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.
Polynomial rings in finitely many commuting indeterminates by iteration
Definition
Let be a commutative ring. Define polynomial rings in finitely many commuting indeterminates recursively by
At each stage the coefficient ring embeds as the constant polynomials (Polynomial convolution makes a commutative ring containing as its constant subring), so all preceding indeterminates remain present. The new indeterminate commutes with every coefficient by the commutativity built into The polynomial ring over a commutative ring as finitely supported coefficient sequences with convolution, and consequently all commute. This iterated ring is denoted .
