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.

Lifting both square roots of $2$ from modulo $7$ to modulo $7^{4}$

Example

The two roots of $2$ lift along the powers of $7$ as follows:

modulus	first branch	second branch
$7$	$3$	$4$
$49$	$10$	$39$
$343$	$108$	$235$
$2401$	$2166$	$235$

Thus the square roots of $2$ modulo $7^{4} = 2401$ are the classes of $235$ and $2166$ .

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The target $a = 2$ , the odd prime $p = 7$ , and the two roots $3, 4$ modulo $7$ .

[L1]

A nonsingular root modulo $p^{k}$ has a unique lift of the form $x_{k} + t p^{k}$ modulo $p^{k + 1}$ , with $t$ uniquely determined modulo $p$ (A nonsingular square root lifts uniquely by one odd-prime-power step).

[L2]

A soluble unit square congruence modulo an odd prime power has exactly two solution classes (Unit square criterion and root count modulo odd prime powers).

Verification

1.1L1givenalgebra

Direct squaring gives the roots $3, 4$ modulo $7$ . Solving the correction congruence of [L1] on each branch gives corrections $(1, 5)$ modulo $7$ for the lift to $49$ , then $(2, 4)$ for the lift to $343$ , and finally $(6, 0)$ for the lift to $2401$ ; these yield the two displayed chains $3 \mapsto 10 \mapsto 108 \mapsto 2166$ and $4 \mapsto 39 \mapsto 235 \mapsto 235$ .

2.1step 1.1L2algebra∎

One has $235^{2} = 23 \cdot 2401 + 2$ and $2166^{2} = 1954 \cdot 2401 + 2$ , so both final classes are roots. They are distinct, and [L2] says a soluble unit congruence has exactly two roots, so the list is complete.
