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.
Regular conditional distribution
Definition
Let be a measurable random element and a sub-sigma-algebra. A regular conditional distribution of X given is a probability kernel satisfying
“Probability kernel” has the pointwise meaning of Measure kernel and probability kernel: every is a probability measure, and every evaluation is -measurable. Its evaluations lie in and are integrable. Thus the testing identity says exactly that is a conditional-expectation version of in Conditional expectation given a sigma algebra. Conversely, a probability kernel with these version identities satisfies the displayed definition.
The kernel requirement holds at every sample point. Separate eventwise choices of conditional-expectation versions do not imply it and do not by themselves provide one exceptional set valid for all A. When A is empty the testing identity is zero on both sides, and when A=T it is P(H) on both sides. This defines a property of a supplied kernel and makes no existence or AC assertion.
