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.
These are the exact finite integer inequalities with constant 8, for every N≥2. The proof uses constructive binomial and primorial infrastructure; it does not assume logarithms, asymptotic estimates, the prime number theorem, or a factorization oracle.
Exact theorem in conservative defined notation
∀ n. ∀ P. ∀ Q. Pow(4,n,P) → PowTwo(n + n,Q) → P = Q
Every linked abbreviation expands hygienically to the identical original native formula.
