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.

Proof
By the principal inverse convention and , . For , the principal inverse sine is continuous on and differentiable on , since . The mean value theorem therefore gives for some . Since , this yields . In particular, gives .
The positivity in step 1.1 permits taking reciprocals and gives . The hypothesis gives , so . Also , hence . Thus , as required; and .
