pythagorean_even_odd_square_gap_odd

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

An even first parameter and odd second parameter force their witnessed square difference to be odd.

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

∀ m. ∀ n. ∀ d. m · m = n · n + d → Even(m) → Odd(n) → Odd(d)

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