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 Eilenberg–Moore forgetful functor creates every colimit in the base that the monad and its square preserve
Statement
Let be a diagram of algebras whose underlying diagram has a colimit in . If both and preserve this colimit, then there is a unique algebra structure on making every an algebra homomorphism, and the resulting cocone is a colimit in . Thus creates every such colimit.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The diagram, its structure maps , the base colimit , and preservation of that colimit by and .
Creation of colimits is the cocone dual of creation of limits (Preservation, reflection, and creation of limits and colimits; continuous and cocontinuous functors), with colimits as in Limits and colimits as terminal cones and initial cocones, with existence and uniqueness in their universal properties.
Proof
Since preserves the colimit, the maps induce a unique satisfying for every .
Precomposition with every proves . Precomposition with every proves ; these families are jointly epic because and preserve the colimit, so is an algebra and every is an algebra homomorphism.
Any algebra cocone has a unique underlying mediating arrow ; precomposition with every shows , so is automatically an algebra homomorphism. This proves the lifted universal property and the conditional creation claim.
