    "abstract": "We formalize in Lean 4 the thermodynamic limit of bounded local Gibbs expectations for a periodic lattice gauge model in a uniform Kotecky-Preiss regime. The proof treats the complete finite-volume sequence: an exact one-volume marked expansion cancels the extensive far gas algebraically, common-window terms are transported exactly, and the remaining boundary contribution is bounded by an existing volume-uniform pinned cluster tail. The resulting explicit Cauchy modulus tends to zero, so completeness constructs an infinite-volume positive normalized real local state. On the intrinsic integer-coordinate local-observable algebra, the state carries a genuine additive action of Z^d and is invariant under every integer translation, including inverses. For SU(2), Haar probability measure, and the physical Wilson plaquette energy Re tr(U), the hypotheses are discharged throughout the explicit punctured intervals 0 < |beta| <= 10^-5 in d=2 and 0 < |beta| <= 10^-6 in d=4. We construct a genuine centered free-boundary exhaustion and prove that its complete cofinal sequence converges to the same state as periodic boundary conditions. The normalized finite-volume two-plaquette truncated-correlation bound also passes to the state under explicit eventual realization and separation hypotheses. We do not claim arbitrary boundary conditions, a C*-algebraic state, a continuum limit, Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction, or progress on the continuum Yang-Mills mass-gap problem."
