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
Each of , , Hausdorffness (), regularity, , complete regularity, and Tychonoffness is hereditary.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A subspace of a space with one of the listed separation properties.
, , and Hausdorffness are hereditary (, , and Hausdorffness are hereditary).
Regularity and complete regularity are hereditary (Regularity is hereditary, without a hidden hypothesis, Complete regularity is hereditary, without a hidden hypothesis).
means regular plus , and Tychonoff means completely regular plus (Regular spaces and spaces, with the source disagreement over whether regularity includes stated explicitly, Completely regular spaces and Tychonoff () spaces).
Proof
The first three assertions are [L1], and regularity and complete regularity are [L2].
A subspace of a space is regular by [L2] and by [L1], hence is .
A subspace of a Tychonoff space is completely regular by [L2] and by [L1], hence is Tychonoff.
These cover every property named in the statement.
