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.
Continuous functions on Euclidean spaces are Borel measurable
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice. Let . Every continuous map is Borel measurable in the sense of Borel measurable and Lebesgue measurable functions on .

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Countable Choice, natural numbers , and a continuous function .
A continuous map has Borel preimages of Borel sets. (A continuous map has Borel preimages of Borel sets)
Proof
Let be Borel. By [L1], the preimage is a Borel subset of .
By the definition of Borel measurability on Euclidean spaces, step 1.1 says [step 1.1] exactly that is Borel measurable.
