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.
Smooth charts, atlases, and structures with boundary
Definition
A boundary chart is a homeomorphism , where is open and is relatively open. Two charts are compatible if each transition map is smooth in the local-extension sense. A smooth atlas is a compatible covering atlas; its smooth structure is its maximal compatible atlas.
