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
Given: The function in the Statement.
For every real , (Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine).
If a function is squeezed near a point between two functions having the same limit there, then it has that limit (If near and and have the same limit at , then so does ).
The quarter-turn values and period give and for every integer (Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi, The zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi).
For every real , there is a positive integer with (For every in a complete ordered field there is a natural with ).
If two punctured-domain sequences approach a limit point while their images approach distinct real limits, then the function has no limit there (A function has no limit at as soon as two sequences in tending to give different limits of the values).
The derivative at zero, if it exists, is the limit of as through nonzero reals (The derivative of at a point that is a limit point of , and differentiability on a set).
Sine is continuous; sums and products of continuous functions are continuous; quotients are continuous where their denominators do not vanish; and composites of continuous real functions are continuous (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, A function differentiable at is continuous at , Sums, scalar multiples, products, absolute values, maxima, minima and quotients with nonvanishing denominator of continuous functions are continuous, as are constants, the identity and every polynomial function, A composite of continuous functions is continuous, with no side hypothesis of the kind the composition of limits needs).
The number is positive because the first positive cosine zero satisfies (Pi as twice the smallest positive zero of cosine, Cosine has a smallest positive zero, lying strictly between zero and two).
Proof
By [L1], for , so [L2] gives at zero. Away from zero, the identity function has no zero in the denominator of the reciprocal, so the quotient, sine, composite, and product clauses of [L7] preserve continuity. Thus is continuous on .
For , the difference quotient at zero is .
For , put Positivity of and [L4] give nonzero positive terms and , while [L3] gives and .
By [L5], step 1.3 shows that has no limit at zero.
The quotient identity in step 1.2 and the nonexistence in step 2.1 show through [L6] that does not exist.
