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.
F-sigma and G-delta subsets of the real line are Borel
Example
Every subset and every subset of is Borel.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A subset .
An set is a countable union of closed subsets of , and a set is a countable intersection of open subsets ( and subsets of ).
The Borel sigma-algebra is generated by the open sets (The Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space).
Sigma-algebras are closed under countable intersections (Sigma-algebras are closed under countable intersections, differences, symmetric differences, and set limits).
Verification
If is , [L1] writes it as a countable union of closed sets. Closed sets are complements of the open generators in [L2], so they and their countable union are Borel.
If is , [L1] writes it as a countable intersection of open, hence Borel, sets; [L3] makes the intersection Borel.
