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.

FALSE: a Cat-enriched category is the same thing as a strict 2-category without smallness hypotheses

Statement

A Cat-enriched category is the same thing as a strict 2-category, with no extra size hypotheses.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The dictionary theorem on the A page.

[L1]

A Cat-enriched category is exactly a strict 2-category only when the object set is a set and the hom-categories are small (A Cat-enriched category is exactly a strict 2-category with a set of objects and small hom-categories).

Refutation

technique · direct
1.1L1given

The theorem [L1] states the precise equivalence and includes the smallness hypotheses as part of the claim.

2.1step 1.1∎

Removing those hypotheses enlarges the statement beyond [L1], so the displayed unrestricted claim is false.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
