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.
All fourteen triangulations of the labelled hexagon
Example
Grouped by the split index of For and a triangulation of the -gon there is a unique with such that and are both chords of or sides, and splits along , the triangulations of the labelled hexagon are:
| triangulations | |
|---|---|

Facts & Assumptions
Given: the labelled hexagon with vertices .
The split index on the closing side is unique (For and a triangulation of the -gon there is a unique with such that and are both chords of or sides, and splits along ).
The number of triangulations of the labelled hexagon is (, The Catalan number ).
Verification
Every diagonal set in the table has three pairwise non-crossing diagonals, so each row is a triangulation of the hexagon.
The four groups are disjoint because the split index of [L1] is unique, and the group sizes are , , and , so the table contains triangulations altogether.
This agrees with [L2], since . The same grouped count is the recursion .
Remarks
- The two extreme groups are the fan triangulations based at the vertices and , together with the four further triangulations on the corresponding pentagons.

Dependency tree · two levels
13 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.
