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 independent two-level sites give a product thermal law
A calculated two-site finite product model with additive energy and no interaction; it is not an observation or a claim about interacting sites.
Example
Let each site have states with energies , and take with . The composite has states and additive energy .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Two finite sites, additive energy, common positive temperature, and canonical sampling.
Finite statistical microstate model: the composite state set is the Cartesian product and additivity of energy is explicit model data.
Finite canonical partition, energy, variance, entropy and free-energy identities: each finite canonical law has probabilities proportional to .
Partition, Gibbs-entropy and free-energy factorization for independent finite systems: under the explicit product and additive-energy assumptions, partition sums factor and the joint canonical law is the product of the two subsystem laws.
Set , hence the single-site excited-state weight is .
Verification
Given: The model data and .
Each site has and probabilities . By [F3], and the joint probabilities of are .
The expected total occupation is the sum of the two marginal means, , so the mean energy is . This conclusion follows for the declared noninteracting product model only.
