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.
Assuming countable choice, every second countable space is Lindelöf
Statement
Assuming , every second countable space is Lindelöf.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A countable basis and an open cover of .
Countable choice selects from the nonempty families indexed by the eligible basis members (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Proof
For each that lies in some , use [A1] to select one such .
The selected family is countable and covers : a point lies in a cover member, and a basis member containing it lies inside that member.
Thus every open cover has a countable subcover, so is Lindelöf.
