BT001L · Bertrand theorem

mul_le_mul_left

Stable checked-use theorem · independently kernel verified

Left multiplication preserves the witness-defined order.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved. Exact original first-admission records.

Statement with defined notation

∀ a. ∀ b. ∀ c. Le(a,b)Le(c · a,c · b)

Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. Expanding the displayed statement recovers the exact first-order Peano-arithmetic formula checked by the unchanged kernel.

Definition-aware tactic body

Only local propositions introduced by have or suffices are compacted. Every changed line has an exact-AST conservative-expansion receipt; the kernel still receives the immutable original tactic script.

This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.

Definition notation is shown below. Open the paired exact edition for the original native formulas. Source pairing is not a new equivalence certificate.
