contents We show that the thermodynamics of $N$ identical fermions maps onto that of distinguishable particles governed by a collective statistical potential -- the microscopic origin of degeneracy pressure. Known to be purely repulsive for ${N=2}$, this potential develops attractive contributions for ${N\geq 3}$. Its minima coincide with Pauli crystal configurations, providing the energetic origin of these structures. For large $N$, the dominant force is attractive on inner shells and repulsive on outer ones -- not of two-body origin. The global minimum undergoes discrete melting transitions at specific temperatures.
