The series converges because its summands are $O(k^{-3/2})$ thanks to the
rank bound (eq:channel-dimension). The projected contributions have
-total $limsup\leε$, by (eq:channel-projected-average) and
+total $limsupleε$, by (eq:channel-projected-average) and
the same probability identity. These estimates are uniform in $V,s$ and may
be integrated. There is no measurable-choice issue for the projections:
choose one for each of the countably many sizes and finitely many offset
-patterns. Letting $a\to∞$ in (eq:selected-law) and then
-$ε\to0$ proves the required vanishing.

Both laws in (eq:channel-laws) follow.
