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.
Cell-quadratic lower bound from superstability
Statement
Let be superstable in the splitting convention of Superstable regular pair interactions and configurational ensemble notation. Suppose and for , with elsewhere. For the unit cells , there are constants and such that every finite configuration satisfies Only finitely many summands are nonzero. This is the cell form used in the continuum pressure arguments.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The potential and splitting above.
Superstable regular pair interactions and configurational ensemble notation: superstability supplies a stable part and a nonnegative repulsive part bounded below by on a fixed neighborhood of the origin.
Proof
Given: The assumptions and the half-open unit-cell partition.
Choose an integer with . Partition each unit cell into half-open subcubes of side , and denote their occupancies by , . Distinct points in one subcube have , so their repulsive pair energy is at least . Therefore Writing , nonnegativity of expands to , and . Thus .
The stable part obeys . Add this inequality to step 1.1 and take and . This proves the cell-quadratic bound. If any term is , the inequality holds in the extended order; otherwise all sums are finite.
