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.
Collinear and duplicate sites return a canonical chain
Statement
For unweighted sites with distinct ids at , duplicate collapse retains the least id at , and the affine-dimension-one output is the ordered two-edge chain from to .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The four listed exact dyadic coordinates, stable identifiers in that order, and unweighted duplicate handling.
Finite indexed geometric site sets and duplicate handling: unweighted duplicates are equal coordinates and each class retains its least identifier.
Planar triangulations, Delaunay structures, and Voronoi cells: an affine-dimension-one set is sorted by the first varying coordinate and joined consecutively, with no triangles.
Exact planar insertion terminates with a weak empty-circle triangulation: the lower-dimensional branch returns the defined chain.
A planar triangulation has linearly many triangles and edges: the planar triangle-count theorem assumes affine dimension two and makes no claim on this branch.
The coordinate list is exactly the stated finite input, and its first varying coordinate is .
Proof
The two entries at form one unweighted duplicate class by [F1]. Their identifiers are and , so the retained representative has id and id is recorded as discarded. The deduplicated coordinates are .
These three distinct points lie on the horizontal line and are not all equal, so their affine dimension is exactly one. Sorting by gives the displayed order, and [F2] joins consecutive points, yielding edges and .
The output has no triangles because the affine dimension is one; the algorithm therefore uses the branch of [F3], while the affine-dimension-two premise of [F4] does not apply.

Dependency tree · two levels
14 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.
