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.

Natural transformation and its components

Definition

Let F,G:C→D be functors (Covariant functor, identity functor, composite functor, and contravariant functor). A natural transformation α:F⇒G is a family of morphisms αA:FA→GA, one for each object A of C, such that every f:A→B satisfies the naturality equation

Gf∘αA=αB∘Ff.

The morphism αA is the component of α at A.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
