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.
Gaussian integrand: exact Monte Carlo moments and asymptotic error
Example
Assume AC and let have law with . Use the identity integrand , whose target is , and take IID outputs with this law. Then and ; the estimated standard error is relatively consistent, and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, , and a real IID sequence with common law .
The Axiom of Choice: AC is the axiom that every family of nonempty sets has a choice function.
Location-scale normal laws have their stated mean and variance: Under AC, a real random variable with law for has mean and variance .
Unbiasedness and exact variance of the IID Monte Carlo mean: For integrable IID outputs, ; with a finite second moment, .
Consistency of the IID Monte Carlo sample variance: With finite second moment, almost surely, and for , almost surely.
Lindeberg–Lévy limit for the IID Monte Carlo mean: Under AC and , .
IID Monte Carlo sample mean, variance, and standard error: for under the finite-second-moment contract.
Verification
By [F1], each output has mean and variance , so its first absolute moment and second moment are finite. Applying [F2] gives and .
The finite-second-moment hypotheses of [F3] hold by [A1] and [F1]. Thus almost surely and, using the plug-in definition [F5], .
The sequence has positive finite variance and AC is assumed, so [F4] applies and gives .

Dependency tree · two levels
24 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.
