Alpha v34 independently verified · alpha_closed; checked-use authorized; not Stable

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

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.

Constructive proof overview

Generated structural guide

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

The unchanged tactic script uses 1 declared prerequisite and contains 8 exact native proof lines.

dependency-curried kernel-checked theorem body; Alpha enrollment and checked-use authority follow separately sealed release evidence; Stable membership remains unchanged

Historical empty-context replay experiment only; that experiment persisted no certificate and granted no release authority. Current checked use follows separately sealed, independently verified proof bundles; there is no Stable promotion.

Direct dependents

Formal native tactic body

Dependencies are introduced as named hypotheses before line 1. Local theorem links identify exact declared prerequisites. This exact body belongs to a complete independently kernel-checked constructive proof bundle and has Alpha checked-use authority; it does not imply Stable membership.
