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.

A unital separating real function lattice interpolates arbitrary values at two distinct points

Statement

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff space and let $L \subseteq C (X, R)$ be a unital point-separating real vector sublattice (Unital point-separating real vector sublattices of $C (X, R)$ ). If $x, y \in X$ are distinct and $α, β \in R$ , then there is $h \in L$ with $h (x) = α and h (y) = β .$

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A unital point-separating real vector sublattice $L \subseteq C (X, R)$ , distinct points $x, y \in X$ , and prescribed values $α, β \in R$ .

[L1]

Point separation supplies $g \in L$ with $g (x) \neq g (y)$ , while the vector-space and unital clauses keep every affine combination $a g + b$ in $L$ (Unital point-separating real vector sublattices of $C (X, R)$ ).

Proof

technique · direct

1.1L1choose

By [L1], choose $g \in L$ with $g (x) \neq g (y)$ and put $a : = (β - α) / (g (y) - g (x))$ and $b : = α - a g (x)$ ; the denominator is nonzero because $g$ separates $x$ and $y$ .

2.1step 1.1L1algebra∎

The affine combination $h : = a g + b$ belongs to $L$ by [L1], and substitution gives $h (x) = a g (x) + α - a g (x) = α$ and $h (y) = α + a (g (y) - g (x)) = β$ .
