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.

2 · Summary
These examples check one noncritical Gram radical, one critical simple standard module, and one Spencer digit-support calculation. Each verification states its exact parameter and label convention.
The first example’s TikZ half-diagrams specify the two noncrossing pairings. Their labels are the mathematical objects; the loop-count proof computes the Gram entries independently of the picture.
Examples
- An order-three noncritical link-state form with a one-dimensional radical computes the 2-by-2 Gram matrix at rank and its one-dimensional radical at of order three; its label is noncritical.
- A critical five-defect standard module at order three is simple checks a rank-seven, five-defect critical standard module and its nonzero determinant at the same root.
- The Spencer support set for rank label eleven in characteristic three expands in the scales and obtains ; it makes no composition-factor claim without Spencer’s separate theorem.
The first two examples illustrate the complex standard-module classification on the companion page. The arithmetic support calculation makes no independent Spencer decomposition claim, and these examples supply no TLJ fusion or tilting-centralizer theorem.

Example
Take , so and . At rank with arcs and defects, the link-state Gram matrix has a one-dimensional radical even though this label is noncritical.
Diagram
The sites are labeled from left to right. In each half-diagram, an arc joins its two labeled sites; the left panel is and the right panel is . These are the two noncrossing perfect matchings on four sites; the picture records their basis labels, while the Gram entries below are computed from the overlay loop count.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , , and the link-state capping form.
The standard-module basis is the set of noncrossing partial matchings with the indicated number of arcs and defects (Temperley–Lieb link-state standard modules by defect number).
The form value on two basis states is when all defect paths propagate, with the number of overlay loops (The link-state Gram form is symmetric and invariant).
The Gram determinant is the product of quantum-integer ratios with polynomial continuation at removable zero-over-zero factors (The Temperley–Lieb link-state Gram determinant).
A label is critical exactly when and (Complex Temperley–Lieb critical labels and reflection).
Verification
Given: , , and the two perfect matchings shown above.
There are exactly two noncrossing perfect matchings on four ordered sites: and . Overlaying either matching with itself gives two loops and hence Gram value ; overlaying with gives one loop and hence Gram value . Thus the matrix in the ordered basis is
A vector is orthogonal to both and exactly when , by the two equal rows of . Therefore , a one-dimensional subspace.
Here , so is not divisible by ; the label is noncritical by [F4]. The determinant formula [F3] gives because and at . This agrees with the explicitly computed radical.
A critical five-defect standard module at order three is simple
Example
Let , so and . At rank , take arc and defects. The critical standard module is simple, and its Gram determinant is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , , , and .
The critical-label test is (Complex Temperley–Lieb critical labels and reflection).
At every critical label the complex link-state capping form is nondegenerate and its standard module is simple (Critical complex Temperley–Lieb standard modules are simple).
For , the Gram determinant is (The Temperley–Lieb link-state Gram determinant).
Verification
Given: , , and the rank-seven label .
The defect number is , so is divisible by . Hence is critical by [F1].
Since , [F3] gives . Here and so . By [F2], this nondegenerate critical standard module is simple.
The Spencer support set for rank label eleven in characteristic three
Example
In a field of characteristic with loop parameter , the recurrence quantum characteristic is . For rank label , Spencer's support set is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , , and .
The recurrence is , , , and is the least positive index with (Temperley–Lieb quantum integers and quantum characteristic).
If , the digits are those of in the scales , , and the support set uses a positive top sign and arbitrary lower signs (Spencer quantum-characteristic digits and support set).
Verification
Given: has characteristic , , and .
In , , , and , so the least positive vanishing index is . Here , and the scales are , , .
The digits of are , , , because . With highest index , the support values are , namely and . Both are nonnegative, so .
This computation determines only the set in the definition; identifying its elements with actual composition factors requires the separate Spencer decomposition theorem and is not asserted by this example.
