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.
Convexity and relative closedness of forward sectors
Statement
Under Forward-sector hypotheses for a simple state domain, for every simple state , the forward sector is convex and closed relative to . For collinear , , implies , and implies .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A1–A7 and S1–S3 on a nonempty open convex domain .
Forward-sector hypotheses for a simple state domain: A1–A7 include consistency, scaling, splitting, convex-combination access, and stability for positive spectators.
Relative interiors of finite-dimensional convex sets: a nonempty convex set has nonempty relative interior, and segments from a relative-interior point to a closure point, excluding the closure endpoint, remain in the relative interior.
Spectator cancellation without comparison completeness: any finite common spectator cancels when the two bases have equal mass, under A1–A6 without CH.
Proof
If and , splitting gives . Consistency, positive scaling, and transitivity then give . The convex-combination access hypothesis in [A1] gives , so the convex combination belongs to .
Let with . The convex-combination access hypothesis in [A1] gives . Splitting gives . If , scaling by and adding gives . Compose and cancel the common by [F2], then scale by , to get . If instead , scaling by and adding gives ; recombination gives .
Take . If , the claim is immediate. Otherwise choose by [F1]. Because is open, choose for some . For every integer , lies in by [F1], so . Also . The convex-combination access hypothesis in [A1] gives ; scaling by and using the reversible split of gives .
Consistency adds the same spectator to , and transitivity with step 2.1 gives for every . Apply the stability hypothesis in [A1] to bases , fixed positive equal-mass represented spectators , and the tail sequence with . It follows that . Thus every relative closure point belongs to .
