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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, a finite SSEP rate matrix, its uniformized realization, a smooth real periodic , and a finite horizon .
Assume the Axiom of Choice, meaning every family of nonempty sets has a choice function; the finite-chain martingale supplier requires it (The Axiom of Choice).
Symmetric exclusion process under diffusive scaling: is finite; each occupation-changing unordered nearest-neighbor swap has rate . Equal endpoint occupations give no off-diagonal transition and zero observable increment, so generator and squared-jump sums may be extended over all bonds with coefficient . Also and .
Martingale and predictable bracket for a finite-state chain: for a finite rate matrix , bounded , and its uniformized realization, is a square-integrable martingale with continuous predictable bracket along the chain.
Proof
Put . For the bond , . Summing its rate- contribution over all and reindexing the terms containing gives . Thus the finite-chain martingale in [F2], applied to , is exactly and has bracket given by the sum of rates times squared jumps.
A bond with equal endpoint occupations has zero jump; otherwise its squared jump is . Substituting these jumps and rate into [F2] gives the displayed bracket. By the fundamental theorem of calculus along the coordinate segment, , while . There are bonds in each coordinate direction, so the bracket is increasing, continuous, predictable, and bounded by . The finite state space makes bounded, hence [F2] also gives square integrability.
