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.
Substituting into gives the join and substituting into gives the disjoint union
Example
Let and be nonnull graphs on vertex sets disjoint from each other and from the two template vertices below. Successively substituting and for the two vertices of gives the join , obtained from their disjoint union by adding every edge between the two vertex sets. Successively substituting them for the two vertices of gives the disjoint union .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Nonnull graphs and whose vertex sets are disjoint from each other and from , the complete graph on vertices , and the edgeless graph on the same vertex set.
Substituting a graph for a vertex replaces that vertex by the inserted graph and joins every outside vertex to all of it or none of it according to the original adjacency (Substituting one graph for a vertex of another).
Verification
First substitute for , leaving as a one-vertex part, and then substitute for . Since and are adjacent in , [L1] makes every vertex of adjacent to every vertex of , while preserving the edges internal to both graphs. The result is exactly .
Carrying out the same two substitutions in leaves the two copied vertex sets anticomplete because and are nonadjacent. The result is exactly .
Thus join and disjoint union are the two binary substitutions obtained from the edge and the nonedge templates.

Dependency tree · two levels
12 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.
