Original question and givens

Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [3], [0, 3], [0, 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. x=3, small=[3], large=[0, 1, 2, 3]. Give (n, x, point typed?, small, large, small⊆large?, small neighborhood? or not-evaluated, large neighborhood? only if the point is typed, inclusion holds and small is a neighborhood; otherwise not-evaluated).

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

After

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

After

small=[3];large=[0, 1, 2, 3];small subset large=Yes

Conditions: none

Normalize both sets even for an outside point;do not ignore invalid set data.Inclusion compares original labels in the same universe.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: neighborhood_both_candidates_typed · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · implies

Before

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

After

all point-containing opens=[[3], [0, 3], [0, 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=small;point=3;candidate=[3];point-open basis=[[3], [0, 3], [0, 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

S006 · implies

Before

open witness=[3];small=[3];large=[0, 1, 2, 3]

After

point in witness and witness subset large=Yes;large neighborhood=Yes

Conditions: none

The same point-containing open witness lies inside small and hence large by inclusion;large need not itself be open.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: neighborhood_upward_existing_witness · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · implies

Before

point qualified=Yes;included=Yes;small neighborhood/status=Yes

After

conditional large neighborhood/status=Yes

Conditions: none

Evaluate the last field only after every specified premise holds.A failed premise leaves it unevaluated rather than proving large is not a neighborhood.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: neighborhood_upward_all_premises_before_value · Uses: G001, S006

Reverse checks

  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
  • 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.

Result

(4, 3, Yes, [3], [0, 1, 2, 3], Yes, Yes, Yes)

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