Stable checked-use theorem · independently kernel verified

No natural is strictly below itself, with strict order fully expanded.

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.

Structural proof guide

No natural is strictly below itself, with strict order fully expanded.

Direct prerequisites: add_succ_left, no_succ_add_fixed. The authored body proceeds by case analysis (1).

Proof neighborhood

Direct dependencies

Direct dependents

Formal native tactic body

Dependencies are hypotheses of the historical Alpha-v12 body receipt. The complete historical Alpha-v18 proof bundle independently checks every dependency; current Alpha v25 preserves that checked theorem use without changing Stable membership.
