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 two-cell partition of a three-element set, the equivalence relation it induces listed pair by pair, and the quotient set recovered from it

Example

Write u:=u := \varnothing, v:={}v := \{\varnothing\} and w:={,{}}w := \{\varnothing,\{\varnothing\}\}, which are pairwise distinct, and put A:={u,v}{w}A := \{u,v\} \cup \{w\}. The collection {{u,v},{w}}\{\{u,v\},\{w\}\} has nonempty cells, covers AA, and its two cells are disjoint. The equivalence relation it induces on AA, namely "aa and bb lie in the same cell", is

  =  {(u,u),(u,v)}{(v,u),(v,v)}{(w,w)},\sim \;=\; \{(u,u),(u,v)\} \cup \{(v,u),(v,v)\} \cup \{(w,w)\},

with classes [u]=[v]={u,v}[u] = [v] = \{u,v\} and [w]={w}[w] = \{w\}, so that A/={{u,v},{w}}A/{\sim} = \{\{u,v\},\{w\}\} is the original collection again.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: u:=u := \varnothing, v:={}v := \{\varnothing\}, w:={,{}}w := \{\varnothing,\{\varnothing\}\}, A:={u,v}{w}A := \{u,v\} \cup \{w\}, and \sim as displayed.

[L1]

reflexive: aaa \sim a for every aAa \in A (Equivalence relation, equivalence class, and the quotient set A/A/{\sim}).

[L2]

symmetric: aba \sim b implies bab \sim a, for all a,bAa, b \in A (Equivalence relation, equivalence class, and the quotient set A/A/{\sim}).

[L3]

transitive: aba \sim b and bcb \sim c imply aca \sim c, for all a,b,cAa, b, c \in A (Equivalence relation, equivalence class, and the quotient set A/A/{\sim}).

[L4]

[a]  :=  {bA  :  ab}    A[a] \;:=\; \{\, b \in A \;:\; a \sim b \,\} \;\subseteq\; A (Equivalence relation, equivalence class, and the quotient set A/A/{\sim}).

[L5]

A/  :=  {[a]  :  aA}A/{\sim} \;:=\; \{\, [a] \;:\; a \in A \,\} (Equivalence relation, equivalence class, and the quotient set A/A/{\sim}).

[L7]

{x,y}\{x,y\} is the set whose elements are exactly xx and yy, and {x}:={x,x}\{x\} := \{x,x\} (The unordered pair {x,y}\{x,y\} and the singleton {x}={x,x}\{x\} = \{x,x\}).

[L8]

There is exactly one set with no elements, written \varnothing (There is exactly one set with no elements, written \varnothing).

[L11]

(a,b)=(c,d)(a,b) = (c,d) if and only if a=ca = c and b=db = d ((a,b)=(c,d)(a,b) = (c,d) if and only if a=ca = c and b=db = d).

[L12]

(a,b):={{a},{a,b}}(a,b) := \{\{a\},\{a,b\}\} (The Kuratowski ordered pair (a,b):={{a},{a,b}}(a,b) := \{\{a\},\{a,b\}\}).

1.1

uu, vv and ww are pairwise distinct: uu has no element, vv has exactly uu, and ww has vv as an element while vv does not. So AA has exactly those three elements, and \sim is a relation on AA, each of its five listed pairs having both coordinates in AA.

2.1

\sim is an equivalence relation on AA: it contains (u,u)(u,u), (v,v)(v,v) and (w,w)(w,w), so it is reflexive on AA; its pairs with distinct coordinates are (u,v)(u,v) and (v,u)(v,u), and each of those has its reverse present, so it is symmetric; and every composable pair of its members has its composite present, since chains through uu and vv stay inside {u,v}\{u,v\} and ww relates only to itself.

3.1

The classes are as stated: [u]={bA:ub}={u,v}[u] = \{b \in A : u \sim b\} = \{u,v\}, [v]={u,v}[v] = \{u,v\} by the pairs (v,u)(v,u) and (v,v)(v,v), and [w]={w}[w] = \{w\}. Hence A/A/{\sim} has exactly the two elements {u,v}\{u,v\} and {w}\{w\}, which is the collection we started from.

The collection is therefore a partition of AA in the sense of the classes being nonempty, covering AA and pairwise equal or disjoint, and it is recovered as the quotient set of the equivalence relation it induces.
