In probability theory, an event is said to happen almost surely, sometimes abbreviated a.s., if it happens with probability 1 with respect to the underlying probability measure. Equivalently, the set of outcomes on which the event fails to happen has probability zero, even though that set may still be non-empty. The distinction between an event that is certain and one that merely happens almost surely becomes meaningful in infinite sample spaces, where non-empty sets of probability zero genuinely exist.

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
