Reason: Initial published version: identity matrix is a two-sided multiplicative identity; fills the dependency gap flagged by the reviewer on the uniqueness-of-inverse proof. Approved by Aaron.

Let m,nm,n\in \reftext{def:natural-numbers-2026a}{N\mathbb{N}} and let AA be a real m×nm\times n matrix. Let ImI_m and InI_n denote the \reftext{def:identity-matrix-2026a}{identity matrices} of sizes mm and nn, and let the products be taken in the sense of \ref{def:product-real-matrices-2026a}. Then

AIn=AandImA=A.A\,I_n=A\qquad\text{and}\qquad I_m\,A=A.

In particular, for a square matrix AA of size nn, AIn=InA=AA\,I_n=I_n\,A=A.
