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 solution-set condition for a functor, stated object by object

Definition

Let $U : A \to C$ be a functor and fix an object $C \in C$ . The functor $U$ satisfies the solution-set condition at $C$ if there is a supplied set-indexed family of arrows $η_{i} : C \to U (A_{i}) (i \in I)$ such that every arrow $f : C \to U (A)$ factors through one of them: for some $i \in I$ and some $h : A_{i} \to A$ , $f = U (h) \circ η_{i} .$ The functor satisfies the solution-set condition if it satisfies this condition at every object $C$ . An assertion of the condition object by object supplies no simultaneous choice of a solution family over a proper class of objects.

Dependency tree · two levels

5 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.
