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.
A family containing is viral for vacuous reasons
Example
Every finite family of graphs containing is viral, but only vacuously: for no nonempty graph satisfies the required -copy bound.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite family with , a real , and a nonempty finite graph .
Virality asks for the implication in The viral property for a finite forbidden family.
counts the induced embeddings of the one-vertex graph in (The induced-embedding count , Empty and complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs, and the convention that and have vertices).
For a positive base, ; the logarithm and exponential are strictly increasing, and the exponential is positive (Real powers for positive bases, with the zero-base positive-exponent convention, Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm, The exponential function is strictly increasing, The exponential is positive and satisfies ).
Verification
Each vertex of determines one induced embedding of into , so [L2] gives .
If , then gives and therefore . By [L3], , so . Thus the defining viral inequality for can hold for no nonempty graph.
Since the antecedent in [L1] has no nonempty instance, every exponent witnesses the viral implication vacuously. Therefore any finite family containing is viral.

26 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.
