Use independent percolation configurations in and in its reflected copy . Require event in both copies and close the intervening site . This has probability . Because either distinguished infinite cluster meets its boundary hyperplane only at its distinguished origin, the closed intervening site prevents it from leaving its own half-space. The resulting whole-space configuration therefore has two distinct infinite clusters. Whole-space supercritical Bernoulli percolation has an almost surely unique infinite cluster, so and hence .
