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.

Cylinder covers generate the Frechet tails in the Raisonnier filter

Example

For fixed n, enumerate the finitely many length-n binary strings s and use their cylinders [s] as a countable cover of L[x]2ω. Any two distinct reals in one cylinder first differ at a coordinate at least n. Hence ωn belongs to F(x), concretely demonstrating that F(x) extends the Fréchet filter.

Verification

Given: A real x, a natural number n, and the Raisonnier family F(x) of the definition item.

[F1] Rapid filters and the Raisonnier family: cylinders, the first-difference function and the defining cover criterion for F(x).

1.1

Let s0,,s2n1 enumerate all binary strings of length n in the canonical order and put Fi=[si] for i<2n, padded by empty sets for i2n. Every real in L[x]2ω extends exactly one of the listed strings, so L[x]2ωiFi; this is a countable cover of the required kind.

2.1

If uv both lie in one cylinder [s] with s=n, then u and v agree on all coordinates below n. Their first differing coordinate is therefore at least n, so the prefix length defined by [F1] satisfies h(u,v)n+1, and in particular iH(Fi){k:kn}=ωn.

3.1

Therefore ωnF(x) by the defining cover criterion, for every n<ω, so F(x) contains the Fréchet filter.

F1step 2.1
3.2

The case n=0 is included: the unique length-0 string has cylinder 2ω, every pair of distinct reals in it has first differing prefix length at least 1, and the cover is the single set 2ω padded by empty sets, giving ω=ω0F(x).

step 2.1
4.1

The steps above exhibit the cofinite tails as members of F(x) through explicit cylinder covers, which is the claim.

Dependency tree · two levels

14 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.
