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 one-nearest-neighbor graph can disconnect finite ISOMAP
Example
Let , , , and in , use , and symmetrize by union. The resulting undirected neighbor graph has exactly the two edges and , so it is disconnected. ISOMAP therefore returns its disconnected status and does not form finite all-pairs graph distances.
The diagram shows the two union-graph components; labels are the sample indices.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The four stated real points, , union symmetrization, and the ISOMAP connected-graph condition.
The nearest-neighbor order is by , and union edges are included when either endpoint selects the other (Deterministic finite nearest-neighbor lists and graph symmetrizations).
ISOMAP returns a disconnected status and does not claim finite all-pairs graph distances when its graph is disconnected (Finite ISOMAP with deterministic neighborhoods and connected-graph shortest paths).
Verification
The nearest neighbor of and is each other at distance ; the nearest neighbor of and is each other at distance . Every distance between the two pairs is at least , so no cross-pair edge is selected. By [F1], the union graph has exactly the two edges and .
The graph in step 1.1 has two connected components, so [F2] returns the disconnected status; a path between either cross-component pair does not exist, and the algorithm does not produce a finite all-pairs graph-distance matrix.

Dependency tree · two levels
3 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.
