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.
Separable degree is multiplicative in finite towers:
Statement
For every finite tower ,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite tower and an algebraic closure .
Separable degree counts embeddings into an algebraic closure (The separable degree as a count of embeddings into an algebraic closure).
Restriction from -embeddings of to -embeddings of is surjective, and every fibre has cardinality (Restriction partitions embeddings in a finite tower into extension fibres).
Proof
By [L2], the finite set is the disjoint union of the restriction fibres indexed by .
There are fibres by [L1], and each has elements by [L2]. Counting the disjoint union gives the displayed product.
