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.
Computing by the Euclidean Jacobi algorithm
Example
The Euclidean Jacobi algorithm (The Euclidean algorithm computes the Jacobi symbol without factoring the denominator) evaluates
without factoring . Its states are
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The initial pair with odd positive denominator.
The Euclidean Jacobi algorithm terminates and returns without factoring the odd denominator (The Euclidean algorithm computes the Jacobi symbol without factoring the denominator).
Verification
The divisions and sign updates are , , , , and . The first swap has no sign change, removing either square power of has no sign change, and the swap of and changes the sign because both are modulo ; the next denominator is . After each complete update, these calculations give exactly the displayed state sequence.
The terminal sign is , and [L1] identifies it with . No factorisation of occurs in step 1.1.
