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.
The essential supremum of a measurable function with respect to a measure
Definition
Let be a measure space, and let be measurable. The essential supremum of with respect to is
When the measure is fixed from context, this is written . The phrase essentially bounded means .
The later proposition The essential supremum is attained as the least essential bound proves that when , the inequality itself holds almost everywhere and that this bound is the least essential bound.

2 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.
