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.
Single-mode Bose and Fermi occupation fluctuations

For , the bosonic geometric law on with weights has mean and variance ; its relative standard deviation, defined as , tends to as . The fermionic two-state law on with weights and has mean and variance . Here Bose and Fermi name these explicitly specified counting laws; no claim about a physical preparation is made.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The geometric and two-state laws with .
The bosonic states are with weights proportional to ; the fermionic states are with weights proportional to .
Countable canonical model and Summable canonical differentiation: countable canonical weights normalize when the partition sum is finite, and under the envelope the mean and variance follow from derivatives of .
Finite probability spaces, outcome weights, events, and event probabilities, Expectation of a real random variable on a finite probability space, and Variance, standard deviation, and covariance on a finite probability space: finite laws normalize and define means and variances by finite sums.
The chain rule, in one line from Carathéodory: if is differentiable at and is differentiable at , then is differentiable at with : derivatives of the parameterized exponential and logarithm compositions obey the chain rule.

Proof
Given: The geometric and two-state laws with .
Let . Multiplying this finite sum by gives . Since for , [F5] gives ; hence and the weights sum to one. On a compact -interval , set . Then . Choose with ; for all sufficiently large , , so the tail is bounded by a convergent geometric series. Thus , which is the local envelope required by [F1].
The fermionic partition sum is ; its two probabilities are and . Their finite weighted sums give mean and variance , equal to the mean times one minus the mean.
With , [F1] gives and . Substitution and [F4] justify the parameter derivatives. Therefore as .
These are calculations for the two specified probability laws only; no independence, physical preparation, or measured fluctuation claim is used.
