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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: Rings and the coordinate projection , .
The product ring has coordinatewise operations (The product ring with componentwise operations, its identity and its units ).
A ring homomorphism preserves operations and identity (Ring homomorphism: additive, multiplicative, and required to send to ).
A ring-homomorphism kernel is a two-sided ideal (The kernel of a ring homomorphism is a two-sided ideal).
The first ring isomorphism theorem gives quotient-by-kernel isomorphisms (First isomorphism theorem for rings: ).
Ideals are additive subgroups with absorption (Left, right and two-sided ideals).
Verification
Coordinatewise operations make a surjective ring homomorphism.
Its kernel is exactly , which is therefore an ideal.
The kernel calculation yields .
