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.

Example
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
If is Lebesgue measurable and , then the difference set contains an open neighbourhood of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice and a measurable set with .
Almost every point of is a density-one point of . (Lebesgue density theorem)
Lebesgue measure is translation invariant. (Lebesgue outer measure, Lebesgue measurability and Lebesgue measure are unchanged by translation)
Ball measures vary continuously with the radius. (For a nonzero real , dilation by multiplies Lebesgue outer measure by , and reflection in the origin preserves it)
Verification
By [L1], choose a density-one point . Then there is such that [L1, L3, given, choose] Because [L3] makes the ball measure continuous in the radius, choose with If , then so Therefore
Fix . Translation invariance [L2] gives [L2, step 1.1, algebra] Together with step 1.1, both and have measure greater than half of , so they intersect. Choose . Then and , so .
Every with lies in , so contains the open [step 2.1] ball .

Dependency tree · two levels
34 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.
