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 dark bin of positive length has positive coherent probability

Example

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Work on D=R/Z identified with [0,1) and Lebesgue measure, and take the two normalized amplitudes a(x):=1,b(x):=e2πix(x∈[0,1)), so that ∥a∥=∥b∥=1 in L2(D) and ∣a(x)+b(x)∣2=2+2cos⁡(2πx) (The complex exponential by its power series, The addition formulas for sine and cosine). Then:

(a) the coherent law of Coherent and incoherent two-path bin laws and the marker overlap is pcoh(B)=∫B(1+cos⁡(2πx))dx for every measurable B⊆[0,1), and pmix(B)=∣B∣ for the balanced incoherent law w=12, where ∣B∣ is Lebesgue measure; in particular pcoh(B)≤pmix(B) on bins where the cosine is negative on average;

(b) the density 1+cos⁡(2πx) vanishes at the single point x0=12, the ideal dark point; nevertheless for every ε∈(0,12) the symmetric dark bin Bε=(12−ε,12+ε) has pcoh(Bε)=2ε−sin⁡(2πε)π=4π23ε3+O(ε5)>0, so a bin of positive length containing the dark point is not forbidden;

(c) for the same bin pmix(Bε)=2ε, so pcoh(Bε)<pmix(Bε) and the two specified probability measures assign different probabilities to this bin. This is a comparison of bin probabilities only; no claim about individual observations is made.

The example is a computation in the specified two-amplitude model; it asserts no detector law, no measured counts and no empirical conclusion.

Verification

Given: the amplitudes a=1, b(x)=e2πix on [0,1) and bins Bε as above.

Proof technique: direct evaluation of the two bin laws and of the elementary integral ∫cos⁡(2πx)dx, together with the pointwise vanishing of the density at x0=12.

[F1] ∥a+b∥2=∫01∣1+e2πix∣2dx and, for every measurable bin B, pcoh(B)=∥a+b∥−2∫B∣a+b∣2; for unit a,b the balanced incoherent law is pmix(B)=12∫B∣a∣2+12∫B∣b∣2 (Coherent and incoherent two-path bin laws and the marker overlap clauses (a), (b)).

[F2] Euler's formula gives e2πix=cos⁡(2πx)+isin⁡(2πx), hence 1+cos⁡(2πx)=12∣1+e2πix∣2≥0 (exp⁡(x+iy)=ex(cos⁡y+isin⁡y), ∣exp⁡(x+iy)∣=ex, and eiπ+1=0). The fibre theorem says e2πix=−1=eiπ exactly when x=12+n for n∈Z, so the density vanishes on [0,1) only at x0=12 (ker⁡(exp⁡)=2πiZ, and exp⁡z=exp⁡w exactly when z−w∈2πiZ). Also ∫01cos⁡(2πx)dx=0, and ddxsin⁡(2πx)=2πcos⁡(2πx) with sin⁡(π±θ)=∓sin⁡θ for the second fundamental theorem of calculus applied to the continuous primitive sin⁡(2πx)2π (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, The addition formulas for sine and cosine, Every continuous function on an interval has a primitive; two primitives differ by a constant; and ∫abf=G(b)−G(a) for any primitive G).

[The two laws] By [F2], ∥a+b∥2=∫01(2+2cos⁡(2πx))dx=2, so pcoh(B)=12∫B(2+2cos⁡(2πx))dx=∫B(1+cos⁡(2πx))dx by [F1]. Since ∣a∣=∣b∣=1, pmix(B)=12∣B∣+12∣B∣=∣B∣. This is (a).

[The dark point and the dark bin] The density 1+cos⁡(2πx) equals 1+cos⁡π=0 at x0=12, a single point of Lebesgue measure zero. For 0<ε<12, [F2] gives ∫1/2−ε1/2+εcos⁡(2πx)dx=sin⁡(2πx)2π∣1/2−ε1/2+ε=sin⁡(π+2πε)−sin⁡(π−2πε)2π=−sin⁡(2πε)−sin⁡(2πε)2π=−sin⁡(2πε)π, so pcoh(Bε)=2ε−sin⁡(2πε)π. By [F2], 1+cos⁡(2πx) is nonnegative and vanishes on [0,1) only at x=12. The point x∗:=12+ε2 lies inside Bε and the density is positive there; continuity (A function differentiable at c is continuous at c) gives a subinterval of positive length on which it is bounded below by a positive constant, so the bin probability is strictly positive; the Taylor expansion of sin⁡ gives 2ε−sin⁡(2πε)π=(2πε)36π+O(ε5)=4π23ε3+O(ε5). This is (b).

[Comparison and scope] By step 1.1, pmix(Bε)=2ε, and 0<2πε<π implies sin⁡(2πε)>0 by Pi is the first positive zero of sine, so the exact formula of step 2.1 gives pcoh(Bε)<pmix(Bε); this is (c). The statements are properties of the two computed bin laws on the specified amplitudes, and no observed frequency is claimed.
