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.
A Bayesian posterior RCD indexed by the sample point
Example
Let , give each parameter prior probability , and set when and otherwise. On the canonical joint space , the posterior RCD is the random probability measure , where and . The RCD is evaluated at a sample point ; the data-indexed version is the separate kernel .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite model and the canonical joint probability specified in the example.
A proper Bayesian model supplies a prior probability and a parameter-measurable sampling probability kernel. Bayesian model as a prior and sampling kernel
A posterior RCD is indexed by the sample point, while a data-indexed posterior is a kernel on the data space whose composition with satisfies the conditional-law identity. Bayesian posterior as a regular conditional law
The prior and sampling kernel define the joint probability on the product space. A prior and model kernel define a joint law
Verification
Given: The assumptions and finite model in the example.
The joint law assigns mass to each diagonal point and to each off-diagonal point; hence .
For each , has masses at and at , so it is a probability, with and . Define . Since the spaces are finite, both and are measurable for every .
Every event is for some . For any , . Thus is an RCD of given , and by [F2] it is the posterior RCD.

Dependency tree · two levels
23 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.
