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 third map in a morphism of triangles is unique
Statement
For every commutative square on the first maps of distinguished triangles, its TR3 completion is unique.
Refutation
Given: The displayed data.
TR3 states only that there exists a third component completing the square.
In , take the standard cone triangle of the zero map . Its cone is , with the second triangle map the first-summand inclusion and the third triangle map the second-summand projection.
The zero square on the first two terms has the zero third component as one completion. It also has the endomorphism of the cone whose only nonzero matrix entry is the identity from the second summand to the first: this endomorphism kills the inclusion and is killed by the projection, so it completes the same square.
The second endomorphism is nonzero in the homotopy category because it is the identity between stalk summands with zero differentials, while the first completion is zero. Hence the TR3 completion is not unique.

17 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.
