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.
The relative algebraic closure of in has no further algebraic elements inside
Statement
Let . If is algebraic over , then . Equivalently, is relatively algebraically closed in .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A field extension , its relative algebraic closure , and an element algebraic over .
The field consists exactly of the elements of algebraic over (The relative algebraic closure of in an extension ).
Algebraicity is transitive in towers of field extensions (Algebraicity is transitive in towers of field extensions).
An algebraic element generates a finite simple extension (An element is algebraic over if and only if its simple extension is finite).
Every finite extension is algebraic (Every finite field extension is algebraic).
Proof
By [L1], every element of is algebraic over , so is algebraic.
The element is algebraic over by hypothesis, so [L3] makes finite and [L4] makes it algebraic. Applying [L2] to shows that is algebraic over .
By [L1], an element of algebraic over belongs to , hence .
