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.
Kleene fixed point theorem for program indices
Statement
For every total computable , there is e with as partial functions. An index e can be computed from an index for F on the promise that F is total. Equality here is extensional; it does not assert .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An index f computing the total function F.
Binary-to-unary specialization is total computable and preserves domains and values (Smn for the fixed acceptable numbering).
Universal evaluation and literal finite program compilation are effective (Acceptable numbering with universal evaluation).
Proof
Compile a binary program q which on first computes , then evaluates f on that number, obtaining , then evaluates that index on y. F1 supplies the first terminating subroutine, totality of F the second, and F2 the possibly partial last evaluation. Thus its binary function is . The finite compiler inserts f literally, so q is obtained effectively from f without running F during code generation.
Compute . For each y, specialization gives . The first two subcalls in H terminate, so either the last call halts with exactly the asserted value or both sides are undefined. This proves equality of the partial domains as well as values. Computing q and then e is a halting transformation of the given index f; if the promise of totality fails the transformation still produces a number, but the asserted fixed-point conclusion is not inferred.
