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 m∈n, as in The natural numbers N (von Neumann). Its complete semantic theory is

Th⁡(N)={σ∈Sent⁡LN:N⊨σ}.

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 n‾N=n for every n.

A nonstandard model of this complete natural-number theory is a nonempty set LN-structure M⊨Th⁡(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

14 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.
