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.

An infinite singleton class has VC dimension one

Example

Let X=N with its discrete sigma-algebra, and let H={0}∪{ha:a∈N}, where ha(n)=1 exactly when n=a. The sketch shows the singleton indicator h2 on four elements of N (the ambient number line continues indefinitely). The verification proves the exact trace count for every finite tuple.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The class H of the zero function and all singleton-indicator functions on N.

[F1]

A tuple is shattered when every binary label vector occurs; repeated coordinates stay indexed. Indexed shattering and VC dimension of a binary class

[F2]

ΠH(m) counts the distinct traces on indexed m-tuples. Growth function of a binary hypothesis class

Verification

1.1F1givenconstruct

For distinct a,b∈N, ha(a)=1 and hb(a)=0, so the classifiers ha are pairwise distinct and H is infinite. For any single a, the zero function realizes label 0 and ha realizes label 1, so each one-point tuple is shattered.

2.1F1step 1.1

For any two distinct points, no member of H labels both points by 1, so their (1,1) pattern is absent; a repeated two-point tuple also cannot be shattered because both coordinates always agree. Thus no two-point tuple is shattered and VCdim⁡(H)=1.

3.1F2step 2.1algebra∎

On m distinct natural numbers, the traces are the empty vector and the m vectors with exactly one positive coordinate, so there are m+1. If a tuple repeats values, its trace is determined by its r≤m distinct values and has at most r+1≤m+1 patterns. The empty tuple has one trace. Therefore ΠH(m)=m+1 for every m≥0.
