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 published module four lemma as an instance

Example

When the ambient abelian category is a module category, the categorical four lemma is exactly the published module four lemma.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A commutative exact-row four-term diagram of modules.

[L1]

The categorical four lemma applies in any abelian category (Four lemma in an abelian category).

[L2]

The module four lemma is already published (The injective and surjective Four Lemmas).

Verification

1.1L1

The module diagram is one instance of the abelian-category diagram in [L1].

2.1L2step 1.1∎

Both the monic and epic conclusions then coincide with the two halves stated in [L2]. Hence the published module theorem is the module instance of the categorical four lemma.

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
