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 euclidean levi civita connection
Example
The Euclidean metric on has Levi–Civita derivative in Cartesian coordinates. Its Christoffel symbols vanish, and parallel transport along every piecewise smooth curve preserves the Cartesian components.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The standard metric and Cartesian tangent frame on .
Levi–Civita symbols are the half-inverse-metric contraction of metric first derivatives (Christoffel formula for the levi civita connection).
Along a curve, has coefficients (Local frame formula for covariant differentiation along a curve).
Verification
Every is zero, so [F1] gives for every index. Expanding in the connection Leibniz law gives the claimed derivative. For example in two dimensions, and give .
By [F2] the parallel equation is . Each component is constant on each smooth segment, and continuity identifies its constants across the finitely many corners. Thus transport sends to , including constant curves and singleton intervals. Zero components stay zero. For this is the unique map of zero tangent spaces, and is the ordinary scalar derivative.

Dependency tree · two levels
9 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.
