Statement with defined notation
forall a b c. a + (b + c) = b + (a + c)Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. This reading surface never changes the unchanged intuitionistic kernel or confers checked-use authority.

Only propositions whose conservative expansion has been checked for exact first-order equivalence are compacted. Every changed line retains its immutable exact replay command.
