A distribution with small shift distance #
Adapted for Lean Pool by changing module paths and selecting explicit imports.
Lemma 1.5 of Karingula–Lovett: for each grid N⁻¹ • ℤ ^ d, there is a finitely supported
probability distribution in [-6, 6] ^ d with mean zero and shift distance at most 1 / 3
under every grid translation of Euclidean norm at most 1.
The distribution is the image of cubeP d N under coordinatewise division by N.

A symmetric distribution has mean zero after pushing forward along any additive map.
