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.
Perfect-tree splitting of a new-real name
Example
Display the first three levels of the perfect-tree construction for a name forced new.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: satisfy the hypotheses of F1. Enumerate the dense subsets of in as and those of in as ; replace each by its downward closure, so all are dense open in the stronger-condition order.
A perfect tree of mutually generic name interpretations: fixes the new-name hypotheses and asserts the resulting perfect tree of mutually generic, continuously varying interpretations.
Forcing theorem and Monotonicity, density, and decision for forcing: the forcing predicate is definable in , stronger conditions preserve decisions, and conditions deciding any fixed bit are dense; finite iteration decides any prescribed finite prefix.
Verification
Below every there are two conditions forcing incompatible finite prefixes of . Otherwise all prefixes forceable below some would be compatible. For every , finite iteration of F2 would then give a unique forceable below . Definability of forcing forms in , and forces , contradicting the newness hypothesis in F1.
Put in . Use step 1.1 to choose two extensions forcing incompatible prefixes. Successively refine the two ordered pairs into ; openness preserves the first requirement while the reverse ordered pair is handled. Call the resulting conditions , and strengthen them to decide incompatible prefixes of length at least .
Below each of , apply step 1.1 to choose two successors. Prefix decisions inherited from the parents separate successors from different parents, and the new splits separate siblings. Successively refine the four nodes through and all ordered pairs through , then use F2 to decide extensions of length at least . There are only finitely many requirements, and downward closure preserves every earlier one.
Repeat at level three with eight nodes: meet at every node, meet for all ordered pairs of distinct nodes, and decide pairwise incompatible prefixes of length at least .
Thus agreement of branches through level forces agreement of their interpreted reals through the already decided length- prefix, while their first split forces distinct interpretations. The continuity modulus is: input agreement through level implies output agreement through digits. Continuing the same finite procedure meets every enumerated dense set and realizes the endpoint asserted by F1.

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.
