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.
Finite partial sums of a real family form a net directed by inclusion
Example
For a family of real numbers, let be the finite subsets of , ordered by inclusion, and put . Then is the finite-subset net. The family is summable with sum when this net converges to in the usual topology of .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A real family .
A finite-index sum is independent of its enumeration (The sum over a finite index set, and its product form).
A union of two finite sets is finite, and sums split across disjoint finite sets (The sum rule: a finite disjoint union is finite with and , and a sum over a finite index set splits along a partition).
Verification
is nonempty because it contains , and it is directed because is a finite upper bound of and .
Therefore is a net. If , then , so later values add only terms not already counted.
Thus the displayed finite partial sums form the announced net, and its convergence is a definition of unordered summability.

- The sum rule: a finite disjoint union is finite with $\lvert A \cup B\rvert = \lvert A\rvert + \lvert B\rvert$ and $\lvert\bigcup_{i \in I} A_i\rvert = \sum_{i \in I}\lvert A_i\rvert$, and a sum over a finite index set splits along a partition
- The cardinality $\lvert A\rvert$ of a finite set
