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.
Two-state gating through uniformization
Example
For an off/on gate, let the rate from off to on be and the rate from on to off be . With column probability vector and , the generator is
Starting off, if the exact on probability is ; if the gate remains off. The case gives no opening, while gives .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The states are off and on; the transition rates are from off to on and from on to off; the initial vector is .
Finite column generator: the source state indexes the column, off-diagonal entries are nonnegative, and columns sum to zero.
Finite master equation and uniformization formula: the unique master-equation solution equals the Poisson-weighted sum of for any admissible .
The scalar Poisson count law and Normalization, moments, and generating function of the Poisson count law: the Poisson weights sum to one and the mass at zero is .
Verification
The matrix in the Example has off-diagonal entries and both columns sum to zero, so it satisfies [F1]; its exit rates are and .
Suppose and choose . Then . Both columns equal the probability vector . Therefore and , which by induction gives for every .
By [F2], the on-coordinate at time is . By [F3] the sum of the masses over is , so . The off-coordinate is because the solution is a probability vector.
If , nonnegativity of implies , so and the master equation keeps fixed. If and , the formula gives ; if , it gives . The endpoint cases agree with the stated rates.

Dependency tree · two levels
17 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.
