Fixed-time marginal identity for the discrete-time particle system

Let X(n)\boldsymbol{X}(n) be the particle configuration at time nn, let 0\boldsymbol{0} denote the densely packed initial configuration, and let Tϕαn(0,λ)T^{\phi_{\alpha}^n}(\boldsymbol{0},\boldsymbol{\lambda}) be the transition probability associated with the function ϕαn\phi_{\alpha}^n. Fixed-time marginal identity. For any time n0n\geq 0,

P(X(n)=λ)=Tϕαn(0,λ).\mathbb{P}(\boldsymbol{X}(n)=\boldsymbol{\lambda})=T^{\phi_{\alpha}^n}(\boldsymbol{0},\boldsymbol{\lambda}).

The identity is supported by numerical calculations for fixed-time marginals on multiple levels under densely packed initial conditions, but it is false without the fixed-time assumption.
