Let be the event that the origin has an open graph path to the boundary of . The graph path can be stopped on its first boundary visit, so depends on only finitely many sites. Its probability is a finite sum of terms , and is therefore a continuous function of . Also , and the König infinity lemma gives . By continuity from above of a measure,
The monotone coupling of Bernoulli percolation described below shows that is nondecreasing. For , its right limit of a function exists and is at least . For every fixed ,
Taking the infimum in proves . This proves right continuity of percolation probability throughout ; at right continuity is understood relative to the parameter domain. The argument does not interchange two uncontrolled limits.
