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.

Facts & Assumptions

For natural numbers , is the number of -element subsets of an -element set. In particular , , and for . The set [A]ᵏ of k-element subsets and the binomial coefficient C(n, k) := | [n]ᵏ|
Proof
Given: The real arrays, integer index ranges and zero-term convention in the Statement.
Goal: Prove all nine diagonal-difference identities and the three common weighted norms.
For each integer , an eight-element set has a -element subset, so by [F2]. The index ranges give , hence all displayed weights in the sum to are defined. If , a nonzero product from one array would require two supported indices to differ by , whose nonzero absolute value is at most two. By [F1] its distinct supported indices differ by six. Thus no such product exists, and both weighted sums vanish for all .
Count the needed binomial values from [F2]. Each two-element subset of an -element set occurs twice among the ordered pairs of distinct elements. Each three-element subset of a six-element set occurs six times among its ordered triples of distinct elements. Thus , and . Complementation bijects -element subsets with -element subsets, so together with the boundary and singleton values of [F2] this gives and , .
For , the alpha sum is , while the beta sum is . For , the alpha sum is , and the beta sum is the same. For , the alpha sum is , while the beta sum is . These are all supported contributions by [F1], and the binomial values are those of step 1.2. Taking differences proves all remaining . If the sum is extended to , its additional terms are zero by the stated convention, which never evaluates a quotient outside the original range. Together with step 1.1 this proves every claim.
