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.

Dense domains and directed unions of specializing conditions

Statement

For an Aronszajn tree T and each tT, the set Dt={pP(T):tdom(p)} is dense: every pP(T) has some qp in Dt. If a nonempty downward-directed family GP(T) meets every Dt, then G is a total specializing function Tω. Downward directed means that for every p,qG there is rG with rp,q. These assertions require no choice axiom and assert no existence of such a G.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: T, P(T), and Dt as above. In the union assertion, a family G with the stated properties is supplied.

Conditions are finite partial maps separating comparable distinct nodes, with stronger conditions extending weaker ones. Finite specializing conditions

[F2]

A natural-valued map separating comparable distinct nodes specializes the tree. Aronszajn, Suslin and special trees

Proof

1.1

Fix pP(T) and tT. If tdom(p) take q=p. Otherwise choose the explicit natural N=0 when ran(p)= and N=1+maxran(p) when the finite range is nonempty. Put q=p{(t,N)}. It is a finite function extending p, and N differs from every old label. Pairs in the old domain satisfy F1 already; any new comparable pair involves t and has unequal labels. Thus qP(T)Dt and qp, proving density.

1.2

Put f=G as a union of graphs. If (t,a),(t,b)f, take p,qG containing the respective pairs. Directedness gives rG extending both; as r is a function, a=r(t)=b. Thus f is a function with domain contained in T and values in ω. For each tT, meeting Dt supplies a condition in G with t in its domain, so tdom(f). Hence dom(f)=T. No simultaneous selection of the conditions is needed for this pointwise conclusion.

2.1

If x<Ty, totality gives p,qG whose domains contain x,y respectively. A common stronger rG contains both nodes, so F1 gives r(x)r(y). Since rf by its membership in G, these are f(x) and f(y). Therefore f specializes T by F2. This uses only the supplied directed family; density alone does not provide that family.
