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.
Isomorphisms preserve satisfaction
Statement
For any homomorphism , term and assignment , . If is a surjective strong homomorphism, then iff for every equality-free formula . If is an isomorphism, the equivalence holds for all formulas, including equality.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Work in ZF unless the statement explicitly weakens or supplements it; fix the objects and hypotheses of the statement.
For every set signature and -structure there is a unique set . Writing for membership, its clauses are The set is uniformly first-order definable from and the structure data. (Existence and uniqueness of set satisfaction)
An -structure has a nonempty set carrier , values , total functions , and relations , supplied as set-indexed interpretation data. Logical equality is literal equality on . An assignment is a function , also written . The update changes only the value at variable to . For structures in the same signature a homomorphism preserves constants and function values and takes related tuples to related tuples. It is strong if it also reflects every nonlogical relation. An embedding is an injective strong homomorphism; an isomorphism is a surjective embedding. A substructure has a nonempty subcarrier containing all constants, closed under all functions, with functions and relations restricted from the larger structure. A reduct keeps the carrier and only the interpretations for a smaller signature; an expansion is the reverse relationship. All finite powers and the assignment set are sets. Conventions and prerequisites: def-set-signature-and-finite-syntax-strings. (Structures and variable assignments)
Proof
For variables the term identity is the definition of composition; for constants it is preservation of constants. For a function application, use the identities for its arguments and preservation of that function. Constructor induction proves the term claim.
The term identity and strong preservation give equivalence for relation atoms. For equality atoms, the term identity gives the forward direction; injectivity gives the reverse direction when is an isomorphism. Negation and conjunction preserve these equivalences.
A witness is sent to , and . Conversely, for a witness , surjectivity supplies one with . The induction hypothesis on the quantified body then transfers witnesses in both directions. Thus formula induction proves both asserted scopes, with injectivity needed precisely for equality.

4 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.
