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 Bernoulli count is minimal sufficient
Example
Assume AC. Let be iid Bernoulli with , sample space , and . Then is minimal sufficient.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, , , the Bernoulli product family, and counting measure as the common reference, so its likelihood densities equal the point masses.
The Axiom of Choice: AC is the axiom branch of the discrete minimal-sufficiency theorem.
Likelihood-ratio equivalence on common discrete support: points are equivalent exactly when their point-mass ratio is constant in the parameter; with counting measure these are also the likelihood-density ratios.
Likelihood-ratio classes are minimal sufficient on a common discrete support: the equivalence-class statistic is minimal sufficient on a countable common positive support.
Proof
Every sample point has probability , so the common support is the whole finite sample space. Counting measure assigns mass one to each point, so the densities equal these point masses; for , their ratio is .
If , this ratio is one for all . If , its values at and are respectively and , which differ. Thus equivalence classes are exactly the level sets of . By [F2], is minimal sufficient.

Dependency tree · two levels
15 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.
