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.

Definition in prerequisite notation

∃ u. ∃ v. a + m · u = b + m · v

Only definitions earlier in this acyclic notation graph are used here.

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
