The ensemble density of actual configurations equals the squared norm of the guiding wave function. For spinless particles with , the Schrödinger continuity equation is . A density transported by the same guiding field satisfies the same equation, so initial equality is preserved. This equivariance is a consistency property, not a proof that every possible initial ensemble is in equilibrium. The physical account of the equilibrium assumption and subsystem statistics requires an additional argument.
