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.
Solovay's model proves that an inaccessible cardinal exists
False Statement
“Solovay's target model proves that the inaccessible used in its construction exists as an inaccessible cardinal.”
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The external source theory, collapse, and one-way relative-consistency theorem.
Cardinal effects of collapse and Lévy-collapse forcing: the ambient collapse makes the designated equal to .
The Solovay inner model satisfies ZF and every real set has a real–ordinal definition and Solovay L(R) satisfies ZF and Dependent Choice: both inner models have all ambient reals and ordinals and are contained in .
Solovay-model regularity is consistent relative to an inaccessible cardinal: proves only a one-way implication between arithmetized consistency statements.
Refutation
By F1, every has in a real coding a surjection ; F2 puts each code in both and , so every such is internally countable. Conversely, an internal surjection would belong to , contradicting F1 there. Thus the designated construction ordinal is in both inner models and is not inaccessible.
F3 has logical form . It neither reverses this arrow nor inserts “there is an inaccessible” into . The construction also does not prove that no other ordinal can be inaccessible in a chosen target model; that stronger assertion is not needed.
Hence both the proposed survival of the designated and the inference from relative consistency to an internal inaccessible are invalid.

Dependency tree · two levels
24 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.
