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.
A transverse predictor hyperplane selects one nearby point of a regular branch
Statement
Let be a unit-speed reparameterization of the unique locally normalized solution curve supplied by A regular solution curve has a unique local arclength chart and a quadratic predictor defect, with . Let be a unit vector, let , and suppose that for some , Let satisfy Then there is exactly one such that Thus the predictor hyperplane has exactly one intersection with this local branch segment containing its basepoint. The statement is local to the supplied chart.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The chart , , unit normal , , , , and with the conditions in the Statement.
A regular solution curve has a unique local arclength chart and a quadratic predictor defect: is a unit-speed reparameterization of the unique local solution curve on an interval containing .
The chain rule for total derivatives: : the derivative of a linear functional composed with a differentiable curve is the functional applied to the curve derivative.
A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion and Newton–Leibniz needs only continuity on , differentiability on , and a Riemann-integrable extension of the interior derivative: a scalar function's increment on a compact interval is the integral of its derivative.
If on and both are integrable then ; and : an integrable function bounded below by on an interval of length has integral at least .
Intermediate value theorem, by bisection with a canonical left-half rule: a continuous function on takes every value between and : a continuous real function takes every value between its endpoint values.
Proof
Given: The chart and inequalities in the Statement.
Define on . By [F2], . The fundamental theorem in [F3] therefore gives by [F4]. Since and , we have and . If , then is a zero; if , the intermediate value theorem [F5] gives with .
If , [F2]–[F4] give Thus is strictly increasing, so it has at most one zero on . The zero found in step 1.1 is therefore unique.

Dependency tree · two levels
59 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.
