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 morphism of chain maps induces a chain map of cones

Statement

Let $(a, b) : f \to g$ be a morphism of chain maps. Then the degreewise formula $Cone (a, b)_{n} (y, x) : = (b_{n} (y), a_{n - 1} (x))$ defines a chain map $Cone (f) \to Cone (g) .$

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A morphism of chain maps $(a, b) : f : C_{∙} \to D_{∙} \to g : C_{∙}^{'} \to D_{∙}^{'}$ .

[L1]

A morphism of chain maps is a commuting square $b f = g a$ (A morphism of chain maps).

[L2]

The cone differential is $d (y, x) = (d^{D} (y) + f (x), - d^{C} (x))$ (The mapping cone of a chain map).

Proof

1.1L2givenconstructalgebra

Define $Φ_{n} (y, x) : = (b_{n} (y), a_{n - 1} (x))$ . Using [L2], the composite $d^{Cone (g)} Φ$ has first component $d^{D^{'}} b (y) + g a (x) .$

2.1L1step 1.1algebra∎

Since $a$ and $b$ are chain maps and [L1] gives $g a = b f$ , the same first component is $b (d^{D} (y) + f (x))$ , while the second component is $- a (d^{C} (x))$ . Hence $d^{Cone (g)} Φ = Φ d^{Cone (f)}$ , so $Φ$ is a chain map.
