CH and the existence of a counterexample of norm density aleph one

Back to Project mathematical routes

Scope

The CH equivalence reuses the two continuum-density Cards and adds one direct Card. Its reverse implication applies the general density obstruction without assuming a faithful separable representation; the equivalence assumes neither CH nor its negation and makes no independence claim.

1 direct Card + 2 reused prerequisites = 3 unique Cards. This count is a selected Card closure, not a source-declaration count.

Detailed route conditions

This separate route has one direct Card: the CH equivalence. It reuses the two density Cards as references; they remain members of the main route and are not duplicated as new selected Cards.

The forward implication substitutes into the continuum-density existence result. The reverse applies the density obstruction to an arbitrary witness and obtains . It does not assume that this witness has a faithful separable representation. The equivalence itself assumes neither CH nor its negation and is not a forcing or independence proof.
