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.
Chain Stokes on an oriented two-simplex
Example
For an oriented smooth two-simplex in a smooth manifold and a smooth one-form , For the standard triangle in and , both sides equal .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The oriented simplex and one-form in the example.
Stokes theorem for smooth singular chains gives with the alternating face differential.
Verification
The oriented boundary is Applying [F1] and linearity of chain integration gives exactly the first displayed formula, including its middle minus sign.
For the standard triangle with , and , one has and therefore On the first boundary edge use , , so and its integral is . On one has , and on one has , so the other two edge integrals vanish. Thus the signed boundary total is also .
Reversing the simplex orientation reverses both sides and all three induced edge signs. A zero form or degenerate simplex gives zero through [F1]; there is no omitted boundary endpoint because each oriented edge includes both of its vertices. The calculation is finite and choice-free.

Dependency tree · two levels
7 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.
