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 rank-deficient universal-kriging design
Example
On the finite product space with equal probability on each of its eight outcomes, let be the coordinate indexed by . For unrestricted , define . Observe at and , and predict at , using . The observation design matrix has rank two, while . The universal-unbiasedness constraint has no solution, although the observation covariance is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The equal-weight product space, the three coordinate variables, the quadratic trend, and the observation and target sites.
Simple, ordinary, and universal kriging: for trend design matrix and target trend vector , universal-unbiased weights must satisfy .
Finite probability spaces, outcome weights, events, and event probabilities and Real random variables on finite probability spaces and their finite distributions: the eight outcomes have weights , and each coordinate variable is a function on that finite space.
Expectation of a real random variable on a finite probability space: expectations are finite weighted sums.
Variance, standard deviation, and covariance on a finite probability space: covariance is the expectation of a centered product.
Verification
Given: The eight equally weighted sign triples and the stated trend.
For each coordinate , four outcomes have value and four have value , so [F2] and [F3] give and . For distinct coordinates, each of the four sign pairs occurs twice, so [F4] gives . Hence the observation-error covariance is , which is positive definite.
The two rows of are linearly independent, but its last two columns are equal, so its rank is two rather than three. For every , ; its last two coordinates cannot equal the target's and . Thus no weight vector satisfies , so no linear predictor is unbiased for every .
