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.

A strict 2-category read as a Cat-enriched category

Example

Let K be any strict 2-category with a set of objects and small hom-categories. Then K itself is an example of a Cat-enriched category: the hom-object from A to B is the hom-category K(A,B), and enriched composition is horizontal composition.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A strict 2-category K with a set of objects and small hom-categories.

[L1]

Such a strict 2-category is exactly the same thing as a Cat-enriched category (A Cat-enriched category is exactly a strict 2-category with a set of objects and small hom-categories).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1L1given

The hom-categories, horizontal composition, and identity 1-morphisms of K are exactly the data that [L1] identifies with the hom-objects, enriched composition, and enriched identities of a Cat-enriched category.

2.1step 1.1∎

Therefore every such strict 2-category is read directly as a Cat-enriched category.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
