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 shell support versus canonical Gaussian tails
Two operationally indistinguishable particles in a three-dimensional spherical-shell preparation compared with the matched-mean canonical ideal gas, conditional on Countable Choice for the marginal theorem; exact distributions only.
Example
Assume as required by Finite spherical-shell gas and its exact marginal, and use its one-species rectangular-box model. Take , , , mass in kg, and energy in joules, so the momentum radius is in kg m s. A uniformly selected particle's three-momentum block () under the shell preparation has density and zero for . A canonical ideal gas with in J has the same mean total energy but assigns positive probability to the annulus for the uniformly selected particle's momentum .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , the one-species rectangular-box shell theorem Finite spherical-shell gas and its exact marginal with , and the matched-mean canonical ideal-gas theorem Exact canonical and grand ideal-gas preparations.
Finite spherical-shell gas and its exact marginal: assuming , the uniformly selected particle's -block shell marginal has density , concentrated in the closed radius- ball with no boundary atom for , and matches the canonical mean total energy.
Exact canonical and grand ideal-gas preparations: in the massive canonical model each momentum component has a Gaussian density with positive variance , hence the vector density is strictly positive on all of .
Gaussian, gamma and beta product integrals: and , so and .
Choose , , and in the one-species model.
Verification
Substituting into [F1] gives exponent and coefficient using [F3]. This is the displayed density.
The shell block has probability zero outside the radius- ball by [F1]. The canonical Gaussian vector density from [F2] is positive throughout the nonempty annulus , which has positive volume, so that event has positive canonical probability for a uniformly selected particle. Therefore the two finite momentum marginals differ.
Remarks
All distributions here are model predictions under their stated preparations. No observed counts or fitted parameters are involved.
