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.
The real dominated-extension principle as an additional hypothesis over ZF
Definition
Work over ZF. The real dominated-extension principle, denoted HB, is the following assertion:
For every real vector space , every sublinear functional in the sense of A sublinear functional on a real vector space, every real linear subspace in the sense of Linear subspace of a vector space, and every real linear functional in the sense of Linear functionals and the algebraic dual ,
This names an additional principle; it does not assert a proof of HB in ZF. Subsequent results explicitly state when they assume HB. Neither topology nor completeness is part of this assertion. The subspace may be or all of . Sublinearity at scalar zero gives , and a linear functional has value zero at zero.
