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 primitive two-square criterion distinguishes , , and
Example
The integers and have primitive representations, whereas is representable but has no primitive two-square representation:
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The three displayed integers and coordinate pairs.
A two-square representation is primitive when its coordinate gcd is (Representations and primitive representations as sums of two squares).
A positive integer has a primitive two-square representation if and only if and no prime divides (Characterisation of primitive sums of two squares).
Verification
One has with , and with , so both displayed representations are primitive by [F1].
One has , but , so the displayed representation is not primitive.
Since and , [L1] excludes every primitive representation of , not just the displayed one.

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
