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.
Binary necklaces of length from both and Burnside's lemma
Example
There are binary necklaces of length .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The necklace count (The number of necklaces of length on an -letter alphabet is ).
Burnside's lemma counts orbits by averaging fixed points (Cauchy-Frobenius orbit counting: for a finite group action).
Verification
The corollary with and gives .
Burnside gives the same value. The six rotations of a -bead necklace fix colourings respectively, since the numbers of position-orbits are . Their average is .
The cycle-construction count and the direct Burnside count therefore agree at length .

Dependency tree · two levels
10 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.
