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.
Every ultrafilter on a totally bounded uniform space is Cauchy
Statement
Every ultrafilter on a totally bounded uniform space is Cauchy.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A totally bounded uniform space and an ultrafilter on it.
Total boundedness gives a finite cover by entourage balls (Totally bounded uniform space).
An ultrafilter containing a finite union contains one member of the union (Ultrafilters are prime: a union in has a member in ).
Cauchyness asks for an -small filter member for each entourage (Cauchy filter in a uniform space).
Every entourage contains a symmetric entourage whose square lies in it (Every uniformity has a base of symmetric entourages).
Proof
Let be an entourage and choose a symmetric with .
Total boundedness gives finite with ; since , [L2] gives for some .
Any two points of are -related, so .
This supplies an -small member for every , so is Cauchy by [L3].
