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 complete reciprocity table for 3,5,7,11

Example

The nonzero square classes for the primes 3,5,7,11 are

pnonzero squares modulo p
31
51,4
71,2,4
111,3,4,5,9

Using the definition of the Legendre symbol (The Legendre symbol, including its zero value) gives the complete pair table

{p,q}(p/q)(q/p)relation
{3,5}−1−1agree
{3,7}−11opposite
{3,11}1−1opposite
{5,7}−1−1agree
{5,11}11agree
{7,11}−11opposite

The signs are opposite exactly when both primes are congruent to 3 modulo 4, as predicted by quadratic reciprocity (Quadratic reciprocity for distinct odd primes).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The primes 3,5,7,11 and the residue tables displayed in the Example.

[L1]

For distinct odd primes p,q, (pq)(qp)=(−1)(p−1)(q−1)/4 (Quadratic reciprocity for distinct odd primes).

[L2]

For an odd prime p, the Legendre symbol is 1 on nonzero square classes, −1 on nonzero nonsquare classes, and 0 on the zero class (The Legendre symbol, including its zero value).

Verification

1.1L2givenalgebra

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.

2.1step 1.1L1algebra∎

For the pairs {3,7}, {3,11}, and {7,11} both primes are 3 modulo 4 and the direct signs are opposite; in every other row at least one prime is 1 modulo 4 and the signs agree. Each row therefore has the product required by [L1].
