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.
Atomless generic filters are not in the ground model
Statement
In ZF, let M be a transitive ZF model containing an atomless forcing preorder P and its order: every condition has two incompatible stronger conditions. If G is M-generic then . The atomless hypothesis cannot simply be omitted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: ZF. Complement of a filter is dense in atomless forcing because two incompatible refinements cannot both be in the filter; if G were ground-model, its complement would contradict genericity. Singleton forcing checks the missing-hypothesis boundary.
Dense open sets and generic filters over a model: Generic filters meet ground dense sets, and internal directedness makes any two filter conditions compatible.
Proof
For any filter G on atomless P, is dense. Given p, choose two incompatible refinements q,r of p. They cannot both be in G, since internal directedness would give a common stronger condition. At least one therefore lies in below p. This is one finite existential argument for each p, not a simultaneous choice function.
If G were in M, internal Separation would make the actual set an element of M. Step 1.1 makes D dense, while genericity would require , impossible by its definition. Thus G is not in M. For singleton forcing, its unique filter P belongs to M and meets every dense set, exhibiting the failure when atomlessness is removed.
