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.

[T]B′C′=PC′←C[T]BCPB←B′

Statement

Let T:V→W be linear. If B,B′ are ordered bases of V and C,C′ are ordered bases of W, then

[T]B′C′=PC′←C[T]BCPB←B′.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The linear map and four ordered bases in the Statement.

[L1]

PY←X is the matrix of the identity map converting X-coordinates to Y-coordinates (The change-of-basis matrix PC←B=[id⁡V]BC).

[L2]

Matrix representation sends a composite of linear maps to the product of their matrices in compatible intermediate bases ([S∘T]BD=[S]CD[T]BC).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1givenL1

Regard T from B′ to C′ as the composite of the identity on V from B′ to B, then T from B to C, then the identity on W from C to C′.

2.1step 1.1L1L2

Applying [L2] twice, with the matrix of the last-applied map on the left, gives [T]B′C′=PC′←C[T]BCPB←B′.

3.1step 2.1L1L2∎

The right factor is square of size dim⁡V, the middle factor has shape (dim⁡W)×(dim⁡V), and the left factor is square of size dim⁡W, so the product is defined and has the asserted shape, proving the formula.
