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.
Explicit constants at : the contraction factor, the fixed points and the constant-code solutions
Example
Take in The square-root recurrence is a contraction of with a unique coded solution, so that
Then , so ; , so ; and the contraction constant of on is
The constant codes () are solved by the constant sequences with
the two displayed bounds hold because ; and both satisfy the exact identity . Every coded sequence has , and its sign is the corresponding symbol.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The parameter , the constants , , and the numbers .
Model data (The square-root recurrence is a contraction of with a unique coded solution, The two-sign bilateral shift space, its coding map, and the ball of bounded bilateral real sequences): for , , , the operator is a contraction of with constant ; its unique fixed point satisfies , and .
Square roots and squares (Square roots exist: a unique with ; the positives are , Absolute value in an ordered field, Integer powers , Basic properties of the absolute value): , , because , and because and both sides are nonnegative.
Verification
Endpoint inequality: and , so ; by [L2] , which is the self-mapping inequality of The square-root recurrence is a contraction of with a unique coded solution. Similarly , so and .
The fixed points: for one has, using [L2], Hence by [L2] and , so the constant sequence is a fixed point of ; by uniqueness it is .
Bounds: and , consistent with the general bounds of [L1]; the strict bounds and follow from and .
Remarks
- All verifications are exact algebraic identities involving , and , with rational comparisons for the inequalities; no numerical integration, simulation or measurement is involved.
