Gasses typically aren’t assembled by trillions of repetitions of isolating an atom and inserting it into a container. Gas canisters are (I assume) assembled by e.g. compressing some resevoir (even simply a fraction of the atmosphere) or via a chemical reaction that produces the gas, and in these cases such procedures constitute the long-tailed variable that I am talking about in this series. (They are large relative to the individual particle velocities, and the particle velocities are a diminished form of the creation procedure as e.g. some ways of creating the gas leaves it more hot or similar.) Gasses in nature also have long-tailed causes, e.g. the atmosphere is collected due to the Earth’s gravitational pull. (I think particles in outer space would technically not constitute a gas, but their velocities are AFAIK long-tailed due to coming from quasars and such.)
