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 Lipschitz map sends null sets to null sets
Statement
If is Lipschitz and is null, then is null.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A Lipschitz constant and null .
Lipschitz means (Lipschitz map, -Hölder map for rational , and contraction).
Norm comparisons on bound Euclidean diameter of a side- cube by a fixed dimension multiple of (The -norms for rational , and , Each is a norm on , and the induced metrics are exactly , and of the published metric-spaces page, The finite and reverse triangle inequalities for a norm; and for every norm on satisfies and is Lipschitz, hence continuous, for ).
Proof
If , is empty or a singleton, covered by cubes of arbitrarily small side.
Suppose . The image of a side- cube lies in a cube of side , where is the fixed norm-comparison factor. Its volume is .
Given an output budget , cover by cubes with total volume below . Replacing each by its image-containing cube gives a cover of with total volume below .
Both cases prove nullity. Equal domain and codomain dimensions are used in the volume scaling.
