For disjoint pairs Ai​,Bi​ such that Ai​∩Bj​=∅ whenever i=j, the displayed sum is at most one. In a uniformly random permutation, the events that all of Ai​ precedes all of Bi​ are disjoint events, and their probabilities are the summands. Taking Bi​ to be the complement of the members Ai​ of an antichain recovers the LYM inequality.
