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.
A raw zero uniform breaks Box–Muller but the midpoint avoids it
Example
A raw grid value can equal zero, so the Box–Muller logarithm is undefined on that input. Its midpoint version is always strictly positive; an ideal uniform input equals zero only on a null event.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An integer uniform on and the Box–Muller radius formula for .
The midpoint value is and belongs to . Midpoint bit discretization has bounded coupling and CDF error
An ideal bit-stream uniform has CDF on and hence assigns probability zero to . Disjoint streams of independent fair bits produce independent uniform variables
For , the exact Box–Muller reference radius is . Box–Muller has a product Gaussian density and Rayleigh second moment
The countable fair-bit product supplying [F2] assumes Countable Choice and Dependent Choice. The Axiom of Countable Choice (), The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an -indexed chain
Verification
The raw endpoint event is exactly , which has probability ; the radius expression [F3] has an undefined logarithm at that input.
By [F1], the midpoint input is at least and is less than , so its logarithm is finite. By [F2], the ideal stream hits with probability zero; a software interface still needs an explicit endpoint convention if it accepts closed-interval inputs.

Dependency tree · two levels
49 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.
