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.
Lexicographic order on exponent tuples and the multidegree of a nonzero polynomial
Definition
For , write when, at the first coordinate where they differ, the coordinate of is larger. This is the lexicographic order.
If , its leading multidegree is the lexicographically greatest exponent tuple for which ; the corresponding monomial and coefficient are its leading monomial and leading coefficient. The maximum exists because a polynomial has finite support.
