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.

Ancillary statistics

Definition

A statistic $U : (X, A) \to (Z, C)$ is ancillary for $(P_{θ})$ if its pushforward probability $P_{θ} \circ U^{- 1}$ does not depend on $θ$ . Equivalently, for every $C \in C$ , $P_{θ} (U \in C)$ is constant in $θ$ .

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
