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.
Homology object of a chain complex
Definition
Let be a chain complex and let be the canonical morphism supplied by The boundary subobject factors through the cycle subobject.
The th homology object of is the cokernel
Equivalently, one writes with the understanding that this quotient notation abbreviates the cokernel of the canonical monomorphism from boundaries to cycles.
