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.
Charged expectation vanishes by gauge averaging
Example
Take a two-vertex graph with one link , one fermion mode per vertex and zero backgrounds. The zero-electric, zero-occupation vector is physical. The bounded creation operator has nonzero gauge charge at , so its expectation in any physical vector, including , vanishes.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The conditional finite-graph CAR model, the gauge action, and the Axiom of Choice required by the time-dependent Ward supplier.
The Axiom of Choice is the principle that every family of nonempty sets has a choice function. The Axiom of Choice
Exact regulated gauge and infinitesimal Ward identities: every bounded gauge-charge eigenoperator with nonzero charge has zero expectation in a physical vector; time evolution preserves gauge charge under AC. This current A-page item depends on the still-draft QFT-MF01 CAR supplier through its graph-model dependencies.
Verification
Given: [A1], [F1], and the zero-background two-vertex state described above.
For , and , so both Gauss eigenvalues vanish. The CAR creation operator is bounded and nonzero; the gauge law gives , so its charge vector is .
The nonzero charge in step 1.1 forces by the finite-regulator selection rule, even though is a nonzero one-fermion vector. This demonstrates that the selection rule concerns expectations in the physical sector, not the vanishing of the charged operator itself.
