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.

Compactness produces a genuinely nonstandard element

Example

In the constructed countable model of Th⁡(N), the new constant exceeds every numeral. Each finite list of these inequalities is realized in the standard structure, but their entire list has no standard realization.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The language (0,S,<), its standard numerals and the model supplied below.

[F1]

There is an at most countable model of the complete natural-number theory with an element greater than every numeral, obtained from finitely satisfiable inequalities. (A countable nonstandard model has an element above all numerals)

Verification

1.1F1

For the fragment 0‾<c,1‾<c,…,m‾<c use the standard expansion with c=m+1. Its inequalities evaluate to 0<m+1,1<m+1,…,m<m+1, all true. For example the first three are 0<3, 1<3, 2<3 with c=3. With no inequalities use c=0. Any accompanying finitely many sentences of Th⁡(N) remain true because the old structure has not changed.

2.1F1step 1.1∎

A putative standard interpretation c=k fails the inequality k‾<c, since its evaluation is k<k, which is false. Yet F1 supplies a new countable model and an element b satisfying every inequality. Its numeral k‾ still denotes the k-fold successor of zero; b equals none of these values, because equality would turn the corresponding true inequality into b<b, forbidden by the theory's irreflexivity sentence.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 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.
