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.
The standard entourages on minimal Cauchy filters form a separated uniformity
Statement
On the set of minimal Cauchy filters, the relations declaring that two filters have -close members form a separated uniformity.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Minimal Cauchy filters on .
Every Cauchy filter has a unique associated minimal Cauchy filter, and every principal filter is Cauchy and therefore has an associated minimal Cauchy filter (Every Cauchy filter canonically determines a unique minimal Cauchy filter coarser than it).
Symmetric entourages form a base and admit square roots (Every uniformity has a base of symmetric entourages).
The entourage axioms and separatedness are stated in Uniform space in the entourage formulation and Separated uniformity: the intersection of all entourages is the diagonal.
Proof
Because a uniformity is a proper filter on , its carrier is nonempty. Choose ; then [L1] gives a minimal Cauchy filter associated to the principal filter at , so is nonempty. For symmetric , put when some and satisfy .
Every is -close to itself: choose an -small member of the Cauchy filter and use it on both sides. Thus each contains the nonempty diagonal of . The relation is symmetric. If and have respective witnesses and , then , so finite intersections are refined by the corresponding hatted intersection.
Choose a symmetric entourage with . If via and via , choose . Then for every , so . Hence .
Steps 2.1 and 2.2 show that the upward closure of the relations is a uniformity. To prove separation, suppose for every entourage . Given , minimality gives by [L1], so some with and symmetric . Choose an entourage and witnesses with . Pick . Then , so . Thus ; symmetry gives equality.
Therefore the standard relations form the asserted separated uniformity.

- The minimal Cauchy filters associated to points define a uniformly continuous dense canonical map Lemma
- The uniform space of minimal Cauchy filters is complete Lemma
- Every uniform space has a Hausdorff completion with dense canonical image, and the canonical map is a uniform embedding exactly when the original uniformity is separated Theorem
- Every uniformly continuous map into a complete Hausdorff uniform space extends uniquely across the Hausdorff completion; consequently completions are unique up to a unique uniform isomorphism Theorem
