. qualified_conclusion_retains_open_convergence_obligation preserves the unspecified finite rate, qualified_conclusion_retains_numerical_input preserves dependence on the controlled run, and qualified_conclusion_depends_on_sampling_and_numerical_evidence checks that the final conjunction inherits both substantive branches.
Machine-checked audit boundary
argument_wellFormed, argument_auditable, and routes_wellFormed certify source structure. The five dependency guards additionally certify exact predecessor routes, independent local setups, independent contracts, result-step applications, and certified predecessor-output use. every_source_claim_has_semantics covers all thirty claims, and route_semantic_realization_is_exhaustive covers all eight routes. Coverage extracts every direct inherited route output instead of accepting a fresh copy of the result as a theorem parameter, including the separate virial-source-formula output. The canonical branch separately establishes, grounds, and transfers every claim of the shared equilibrium-sampling model.
