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.
Arbitrary products of standard Borel probability spaces
Statement
Assume AC. For standard-Borel probability spaces there is a unique probability measure on whose finite-coordinate marginals are the finite product measures .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC and a family of standard-Borel probability spaces.
Finite product measures have the rectangle formula and are probability measures. (For sigma-finite factors, the product measure exists, has the rectangle formula, is sigma-finite, and is unique)
Kolmogorov extension applies to every consistent finite-dimensional family on standard-Borel coordinates. (Assuming the Axiom of Choice, Kolmogorov extension for arbitrary families of standard Borel coordinate spaces)
Proof
For finite , define . The rectangle formula shows that projecting to gives , so the family is consistent.
Apply [F2] to . Its conclusion is exactly the stated measure and its cylinder-sigma uniqueness; it does not assert a measure on .

Dependency tree · two levels
23 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
