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.
The longest-suffix prefix automaton for a finite set of forbidden factors
Definition
Let be a finite alphabet and let be a finite nonempty set of nonempty words over . With as in Finite words, contiguous factors, avoidance and proper-prefix states, the prefix automaton for has state set , initial state , and the following transitions.
For and , reject the letter if the concatenation contains a factor in . Otherwise define to be the longest suffix of that belongs to , and put an edge labelled from to . This state exists because , and it is unique because suffixes of distinct lengths are distinct.
For enumeration, give every edge weight over . Different letters that induce the same transition remain parallel edges, so the associated transfer-matrix entry is the number of such letters.
