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 coordinate swap defeats an atom-free sock choice
Statement
In the corrected atom-free socks construction, a fresh pair-coordinate swap has a compatible image condition and reverses a proposed decided choice.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The hypotheses, objects, and conventions in the Statement.
The atom-free socks symmetric system supplies the forcing order, the names and , the block automorphisms, and the finite-support filter.
Symmetry lemma for forcing automorphisms transports a forcing decision under the displayed automorphism.
An atom-free symmetric model has countable pairs without choice proves that is a two-element set in the symmetric model, including the dense-set distinctness argument.
Proof
Suppose forces that a supported name is a choice function. Let support both and . Pick outside the finitely many pair indices occurring in , and strengthen to deciding, after relabelling the two mates if necessary, This is a single forcing decision, not a sequence of choices.
Because has finite domain, choose a natural-number coordinate cutoff beyond all coordinates of in the th blocks. Define an automorphism which swaps the two -blocks while translating the finitely used internal coordinates to unused coordinates, and fixes . Then and agree wherever both are defined, hence is a condition.
The support of is fixed, so , while and . By F2, equivariance transforms the decision in step 1.1 into Their common extension forces , contradicting F3. Thus the fresh coordinate swap defeats the proposed choice.

9 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.
