How this triple was built (5 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: axiom of choice | Statement: [von Neumann paradox in set theory, usesAxiom, axiom of choice]

Target entity: axiom of choice
Context triple: [von Neumann paradox in set theory, usesAxiom, axiom of choice]
  • A. Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory
    Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory is the standard axiomatic framework for modern set theory, designed to avoid paradoxes and provide a rigorous foundation for much of mathematics.
  • B. axiom schema of separation
    The axiom schema of separation is a principle in set theory that guarantees the existence of subsets defined by properties or predicates, helping to avoid paradoxes by restricting unrestricted set formation.
  • C. Zermelo set theory
    Zermelo set theory is an early axiomatic system for set theory, introduced by Ernst Zermelo to rigorously formalize the concept of sets and avoid known paradoxes.
  • D. set theory
    Set theory is a foundational branch of mathematical logic that studies collections of objects, called sets, and underpins much of modern mathematics.
  • E. Cantor’s theorem
    Cantor’s theorem is a fundamental result in set theory stating that the power set of any set has a strictly greater cardinality than the set itself, implying there is no largest infinity.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
