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.
Assuming countable choice, the countable-cocountable family is a sigma-algebra
Example
Assume . For a set , define
Then is the countable-cocountable sigma-algebra on .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice and a set .
Under countable choice, a countable union of at most countable sets is at most countable (Countable unions of at most countable sets, assuming , The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
At most countable means finite or countably infinite (Finite, countably infinite, countable, uncountable).
Every subset of an at most countable set is at most countable (Every subset of an at most countable set is at most countable).
A sigma-algebra contains the empty set and is closed under complements and countable unions (Sigma-algebras).
Verification
The empty set is at most countable. Complementation exchanges the two alternatives in the definition of , so contains and is complement-closed.
Let lie in . If every is at most countable, [L1] makes at most countable. If some is cocountable, then is at most countable by [L3]. In either case the union lies in .
Steps 1.1 and 1.2 verify all axioms in [L4], so is a sigma-algebra on .
