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.
Assuming the Axiom of Choice, the Chinese-remainder map Z/6Z -> Z/2Z direct-sum Z/3Z is an isomorphism by local tests
Example
Assume the Axiom of Choice.
Consider the -module homomorphism
This map is an isomorphism because every prime localisation of is an isomorphism.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The -module homomorphism , .
A module homomorphism is an isomorphism exactly when all of its prime localisations are isomorphisms (Assuming the Axiom of Choice, local criteria for zero modules and for injective, surjective, and bijective maps).
The arithmetic of is the usual modular arithmetic (For every natural , is an abelian group, multiplication is a commutative monoid operation, and both distributive laws hold).
Verification
At the prime , the localisation of is , while the localisation of is , because becomes a unit. The localised map is therefore the identity on the surviving summand.
At the prime , the same computation gives the identity .
At every other prime , both and localise to because both and become units.
Steps 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 show that every prime localisation of is an isomorphism, so [L1] gives that is an isomorphism.

Dependency tree · two levels
15 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.
