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.
Simple pendulum phase portrait
Example
Assume . On consider the normalized pendulum
For its energy curve describes oscillation; for its two components describe rotations in opposite directions; and is the singular separatrix through the unstable equilibrium.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: is taken modulo and .
Hamilton's equations give and . Hamilton equations in canonical cotangent coordinates.
Verification
The level equation is . Its critical points solve and : is a minimum of energy , while is a saddle of energy .
Assume . The allowed angles form a proper interval about ; the positive and negative square-root branches meet at two turning points , producing a closed oscillatory curve. By [F1], the sign of is the direction of angular travel and reverses at those endpoints.
Assume . The right-hand side is strictly positive for every . The two graphs are disjoint circles over , and [F1] gives rotation with fixed sign.
Assume . The two branches meet at the saddle and form the homoclinic separatrix; the level is singular and is not a regular Liouville torus.
Finally gives only the stable equilibrium, while gives the empty level because . These alternatives and steps 2.1--2.3 exhaust all energies.

Dependency tree · two levels
9 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.
