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.
Exhaustive filtration implies separated and complete filtration
Statement
False: An exhaustive filtration is automatically separated and complete.
Facts & Assumptions
Strong convergence of a spectral sequence specifies exhaustiveness by union, separatedness by zero intersection and completeness by the canonical inverse-quotient map in modules.
Abelian-group model for spectral-sequence computations supplies the nonzero group . Countable sequence groups and tail filtrations gives the separated tail filtrations of and and the proper completion inclusion .
Refutation
Given: First the constant increasing filtration for every integer .
Its union is , so it is exhaustive. Its intersection is also , so it is not separated. Every quotient is zero, and the inverse system therefore has zero limit: a cone into zero objects has exactly the unique zero map into the zero object. The completion map kills the nonzero class of and is not an isomorphism. Thus the same exhaustive filtration fails both asserted conclusions.
Separately filter by for and for . This is exhaustive since . If a sequence lies in every tail, its coordinate is zero by taking , so the filtration is separated. Its quotients are with truncation maps, and their limit is by [F2]. The completion map misses the constant-one sequence, hence is not onto. This second example shows that even adding separatedness to exhaustiveness does not force completeness. The index gives the zero quotient by the whole group; the zero group itself would satisfy all three properties and is not a refuting witness. All maps and sequences used are explicit and require no AC.
