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.
Completeness for explicitly countable set languages
Statement
In classical ZF, every consistent sentence theory in an explicitly countable set language has a nonempty model whose carrier injects into . For every sentence in that language,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A signature with a specified injection into and a sentence theory .
A consistent has a consistent complete deductively closed Henkin extension in an explicitly countable constant expansion with a seed. (Canonical countable Lindenbaum–Henkin construction)
The term quotient of such an extension satisfies it. (Truth lemma for the term quotient)
implies consistency of . (A consistent theory can decide one sentence)
Provability implies semantic consequence. (Soundness for arbitrary set signatures)
The expanded closed terms have an injection into . (Canonical natural-number codes for countable Henkin syntax)
Reducts preserve truth in the smaller signature. (Coincidence for term values and satisfaction)
Proof
If is consistent, use F1 and F2 to form a quotient model . Its reduct to the original language satisfies by F6 and has the same nonempty carrier.
Let be the closed-term injection from F5. For each quotient class , define . The set minimized is nonempty because is a class of a closed term. Equal values of name the same term by injectivity of , hence the same class. Thus injects the carrier into , with no choice of a family of representatives.
If but , F3 makes consistent. Steps 1.1–2.1 supply a model of this theory, which satisfies and falsifies , a contradiction. Thus semantic consequence implies provability. Conversely F4 gives , even if has no model.

25 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.
