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.
Finite dimensionality of fixed-order local operator spaces
Statement
Let be a finite-dimensional -graded complex vector space with a finite homogeneous basis , each generator assigned a rational engineering weight. Form . For finite and any , let be the span of supercommutative monomials of total generator degree at most and total engineering weight . Then is finite-dimensional. If a group acts linearly on preserving parity and the weight grading, its invariant subspace is also finite-dimensional.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite homogeneous basis of , a finite degree bound , a rational target weight , and a linear parity- and weight-preserving group action on .
Finite-jet local operators and engineering dimension: for a finite jet representation, the polynomial algebra is , and the selected operator space has an explicit finite maximum polynomial field degree.
Proof
If , the polynomial algebra consists only of constants, so its degree-at-most- subspace has dimension at most one. If , every monomial is indexed by an exponent vector with for each , since ; hence the full degree-at-most- algebra is spanned by at most monomials. The exterior generators only reduce this finite set because their exponents are restricted to or .
The subspace is spanned by the subset of those finitely many monomials whose assigned weights sum to , so it is finite-dimensional; if no monomial has weight , it is the zero space. The invariant vectors form a linear subspace of because the action preserves parity and weight, and every subspace of a finite-dimensional vector space is finite-dimensional.
