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.
Check a finite rack table and enumerate diagram colorings
Definition
Input an integer , a candidate table represented by a finite list of finite lists of integers, with each entry intended to be on , a mode "rack" or "quandle", a finite regular oriented link diagram with arcs and crossings, and fixed finite orderings of its arcs and crossings. Read the row count and every row length. If does not have exactly rows of length , return invalid-table-shape with its row count and vector of row lengths. Otherwise scan entries in row-major order; if an entry is outside , return invalid-table-entry with the first such row, column, and value. If the table format passes, perform these checks in order:
- For each , check whether the column is a permutation of . If not, return right-translation-not-bijective with , a repeated value and a missing value.
- For each ordered triple in lexicographic order, check . If not, return self-distributivity-fails with and both table values.
- In quandle mode, check for each in increasing order. If not, return idempotency-fails with and .
If the selected axioms pass, enumerate the functions from the supplied ordered arcs of to in lexicographic order. Retain an assignment exactly when it satisfies the crossing rule in the rack/quandle Definition, using the inverse column permutation when the rule calls for the right division. Return the retained assignments and their number. No correctness or complexity claim is part of this algorithm's Definition.

Dependency tree · two levels
7 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
