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 mapping cone of a chain map
Definition
Let be a chain map in an additive category. The mapping cone of is the chain complex whose degree- term is and whose differential is
Thus is the direct sum of and the shift as a graded object, with the off-diagonal term given by .
