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.
A prescribed set of present and absent edges in has product probability
Statement
In , let and be disjoint sets of possible edges, with and . The probability that every edge of is present and every edge of is absent is In particular, a fixed labelled graph with edges has probability .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: and disjoint prescribed edge sets .
Coordinate events in a finite product probability space are mutually independent (Product weights normalize, and coordinate events are mutually independent).
has independent Bernoulli coordinates indexed by the possible edges (The Erdős-Rényi finite random graph ).
There are possible edges on (The set of -element subsets and the binomial coefficient ).
Proof
Each required-present coordinate has probability and each required-absent coordinate has probability .
Mutual independence factors the joint probability as . This remains valid for empty prescriptions and for .
For a fixed graph, take its edges as and the remaining possible edges as .

Dependency tree · two levels
18 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.
