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.
Convergence and cluster points of a filter on a topological space
Definition
Let be a filter on a topological space and let .
- converges to , written , if every neighbourhood of belongs to .
- is a cluster point of if for every neighbourhood of and every .
The second condition says precisely that the neighbourhood filter at and have no disjoint members.
