Borel Determinacy Theorem

Logic and Foundations

In descriptive set theory, the Borel determinacy theorem states that any Gale-Stewart game whose payoff set is a Borel set is determined, meaning that one of the two players has a winning strategy for the game. A Gale-Stewart game is a possibly infinite two-player game in which both players have perfect information and no randomness is involved.

Has Statement Form

Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
