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: Countable Choice, the finite-matrix -identity, a finite-range interaction path with the uniform bounds above, an increasing finite exhaustion , locally fixed spectral clusters with uniform gap , and the dimensionless convention for the filtered generator.
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): Countable Choice is assumed by the norm-completion and finite-range dynamics suppliers.
Finite matrix C-star algebra and density-state duality: each finite local matrix algebra with its ordinary operator norm satisfies the finite-matrix -identity used by the quasi-local completion and finite-range dynamics suppliers.
Weighted interactions and gapped finite-volume paths: , its derivative is the corresponding finite sum, and controls .
Filtered derivative of an isolated finite-volume band: is a norm-continuous, norm-convergent filtered integral whose kernel has tails bounded by every inverse power.
Weighted interaction commutator bound: the finite-volume Heisenberg evolution of the finite-range path obeys the -weighted commutator bound with constants uniform in volume and path parameter.
Normalized-trace expectation onto a finite spin region and Contractive local expectations and their commutator bound: is a consistent contraction onto , and its error is bounded by the sum of commutators with one-site unitaries outside .
Strongly continuous thermodynamic spin automorphism group: under Countable Choice and the finite-matrix -identity, finite-volume dynamics of each bounded finite-range interaction converge in norm on local observables, uniformly on compact time intervals, to a dynamics on the norm-completed quasi-local algebra. The proof's boundary estimate is uniform over the stated path because its finite-range and interaction bounds are uniform in .
Proof
Given: [A1], [F1]–[F5], the finite-volume gaps, and the exhaustion.
For each finite nonempty , set For fixed , the finite matrix integrand is continuous in , and it is bounded by , an integrable majorant. Dominated convergence makes norm-continuous. Linearity of the finite sum and [F2] give . Define , , and shells For all sufficiently large , , so the sum of these shells is . Each shell is self-adjoint and supported in . Grouping the finitely many shells by this support defines and proves the displayed decomposition. Each expectation is a fixed linear map, so the shell and grouped coefficients are norm-continuous in .
Let be the weight parameter and , with . For , the supports and are disjoint; [F3] and the local-expectation estimate [F4] give where the lattice shell count and the exponential factor in give one constant independent of . The same difference is at most by contractivity. Split the filtered integral at . On the first bound is at most ; on , the Schwartz-tail construction in [F2] gives for each . Since is a difference of the (k)- and -expectations, its norm is bounded by the sum of these two expectation errors. Thus, after increasing , for every there is a constant independent of such that For , the same estimate with an enlarged follows from .
The finite-range path has a uniform range , so implies . Also [F1] at gives . Since forces , the sum of over such is at most . For each fixed , summing the shell estimate from step 2.1 over all with gives For any prescribed , choose ; the last tail is bounded by . The bound is independent of and , so taking their suprema outside the support sum proves the stated uniform -norm bound. No sum of separate time suprema is asserted; all finite-volume sums are finite and their nonnegative shell bounds are dominated by the displayed convergent scalar series.
Fix a finite support . Once contains the -neighborhood of , any shell with support has and ; otherwise would contain a point in that neighborhood outside . Thus only finitely many pairs contribute to , and their shell projections are the fixed once is large. By [A1], [F6], and [F5], for each fixed , converges locally uniformly on compact -intervals. The same boundary estimate in the proof of [F5] is uniform in , because the path has uniform finite range and interaction bounds. For , uniformity over follows by covering the compact finite-dimensional set by a finite norm net and using contractivity of the dynamics. The tails are bounded uniformly by , which tends to zero by [F2]. Hence every contributing filtered term converges uniformly in , defining . The -norm bound passes to the limit by taking the limit on each finite set of support terms and then the supremum.
