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 disjoint nonempty modules form a complete or an anticomplete pair
Statement
Let and be disjoint nonempty modules (Modules of a graph, and the trivial modules) of a finite simple graph . Then the pair is complete or anticomplete, and it is not both.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Disjoint nonempty modules of a finite simple graph .
For a module of : for all and all , if and only if (Three equivalent descriptions of a module: purity of every outside vertex, equality of outside neighbourhoods, and indistinguishability of the members).
The pair of disjoint sets is complete when every is adjacent to every , anticomplete when no is adjacent to any , and pure when it is complete or anticomplete (Edges between disjoint vertex sets; complete, anticomplete, pure and mixed pairs).
Proof
Fix and , which exist because both sets are nonempty.
Let and . Since and , applying [L1] to the module gives that if and only if .
Since and , applying [L1] to the module gives that if and only if .
Combining steps 1.2 and 1.3, every and satisfy: if and only if .
If then step 2.1 makes every cross pair an edge, so is complete; otherwise step 2.1 makes no cross pair an edge, so is anticomplete. The two cannot both hold, since the single pair would then be both an edge and not an edge.

- For a modular partition, a set of parts is a module of the quotient exactly when the union of those parts is a module of the graph Lemma

- A graph is recovered from any modular partition by the induced subgraphs on the parts together with the quotient graph Theorem
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.
