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 convergent filter on a uniform space is Cauchy

Statement

Every filter converging in the induced topology of a uniform space is Cauchy.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A filter F converging to x in a uniform space.

[L1]

Filter convergence means that every neighbourhood of the limit belongs to the filter (Convergence and cluster points of a filter on a topological space).

[L2]

Entourage balls form neighbourhood bases, and every entourage has a symmetric square root (The sets containing an entourage ball about each of their points form a topology, Uniform space in the entourage formulation, Every uniformity has a base of symmetric entourages).

[L3]

A Cauchy filter has an E-small member for every entourage E (Cauchy filter in a uniform space).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1L2choose

Let E be an entourage and choose a symmetric entourage D with D∘D⊆E.

1.2L1L2

The neighbourhood D[x] belongs to F by convergence.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2

Since D is symmetric, D[x]×D[x]⊆D−1∘D=D∘D⊆E, so D[x] is E-small.

3.1step 2.1L3∎

As E was arbitrary, F is Cauchy by [L3].

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
