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 ()). Work on identified with and Lebesgue measure, and take the two normalized amplitudes so that in and (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 for every measurable , and for the balanced incoherent law , where is Lebesgue measure; in particular on bins where the cosine is negative on average;
(b) the density vanishes at the single point , the ideal dark point; nevertheless for every the symmetric dark bin has so a bin of positive length containing the dark point is not forbidden;
(c) for the same bin , so 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 , on and bins as above.
Proof technique: direct evaluation of the two bin laws and of the elementary integral , together with the pointwise vanishing of the density at .
[F1] and, for every measurable bin , ; for unit the balanced incoherent law is (Coherent and incoherent two-path bin laws and the marker overlap clauses (a), (b)).
[F2] Euler's formula gives , hence (, , and ). The fibre theorem says exactly when for , so the density vanishes on only at (, and exactly when ). Also , and with for the second fundamental theorem of calculus applied to the continuous primitive (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 for any primitive ).
[The two laws] By [F2], , so by [F1]. Since , . This is (a).
[The dark point and the dark bin] The density equals at , a single point of Lebesgue measure zero. For , [F2] gives , so . By [F2], is nonnegative and vanishes on only at . The point lies inside and the density is positive there; continuity (A function differentiable at is continuous at ) 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 gives . This is (b).
[Comparison and scope] By step 1.1, , and implies by Pi is the first positive zero of sine, so the exact formula of step 2.1 gives ; this is (c). The statements are properties of the two computed bin laws on the specified amplitudes, and no observed frequency is claimed.
