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 point source produces a uniform expanding sphere
Example
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()). Let and fix . Choose a nonnegative with (normalise a nonnegative bump from A smooth bump between concentric Euclidean balls), and put . Then is a smooth unit-mass velocity datum supported in , and the Kirchhoff solution with is . As , for every continuous test function , so the limiting mass spreads uniformly over the sphere of radius : the point source at the origin produces, at time , the uniform probability measure on the expanding sphere, scaled by . Equivalently the limiting surface density is per unit area, whose total against the area is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, , , a nonnegative with unit integral, the rescaled datum , and a continuous test function .
With the Kirchhoff solution is , a solution attaining the data (Kirchhoff's formula in three dimensions, The dimension formulas attain the Cauchy data).
The spherical mean is the normalised sphere integral, (Spherical means and the weighted ball integral of space-dependent data, Sphere and ball measures scale in Rn with ).
For integrable on the product of a compact set with , the order of integration may be interchanged (Fubini's theorem for L^1 functions on a sigma-finite product).
The map is continuous near : parameterizing it as , uniform continuity of on a compact ball gives continuity. Also by linear change of variables and ; the sphere scaling at is Sphere and ball measures scale in Rn. The change of variables and compactness and uniform-continuity inputs are A linear map of sends Lebesgue measurable sets to Lebesgue measurable sets, with when is invertible and Lebesgue null when it is not, For , every Euclidean closed ball and every Euclidean sphere of positive radius is compact and Heine-Cantor: a continuous map from a compact metric space to any metric space is uniformly continuous, respectively.
Verification
Fubini on a fixed product. By [F1], . The integrand vanishes unless , where is bounded; the absolute integrand is bounded by , with . This majorant is integrable because the product rectangle has finite measure. Thus [F3] applies to the fixed product . Set in the inner Euclidean integral, then reflect using Reflection invariance and vanishing first moment of the sphere measure. This gives , with the last equality supplied by sphere-measure scaling Agreement with the existing polar sphere measure.
By [F4], . Therefore . The limiting measure has total mass and constant surface density ; dividing the measure by gives the uniform probability measure on that sphere.
