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: An integer , a scalar field , and a vector field .
Periodic torus calculus: , integration is Riemann integration over , fields are periodic lifts, and first derivatives are bounded, uniformly continuous, and Riemann integrable on .
The mean value theorem, as the case of Cauchy's: for continuous on with and differentiable on there is with : if a real function is continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on its interior, some interior derivative equals its average rate of change across the interval.
Proof
Given: The fields and periodic-calculus convention in [F1].
Fix and . Put and for . The uniform-grid Riemann sum converges to : if is the supremum oscillation of between points of at distance at most , the upper-minus-lower Darboux sum on this grid is at most , which tends to by [F1], and lies between those Darboux sums.
For each grid point , apply [F2] to the one-variable restriction of along the th coordinate segment of length . Its difference quotient differs from by at most . The sum of these difference quotients over each complete -cycle telescopes to by periodicity; when the remaining-coordinate index is the single empty tuple. Hence . By step 1.1, .
Apply step 2.1 to each component . The finite sum is uniformly continuous; the same Darboux-gap bound from step 1.1, with its own modulus of continuity, proves it is Riemann integrable and that its uniform-grid sums converge. Each such sum is the sum of the corresponding component sums, so taking their limits gives .
The product field is periodic. For each component, expanding its difference quotient as and taking proves . These derivatives are finite sums of products of bounded uniformly continuous fields, hence uniformly continuous; the Darboux-gap argument of step 1.1 makes them Riemann integrable, so qualifies in step 3.1. The same argument makes and integrable, and the finite Riemann sums are linear. Applying step 3.1 to therefore gives . Rearranging proves the second identity.
