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 from modulo to modulo
Example
The two roots of lift along the powers of as follows:
| modulus | first branch | second branch |
|---|---|---|
Thus the square roots of modulo are the classes of and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The target , the odd prime , and the two roots modulo .
A nonsingular root modulo has a unique lift of the form modulo , with uniquely determined modulo (A nonsingular square root lifts uniquely by one odd-prime-power step).
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
Direct squaring gives the roots modulo . Solving the correction congruence of [L1] on each branch gives corrections modulo for the lift to , then for the lift to , and finally for the lift to ; these yield the two displayed chains and .
One has and , 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.
