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.
FALSE: every subnet of a sequence is a subsequence
Statement
FALSE. Every subnet of a sequence is a subsequence.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The discrete topological space and its identity sequence .
A subnet may use any eventually cofinal index map; it need not use a strictly increasing map (Subnet via an eventually cofinal index map).
A subsequence of is a composite with strictly increasing; such an is injective (A strictly increasing index map satisfies ).
Refutation
Put and for , and let . For every , all satisfy , so is eventually cofinal and is a subnet of .
The subnet has . Every subsequence of the injective identity sequence is injective by [A2], so cannot be a subsequence of .
Thus the stated universal claim is false.
Depends on
- Subnet via an eventually cofinal index map
- A strictly increasing index map satisfies $n_k \ge k$
- A net is eventually or frequently in a subset of its codomain
- Convergence and cluster points of a sequence in a topological space, sequential continuity, and the sequential closure
- The discrete, indiscrete, cofinite, cocountable, particular-point and Sierpinski topologies
