Abstract: We show that a large collection of statistical mechanical systems with quadratically represented Hamiltonians on the complete graph can be extended to infinite exchangeable processes. This extends a known result for the ferromagnetic Curie--Weiss Ising model and includes as well all ferromagnetic Curie--Weiss Potts and Curie--Weiss Heisenberg models. By de Finetti's theorem, this is equivalent to showing that these probability measures can be expressed as averages of product measures. We provide examples showing that ``ferromagnetism is not however in itself sufficient and also study in some detail the Curie--Weiss Ising model with an additional 3-body interaction. Finally, we study the question of how much the antiferromagnetic Curie--Weiss Ising model can be extended. In this direction, we obtain sharp asymptotic results via a solution to a new moment problem. We also obtain a ``formula for the extension which is valid in many cases.
