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.

Internal Power Set in L

Statement

In ZF, for every a∈L, the ambient set P(a)∩L belongs to L. It is the power set of a computed internally in L.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ZF; a in L. Ambient Power Set and Replacement bound all constructible subsets; already proved internal Separation then produces the internal power set without circularity.

[F1]

Separation in the constructible universe: Separation inside L is proved for each fixed formula.

[F2]

Transitivity, growth, ordinals and rank in L: Constructible rank bounds give level membership; every level itself belongs to L and L is transitive.

Proof

1.1F2given

In the ambient universe use Separation on P(a) to form Y={b⊆a:b∈L}. The predicate of belonging to L is uniformly definable. Ambient Replacement collects R={ρL(b):b∈Y}; put β=sup⁡(R∪{ρL(a)})+1. Then a∈Lβ and Y⊆Lβ. This bounds all constructible subsets simultaneously without using Power Set or Replacement in L.

2.1F1F2step 1.1∎

The set Lβ is itself an element of L. Apply F1 inside L to this set with the predicate b⊆a. For a,b∈L, this predicate is absolute directly: every member of b lies in L by transitivity, and membership in a is actual membership. The separated set is therefore {b∈Lβ:b⊆a}=Y by step 1.1. It belongs to L and contains exactly the internal subsets of a, proving internal Power Set.
