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 continuous -valued function extends uniquely over the closure of the full evaluation image
Statement
Let be the full evaluation map and let . Every continuous has a unique continuous with .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The full evaluation map , its closure , and a continuous .
Two continuous maps to a Hausdorff target that agree on a dense subset agree everywhere (Two continuous maps into a Hausdorff space that agree on a dense subset are equal).
Proof
The coordinate projection is continuous by [L1]. Its restriction is continuous and satisfies .
If is another such extension, then and agree on , which is dense in . Since is Hausdorff, [L2] gives .
Depends on
- The evaluation map from a space into the unit cube indexed by a family of continuous functions
- A map into a product is continuous iff each of its components is; the projections are continuous and open; and each projection is surjective when every factor is nonempty, which for an infinite index set uses the Axiom of Choice
- Two continuous maps into a Hausdorff space that agree on a dense subset are equal
- A point lies in the closure of $A$ iff every basic neighbourhood of it meets $A$; the closure is the smallest closed superset and equals $A$ together with its derived set
