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.
The quotient that identifies points indistinguishable by a real function algebra
Definition
Let be a compact Hausdorff space and let be a real function algebra in the sense of Unital, point-separating, and nowhere-vanishing real function algebras on a compact Hausdorff space. Define a relation on by
This is an equivalence relation: equality gives reflexivity, symmetry of equality gives symmetry, and transitivity follows by applying transitivity of equality to and for each . The indistinguishability quotient of by is equipped with the quotient topology of the canonical surjection as defined in The quotient topology of a surjection, quotient maps, saturated sets, and the quotient of a space by an equivalence relation with its canonical projection. Thus two points have the same image under exactly when no member of distinguishes them.
