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.
Grand canonical particle-exchange preparation
Classical particle exchange across countably many finite-N sectors at fixed temperature and chemical potential, only when the grand normalization converges.
Postulate
Let be the prescribed temperature control in kelvins, , and let the chemical-potential control have units J per particle under the SI convention SI quantities and unit conventions. In this adopted law, is the energy coefficient conjugate to the dimensionless sector count in the weight ; no derivative with respect to integer is used. For , let and its reference measure be those of Classical particle counting and physical observables, and let be Borel measurable for the sector sigma-algebra generated by the open sets of , with marking forbidden states, and use the convention . In each sector require for -almost every and every within-species permutation , with and its action as in Classical particle counting and physical observables. Hence each sector Gibbs density admits an invariant representative; the factor is constant on that sector and preserves this invariance. Operationally distinguishable labels have trivial permutation factors as in that convention. Define the vacuum sector by with sigma-algebra , reference mass , particle number , and vacuum Hamiltonian . On the disjoint union , use the sigma-algebra where is the declared measurable structure on sector , and the reference measure This disjoint-union reference is sigma-finite because it is a countable sum of the sigma-finite sector references, including the finite vacuum measure. Let satisfy . Adopt the probability measure on with density relative to . The finiteness condition is part of the model; it requires control of the sector sum and is not implied by each finite-sector partition function being finite. Particle-exchange preparation is an assumption, not a deduction from fixed- dynamics. Under the vacuum convention above, the contribution to is exactly one.
