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 two-premise formal deduction

Example

In the signature with unary relations P,Q, write A=x(P(x)Q(x)), B=xP(x) and C=xQ(x). From the two sentence assumptions A,B derive C, and then discharge either assumption.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The displayed signature and sentences A,B,C.

[F1]

The sentence deduction theorem discharges an assumed sentence and permits MP in the reverse direction. (Deduction theorem for sentence assumptions)

[F2]

Universal instantiation, MP and generalization are rules of the fixed calculus. (Formal proofs from sentence theories)

Verification

1.1

The annotated derivation is: line 0: A (assumption); line 1: A(P(x)Q(x)) (universal instantiation); line 2: P(x)Q(x) (MP on 0,1); line 3: B (assumption); line 4: BP(x) (universal instantiation); line 5: P(x) (MP on 3,4); line 6: Q(x) (MP on 5,2); line 7: xQ(x)=C (generalization). Both substitutions are x/x, which is free-for, and both assumptions are sentences, so generalization has no free-assumption obstruction.

F2
2.1

Apply F1 to that eight-line proof to obtain {A}BC and, discharging A instead, {B}AC. Discharge the remaining sentence in the first proof to obtain A(BC). Thus the example displays a derivation and its actual discharged conclusions.

Dependency tree · two levels

7 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.
