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.

Statement
is Hausdorff.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Two distinct classes .
The quotient map is open, and every interval shorter than one embeds in (The quotient map is open, and every interval shorter than one embeds in ).
For every real there is exactly one integer with (Integer part: for every real there is exactly one integer with ).
A topological space is Hausdorff when any two distinct points are separated by disjoint open sets (Hausdorff space: distinct points have disjoint open neighbourhoods; every metrizable space is Hausdorff and the indiscrete topology on two points is not).
For the quotient projection, exactly when , and for every real and integer (The circle as with basepoint ).
Proof
Choose representatives of and put , . By [L2], ; by [L4], and . Distinctness gives , so and are both positive.
Put , and let and . Both are open by [L1], and they contain and , respectively.
Suppose . Then some and have , so by [L4] and . But , and its distance from every integer is at least : the candidates and the nearer of give those two distances, while every other integer is farther away. This is a contradiction. Thus and are disjoint open neighbourhoods, and [L3] proves the Hausdorff condition.
Depends on
- The circle as $S^1=\mathbb R/\mathbb Z$ with basepoint $[0]$
- The quotient map is open, and every interval shorter than one embeds in $\mathbb R/\mathbb Z$
- Integer part: for every real $x$ there is exactly one integer $m$ with $m \le x < m + 1$
- Hausdorff space: distinct points have disjoint open neighbourhoods; every metrizable space is Hausdorff and the indiscrete topology on two points is not

Dependency tree · two levels
28 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.
