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.
Simon injectivity decision promise with XOR-oracle access
Definition
Fix and put , with coordinatewise addition over and cardinality . For , define the dot product . A table code consists of a unary header followed by the -bit words in lexicographic order of ; this identifies function instances with binary strings as in Promise problem, Finite fields and their order, and Big-endian encoding of ordered bit strings.
The YES promise set consists of table codes of injective maps . The NO promise set consists of codes for which there is a nonzero such that, for every ,
The sets are disjoint: every NO function has a collision between the distinct inputs and . Its mask is unique, since two different nonzero masks would give a third distinct input in the same fiber. Classical query access returns at a chosen address. Quantum query access is the coherent XOR oracle of Coherent XOR function oracle, which is unitary and involutive by A total Boolean XOR oracle is unitary and involutive. Each call is one query; query charges remain separate from ordinary gate costs by Circuit-family and computation cost model. In the query model the table is not supplied as gate data; the table code fixes the promised function only.

Dependency tree · two levels
27 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.
