four_square_signed_sum_four_decomposition

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

A four-addend square splits constructively into four diagonal squares and its six symmetric cross pairs.

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 x y z w. (x + y + z + w) * (x + y + z + w) = ((x * x + y * y + z * z) + w * w) + (((x * y + y * x) + (x * z + z * x) + (y * z + z * y)) + ((w * x + x * w) + (w * y + y * w) + (w * z + z * w)))

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