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 one-step scalar Kalman update
Example
Take a one-step scalar model with , transition for , and observation for , with the three Gaussian variables independent. At the observation , the predicted law is , the innovation variance is , the gain is , and the selected filtering-kernel value is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC and the stated independent-noise linear-Gaussian model.
AC is assumed through the Gaussian model and conditional-law theorem. The Axiom of Choice.
Under AC, the Kalman recursion with positive innovation covariance defines an everywhere filtering-kernel version of the exact conditional state law. The finite-horizon linear-Gaussian Kalman filter is exact.
The model permits singular positive-semidefinite initial, process, and measurement covariances with mutually independent centered Gaussian noises. Linear-Gaussian state-space models with independent noises.
Every positive-semidefinite covariance defines a multivariate-normal law under AC. Multivariate normal law, including singular covariance.
Verification
Set , , , and . The covariances are positive semidefinite and the noises satisfy [F2]. The prediction is and . Thus , and for the innovation is .
Solving the scalar innovation system gives . Therefore and . By [F1], the selected conditional-law version at is exactly .

Dependency tree · two levels
34 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.
