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.
Reflection positivity passes to a distributional limit
Statement
Let and be regulated and limit Schwinger hierarchies for one fixed dimension . Assume each is reflection positive on the same positive-time algebra and, for every fixed and every , . Then is reflection positive. Euclidean invariance and permutation symmetry also pass to the limit when the same fixed continuous test transformations preserve those properties at every regulator. These hypotheses yield no clustering or order-uniform growth conclusion.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: A directed regulator set , hierarchies and as in the earlier limit-data definition, and the two assumptions in the Statement.
Every is reflection positive on the common positive-time polynomial algebra.
For each fixed order , the distributions converge pointwise on every fixed test to .
The limit-data definition fixes the positive-time algebra, reflection form, Euclidean pullbacks, and permutation action.
Proof
Given: [A1], [A2], [F1].
For each , define the product-test map by and linear extension; the product of Schwartz functions is a Schwartz function. Set and, for , define . Fix a finite positive-time polynomial , with each a finite sum of degree- product tests. Expanding concatenation and the moment functional gives the finite sum Every test in this finite sum is fixed independently of , so [A2] gives . By [A1], every value is a nonnegative real number. Since is closed in , its limit is also a nonnegative real number. As was arbitrary, is reflection positive.
Fix one Euclidean isometry and one order- test . The pullback is continuous on Schwartz space: the chain rule writes each derivative as a finite linear combination of derivatives of evaluated at the inverse affine image, and each polynomial weight in becomes a finite sum of polynomial weights in the new variable with fixed coefficients. Thus each transformed Schwartz seminorm is bounded by finitely many original seminorms. If every is invariant under this fixed pullback, [A2] applied to both and its pullback passes the equality to . A permutation of argument blocks is a coordinate permutation and preserves the same seminorms exactly, so the same limit argument passes permutation symmetry. Step 1.1 uses only a fixed finite number of orders and tests; it supplies neither a uniform-in- bound nor a limit as a translation parameter tends to infinity, so it proves no order-uniform growth or clustering claim.
