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.

Normal, oblique, and grazing impedance reflection

Example

Write q=kcos⁡θ for 0≤θ<π/2. The reflected amplitude is R(θ)=cos⁡θ−1cos⁡θ+1. It is 0 at normal incidence, equals −1/3 at θ=π/3, and tends to −1 at grazing incidence.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: k>0, 0≤θ<π/2, and the reflection theorem [F1].

[F1]

Exact plane-wave reflection coefficient of the local impedance condition: for q=kcos⁡θ>0, R=(q−k)/(q+k).

Verification

Given: k>0, 0≤θ<π/2, and [F1].

1.1F1algebra

Divide numerator and denominator of [F1] by k>0 to obtain R=(cos⁡θ−1)/(cos⁡θ+1). At θ=0, this is 0; at θ=π/3, cos⁡θ=1/2 and it is (−1/2)/(3/2)=−1/3.

2.1F1step 1.1algebra∎

As θ↑π/2, continuity of cosine gives cos⁡θ→0 and the denominator tends to 1, so R→−1 and ∣R∣→1. The endpoint is a limit; the propagating theorem assumed q>0.

Dependency tree · two levels

2 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.
