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.
NumberSAT
Definition
A Boolean formula is a finite expression built from variables, the constants , and the connectives . Under an assignment of zeros and ones to its variables, evaluate constants as one and zero, negation as complementation, conjunction as minimum, and disjunction as maximum. An assignment satisfies the formula when its value is one. Fix an effective binary encoding of these expression trees and finite lists of variable names.
An input to is well formed when it encodes a Boolean formula together with an ordered list of distinct variables and every variable occurring in appears in that list. Its value is the exact number of assignments that satisfy . Declared variables count even when unused, so the count ranges over all assignments to the list. Every input not having this form is malformed and has value zero.
