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 one-point compactification of the discrete real line is compact and Lindelöf but is neither first countable nor separable

Example

Give D=R the discrete topology and form D∗=D∪{∞}. The one-point compactification theorem makes D∗ compact, hence Lindelöf, and every point of D remains isolated.

A neighbourhood of ∞ has finite complement in D, since compact subsets of a discrete space are finite. If (Nn) were a countable local base at ∞, put Fn=D∖Nn. For every x∈D, the neighbourhood D∗∖{x} would contain some Nn, so D=⋃nFn. Each finite subset of R has a canonical increasing enumeration; these enumerations and countability of N×N make the displayed union countable, contradicting uncountability of R. Thus D∗ is not first countable. Finally every dense subset must meet the open singleton {x} for every x∈D, so it contains all of D and cannot be countable; hence D∗ is not separable.

Dependency tree · two levels

52 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.
