#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ PROVENANCE: NUMERICAL Computation 147 -- The reservoir question, and why P3 typicality answers it ============================================================================ Chapter 11 calls it "the reservoir with no bottom": sublimation is ongoing, it drives the acceleration, and nothing in the text bounds the supply. The natural worry is exhaustion. mu is a PROBABILITY measure, so the configuration space has total mass 1 however large D is; a process consuming measure at a constant rate empties it in finite time, and infinite D does not help. The worry turns out to rest on a stock-and-flow picture the theory does not have, and the check that settles it is P3's own typicality condition rather than any new argument. Two readings of "ongoing sublimation": DEPLETING. A configuration that crosses leaves the ensemble. The reservoir is a stock, and it drains. MODAL. Crossing is a change of modal status, not consumption; the configuration is instantiated rather than removed. j_tau is a saturation DENSITY against mu, which is how sec:cosmology-eos defines it, and densities do not deplete. These are not interchangeable, and the discriminator is A3. The Mosco limit needs the realised cloud equidistributed (sec:mosco-conditional, compref 129), and P3 supplies that by maximum-entropy typicality. Depletion removes configurations in tension order -- high |T| first, since those cross first -- so the surviving ensemble is progressively biased toward low tension. Equidistribution is exactly what that destroys. CHECKS ------ (1) DEPLETION BIASES THE ENSEMBLE. Remove crossed configurations in tension order and measure the drift of the surviving ensemble away from uniform, as a KS distance in the tension quantile. It grows monotonically. (2) AND BREAKS A3 AT A COMPUTABLE POINT. A3 is a closure-rate inequality; here it is tracked by the same KS statistic against the tolerance compref 145 measured. The fraction of the ensemble that may deplete before A3 fails is reported. (3) THE MODAL READING PRESERVES IT EXACTLY. Re-label crossed configurations instead of removing them: the ensemble is untouched, KS stays at its floor for every sublimated fraction up to 100%. (4) THE EQUATION OF STATE AGREES. sec:cosmology-eos already forces j_tau to be a pre-spatial saturation density and NOT a per-proper-volume creation rate, because the latter gives Hoyle-Bondi-Gold w = 0 rather than w = -1. A depleting stock is a per-volume flux of exactly the excluded kind. The two exclusions are checked to coincide.

PST has no such object. j_tau is a saturation density against a probability measure, and a density does not deplete. The question is nonetheless worth asking, because the depleting reading is not merely absent but excluded -- though the two arguments against it are of very different strength, and it is worth not conflating them: - DECISIVE. The w = -1 derivation requires j_tau to be a pre-spatial saturation density and not a per-proper-volume creation rate, since the latter gives Hoyle-Bondi-Gold w = 0. A draining stock is a per-volume flux of exactly that form. No free parameter enters this argument. - WEAK, and reported as such. Depletion biases the surviving ensemble in tension order, which works against A3 equidistribution. But the drift is slow: at three times the atom floor it is first exceeded near 80 per cent sublimated, and the tolerance is a choice. This rules out a substrate most of the way consumed; it does not rule out depletion as such. So the reservoir has no bottom because it is not a reservoir. That is a structural answer rather than an appeal to an infinite substrate, and it holds whether D is finite or infinite -- which matters, since mu is a probability measure and infinite D would not have helped.
