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.
Finite-projection convergence and posterior tail control imply weak BvM
Statement
Let be data-indexed probability measures on and let be a fixed probability measure on this space. For the projections of The multiscale coefficient space is separable and has vanishing projection tails, suppose that for every fixed , in probability, and that for every , Then in probability.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The norm and projections, the bounded-Lipschitz metric, and the finite-projection and posterior-tail assumptions in the Statement.
Little-o multiscale coefficient space M0(w): has the weighted supremum norm and consists of coefficient sequences whose normalized level maxima vanish.
Continuity from above when one set has finite measure: if measurable sets decrease and the first has finite measure, their measures decrease to the measure of their intersection.
Proof
For any probability measure on and any bounded -Lipschitz function , . Splitting at and taking the supremum over such gives . Applying this to and , then using the triangle inequality, bounds by the two projection errors and the fixed- distance between projected laws.
For each , [F2] gives . Thus the events decrease to the empty set, and [F3] makes their -probabilities tend to zero. Given any target error, first choose small, then choose large so this -tail and the limiting posterior-tail probability are small; for that fixed , the projected-law distance tends to zero in probability by assumption. Step 1.1 then implies in probability.

Dependency tree · two levels
7 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.
