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.

Nonstandard models of the complete natural-number theory

Definition

Let LN have a constant symbol 0, a unary function symbol S and a binary relation symbol <. The standard natural-number structure is N=(ω,0,S,<), with 0=, S(n)=n{n} and m<n meaning mn, as in The natural numbers N (von Neumann). Its complete semantic theory is

Th(N)={σSentLN:Nσ}.

This is a set by Separation on sentence codes using Existence and uniqueness of set satisfaction; sentences are assignment independent by Coincidence for term values and satisfaction. It is called complete because for every sentence σ exactly one of σ,¬σ belongs, by the negation clause and ordinary classical reasoning. It is a theory in the sense of Theories, models and semantic consequence. No internally definable truth predicate in the arithmetic structure is asserted.

The numeral n is the closed term given by 0=0 and n+1=S(n). This recursion takes place on the set of term codes and is justified by The recursion theorem. In particular 1=S(0) and 2=S(S(0)); the numerals denote 0,1,2 respectively, and term evaluation by Term denotation inductively gives nN=n for every n.

A nonstandard model of this complete natural-number theory is a nonempty set LN-structure MTh(N) that is not isomorphic to N. This definition does not assert existence. The language is deliberately (0,S,<) rather than the larger arithmetic language used in the cited source; the complete theory and the meaning of nonstandard are relative to this declared language.

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.
