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.
IID finite-variance weak law
Statement
Let be IID square-integrable real random variables, with and . For , and in and in probability. Also for .
Facts & Assumptions
Identical distribution and IID families: Let be random elements with the same measurable target . They are identically distributed if for all and , that is, their laws in def-law-or-distribution-of-a-random-element agree. They are independent and identically distributed (IID) if, in addition, the whole family is independent in def-independent-random-elements. Independence means mutual independence, not merely pairwise independence. No moment assumption is part of either definition. The empty family satisfies these universal conditions vacuously.
Chebyshev weak law for uncorrelated arrays: For each , let be square-integrable real random variables on one probability space, pairwise uncorrelated within the row, where is finite. Set and let be deterministic. If then in and in probability. More precisely, its second moment is , and its probability of absolute value at least is at most . No independence between rows is required.
Expectations factor over finite products of independent random variables: Let , let be independent real random variables on a common probability space, and let be Borel measurable for each . 1. If every is nonnegative, then in . 2. If every is integrable, then is integrable and the same factorization holds in .
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses of the statement.
IID gives common mean and variance. For distinct indices, factorization of the integrable variables gives , hence zero covariance. Thus the first variables form an uncorrelated row.
Apply the row result with and . Its variance sum is , so it gives the displayed identity, both convergences, and the probability bound. This calculation holds for and for .

20 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.
