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.

Every compact uniform space is totally bounded

Statement

Every compact uniform space is totally bounded.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A compact uniform space $X$ and an entourage $E$ .

[L1]

Symmetric entourages form a base (Every uniformity has a base of symmetric entourages).

[L2]

Compactness gives a finite subcover of every open cover (Open cover, subcover, and compact topological space; a compact subset is a subspace that is compact in its own right).

[L3]

Total boundedness asks for a finite family of entourage balls (Totally bounded uniform space).

[L4]

Every entourage ball is a neighbourhood and hence contains an open neighbourhood of its centre (The sets containing an entourage ball about each of their points form a topology).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1

Choose a symmetric $D\subseteq E$ . For each $x\in X$ , let $O_x$ be the union of all open subsets of $D[x]$ that contain $x$ . By [L4], $O_x$ is an open neighbourhood of $x$ contained in $D[x]$ , and the family $(O_x)_{x\in X}$ covers $X$ .

2.1

Compactness gives finite $F\subseteq X$ with $X=\bigcup_{x\in F}O_x\subseteq\bigcup_{x\in F}D[x]$ .

step 1.1L2

3.1

Since $D[x]\subseteq E[x]$ , the same finite set covers $X$ by $E$ -balls, proving total boundedness by [L3].
