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.

Remarks
, , Hausdorffness, regularity, , complete regularity, and Tychonoffness pass both to subspaces and to arbitrary products by , , , regularity, , complete regularity, and Tychonoffness are hereditary and , , , regularity, , complete regularity, and Tychonoffness are productive. The compound names retain their clauses: and Tychonoff are not alternative names for regularity and complete regularity.
Normality has a narrower positive result: it passes to closed subspaces by Every closed subspace of a normal space is normal. Complete normality is exactly hereditary normality by A space is completely normal if and only if every subspace is normal. Under countable choice the deleted Tychonoff plank refutes hereditary normality (Assuming countable choice, normality is not hereditary, even to open regular subspaces); under choice the lower-limit plane refutes productive normality (Assuming choice, normality is not productive: the normal lower-limit line has a nonnormal square). These failures do not alter the positive ledger above.
