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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The oriented simplex and the coefficient functions in the Statement.
Continuous differential-form integrals over smooth singular chains in Euclidean domains defines both integrals by affine pullback coefficients, with the same positive parameter coordinates used in the Statement.
Standard orientation of the affine simplex gives the signed-face formula and the outward induced orientations.
Newton–Leibniz needs only continuity on , differentiability on , and a Riemann-integrable extension of the interior derivative gives the endpoint difference for a continuous derivative on a compact interval with .
Fubini over a bounded Jordan set when all but a content-zero family of sections are integrable integrates the continuous derivative coefficients over the coordinate sections of the compact Jordan simplex.
Change of variables for an injective map on a compact Jordan set permits the affine coordinate changes between the upper face and its ordered simplex parameters, with the absolute determinant factor.
Linearity, monotonicity, the absolute-value estimate and coordinate-slice additivity for the Riemann integral in gives finite linearity and additivity of the Riemann integrals.
Directional derivatives and partial derivatives of a map defines the coordinate derivatives used in the formula for .
Continuously differentiable maps, local inverses, and local diffeomorphisms defines continuously differentiable coefficient functions with continuous first derivative.
The proof of Continuous differential-form integrals over smooth singular chains in Euclidean domains establishes that every standard affine simplex is compact Jordan and every continuous pullback coefficient on it is Riemann integrable. In particular, this applies to and each .
Proof
Given: The oriented simplex and form in the Statement.
Each is the standard two-simplex up to a coordinate permutation, and is the standard three-simplex, so [F9] gives that all are compact Jordan. The coefficient functions and are continuous on them by the hypothesis [F8], so their integrals exist by [F9]. Fix and fix the other two coordinates in . The -section of is . If , [F3] makes its integral of the upper endpoint value of minus the lower endpoint value. If the upper endpoint is , the section is a singleton: its bounded integrand has zero integral (cover the point by intervals of arbitrarily small length), and the endpoint difference is also zero. Thus the same identity holds for every section. Integrating this identity over by [F4], then summing over , writes as the sum of all upper endpoint terms minus all lower endpoint terms.
On the three lower faces, in increasing order of their remaining coordinates, the induced boundary integrals are on , on , and on . The first and third signs are the boundary signs in [F2]; the middle face has positive signed face but the restriction of is already . Thus the lower endpoint terms from step 1.1 are exactly the three lower-face contributions to .
On the upper face, set . Substitution gives . Its outward normal is proportional to , while the ordered tangent vectors have cross product , so gives the positive face orientation. The ordered affine face parameters differ from by an affine map with determinant of absolute value ; [F5] therefore identifies the upper endpoint sum in step 1.1 with the upper-face integral. Adding the four face contributions using [F6] proves .
