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.
Elliptic and hyperbolic automorphisms on the line
Example
On the bi-infinite line, reflection is elliptic and translation is hyperbolic.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The reflection and translation of the bi-infinite line.
Tree automorphisms without inversions are elliptic exactly when they fix a vertex, and hyperbolic exactly when they preserve a translation axis with positive translation length. (Tree automorphisms without inversions are either elliptic or hyperbolic)
Verification
The reflection fixes the vertex , so [L1] places it in the elliptic case.
The translation has no fixed vertex and preserves the whole line while moving every vertex two steps, so [L1] places it in the hyperbolic case.

Dependency tree · two levels
5 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.
