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 dense subset of of Lebesgue measure zero containing every rational, and its meager complement of full measure
Example
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Then there is a dense set with and . Consequently is meager and has full measure on every bounded interval.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice.
Every subset of has a measurable hull of the same outer measure (Every subset of has a measurable hull of the same outer measure).
Every at most countable subset of is Lebesgue null (Every at most countable subset of is Lebesgue null; in particular ).
is a set of when there is a sequence of open subsets of with ( and subsets of a topological space, agreeing with the real-line notion).
is nowhere dense when the interior of its closure is empty, and a set is meager when it is a countable union of nowhere dense sets (Nowhere dense, meager (first category), residual, and second category subsets of ).
Assuming countable choice, a box in with parameters is Lebesgue measurable of measure (A box in with parameters is Lebesgue measurable of measure , whichever of its faces are included).
Assuming countable choice, is a complete measure on the sigma-algebra (Assuming countable choice, is a sigma-algebra containing every elementary set and is a complete measure extending elementary volume).
Verification
The rational line is countable, hence null by [L2]. Applying [L1] to gives a set with .
Because is dense in and , the set is dense; and [F1] records that it is .
Write with each open, as in [F1]. Since is dense and , every is dense, so each is closed with empty interior; hence is meager by [F2]. Now let be any bounded interval in . Step 1.1 gives because , while [L3] makes Lebesgue measurable with finite measure equal to its length; therefore [L4] applied to the disjoint union gives , so the complement has full measure on every bounded interval.
