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.
Exact correctness for promise tasks
Definition
For a decision task from QA task and promise domain, a solver is exact if its normalized output law assigns probability one to yes on every encoded and probability one to no on every encoded . For a search task from the same definition, it is exact if, for every encoded , its normalized output law assigns probability one to outputs satisfying . These are per-instance requirements; no correctness is asserted outside the promise.
The solver is one of the quantum algorithms in Quantum query algorithm or classical algorithms in Classical query algorithm. For a quantum solver, its output weights are the normalized finite-branch law of Normalized output law for finite quantum query branches. For a randomized classical solver, they are the probabilities induced by its declared finite random-tape law. Exactness does not follow merely from a circuit or algorithm description; it is a condition on its output law.

Dependency tree · two levels
33 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.
