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.
Multiplicative subsets and the localisation as equivalence classes of fractions
Definition
Let be a commutative ring. A subset is multiplicative if and implies .
On , define The localisation of at , denoted , is the set of equivalence classes for this relation. The class of is written , and its arithmetic is The localisation map is the ring homomorphism Every maps to a unit, with . The construction permits ; in that case the localisation is the zero ring.

13 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
