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.

Acceptable numberings are computably intertranslatable

Statement

If (αe)eN and (βe)eN are acceptable numberings of the partial computable functions, then there exist total computable functions tαβ,tβα:NN such that for every index e, βtαβ(e)=αe,αtβα(e)=βe.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Two acceptable numberings (αe) and (βe).

[L1]

The fixed machine coding defines an acceptable numbering, by The fixed machine coding gives an acceptable numbering.

[L2]

An acceptable numbering is universal and has a total computable hard-wiring operation, by Universal and acceptable numberings.

Proof

1.1

By [L1], let (φe) denote the standard acceptable numbering coming from the fixed machine coding. Because α is universal by [L2], the partial function (e,x)φe(x) has some α-index u. Because α is acceptable, [L2] supplies a total computable hard-wiring map sα, and then tφα(e):=sα(u,e) satisfies αtφα(e)(x)αu(e,xseq)=φe(x). So φ translates computably into α. The same argument gives a computable translator tφβ from φ into β.

2.1

Because φ is universal and α is acceptable, the same argument with the roles reversed gives a total computable translator tαφ with φtαφ(e)=αe. Likewise there is tβφ with φtβφ(e)=βe.

3.1

Compose the translators through the hub numbering φ: tαβ:=tφβtαφ,tβα:=tφαtβφ. Then βtαβ(e)=φtαφ(e)=αe, and similarly αtβα(e)=βe.

Therefore any two acceptable numberings are computably intertranslatable.

Dependency tree · two levels

11 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.
