Image of Mapping of Intersections is Smallest Basis

Theorem
Let $T = \struct {X, \tau}$ be a topological space.

Let $f: X \to \tau$ be a mapping such that:
 * $\forall x \in X: \paren {x \in \map f x \land \forall U \in \tau: x \in U \implies \map f x \subseteq U}$.

Then the image $\Img f$ is subset of every basis of $T$.

Proof
Let $\BB$ be a basis.

Let $V \in \Img f$.

Then by definition of image there exists a point $b \in X$ such that:
 * $V = \map f b$

Then $V$ is open because $\Img f \subseteq \tau$.

By assumption of mapping $f$:
 * $b \in V$

Then by definition of basis there exists a subset $U \in \BB$ such that:
 * $b \in U \subseteq V$

By definition of basis:
 * $\BB \subseteq \tau$

Then by definition of subset:
 * $U \in \tau$

Then by assumption of mapping $f$:
 * $\map f b \subseteq U$

Thus by definition of set equality:
 * $V = U \in \BB$
