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.
Every monadic functor is conservative
Statement
Every monadic functor reflects isomorphisms; equivalently, every monadic functor is conservative (Conservative functor).
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A monad , its algebra homomorphisms (Algebra and algebra homomorphism for a monad), a monadic functor with comparison equivalence as in Monadic and strictly monadic functors, and the fact that fully faithful functors reflect isomorphisms (Every fully faithful functor reflects isomorphisms).
Proof
Let be an algebra homomorphism whose underlying morphism has inverse . From , the inverse equations, and functoriality, one obtains by composing with and cancelling it; hence is an algebra homomorphism.
Therefore the Eilenberg–Moore forgetful functor reflects isomorphisms: an underlying inverse is automatically an inverse inside the algebra category by step 1.1.
For a monadic , its comparison is an equivalence and hence fully faithful. If is an isomorphism, step 2.1 makes an isomorphism, and full faithfulness reflects that isomorphism back to ; thus is conservative.
