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.

The star-expansion of the four-vertex path contains an induced six-cycle

Example

In the star-expansion of $P_{4}$ , the vertices $v, a_{1}, b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3}, a_{3}$ induce a six-cycle.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The star-expansion of $P_{4}$ with root $v$ , teeth $a_{1}, a_{3}$ , and path vertices $b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3}$ .

[L1]

The only edges using the new vertices are $v a_{i}$ and $a_{i} b_{i}$ (The star-expansion of a graph).

Verification

technique · direct finite check

1.1

Among the chosen six vertices, the edges are exactly $v a_{1}, a_{1} b_{1}, b_{1} b_{2}, b_{2} b_{3}, b_{3} a_{3}, a_{3} v$ .

2.1

The teeth create no further chord, and the path contributes no edge $b_{1} b_{3}$ . Hence those six vertices induce a six-cycle.

Dependency tree · two levels

8 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.
