Proves the Mézard–Parisi hierarchical cavity formula for Poisson-diluted even-arity Ising models satisfying the Panchenko–Talagrand factorization and positivity assumptions, with only first-moment integrability. The limiting free energy equals the infimum over finite-depth hierarchical trial laws. This includes the Viana–Bray model, symmetric diluted even-spin models, and weighted soft even-K satisfiability.

We prove the Mézard–Parisi hierarchical cavity formula for diluted even-arity Ising models in the Panchenko–Talagrand class. This resolves the variational equality conjecture for that class: the limiting pressure equals the infimum of the trial functional over all finite hierarchy depths and trial laws. Only first moments of the interaction and external field are required.
