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.

Elementary ZF axioms inside L

Statement

In ambient ZF, the class L satisfies Extensionality, Foundation, Empty Set, Pairing, Union and Infinity, each interpreted by relativization to L.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ZF. Actual Foundation witnesses lie in L by transitivity; pairs and unions are explicitly defined over one level; actual omega supplies Infinity without internal Replacement or Power Set.

[F1]

Transitivity, growth, ordinals and rank in L: The levels and L are transitive, levels nest, and every ordinal belongs to L.

[F2]

The constructible hierarchy and constructible rank: Lgamma+1=Def⁡(Lγ), where Def consists of the subsets definable over the membership structure using finitely many parameters.

Proof

1.1F1

If a,b∈L have the same members in L, transitivity puts all their actual members in L, so ambient Extensionality gives a=b. If a∈L is nonempty, ambient Foundation gives u∈a with u∩a=∅; transitivity puts u in L, so it is also an internal Foundation witness. Empty Set holds because ∅∈L1.

2.1F1F2step 1.1

For a,b∈L, put both parameters in one nonempty level Lγ. The formula x=a∨x=b defines {a,b} as a subset of this level, hence puts it in Lγ+1. For a∈Lγ, transitivity twice ensures that every member of ⋃a is in Lγ; the formula ∃y∈a (x∈y) over that level therefore defines exactly ⋃a. Its successor contains this union, including the empty union. These actual sets satisfy the relativized Pairing and Union axioms.

3.1F1step 2.1∎

The actual ordinal ω belongs to L. It contains empty and, with each n∈ω, the actual successor n∪{n}. These finite ordinals belong to L; the pairs and unions used in the successor description are the actual operations by step 2.1. Thus ω is an internal inductive set, proving Infinity and completing the six asserted axioms.
