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.

Regular Sequence First Element Boundary

Statement

A nonempty $M$ -regular sequence has $M \neq 0$ , has first element a non-zero-divisor on $M$ , and has nonzero terminal quotient; thus neither a unit nor a zero module satisfies the adopted nonempty convention.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The rings, finite sequences, modules, and local hypotheses stated in the claim. The declared prerequisites used here are Regular Sequence On A Module.

Proof

technique · direct

1.1

At the first stage the definition requires injectivity of $x_{1}$ on $M$ .

givenalgebra

2.1

It also requires all stage quotients, especially $M$ and the terminal quotient, to be nonzero; units and $M = 0$ therefore fail.

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.
