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.
Controlled input-consistency reflection from a bit query
Definition
Inputs. A Boolean query problem with , promised input accessed by its standard XOR oracle, a finite work space , a one-bit control , and a data register with orthogonal decomposition where the address basis is for and is a specified unit vector orthogonal to the query summand, and one clean scratch bit . Fix a known address . Define the consistency sum
Output. A gate list for the controlled plus-on-range reflection on the data register, returning the scratch bit to zero.
Instructions. In query mode route address to the oracle and use as its target. In start mode route the oracle address to the fixed and apply a Hadamard to , so its query target is . Make one unconditional standard XOR oracle call. Apply phase exactly when , the mode is query, and the response bit differs from ; disable this phase on start and when . Make a second unconditional XOR call with the same address routing. In start mode apply the Hadamard to again. Return the data and control registers and the scratch. No controlled unknown-oracle call is invoked.

43 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.
