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.

Agreement on overlap is insufficient for specialization compatibility

Example

In an Aronszajn tree choose nodes x<Ty. The singleton conditions p={(x,0)} and q={(y,0)} agree on their empty overlap but are incompatible in P(T). Replacing q by q={(y,1)} makes them compatible, with common extension {(x,0),(y,1)}.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: An Aronszajn tree T and x<Ty. Such a pair exists: height ω1 supplies a node with nonzero predecessor order type and hence a predecessor.

[F1]

Singleton assignments are specializing conditions, and two conditions are compatible iff their union is a specializing function. Finite specializing conditions

Verification

1.1

Each of p,q,q has one-node domain, so there is no distinct comparable pair within its domain and F1 makes it a condition. Since x<Ty, the nodes are distinct; each intersection of the domain of p with that of q or q is empty, so the functions agree on overlap. But (pq)(x)=0=(pq)(y) violates the required inequality on x<Ty. Thus pq is not a condition and F1 makes p,q incompatible.

F1given
2.1

The function u=pq={(x,0),(y,1)} has finite domain {x,y} and its only unordered pair of distinct nodes has labels 01. Therefore it is a specializing condition and up,q, so up,q. This is the explicit common bound verifying compatibility.

Dependency tree · two levels

3 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.
