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.

Counter stream from a keyed finite permutation

Definition

Let S={0,…,2w−1} for an integer w≥1. The input is a key k, a specified bijection πk:S→S, and a counter interval [c0,c1) with integer endpoints satisfying 0≤c0≤c1≤2w. Initialize c=c0. On each call:

  1. If c=c1, return the status exhausted.
  2. Otherwise return the word πk(c) and replace c by c+1.

The procedure never wraps the counter. Different keys define different supplied permutations; their statistical relationship is not specified by this interface. A fixed key and counter interval define a deterministic stream. Any random-key model or computational pseudorandomness guarantee must be stated separately.

Remarks

The bijection assumption is an input contract. This definition supplies no cryptographic claim and no IID theorem. Dividing the counter range into disjoint intervals prevents exact reuse within one fixed key because each counter is used once.
