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.

Proof
Given: The assumptions in the Statement.
For each coordinate , set , , and . Stop at , for . These processes are continuous and adapted, and for , so is a stopping time Continuous-time stopping times and stopped sigma-algebras. The stopped process is a continuous square-integrable martingale by [F3]–[F4], its quadratic energy is bounded by , and its path supremum is bounded by . Apply [F2] to sampled on nested dyadic grids including . By [F6], the grid maxima increase to the path supremum and monotone convergence passes the discrete bounds to , where .
Apply [F1] to the stopped coordinate process. The stochastic term has mean zero because its integrand is bounded by the stopping level and has finite energy. Put . The Hessian term is bounded by , where . Therefore . For , interpret , giving . For , [F5] gives .
For , step 2.1 gives the coordinate estimate. For , if it is immediate; otherwise divide the bound in step 2.1 by and raise to the power . In both cases . Since , summing the coordinate estimates gives the required bound for the stopped vector integral with constant .
As , finite pathwise energy and continuity make eventually almost surely. By [F7], Fatou's lemma passes the uniform bound of step 3.1 to . The constant depends only on . AC is exactly the inherited assumption [A1].
