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.

Partial feature flows have exact energy and weight-moment identities

Statement

Assume AC. Let Θ be either all of Rq or the compact closure of a nonempty bounded convex Euclidean domain and let ϕ:Θ→H and W:Θ→[0,∞) be bounded C1,1 maps, with H separable Hilbert. Put Φ(w,θ)=wϕ(θ), V(w,θ)=∣w∣W(θ), and assume the feature-energy hypotheses and the prescribed differentiable risk R≥0. Let μt be any flow in the feature-energy Wasserstein definition. Write mt=∫wϕ(θ)dμt, ft=∇R(mt), Pt=∫∣w∣W(θ)dμt, S(t)=∫w2dμt and A(t)=∫∣vt∣2dμt. On every finite interval these quantities have continuous or absolutely continuous representatives as appropriate, and F(μt)−F(μs)=−∫stA(q)dq,S(t)−S(s)=−2∫st(⟨fq,mq⟩+Pq)dq. These identities hold at every finite pair of endpoints. In particular F(μt)≤E0:=F(μ0)<∞ and ∫0∞A(t)dt≤E0. If sup⁡t≥0∥mt∥≤M, then, with D=sup⁡R(z)≤E0∥∇R(z)∥, 0≤S(t)≤S(0)+2(DM+E0)t. No bounded-support assumption on the initial weights is required.

The first derivatives of ϕ,W are bounded. This follows from compactness for bounded Θ; on the full Euclidean domain, boundedness and Lipschitz differential imply ∥Dϕ(θ)e∥≤2∥ϕ∥∞+Lip⁡(Dϕ)/2 for unit e, by Taylor's inequality on a unit segment. The scalar bound is identical. On a finite horizon, W2 continuity bounds the second moments of μt. Coupling Cauchy–Schwarz and ∥wϕ(θ)−w′ϕ(θ′)∥≤∥ϕ∥∞∣w−w′∣+∥Dϕ∥∞∣w′∣ ∣θ−θ′∣ show norm continuity of mt; hence ft is bounded and continuous there.

Apply [F1]. Along almost every path, the derivative of wϕ(θ) is w′ϕ(θ)+wDϕθθ′, with norm at most C(1+∣w∣)∣v∣. Its path/time integral is finite by the uniform second-moment bound and Cauchy–Schwarz. The same bound controls the derivative of ∣w∣W(θ). For a real AC path, its derivative is zero almost everywhere on its zero set: at a differentiability point with nonzero derivative that zero is isolated, and isolated zeroes form a countable set. Thus the formula (∣w∣)′=sign⁡(w)w′ with sign zero set to zero holds almost everywhere. Integrating the pathwise FTC and using Fubini gives AC representatives of mt,Pt with the integrated derivatives. Their time derivatives are bounded by C(1+S(t))A(t), hence are in L2 on finite intervals; [F3] identifies the norm derivative of mt.

3.1F1F2F3step 2.1

Compose the AC moment with R: its differential is bounded on the compact image of the continuous moment path on the finite interval, so the composition is AC, and the ordinary Fréchet difference quotient gives derivative ⟨ft,mt′⟩ almost everywhere. Pair the inclusion [F2] with the characteristic velocity. At w≠0 the potential derivatives are ∂wPt=⟨ft,ϕ⟩+sign⁡(w)W and ∇θPt=wDϕ∗ft+∣w∣∇W. Any domain normal n satisfies n⋅θ′=0 at two-sided differentiability times: test its normal inequality against θ(t+h) for both signs of h. At w=0 the angular velocity is zero, and step 2.1 gives w′=0 almost everywhere on that zero set. The cusp and normal contributions therefore have zero pairing. The chain rule from step 2.1 yields F′(t)=−∫(∣w′∣2+∣θ′∣2)dμt=−A(t) almost everywhere. The established AC representative gives the first identity at all endpoints. Nonnegativity of R,V gives F≤E0 and ∫0∞A≤E0.

4.1F1F2F3F4step 3.1∎

Off w=0, the unconstrained weight equation is w′=−⟨ft,ϕ(θ)⟩−sign⁡(w)W(θ); the theta-domain normal has no weight component. Consequently (w2)′=−2(w⟨ft,ϕ(θ)⟩+∣w∣W(θ)), also at almost every zero-set time. The product is integrable on finite intervals by Cauchy–Schwarz, the second-moment bound and bounded forcing. Integrating the pathwise identity gives the exact formula for S(t)−S(s). If moments are uniformly bounded by M, the risk-sublevel bound gives ∥ft∥≤D, and 0≤Pt≤E0. Thus ∣S′(t)∣≤2(DM+E0) almost everywhere; integrating proves the displayed linear growth bound.

Source note

The direct partial-model chain rule preserves the stationarity/escape claims for any flow in the definition. It does not apply the common-cutoff global theorem to an initial law outside its hypotheses.
