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.
Two indistinguishable hard-core particles in an interval
A finite one-dimensional positional toy model with two classical identical particles and a hard-core exclusion; it is a model calculation, not a reported measurement.
Example
Take a dimensionless interval with , two identical particles, and the hard-core pair potential for and otherwise. At any positive temperature the configurational canonical partition function is independent of and equals The factor is the adopted indistinguishable positional measure. This finite-volume calculation has no momentum variables or experimental data.
Facts & Assumptions
Stable regularly tempered classical positional preparation: for two positions the hard-core pair energy is infinite precisely on forbidden separations .
Indistinguishable-particle positional measure: integrate symmetric positional weights with .
Finite-volume equilibrium ensemble sampling: at exact , finite-energy pairs carry weight and forbidden infinite-energy pairs carry weight zero, integrated against .
Verification
Given: The interval, hard-core radius, exact particle number, and the adopted positional measure.
The allowed labelled pairs form two disjoint triangles, and . The first has area , and the second has the same area by exchanging coordinates.
Their total allowed area is . On it and the weight is ; on the excluded band the adopted finite-energy convention assigns weight zero, without evaluating an exponential at . Multiplying the allowed area by the measure factor from [A1] gives , as asserted.
