Low-energy states of local Hamiltonians have half-system entanglement entropies upper-bounded by the thermal entropies of two fictitious systems whose combined energies match the state's energy.

Absence of simple slow operators implies that typical low-complexity states thermalize in quantum systems.
The paper establishes that typical states in a grand-canonical micro-canonical Hilbert subspace produce the grand-canonical density matrix and a GAP/Scrooge wave-function distribution for the subsystem.
