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 four-pair relation on $\{\varnothing,\{\varnothing\},\{\varnothing,\{\varnothing\}\}\}$ with its domain, range, field, inverse, restriction, image and self-composite computed

Example

Write $u := \varnothing$ , $v := \{\varnothing\}$ and $w := \{\varnothing,\{\varnothing\}\}$ ; these are pairwise distinct, since $u$ has no element, $v$ has exactly the element $u$ , and $w$ has $v$ as an element while $v$ does not. Put $A := \{u,v\} \cup \{w\}$ and

$R := \{(u,v),(v,w)\} \cup \{(w,u),(u,u)\}.$

Then $R$ is a relation on $A$ with

$\operatorname{dom} R = \operatorname{ran} R = \operatorname{fld} R = A, \qquad R^{-1} = \{(v,u),(w,v)\} \cup \{(u,w),(u,u)\},$

$R \restriction \{u\} = \{(u,v),(u,u)\}, \qquad R[\{u\} \cup \{v\}] = A, \qquad R \circ R = \{(u,w),(u,v)\} \cup \{(u,u),(v,u)\} \cup \{(w,v),(w,u)\}.$

Facts & Assumptions

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

[L1]

A relation is a set $R$ every element of which is an ordered pair (Relation, $\operatorname{dom} R$ , $\operatorname{ran} R$ , $\operatorname{fld} R$ , and the specialisations "relation from $A$ to $B$ " and "relation on $A$ ").

[L2]

$\operatorname{dom} R := \{\, a : \exists b\ (a,b) \in R \,\}, \qquad \operatorname{ran} R := \{\, b : \exists a\ (a,b) \in R \,\}$ (Relation, $\operatorname{dom} R$ , $\operatorname{ran} R$ , $\operatorname{fld} R$ , and the specialisations "relation from $A$ to $B$ " and "relation on $A$ ").

[L3]

$(b,a) \in R^{-1}$ holds if and only if $(a,b) \in R$ ; $(a,c) \in S \circ R$ holds if and only if $(a,b) \in R$ and $(b,c) \in S$ for some $b$ ; and $(a,b) \in R \restriction A$ holds if and only if $(a,b) \in R$ and $a \in A$ (The inverse relation $R^{-1}$ , the composite $S \circ R$ , and the restriction $R \restriction A$ ).

[L4]

$b \in R[A]$ holds if and only if $(a,b) \in R$ for some $a \in A$ (The image $R[A]$ and the preimage $R^{-1}[B]$ of a set under a relation).

[L5]

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

[L6]

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

[L7]

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

[L8]

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

[L9]

$z \in a \cup b$ holds if and only if $z \in a$ or $z \in b$ ( $\bigcup \varnothing = \varnothing$ , $\bigcup \{a\} = a$ , $\bigcup \{a,b\} = a \cup b$ , $\bigcap \{a\} = a$ , and $\bigcap \{a,b\} = a \cap b$ ).

[L10]

$z \in A \times B$ holds if and only if $z = (a,b)$ for some $a \in A$ and some $b \in B$ (The Cartesian product $A \times B := \{\, z \in \mathcal{P}(\mathcal{P}(A \cup B)) : \exists a \in A\ \exists b \in B\ z = (a,b) \,\}$ ).

[L11]

If every $z$ satisfies $z \in x$ if and only if $z \in y$ , then $x = y$ (The Axiom of Extensionality: $\forall x\,\forall y\,(\forall z\,(z \in x \leftrightarrow z \in y) \to x = y)$ ).

[L12]

$a \cup b := \bigcup\{a,b\}$ (The union $\bigcup x$ of a set, and the binary union $a \cup b := \bigcup \{a,b\}$ ).

Verification

technique · direct

1.1

$u$ , $v$ and $w$ are pairwise distinct and $A$ has exactly them as elements; every element of $R$ is an ordered pair with both coordinates in $A$ , so $R$ is a relation on $A$ , that is $R \subseteq A \times A$ .

L1L6L7L8L9L10L12

2.1

Reading off first coordinates gives $u$ , $v$ , $w$ , so $\operatorname{dom} R = A$ ; reading off second coordinates gives $v$ , $w$ , $u$ , so $\operatorname{ran} R = A$ ; and the field, being the union of the two, is $A$ as well.

L2L5L9L11step 1.1

2.2

Reversing each pair gives $R^{-1} = \{(v,u),(w,v)\} \cup \{(u,w),(u,u)\}$ ; keeping the pairs whose first coordinate is $u$ gives $R \restriction \{u\} = \{(u,v),(u,u)\}$ ; and the elements related to $u$ or to $v$ are $v$ , $u$ and $w$ , so $R[\{u\} \cup \{v\}] = A$ .

L3L4L5L7L9L11step 1.1

2.3

For the self-composite, each pair $(a,b)$ of $R$ is matched with every pair of $R$ whose first coordinate is $b$ : from $(u,v)$ and $(v,w)$ comes $(u,w)$ ; from $(u,u)$ and the two pairs starting at $u$ come $(u,v)$ and $(u,u)$ ; from $(v,w)$ and $(w,u)$ comes $(v,u)$ ; and from $(w,u)$ and the two pairs starting at $u$ come $(w,v)$ and $(w,u)$ . These six pairs are exactly the displayed $R \circ R$ .
