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.

Metric nonnegativity from the three axioms

Statement

For any real metric or pseudometric d on a set X in Real metric and pseudometric convention, d(x,y)≥0 for every x,y∈X. Thus these three-axiom definitions already have values in [0,∞), including the vacuous assertion when X=∅.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The set X and the finite real metric or pseudometric d.

[F1]

Real metric and pseudometric convention supplies reflexivity, symmetry, the triangle inequality and ordered-field arithmetic.

Proof

1.1givenF1algebra

Fix x,y∈X. Reflexivity, the triangle inequality with endpoints x,x, and symmetry give 0=d(x,x)≤d(x,y)+d(y,x)=2d(x,y).

2.1F1step 1.1algebra∎

The real number 2 is positive, so dividing the inequality in step 1.1 by 2 yields 0≤d(x,y). This proves the universally quantified claim; if X is empty there are no pairs to check.
