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.

Countable boundary null partitions of a separable metric space

Statement

Assume AC. For a separable metric S with Borel probability μ, there are countable refining Borel partitions Pk for k1, all of whose nonempty atoms have diameter at most 2k and μ-null boundary. Together these partitions generate B(S).

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

Finite and countable subadditivity of measures: Let μ be a measure and let (Ek)kN be measurable. Then

μ(kNEk)k=0μ(Ek).

For every mN one also has

μ(k<mEk)k<mμ(Ek),

including m=0, where both sides are 0.

Proof

Given: The objects, hypotheses and definitions in the statement. Its conclusions are to be established below.

1.1

S is nonempty since μ(S)=1. Fix a countable dense list ai. For a fixed center, spheres at distinct radii are disjoint; at most r spheres have mass at least 1/r. Thus the radii with positive sphere mass form a countable union of finite, increasing-order lists. For each k,i, AC chooses rk,i(2k2,2k1) outside this countable exceptional set. The balls B(ai,rk,i) cover S by density, and each has diameter at most 2^{-k} and boundary contained in its null sphere.

1.2

At level k disjointize this ordered cover: Dk,i=B(ai,rk,i)j<iB(aj,rk,j). These sets partition S; discard empty members. Their boundaries lie in the finite union of the first i sphere boundaries, hence are null by F1. Let Pk consist of all nonempty intersections D1,i1Dk,ik. These form a countable Borel partition, refine the preceding one, and have diameter at most 2^{-k}; their boundaries are again contained in finitely many null boundaries.

F1
2.1

Every partition atom is Borel, so the σ-algebra they generate is contained in Borel(S). Conversely if U is open and x belongs to U, choose a ball about x contained in U and then k with 2^{-k} below its radius. The Pk atom containing x lies in that ball, hence in U. Thus U is the union of the atoms, over countably many levels and members, that are contained in U. It lies in the generated σ-algebra, proving equality.
