Abstract: Using a simple probabilistic model, we illustrate that a small part of a strongly correlated many-body classical system can show a paradoxical behavior, namely asymptotic stochastic independence. We consider a triangular array such that each row is a list of $n$ strongly correlated random variables. The correlations are preserved even when $noinfty$, since the standard central limit theorem does not hold for this array. We show that, if we choose a fixed number $m<n$ of random variables of the $n$th row and trace over the other $n-m$ variables, and then consider $noinfty$, the $m$ chosen ones can, paradoxically, turn out to be independent. However, the scenario can be different if $m$ increases with $n$. Finally, we suggest a possible experimental verification of our results near criticality of a second-order phase transition.
