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.
Rescaling loss changes the effective temperature
Example
Let with its power-set sigma-algebra and prior , for . At a fixed observation , let and with . For every , replacing this loss section by at temperature gives the same update as retaining at temperature . At any two distinct positive temperatures, the updates are different.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite parameter space with its power-set sigma-algebra; an observation ; ; real loss-section values ; and positive temperatures with .
A countable discrete measurable space is standard Borel: every nonempty at-most-countable set with its power-set sigma-algebra is standard Borel.
Probability measures and probability spaces: a probability measure is a measure of total mass one.
Generalized Bayes loss update and temperature: when its normalizer is finite and positive, the update is the measure with density relative to the prior.
A finite-normalizer loss update is a probability measure: each update with a finite positive normalizer is a probability measure.
The exponential function is strictly increasing: the exponential is strictly increasing, hence injective, on .
The exponential is positive and satisfies : and for every real .
Verification
The set is nonempty and finite, so [F1] makes its power-set measurable space standard Borel. Since , the masses and are positive and sum to one, so [F2] makes a probability. For every , the two real loss values give positive finite weights and by [F6]; their prior-weighted sum is therefore finite and positive.
By [F3]–[F4], the update has masses Consequently its odds satisfy .
For , the unnormalized weight after replacing by at temperature is . These are exactly the unnormalized masses for . The two updates have the same finite positive normalizer by step 1.1, so their values on both singletons, and hence on every subset of , agree.
Because and , the real numbers and differ. Injectivity in [F5] makes their exponentials different. Multiplication by the fixed positive factor preserves that difference, so step 2.1 gives distinct odds. On a two-point probability space the odds determine both singleton masses; therefore .
