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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The quotient-circle homeomorphism and its inverse.
is a homeomorphism from to the unit circle and sends to ( is a homeomorphism from to the unit circle).
is an isomorphism ( is an isomorphism).
Every pointed continuous map induces a well-defined group homomorphism ; moreover, for pointed continuous maps, and (Induced fundamental-group maps are well defined, functorial and invariant under based homotopy).
for every integer ( for every integer ).
An isomorphism is a bijective group homomorphism (Group isomorphisms, automorphisms and the set ).
Proof
The based homeomorphism and its inverse induce homomorphisms and . By [L3], their composites are the induced maps of the two identity maps, so they are mutually inverse. Hence is a group isomorphism in the sense of [L5].
Compose from step 1.1 with the degree isomorphism [L2]. The composite is an isomorphism from to .
The homeomorphism sends to by [L1]. Under the isomorphism of step 2.1 this geometric loop is sent back to and then to by [L4]. This includes and negative integers.
