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.
A filter and its canonical derived net have the same limits and cluster points
Statement
A filter and the net derived from it have exactly the same limits and cluster points.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A filter on , its derived net, and .
The derived net is indexed by with , , ordered by reverse inclusion of the first coordinate (The canonical net indexed by the pairs with in a filter and ).
Filter and net convergence and cluster points have their stated neighbourhood formulations (Convergence and cluster points of a filter on a topological space, Convergence and cluster points of a net in a topological space).
Proof
If a neighbourhood of belongs to , choose ; then is an index, and every later has , hence . Thus filter convergence implies convergence of the derived net.
If the derived net is eventually in , take a threshold . Applying eventuality to indices with gives ; upward closure of the filter gives . Thus convergence is equivalent.
The derived net is frequently in exactly when every meets : after a point of supplies a later index, and conversely frequent membership after supplies such a point. Therefore its cluster points are exactly those of .
