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.

Complex modulus restricts to real absolute value

Statement

For every real r, write λr for its canonical image in C. Then

∣λr∣C=∣r∣R.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A real number r and the complex modulus and real absolute value in the cited definitions. Write λr for its constant-class image in C.

[F1]

The canonical real embedding sends r to its constant class in C (The complex numbers as R[x]/(x2+1), with the real embedding and imaginary unit i).

[F2]

The imaginary unit i is the class of the polynomial x in C=R[x]/(x2+1) (The complex numbers as R[x]/(x2+1), with the real embedding and imaginary unit i).

[F3]

Every complex number has unique real coordinates a+bi (Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus).

[F4]

The complex modulus is ∣a+bi∣C=a2+b2 (Real and imaginary parts, complex conjugation, and modulus).

[F5]

Real absolute value is nonnegative and equals r when r≥0 and −r when r<0 (Absolute value in an ordered field, Basic properties of the absolute value).

[F6]

If r≠0, then r2>0 (Squares of nonzero elements are positive); if r=0, then r2=0 by 0⋅a=0 in a field (Multiplication by zero: 0⋅a=0).

Proof

1.1F1F2F3algebra

The canonical image of r is the class of the constant polynomial r by [F1]. Since i is the class of x by [F2], this is also the class of r+0x, namely r+0i. Uniqueness of complex coordinates in [F3] identifies that image with r+0i.

1.2F6F7cases

If r=0 then r2=0, and if r≠0 then [F6] gives r2>0. Thus r2≥0 in either case, so [F7] guarantees that its nonnegative square root exists.

1.3F5algebra

By [F5], ∣r∣R≥0. If r≥0, then ∣r∣=r; if r<0, then ∣r∣=−r. In either case ∣r∣R2=r2, including r=0.

2.1F4step 1.1step 1.2algebra

By [F4] and step 1.1, the modulus of the canonical image of r is r2+02=r2, whose radicand is nonnegative by step 1.2.

3.1F7step 2.1step 1.3∎

Step 2.1 and step 1.3 identify the complex modulus of the canonical image of r and ∣r∣R as nonnegative square roots of the same r2. By uniqueness in [F7], they are equal.
