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.

Forcing filters versus Boolean filters

Example

For a nonempty set S, put P=P(S)∖{∅}, ordered by inclusion. A family G⊆P is a forcing filter exactly when the same family, viewed in P(S), is a proper Boolean filter. For S={0,1} this gives three forcing filters, of which two are maximal.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Forcing preorders, compatibility and filters requires a forcing filter to be nonempty, upward closed and internally downward directed.

[F2]

Generated filters and the complementary-pair tests uses finite-meet closure and identifies maximal proper Boolean filters by complementary-pair decision.

Verification

Given: S≠∅ and P as displayed.

1.1F1F2algebra

If G is a forcing filter, nonemptiness and upward closure put S∈G. For A,B∈G, directedness supplies a nonempty C∈G with C⊆A∩B. Thus A∩B is a condition, and upward closure puts it in G. This proves Boolean filter closure, while ∅∉G holds because G⊆P. Conversely a proper Boolean filter contains S, hence is nonempty, and its meet A∩B∈G is a nonempty common stronger condition. The two notions therefore agree here.

2.1F1step 1.1algebra

For S={0,1} the conditions are a={0}, b={1} and t={0,1}, with a,b⊆t. A filter must contain t. It cannot contain both a,b, since a∩b=∅ and there is no common stronger condition. The three possibilities are consequently {t}, {a,t} and {b,t}, and each satisfies F1. The last two are maximal; adding either singleton to {t} gives one of them.

3.1F1F2step 2.1algebra

The maximal families decide each of the four complementary pairs in the Boolean algebra, as F2 also predicts. The empty family fails F1, although its upward and pairwise-directed conditions alone would be vacuous. If S is a singleton there is only the condition t and the filter {t}. If S=∅, P is empty and is excluded by the definition of forcing preorder; there is also no proper Boolean filter on P(S). Thus the correspondence spends no choice and supplies no nonexistent meets on arbitrary preorders. QED.
