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 compressed classifier can differ from its trained predictor off the sample
Example
Let and , both with the discrete sigma-algebra, and let . Define and the two-class score maps Both maps can be realized by one-hidden-layer feedforward networks with ReLU hidden activation and identity output activation. Take the training score map to be constant, for every length-one sample, and take a constant selector into a fixed one-code codebook with and , whose decoder is . For the one-point training sample , the scores agree exactly, so is a -score compression of on . Their least-index argmax classifiers agree at the observed input and differ at the unobserved input . Their population zero-one risks are and . This is only a single-sample witness: the fixed code does not meet the theorem's almost-sure compression hypothesis for this , because it fails on the other possible one-point sample .

A feedforward computation graph is a finite directed acyclic graph evaluated in a topological order; a layered MLP has hidden activations and identity output activations. Finite feedforward computation graphs and layered MLPs
A finite score codebook is fixed independently of the sample, while its measurable selector may depend on the sample; compression on requires coordinatewise score error at most the stated tolerance on each observed input. Margin-preserving compression of score classifiers
Under the theorem's almost-sure compression hypothesis, the conclusion bounds the decoded classifier , and makes no claim for the original classifier without separate all-domain loss preservation. Finite-description compression bound for trained classifiers
Verification
Given: The finite instance space , labels , equal-mass law , and score maps from the Example.
Let the two hidden ReLU units for be and , with output coordinates . Let use one hidden unit , output weights zero, and output biases . These are finite one-hidden-layer graphs with hidden activation and identity output activation, as in [F1]. Direct evaluation gives and , .
The least-index argmax rule predicts class for both maps at ; at , predicts class and predicts class . Under , is correct on both support points, while errs exactly at , so and . Also .
Let with one parameter slot whose only possible value is , fix the helper string, decode to , and let the compressor choose on every sample. On , the maximum coordinate error is , so this sample is compressed and the predictions agree on the observed point. On , the maximum coordinate error is , so this fixed compressor fails the almost-sure premise of the theorem under . Therefore this example establishes only that single-sample agreement can coexist with different off-sample predictions and population risks; it does not contradict or invoke the theorem's high-probability conclusion.
