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: a proposed Gromov boundary quotient needs no equivalence check
Statement
False claim: once a class of boundary sequences and a proposed "asymptotic" relation have been written down, one may form the Gromov boundary as their quotient without proving that asymptoticity is an equivalence relation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The boundary construction on this page.
The quotient by asymptoticity is justified only after proving that asymptoticity is an equivalence relation (Asymptoticity of Gromov sequences is an equivalence relation).
Refutation
A quotient set consists of equivalence classes, so it is defined only when the proposed relation is an equivalence relation. The sequence model on this page therefore depends essentially on [L1].
Consequently the proposed quotient cannot be licensed merely by writing down the relation: reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity must be checked. The properness hypothesis used elsewhere on this page is a scope choice for this construction, not a claim that every possible boundary model requires properness.

Dependency tree · two levels
6 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.
