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 canonical free-algebra presentation of a two-element idempotent monoid

Example

Let M={1,e} be the monoid with 1 as identity and e2=e. For the free-monoid monad, its canonical presentation is

(M)T(a)μMMaM,

where a evaluates a word in M, T(a) evaluates each inner word, and μM concatenates the inner words.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The two-element monoid M and the three displayed word maps.

[L1]

Every T-algebra is the coequalizer of its canonical pair of free algebras (Every algebra is the coequalizer of its canonical pair of free algebras).

[L2]

The free-monoid monad inserts letters as one-letter words and flattens words of words by concatenation (The free-monoid monad has monoids as its Eilenberg–Moore algebras).

Verification

technique · direct
1.1

The multiplication table is 11=1, 1e=e1=e, and ee=e, so M is a monoid and a:MM evaluates every finite word to its product.

construct
1.2

On a word of words [w1,,wn], the map T(a) gives [a(w1),,a(wn)], while μM gives the concatenated word w1wn, as in [L1] and [L2].

2.1

Evaluating either result multiplies the same letters in the same order, so aT(a)=aμM for every finite word of words, including the empty one and words containing empty inner words.

3.1

The theorem [L1] now gives the coequalizer universal property. On underlying sets the sections are the one-letter-word maps ηM and ηM, and the monad unit and naturality equations verify the split presentation.

Dependency tree · two levels

13 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.
