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.
Logspace many-one reduction
Definition
For languages , write if a deterministic read-only-input logspace transducer computes a total function with The transducer writes once on a write-only output stream. Equivalently, there is a fixed polynomial with and a deterministic procedure which, on read-only input with in binary, uses work cells for every . It returns when and a distinct end-of-output marker exactly when ; thus the first marker occurs at position . A streaming transducer can count through positions up to , emitting bits and stopping at the first marker. Conversely, a streaming transducer can be rerun while counting output bits up to a requested position; a binary position larger than the polynomial bound can be recognized by a logspace comparison and answered with the marker. The stream's output length is polynomially bounded: since the write-only output cannot affect its future behavior and it has only polynomially many internal configurations, repeating one before halting would force an infinite run.

Dependency tree · two levels
2 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.
