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 deterministic statistic is a Dirac kernel

Example

Let T:(X,A)→(Y,B) be a statistic in an experiment. Define K(x,C)=δT(x)(C)={1,T(x)∈C,0,T(x)∉C,C∈B. Then K is a randomized procedure that assigns probability one to the statistic value T(x) after observing x.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Measurable spaces (X,A) and (Y,B) in a statistical experiment, and a statistic T:X→Y.

[F1]

A statistic is a measurable map from the observation space to its target measurable space (Statistics and estimators).

[F2]

The Dirac set function at y assigns one to measurable sets containing y and zero to the others (The Dirac set function at a point).

[F3]

Each Dirac set function is a probability measure (A Dirac set function is a probability measure).

[F4]

A randomized procedure is a probability kernel: each action section is a probability measure and each action-event evaluation is measurable in the data (Randomized procedures as probability kernels).

[F5]

A measurable map has measurable preimages (A measurable function between measurable spaces).

[F6]

A sigma-algebra is closed under complements (Sigma-algebras).

Proof

1.1givenF2F3

For each x∈X, the set function C↦K(x,C) is the Dirac measure at T(x), so it is a probability measure by [F2] and [F3].

1.2F1F5F6

Fix C∈B and put E=T−1(C)∈A by [F1] and [F5]. The evaluation x↦K(x,C) is 1 on E and 0 on X∖E, which belongs to A by [F6]. For any Borel subset D⊆[0,1], its preimage is one of ∅, X, E, or X∖E, hence is measurable. Thus this evaluation is measurable.

2.1F4step 1.1step 1.2∎

Steps 1.1 and 1.2 verify both clauses of [F4], so K is a probability kernel and therefore a randomized procedure. Since each section is the point mass at T(x), it takes the action T(x) with probability one.
