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: every quintic is insoluble by radicals

Statement

False claim: every quintic is insoluble by radicals.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The quintic polynomial $x^{5} - 2$ over $Q$ .

[L1]

The polynomial $x^{5} - 2$ is solvable by radicals ( $x^{5} - 2$ over $Q$ is solvable by radicals although it is a quintic).

Refutation

technique · direct

1.1L1algebra

The polynomial $x^{5} - 2$ has degree five, so it is a quintic.

2.1step 1.1L1∎

By [L1] it is solvable by radicals, so the statement that every quintic is insoluble by radicals is false.

Depends on

$x^5-2$ over $\mathbb Q$ is solvable by radicals although it is a quintic

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
