Implication of a set of zeros with positive measure

AI Thread Summary
A non-zero measured subset X in R^n satisfies the equation sum(ψ_ix_i) = 0 for all x in X. To demonstrate that each ψ_i must equal zero, one must show that if any ψ_i were non-zero, it would contradict the non-zero measure of X. The existence of a non-zero ψ_i would imply the ability to solve the sum equation for specific x values, leading to a logical inconsistency. Therefore, all coefficients ψ_i must be zero to maintain the integrity of the non-zero measure condition. This conclusion reinforces the relationship between the properties of measurable sets and linear combinations.

I have a non-zero measured subset X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} on which \sum_{i=1}^{n}\psi_{i}x_{i}=0 for all x=(x_{1},\ldots,x_{n}) in X. How can I show that \psi_{i}=0 for i=1,\ldots,n?

This will eventually lead to a contradiction with "non-zero measure".
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
