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.

Bounded representatives for x27y2=57

Example

For x27y2=57, the orbit bound reduces the search to the finite box x16.02,y6.06. Inside that box the solutions are

±(8+7), ±(87), ±(13+47), ±(1347).

Thus every integral solution lies in one of the eight Pell orbits represented by

±(8+7),±(87),±(13+47),±(1347).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The equation x27y2=57.

[F1]

Every solution is Pell-equivalent to one in an explicit bounded rectangle (Generalized Pell solutions fall into finitely many Pell orbits).

[F2]

The bounded-rectangle search decides solubility and produces orbit representatives (Generalized Pell solubility is decidable by bounded search).

1.1

The least positive norm-one solution for D=7 is 8+37, since 82732=1 and the smaller positive values y=1,2 give x2=8,29, neither a square. Substituting ε7=8+37 and N=57 into [F1] gives x0572(8+37+(8+37)1/2)<17, y05727(8+37+(8+37)1/2)<7.

2.1

By [F2], it is enough to enumerate solutions in that finite box. The integer solutions there are exactly (±8,±1) and (±13,±4), because 82712=57,132742=57, and no other pair with x16, y6 satisfies the equation. To compare their Pell orbits, note that every nonzero power of ε7=8+37 has absolute value either at least ε7 or at most ε71. But among the eight displayed solutions, every quotient of two distinct positive representatives has absolute value between 8713+47and13+4787, and this interval lies strictly inside (ε71,ε7). So no ratio of two distinct displayed solutions is a power of ε7, and negative ratios are impossible because every power of ε7 is positive. Therefore these eight boxed solutions represent eight distinct Pell orbits.
