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.

Boone halting cleanup through an empty right tape

Example

For any tape symbols a,bS, including a=b=s0, the augmented stopping configuration haq0bh has the cleanup haq0bhhaq0hhq0hq. The middle two words have empty right tape.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Tape symbols a,bS and the displayed stopping configuration. No reachability from a particular input is claimed.

[F1]

Cleanup relations are q0s=q0, sq0h=q0h for sS, and hq0h=q. Stopping configurations may have empty right tape. (Boone machine semigroup and augmented configurations)

Verification

1.1

Substitute q0b=q0 with prefix ha and suffix h. The result is haq0h, whose left tape is the one-letter word a and whose right tape is empty. It is augmented because its state is q0.

F1given
2.1

Substitute aq0h=q0h with prefix h. The result is hq0h, with both tape contexts empty and the same stopping state.

F1step 1.1
3.1

Substitute hq0h=q with both contexts empty. This produces the terminal augmented word q. Each preceding word had one state and the two outer markers; this last rule removes the markers. The three substitutions remain valid for a=b=s0, giving a concrete all-blank instance. Thus requiring nonempty right tape throughout cleanup would exclude the explicitly reached middle words.

Dependency tree · two levels

5 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.
