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 binary split preserves first moment and increases number by one
Statement
For a parent of size , let its expected daughters be one cluster of size and one of size . The event removes one parent and adds two daughters, so number increases by one and mass is unchanged.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite fragmentation event convention with daughter counts and all other .
Finite discrete coagulation and fragmentation with a mass reservoir: one fragmentation event has increment and requires .
Stoichiometric number and mass changes for finite coagulation and fragmentation events: a fragmentation event changes number by and mass by zero.
Proof
The daughter mass sum is , so this daughter law satisfies the required parent-mass normalization in [F1].
Its number increment is . Its mass increment is , agreeing with [F2].

Dependency tree · one level
2 results within one dependency step 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.
