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

Four coordinates each divisible by k have a norm exactly divisible by the natural square k².

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.

Statement with defined notation

forall k u v w x. ((k * u) * (k * u) + (k * v) * (k * v) + (k * w) * (k * w) + (k * x) * (k * x)) = (k * k) * (u * u + v * v + w * w + x * x)

Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. This reading surface never changes the unchanged intuitionistic kernel or confers checked-use authority.
