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.

Infinite Ramsey holds for every set equipped with an injection from N\mathbb N

Statement

Let XX be a set equipped with an injection j:NXj:\mathbb N\to X. For every positive kk, every finite colouring of [X]k[X]^k has an infinite monochromatic subset contained in j[N]j[\mathbb N]. The terms injection, equinumerous and monochromatic are those of Injection, surjection, bijection, Equinumerous sets, ABA \approx B and ABA \preceq B and Finite colourings of kk-element subsets, monochromatic sets, and the arrow notations N(s,t)2N\to(s,t)^2 and N(r)ckN\to(r)^k_c.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An injection j:NXj:\mathbb N\to X and a finite colouring c:[X]kCc:[X]^k\to C.

[L1]

Every finite colouring of [N]k[\mathbb N]^k has an infinite monochromatic set, in ZF (Infinite Ramsey theorem on N\mathbb N: every finite colouring of [N]k[\mathbb N]^k has an infinite monochromatic set, in ZF).

[F1]

ff is injective (one-to-one) if f(x)=f(y)f(x) = f(y) implies x=yx = y (Injection, surjection, bijection).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1

Define a colouring of [N]k[\mathbb N]^k by Ac(j[A])A\mapsto c(j[A]). Injectivity in [F1] makes j[A]j[A] a kk-element set, so [L1] gives an infinite homogeneous HNH\subseteq\mathbb N.

L1F1
2.1

By [F1], the restriction jHj|_H is a bijection from HH to j[H]j[H], so j[H]j[H] is infinite. The pullback definition shows every kk-subset of j[H]j[H] has the same cc-colour.
