"**Résultat attendu.**\n",
"- Les histogrammes (panneau gauche) se rapprochent de la courbe blanche tiretée (loi limite $\\mu_t$ approximée par $N=12000$) à mesure que $N$ croît.\n",
"- La quantité $\\sqrt{N}\\cdot \\overline{W_2}$ doit rester approximativement constante (panneau droit), ce qui correspond à la décroissance théorique $\\overline{W_2}\\sim C/\\sqrt{N}$.\n",
"\n",
"**Lecture du graphique.**\n",
"- *Panneau gauche* — comparer la finesse et la stabilité du support à $t=T$ : $N=20$ est très bruité, $N=4000$ est presque indiscernable de la référence.\n",
"- *Panneau droit* — sur axes log-log, les marqueurs orange suivent fidèlement la pente $-1/2$ tracée en pointillés gris : c'est la signature visuelle du taux de Sznitman.\n",
"\n",
"**Conclusion.** Le simulateur Rust `mean_reverting_mckean_vlasov` reproduit fidèlement la propagation du chaos prédite par la théorie : la mesure empirique du système à $N$ particules converge vers la loi déterministe de la diffusion non linéaire, à la vitesse universelle $\\mathcal{O}(1/\\sqrt{N})$. Cela valide à la fois l'implémentation et l'usage du primitive comme bloc de base pour des modèles de champ moyen plus généraux (jeux de champ moyen, dynamiques d'opinion, calibration)."
