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 point retains the second gauge stabilizer
Example
Let consist of one vertex. Take , , trivial action and , with unit phase weight. There is one background object, two distinct raw -automorphisms and three -automorphisms of each. The higher gauging sum is . Identifying arrows by their effects on the singleton object set would give ; retaining but discarding -arrows would give .

Facts & Assumptions
Given: the one-vertex complex and finite data of the Example.
Finite 2-group homotopy gauging and cochain gluing gives point mass and the full gauge normalization.
Verification
There are no edges or faces, so the only background is empty. A raw -arrow has one freely chosen -label and no edge labels, giving two arrows. A -arrow preserves that label and is any of the three vertex -labels, since its coboundary has no edges. Thus and .
The higher mass is by [F1]. The quotient by induced object functions has only the identity, of mass ; the ordinary groupoid with only the two raw -arrows has automorphism order , of mass . These distinct values demonstrate the retained higher stabilizer.
