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 free module on a set and its standard basis
Definition
For a unital ring and a set , the free left -module on is For , the standard basis vector has coordinate at and zero elsewhere. Every element is represented by a unique finitely supported coefficient family , and is written The standard basis map sends to . It is injective exactly when or has at most one element; in these cases it is the standard basis inclusion. Indeed, for distinct the -coordinates of and are and . For the zero ring every is zero, but the indexed family still has unique finitely supported coefficients.
More generally, a family is a basis of a module when every element of is uniquely a finite -linear combination of the (Generated submodule, cyclic and finitely generated modules, module basis and free module). For , and its empty family is a basis.
