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.

Continuous -valued curves on a nonempty compact interval form a complete space in the supremum metric (Continuous -valued curves on a nonempty compact interval form a complete supremum-metric space).
A closed subset of a complete metric space is complete in ZF, without a choice axiom (Closed subspaces of complete metric spaces are complete; the converse under countable choice, claim 2).

The vector Riemann integral is componentwise and additive over subintervals (The derivative and the Riemann integral of a vector-valued function: an intrinsic derivative and a componentwise integral). A continuous real-valued function on a compact interval is Riemann integrable, so the continuous vector integrand is componentwise integrable (A continuous function on is Riemann integrable, by Heine-Cantor and Riemann's criterion).
A contraction of a nonempty complete metric space into itself has a unique fixed point, its iterates converge, and for the iterates satisfy (A contraction of a nonempty complete metric space into itself has exactly one fixed point, the limit of the iterates from any starting point).
A continuous curve solves the first-order IVP exactly when it satisfies the associated Volterra equation (A first-order initial value problem is equivalent to its Volterra integral equation).

Proof
The constant waveform belongs to , so is nonempty. By [F2] the ambient continuous-curve space is complete. If and uniformly, then and, for every , ; letting gives . Hence is closed and complete by the choice-free direction [F3].
For , continuity of and the field Lipschitz bound imply as ; this holds with one-sided limits at endpoints. Thus is continuous and componentwise integrable by [F5]. For , additivity and [F4] give ; also and . Thus .
For and , [F4] and the field Lipschitz bound yield . Taking the supremum proves that is a contraction with .
By [F1], [F2]–[F3], and step 1.3, [F6] applies to the nonempty complete space and the map . It gives a unique fixed point and convergence of the iterates from every .
The fixed-point identity is . By [F7], this is equivalent to the IVP , .
Fix . By [F6], for every , . Since in , the triangle inequality gives ; passing to the limit proves the stated bound. The algorithm reports tolerance-certified only when this bound is at most ; when the finite budget ends first, it reports budget-exhausted without claiming the requested tolerance.
