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.
A truncated Landau pole is not continuum nonexistence
Example
For dimensionless and , the truncated equation with has maximal solution for , and as . Here “truncated Landau pole” means this finite endpoint of the exact solution to the truncated equation, where the real coupling diverges. The calculation supplies no estimate for omitted higher-order beta terms near and implies no nonexistence result for a continuum theory.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , , and the truncated ODE in One-coupling truncated RG flow and leading beta-coefficient invariance.
The example concerns only the real truncated initial-value problem; no omitted beta coefficients or ultraviolet completion are specified.
One-coupling truncated RG flow and leading beta-coefficient invariance: for the stated prescribed scalar model, the unique maximal solution is on for ; maximal means that the IVP solution has no extension to a strictly larger interval as an IVP solution.
Verification
Given: [A1] and [F1].
Under [A1], [F1] gives the denominator positive on the interval containing zero with , and is the exact solution of the truncated equation there.
As , while stays fixed, so . Since [F1] states only the truncated equation, neither this limit nor the calculation gives a bound on omitted terms or a conclusion about continuum nonexistence.
Remarks
The pole is an endpoint of this model's maximal solution. It is not a measurement and does not assert that the truncation is accurate near that endpoint.
