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.

A family of continuous unit-interval-valued functions that separates points from closed sets

Definition

Let XX be a topological space. A family F\mathcal F of continuous maps f:X[0,1]f:X\to[0,1] (Continuity of a map of topological spaces at a point and globally, Intervals of R\mathbb{R}: the nine order-convex forms, nondegeneracy, and length) separates points from closed sets when both conditions hold:

  1. for every distinct x,yXx,y\in X, some fFf\in\mathcal F has f(x)f(y)f(x)\ne f(y); and
  2. for every closed CXC\subseteq X and every xCx\notin C, some fFf\in\mathcal F satisfies f(x)=1f(x)=1 and f[C]={0}f[C]=\{0\}.

The empty family has these properties precisely when X=X=\varnothing. Indeed, if xXx\in X, the closed set C=C=\varnothing makes clause 2 demand a member of the family. Thus a one-point space still needs a separating function for its point and the empty closed set; no coordinate is silently selected in either case.
