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 posterior median need not be unique
Example
Let . Every is a posterior median and has the same absolute posterior risk, .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: and there is no other posterior mass.
A posterior median has at least half the mass on each closed side. Posterior median
Every posterior median minimizes absolute posterior risk when the first absolute moment is finite. Every posterior median minimizes absolute risk when the first absolute moment is finite
Verification
Given: The hypotheses in the Example and Facts & Assumptions.
For , and , so [F1] makes every such a median.
For , . For , ; for , . Thus precisely the interval minimizes risk, in agreement with [F2].

Dependency tree · two levels
7 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.
