We show that for translation invariant Markov random fields:(1) the K-property implies a trivial full tail;(2) the Bernoulli property implies Følner independence. Theexistence of bilaterally deterministic Bernoulli shifts tells usthat neither result is true without the Markov assumption (even inone dimension). We also show that for general translationinvariant random fields:(3) Følner independence implies a trivial full tail.
