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.
Compactness for explicitly countable languages
Statement
In classical ZF, a sentence theory in an explicitly countable language has a model iff every finite subset has a model. A model with carrier injecting into can be obtained when it is satisfiable. Moreover, if for a sentence , some finite entails .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: An explicitly countable signature, a sentence theory and a sentence .
Consistent countable-language theories have at most countable nonempty models, and semantic consequence equals provability. (Completeness for explicitly countable set languages)
Every proof uses finitely many assumptions. (Finite support, weakening, and composition of derivations)
A theory with a model is consistent; provability is sound. (Soundness for arbitrary set signatures)
Proof
If , the same satisfies every subset, in particular every finite subset. Conversely suppose each finite subset of has a model. Any proof of bottom from would have finite support by F2; its model would contradict F3. Thus is consistent and F1 supplies an at most countable nonempty model. This also handles : the finite-subset hypothesis then concerns that empty theory itself.
If , F1 gives a finite proof . F2 supplies its finite assumption set , with . F3 then gives . The support can be empty when is logically provable. No selection of models for all finite subsets was needed in step 1.1: a single alleged proof would call for only one model.

Dependency tree · two levels
13 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.
