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.
Agreement on overlap is insufficient for specialization compatibility
Example
In an Aronszajn tree choose nodes . The singleton conditions and agree on their empty overlap but are incompatible in . Replacing by makes them compatible, with common extension .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An Aronszajn tree and . Such a pair exists: height supplies a node with nonzero predecessor order type and hence a predecessor.
Singleton assignments are specializing conditions, and two conditions are compatible iff their union is a specializing function. Finite specializing conditions
Verification
Each of has one-node domain, so there is no distinct comparable pair within its domain and F1 makes it a condition. Since , the nodes are distinct; each intersection of the domain of with that of or is empty, so the functions agree on overlap. But violates the required inequality on . Thus is not a condition and F1 makes incompatible.
The function has finite domain and its only unordered pair of distinct nodes has labels . Therefore it is a specializing condition and , so . This is the explicit common bound verifying compatibility.

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.
