ModEq(m,a,b)

Balanced-natural congruence modulo m.

Conservative notation; not a theorem, primitive, or axiom.

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.

Hygienic expanded first-order definition

exists u v. a + m * u = b + m * v

The unchanged native kernel never receives this surface symbol. Binder-safe expansion produces only its existing first-order syntax.

Direct definition dependencies

none — first-order arithmetic only
