57. It is conventional to define ξ in terms of the grand canonical distribution function ḡ(r), because it is only in this ensemble that ḡ(r), and thus ξ, is related to the isothermal compressibility through the compressibility equation (Ref. 51).

59. The radial distribution functions are all step functions as a result of the design of the idealized system.
60. For simplicity in the present discussion we neglect the presence of the average atoms as they do not appear in the partial distribution functions of interest.
