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.
Fibration sequence is natural
Statement
Let and be Serre fibrations, and let based maps , satisfy strictly. Then restricts to and the induced maps commute with every arrow in the two fibration LESs, including the pointed-set tail. They also preserve the component actions: . No AC is needed.
Facts & Assumptions
The fibration LES includes the component action defined by lifted path endpoints. Long exact sequence of homotopy groups of a fibration
Connecting classes are independent of representative and lift. The fibration connecting map is independent of lift and representative
Based maps induce functorial homotopy and component maps. Higher homotopy groups are functorial and based homotopy invariant
Proof
Given: The two based fibrations and strictly commuting square of the statement.
If , then , so restriction defines the continuous based . The identities and imply commutation of the inclusion and projection squares in all degrees by F3, including maps of component sets.
For a based cube in choose a lift constant at on its faces. Then lifts and is constant at on those faces. On the distinguished face its restriction is composed with the restriction of . F2 therefore gives . In degree one this is equality of the components of the initial endpoints, so the same calculation covers that square.
If lifts a loop beginning at , then lifts beginning at and ends at . The independence of component lifts in F1 therefore gives the action identity on every component, without selecting a compatible family of lifting functions.
Steps 1.1–1.3 establish all arrows and the action. Basepoints exclude empty based fibers but no connectedness or surjectivity is needed; components not meeting the image of cause no change in the formulas. For point spaces and constant cubes the equations remain identities; degree zero stays a pointed-set assertion. Every choice above is one representative or lift for one equality, hence no AC.

Dependency tree · two levels
10 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
