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 singular line law has a smooth positive-time density
Example
Let be one-dimensional Lebesgue measure and define for every Borel . The box measure formula gives , so is a Borel probability supported on . Let be continuously differentiable with and set . For every , the Gaussian convolution of has the density
The initial law is singular with respect to two-dimensional Lebesgue measure, meaning it assigns mass one to a Borel set of planar Lebesgue measure zero, while is strictly positive and infinitely differentiable in for each .

The full Axiom of Choice is inherited from the Gaussian smoothing and probability interfaces. The Axiom of Choice
Countable Choice is assumed by the box-measure theorem used below; the item's SDE and smoothing interfaces also carry the stronger Full AC assumption. The Axiom of Countable Choice ()

The law of a measurable map is its pushforward probability measure. Law or distribution of a random element
Proof
Given: The example's random vector and the Gaussian smoothing setup.
The map is continuous and hence Borel measurable; [F4] makes the formula in the statement its pushforward measure, and [A2, F3] give its total mass . It assigns mass one to the Borel segment . For each integer , the segment lies in the rectangle , whose Lebesgue area is by [F3]. Therefore its outer measure is at most for every , hence its Lebesgue measure is zero. Since and Lebesgue measure of is zero, is singular with respect to two-dimensional Lebesgue measure.
Applying the convolution formula [F1] to gives . In dimension two, , which is the displayed expression. The integrand is strictly positive for every , so its integral over a unit interval is strictly positive; [F2] gives infinite spatial differentiability for every . Thus the initial singularity does not prevent positive-time smoothing.
