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 base-null observation is a prior-predictive null fiber

Example

Assume AC. Let X={a,b} with the discrete sigma-algebra and let α=δa, so α({b})=0. In the model G∼DP(α) and X1∣G∼G, examine the data event {X1=b}.

Separately, let (Y,B) be any standard Borel space, let γ be a finite nonzero diffuse measure (meaning γ({z})=0 for every z∈Y), and fix one y∈Y. The verification also checks the posterior-version freedom on this fixed singleton data fiber.

Verification

Given: The finite two-point model in the Example and, separately, the standard Borel diffuse-base model (Y,B,γ) with fixed y∈Y.

1.1A1F1F3F6givenalgebra

The nonempty two-point discrete space X is standard Borel by [F6], and α=δa is a probability measure by [F6], hence a finite nonzero base measure of total mass 1. Thus [F1] applies: G({b})=0 almost surely. Since Pr⁡(X1=b∣G)=G({b}), integration over the prior gives Pr⁡(X1=b)=0, also agreeing with [F3].

2.1F2step 1.1construct

The formula in [F2] assigns K(b)=DP(δa+δb) at the null data value. Define another kernel by K′(a)=K(a) and K′(b)=DP(δa). Both sections are probability measures, and K′ is measurable because {b} is measurable in the discrete data space. For any measurable event C in P(X), the disintegration integrals for K and K′ differ only at b, which has data-marginal mass zero by step 1.1. Thus both are posterior versions; the update formula at b is a version choice, not evidence-supported learning.

In the separate diffuse-base model, [F3] gives data-marginal mass M({y})=γ({y})/γ(Y)=0. Let K(z)=DP(γ+δz) be the posterior kernel from [F2] and set K′(z)=K(z) for z≠y, K′(y)=DP(γ). By [F4], {y} is measurable. For every measurable C⊆P(Y), z↦K′(z,C)=1Y∖{y}(z)K(z,C)+1{y}(z)DP(γ)(C) is measurable; each section is a probability measure, so [F5] makes K′ a probability kernel. The disintegration integrals for K and K′ agree on every measurable rectangle because the kernels differ only on {y} and M({y})=0. Thus K′ is also a posterior version, proving that the displayed update value at this fixed null fiber is not uniquely determined.
