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.
Pushouts of group homomorphisms
Definition
Given homomorphisms and as in Monoid homomorphism and group homomorphism, a pushout is a group with homomorphisms and such that , and such that every compatible pair , factors through a unique with and . The maps need not be injective.
