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.

Measures are monotone

Statement

Let μ be a measure on (X,A). If A,B∈A and A⊆B, then μ(A)≤μ(B).

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A measure μ on (X,A) and measurable sets A⊆B.

[L1]

A measure is nonnegative and countably additive on pairwise disjoint measurable sequences (Measures on sigma-algebras).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1given

The sets A and B∖A are measurable, disjoint, and have union B.

2.1step 1.1L1algebra∎

Countable additivity applied to these two sets and empty sets thereafter gives μ(B)=μ(A)+μ(B∖A)≥μ(A); no subtraction is used, so the argument also covers μ(B)=+∞ and the degenerate cases A=∅ and A=B.

Dependency tree · two levels

4 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
