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 generated lambda-system exists and is minimal
Statement
For every set and every , the family is a lambda-system on , contains , and is contained in every lambda-system on that contains .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A set , a family , and the intersection definition of in The lambda-system generated by a family of sets.
Proof
A nonempty intersection of lambda-systems on contains . If lie in every member, then lies in every member; and if is increasing and lies in every member, then lies in every member. Thus the intersection is a lambda-system.
The power set is a lambda-system containing , so the family intersected in the definition of is nonempty.
Steps 1.1 and 1.2 make a lambda-system. Every generator lies in every lambda-system being intersected, while an intersection is contained in each of its factors, so and is minimal.
