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.

Injective modules and the extension property

Definition

A left $R$ -module $I$ is injective if it has the extension property for monomorphisms: whenever $u : A \to B$ is an injective module homomorphism and $f : A \to I$ is a module homomorphism, there exists a module homomorphism $\tilde{f} : B \to I$ with $\tilde{f} \circ u = f$ (Module homomorphism and isomorphism, kernel, image and cokernel, Injection, surjection, bijection).

The extension need not be unique. Injectivity asks for an extension along every module embedding.
