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.

Facts & Assumptions

The Axiom of Countable Choice, written , asserts that every sequence of nonempty sets has a choice function. The Axiom of Countable Choice ()
A map is totally differentiable at every point with continuous derivative matrix; a global diffeomorphism has a inverse, and a flow transports its base measure by . A normalizing flow and its base density

Verification
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the Example.
Define . Direct substitution gives and . Both maps are linear, so their first-order remainders vanish and their derivative matrices are constant; by [F1] they are . Thus they are inverse bijections and is a global diffeomorphism.
The linear map has matrix , which is its Jacobian matrix by [F3]. It is lower triangular, so [F4] gives determinant . Its inverse has Jacobian matrix , also lower triangular with determinant .
Apply [F2] to the base density and the inverse from step 1.1. Step 1.2 gives , so the transformed density version is .
