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 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 has exactly input nodes labeled in and polynomially many nodes as a function of . The family is logspace-uniform when a deterministic read-only-input logspace transducer, on input and a query with binary node indices of length , halts and answers the size, gate-type (including input labels and constant values), and predecessor queries for the topologically numbered encoding of , 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.
