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.
The Gaussian-mixture threshold is the stated square-root boundary
Statement
Let , , , and . Define For from Gaussian-mixture confidence-sequence boundary,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , , and .
Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm: the natural logarithm is strictly increasing on and satisfies for positive .
Square roots exist: a unique with ; the positives are : every nonnegative real has a unique nonnegative square root.
Proof
Since , applying the strictly increasing logarithm [F2] shows iff . Multiplying by and combining logarithms gives .
The ratio exceeds , so its logarithm is positive and [F3] supplies the nonnegative root in [F1]. Thus the last inequality in step 1.1 is exactly .
Depends on
- Gaussian-mixture confidence-sequence boundary
- The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function
- Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm
- Square roots exist: a unique $\sqrt{a} \ge 0$ with $(\sqrt{a})^2 = a$; the positives are $\{x^2 : x \neq 0\}$

Dependency tree · two levels
15 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.
