Paradoxical probabilistic behavior for strongly correlated many-body classical systems

Using a simple probabilistic model, we illustrate that a small part of a strongly correlated many-body classical system can show a paradoxical behavior, namely asymptotic stochastic independence. We consider a triangular array such that each row is a list of n strongly correlated random variables. The correlations are preserved even when n→∞, since the standard central limit theorem does not hold for this array. We show that, if we choose a fixed number m
