Original question and givens

Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [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. Point x=3, candidate N=[1, 3]. Give (n, x, point in X?, N, all open U with x∈U⊆N or not-evaluated, neighborhood? or not-evaluated). N itself need not be open.

  • G001 — Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]].

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=[[], [3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

After

universe=[0, 1, 2, 3];normalized opens=[[], [3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [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

point candidate=3;underlying Fin(4)

After

point qualified=Yes

Conditions: none

An outside point leaves neighborhood claims unevaluated,not False via negative indexing or an empty witness list.Candidate sets must still independently be typed.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: neighborhood_point_domain_guard · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · implies

Before

raw candidate=[1, 3]

After

typed normalized candidate=[1, 3]

Conditions: none

Set normalization and point qualification are separate data conditions.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: neighborhood_candidate_set_normalization · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

point=3;complete open family=[[], [3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

After

all point-containing opens=[[3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

Conditions: none

Take every open containing the qualified point as the complete witness candidates.A neighborhood itself need not be open;it must contain at least one of them.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: complete_point_open_witness_basis · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · implies

Before

phase=candidate;point=3;candidate=[1, 3];point-open basis=[[3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

After

all contained open witnesses=[[3]];neighborhood=Yes

Conditions: none

List all open witnesses satisfying x∈U⊆candidate.One witness suffices;absence refutes the property.Do not decide only by the candidate's openness or point membership.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: all_open_neighborhood_witnesses · Uses: G001, S004

Reverse checks

  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • 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, 3, Yes, [1, 3], [[3]], Yes)

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