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.
Constant private-coin error reduction by repetition
Statement
If a private-coin simultaneous-message Equality protocol has worst-case error at most 1/3 and each sender sends at most c bits, then for any fixed odd t independent repetitions followed by majority have error at most exp(−t/48) and each sender sends at most t(c+1) bits under a fixed-length encoding.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A classical private-coin SMP Equality protocol whose error on every promised pair is at most , whose individual messages have length at most bits, and an odd integer . Run independent copies and output the majority decision.
A Chernoff bound for sums of independent Bernoulli trials: For independent Bernoulli variables , , , and , .
Proof
Fix a promised input. Let indicate that copy is correct. The independent private random tapes make these Bernoulli variables independent with common success probability . Thus . Since is odd, majority is wrong only if , an event contained in because .
Apply [F1] with : the error is at most . Each original message is a binary string of length at most , so has fewer than possibilities. A tuple of such messages has at most possibilities and can be injectively encoded by a fixed-length string of at most bits. Thus repetition preserves private independence, yields the stated error, and charges at most bits to each sender.

Dependency tree · two levels
12 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.
