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.
Reversing orientation does not preserve a complex contour integral
Statement refuted
Reversing a contour's orientation preserves every complex contour integral.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The segment from to , its reversal, and the constant integrand .
The integral of a constant is times the endpoint displacement (The contour integral of a constant c is c times the endpoint displacement).
Reversal negates the complex line integral while preserving the absolute line integral (Complex line integrals change sign under reversal and add under concatenation).
Counterexample
By [L1], , whereas .
The values differ, in agreement with [L2], so reversal does not preserve the oriented complex integral even though it preserves the absolute integral.
