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 complex measure is a finite-valued countably additive set function

Definition

Let $(X, A)$ be a measurable space. A complex measure on $(X, A)$ is a function $ν : A ⟶ C$ such that:

$ν (\emptyset) = 0$ ;
for every pairwise disjoint sequence $(E_{n})_{n \in N}$ in $A$ , $ν (⋃_{n \in N} E_{n}) = \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} ν (E_{n})$ in $C$ .

The codomain is the field $C$ ( $C = R [x] / (x^{2} + 1)$ is a field, every element is uniquely $a + b i$ , and every nonzero element has inverse $(a - b i) / (a^{2} + b^{2})$ ), so a complex measure is finite-valued by definition: there is no complex number called $+ \infty$ or $- \infty$ to allow.
