le_scaled_nonzero

Stable checked-use theorem · independently closed

Scaling by a nonzero natural does not decrease a natural.

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

∀ C. ∀ B. ¬C = 0 → Le(B,C · B)

Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. This is a reading surface; the compiler expands the statement before the unchanged kernel checks it.

Definition-aware tactic body

Only local propositions introduced by have or suffices are compacted. The untrusted compiler re-expands each one before the original tactic script is replayed; defined notation is never accepted by the kernel. Open the exact replay line beneath every changed 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.

Definition notation is shown below. Open the paired exact edition for the original native formulas. Source pairing is not a new equivalence certificate.
