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.
A worked preservation table for subspaces and products of the standard, cofinite, and ordinal topologies
Example
The discrete topology is , Hausdorff, regular, normal, completely regular, and completely normal: singleton complements and singleton sets give all required separating opens, and every function to is continuous. Its subspaces and products keep the positive properties listed in , , , regularity, , complete regularity, and Tychonoffness are hereditary and , , , regularity, , complete regularity, and Tychonoffness are productive.
For an infinite set with the cofinite topology of The discrete, indiscrete, cofinite, cocountable, particular-point and Sierpinski topologies, every singleton is closed, so the space is ; two nonempty open sets intersect, so it is not Hausdorff. This displays why the positive table does not infer a higher axiom from alone. An ordinal with the order topology of The order topology on an ordinal, with the half-open intervals and the initial segments as a basis supplies the contrasting clopen order intervals used by the deleted-plank construction.
