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.

Embedding and full embedding of categories

Definition

An embedding of categories is a functor that is faithful and injective on objects. A full embedding is an embedding that is also full. These terms use the notions of Faithful, full, fully faithful, essentially surjective, and split essentially surjective functors.

Thus a fully faithful functor need not be an embedding: it may send distinct but isomorphic objects to the same object. Conversely, an embedding need not be full.
