We show that distributing a planetary system's maximum AMD amongst its planets results in a multiplicity-dependent distribution of eccentricities and mutual inclinations.

He, Ford, & Ragozzine (2019) (arXiv:1907. 07773) applied forward modelling to infer the distribution of intrinsic architectures of planetary systems, developed a clustered Poisson point process model for exoplanetary systems (SysSim) to reproduce the marginal distributions of the observed Kepler population, and showed that orbital periods and planet radii are clustered within a given planetary system.

We find that the Kepler dichotomy is evidence for a population of highly-inclined planetary systems and is unlikely to be solely due to a population of intrinsically single planet systems.
