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.
Recurrence to a dyadic interval under doubling
Example
Assume countable choice. For Lebesgue doubling and , almost every has for infinitely many positive integers . The points of returning at time one form , of measure .
Facts & Assumptions
Finite measure preservation implies infinitely many positive returns for almost every point of a measurable set. Poincare recurrence for finite measure-preserving systems.
Doubling preserves Lebesgue probability on the circle and its completion. Doubling preserves Lebesgue measure.
Verification
Given: Assume countable choice. For Lebesgue doubling and , almost every has for infinitely many positive integers . The points of returning at time one form , of measure .
The set is Borel, with , and [F2] gives a measure-preserving system of total mass one. Applying [F1] with exactly this proves the stated almost-everywhere infinitely-many-positive-returns conclusion. Countable choice enters through [F2]; the recurrence theorem itself needs no choice axiom.
The two inverse branches give . Intersecting with leaves , whose measure is . This is the first-return-one set because there is no smaller positive time. Return times need not all be one: has successive images , so its first positive return time is four. Zero is fixed and returns at every positive time. These calculations are compatible with recurrence; recurrence alone supplies no return-frequency value or every-point assertion.

Dependency tree · two levels
13 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.
