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.
Nearest-neighbor Ising interaction satisfies the finite-range bounds
Example
Take , , , and let For every , let and set for a fixed ; set for every other finite nonempty support . If interpreted as an energy coefficient, has units J, but no value or measurement is assumed. This is a nearest-neighbor diagonal spin interaction of the kind described by Uniformly bounded finite-range quantum spin interaction.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The displayed Pauli matrix, , and the local tensor-factor conventions of Local spin matrix algebras and their factor inclusions.
Local spin matrix algebras and their factor inclusions: the two-site algebra is the finite matrix algebra with the ordinary operator norm.
Uniformly bounded finite-range quantum spin interaction: an interaction term must be self-adjoint, have uniformly bounded support size and diameter, and have finite per-site norm sum.
Verification
Given: [F1]–[F2] and the interaction in the Example.
Since and , the tensor product is a self-adjoint unitary in and has norm one. Therefore every nonzero term is self-adjoint and has norm .
Each support has cardinality two and max-metric diameter one. Each site belongs to exactly two such edges, so . All other terms vanish. Hence the interaction satisfies the definition with , , and , including the case .
