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.

Assuming dependent choice, every uniformizable space is completely regular

Statement

Assuming dependent choice, every uniformizable topological space is completely regular.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A topology induced by a uniformity, a closed $C$ , a point $x\notin C$ , and dependent choice.

[L1]

A normal entourage sequence yields a uniformly continuous pseudometric with controlled balls (A normal sequence of entourages yields a uniformly continuous pseudometric with controlled dyadic balls).

[L2]

Complete regularity requires a continuous $[0,1]$ -valued function equal to $1$ at $x$ and $0$ on $C$ (Completely regular spaces and Tychonoff ( $T_{3\frac{1}{2}}$ ) spaces).

[L3]

Uniformly continuous maps are continuous for their induced topologies (Every uniformly continuous map is continuous for the induced topologies), and the usual metric uniformity on $\mathbb R$ induces its usual topology (A metric on a nonempty set generates an entourage uniformity whose induced topology and uniformly continuous maps are the usual metric notions, and this uniformity is separated).

[L4]

Dependent choice produces the normal sequences used in the pseudometric construction (Assuming dependent choice, every entourage admits a normal symmetric sequence subordinate to it).

[L5]

Entourage balls form neighbourhood bases for the induced topology (The sets containing an entourage ball about each of their points form a topology).

Proof

technique · constructive

1.1

Choose an entourage $U$ with $U[x]\cap C=\varnothing$ by [L5]. Using dependent choice, take a normal sequence with $E_0=X\times X$ and $E_1\subseteq U$ .

2.1

Let $p$ be the controlled pseudometric from [L1]. Since $\{p\le1/4\}\subseteq E_1\subseteq U$ , every $y\in C$ satisfies $p(x,y)>1/4$ .

step 1.1L1

3.1

Put $g(y)=\min\{1,4p(x,y)\}$ . The reverse triangle inequality for a pseudometric gives $|p(x,y)-p(x,z)|\le p(y,z),$ and truncation at $1$ does not increase absolute differences. Hence, for every $\varepsilon>0$ , the entourage $\{(y,z):p(y,z)<\varepsilon/4\}$ forces $|g(y)-g(z)|<\varepsilon$ ; $g$ is uniformly continuous. Also $g(x)=0$ and $g[C]=\{1\}$ by step 2.1, so $1-g$ has the orientation required in [L2].

step 2.1L1construct

4.1

By [L3], $1-g$ is continuous, so [L2] proves complete regularity.
