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.
The complex exponential by its power series
Definition
Let be the canonical-natural map of The canonical natural of a field, and let be the real embedding from The complex numbers as , with their arithmetic, real embedding, and imaginary unit. For every , the factorial is nonzero by The factorial and the falling factorial , defined by recursion in , so by Canonical naturals are positive and strictly increasing and consequently in the complex field The complex numbers form a field, and every nonzero has inverse .
For , define
whenever this complex series converges. Inside a complex expression we abbreviate the embedded denominator by , so the same definition may be written without identifying a natural number with a complex number. Powers and series are those of Integer powers in the complex field and Complex series, absolute convergence, complex power series, and radius of convergence. The convergence for every is discharged by The complex exponential series converges absolutely for every complex argument ↗.
