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.
Homogeneous truth about a generic real has Borel representatives
Statement
For a formula over a localized intermediate to which the Solovay absorption factorization applies, an -coded Borel set represents its truth in the final collapse extension for every -random real. The Cohen analogue gives a Borel, hence open-mod-meagre, representative on -Cohen generics.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A formula with parameters in and the canonical generic-real name .
Absorption, factorization, and homogeneous truth in the Solovay collapse: after the real forcing, the remaining collapse is homogeneous over .
Forcing theorem: Boolean values have the truth-lemma interpretation.
The Axiom of Choice: ambient AC supplies the maximal-antichain and Boolean-completion presentations used to form the Boolean values.
Proof
For a random real over , F1 factors the final extension as with homogeneous tail forcing . In the random forcing language over , let be the assertion that the top condition of forces . Use F3 to form in the completed random algebra and choose an -coded Borel representative of . For every -random , the random-forcing truth lemma gives iff . Homogeneity says the Boolean value of in is or , and the tail truth lemma applied to the actual therefore gives iff . Thus represents final-extension truth on every -random real; no absoluteness from to its tail extension was used.
In Cohen forcing use the analogous assertion that the top of the homogeneous tail forces . F3 supplies its regular-open Boolean value, with an -coded regular-open representative whose boundary is nowhere dense. The Cohen-forcing truth lemma and the same homogeneous-tail argument from step 1.1 show that, for every -Cohen generic , final-extension truth is equivalent to . Thus is already a Borel representative, and it differs from an open set by the empty, hence meagre, set. The statement deliberately leaves all nongenerics as exceptions; their largeness is used only by later items after its countability hypothesis has been verified.
