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 logspace-uniform Boolean circuit family

Definition

A Boolean circuit is a finite directed acyclic graph with numbered input nodes, constant nodes, and gates from the fixed basis {AND,OR,NOT}; AND and OR gates have two predecessors, NOT gates have one, and constants have values zero or one. Its output is one designated node. A family (Cn)n0 has exactly n input nodes labeled x1,,xn in Cn and polynomially many nodes as a function of n+2. The family is logspace-uniform when a deterministic read-only-input logspace transducer, on input 1n and a query with binary node indices of length O(log(n+2)), halts and answers the size, gate-type (including input labels and constant values), and predecessor queries for the topologically numbered encoding of Cn, and answers which numbered gate is the designated output. In particular, it can stream that polynomial-length encoding without storing it.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
