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 three-category Dirichlet-Multinomial update
Statement
Assume Countable Choice. With prior , sample size , and observed counts , the evidence is and the posterior is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, the prior parameters , sample size , and counts .
Countable Choice is used by the Dirichlet simplex normalization theorem. The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
For positive Dirichlet parameters and admissible counts, the posterior adds the counts coordinatewise and the evidence is the Multinomial coefficient times the ratio of Dirichlet normalizers. Dirichlet-Multinomial conjugate update.
For positive integers , . for every natural number .
Verification
Given: The hypotheses in the Statement and facts [A1], [F1], [F2].
Here , , and . By [F2], , , , and . Substitution into [F1] gives .
The updated coordinates are , all strictly positive, so [F1] gives the proper posterior . The zero count in the third category leaves its positive prior coordinate unchanged.

Dependency tree · two levels
20 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.
