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.
Monotone coupling from the past for finite ferromagnetic Ising weights
Definition
Input a finite nonempty set , a set of unordered pairs of distinct sites, finite dimensionless couplings , finite dimensionless fields , and a two-sided iid stream in which is uniform on , is uniform on , and all these variables are mutually independent. On , define by for every , using ; its least and greatest elements are and . For the finite-spin heat-bath update, use the total sampling order , which is distinct from . Define the strictly positive finite weight At time , let be the one-site finite-spin heat-bath update at site with uniform value , leaving every other spin unchanged; explicitly, site is set to exactly when where is the exterior configuration at , and otherwise is set to . For , initialize lower and upper configurations at time to and , respectively, and apply in chronological order the same stored maps to both. If their time-zero outputs agree, return that common configuration. Otherwise double and replay all maps in the enlarged interval, reusing the already stored maps at every overlapping time. This is a random procedure; no finite running-time bound is part of its definition.

Remarks
The order-preserving update is part of the specified coupling. Replacing a previously stored seed when a horizon is doubled changes the procedure. Termination and exactness are proved separately.
