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 Chinese remainder bijection computed on all standard representatives
Example
For standard representatives, the Chinese remainder map is
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The map .
Every class modulo a positive integer has one standard representative (For , every class in has one representative with , so ; while is in bijection with ).
Since are coprime, is a bijection and preserves addition and multiplication componentwise (Chinese remainder theorem for a finite pairwise-coprime list: simultaneous residues determine one class modulo the product, and the resulting bijection preserves addition and multiplication).
Modular addition and multiplication are computed by adding and multiplying representatives (Addition and multiplication on by and ).
Verification
Reducing each integer modulo and modulo gives the displayed table. Its entries are all distinct, and [L1] shows that they exhaust the domain and codomain standard pairs, in agreement with [L2].
For a nontrivial addition check, , and the table gives .
For a nontrivial multiplication check, , and the table gives .
The table computes the whole bijection, while steps 1.2 and 1.3 instantiate its componentwise arithmetic preservation.

- For $n\ge 1$, every class in $\mathbb{Z}/n$ has one representative $r$ with $0\le r<n$, so $\lvert\mathbb{Z}/n\rvert=n$; while $\mathbb{Z}/0$ is in bijection with $\mathbb{Z}$
- Addition and multiplication on $\mathbb{Z}/n$ by $[a]_n+[b]_n=[a+b]_n$ and $[a]_n[b]_n=[ab]_n$
