The thermalisation of a subsystem, contained in a closed dynamical system - in both classical and quantum regimes - is an intuitive phenomenon by which the energy levels of the subsystem irreversibly approach the maximum entropy canonical distribution. Numerical evidence, based on single trajectories of both integrable and non-integrable systems, has been presented [1,2], while no analytic results exist that do not invoke the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis or artificial thermostats. Here a method is proposed, that treats the eigenstates spanned by the equivalent closed subsystem as the basis set from which measurements are obtained. By considering how do the hybridised subsystem-system states, project onto the closed subsystem eigenstates, an attempt is made to derive a canonical distribution for the subsystem.
