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.
Scaling invariance of thermal equivalence
Statement
Under T1–T3 and the equal-state reversible split in Thermal joins and conditional contact hypotheses, if then for every .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The contact and scaling assumptions for tagged states and their joins.
Thermal joins and conditional contact hypotheses: each equal-state scaled pair is reversibly equivalent to its join, and thermal equivalence is transitive.
Proof
Let be any typed state and . The state in the scaled type has the equal-state reversible split with fractions and ; its two components are exactly and . Thus is reversible with its join, which by definition is . The same argument gives .
Since , symmetry gives . Transitivity with yields ; symmetry then gives . Transitivity with now yields .
