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.
Reversible binary dot-product query
Definition
Input: An integer , ordered -bit registers , a one-bit target , and one distinct clean work bit .
Output: The reversible map
Gate model: Use an operation model whose declared finite nonoracle gate alphabet contains and permits Toffoli and CNOT as callable gates; each listed occurrence counts once under Finite circuit resource accounting. This procedure makes no black-box oracle call.
Instructions: For , apply Toffoli with controls and target . Apply CNOT from to . Then apply those same Toffoli gates in reverse order, from down to . All gates act on the ordered computational-basis registers of Finite registers and their ordered computational bases; their basis actions are fixed in Toffoli and Fredkin gates and CNOT and Control-Target Order. For , the forward and reverse loops are empty and the XOR fold is .
The procedure uses Toffoli occurrences and one CNOT occurrence, with one clean work bit. It has no failure branch.

Dependency tree · two levels
34 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.
