Original question and givens

Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [2], [0, 2], [0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize subsets and repeated members as sets; order families by binary subset masks. Complements are relative to this same X. Closed does not mean not open. Candidate=[1]. Give (n, normalized candidate, open?, closed?, clopen?, clopen/open/closed/neither).

  • G001 — Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [2], [0, 2], [0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize subsets and repeated members as sets; order families by binary subset masks. Complements are relative to this same X. Closed does not mean not open. Candidate=[1]. Give (n, normalized candidate, open?, closed?, clopen?, clopen/open/closed/neither).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

n=4;raw open family=[[], [2], [0, 2], [0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

After

universe=[0, 1, 2, 3];normalized opens=[[], [2], [0, 2], [0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2, 3]];empty=Yes;full=Yes;union closed=Yes;intersection closed=Yes

Conditions: none

Deduplicate subsets/families and order by masks.Check empty/whole membership and all binary union/intersection closure.On a finite underlying set,arbitrary unions reduce to finitely many distinct members.These tasks require an actual topology;invalid data is not used for later properties.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: given_complete_finite_topology_guard · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

universe=[0, 1, 2, 3];candidate=[1]

After

relative complement=[0, 2, 3];candidate open=No;complement open=No

Conditions: none

After typing the candidate,take its complement in the fixed universe.Check openness of the candidate and complement independently;not-open is not closed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: relative_complement_open_test · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

open=No;closed=No

After

clopen=No;status=neither

Conditions: none

Retain all four combinations:both can hold or both can fail;the properties are not complementary propositions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: open_closed_four_way_status · Uses: G001, S002

Reverse checks

  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(4, [1], No, No, No, neither)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
