Fortissimo Space is Paracompact

Theorem
Let $T = \left({S, \tau_p}\right)$ be a Fortissimo space.

Then $T$ is a paracompact space.

Proof
Let $\mathcal C$ be an open cover of $T$.

Let $U_p \in \mathcal C$ be an open set in that cover which contains $p$.

All the points of $S \setminus U_p$ are open points by definition of Fortissimo space.

Then $\mathcal D = \left\{{\left\{{s}\right\}: s \in S \setminus U_p}\right\} \cup \left\{{U_p}\right\}$ is an open refinement of $\mathcal C$.

Take $k \in S$:
 * If $k = p$, then $U_p$ is a neighbourhood of $k$ which intersects only with $U_p$ from all the subsets in $\mathcal D$
 * If $k \ne p$, then $\left\{{k}\right\}$ is a neighbourhood of $k$ which intersects only with $\left\{{k}\right\}$ from all the subsets in $\mathcal D$

Thus $\mathcal D$ is by definition locally finite.

Hence, by definition, $T$ is a paracompact space.
