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 X, every sublinear functional p:X→R in the sense of A sublinear functional on a real vector space, every real linear subspace M≤X in the sense of Linear subspace of a vector space, and every real linear functional g:M→R in the sense of Linear functionals and the algebraic dual V∗=L(V,F), (∀m∈M, g(m)≤p(m)) ⟹ ∃F:X→R (F is real linear, F∣M=g, ∀x∈X, F(x)≤p(x)).

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 {0} or all of X. Sublinearity at scalar zero gives p(0)=0, and a linear functional has value zero at zero.
