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.

A centered pressure flux and centered bed source move a discrete lake

Statement refuted

On a periodic three-cell grid, the central physical-flux rule F^i+1/2=(F(Ui)+F(Ui+1))/2 with centered bed source (0,−ghi(bi+1−bi−1)/(2Δx)) preserves every lake-at-rest state under the update Ui+=Ui−ΔtΔx(F^i+1/2−F^i−1/2)+Δt(0,−ghi(bi+1−bi−1)2Δx).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The periodic central-flux/centered-source update in the refuted statement, Δx=g=1, any Δt>0, bed values (b0,b1,b2)=(0,1/2,0), and states mi=0, hi=1−bi=(1,1/2,1). These are admissible lake-at-rest data with level η0=1 under One-dimensional shallow-water balance law with a dry-state convention. Show one updated momentum is nonzero.

[F1]

One-dimensional shallow-water balance law with a dry-state convention: for a wet rest state, mi=0, hi+bi=η0, and the momentum flux is ghi2/2.

Counterexample

1.1givenF1algebra

The pressure values are p0=1/2, p1=1/8, and p2=1/2 by [F1]. Thus the central right and left momentum fluxes at cell 0 are F^1/2m=(p0+p1)/2=5/16 and F^−1/2m=(p2+p0)/2=1/2.

2.1givenstep 1.1algebra∎

The central-flux contribution to m0+ is −Δt(5/16−1/2)=3Δt/16. The centered source contributes −Δt h0(b1−b2)/2=−Δt/4=−4Δt/16. Therefore m0+=−Δt/16≠0, so the stated update moves this lake and the universal preservation claim is false.
