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.

Example
For the diagram with central vertex , put and write , , , and . A label abbreviates the pair , and is the identity. The 32 relative chambers have the following labels; the vertex numbers are used only to specify their graph.

| 1 | 17 | ||
| 2 | 18 | ||
| 3 | 19 | ||

The undirected adjacency pairs are . Each adjacency between and supplies opposite arrows in the universal wall groupoid . This groupoid has the chamber labels as objects and one arrow from to , labelled ; composition multiplies labels in traversal order. These adjacent-crossing arrows generate the groupoid.

Verification
Given: The data, labels and vertex numbering in the Example.
Goal: Verify the labels, the complete adjacency list, and the opposite arrows.
For each row , apply the reflection rule in [F1] from right to left to . The result is in every row. Therefore , so . Also is positive; by [F4], . Since , is shortest in its right coset. Thus each row is a valid label in [F2].
For an independently reproducible chamber certificate, let and for . For each row calculate the signs of in the order of the seven roots in [F3], applying the letters of from left to right to each root before evaluating with . The resulting sign strings for vertices 1 through 32, in order, are . No entry is zero and all strings are distinct. Each lies in , so [F2] places in the chamber represented by its row. The 32 distinct chambers exhaust the 32 chambers of [F3].
Two regions of a finite real hyperplane arrangement are adjacent exactly when their sign strings differ in one position. Indeed, adjacent regions differ only across their common wall. Conversely, for points in two regions differing only at one hyperplane, their joining segment stays strictly on the common side of every other hyperplane and crosses the remaining hyperplane at a point in no other hyperplane; a small neighbourhood there supplies a common facet. Comparing the strings in step 2.1 gives exactly the 48 pairs in the Example. In particular no adjacency is omitted.
For any listed adjacency from to , [F5] gives , so [F6] identifies its arrow label as . The reverse arrow has label and is its inverse in this groupoid. The system has four simple generators, so [F7] applies. Since step 3.1 lists every adjacency, these are precisely the adjacent-crossing arrows and they generate .
Vertex 7 is the fundamental label . The listed graph is connected, as can be checked by following its edges from vertex 7 to every listed vertex. Following such a path recovers each displayed label by the iterative simple wall-crossing formula in [F5]; the bijection in [F2] ensures that the recovered label is the one in its row. Together with the exhaustive chamber and adjacency certificates and the generating-arrow identification, this proves the example.
