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 finite root-of-unity sum equals if and otherwise (Orthogonality of the characters on ).
The displayed periodic Fourier modes form a basis of the complexified grid space (Periodic heat-stencil eigenvalues and θ amplification factor).
For complex numbers, and ; conjugation is multiplicative and modulus obeys the field laws (Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus, Conjugation is an involutive real-field automorphism, , and modulus is definite, multiplicative, and subadditive).

Proof
Write . Then , , and . Substitution into each update in [F1] gives, respectively, Since , these are the displayed factors.
The identity gives . Multiplying each factor in step 1.1 by its conjugate and simplifying with this identity gives the five displayed squared-modulus formulas.
By [F2] the distinct Fourier modes are mutually orthogonal; by [F3] they form a basis. By [F5], each has squared norm , so the normalized modes are an orthonormal basis. Every update is diagonal in this basis with the factors from step 1.1, which therefore describe the full periodic updates.
