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.
Limit points of an unbounded set form a club
Statement
In ZFC, if and is unbounded, then is club.
Facts & Assumptions
Closure points form a club: A nondecreasing self-map of an ordinal of uncountable cofinality has club many closure points.
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the statement.
Define . This exists by unboundedness, is nondecreasing, and satisfies . Its closure points form a club. A nonzero closure point cannot be a successor , since ; and for every a nonzero closure point has . Thus it is in . Conversely each nonzero limit point of is closed under .
Removing zero from the closure-point club preserves unboundedness and closure at nonzero limits. Equivalently, closure of acc follows directly: below a limit of limit points, first choose a limit point above a given bound, then a point of above that bound. Hence acc is club with exactly the stipulated nonzero-limit convention.

Dependency tree · two levels
4 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.
