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.

The opposite ring $R^{o p}$

Definition

For a unital ring $R$ , the opposite ring $R^{o p}$ has the same underlying abelian group, identity, and addition as $R$ , with multiplication $a ⋆ b : = b a$ . Associativity and both distributive laws follow from those of $R$ with the order reversed, and the same element $1$ is a two-sided identity. Thus the displayed operations really form a unital ring, including when $R$ is the zero ring.

Ring: an abelian group under addition and a monoid under multiplication, with multiplication distributing over addition on both sides
