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.
Absolute-value boundary and squared-mean degeneracy
Example
For IID standard-normal data at mean zero, compare the two estimators and . The first has a kink at the boundary value zero. The second has zero first derivative and a nondegenerate second-order limit. Both ordinary bootstrap roots retain a random conditional distribution.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, the IID normal model at mean zero, and the two statistic sequences.
The Axiom of Choice: AC is the axiom that every family of nonempty sets has a choice function.
Ordinary bootstrap failure for nonsmooth and first-order-degenerate mean functionals: Under AC and IID standard-normal observations, both correctly centered bootstrap root CDFs at zero stay separated in probability from the corresponding true root CDF value zero.
m-out-of-n bootstrap and subsampling: The ordinary bootstrap is the size- with-replacement method, centered at the observed estimator and scaled by the actual root normalization.
Verification
Under AC and the IID standard-normal model in [F1], the boundary mean is zero. The target for is zero and is not differentiable there; the target for is also zero and its first derivative vanishes. The root normalizations are respectively and .
The ordinary bootstrap roots therefore are and , as follows from the centering and size- scale in [F2]. Theorem [F1] proves that each conditional CDF fails at the continuity point zero, despite the nondegenerate true limits and .

Dependency tree · two levels
17 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.
