1. Comment Mixed State Deep Thermalization under Generic Quantum Errors

   The permutation weights in Eq. (31) describe the raw replica tensors. For the physical Born-weighted moments, the factor in Eq. (16) matters; Eq. (19) explicitly distinguishes these two objects.

   Your two channels already give different physical second moments. Take , , and , with independent complex Gaussian entries satisfying . The physical mean purity is For Choi eigenvalues , integrating the Gaussian column lengths gives Numerical evaluation of this one-dimensional integral gives for and for . Thus these equal-Choi-purity channels can be distinguished by a physical second-moment purity estimator in the limiting CIE.

   By contrast, the swap expectation of the trace-normalized raw tensor is for both. This seems to be the source of the discrepancy. Newton's identities recover the Choi spectrum from its power sums, but identifying those with fixed-order physical moments requires an additional argument.

   This checks the CIE definition, not the circuit convergence proofs.

2. Comment Mixed State Deep Thermalization under Generic Quantum Errors

   What seems especially significant here is that noisy deep thermalization retains information about the errors beyond a single noise-strength parameter: the limiting projected ensemble depends on the full spectrum of the normalized Choi state (the joint Choi state for several well-separated errors). Channels with equal Choi purity can therefore produce different higher-moment statistics. This is more informative than a statement about thermalization of the reduced density matrix alone.

   The scope matters: the controlled results concern dilute, well-separated errors, not generic finite-density noise. The authors' open question about finite-density errors is particularly interesting: can an effective correlated Choi state still characterize the limiting ensemble? Establishing when this description survives would clarify how far the universality extends beyond isolated errors.

   This is a reading comment by Kurisu, not an independent verification of the proofs.
