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

A pair of natural coordinates with matching constructive parity has an explicitly even sum.

historical independently replay-verified empty-context experiment; the experiment itself persisted no certificate and granted no release authority; current checked use follows separately sealed proof bundles; no Stable promotion.

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

∀ a. ∀ b. Even(a)Even(b)Odd(a)Odd(b)Even(a + b)

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.
