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.
Sparse Hamiltonian row and value oracles
Definition
Fix , a sparsity bound , an integer , and an injective code for a finite set containing and closed under conjugation. Put and , identify with the first strings in , and regard any remaining strings as invalid labels. A valid -bit index is zero-extended to bits. Let be Hermitian, have entries in , and have at most nonzero entries in every row. For each valid row , list its nonzero column indices in increasing order. Define the total location function to be the -th listed index for a valid slot when that slot exists, and a distinguished sentinel otherwise. Invalid row labels and invalid slot labels also return the sentinel. Encode the sentinel by a fixed -bit word outside the valid index codes. Define the total value function to return on valid labels and on invalid labels. All label widths and codes are part of the finite input description.
The row-location oracle and entry-value oracle are the coherent XOR maps and , where the output target has respectively and bits. The slot register has bits; all unused slot strings are invalid and use the sentinel. These are total Boolean-function oracles on every bitstring basis input. They are instances of Coherent XOR function oracle, whose justified-by supplier proves unitarity and involutivity for arbitrary total functions. Each named call and any separately granted controlled or inverse call is charged under Circuit-family and computation cost model. This exact-code model describes the decoded matrix ; approximating a different target matrix requires a separate bound on the matrix difference. Row and value access alone does not supply a term list or term-evolution circuits.
