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 canonical random walk from product increments
Example
Assume countable choice and dependent choice. On the product space , give each coordinate the fair Bernoulli law and use the product probability measure of Assuming countable and dependent choice, countable products of arbitrary probability spaces. Write , set , and put and for . The process is the canonical simple random walk built from independent increments.
Verification
Given: Countable choice, dependent choice, and the fair Bernoulli coordinate laws.
[F1] The countable product theorem supplies the product probability measure with its prescribed finite marginals (Assuming countable and dependent choice, countable products of arbitrary probability spaces).
[F2] Its coordinate maps are independent (Coordinate random elements of a countable product are independent).
The countable product theorem gives the probability measure with fair Bernoulli coordinate marginals. The coordinate-independence corollary makes the independent. Thus the signs are independent, with .
For any finite list of distinct increment times, their joint law is the uniform law on the corresponding sign vectors. The process coordinates are the partial sums of these increments, not the increments themselves.
Depends on
- Assuming countable and dependent choice, countable products of arbitrary probability spaces
- Coordinate random elements of a countable product are independent
- Stochastic processes and their finite-dimensional distributions
- The Axiom of Countable Choice ($\mathrm{AC}_\omega$)
- The axiom of dependent choice: a relation in which every element is related to something admits an $\mathbb{N}$-indexed chain

Dependency tree · two levels
26 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.
