Exact binomial valuation · arbitrarily long prime chains

Bertrand prime windows and iterated chains

Thirteen complete proofs establish a prime of multiplicity exactly one in the central binomial coefficient and construct beta-coded strict Bertrand chains of arbitrary finite length.

13 kernel- and Lean-verified Alpha-closed theorems · 15 conservative definitions · 17 notation dependencies

Alpha v34 checked-use · first admitted v20 · independently kernel and Lean verified; not Stable

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.
