The consistent partition process on whose finite restrictions are Kingman's coalescent. It starts with infinitely many singleton blocks.
For , the number of blocks is finite almost surely. On a finite restriction, the expected time to reach blocks is at most . Markov inequality, followed by increasing the restriction, gives . Let , then use rational times and monotonicity to obtain the assertion simultaneously for every .
