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.
Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi
Statement
For every real , In particular,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A real and .
The addition formulas and Pythagorean identity hold (The addition formulas for sine and cosine, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine).
Proof
From , , and , one gets .
Substituting into the addition formulas gives and .
Applying step 2.1 twice gives the shifts by and the listed special values.
Depends on
Pi as twice the smallest positive zero of cosine
Cosine has a smallest positive zero, lying strictly between zero and two
The addition formulas for sine and cosine
Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine
Sine is positive and cosine is strictly decreasing on (0,2), with cos 2 at most -1/3
