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.
Every smooth distribution is integrable
Statement
Every smooth distribution is integrable.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: On , let and let .
This is the standard contact plane field.
Refutation
The fields and are smooth and pointwise independent, so [given] is a smooth rank- distribution.
Their bracket is [given] which does not lie in the span of and at any point. Hence the distribution is not involutive.
A rank- integral manifold would force brackets of tangent vector fields [given] to remain tangent, so such manifolds cannot realize this distribution. Thus the distribution is smooth but not integrable.
Therefore the universal statement is false. [given] ∎

Dependency tree · two levels
5 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.
