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 signs are opposite exactly when both primes are congruent to modulo , as predicted by quadratic reciprocity (Quadratic reciprocity for distinct odd primes).
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The primes and the residue tables displayed in the Example.
For distinct odd primes , (Quadratic reciprocity for distinct odd primes).
For an odd prime , the Legendre symbol is on nonzero square classes, on nonzero nonsquare classes, and on the zero class (The Legendre symbol, including its zero value).
Verification
Squaring every residue class modulo each prime gives the displayed nonzero square sets. Reading the residues of each numerator from those sets by [L2] gives all entries in the pair table.
For the pairs , , and both primes are modulo and the direct signs are opposite; in every other row at least one prime is modulo and the signs agree. Each row therefore has the product required by [L1].
