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.
Normal sample mean and residuals are independent

Standard Borel spaces, Statistics and estimators, and Continuous functions on Euclidean spaces are Borel measurable: a statistic is a measurable data map, and continuous Euclidean maps are Borel.
Lebesgue measurable sets, the family , and the restricted set function , Lebesgue measure is sigma-finite, and every metrically bounded subset of has finite outer measure, and Every affine hyperplane of , and hence every proper linear subspace, is Lebesgue null: Lebesgue measure is sigma-finite and proper affine hyperplanes are null.

A full exponential family is complete: the canonical statistic is complete when the parameter set contains a nonempty open subset and the representation has full rank.
Ancillary statistics: ancillarity means a parameter-independent distribution.
Basu’s independence theorem: a complete sufficient statistic is independent of every ancillary statistic.
A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions: translation sends the standard normal density to the density.
The measure with density relative to : a nonnegative Borel density defines a measure relative to its base measure.

On Borel subsets of R^{m+n}, the product lambda_m times lambda_n agrees with lambda_{m+n}: under AC, products of Euclidean Lebesgue measures agree with the corresponding Euclidean Lebesgue measure on Borel sets.
The Borel product of R^m and R^n is the Borel sigma-algebra of R^{m+n}: product Borel sigma-algebras on Euclidean spaces are the Euclidean Borel sigma-algebras.
Proof
The mean map is continuous, hence Borel by [F2] and a statistic. Use -dimensional Lebesgue measure as base measure; it is sigma-finite by [F3]. By [F1] and the translation case of [F10], each coordinate has density . Independence [F4] gives the product joint law. For this is already the joint density. For , repeated use of [F13] identifies with the product of the one-dimensional Lebesgue measures. The measure with density relative to exists by [F11]. Repeated Tonelli [F4] and the rectangle formula [F12] show that its values on Borel rectangles are the products of the marginal probabilities; [F14] says these rectangles generate the Borel sigma-algebra of , so repeated product-measure uniqueness [F12] identifies it with the joint law. Thus . Setting , , and writes it as with . Completing the square and using Tonelli gives . The natural parameter set is all , hence open. For , the level set is a proper affine hyperplane, null by [F3], so has no affine constraint; it is full rank by [F5]. Thus [F6] and [F7] make sufficient and complete.
The residual map is continuous, hence a statistic by [F2]. Write with iid by [F1]. Then , so the law of does not depend on ; it is ancillary by [F8]. Apply [F9] to conclude and are independent under every .
