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 sample-size consequence for compression schemes

Statement

Let m,d∈N with m>d. Let (X,Σ) be a measurable space, let c:X→{0,1} be measurable, and let D be a probability measure on X. Put Z=X×{0,1} with its product sigma-algebra. For each 0≤i≤d, let Gi:Zi×X→{0,1} be a fixed jointly measurable reconstruction map, with G0 measurable on X. Draw independent observations X1,…,Xm, each with law D, and form S=((X1,c(X1)),…,(Xm,c(Xm))). A deterministic compressor selects an index subset I(S)={i1<⋯<ik}⊆[m] with k≤d and outputs hS(x)=Gk(SI(S),x), where SI(S) is the ordered tuple of selected labeled entries; for I(S)=∅, use G0. Assume the reconstruction is consistent on every such sample, meaning hS(Xj)=c(Xj) for each j, and assume the learner's output-risk event is measurable. Define RD(h):=D{x:h(x)≠c(x)}. Fix ϵ,δ∈(0,1). If d=0 and mϵ≥log⁡(1/δ), or if 1≤d<m and ϵ(m−d)≥dlog⁡(emd)+log⁡(1/δ), where e is the base of the real exponential function, then RD(hS)≤ϵ with probability at least 1−δ over the independent observations.

Proof

Given: The hypotheses in the Statement.

1.1F1F3F4givenalgebra

If d=0, [F1] reduces the bad-subset probability to (1−ϵ)m. By [F3] this is at most exp⁡(−mϵ), which is at most δ when mϵ≥log⁡(1/δ) by [F4].

1.2F1F2F3F4givenalgebra

If 1≤d<m, then for every i≤d, [F3] with n=m−i gives (1−ϵ)m−i≤exp⁡(−ϵ(m−i)). Since m−i≥m−d and ϵ>0, monotonicity of the exponential [F4] gives exp⁡(−ϵ(m−i))≤exp⁡(−ϵ(m−d)). Thus [F1] and [F2] bound the bad-subset probability by (emd)dexp⁡(−ϵ(m−d))=exp⁡(dlog⁡(emd)−ϵ(m−d)). The displayed sample-size condition makes the exponent at most −log⁡(1/δ)=log⁡δ, so monotonicity of the exponential gives a bound at most δ.

2.1F1step 1.1step 1.2given∎

A consistent learner's output is one of the reconstructions counted by the bad-subset event in [F1]. Therefore its measurable failure event has probability at most δ in either case, proving the conclusion.
