Object Banach–Tarski paradox
The Banach–Tarski paradox is a theorem in set-theoretic geometry stating that a solid ball in 3‑dimensional space can be decomposed into finitely many non-measurable pieces and reassembled into two identical copies of the original ball, highlighting counterintuitive consequences of the axiom of choice.

How this triple was built (4 steps)

Every LLM step that produced this triple, in pipeline order — named-entity classification, the disambiguation choices (the exact options shown, with the pick highlighted), and the generated description. The batch + timestamp of each is in the Provenance table below.

NER Named-entity recognition gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input
Phrase: Banach–Tarski paradox | Statement: [axiom of choice, implies, Banach–Tarski paradox]

Target entity: Banach–Tarski paradox
Context triple: [axiom of choice, implies, Banach–Tarski paradox]
  • A. Steinhaus theorem
    The Steinhaus theorem is a fundamental result in measure theory stating that the difference set of any subset of the real numbers with positive Lebesgue measure contains an open interval around zero.
  • B. Brouwer fixed-point theorem
    The Brouwer fixed-point theorem is a fundamental result in topology stating that any continuous function from a compact convex set (such as a closed disk) to itself has at least one fixed point.
  • C. Smale’s paradox
    Smale’s paradox is a result in differential topology showing that a sphere can be turned inside out in three-dimensional space through smooth deformations without tearing or creasing, challenging intuitive notions of geometry.
  • D. Cantor’s paradox
    Cantor’s paradox is a foundational result in set theory showing that the “set of all sets” cannot exist because its power set would have a strictly larger cardinality, leading to a contradiction.
  • E. Poincaré conjecture
    The Poincaré conjecture is a landmark problem in topology that characterizes the three-dimensional sphere among three-dimensional manifolds and was famously solved by Grigori Perelman in the early 2000s.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
