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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite measurable space and the class .
A class shatters an indexed finite set exactly when its trace family contains every subset of the index set; its VC dimension is the supremum of shattered cardinalities (Binary learning minimax excess risk, Shattering and the Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension of a set family).
Verification
For each , the function defined by exactly when belongs to ; hence the indexed trace family on is , so this set is shattered by [F1].
The whole domain has only three points, so no subset of four distinct domain points exists. Thus no four-point set can be shattered, and the VC dimension is exactly three.

Dependency tree · two levels
10 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.
