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.
One corrupted block is rejected by the geometric median
Example
Take five real block means with . Their geometric median is exactly , regardless of how large is.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice and the five block means with . Countable Choice is a prerequisite of the minimum-norm selector used by Geometric median of block means, through Measurable minimum-norm geometric-median selection.
A geometric median minimizes the sum of distances to the listed block means (Geometric median of block means).
With inner product , is a real inner-product space: ordered-field arithmetic gives bilinearity, symmetry, and with equality only for (The reals form a totally ordered field, Real and complex inner-product spaces and their induced length). Its induced norm is (Square roots exist: a unique with ; the positives are , Basic properties of the absolute value), so completeness of the real line makes it a Hilbert space (The reals are complete, Hilbert space). The embedded rationals are countable and dense, so this Hilbert space is separable ( is countably infinite, The rationals embed densely in the reals, Separability: the existence of an at most countable dense subset).
Verification
Given: and the objective .
If , then , with equality only at . If , then , again with equality only at .
If , then . Therefore is the unique minimizer, and the minimum-norm selection rule also returns . Four of five centers are exact while the fifth can be arbitrarily far away.

Dependency tree · two levels
67 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.
