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 system in a category

Definition

Let C be a locally small category, using the definable-class convention of Class-sized category theory in ZFC: definable-class schemas, small and locally small categories, and why CAT is not formed. A two-sided multiplicative system S is a class of arrows satisfying:

  1. Every 1X belongs to S, and composites of composable members belong to S.
  2. Given f:UY and t:VY in S, there exist a:WU in S and b:WV with fa=tb. Dually, given f:XU and s:XV in S, there exist a:UW in S and b:VW with af=bs.
  3. For parallel f,g:XY, existence of t:YZ in S with tf=tg is equivalent to existence of s:WX in S with fs=gs.

For the locally small localization construction we additionally require either that C is small or that, for each X, a set SX of denominators into X is supplied such that every s:UX in S admits a:VU with saSX. The map a need not lie in S. These size data are separate from the fraction axioms; local smallness of C alone is insufficient. Objects and arrows have the types prescribed in Category, object, morphism, domain, codomain, identity, composition, and hom-collection.

Dependency tree · two levels

6 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.
