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 h:MN, term t and assignment s, thsN=h(tsM). If h is a surjective strong homomorphism, then M,sϕ iff N,hsϕ for every equality-free formula ϕ. If h 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.

[F1]

For every set signature L and L-structure M there is a unique set SatMFormL×Mω. Writing M,sϕ for membership, its clauses are M,su=v    us=vs, M,sR(t1,,tn)    (t1s,,tns)RM, M,s¬ϕ    not M,sϕ, M,sϕψ    (M,sϕ and M,sψ), M,sxϕ    bM (M,s[x:=b]ϕ). The set is uniformly first-order definable from L and the structure data. (Existence and uniqueness of set satisfaction)

[F2]

An L-structure M has a nonempty set carrier M, values cMM, total functions fM:Ma(f)M, and relations RMMa(R), supplied as set-indexed interpretation data. Logical equality is literal equality on M. An assignment is a function s:ωM, also written s(vi)=s(i). The update s[x:=b] changes only the value at variable x to bM. For structures in the same signature a homomorphism h:MN 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 Mω are sets. Conventions and prerequisites: def-set-signature-and-finite-syntax-strings. (Structures and variable assignments)

Proof

1.1

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.

2.1

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 h is an isomorphism. Negation and conjunction preserve these equivalences.

3.1

A witness aM is sent to h(a)N, and h(s[x:=a])=(hs)[x:=h(a)]. Conversely, for a witness bN, surjectivity supplies one a with h(a)=b. 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.
