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 spectrum of the integers has one generic point, closed points (p), and basic opens D(n)
Example
The prime spectrum of consists of the generic point together with the closed points for prime numbers . For a nonzero integer , the distinguished open subset is
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The ring .
A point is a specialization of another exactly when the corresponding prime ideal contains the first one (Specialisation in a prime spectrum is reverse inclusion).
Closed points of a spectrum are exactly maximal ideals (The closed points of the prime spectrum are exactly the maximal ideals).
is the set of prime ideals that do not contain (Principal distinguished subsets of the prime spectrum).
The prime ideals of are exactly and the ideals for prime numbers , and the maximal ideals are exactly the ideals .
Verification
By [A1], the points of are and the prime ideals . Since for every prime number , fact [L1] shows that every is a specialization of . Thus is the unique generic point.
Fact [A1] says that the maximal ideals of are exactly the ideals , so [L2] shows that the closed points of the spectrum are exactly the points .
For a nonzero integer , fact [L3] says that consists of the prime ideals that do not contain . The point never contains a nonzero integer, and contains exactly when divides . Hence .
Therefore has one generic point, closed points , and the distinguished opens described above.

Dependency tree · two levels
7 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.
