fermat_four_no_fourth

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

Fermat's last theorem for exponent four holds unconditionally for every positive natural triple in unchanged Heyting arithmetic.

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 a b h. ~(a = 0) -> ~(b = 0) -> ~(h = 0) -> ~(a * a * a * a + b * b * b * b = h * h * h * h)

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

Definition-aware tactic body

Only propositions whose conservative expansion has been checked for exact first-order equivalence are compacted. Every changed line retains its immutable exact replay command.

This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.
