beta_range_exists

Stable checked-use theorem · independently kernel verified

Every start and length admit a beta-coded consecutive range.

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

Every start and length admit a beta-coded consecutive range.

Direct prerequisites: beta_range_empty, beta_range_succ_extend. The authored body proceeds by structural induction (1), case analysis (2).

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.
