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 zero sets of sine and cosine and the least positive common period 2 pi
Statement
For every real , Both sine and cosine have period , and no smaller positive number is a common period.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A real .
is the first positive sine zero, and sine is positive on (Pi is the first positive zero of sine).
Shifts by negate sine and cosine, while shifts by exchange them up to sign (Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi).
Every real has an integer part; every integer is a natural number or the negative of a natural number; natural induction and the integer-power laws are valid (Integer part: for every real there is exactly one integer with , Integer powers , The principle of mathematical induction, Laws of integer exponents).
Proof
Natural induction applied to the shift gives and for every natural . Applying these identities at gives the matching backward shifts; since every integer is or and , the displayed identities hold for every integer .
Choose an integer with and put . By [L1] and step 1.1, exactly when , hence exactly when .
The quarter-turn shift converts the sine zero set into exactly when .
Step 1.1 with gives period . A positive common period has , hence by step 2.1; fails for cosine because , so .
Therefore is the least positive common period.
