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.
Historical partial components only: this chapter proves arbitrary signed cofactor minors and exact signed determinants through dimension four. T13 is now closed by the separate Alpha-v27 integer-linear-algebra branch: arbitrary determinant data, rank, and integer column spans, without a claim of lattice index or normal forms.
