Failure of nested compact image intersection without closed fibers

ID: failure-of-nested-compact-image-intersection-without-closed-fibers

Take with its usual topology and the Sierpiński space with open singleton . The map , for is continuous, since is relatively open in . The sets are nonempty, nested and compact, but
The fiber of is not closed, which is exactly where the compact-intersection proof fails. This distinguishes the valid Hausdorff-codomain theorem from a false extension to arbitrary codomains.
