 Infinite-volume wired random-cluster measure

For $q\ge 1$, finite random-cluster measures with all boundary graph vertices identified have a weak infinite-volume limit of a sequence. On a regular lattice it is invariant under translations and lattice reflections and has positive association of the random-cluster model. Its conditional single-edge open probability lies between $p/(p+q(1-p))$ and $p$. Connection events can be approximated by increasing finite-volume path events, so their positive-association inequalities pass to the limit of a sequence.
