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.
Assuming countable choice, the outer set function induced by a premeasure is an outer measure
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. The outer set function induced by a premeasure is an outer measure.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable choice, an algebra on , a premeasure , and its induced outer set function .
Assuming countable choice, the infimum of countable covering costs defines an outer measure. (Assuming countable choice, countable covering costs define an outer measure)
An algebra of subsets of contains , is closed under complements relative to and binary unions, and therefore also contains . (Algebras of subsets)
Proof
The algebra law in [F1] gives , and the premeasure normalization gives . Thus and satisfy every hypothesis of [L1].
Applying [L1] to the data in step 1.1 shows that the induced outer set function is an outer measure.

Dependency tree · two levels
15 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
