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.

Proof
Given: The finite data and hypotheses in the Statement.
Goal: Establish the asserted complex span dimensions.
In the matrix conventions [F4], the zero assignments exclude every forbidden transition. Orthogonality of the nonzero outputs at fixed and [F1] give , where projects onto . Thus , where and for . The real diagonal entries of make it Hermitian, and the three are finite matrices, as required by [F3].
Give the induced norm . This is a complex norm by [F4] and [F5], and the specified nine-vector ordered basis makes Banach by [F6]. Matrix multiplication makes complex-linear, so [F7] makes it bounded. Apply [F8] with . Since for every , evaluating its partial sums on and passing to the limit gives for real ; evaluation is continuous because in the induced operator norm. For the scalar series, apply [F5]--[F8] to with basis and the complex-linear map . Since , [F8] at real parameter gives absolute convergence of , and evaluation of the operator partial sums at identifies their limit with in [F10]. The group identity for at real parameters gives . For arbitrary complex , both scalar series converge absolutely by this specialization, so [F11] applies with and . Its coefficient is by finite binomial expansion. Therefore by [F10].
Each allowed coordinate of [F3] is , with nonzero prefactor. Indeed step 2.1 evaluates the two diagonal propagators, its scalar product identity combines their factors, and [F1] together with makes the remaining coefficient nonzero.
For a fixed there is one entry, namely , with exponent of real part . There are three entries, with , each with exponent of real part zero. At the latter three share one exponent, distinct from the exponent by its real part, giving dimension two by [F2]. At their imaginary parts are distinct, and all four exponents are distinct, giving dimension four. Different have disjoint matrix-unit supports: the union of bases for their spans is independent and spans the full family. Its size gives dimension six or twelve in the sense of [F9].
