The actual aggregate zero atom is the full count PGF evaluated at zero-claim severity mass. The exact assumptions, units and boundary conventions are recorded separately in the formal statement.

Mathematical relation:

The actual aggregate zero atom is the full count PGF evaluatedat zero-claim severity mass.\begin{aligned}\text{The actual aggregate zero atom is the full count PGF evaluated} \\ \text{at zero-claim severity mass.}\end{aligned}
