It underlies the emergence of classical behavior. We show that redundancy can persist despite thermalizing dynamics in the environment. This follows an initial broadcasting interaction that changes the density of a conserved quantity. The mutual information between the system and a fraction of the environment is estimated using the large deviation principle governing subsystem thermalization.
