Commuting creation operators make multiparticle states invariant under exchange of their labels. With [a,a†]=1, the normalized number states (a†)r∣0⟩/r!​ exist for all r≥0, giving unrestricted bosonic occupation numbers. The single-mode thermal sum is Z=∑r≥0​e−βEr=(1−e−βE)−1 and the mean occupation is (eβE−1)−1. Thus the exchange symmetry and the Bose-Einstein distribution are two expressions of the same bosonic algebra.
