How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
A nonmeasurable rule is not a statistic or test
Statement refuted
Every set map from a statistical data space to the binary action space is a statistic or a randomized test function.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The two-point data set, its trivial sigma-algebra, the one-point parameter set, and the map .
A sigma-algebra contains the full space and is closed under complements and countable unions (Sigma-algebras).
A measurable space is a set paired with a sigma-algebra (Measurable spaces and measurable sets).
The Dirac measure is a probability measure on every sigma-algebra on (The Dirac set function at a point, A Dirac set function is a probability measure).
An experiment is a data measurable space, parameter set, and family of probability measures (Statistical experiments).
A map is measurable exactly when preimages of measurable target sets are measurable (A measurable function between measurable spaces).
A statistic is a measurable data map (Statistics and estimators).
A randomized test function is measurable and is the action-1 probability of a binary kernel (Randomized tests).
A randomized procedure kernel has measurable action-event evaluations (Randomized procedures as probability kernels).
Counterexample
Given: Let carry the trivial sigma-algebra . Take a singleton parameter set with sampling law , and give the action space its full power-set sigma-algebra. Define the set map .
The family contains , and its only members have complements in ; any countable union of its members is either empty or . Hence is a sigma-algebra and is a measurable space.
In the full action sigma-algebra, is measurable, but . Therefore is not measurable by [F5].
The point mass is a probability measure on this measurable space by [F3]. Thus the stated one-parameter family is a statistical experiment.
In this valid experiment, the map is not a statistic by [F6] and is not a randomized test function by [F7], since step 1.2 shows it is not measurable.
If were the action-1 evaluation of a procedure kernel, then would have to be measurable by [F8], contradicting step 1.2. Thus the map is not a randomized procedure either, proving the stated claim false.
