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.
The ordinary Cantor set at its critical exponent
Example
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Let be the middle-thirds Cantor set and . Its level- basic cover has -cost exactly one. In the small-scale limit,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The objects, conventions, and hypotheses in the statement above.
Under the standing Countable Choice hypothesis, the middle-thirds Cantor set has critical measure one and dimension . The Cantor set has dimension log 2 / log 3 and critical measure one
Finite measure at exponent gives zero measure at every larger exponent. Increasing the exponent past finite measure gives zero
Verification
There are basic intervals of diameter , and . Thus their total cost is . The sharp Cantor theorem provides the matching lower bound, so the infimum cannot fall below one in the limit.
Since and the critical measure equals the finite value one, exponent comparison gives . At level zero the cover is and also costs one; shrinking scales require arbitrarily large levels.

Dependency tree · two levels
11 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.
