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.

Bose's construction at order 9 gives a Steiner triple system on nine points

Example

For m=1, Bose's construction has n=3 and point set (Z/3)×(Z/3). Since xy=2(x+y) in Z/3, the twelve blocks are {(0,0),(0,1),(0,2)}, {(1,0),(1,1),(1,2)}, {(2,0),(2,1),(2,2)}, {(0,0),(1,0),(2,1)}, {(0,1),(1,1),(2,2)}, {(0,2),(1,2),(2,0)}, {(0,0),(2,0),(1,1)}, {(0,1),(2,1),(1,2)}, {(0,2),(2,2),(1,0)}, {(1,0),(2,0),(0,1)}, {(1,1),(2,1),(0,2)}, {(1,2),(2,2),(0,0)}.

The first three displayed blocks are the vertical blocks Vx, and the remaining nine are the blocks Bx,y,i for the three unordered pairs {0,1}, {0,2}, and {1,2} and the three layers iZ/3.

Theorem Bose's construction gives a Steiner triple system of order 6m+3 for m1 therefore applies verbatim and shows that these twelve blocks form a Steiner triple system on nine points.

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
