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.
Homotopically projective bounded above complex
Definition
For cochain complexes put , with . This is the reindexing of The Hom complex of chain complexes. A complex is homotopically projective, or K-projective, if for every acyclic complex and every integer . Equivalently is acyclic: the degree-zero Hom/homotopy identification of Hom in the homotopy category is zero-degree homology of the Hom complex, applied after shifting , identifies these groups with its cohomology (a boundary differs only by the invertible sign ).
The bounded-above case additionally requires for all sufficiently large , as in Bounded, bounded below, and bounded above complexes. Boundedness is not part of the general K-projective predicate. Nor is termwise projectivity: a contractible complex has zero Hom from it in and is K-projective irrespective of its terms.
