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.
A morphism of short exact sequences of complexes
Definition
A morphism of short exact sequences of complexes is a commutative ladder in which each row is a short exact sequence of complexes and each vertical map is a chain map.
Equivalently, it is a triple of chain maps , , and for which the obvious squares with the inclusion and projection maps commute in every degree.
